| dc.description.abstract | The topic at hand is a considerably new venture in the academic sphere, although the underlying concept has already been the crux of numerous studies on education, academic performance and the determinants thereof-that a student's performance in school m~ be affected by an array of factors. A Logit estimate of the probability of a student getting General Weighted Averages (GWAs) of at least 1. 75, where a student becomes entitled to being a College Scholar or University Scholar, or otherwise, given their optimal Facebook usage, while controlling for other factors deemed significant, was utilized in carrying out this research: This study sampled 368 University of the Philippines, Diliman undergraduate students in order to identify the possible correlation between Facebook usage and academic performance under the principles of utility maximization with the student facing an allocation constraint between exerting effort in the achievement of good grades and spending time on other activities such as, what many would term, FB. The results showed Facebook usage to be insignificant in determining the probability of a student to get a GWA of at least 1. 75. | |
