Abstract


This study aimed to assess the impact of social networking sites on the social skills of BPE students of the University of Mindanao and to comprehensively interpret its potential consequences across various aspects of student development. A quantitative research design using the descriptive-correlational design was applied. In interpreting the data, the mean, standard deviation, and Spearman rho were used to determine the significant relationship between the two variables. The data gathered for this study came from a total of 330 BPE students using the Raosoft Sample Calculator. This study found out that there is a significant relationship between the social networking sites and social skills of the BPE students. The study recommends that future studies should investigate the underlying reasons affecting the assertiveness levels of BPE students in both online and offline interactions.

SDG indicators: #3 (Good Health and Well-Being), #4 (Quality Education)
