INTRODUCTION
Background of Study
Television is one of the worlds widely used electronic device that
plays an important role in humans life..
Television has a number of uses. First of all, it makes it possible
for us to see what is happening far away. In our homes we watch
on television, films or events taking place in other cities, countries
and other continents. The artificial satellites have made it possible to
watch events in other countries directly.
Television is a very fine medium of entertainment. It brings
musician and the music, singer and his singing and actor and his
acting close to us. Whether it is rain or sunshine, hot or cold, we can
enjoy television programs within four walls of our homes.
Television can be used to teach uneducated people. Through it we
can improve knowledge of our students and educated people. We can
present on TV educational programs of different categories.
The invention of the television was the result of the work by many
inventors, scientists and engineers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many
inventors made technological breakthroughs that were used by other
inventors to successfully make working television systems.

Television provides information about local and foreign events, it
also conducts television show such of these are game shows, talents
shows and reality shows that offers entertainment and fun to the
viewers. Television gives valuable information to students viewing
knowledge channels or discovery channels that improves the knowledge
of a student.
Television have been productive since it was invented, it improves
peoples awareness to daily events and even global events . For
instance , an anchorman reports an up-to-date news about global
economic crisis, or about the number of victims due to natural
disaster such as tsunamis, earthquake, heavy storms etc. Television
maybe considered as one of the most significant inventions man have
ever invented since the start of industrialization and modernization in
18th century because of its uses and advantages it may give to a
person.
As time passes by, viewing of television is still very useful to
human lifestyle. But improper and abusive usage of television on the
part of the viewer may result to disadvantages. It may result to
disorder to a person or group of person that practices such thing. One
of these are the students. As mentioned earlier, students can gain
vital information from viewing television. They can gain new knowledge
and ideas and facts from knowledge channels and discovery channels

on TV. And they can even take down notes from watching over a
worthwhile TV programs that is related and important to their studies.
However, there are students who does not exercise proper usage
and utilization of television at their home. They tend to forget and
even neglect their responsibility as a student, their duty to study and
learn important lessons that can be gained in school.
For this very reason, the study is to be conducted to determine
the extent of TV utilization of WNU BSIT students and how such
utilization influence their academic performance.

Conceptual Literature
Television
Television (TV) is a telecommunicationmedium for transmitting and
receiving moving images that can be black-and-white or monochromatic
(shades of grey) or multicolored. Images are usually accompanied by sound.
"Television" may also refer specifically to a television set, television
programming, and television transmission
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television).
Television program
A television program (television programme in the United Kingdom,
Ireland and many Commonwealth countries), also called television show (in
the United States), is a segment of content, which is intended to be
broadcast on television. It is the product of a television productionor the
filmmaking process. It may be a one-time broadcast or part of a periodically
recurring series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_program, August
2011).

Video production
Video production is videography, the process of capturing moving
images on electronic media (e.g., video tape, direct to disk recording, or solid
state storage like a tapeless camcorder) even streaming media. The term
includes methods of production and post-production. It is the equivalent of
filmmaking, but with images recorded electronically instead of film stock
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_production, 10 September 2011).
Transmission
Transmission (in telecommunications) is the process of sending,
propagating and receiving an analogue or digital information signal over a
physical point-to-point or point-to-multipoint transmission medium, either
wired, optical fiber or wireless.[1] Transmission technologies and schemes
typically refer to physical layer protocol duties such as modulation,
demodulation, line coding, equalization, error control, bit synchronization
and multiplexing, but the term may also involve higher-layer protocol duties,
for example, digitizing an analog message signal, and source coding
(compression)

A television channel is a physical or virtual channel over which a
television station or television network is distributed. For example, in North
America, "channel 2" refers to the broadcast or cable band of 54 to 60 MHz,
with carrierfrequencies of 55.25 MHz for NTSC analog video (VSB) and
59.75 MHz for analog audio (FM), or 55.31 MHz for digital ATSC (8VSB).
Channels may be shared by many different television stations or cable-
distributed channels depending on the location and service provider
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_channel, November 2010).
Television station
A television station is a type of broadcast station that broadcasts both
audioandvideo to televisionreceivers in a particular area. Traditionally, TV
stations made their broadcasts by sending specially-encoded radio signals
over the air, called terrestrial television. Individual television stations are
usually granted licenses by a government agency to use a particular section
of the radio spectrum (a channel) through which they send their signals.
Some stations use LPTVbroadcast translators to retransmit to further areas
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_station, January 2008).
Television network
A television network is a telecommunications network for distribution
oftelevision program content, whereby a central operation provides
programming to many television stations or pay TV providers. Until the mid-

1980s, television programming in most countries of the world was dominated
by a small number ofbroadcast networks. Many early television networks
(e.g. the BBC, NBC or CBS) evolved from earlier radio networks
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_network ,October 2007).
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation
satellite system (GNSS) that provides location and time information in all
weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line
of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States
government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System, 14 September
2011).
Television transmitter
A television transmitter is a device which broadcasts an
electromagnetic signal to the television receivers. Television transmitters
may be analogue or digital. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_transmitter, 15

The cost of television show production is covered by advertising. In
their article published in "The Quarterly Journal of Economics," Michael
Spence and Bruce Owen claim that "consumers are given a free product (the
program) in order to generate audiences that are then sold to advertisers."
Television shows offer commercial slots that advertisers pay for depending
on factors such as demographics and ratings. For years, advertisers have
entered bidding wars for Super Bowl commercial slots because of the game's
high ratings. Newer forms of integrated advertising such as product
placement promote products more inconspicuously through dialog or
appearances, while promotional merchandise is directly related to promoting
the show's fan-base rather than external products (Duke University Libraries
(Chanelle Sicard, November 2008).

Research Literature
A study was conducted by Dr. Randall Neustaedter, OMD, studies have
shown that television viewing is associated with learning problems and
language delays in preschoolers (Tanimura, 2007). Television viewing
promotes attention problems (Christakis, 2004) and interferes with academic
performance (Strasburger, 1986). More than 1,000 studies have shown an
association between exposure to violent television programming and
aggressive or violent behaviors in children (Strasburger, 2002), including
early exposure as preschoolers and later antisocial behavior (Christakis,
2007). It is estimated that the average child views 12,000 acts of violence
every year. Most network broadcasted shows for children contain 20 violent
acts per hour.
Given the association between television viewing and learning or
behavior problems in children, a recent study of preschoolers provides some
alarming statistics. A study of 8,950 children, published in the Journal of
Pediatrics (Feb 2011) found that preschoolers on average are exposed to 4
hours of screen time per day. Children in home-based child care had the
most screen time, averaging 5.5 hours per day. Children in parental care
only were exposed to an average of 4.4 hours of screen time. Obviously,
some of these children watched much more than 4 or 5 hours per day to
produce these averages.

8/3/2019 Research Topic3

The majority of screen time for preschoolers occurred at home.
However, screen time in home-based child care represented 33 percent of
total weekday screen time compared to only 3 percent of total time for day
care centers. The ratio of screen time on average was 1/2 hour at day care
and 3 1/2 hours at home.
Since most screen time occurs at home, parents have the power to
limit their children's screen time and potentially prevent some of these
associated learning problems. A limit of 1 hour of screen time at home per
day will reduce the average of most preschool children's TV exposure by as
much as 75 percent. The type of programming that children watch is
significant as well. Age appropriate programs are essential for preschoolers.
This may be especially difficult to control if older siblings are watching TV. In
that case parents need to be vigilant and instruct older children about
viewing programs when their younger siblings are not present in the room.
Encouraging alternative activities such as reading stories, using building
materials or participating in other creative play is far preferable for
developing learning skills than keeping kids in front of the TV (Christakis DA,
Ebel BE, Rivara FP and Zimmerman FJ. Television, video, and computer game
usage in children under 11 years of age, Journal of Pediatrics 145 (2004), pp.
652-656).
Another study was also conducted by: Jonathan Benson, staff writer.
Study shows roughly 95 percent of poll respondents indicated that they

typically play video games, watch television, use the computer, or access
their smart phones within the hour before they go to sleep. And 43 percent
of respondents between the ages of 13 and 64 said they rarely ever get a
good night's sleep during an average work week.
"This study reveals that light-emitting screens are in heavy use within
the pivotal hour before sleep," said Charles Czeisler from Harvard Medical
School, in a Breitbart piece. "Invasion of such alerting technologies into the
bedroom may contribute to the high proportion of respondents who report
that they routinely get less sleep than they need."
While respondents in older generations tended more towards passively
watching television before bed, younger respondents indicated participation
in more active and brain-engaging activities like playing video games and
using smart phones, which experts say may be even worse for sleep and
overall health.
"Over the last 50 years, we've seen how television viewing has grown
to be a near constant before bed, and now we are seeing new information
technologies such as laptops, cell phones, video games and music devices
rapidly gaining the same status," said Lauren Hale of Stony Brook University
Medical Center. "The higher use of these potentially more sleep-disruptive
technologies among younger generations may have serious consequences
for physical health, cognitive development, and other measures of well-
being."

Keeping mobile phones and other radiation-emitting devices away
from your bed at night will also help improve sleep quality by limiting
exposure to the "electro-smog" they emit that can disrupt restful sleep.
Long-term exposure to even low levels of electromagnetic frequencies
(EMFs) may cause serious health problems, so it is always a smart idea to
limit their use and keep them away from your body whenever possible

Another study conducted by researchers at the University of Rochester
looked at the causes of and solutions to obesity in employees at a
manufacturing facility in upstate New York. In a preliminary evaluation of
baseline data from 2800 professional level male employees, researchers
found the prevalence of obesity mirrored that in the general population.
However, those in more stressful positions had almost a BMI unit more of
weight than did those in less demanding jobs.
The same study found that over 65% of these employees watched two
or more hours of television a day. Many relayed to the researchers that job
stress tired them out and they looked forward to relaxing in front of the TV
when they got home. For those who watched two to three hours of television
a day, the probability of obesity increased by 150%.
This connection between TV time and obesity has also been observed
in other research. For example, a study conducted by the University of

Vermont studied the relationship between TV time and calorie expenditure
for two groups of obese adults. One group had no limit to their TV time. The
other was limited to 3 hours a day when a monitor attached to their set
automatically turned it off. Those who spent less time in front of their TV
burned an average of 119 more calories daily which translated to weight loss
of half a pound per week. These study participants didn't suddenly start a
vigorous exercise program as soon as their televisions went off. Instead, the
authors suggest that since it takes so little energy to watch TV just about any
other activity burns more calories.
Neither of these studies addressed caffeine, which is ubiquitous at
home or work as coffee, tea or soda. There is good evidence that excess
caffeine promotes eating through its impact on cortical levels and blood
sugar. Excess caffeine also causes anxiety raising stress levels.
What can we conclude from this information? First, preliminary results
from the New York study suggest that for reducing job stress, exercise was
more effective than diet. In other words, to relieve stress at work, start by
introducing some form of exercise into your day, even if it is just a quick walk
at lunchtime. This in turn will help with weight loss.
Second, when you get home from work, leave the TV off, or be
selective about the time spent watching it. Then talk to your kids, take your
dog for a walk or work in the yard. Remember, just about anything except
sleep, burns more calories than watching TV.

Third, to help minimize the negative effects of caffeine enjoy a cup or
two of your favorite beverage in the morning. Then switch to hot or cold tea
made from one of the adaptogenic herbs such as Gynostemma. This sweet
flavored Chinese tea helps relieve stress, reduce cholesterol and even out
blood sugar. It is also known to help regulate weight, promoting either
weight gain or weight loss as needed by the individual (University of
Rochester Medical Center ,2010, March 25).
Another study was conducted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Feridun

The study shows that for the future of the society, investments on
education cannot be kept low. Parallel to this, investing on educational
television programs cannot be kept low compare to other television
programs. The money spent on, the labor, the time can be unique to these
programs. But, broadcasting cycle for these programs take almost ten years,
so investment is comparably very low. It is wrong to argue science, art and
television are all apart. Educational television programs needs creative,
unique, conceptualized works in relation to aesthetics and artistic
applications.
In Turkey, using imagination and creative methods for educational
television
-
8/3/2019 Research Topic3
28/50
programs lack. Planned knowledge for the program has to be first
researched, observed and
imagined; aesthetically dimensioned. This is the first step. All written are
under the lights of years. Through cameras, they will be transferred to tapes
with the decision of director. This is the second step. The third step is using
supportive materials for education and teaching in television. All these
applications can take place at pre-broadcasting, during broadcasting and
post broadcasting phases.
At the same time, besides the target audience, approval from the
society for our programs is a real value for the people who gave their labor.
Television, with its capabilities of video, audio and motion, is a strong,
modern mass medium of transferring information to mass audience in
current age. It is like a Trojan Horse with lots of surprises. Some people
consider it as a time consuming medium with lots of fantasies and with no
educational capabilities (Oskay, 1978); some consider it as dumb box and
some consider it as beneficial with stating magic box. Besides these two
contradictory ideas, there are ideas which consider it as useful and helpful
medium for education (Mc Quall, 1970: 182). Television can be used for
supporting education, gathering attention, attracting direction, filling the
blanks, reaching the masses, presenting the facts for both students and
adults in terms of decreasing the problems of education.
According to this, students are not in schools but in informal
environments with totally different educational medium. This is television
-
8/3/2019 Research Topic3
29/50
with all these capabilities in all households. In all aspects of education and
teaching television is the widely spreading medium (Hancock, 1976: 11).
Another fact research findings show is the increase of developing
educational television programs after 1970s (Baggaley, 1982:46).
At first, there needs to be found out where the problems are in current
educational television programs. The answer has to be found out for this:
What are the roles of educator subject specialist (text writer) and television
program maker? The answer depend of different
experiences and viewpoints of specialist and the television program maker.
Subject specialist puts everything on paper when tries to write a script for
television. Writing an article and a television script are not the same thing for
specialist. From program makers View point, whatever the subject is, having
attractive programs for mass audience with limitless imagination is the key
factor with using all possibilities of television.
Educator has a tendency to have effective presentation from an
educational view point and want to limit presentation this way. Thats why,
professional directors would not agree on
letting only educators decide on what needs to be presented and they find
distracting to use
too many visual and dramatic parts in them (Cassirer 1960: 163). Traditional
way of using
speakingthis is another reason for conformism.
-
8/3/2019 Research Topic3

Meanwhile, producer does not want to fit in the educational lines of
educator. According to producer, television has its own coding coming from
years of experience (Cassirer 1960: 163). Griffiths makes statements on
using radio and television in distance learning methods:
The biggest problem in distance learning with using radio and
television is the use of these media inappropriate ways for gaining prestige.
We are the real people grown up with toys and television is one of these
toys (Hzal 1983: 58 from Clarke 1968: 203).
Subject specialist (as text writer) should keep an eye on what
television requires and
Television program director should remember the principles of education to
reach a
satisfactory result.
With its limitations and possibilities, we first need to know why to use
television for
education It is possible to gather two main subjects as educational and
practical (Hzal
1983: 58). The aim of education is to give quality to human nature. Student
wants to see the
face of the teacher where he/she is not able to see from the books and the
texts. Educational
Television provides answer to this need: Programs aim to particular audience

57 formal educations (Dale 1946: 363) create practical goals. These courses
are filled with other
learning experiences as reading, discussion, problem solving, practice
(Akyrek, F,2004).
Another study was also conducted by Science Daily (May 8, 2007)
Approximately 40 percent of three-month old children and about 90 percent
of children age 24 months and under regularly watch television, DVDs or
videos, according to a report in the May issue of Archives of Pediatrics &
Adolescent Medicine.
"The public health implications of early television and video viewing
are potentially large. There are both theoretical and empirical reasons to
believe that the effects of media exposure on children's development are
more likely to be adverse before the age of about 30 months than
afterward," the authors note. Recent studies suggest that what children
younger than two years watch and whether they watch it alone or with a
parent may be important for their vocabulary development.
Frederick J. Zimmerman, Ph.D., of the University of Washington,
Seattle, and colleagues, conducted a telephone survey of 1,009 parents of
children age 2 to 24 months. The study analyzed four television and DVD
content categories: children's educational, children's non-educational, baby
DVDs/videos and grown-up television (such as talk shows or sports
programming). Average daily viewing, reasons parents gave for their child's
-
8/3/2019 Research Topic3
32/50
viewing, who was present during viewing and socio-demographic factors
were reported.
The median age of initiating viewing was 9 months. The average
amount of viewing time for the children was 40.2 minutes per day. At 3
months of age children watched less than an hour per day and by 24 months
they watched more than 1.5 hours per day. "Approximately half of the
viewing was of shows that parents reported to be in the children's
educational category," the authors note. "The remaining half was
approximately equally split among children's non-educational content, baby
DVDs/videos and grown-up television."
Of the reasons given by parents for allowing television and DVD/video
viewing, 29 percent believe that television is educational or good for their
child's brain, 23 percent believe that it is enjoyable or relaxing for their child
and 21 percent believe it gives them time to get things done while the child
is entertained. Parents watched with their children more than half the time.
Researchers also reported that compared with children without
siblings, children with two or more siblings were less likely to view grown-up
television and watched about 18 minutes less per day in all content types.
"These results suggest that it may not only be the amount or content
type that children view, but also the role of siblings in helping to process this
content that may affect whether television viewing helps or hinders
development," the authors conclude. In addition, "these results suggest that
the widespread notion that parents turn to television only as an electronic

babysitter is a misconception...Parents are clearly hungry for truly
educational content for children younger than 2 years. More research is
urgently required to determine whether it is realistic to produce genuinely
educational content for children younger than 2 years, and if so, what it
would be."
This study was supported by the Tamaki Foundation. Dr. Zimmerman is
supported by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (Science
Daily May 8, 2007).
Another study was also conducted by Science Daily (Jan. 4, 2007)
Watching television, eating family meals and the safety of the neighborhood
all play a role in children's weight, according to researchers at the University
of Missouri.
The study surveyed more than 8,000 children between kindergarten
and third grade to identify eating and activity factors associated with school-
age children's weight. Researchers grouped the children into three different
groups: 1) those who were not overweight during kindergarten and first
grade but were overweight by third grade, 2) those who became overweight
during kindergarten and remained overweight through third grade and 3)
those who were never overweight.
The researchers found children who watch more television and eat
fewer family meals are more likely to be overweight once they reach first
grade. Children who watch more TV, eat fewer family meals and live in
-

neighborhoods perceived by their parents as less safe for outdoor play are
more likely to be overweight from kindergarten on.
"Intervening quickly on children's behalf is of the utmost importance,"
the researchers write. "Clinical overweight among this age group tracks
notably into adulthood."
The researchers conclude: "When working with families to prevent and
treat childhood weight problems, professionals should attend to children's
time spent with screen media, the frequency of family mealtimes and
parents' perceptions of neighborhood safety for children's outdoor play."
(Science Daily (Jan. 4, 2007)).
Synthesis
The concepts and studies have a given the research insight and a rich
background for this study. These also contributed to the study and enabled

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design that is to be employed, the
subject and respondents of the study, the data processing procedure, and
the statistical treatment of data.
Research Design
This study aims to determine the extent of TV utilization of the WNU
BSIT students in relation to their academic performance; hence the
descriptive research design is to be employed. This type of research design
involves fact-finding procedures as regards to conditions relationships that
exist, practices that prevail, beliefs or points of view that are held, processes
that are going on, effects that are being felt or trends that are developing.
This also involves the application of appropriate statistical tool in the analysis
and interpretation of data. It is for these reasons that the researchers
consider this research design as appropriate in this study.

This method is characterized as an attempt to analyze, interpret, and
report the status of social institution, group or area. It is a fact-finding
procedure, which is considered with conditions that are held, processes that
are going on or trends that are developing. (Ardales, Basic Concepts and
Methods in Research, 1992).
Subject of the study
The subject of the study are the BSIT students who are officially
enrolled in West Negros University and have consumed and utilize the
television at home or outside at their houses. There are total of 576 BSIT
students in the said school who have utilized the television. Since the
number is quite large, the researcher will decide to use the sample survey.
The formula used in getting the adequate sample size is:

considered as younger.
With regards to sex, the respondents will be grouped into male and
female category.
With regards to economic status, the basis will be the average monthly
family income of the respondent. All the average monthly income of the
respondents will be added and the sum is divided by the total number of
respondents to get the mean. Those respondents whose average monthly
family income is equal or above the mean will be considered as with higher
economic status while those respondents whose average monthly family
income is below the mean will be considered as with lower economic
status.
With regards to access to TV, the respondents will be grouped
according to their accessibility to television whether there is no TV access
or have TV access.
Lastly, with regards to Year level, the respondents will be grouped
according to their respective year level where they belong namely: First
year, Second year, Third year, Fourth year.

Data-gathering Procedure
To gather needed data for this study, the researchers decide to utilize
the questionnaire which they themselves will construct.
The research instrument that is to be used in this study is a
questionnaire on the basis of their readings from different journals, books,
related studies and the Internet.
Part I of the questionnaire aims to solicit information on the person
with characteristics of the respondents namely his/her age, sex, economic
status , access to TV, and year level where he/she belongs.
Part II of the questionnaire aims to gather information about what
extent the respondents utilizes Television namely: Number of hours in a day,
and Number of days in a week.
The respondents will be given options to choose from their answers
which are as follows:

Part III is the questionnaire proper on the extent of TV utilization of the
BSIT students. There are 5 areas to be included in the said instrument
namely: Television drama, Reality television, Game shows, Animated
cartoon, and Educational television. The area on the Television drama is to
be allocated 5 items, while the areas on the Reality television, Game shows,
Animated cartoon, and Educational television are to allocated 7 items each,
thereby totaling 15 items in the instrument.
The respondents will be given options to choose from their answers
which are as follows.

Validity of the instrument. A questionnaire is considered to be valid
if it serves the purpose for which it is designed. According to Ardales,
validity refers to that quality of research instrument or procedure that
enables it to measure what it is supposed to measure and produce data that
are true and accurate. To establish the validity of the instrument, it is to be
subjected to content validation during the proposal defense where it is to be
presented to the Dean of Graduate Studies. The instrument will also be
presented to the researchers adviser. Their suggestions and comments will
be solicited and incorporated in the final copy of the instrument.
Reliability of the instrument. A data-gathering instrument is said to
be reliable if it has the ability to elicit stable, consistent, and dependable
data from the respondents. In order to establish the reliability of the
instrument, it is to be subjected to a test-retest using dry-run respondents 20
BSIT students in all year level from the WNU who are officially enrolled.
These students will not be included in the actual respondents of the study.
The test-retest will be conducted with a 2-week time interval.
Results of the test will be computed to determine the reliability of the
said instrument through the use of the Pearson Product Moment Coefficient
of Correlation or the Pearson r with the formula.

Conduct of the Study
After the validity and reliability of the research instrument will be
established, sufficient copies will be reproduced for administration to the
respondents. The researchers will write a letter addressed to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs asking permission to have access to the
-
8/3/2019 Research Topic3
44/50
records of officially enrolled BSIT students of West Negros University and for
the researchers to have copies of grades of the respondents during the first
semester of the school year 2011-2012. After the permission will be granted,
the researchers will go to the Office of the Registrar and to the dean of the
College of Information and Communications Technology and present the
letter and courteously requested them for researchers to have access to the
grades of the respondents during the first semester of the school year 2011-
2012. The researchers will personally administer the questionnaire to the
respondents, for them to explain the purpose of the study and to answer
possible questions which may arise or need further clarification. They will
wait for the respondents to finish answering the questionnaire. As a result,
the researchers will be able to distribute and retrieve the questionnaire from
the 236 respondents.
Analytical Schemes
This study will employ three analytical schemes in accordance with the
specific objectives of the study.
For objective 1 which aims to determine the extent of TV utilization by
the BSIT students in each of the following areas and when areas are taken
together, and objective 4 which aims to determine the level of academic
performance of the BSIT students, the descriptive analytical scheme will be
used.

For objective 2 which aims to determine whether or not significant
differences exist between the extents of TV utilization by the WNU BSIT
students when they are grouped and compared according to their selected
characteristics which are: age, sex, economic status, access to TV, and year
level they belong , for objective 3 which aims to determine whether or not
significant differences exist between the extents of TV utilization by the WNU
BSIT students according to areas of TV programs they view and when areas
are grouped and compared accordingly which are: Television Drama, Reality
Television, Game Shows, Animated Cartoon, Educational Television, and
objective 5 which aims to determine whether or not significant differences
exist between the level of academic performance of the WNU BSIT students
when they are grouped and compared according to their selected
characteristics which are: age, sex, economic status, access to TV, and year
level they belong, the comparative analytical scheme will be utilized.
For objective 6 which aims to find out whether or not a significant
relationship exist between the extents of TV utilization by the WNU BSIT
students and their selected characteristics which are: age, sex, economic
status, access to TV, and year level they belong, and objective 7 which aims
to find out whether or not a significant relationship exist between the extents
of TV utilization by the WNU BSIT students and their academic performance,
the relational analytical scheme will be employed.
