Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science Humanity & Management Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of social media on the political attitude of senior high school learners, particularly in countering political misinformation. Using a descriptive correlational study method, it involved 160 senior high school students from Felix Amante Senior High School, during the academic year 2022-2023. Adapted survey questionnaires were employed to measure the data and underwent internal and external validation through the help of a panel of examiners and a group of teachers. Furthermore, the results revealed that social media plays a significant role in shaping students’ political attitudes, with both affordances and misinformation contributing to their perception of politics. Overall, the findings suggest that social media has a significant impact on the political attitudes of senior high school students, which underscores the importance of educating students on how to critically evaluate the information they encounter on social media.
