5. Title: Does Facebook Addiction affect the academic performance of RI Year 4 boys? Our research was conducted to:  Find out the definition of ‘ Facebook Addiction’  Find out if and how Facebook Addiction affects the academic performance of RI Year 4 boys  Alert Year 4 boys about the dangers of Addiction  Find out the solutions to this problem  Give the Year 4 RI boys a new perspective of Facebook

6. This report presents: DDisadvantages and advantages of having Facebook WWays to overcome Facebook addiction The data has been collected through: SSurvey IInterview RResearch

7. Hypothesis:  Facebook addiction affects the academic performance of RI Year 4 boys. Explanation that prompted our research:  Facebook addiction could affect the academic performance of RI Year 4 boys negatively Results can be improved if solutions are found Why:  Our project is to alert RI Year 4 students the harmful effects of Facebook addiction and teaching them the ways to overcome the addiction

9. 1. Each of us came up with a Preliminary Idea (PI), i.e., each individual’s idea about how the project should be conducted 2. Of the four PI, we selected one which we think is the best. 3. We edited the PI to make it our Group Project Proposal (GPP). 4. After that, we created a survey questionnaire and distributed to 20 random Year 4 RI boys to find out about their perspectives of Facebook. 5. We collated our results into the Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet and wrote a survey report. 6. Then, we made an interview questionnaire and interviewed the Head of Character Education of RI, Mrs Jacqueline Chua. 7. We collected the data from the results of the interview and made a transcript of out it before extracting relevant sets of data to create our interview report. 8. We then compiled all the reports that we have done to establish our final report.

10. For our survey: - Sample size of 20 surveyors - Random samples to get fairer results - We had Year 4 boys to fill the survey questionnaire and the results were interpreted into the Excel Spreadsheet. For our interview: - A questionnaire was produced - An Interview was conducted with Mrs Chua

14. FFacebook is beneficial to Year 4 boys but at the same time, it has its disadvantages. It all boils down to how it is being utilized. FFacebook does have disadvantages as well. WWe have also found out that the fact that if the usage of Facebook is affecting someone’s academic performance, it is because he had used Facebook longer than he usually does.

15.  The results that we collated from the research can be applied whenever we use Facebook.  For example, we must minimise the amount of time we use Facebook, so as to have more time to do task that has a higher priority then Facebook.  Another example, is that we can educate the public about the negative effects of Facebook, so as to prevent them from experiencing it.

17.  We did not have enough respondents to survey. If we had more surveyors, the results would have been more accurate  We were limited to only 10 questions for the survey and interview questionnaire each.

18.  We could survey more respondents so as to achieve more accurate results  Another extension would be having more time before handing in our project. This is give us ample chances to refine our work.  Also, we would really love to interview more than one interviewee. If this were possible, then we would obtain more relevant sets of information and save our time researching on the Internet

19.  We would like to show our deepest appreciation to Mr Chow and Dr Raphael for all their invaluable and precious guidance  We also like to express our gratitude to Mrs Chua, for setting aside her valued time for us to interview her  We would also love to thank our parents for their guidance and motivation  We also would like to take this opportunity to thank anyone that made this project a success
