REGRESSION ANALYSIS ON THE HOURS SPENT ON THE INTERNET AND TIME SPENT TO STUDY ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS.
Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate a regression analysis of the hours spent on internet and the time spent to the study on academic performance of students. To achieve this purpose, three research questions and two research hypotheses were formulated to guide this study. The researcher adopted quasi experimental research design and a sample size of 140 were selected from the total population of 4850 using stratified random sampling technique while mean and standard deviation was used in answering the research questions and in testing the tested regression analysis statistical method was employed. The study reveals that there is a relationship between time spent studying outside of class and academic performance of students and there is a positive relationship between time spent working and academic performance of students. The study was concluded with some recommendations that awareness programmers should be put in places to sensitize students of the advantages derived from the use of the internet.
