Effect of Internet Usage on the Academic Achievement of Secondary School Students

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigated the effect of Internet usage on secondary school students’ academic achievement under the West Bengal Council of Secondary Education (WBCSE), focusing on variables such as gender and academic classes (IX and X). Using a purposive sampling method, the researcher selected 100 students from Classes IX and X at a school in Contai and administered an internet usage questionnaire. This study tested several null hypotheses using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and an independent sample t-test. The results showed no significant differences in Internet usage and academic achievement between male and female students. It was also found that Class IX students used the internet more than Class X students, suggesting that lower internet usage is linked to higher academic achievement.
