  3. Introduction • Internet is a global network of computers linked together over large distances. • Internet is a valuable source of information for students looking for ideas for projects and assignments. • It allows students to broaden their academic experience, access important information and communicate to other within academic community.

  4. Internet is also widely used by students for entertainment, communication and other purposes. Watching streaming video, online chatting, online gaming, reading latest news, checking e-mail and etc. Students experience significant academic problems as they misuse internet. Students have difficulty completing homework assignments, having enough sleep, studying for exam, or less exercise.

  5. RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION Supporters of educational technology believe that internet will make a difference in academic achievement (Foltos,2002). There has been indication that some on-line users are becoming addicted to the internet which may result in academic failure (Brady,1996). Reports from University of Botswana Library state that students are not using the internet for academic purposes. Thus, our research can reveal the effect of internet on the academic performances of biomedical sciences students.

  6. LITERATURE REVIEW Assessing the positive impact - ‘An evaluation of the impact of Internet browsing on students’ academic performance at the tertiary level of education in Nigeria’ by O. Osunade (2003) To evaluate the Internet as a knowledge acquisition tool and its impact on academic performance of students The implication of internet toward academic performance in this study is positive-posttest results for the test group after internet access was significantly better than that of the control group.

  7. Robert W. Kubey et. al(2001) -“Internet Use and Collegiate Academic Performance Decreasements”. Survey was administered to 576 students at Rutgers University. 14 % of the total sample hurt occasionally, frequently, or very frequently due to Internet use. Academically impaired sub group (N = 80), 40% - Internet use had kept them stay up late at night frequently or very frequently 42.5% -sometimes felt tired the next day due to their Internet use; 20% -occasionally, frequently, or very frequently missed class because of their Internet use. This result indicates that academic performance might be impaired by heavier use of the Internet thus more to the negative impact.

  8. MIND MAPPING • Respondents’ habits • Duration & frequency • Network server • Places • Time of preference • Demographic factors • Gender • Race • Year • Resident Preferences Internet Browsing Self- Evaluation Academic achievement (CGPA) for undergraduate biomed 1st, 2nd and 3rd years Time spend for studying CGPA increase or decrease

  9. GENERAL OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between weekly duration of internet browsing with the academic achievement of first, second and third year Biomedical students session 2008/2009.

  10. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE • To compare weekly duration of internet browsing based on demography factors. • To find association between weekly duration of internet browsing and CGPA. • To find association between duration of internet browsing and hours spend on studies weekly.

  11. RESEACRH QUESTION & HYPOTHESIS Question Is there any relationship between weekly duration of internet browsing with academic performance of Biomedical Science students year 1 - 3 session 2008/2009?

  12. Null hypothesis HO : • There is no difference between weekly duration of internet browsing and demography factors. • There is no difference between weekly duration of internet browsing and CGPA. • There is no difference between duration of internet browsing and hours spend on studies weekly.

  13. Alternative Hypothesis HA : • There are differences between weekly duration of internet browsing and demography factors. • There is difference between weekly duration of internet browsing and CGPA. • There is difference between duration of internet browsing and hours spend on studies weekly.

  14. METHODOLOGY

  15. BACKGROUND • Research conducted in UKM KKL branch involving FSKB • Respondents involved are first, second and third year undergraduate students from Biomedical Sciences Department. • Our group consist of 15 Biomedical Sciences third year students . RESEARCH DESIGN Research design that involved is cross sectional study. Our group use questionnaire for survey research.

  16. SAMPLING METHODS • Target Population Undergraduate students of 1st, 2nd and 3rd years from Biomedical Science Department. • Sampel Population Sampling method = Stratified random sampling. Undergraduate student in the sampling frame are divided into stratum according to the years. In each stratum, systematic random sampling is used. The total number of the students would be 285.

  17. Samplesize Samplesizeforthe target populationiscalculatedaccordingtothe formula below:  n = X2 NP (1-P) ∆2(N-1)+X2(1-P) n = 3.84 (285) 0.5 (1-0.5) 0.052 (285-1)+3.84(0.5)(1-0.5) = 163.83 ≈ 164 subjects Add 10% of samplesize in case there are respondentsdroppedout = 16 subjects Therefore, Samplesize = 180 students, where 60 students are chosenfromeachstratum.

  18. MATERIALS AND METHODS USED Questionnaire is used. There are 4 parts in the questionnaire, which are Part A : Demographic factors Part B : Purposes Part C : Respondents’ habits Part D : Self-evaluation

  19. Statistical analysis • The research will be analyzed by using SPSS 14.0 • The value for p is 0.05 corresponding to 95% of confidence interval • The test that will be conducted are : a) Independent t-test @ Mann-Whitney test b) One-way ANOVA @ Kruskal-Wallis test c) Pearson Correlation @ Spearman Correlation

  20. Statistical analysis

  21. ETHICAL ISSUES Researcher: Information are private and confidential. Permission letter is given to respondent before the questionnaires is given. Respondents are given enough time to do the questionnaires ( around five to ten minutes). Brief the information about the introduction and the objective of the research to the respondents. Respondent: Responsible Honest

  22. Define variables Dependent variable in this research is academic performance which is CGPA. Academic performance refers to how students deal with their studies and how they cope with or accomplish different tasks given to them by their teachers. (Source:wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_meant_by_academic_performance - 45k -)

  23. Independent variables Independent variables in this research are • Demographic factor refer to the characteristic of human population such as year, gender, race and residence (Source:www.answers.com/topic/demographics) • Hours spend on internet browsing weekly • Hours spend on studies weekly.

  24. INCLUSIVE AND EXCLUSIVE CRITERIA Inclusive criteria Biomedical science students ( 1st, 2nd and 3rd year) from National University of Malaysia who browse internet. Exclusive criteria Biomedical science students ( 1st, 2nd and 3rd year) from National University of Malaysia who do not browse internet.
