Abstract
This study determined the influence of social networking use and digital literacy towards the engagement of senior high school students. The investigation utilized adapted survey questionnaires validated by experts and answered by senior high school students from the selected basic education institutions in Davao City. The gathered data were analyzed through mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression. The result revealed that social networking use and digital literacy were high, while student engagement was very high. Further, the result showed a significant relationship between social networking use, digital literacy, and students’ engagement. This means that means that students who are more adept in using social networking sites and exhibit higher digital literacy are likely to be more engaged in their academic activities. Based on the findings, an information technology intervention tool was developed to improve the students' engagement.
