3. INTRODUCTION
Christian Lous Lange-Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.
Technology is the present world. It affects people’s daily lives, whether it inspires somebody to be the master
at videogames or makes somebody a computer hacker. It is changed the generation of teenagers/young adults rapidly. It
has made the generation more greedy, ignorant and lazy.
Technology does the “thinking” for both the students and the teacher. Teachers that are not well trained in
using technology in the classroom actually take away from teaching time. Not knowing how to use technology
properly takes away from valuable teaching time in the classroom. This is another downfall of using technology in the
classroom.
Technological resources such as computers, laptops and mobile phones used in teaching and learning
activities have both constructive and destructive effect on academic environment affecting both students and teachers.
4. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
• This study aims to determine the effects of improper usage of technology in the Academic Performances of Caluluan High School
Students
• Specifically, the researchers sought answers to the following questions:
1. What are the respondents profile in terms of:
1.1 Age
1.2 Gender
1.3 Grade level
2. How does improper usage of technology affects the academic performances of students?
3. What are the impact of improper usage of technology to the students in terms of:
3.1. Personality
3.2. Classroom behavior
3.3 Examination
5. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
• The findings of the study about the effect of improper usage of technology would be significant and
would give information to the following
• Students. The result of this study will provide empirical data to heighten their perception of how
improper usage of technology can affect their academic performances. This will also assist the
respondents in determining the technology as one of the reason why their academic performances
decreases.
• Parents. The result of this study will provide information on what is the reason why their children
decreases their performances at school and will provide a guide to them on what is the impact of
technology to their children
• Teachers. This present study provides a preliminary framework for better understanding about why
students decreases their academic performances. There is a need for enhancing this study will include
large number of informants from different areas or places.
• Researchers. This study will provide some information for us about what is the impact of technology
for us as a study if we don’t use it properly.
6. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
•
The main purpose of this study is to provide information regarding
technology and how improper usage of technology affect the academic
performances of the student. The study considers the students background about
its academic standing.
• The researchers limited the study to 30 school students enrolled in the
school year of 2018-2019 of Caluluan High School. Each of the respondents
was given a questionnaire to answer.
7. DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Academic Performances. It refers to defined by students’ reporting of past semester
CGPA/GPA and their expected GPA for the current semester. The grade point average or GPA is
now used by most of the tertiary institutions as a convenient summary measure of the academic
performance of their students. The GPA is a better measurement because it provides a greater
insight into the relative level of performance of individuals and different group of students.
• Decreases. It refers to lower or go down. If you are driving above the speed limit, you
should decrease your speed or risk getting a ticket. Students always want teachers to decrease
the amount of homework.
• Limitation. It refers to restriction or a defect, or the act of imposing restrictions.
• Misuse. It refers to use something in an unsuitable way or in a way that was not intended
• Technology. It is refers to branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical
means and their interrelation with life, society and the environment, drawing upon such
subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science and pure science.
8. CHAPTER II
Review of Related Literature and Studies
This chapter presents related literature surveys and studies reported by both
foreign and local authors. Published and unpublished documentation relevant to
the study are presented in this chapter to exemplify what is already known
regarding this problem and what needs further investigation. These materials
serve as guidelines to the researchers in the pursuit of the study.
9. FOREIGN LITERATURE
Technology in the classroom.
In the review of technology, Rogers (2001) discovered that basing a program
on a single technological medium does not provide the education efficacy and student
appeal garnered from introducing multiple types of technology into a course. This
blending of media facilities and enables the learning experience, but should also
include faculty-student interaction classroom setting.
Lang (2000) stated that faculty must be thoroughly grounded in the
technologies chosen for use in their classrooms to allow them to provide guidance to
students and allow the technology to effectively blend into the classroom, rather than
allow its glistens and misuses to become a distraction or deterrent to quality classroom
instruction
10. LOCAL LITERATURE
• According to Monico C. Jacob, President & CEO , STI, in his message during the
PCPS3 Training Program (PC for Public Schools-Phase 3), as educators, "you are
tasked with developing the minds of your charges and preparing them for the
challenges they will be facing in the years to come. -however, the country’s limited
resources make it difficult to maximize the students’ potential and the educators are
faced with the quandary of making education more meaningful to them,(Monico C.
Jacob, 2007). Jacob, in the training addressing on teacher participants.. “As you
embarked on this step towards enhancing your computer technology skills, you are
challenged to step up and make a difference. The power to chart the course of your
students’ destiny is in your hands."
11. FOREIGN STUDIES
• Norway had one-to-one coverage of internet-connected laptops in upper secondary school, while the
EU-average was fourteen students per laptop. The one-to-one laptop coverage requires substantial
investment. This could be one of the explanations why the Norwegian government spends 60 percent
more money per student in upper secondary education than the average of countries in the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (Norwegian Directorate for
Education and Training, 2017e). However, Norwegian students do not perform much better than the
OECD-average in mathematics, science or reading, indicating that high spending per student cannot
automatically be equated with high performance (OECD, 2015a). This motivated us to study the eject
of technology use on academic performance in upper secondary school. During the last ten years,
there has been much focus on the place of technology in education (Hatlevik et al., 2013). Already in
2013, more than 80 percent of second-year students in upper secondary education reported that they
used laptops always or regularly during class. In August 2017, the Norwegian Government presented
the new digitization strategy for education, which aims to increase technology literacy among the
students to make them more equipped to handle the future (Norwegian Ministry of Education and
Research, 2017). The strategy states that educational institutions should be in a leading position in
digitization as digital literacy will result in better labor market outcomes, and investments in
technology at an early stage may increase returns to education drastically.
12. LOCAL STUDIES
• Bringing the electronic media into the schools could
capitalize on the strong motivation qualities that these
media have for children. Many children who are turned off
by school are not turned off by one or another of the
electronic media; quite the opposite. An educational system
that capitalized on this motivation would have a chance of
much greater success. Each medium has its own profile of
cognitive advantages and disadvantages, and each medium
can by used to enhance the impact of others.(Chaves.
2008).
14. CHAPTER 3
Methods of the Studies and Process of Data
This chapter discusses the methods and procedures
conducting the study. It includes the research design,
instrument of data, respondents of the study, sampling design,
data procedure and statistical treatment of data.
15. RESEARCH DESIGN
The researchers will use the Descriptive Design. It will be most suited
design to obtain the objective of the study which is to know the effects of
improper usage of technology to the performances of a students. Descriptive
Research is a purposive process of data gathering, analyzing, classifying and
tabulating data about prevailing conditions, practices, beliefs, processes,
trends and cause-effect relationships and the adequate and accurate
interpretation about such data with or without aid of statistical treatment.
16. INSTRUMENT OF THE STUDY
We’re going to use observation, survey and
checklist questionnaire in gathering data.
17. RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY
Our respondents are the Senior Students
of Caluluan High School who are always
using any kinds of technology inside the
school/classroom.
18. SAMPLING DESIGN
In order to gather data with regards to our study, we collected
the names of senior high school students that using technology
inside the classroom, to avoid bias in choosing the respondents of
the study, three (3) students in each section were randomly
selected.
The Random Sampling was adopted because the respondents
for the study were randomly selected using fishbowl.
19. DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
Consent to conduct the study will seek from our inquiries investigation and
immersion teacher before the data gathering. After the approval has been granted.
Data gathering will start. The researchers will explain the research study to the
respondents who are the students of Caluluan High School who enrolled in the S.Y
2018-2019.
After the orientation of the concerned, the researchers will start conducting
their research, the researchers will gather data.
20. RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
• We’re going to use observation, survey and checklist questionnaire in gathering data.
• Asses the effect of improper usage of technology to the academic performances of the students where the
Likert scale used the level of frequency:
•
• Verbal Description Scale Index of limits
• Always 5 4.50-5.00
• Often 4 3.50-4.49
• Maybe 3 2.50-3.49
• Sometimes 2 1.50-2.49
• Never 1 1.0-1.49
21. STATISTICAL TREATMENT
