 CHAPTER I
The Problem And Its Background
Introduction
Technology is the most widely used subject of device among students nowadays. It

contains of different websites that can affect the students if they are not aware about the

advantages and disadvantages of technology. Senior High School students might be innocent in

using technology, that they think it is not dangerous if they are not aware of how to use it in a

proper way. There are variety of causes why students is engage in using technology and these are

it helps them to accomplish many tasks in their daily lives as it lessens the time of them doing

some school related works, it also helps the students in extending their abilities and many more

but even though it has many positive effects it also does have negative effect these are poor

sleeping habits, lack of privacy, and constant distraction.

Baliuag University is one of the few universities in Bulacan, it is located in Baliuag

mainly near in the town. As the researchers are Grade 11 students it is more convenient for them

to conduct the research with their fellow schoolmates thus, the researchers will conduct an

interview with the students. Their respondents must be ten with the strand of ABM and they

chose them because they are really qualified in answering the questions that they will ask.

Technology is a body of knowledge made to create tools, process action and extract

materials. As technology is broad every people have their own understanding of the word

technology.

A study at the University of New South Wales in mechanics course found that the use of

smart sparrow technology lowered the student's failure from 31% to 7% based on an article by

Kurshan B. (2016). With the above-mentioned situation, the main objective of the researcher is

to determine the possible downside and advantage of using technology in school related works of

1
the students. Therefore, the research findings can be the basis of future researchers who will

tackle the same research problem, this is mainly for the purpose of letting the students and future

researchers to know whether the usage of technology can affect their academic performance in a

good or bad way.

Significance of the Study

Most of the senior high school students is using technology to make their school works

easy. Using it may cause advantages and disadvantages, though they will benefit from it they

might also overuse it.

Specifically, this paper is highly significant for the following:

To the Students. Because it will raise awareness about the advantages and disadvantages

of technology in their studies.

To the Faculty. It will benefit them through limiting the students to do school works

with the use of technology. It will also help them to guide the students in using it properly.

To the School Administrations. This will benefit them because they will know how to

deal with the students in this kind of issue if a problem might start because of the usage of

technology.

To the Future Researchers. They can use this as their guide in doing their research.

Review of Related Literature

This section of the research displays the different related researches and literatures that

will support and provide information to the present study about the researcher`s study, entitled:

“Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology to the academic performance of selected ABM

students of Baliuag University school year 2018-2019”. These gathered records, surveys and data

of information can be used to support the research.

Top 10 Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology in Education (2015)

As stated by Ayres, C. (2015) most students needs to understand the proper use of

technology, they might browse websites that are not suitable for them. Proper guidance and

lesson is highly needed for the students. Being wise in using technology helps every student to

recognize the right and helpful websites; it will help them to know if it is harmful to them.

The technological advancements made lives easier especially in the fields of science,

medicine and education. However, some are believed to be lazy aids and unhealthy even in the

classroom setting. Students become independent and mature because of the technology but then

again students must be responsible enough to use it. Proper use of technology will help the

students to have minimal downside of the technology and good planning is required.

10 Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology in Education (2014)

The study of Trumble, L. (2014) states that the problem of the students is they are not

giving attention, thus they might browse the wrong websites which might harm them. The

researcher used survey design to elicit information from the students

Technology, as important and as attracting as they may be, has different side effects to

children in schools. Such downsides include unnecessary dependence which may lead these

children to think for themselves. Informed opinions may be formed only by analyzing the

advantages and disadvantages of incorporating excessive technologies in a learning environment.

As the article revealed that as technology can affect students, whether it is for the good or it will

cause harm, they need to analyze if using excessive technology in related to studies will have a

positive or negative feedback to them. The researcher recommended that even though technology

helps some students to be safe they need guidance from the authority to browse the harmless and

appropriate website.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology in Education (2014)

The researchers Farajova, F.,Hasanor, R.H. (2014) stated that the purpose of their

research was help the teachers and also the students in terms of their academic performance. The

study also shown the advantages and disadvantages of using technologies which clearly helps

them. It also says that having proper knowledge can lead them to the proper use of the

technology and will help them to do better in their school performance.

In terms of education, technology is extremely for both parties – instructors and students.

It can be conducted through computers that may enhance the teaching skills of the instructor and

the learning ability of the students. However, some cases may prove that technology in education

may somehow give a negative outcome for either or both parties as well. The researchers

conclude that many teachers and students uses technology in their daily lives as it can help the

teachers on their teaching method and it can improve the abilities of the students. But sometimes

technology can also have a negative after effect. So both parties should be aware of the possible

outcome in terms of using technology. The researchers also recommend that it is helpful to the

teachers to use technology but they also need to minimize the activities to the internet to avoid

the laziness of the students in doing school activities.

Technology: The Positive and Negative Effect on Student Achievement (2008)

An article was written by Flanagan, J.L. (2008) stated that this study was observe a

relationship between student’s use of technology and their achievements. It also shows us what

device is most used in this study. It says that the technology helps them to finish school works

easily but it also causes them laziness in doing things that needs to do without using technology.

It was conducted by 231 students studying physiology. A survey was sent to the student

regarding their use of technology. The person correlations coefficient and descriptive is

4
implemented to the study. It concludes that the technology usage may provide comparatively

more significant increases in academic achievement than would not use. Research warranted to

test the effect. Then researchers recommended that the Department of Deference should

implement the pilot programs to make decision makers with better information on issues

affecting reserve components.

The Advantages of Technology In The Classroom (2012)

This study of Asma, F. (2012) shows the advantages of technology in classroom and it

used survey and questionnaires. The survey was analyzed with quantitatively and qualitatively

for comparison purposes. The technological tools that students of today have at their disposal

make the task of learning easier and allow for the creation of products that would once have been

impossible. By integrating technology into their classroom, teachers can allow their students to

reap the benefits that these technology tools offer and prepare to use technology in the real

world. The author concludes that, it is benefits to students that these technology tools offer and

prepare to use in the real world and make their task to make it easier and be creative. Also

students enhance their accessing information, they provide more supplementary information,

editing of written works also improves the motivation of the students. To improve about this

study the author would suggest opening up the survey to all students or the respondents. But in

this study the researchers agree that technology really helps the students to feel easier to do the

task in a creative and many ways.

Theoretical Framework

The theory of John Dewey (1859-1952) which is the early founder of constructivism

theory. Dewey had his own beliefs in order to expresses his thoughts about constructivism

theory. Additionally, he believed that construct and learn new things will not happen if the

5
learners do not have old related knowledge in order to complete the learning progress. Also, he

believed that the learners learn better in groups because human nature is convivial, so when they

working together they build their knowledge. Even more, he called teachers to give the student

opportunities to conspire and work through directed activities to build their learning knowledge.

Constructivism theory one of the most significant theory that used in education setting. It

is also one of the best theories that deal with any change or modification occurs in the

educational environment. Along with working to utilize this change to further enhance the status

of this theory in the educational environment.

The most significant change that constructivism theory adapts is integration of

technology in education. Constructivism theory has a great collision for both the learner and the

instructor. In fact, the impact will be much more especially if this theory integrates with

technology. Also, the technologies get the benefit from using constructivism theory as approach

in order to integrate technology in education. The technology will become more helpful.

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this phenomenological study is to discover the advantages and

disadvantages of the technology to the academic performance of the ABM students in Baliuag

University. At this stage in the research, the effects of technology on ABM students will be

generally defined as "The good and bad effects of technology to the school performance of the

ABM students.”

Scope and Limitation

This study was concerned with Advantage and Disadvantage of Technology of Grade 11

ABM students in Baliuag University that is located in many areas, but Annex 3 at the Gil Carlos

St. Baliuag, Bulacan was the main location that the researchers needs to study. The student’s

6
interest in refers to technology as the subject taken by ABM students. Satisfaction towards

technology is the chosen field of the study.

The study is considered of 10 Grade 11 students of Baliuag University. Specially, the

factors in this research were student-related ones which pertains to the interest capacity of

students towards their academic process in studying technology.

An interview protocol served as the main instrument of the study and was also used to

clarify vague answers and documentary analysis and was also employed to answer the specific

questions raised in the proposal.

 CHAPTER II

Methods of Research

The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study is to elaborate the experiences of the

students in technology and to let them understand what are the effects of technology in their lives

most importantly in their academic performance, to show them what the possible outcome is if

they are going to use it in proper or improper way. This section discusses the research design,

participants of the study, data gathering instruments, data gathering procedures, and data analysis

to be used in this research.

Research Design

This descriptive qualitative research design is a study that is comprehensive

summarization and explains the experiences of an individual. It is particularly relevant where

information gets through investigation and it focuses at the present condition. Its ultimate goal is

to improve practice. Cause and effect relationship between behaviour and outcome is presumed

but this method will only let the researchers to make a hypothesis about variables and described

them.

This study can examine factors which can influence behaviours, environments,

circumstances, etc. Specific experiences of individual will be mentioned. It is very useful when

researchers want to know regarding events, who were involved, what was involved, and where

did the things take place. And also descriptive qualitative research needs to be design of choice

when a straight forward description is desired. It is generally characterized by simultaneous data

connection and analysis. And its purpose is to identify and provide evidence to support the fact

that certain variables exist.

9
Participants and Sampling Procedure

15 Senior High School students from Baliuag University participated in this study.

However only 10 agreed to be interviewed. Out of 10 senior high school students, 8 are female

while 2 are males. About 50% are aged 16, while 40% are in their 17 and one 18 years old

(10%). All of the participants were given the interview questions ahead of time and they

preferred to answer by voice recording.

There are many things that can influence a researcher’s way of conducting their research,

these are place limitation on what sampling technique is feasible as stated by Kvale. (1996)

Seidman. (2006). It continues until the researchers sensed that the answers have reached

saturation. The type of saturation the researcher is aiming is called “Saturation of knowledge,”

this describes how a researcher is surprised from the first few interviews but as the fifteenth

respondent answers, the researchers recognize the patterns of the interviewee. Bertaux. (1981).

Saturation can be the desired end point of the data collection as it is really uncertain on when to

stop gathering data. Mason. (2010).

Research Instrument

Since this study aims to understand the effects of technology in the academic

performance of the participants, an interview protocol was used as guide for the researcher to ask

questions. Follow-up questions were asked as needed in order to further probe into the

experiences of participants. The sources of the data of this study are: (a) audio taped and

transcribed interviews, and (b) written answer of the respondents to profile questions such as age,

strand, section, general weighted average, and gender.

Data Gathering Procedure

The ABM students are the respondents of this study. A letter of permission was

10
addressed and given to the assistant principal of the Senior High School Department. An initial

interview was conducted by the researchers in order to know who are eligible to be the

respondents of this study. The interview followed a series of steps, student participants were

offered interview questions in advance. 5-10 minutes was the allotted time for each of the

interview and the researchers were available in case they were longer and because the nature of

the research involved asking the participants about their experiences, the research made sure that

the interview had to be conducted with sensitivity to consequences for the participants. Their

involvement was characterized with transparency nor were they deceived, exploited or harmed in

any way.

Data Analysis

The researchers used this essential process for educational institutions and individuals,

called transcription process to deconstruct the information given in the voice record. This helped

the researchers analyze and facilitate easily the given data, It serves as a tool to combine the

answers from the respondents. The word for-word transcription allows the researchers to listen

and interpret what is being said more effectively. Students can relate to this topic because they

can easily get information through technology.

This process helped the researchers to know the opinions of the respondents and their

positive and negative thoughts about the technology. The respondents can easily answer the

interviewer’s questions. It can also benefit the researchers through this method because even if

they did not take down all the information, they can still listen to the audio to recall the

respondents answer. Transcribing is really a difficult task, even for the most skilled transcribers

but even though it is hard it can still help the researches to conduct this study.

researchers recommends their findings to the following persons.

Summary of Findings

The researchers based their answers from the information that they gathered from the

respondents. It shows that seven out of ten respondents uses internet for about two to eight hours

which is seventy percent while three respondents uses internet for about ten to eighteen hours.

Fifty percent of them is using the internet to help them get an answer for their school works and

the last fifty percent said that it is easier and faster for them when they used technology. One

respondent stated that technology does not affect her in a negative way and the other one gets

addicted while the remaining respondents stated that laziness occur to them and they are

distracted because of using technology.

In the following questions, these will provide the most helpful answers to the problem.

All of the respondents said that the technology is useful for their school works, eighty percent of

the selected students stated that with the use of technology it helps them to increase their

academic performance while twenty percent stated that sometimes technology helps them and it

depends on how they used it and last, about eighty percent said that when they are exposed to

different kinds of technology it has advantage for them and about 20% disagree to it.

Conclusion

Based on the research findings of this study, the researchers have therefore concluded

that:

1. Time management is really needed when the respondents are using internet for their

school works. The selected students usually spend around 2 to 18 hours in using internet.

2. With the use of technology all of the respondents stated that by using it helps them in

many ways including their school works specifically their assignments, projects, and

research.

3. Most of the respondent’s academic achievement increased through the use of technology

as it helps them in searching more information, gaining more knowledge and it helps

them in enhancing their achievements in school.

4. Each respondent believed that the positive effects of using technology is they gain more

information through searching, it helps them to make home works easier and they

communicate easily.

5. Our selected respondents are affected by the technology, because they consume a lot of

time instead of working by their school works. When they use gadget they are distracted

and their time is divided and most of the time they spend much time on using gadgets.

6. Most of our respondent has an advantage in using technology because it's easier for them

to know terms in related to their strand through searching, it also shows accurate answers

and it provides knowledge which can help them specifically in their research. But even

though it has many positive effects it also has a bad side of it these are they get distracted

and the other one stated that being an ABM students does not really need technology in

their school works.

20
Recommendation

The result of this study has been recommended to the following persons:

1. To the Students. This will benefit them to have proper guidance in using technology.

This will also serve as the basis of the students to know what the effects of technology in

their study is. And to raise awareness about it.

2. To the Faculty. The researchers wants to recommend the faculty staffs to limit or lessen

the school works given to the students and it will also help them in guiding the students

in the proper usage of technology.

3. To the Administration. This study will help the administration to know how to deal

with the students in this kind of issue if a problem arises. It will also give an information

on how to help and to minimize the time of the students in using technology.

4. To the Future Researchers. The researchers wants to recommend this study to the

future researchers to use this as their basis and guide to conduct their study and for them

to know more knowledge about the topic.
