Introduction

In today’s world, technology plays an important role in every industry as well as in our
personal lives. In today’s generation, most people are depending on technology. People cannot
live without technologies such as televisions, mobile phones, computers, and others because it
is part of their everyday life. Technology helps people to do their home works quickly because
technology makes their work much easier and less time-consuming.

Another use of technology is communication. We can quickly connect and easily talk with
our friends, families or relatives overseas using a mobile phone or video chats by having internet
access. Technology is also used as entertainment for us because by the use of media sites we
can watch videos, movies, and surf the internet anytime we want.

In education, technology gives a big help to students because of the machines invented.
Using smart phones and computers in part of studying makes the student be more interested to
learn. Students will be more excited to learn and be knowledgeable on how to use technology
devices in the right way. Technology became the part of studying also because of the modern
world.

Technology plays a big role in the medical field, because it is beneficial to humans for
several reasons, it can help treat sick people and consequently save many lives. Improving
machines that can help people be treated and examined. Invention of new medicines to cure
rare diseases.

According to Montrieux, Vanderlinde, Schellens, De Marez (2015) several authors have

mentioned the need to shift from the traditional classroom setting, where the student is seen as
a passive consumer of educational knowledge, to a classroom in which learners are considered
active participants and where collaboration and sharing information in a resource-rich
environment is given precedence. Students nowadays is more interested in

1
 lessons when teacher uses visuals or video clips instead of the old way of teaching. It
catches their attention because it’s more interesting and not boring. It can also enhance their
visual knowledge because of putting technology based teaching.

Technology has positive impacts on education and at the same time, it may also have
negative impacts. The positive impact of it is that it makes students more excited to learn. It
helps the students with busy schedules and has the freedom to work at home on their own
time. It can be a helping hand in terms of education because it can help to gain more
information through the use of internet access. Technology has its negative impacts, we give
most of our time through surfing the internet and get distracted in terms of school works. It
affects the students to become lazy and tardy. There can be health issues too when used over
limit.

The purpose of this research is to help and to give more information to the students about
the right usage of technology in their life and also in education. This research study will help
most of the students to know how technology really helps them in everything when they know
how to use technology in the right way and how technology has playing a big role in education
in today’s generation.

The students are always using technology in everything that’s why the researcher is
encouraged to conduct this research. The role of technology in education also pushes the
researcher to research about the right way to use technology in terms of education. Anything is
instant in today’s generation because of this, the researchers want the students to know that
technology is created to make everybody’s life easier and faster but it should be in moderation.

The study is done in St. Rose Catholic School, Inc. Paniqui, Tarlac in the academic year 2019-
2020. It is for the students of SRCS Senior High School students to know the impact of
technology in their academic performance. This study was done in SRCS for the benefit of the
researcher who is currently attending this school. This research aims to know the basic concern
of the SHS in the impact of technology.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Technology is part of everybody’s life. People uses technology devices almost in

everything because it is part of their everyday life. Technology helps us do our home works
quickly and faster because technology makes our work much easier and less time-consuming.

Communication is one of the use of technology. Communicating to our friends,

classmates, and families or relatives overseas abroad makes more convenient because it of
technology device invented like smart phones and computers. In the medical field, technology
plays a big role because of the machines invented that can help treat sick people and save many
lives. Technology also plays a big role on education because of the machines invented it will help
the students in studying and exploring new things. Technology was created to make people lives
easier and faster but it should be limited and in moderation.

Related Literature

In accordance with (Mohammed T. Al – Hariri PHB, 2017), using technology based

education it makes the student to be independent and improve their collaborative learning.
Through technology, it can connect people even they are at both ends of the world and can
exchange ideas and still learn from each other. Using of technology in education, the students
can enhance and achieve greater understanding and can be the way to develop their critical
thinking skills. In the study of (Chowdhry S., Sieler K., Alwis L, 2014), using virtual learning
environment type of learning indicated the ways to provide and lessen online access to the
study materials, handouts, and modules. Online activities will improve students learning and
using visual aid will catch the attention of the students to focus on studying.

The study of (Mohammed T. Al – Hariri PHB, 2017) and (Chowdhry S., Sieler K., Alwis L,
2014), had similarities because their studies focus that making use of technology based teaching
helps the teachers to teach the students in modern way of teaching because they are using

5
technology devices. It makes the students studying very easy and enjoyable because using
technology in education will give them entertainment while learning.

On the other hand, (Mohammed T. Al – Hariri PHB, 2017) included that through the use of
technology, people can interact to other people by using technology devices invented. They can
still exchange ideas and information without hustle because in today’s generation, most people
have access to the technology world so that they can basically exchange conversations only by
using technology devices. Students will easily collect new information when they use technology
devices invented in the right way.

In accordance with (Magwa Simufurosa, 2013), stated that technology can facilitate
deep exploration and interrogation of information, high level of thinking and profound
engagement. Technology helps us to expand our mind, to enhance our learning and to use our
imagination by allowing the students to design, explore, and experiment or access information.
In the study entitled, “The Impact of Modern Technology in Education.” (R. Raja, P.C
Nagasubramani, 2018), stated that technology helps students in many ways. Through the use of
technology, it increases the learning and interactivity of a student. Also, the transfer of
knowledge becomes very easy and convenience. He also stated that the students become more
interested to learn through the use of technology, when it comes to visual images in terms of
discussion.

The Study of (Magwa Simufurosa, 2013) and.” (R. Raja, P.C Nagasubramani, 2018),
stated that technology helps us enhance our skills in learning and expand our learning capacity.
Using technology in studying can use our imagination by allowing the students to experiment
and create new things in using gadgets invented. Through the use of technology, it increases the
learning and interactivity of a student. Also, the transfer of knowledge becomes very easy and
convenient. Through the use of these technology, it improves the interaction and interest levels
of a students and its motivation. Technology usage may help students to be their ways in an
academic achievement in school. But, it also indicated that the over used at technology may
affect the students focus on their academic tasks and negatively affects their performance in
school. This studies focus on the benefits of technology to the students and it says that using
technology devices helps students in many ways but using technologies must be limited.

6
 On the other hand, the journal entitled “The Impact of technology on student
achievement” (2002) It stated that through the use of technology students can master their
fundamental skills like reading, writing and others that will provide foundation for their future
learning. They become responsible user to express themselves more clearly and understand
fully and through the use of technology for them to be motivated to higher levels of
achievement. This study indicates that using of technology, students can master their skills like
writing, reading, and critical thinking that will be their foundation to student’s future learning.

This journal has similarities with the study of (Magwa Simufurosa, 2013) and (R. Raja,
P.C Nagasubramani, 2018) because their studies focuses on the use and benefits of technology
to the students and to teachers. Their studies include that technology can enhance the students
learning capacity, it can improve their critical thinking and can use student’s imagination to
create new things that can be their starters to future learning.

Foreign Studies

The study of Andrea K-Olsen (2016), it stated that through the use of technology, it
helps students learning in their skills such as reading, writing, and comprehension to be
improve. Using technology in studying help students to understand and translate some
unfamiliar words that they encounter. They can also expand their knowledge by searching new
words and phrases that they can use in their future leanings. In the study of (Jumoke S., S.A.
Oloruntoba O., 2015), it stated the use of technology may affect the society in the free access,
security, safety and coordination of school activities but it becomes a part of culture of a
person’s everyday life. The students free access to technology may have bad sides because
some of the students uses technology devices too much and its must be one of the reason that
can affect his/her academic performance in school.

The study of Andrea K-Olsen (2016), focus on the benefits and used of technology. Using
technology devices in studying will help the students to enhance and improve their skills in
learning. They can use technology in searching the meaning of an unfamiliar words and phrases

7
that they newly encounter and it can be a way to expand their knowledge by encountering new
words and phrases that they can use in the future.

On the other hand, the study of (Jumoke S., S.A. Oloruntoba O., 2015), it focuses on the
effect of too much access in technologies. The students will may affect their academic
performance in school and too much used of technology devices can also affect their social life
because some students focus on playing games and watching videos rather than doing their
assignments at home. Having free access to other technology devices, most students became
irresponsible because they are too much attached in technology. Using technology in studying
must be limited so that the students will focus on their studies first before playing.

Contemporary Educational Technology (2016), indicated that technology allows the

most difficult task to become seamlessly easy and more efficient. Through this it can
disseminate knowledge easily so that the student can learn more. It can be more easy to
improve their knowledge and can be the way for the student to achieve more in terms of
academic.

The journal entitled, Contemporary Educational Technology (2016), focused on the

students learning. It tells that technology makes people lives’ easier and more efficient. Through
the use of technology distribute and share information’s and ideas to others that they can use in
their studies. Using technology devices, students will improve their knowledge and
understanding and it can be the way to achieve their academic goals.

Local Studies

In the study of (Tamayo D, Dela Cruz G. 2014) it explains that the use of technology can
have its positive and negative impact on a student in their academic performance. It clearly
stated that some parents do not allow their children to be exposed in technology because it
lessen the focus on their academic performance but is for others it can be the way for them to
gain new knowledge and understanding to be creative and expand their learning. The study of
(Monscrate C, 2018) the use of technology in ways of teaching of a teacher can help the
effectiveness to improve the academic performance of a students. It stated that if teachers are

8
willing to adjust for students to change their old way of teaching. The academic performance of
students depends on how teacher’s way of teaching even if teachers will not be fully satisfied
that computers are indeed essential to a student learning process.

The study of Tamayo D, Dela Cruz G. (2014) it focuses on the use of technology and
indicated the positive and negative impact of technology on the students that will may affect
their academic performance in school. It said that the students parent must not exposed their
children to use technology devices too much, they must have limited the time of their children
when they are using technology gadgets. If it is for their academic purposes, parents must keep
an eye to their children until it finishes they researches and assignments because they might not
do their task and just surf the internet.

On the other hand, the study of (Monscrate C, 2018) it stated that technology ways of
teaching will help the effectiveness of the teachers to teach their students and to help the
students to improve their academic performances. Technology based teaching is not easy but
the teacher must exert more effort and enhance their willingness in teaching. The old way of
teaching makes students be bored in class and sleepy but using technology based in some
aspects of teaching, makes the students be more active and concentrated. The student’s
performance will depend on how the teacher use technology in teaching and how technology is
efficient in using as a learning tool in studying.

In the study of (Liwanag K. 2015) focuses on the use of information and communication
technology utilization in teaching from its influence on a student academic performance. She
stated that the use of ICT can be a big help for collaborative learning for easy transition of
knowledge and information. Also it can be a good help to students to access and communicate
to everyone faster.

In accordance to Liwanag K. 2015, the study focuses on how ICT will be a big help for the
students on their collaborative learning and transition of ideas, and knowledge. ICT can be a
helping hand of the students to access and communicate to everyone easier and faster. It also
stated on the use of technology in terms sharing information and communication technology
that can influence students in their academic performance. Communicating without any hustle
will be beneficial to everyone.

Conceptual Framework

Technology plays a big role in the world and help so many people. Technology make your
works easier and less time consuming. Students is one of the beneficial of technologies because
it can be used to help them in studying. It makes the students more knowledgeable and by the
use of technology devices invented. Using technology based education, it makes the student be
more focused and interested in studying. It catches their attention and at the same time they
are enjoying while learning. Technology makes people connect to their families and friends
anytime and it is easy and convenient because of the technology gadgets like smart phones and
computers. Technology also helps in the medical field because of the machines invented to cure
sick people and examine patients very easy. The doctors treat many lives of people because of
the hospital machines they created. Technology is created to help and lessen the works of
people but when using technology, the user must be responsible and use technology only when
needed.

Demographic profiles serve as a dependent variables of the study. In addition to get

information to the students, the demographic profiles that can help the variables to make a
stand of what are the impacts of technology of the Senior High School students in their
academic performance. The profiles are classified in age, gender, and educational attainment.

Presentation, Interpretation, and Analysis of Data

The pie graph and table will display the overall presentation of results gathered from the
Senior High School Students of St. Rose Catholic School in Grade 11 St. Thomas Aquinas Science
Technology Engineering and Mathematics strand, St. Louis Bertrand of Accountancy and
Business Management and Grade 12 St. Jordan of Technical Vocational and Livelihood strand.
The three Senior High School strands will have covered the three sections of 50 participants. The
data are organized and will be computed by the researcher. The answers are being tallied and
total through the use of table graph. Each one of the table has different presentation of data.
The researcher will present three categories below that will divided by the impact of technology
in communication, entertainment and in education to their academic performances at school.
The pie graph form will show the students are being divided through their answers. The pie
graph will show the percentage of students answered strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree,
and strongly disagree on the questionnaire being made by the researcher.

The interpretation of the results must be made after the presentation of the data. The
interpretation of the results will have presented on how many senior high school students
answered the following questioned of being strongly agreed, agreed, neutral, disagreed, and
strongly disagreed. The tables that the researcher will present are polished and carefully studied
to maintain the actual results from their participants. The researcher had interpreted the total
number of the respondents who answers strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, and strongly
disagree. The analysis of data being gathered from the Senior High School Students of Grade 11
and Grade 12 are into it or in favor in a certain situations and some other students are not into it
or not in favor to the question. The study seeks to understand the impact of technology to the
academic performances of senior high school students in terms of education, entertainment,
and communication.

The researcher done the survey through the use of questionnaires that answered the
following 10 questions about the impact of technology in terms of communication,

13
entertainment, and education by the 50 senior high school students in the academic year 2019-
2020. The researcher who made the questionnaires asked the participants if the questions is
easy for them to understand and easy to answer or difficult for them to get it. Below this are the
discussion of the presentation of the results gathered, analysis, and interpretation of the data.
The discussion seeks to answer the three statement of the problem which are the demographic
profile of SHS Grade 11 and 12 students, to determine what are the impacts of technology in
terms of communication, entertainment, and education. The students who responded to the
survey papers are proven that they are affected to the impacts of technology in their academic
performances at school.
