THE PROBLEM

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the course of life of all people worldwide.

The well-being of an individual is challenged immensely due to adaptation needed to be

done to control the said situation. Most people find ways to adjust the new normal

lifestyle, but some of them perceive the situation that has negative impact. One of the

affected members of the society is students due to academic changes and methods to

adapt to the “new normal” in terms of education

The continuing community transmission of the virus in Metro Manila and other

communities across the country and the risk of an even more dangerous resurgence

demand that the resumption of certain aspects of the county’s economic and social life

be governed by standards and protocols that would simultaneously protect the

vulnerable from the disease and prevent transmission from asymptomatic or untested

carries of the virus, while ensuring the restoration of livelihood opportunities and

sources of income for all.

Indeed, a “new normal” is dawning upon the world and our country.

We live in a challenging world, where the role of educational institutions is being

transformed. The available technologies allow new conditions to access learning;

however, as they evolve very fast, sometimes it is challenging to track this evolution
regarding the changes that entail to all of us, which may contribute to a digital divine if

it is not well addressed. This chapter intends to presents the impact and responses of

new normal education among criminology intern students in Naga College Foundation.

For that, it presents the universal design for learning and its crucial role to make

inclusive virtual learning environments. Like every modality that exists, there are some

challenges that need to be addressed, as well some benefits that allow seeing the

potential of this modality learning,

This refers to a modality where learning takes place between the teacher and the

learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction.

It is assumed that pandemic of this scale happens in waves and is cyclical.

Furthermore, WHO has recently pointed out that the Covid-19 may never be eradicated;

people will have to live with it. As a response to such an event, countries now plan to

introduce an element of distance learning even in normal education. This will help

facilitate “coping” once the crisis hits and minimize negative impacts. The approaches

may include adjustments to the academic calendar, prioritizing students in grades

preparing for high-stakes examinations, and continuing with distance learning in parallel

to school. Educational administrators and policymakers can use this crisis as an

opportunity to introduce new learning modes that can each everyone, to prepare for

emergencies, and to make the system more resilient.

The recent pandemic created an opportunity for the schools, universities and

decision makers to develop human resources ICT infrastructures in school. It is clear

that the approaches need to be changed and IT education (curriculum) has to be

introduced at all levels of school education. As it is not certain how long this pandemic

will continue (and whether we will have to face another pandemic in a near future)a

gradual incorporation of online virtual education is the demand of time

Technology and human life cannot be separated; society has a cyclical co-

dependence on technology. We use technology; depend on technology in our daily

life and our needs and demands for technology keep on rising. Humans use technology

to travel, to communicate, to learn, to do business and to live in comfort. However,

technology has also caused us concerns. Its poor application has resulted in the

pollution of the environment and it has also caused a serious threat to our lives and

society. This calls for the proper use of technology. The biggest challenge facing people

is to determine the type of future we need to have and then create relevant

technologies which will simplify the way we do things (Ramey, K. November 12, 2012).

Learners who become addicted to gaming, texting or social media may try to do

this in class, which may disrupt their learning and lead to disciplinary action. At home, it

may interfere with their study time. The negative effects of electronic gadgets on health

are well-documented. Persistent use of gadgets encourages a sedentary lifestyle and

may lead to poor posture and weight gain. In extreme cases, this may cause obesity,

neck and back issues and wrist and hand pain. (Gillespie, C. August 23, 2018).
 Many researches were conducted aimed to organize understanding the change

that took place by using these technologies, and to explore the conversion in children’s

behavior and did focus to discover what extent children feel aggression, and how they

react by using these modern technologies e.g. video games, mobile phones with various

applications embedded using via Internet with Wi-Fi connections video games consoles

and internet. Children’s use of modern technologies and it impacts on change in their

behaviour with the result of aggression after using various modern technologies.

(Mierlo, V. et al. 2004).

Carpo, M. (2016) concluded “Internet Usage and Academic Performance”

technological advancements influence how people live today. People keep on exploring

things, looking for some solutions just to lessen the efforts that people need to

accomplish their tasks. The Internet is an undeniable example for this shocking, yet

pleasant evolution of science. The special thing that people know about the Internet is

that it does not only support people in their works but also lessens the time spent in

accomplishing certain tasks. The digital revolution is changing everything it touches,

and the field of education is no exception.

Statement of the Problem:

METHODS OF RESEARCH AND SOURCES OF DATA

This chapter presents the research design and population of the study, data gathering

procedure, tools and instruments, and the statistical treatment for the data gathered.

Research Design

The way data were gathered and analyzes shows that the study is descriptive research.

Specifically correlational research design was used since it intended to determine the significant

relationship between the Gadget Usage and Learning of CSS Learners.

Research Locale

The research will take place at Tarlac National High School San Miguel Campus. The

school originated from Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga until it was then transferred to

Camp Aquino, San Miguel as AFPSEM High School (Armed Forces of the Philippines School

for Enlisted Men) in 1961the campus is a reservation area of camp Servillano Aquino

NOLCOM. It is located at the foot of the Camp along Mc Arthur Highway and is now known as

Tarlac National High School San Miguel Campus with the current school head Dr. Jocelyn D.

Pili
 This is the locale chosen to facilitate collection of data since the researchers and

respondents are both enrolled in the same institution.

Respondents of the Study

A total of grade 11 and 12were qualified to participate in the present study. Among those

753 enrolled, 256 were chosen.

The study used the random sampling to select sample from the population of Tarlac

National High School – San Miguel Campus. Random sampling is one the simplest forms of

collecting data from the total population. Under random sampling, each member of the subset

carries an equal opportunity of being chosen as a part of the sampling process (India Times,

2017).

Research Instrument

This study would be adapting a survey-questionnaire to identify the significant

relationship between Gadgets Usage and Learning of CSS Learners, the study used a researcher-

made questionnaire to gather needed data. The questionnaire consists of 20 items in total.

Validity and Reliability of Research Instrument

In order to ensure the validity of the instrument for data collection, the researchers

presented the questionnaire to the project supervisor for careful scrutiny and advice.

Statistical Treatment

In order to analyze the data to be gathered statistical, the following will be used:
 Frequency counts. It is the most straight-forward approach to work with quantitative

data. Items are classified according to a particular scheme and an arithmetical count is made of

the number of items within the text which belong to each classification in the scheme

(https;//www2.sal.tohoku.ac.jp). This treatment will be used to identify the common responses of

the respondents.

Percentage. A number of rate that is expressed as a certain number of parts of something

divided into 100 parts (https;//www.merriam-webster.com). In addition, it also describes how

many parts there are out of one hundred parts of a particular thing (https;//www.staff.ru.edu.au).

Frequency counts will be converted to percentage of the responses to the set of specification.

Mean. It is the average of the numbers and it is the calculated “central” value of a set of

numbers (https.//www.mathsisfun.com). It will be used on the study to get the average of the

responses from the study.

Median. is the middle value when the data is arranged in numerical order. It is another

effective tool to compare different sets of data, however, the negative impact of extreme values

is lesser on median compared to mean.

Mode. is the value that appears the most. A given set of data can contain more than one

mode, or it can contain no mode at all. Extreme values have no impact on mode in data

comparisons, however, the effectiveness of mode in data comparisons are compromised in the

presence of more than one mode.

Standard Deviation. A standard deviation is a statistic that measures the dispersion of a

data set relative to its mean and is calculated as the square root of the variance

(https://www.inrestopedia.com). This study will be using standard deviation to identify how

dispersed are the responses from the data-gathering.
