CHAPTER 4

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

Access to technology and its efficiency for grade 11 students in Sumulong Memorial High School

The emerging themes, categories, and patterns for these participants are presented

which reflects the chapter organization.

4.1 Participants

These are the findings gathered from the respondents. There were ten participants, composed

of 40% males and 60% females. The participants are enrolled in different strands such as

Tourism Management, Arts, HE, Humss, and Stem, they are all in grade 11. The age range of the

participants is 16-17. Each participant had an individual open-ended question.

4.2 Data Analysis Strategy

Data analysis summarizes the collected

data. It involves the interpretation of data

gathered through the use of analytical and

logical reasoning to determine patterns, relationships, or trends. Data analysis is the process of

cleaning, changing, and processing raw data, and extracting actionable, relevant information.

Analysing qualitative data entails reading a large amount of transcripts looking for similarities or

differences, and subsequently finding themes and developing categories. (LP Wong n. d).

 This research shows the access and efficiency of technology in Grade 11 students at

Sumulong Memorial High School. This chapter described the efficiency of technology for all grade 11

students wherein technology has paved the way for students to access their online classes during this

pandemic. Being a grade 11 student there's a lot of challenges that they are experiencing. Most of them

agree that technology is important and effective for their online class. The hierarchical coding frame

describes the process of all the participant's experiences during their online class and how technology

helps them. We can see there that participants say having a good and not enough to use gadgets and

because of that they are having difficulty accessing their synchronous class because not all the students

can afford to buy gadgets needed for an online class. Furthermore, a slow internet connection is also

their problem which can make it difficult for participants to follow with their teacher's discussion. But

the good thing about technology is that it provides information that students want to know easily.

Moreover, Wi-Fi and Laptops or any gadgets that students have is important because, with the use of it

students can improve their learning experienced due to the flexibility of the technology wherein

participant can access different forms of learning materials other than the modules provided by the

school or teachers, students can also watch lectures Videos on YouTube to gain supplementary ideas

regarding with their topic. On the other hand, a laptop is a much better gadget to use for the online

class according to all participants since it has a widescreen and its flexibility can help the students to

have better academic performances. However, if there is a good thing in using technology therefore

there is also a bad thing about which is the adverse health effect of nonstop usage of it. Participants also

say that it may bring bad eyesight and a headache for them. But despite that participants should know

and have time management upon using their gadgets so that they could eliminate these adverse effects.

Lastly, technology has efficient and more effective for all grade 11 students today for this kind of online
learning because it helps them a lot like now they do not have to leave their house just to learn and

continue their study.
