INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

The young of today are growing up in an era where technology is always available to

them. The expanding field of students are more interested in social media platforms

and websites. Moreover, in today’s world, mobile devices, desktops, tablets, free Wi-Fi,

gaming consoles, and electronic toys are all the rage. Pupils are being raised in a

period where technology is a trendy trend in business. Every day, says Klopfer, et al.

(2009), Numerous kids are wasting numerous hours on popular platforms like

Facebook, MySpace, Sim City, World of Warcraft, etc. Students' lives are heavily

reliant on technology. Technology integration in the classroom has proven to be

beneficial. Although advantageous, there are some disadvantages. Technology has

increased student willingness and engagement while also allowing to improve learning

"The need for construction and engagement," write Fisher et al. (2014) means that the

best types of learning will be those in which the student has choices and learning

where meaningful contexts exist in which the student is engaged. Technology and

academic performance are two of the most important aspects of a typical student's life.

Several factors contribute to whether they receive first class, second class, third class,

or distinction. This study seeks to determine the extent to which technology influences

students' academic performance. There is a strong need to incorporate various

beneficial aspects of technology into classroom teachings. Instead of outright

condemning student technology use, educational systems and academics should try to

12
encourage it. Make it a part of the educational curriculum. The longer academicians try

to stick to the age-old teaching method from a constrained boundary of class and

books, the more we deprive students of the necessary skill sets required to bring about

change and leadership.

This study should be useful to legislators, school administrators, and educators

because most of our schools are turning to technology to aid and assist in classroom

learning. Such a valuable addition to any school or classroom. Teachers can truly

differentiate and tailor instruction to meet the needs of their students thanks to the use

of technology. With the new Common Core State Standards being implemented and

the new appraisal process being fully embraced by the state of Illinois, technology and

being technologically literate is such an important skill for educators, but more

importantly, students. High stakes testing and accountability have plagued school

districts around the country since No Child Left Behind was implemented.

Administrators and school officials have attempted a variety of technology integration

into curricula is one of the solutions to increase student engagement and academic

success in the classroom.

Scope and Delimitation

The scope of our study is to find on how technologically skilled of grade 11 ICT

students affects their academic performances in Sto. Domingo Integrated Highschool

(SDIHS). The main purpose of our study is to point out the relationship between the

technology skills of grade 11 ICT students and their academic performance. We aim to

determine whether it’s hard or easy for them to accomplish their school activities. The

13
study only focuses on technologically skilled and its relations to the academic

performance of the selected students.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the skills in technology of grade 11 ICT students and its

relationship with their academic performances.

Specifically, the study sought to find answers to the following:

1. What is the respondents’ level of skill in technology?

2. What is the academic performance of the respondents?

3. Is there a significant relationship between technologically skilled and academic

performance?

4. What action plan can be proposed to improve the skill in technology and

academic performance of grade 11 ICT students?

Hypothesis

There is a significant relationship between technologically skilled and academic

performance of grade 11 ICT students.

It is found that the total variance of academic success of student’s levels explained by

student’s feedback is relatively a high percentage. This result indicates that student’s

feedback about the academic performance influence strongly the technology skills of

students.

Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

14
Dweck, C. S. (1999) stated that students believe that their ability or skills is fixed,

probably at birth, and there is very little if anything they can do to improve it is called

fixed IQ theorists. They believe ability comes from talent rather than from the slow

development of skills through learning. Either you can do it with a little effort, or you will

never be able to do it, so you might as well give up in the face of difficulty. E.g., “I can’t

do technology related activities”. And untapped potential theorists, students believe

that ability and success are due to learning, and learning requires time and effort. In

the case of difficulty, one must try harder, try another approach, or seek help etc.

The theory of academic performance (ToP) emanates from Elger (2007), and the

author described ‘perform’ as an ability to produce a valued result and ‘performer’ as

an individual or a group that engages in collaboration while the level of performance as

the location in an academic journey.g

Operational framework

Based on the Theoretical/Conceptual Framework the researcher developed an

operational model which served as guide in conducting the study.

Significance of the study

The significant of the study is to determine and investigate if there is a significant

relationship between technologically skilled and academic performance of grade 11 ICT

students. The researcher believes that the results of the study would be beneficial to the

following:

School Administrators. Through the result, the school administrator could provide

effective program that meet the needs of the students today.

Teachers. The result of the study will serve as a key to be able to get additional

information and knowledge about the technologically students. Through this study they

can guide the students who wants to learn more about the technology.

Parents. The parents of the students may benefit in this study by letting the students

improve their skills in technology. Parents will lessen their worries about the academic

performance of grade 11 ICT students.

16
Students. Students is the most beneficiary in this study. Students will acquire

knowledge and information that may enhance their technology skills and academic

performance. Help the students to be guided and aware that their technology skills has

an impact with their academic performance.

Future Researchers. The future researcher will gain and discover knowledge involving

possible ways to improve the technology skills and academic performance of students.

Definition of Terms

Technology is the application of knowledge to reach practical goals in a specifiable and

reproducible way. The word technology may also mean the product of such an

endeavor. The use of technology is widely prevalent in medicine, science, industry,

communication, transportation, and daily life.

Academic Performance is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has

attained their short or long-term educational goals. Completion of educational

benchmarks such as secondary school diplomas and bachelor's degrees represent

academic achievement.

Skills is the learned ability to act with determined results with good execution often

within a given amount of time, energy, or both. Skills can often be divided into domain-

general and domain-specific skills.

Ability the quality or state of being able; competence in doing something; defined as

the knowledge, experience, and skill that an individual or group brings to a particular

task or activity.

17
Untapped Potential it is the potential that isn’t used or discovered yet by a person.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

The researchers discuss the study's dissemination in this chapter, presenting

publications, journals, and relevant readings. This chapter will also explain what is

covered in the Technologically Skilled And Academic Performance Of The Student

section and impart new information to the readers. The review that follows outlines,

analyzes, and clarifies the literature. It provides a foundation for the study and aids in

defining its scope.

TECHNOLOGICALLY SKILLED

According to Chuchan A. Monserate , the Philippines has Asia's most active

Facebook users. following Indonesia and India. Currently, there are about 30,214,120
users, or 30.24 percent of the population. population. The website furthermore provides

using the internet. One such example is Facebook, which has evolved into a social
gathering place online. collectively each day.

Based on the study of Saray Ramírez Sofía Gana, Soledad Garcés, Teresa Zúñiga, Ricardo
Araya and Jorge Gaete , Every day, more people are using new technology, such as cellphones,
tablets, videogame consoles, and Internet access, in greater numbers and at younger ages (1). With
increased use comes increased worry about the negative effects of technology use and how it affects
young people's emotional and cognitive growth (1). For instance, a UK study found that children and
young adolescents aged 5 to 15 used the internet more often, going from 9 hours per week in 2007 to
15 hours per week in 2016. (2). Additionally, a recent study in the United States discovered that
youngsters under the age of 12 were highly engaged with digital devices, and 71% of the parents
expressed at least some level of concern about this.

According to Emma Cullen, The use of technology in teaching and learning is referred to
as technology enhanced learning (TEL). Although it is a broad category with few specific definitions,
it is completely altering education and educational institutions. As a result, it cannot be disregarded!
Let's examine TEL to see why it matters for educators. Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) –
what is it? Any technology that improves the learning process is known as technology enhanced
learning. Both analog and digital technologies can be referred to by the word, but more recently, we
have witnessed the rise of digital TEL in education through the use of various forms of instructional
software. Beyond any recognition, TEL is improving and revolutionizing education and educational
institutions.

According to Ward, L. A., The debate over whether or not classrooms should
utilize a 1:1 technology strategy has centered on the role of technology in education. In
a classroom context, technology is often used on a daily basis in some way, but schools
have been experimenting with the 1:1 technology approach over time.

19
This prompts interested parties to wonder whether 1:1 technology in educational
systems benefits the pupils. This study of the literature examines a number of aspects
of 1:1 technology in the classroom. The investigation will first examine the various
perspectives held by students and teachers. The discussion will then turn to student
involvement in the classroom. Finally, it will look at how well students perform
academically while using a 1:1 technology approach.

  Based on the study of Suresh, Manya; Vishnu Priya, V.; Gayathri, R.,
Technology enhancement learning is a technique that adds technology knowledge and
takes learning to a deeper level. Numerous studies have shed light on the growth of
technology and its impact on the educational sector. This integrative review's objective
is to investigate the most recent data regarding how technology learning affects
academic achievement and student learning in courses that call for group projects or
other collaborative activities. The writers used a variety of learning approaches to scan
internet databases for pertinent publications. 24 articles fit the criteria for the paper,
which was gathered from (2011-2017). Technology enhanced learning, evaluation
methods, and faculty knowledge of academic achievement in universities with
technology utilization are three topics of strategies employed for student learning
outcomes. The study's conclusions demonstrate the connection between what was
accomplished and the variables that the authors used. Additionally, the usage of
technology at various stages of the in the future.learning process will be increased

Based on the study of José-Antonio García-Martínez, Eduardo-José Fuentes-

Abeledo, Eduardo-Rafael Rodríguez-Machado ,The Information and communication
technologies (ICT) are increasingly being employed in both formal and informal learning
environments as a component of the teaching process. As they will soon be a part of
society's productive sector, it is crucial to comprehend how university students feel
about using ICT in this context. The purpose of this study was to examine the opinions
of students who were pursuing different degrees in their last years at a university in
Costa Rica. With 1187 pupils

20
, we used a non-experimental transactional design and probabilistic sampling. We
measured attitudes using a questionnaire with Likert-type scales that was divided into
sections for affective, cognitive, and behavioral factors. The outcomes demonstrated
generally positive attitudes, greater scores in the cognitive and behavioral components,
and moderate scores in.

Technology enhancement learning is a process that leads to deep point of

learning and adds knowledge of technologies. Various studies shed light on technology
development and its effect in educational sector. The aim of this integrative review is to
examine the current evidence of the impact of technology learning on student learning
and academic performance in courses requiring collaborative or activities. The authors
searched electronic databases for relevant articles, with different learning techniques.
24 articles met the requirement of paper, it’s collected from (2011-2017). Three themes
of techniques used for student learning outcomes, includes technology enhanced
learning, assessment method and faculty experience on academic performance in
universities with technology use. The final results of this paper show the relationship
between what has been done and the factors used by the authors. Also the future work
needs more use of technologies in different phases of learning process.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

According to Robbin ghosh Together, we are advancing through the greatest

revolution in human history. Its effects can be felt on a local, regional, national, and
even an infinite scale. Yes, the effects of technology are to blame. It is important to
completely reconsider what we understand by education, learning, teaching, and
schooling in this new networked age.

21
Since the printing press was created more than 500 years ago, education has changed
significantly, and learning is now a lifetime process. Already two billion kids spend four-
fifths of their working hours outside school, in an iPod, YouTube, Google, Wikipedia,
etc. It's Personal: A place where learning materials and information can be customized.
Additionally, you can use millions of people to share your skills and talents for both
pleasure and achievement.

To ascertain whether multitasking has an impact on academic performance,

several researchers have investigated the consequences of using technology while
involved in academic activities. For the purposes of this study, we will use Junco and
Cotten's (2012) definition of multitasking, which is as follows: "divided attention and non-
sequential task switching for ill-defined tasks as they are performed in learning
situations." (Pp. 505-506) We chose this definition because it was based on the
extensive cognitive psychology literature on attention to task that Chun, Golomb, and
Turk-Browne (2012) reviewed (2011). Successful multitasking, according to many
researchers, is not possible because of the way human brains are wired (Marois and
Ivanoff, 2005; Monsell, 2003; Ophir et al., 2009). The studies covered in the following
paragraphs have all found that humans cannot effectively multitask.

According to Saenz, Reynaldo, The study's goal was to examine the idea that
eighth-grade students' academic success is related to their ability to use technology
effectively. The study was limited to eighth graders and was conducted in a rural school
district in South Texas. Correlational research was used in the study. The investigation
was influenced by constructivist learning theory. The scores on the technology skills
scale were broken down into six categories: 1) creativity and innovation; 2)
communication and collaboration; 3) research and information fluency; 4) critical
thinking, problem solving, and decision making; 5) digital citizenship; and 6) technology
operations and concepts. The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness
(STAAR) used scores from the reading (3), mathematics (5), science (4), and social
studies (4) components to measure academic achievement. based on what's available.

22
Based on the study of Al-ghadri, Abdulhadi Mohammad Ahmad, The process of
providing knowledge and skills that enable individuals, communities, and societies to
develop is known as education. Academic performance is used as a proxy for
education, allowing both individuals and governments to assess a person's level of
achievement. The environment and the background of the pupils are just two of the
numerous factors that have an impact on academic success. This investigation was
made in order to better understand the influences on students' academic performance.
To address the research objectives and test the research hypothesis, descriptive and
quantitative methodologies were used in the study. Through questionnaires and
mimeograph, data was gathered. According to the data gathered, there are
discrepancies and correlations between students' academic achievement before
entering the university and university.

According to Arto Helas (july2018) A course's or program's capacity to

anticipate student success offers chances to enhance educational results. Instructors
can more correctly manage resources and training with the help of effective
performance prediction tools. The goal of this research is to find algorithms that can
improve forecasts, attributes that can be utilized to create predictions, and ways to
quantify student achievement. Research on student performance prediction also looks
for related qualities and the underlying causes of why some traits are more effective
than others. In this working group report, work on predicting student performance has
been thoroughly reviewed in the literature. Our study reveals both a clearly rising level
of research in this field and a rising level of approach diversity. The same time

Based on the Study of Valentin Kassarnig, Enys Mones, Sune Lehmann

Identifying the factors that influence academic performance is an essential part of
educational research. The importance of personality traits, class attendance, and social
network structure have been documented before. Most of the analyses were based on a
single behavioral aspect and/or small sample sizes, so there is currently no way to
quantify the interplay of these factors.

23
We studied the academic performance of a group of undergraduate students who
formed a single, densely connected social network. The students used their primary
phones for two years to collect data.

The availability of multi-channel data from a single population allows us to compare the
explanatory power of individual and social characteristics. The most informative
indicators of performance are based on social ties and network indicators result in better
model performance than individual characteristics. The most important predictor of
individual characteristics is class attendance. Our results show the presence of peer
effects among university students.

Based on the Study of Evans Austin Brew, Benjamin Nketiah, Richard

Koranteng Every educational system considers the academic performance of students
at the Senior High School to be paramount. Many problems persist despite the fact that
numerous factors influence the academic performance of students. A literature review in
this area will give the gaps and areas that need more research and will help curb the
situation. The current paper uses a narrative review method to review the literature on
the academic performance of students at Senior High Schools. The paper showed how
these factors affect academic performance and the need for them to be minimized to
improve students' academic performance. Truancy affects academic performance
greatly and sometimes leads to school dropout, according to the study. The study found
that other factors such as students parental levels of education and income, textbooks
availability and accessibility, libraries, practical laboratory, meals provision and teachers
have tremendous effects on the academic performance of students at school Students
who are above average in school are more likely to be exposed to these factors.

Based on the study of Suresh, Manya; Vishnu Priya, V.; Gayathri, R.

(September 2018,) For many students, college has altered because of e-learning. Tech-
savvy members of the Net generation are using online classrooms and other forms of
online learning instead of sitting through college courses and taking notes. Materials

24
and Methods: A questionnaire was created and given to a variety of undergraduate
students, and the results were evaluated. Results: According to the results, e-learning
has a positive impact on undergraduate students' academic performance. Conclusion:

In general, traditional learning is expensive, takes a lot of time, and has variable
outcomes. An alternative that is quicker, less expensive, and possibly better is provided
through e-learning. E-learning must be put into practice and easily accessible to
everyone.

Based on the study of Luis Miguel Benítez Díaz,M.ª Luisa Sevillano

García,Esteban Vázquez Cano, The main interest of this study was to evaluate the
degree of association that the use of ICT could have to school performance in
mathematics, within a limited geographical area. Thanks to the International Student
Assessment Program, the information was gathered (PISA). Participating were 1376
pupils from the Canary Islands. A mixed research approach was applied, in which a
linear hierarchical model (HLM) analysis was used to evaluate the features of students
and schools in order to acquire the best approximation to the phenomena. The
outcomes showed improvements in academic achievement brought about by the
efficient use of ICT. It was demonstrated that, barring inappropriate use, ICT can
improve learning.

Based on Education and Information Technologies , Due to the COVID-19

situation, almost all universities worldwide switched to an e-learning format, which
introduced new variables that now affect academic performance. Despite this, there are
few studies that show a connection between students' technological skill level and their
academic performance. The current study aims to fill this knowledge gap. The
Academic Engagement Scale, the Trustworthiness Factors survey, and the academic
performance scores were used for the evaluation. A total of 351 students, mostly female
(57%) and between the ages of 19 and 21 (M = 19.57, SD = 0.59), were included in the
sample.The amount of students' psychological security, their academic engagement,

25
and their performance during the e-learning process were assessed using online
surveys,

and the relationships between these variables were examined. Female students who
were subjected to the analysis displayed higher levels of psychological security,
particularly while communicating their own thoughts in webinar rooms. The same
pattern might be seen in students' levels of performance and involvement in school.

The results of the linear regression analysis method showed a positive correlation
between psychological security and academic success. In contrast to past studies,
student safety is more closely associated with psychological issues than only personal
data security. It was able to draw the conclusion that the online learning environment
makes the impact of psychological security on students' involvement and academic
achievement particularly evident.

According to Yu, Liang; Chen, Shijian; the structural links between academic
achievement/performance in blended learning, self-regulated learning, teachers'
dependability, and ICT literacy were examined. Participants filled out a 41-item
questionnaire in total anonymity that looked at their self-regulated learning, judgments
of the legitimacy of their teachers, ICT literacy, academic performance, and
demographic background. Path analyses showed that, with the exception of
competence, there was a substantial correlation between the subscales of teacher
credibility (caring and trustworthiness) and academic success. Additionally, ICT literacy
and caring both strongly predicted trustworthiness and self-regulated learning,
respectively. Self-regulated learning is favorably correlated with academic achievement,
compassion, and dependability. The results also showed that compassion and
trustworthiness were mediators of the effect of self-regulated learning on academic
achievement. Implications for practice or policy: (1) By raising students' perceptions of
their teachers, college instructors can improve students' academic performance.The
results also showed that the effect of self-regulated learning on academic performance
was moderated by both compassion and dependability. Implications for practice or
policy include the following: (1) College teachers can improve students' academic

26
performance by increasing students' perceptions of their caring and trustworthiness; (2)
College teachers may need to provide more opportunities for students to self-regulate
their learning;

(3) College teachers can express care towards their students to improve individual
relationships as well as have a positive impact on the climate in the classroom and
subsequently win the students' trust; and (4) College governors may need to consider
implementing the recommendations of the study.

Based on the study of Amponsah, Kwaku Darko; Aboagye, Godwin Kwame; Narh-Kert,
Millicent; Commey-Mintah, Priscilla; Boateng, Fred Kofi, investigated how junior high
school (JHS) students used the internet and how that affected their academic
performance. Through random sampling, information from students was gathered using
a questionnaire, and it was then examined using descriptive statistics and an
independent samples t-test. The findings showed that SHS students have access to the
internet through school ICT labs, mobile devices, family internet facilities, and
commercial internet cafés. Additionally, having internet connection has an impact on
kids' academic standards because those with it have showed a greater improvement in
their grades than those without. The results, on the other hand, showed that different
internet use has no effect on academic achievement.As a result, it was advised that the
Heads of Institutions coordinate with other stakeholders to provide managerial
assistance for internet facilities. It was also suggested that the School ICT Laboratories
be well-equipped with internet facilities to help student study and that students be taught
how to utilize search engines to look up academic content online. This is crucial since
having access to the internet at school is crucial for improving academic performance.

According to Asio, John Mark R. (2020), there are many difficulties and barriers
abound in the academic setting. Students encourage some unusual study methods
using this concept. Procrastination in academic work is one of them. In this study,
information and communication technology (ICT) students from a teacher training

27
institution were examined in connection to their academic procrastination and academic
performance. For this study, the researcher employed a descriptive-correlational
research approach. During the academic year of 2018–2019, 90 students participated in
the survey using a convenience sample methodology.

The survey utilized in this study was an adjusted instrument for data collection.
Additionally, SPSS 20 was used in the study to evaluate the data. The findings indicated
that the respondents put off their academic work. Professional education courses
received the lowest rating score for academic performance, while major topics received
the highest.

Additionally, there were notable statistical disparities according to the respondents'

program, scholarship level, and religion. The study also found a weak indirect
