to find out if there is a correlation between the researched. In this section, a handful of literature
related to this study is reviewed.

Modern Technology in Academic Performance
Nemati and Matlabi (2017) IA is particularly
linked to poor academic performance in
adolescents. Students with IA experience more
academic failure than their peers, according to
empirical research. According to a study, social
media use has a significant impact on how well
medical students perform academically.
(Alnjadat et al., 2019). According to another
analysis, students' performance in chemistry was
significantly predicted by cognitive abilities but
not by psychomotor abilities or everyday
applications. (Ramnarain and Ramaila, 2018).
According to structural equation modeling,
compassion partially mediates the connection
between mindfulness and engagement and, as a
result, improves academic performance.
(Miralles-Armenteros et al., 2021) Unser (2017)
stated that the use of technological devices,
programs, and aids in the classroom should
improve students’ assessment performance, level
of engagement, and academic success. However,
these results depend directly on the self-efficacy,
and continuous training of classroom teachers.
When teachers are properly trained, and that
training is conducted continuously, students do,
in fact, benefit from the use of video technology
in the classroom, making class content more
motivating and engaging. Cong Qi (2019) has
written a study on 208 university students that
examines the relationship between technology
and the academic performance of students.
Results corroborated that students’ academic
usage of mobile devices does not lead to
technostress; however, it helps in enhancing
academic performance. American University
(2022) can assist teachers in enhancing student
performance, a goal that they have.
Administrators should assist instructors in
acquiring the skills necessary to improve student
learning through technology to lessen the
difficulties. The use of technology in the
classroom should also facilitate teachers' tasks
without adding to their daily workload.
Downloading online books can make it simpler
to find what you're looking for because some
physical books are not accessible in the
Philippines, which makes gathering information
a little more difficult. Social media is really a
major help to students in increasing their
academic performance. The use of modern
technology in the classroom can increase student
productivity and attention, but teachers should
still be assisting students even though
technology is present in the classroom. Books
are very expensive in the Philippines, that’s why
students are more likely to surf the internet.
Modern Technology in Students Social Skills
D'Angelo ( 2018) Students must keep up with
current digital trends while still gaining a
thorough understanding of course material as the
educational system and workforce change to
become more technologically literate. By
incorporating technology into the curriculum,
instructors have a priceless chance to improve
student engagement and academic achievement.
Students can work together with peers on digital
platforms, explore creativity through
technological features, engage in higher-order
thinking strategies, take part in inquiry-based
learning, and create an online social presence.
While incorporating technology into the
curriculum changes the learning environment to
be more student-centered, instructors still play a
crucial role in helping students understand,
providing support, and taking the necessary
precautions to make sure they are present and
achieving their learning objectives. Overall, both
students and teachers are supportive of the use
of technology in the classroom and believe it has
a positive impact on students satisfaction,
engagement, and academic success Siago et al.
(2019) Technology has the potential to
significantly alter how people learn. It can aid in
strengthening and advancing relationships
between teachers and students, reimagining
methods for learning and teamwork, closing
long-standing equity and accessibility gaps, and
customizing educational experiences to suit the
needs of all students. Schools, community
colleges, and universities ought to serve as hubs
for research and creation. Teachers should
constantly seek out new information and pick up
new skills to learn alongside their students. The
data collected showed that teachers used a
variety of technologies, including laptops,
lapels, speakers, projectors, desktops, printers,
and others, in their classes. These innovations
had a positive impact on students' academic
performance. Their interest and involvement in
discussions, activities, and project creation also
increased as a result. Technology is an essential
teaching tool. Every teacher needs to be
proficient in using and managing various
technologies in the classroom. However, if it's
possible, schools should buy and install these
technologies in every room. There should be
instructional videos and other digital media
available. According to Vordos et al. (2020),
social media is a type of communication that
allows teachers and students to connect via
online learning tools while maintaining social
distance standards. In other words, social media
is a subset of computer-mediated technology that
disseminates ideas, raises people's social
awareness, creates career interests, facilitates
knowledge sharing and social networking, and
fosters the formation of virtual communities
(Abbas et al., 2019). Enos (2021) Effective
collaboration and communication are the first
main benefits of technology in education. They
facilitate peer communication and aid instructors
in involving students. There is no longer a need
to wait for hours for an answer to a question
about the classroom because modern apps allow
us to send instant messages. Second, students
have more opportunities to receive academic
assistance thanks to new software and
technological advancements. There are
numerous websites that offer reasonable
academic support in all fields. Because I knew
they could write my essay for me for a
reasonable price when I was a student, I hired
professionals from custom writing companies.
Third, a personalized approach, which allows for
the customization of study schedules for each
student. It offers countless chances to design
lessons based on student interests, strengths, and
weaknesses. According to various learning
preferences, instructors can arrange the
information in a specific way. They can present
information in text or audio formats depending
on the learning needs of the students. Fourth,
increased productivity. Students can use
technology to increase their productivity.
Numerous productivity apps can help with
concentration and distraction-free studying. The
availability of resources is the final benefit of
modern technology. Online access to any kind of
resource is one of its biggest advantages. You
can easily find any kind of information you
might require in academic settings online. You
can research topics in a variety of subjects, from
Economics to medicine, thanks to the abundance
of data on the internet from various disciplines.
Today's students can read scientific articles in
online journals, check some statistics, and
analyze the most recent studies. The local library
is no longer necessary because information has
already been converted to digital form and is
available on your smartphone. Never before has
studying been so simple. Social media is a great
tool for students, it may improve their social
skills and increase their collaboration, but not all
students can have this positive effect. Some
students get really addicted to social media and
might decrease their academic performances and
not be able to attain their good grades.
Modern Technology in Student Psychological
Development
According to recent research, IA may also
disrupt students' psychological learning
processes and interfere with their motivation and
academic values. (Reed and Reay, 2015; Truzoli
et al., 2020). For instance, it has been discovered
that problematic Internet use has a negative
impact on academic motivation, learning
efficiency, and psychosocial status, all of which
have an adverse effect on academic
performance. (Truzoli et al., 2020). Ramrez et al.
(2021) Every day, more people are using new
technologies, such as smartphones, tablets, video
game consoles, and Internet access, in greater
numbers and at younger ages. With increased
use comes increased worry about the negative
effects of technology use and how it affects
young people's emotional and cognitive growth.
The evidence regarding how technology use
affects children's and adolescents' development
is still up for debate. On the other hand, negative
effects of technology use have been linked.
According to a recent systematic review, using
technology can have negative psychological
effects. A longitudinal study of teenagers found
that life satisfaction decreased with increased
time spent on technological devices. The use of
screens has also been linked to decreased
cognitive and academic performance, including
issues with learning, attention, language,
memory, and visuospatial processing. Poor
connectivity on the internet can cause students to
feel distressed because it can lead to failing
grades . Too much technology on teenagers can
have a decreased cognitive problem, you may
have a difficult time to critically think and make
you less attentive.
Modern Technology Assisting Students on
Academic Activities
Style & Style (2021) Technology has an
impact on everything we do, with education
being one of the most heavily affected fields. We
have observed numerous advantages, and it is
good for students who use it properly. We can
still be amazed at how far the education sector
has come, despite the negative effects. This
essay does not aim to argue against or restrict
students' access to technology in the classroom.
It is meant to make you more aware of how
disastrous an over-reliance on technology can
be. There is a distinction between asking for
assistance and lying. Many students search for
people who can assist them in cheating and
completing their assignments rather than seeking
out academic support. Few students are aware of
this error. By achieving your educational goals,
you can build the necessary corporate world
skills. Many students who do not perform well
on tasks end up being poor employees. Consider
a situation where doctors graduated by fraud. As
a learner, assume responsibility and act morally.
Seek assistance to comprehend your assignment
and complete it on your own, as opposed to
cheating. The fact that everything students
require is readily available does not enable them
to make better use of their work. They lose their
ability to think creatively and come up with
original ideas as a result. It's enjoyable to spend
time on social media catching up with friends.
Due to this, many students now spend their free
time using technology. They don't study during
that time; instead, they play games, watch
movies, or chat. They take these actions because
they are aware that a simple text like "write my
essay" will attract thousands of writing
businesses eager to complete the task on their
behalf. Technology-handling skills, curriculum
integration, technology integration into
educational activities, providing evaluative
feedback, encouraging collaborative exercises
with technology, and positively responding to
the inclusion of technology in the classroom are
a few examples of professional competencies
that educators believe should be covered in
training. (Guzman & Nussbaum, 2019). Too
much dependence on technology can be bad.
Students that depend on technology too much
lead to academic dishonesty. Some students
don't exert any effort to learn due to
dependency; they will still get high scores in just
a few clicks of their fingers.
Modern Technology in Classes
Bay Atlantic University et al. (2022) For the
longest time, traditional face-to-face instruction
has been an effective way to learn and teach. Up
until the CoVid-19 pandemic, which prevented
everyone from attending the conventional
in-person classes, it had produced observable
and satisfying results and wasn't questioned. So
how does technology impact students' learning?
First, technology is used in modern education. In
the modern world, technology has permeated
every aspect of our lives, including the field of
education. It is a tool that facilitates the speedy
and effective completion of challenging tasks.
But it's important to remember that while
technology can be an aid in education, it can't
resolve issues on its own. The effectiveness of
educational technology depends on how teachers
use it to best serve their students' needs. Digital
learning tools used effectively in the classroom
can increase student engagement, help teachers
develop better lesson plans, and promote
personalized learning. It also aids in the growth
of critical thinking abilities in students. Second,
there are advantages to using contemporary
technology in education. We all use technology
in some capacity throughout the course of our
daily lives. It has grown in importance over
time, changing how we receive and interpret
information in our lives. Every aspect of our
lives has been impacted by technology, but in
recent years, the impact on education has been
the most obvious. In an effort to keep up with
the latest technological developments and better
prepare students for the rapidly evolving world
of technology, schools are introducing more and
more technology into the classroom. Third,
putting students' knowledge to use. Putting
students' knowledge and skills to use is one of
the biggest advantages of using technology in
education. Through online classes, conversations
with teachers, and interactions with other
students, students gain useful knowledge.
However, it is crucial to put these new abilities
into practice. Through a variety of applications,
technology enables students to put their newly
acquired knowledge into practice. The use of
technology in the classroom makes it easier for
teachers to give students a variety of tasks and
assignments that let them use what they have
learned and experienced to solve problems and
create solutions to situations. Fourth, technology
can help students develop their critical thinking
skills. This depends on a number of factors,
including the type of technology used and the
context in which it is used. It is a well-known
fact that using technology in the classroom can
make the learning process and activities more
interesting. Technology can appeal to multiple
senses and increase students' interest in the
subject matter. The use of the right technology in
the classroom improves student academic
performance, self-confidence, classroom
motivation, and attendance. Technology helps
students make the transition from passively
listening and paying attention to more active
learning. Fifth, greater collaboration.
Educational technology can promote
collaboration. During lessons, teachers can talk
to students, but they can also interact with one
another. Through interactive educational games
and online classes, students work together to
solve problems. Through group projects,
students can encourage one another while
exchanging ideas. Technology also makes it
possible for students to speak with teachers
directly. Students can get more help with the
challenging subject matter and ask questions
about the classroom environment. Homework
can be uploaded by students, and teachers can
access and view it on their devices.
Implementing instructional technology has been
shown in numerous studies to increase overall
student motivation and engagement in learning.
Technology specifically engages students
cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally.
Better communication is the sixth benefit of
technology, which students can use to interact
with people in their classrooms and around the
globe. Students are prepared for almost any
career by learning how to collaborate on projects
using digital tools. Global student collaboration
encourages cultural learning and teaches
students how to work with others who are
different from them. When used wisely, the
internet can offer a great sense of community
and support, even though occasionally it can be
an unpleasant place filled with hate. Students of
all ages can benefit from classroom websites.
They frequently help students connect with one
another and give them a place to work together
on group projects. They assist students by giving
them a sense of community and belonging.
Lastly, students and teachers have created useful
and accessible teaching and learning
environments with the aid of technology. An
extremely significant technological impact on
education is the rise in class participation and
interactivity. The effects of technology on
student learning also include improved overall
comprehension, practical learning, time
management, and a combination of learning
methodologies. The right amount of technology
can really help students excel in their classes. It
can aid students' collaboration and confidence.
Modern Technology in Student Learning
Teachers believe that, when given the proper
instruction in professional digital competences,
they may employ technological learning. he
classroom to improve students' learning. Various
factors, such as the kind of technology utilized
and the context in which it is used, will have an
effect on technology's ability to affect students'
critical thinking abilities. It is a well-known
truth that using technology in the classroom may
make the learning process and activities more
interesting. Technology can appeal to numerous
senses and boost students' interest in the subject
matter. (Kirkscey, 2018).
Synthesis
Students with IA experience have more
academic failure according to empirical research
and social media has a significant impact on
how the medical student performs academically
according to AInjadat et al., 2019. Based on
Ramnarain and Ramaila, 2018 students'
performance in chemistry was significantly
predicted by cognitive abilities. Structural
equation improves academic performance
written by Miralles-Armentros et al., 2021. The
use of technological devices should improve
students' assessment performance. However it
depends on the teacher. When teachers are
properly trained it does in fact benefit the use of
video technology in the classroom stated by
Unser 2017. According to Cong Qi 2019
relationship between technology and academic
performance of students it does not lead to
technostress however it helps enhance academic
performance. The use of technology in the
classroom improves students' learning and can
make the student increase productivity and
attention. Having technology in the classroom
can help because books are expensive and the
students tend to surf more on the internet rather
than having a physical book based on American
University 2022.
According to the aforementioned findings,
there is both a good and adverse correlation
between modern technology and students
academic performance. Technology has made
incredible strides in recent years, and this has
increased its popularity and effect on our daily
lives. In every way, it has made life easier and
easier. Information that has been updated and
developed is easily accessible in every subject,
including education. Education and teaching
have benefited significantly from technology.
There are more recent methods of teaching with
technology that help students. Technology can
help you study more effectively and develop
your strengths. With so much information and
assistance available online, no student is a
stranger to searching for their respective fields
and becoming proficient in them. With ongoing
technological advancements, the more students
use it, the better they will be able to handle the
technicalities that they will face in their practical
lives after their studies. The most beneficial
impact of technology on students is that it allows
them to learn more efficiently. Students can
manage their work from anywhere due to the
ease with which everyone can now carry cell
phones, laptops, and iPads thanks to modern
technology. While there are numerous
advantages to technology, one cannot ignore its
drawbacks. Students may become lazy thinkers
as a result of the plethora of knowledge that is so
easily accessible online. When everything is
instantly at your fingertips, finding the
motivation to really study and learn can seem
like a tedious process. Additionally, it makes
people more lazy because they won't use their
imagination to make their work stand out when
they know they can finish their essays at the last
minute by simply searching them up online.
Another drawback of technology is that it is
quite addictive. As a result, rather than working
in groups to study and brainstorm, students
choose to remain alone and do their own work.
Even though many students will use technology
to their advantage, it is also incredibly simple to
become distracted while using it. Online, there
are a ton of inappropriate and unsuitable
activities that could draw pupils. Students who
use technology excessively can become familiar
with such items and have easy access to them.
Distractions of this nature hinder pupils'
academic progress and pose a moral hazard. The
use of technology must be strictly limited by
parents, teachers, and other adults. Online video
games and movies/videos are also incredibly
accessible, which may serve as additional
sources of distraction for students. (Global
Owls, 2022)
Statement of the Problem
This research aims to answer the question, "Is
there a correlation between the use of modern
technology and academic performance among
senior high students at Adamson University?" It
is specifically aimed at responding to the
following questions:
1. What is the frequency of the
respondents’ usage of existing modern
technology?
 2. What is the Academic Performance of
the respondents in terms of?
A. Written activities
B. Class participation
C. Productivity and work completion
3. Is there a significant relationship
between the frequency of usage of
technology and the level of academic
performance of Grade 12 STEM Science
students?
Alternative Hypothesis
There is a significant relationship between
modern technology and the academic
performance of Grade 12 STEM Science
students at Adamson University.
Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework of this study
is shown in the diagram above. The diagram
above will show the process of this research. It
includes the base, which is existing modern
technology, and the other variable, which is the
academic performance of Grade 12 STEM
Science students at Adamson University. The
researcher will be distributing surveys in order
to collect the answers given by the participants.
The survey question involves the results of their
written exam and activities, their practical exams
and activities, as well as their productivity and
work completion. All of the participants'
answers will have a huge impact on the final
data. After the data collection, the researcher
will be able to use statistical analysis in order to
finalize the data from this research.
Theoretical Framework
This study relies on two main theories that
connect the two variables in the study, which are
the existing modern technology and the
academic performance of Grade 12 STEM
Science students currently enrolled at Adamson
University. The first theory is Social
Constructivism Learning Theory, introduced by
Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky. This theory
gives dyads and small groupings a lot of
attention. Social constructivism contends that
effective teaching and learning depend heavily
on interpersonal interaction and discussion, with
the main emphasis on the students'
understanding of the discussion. For example,
students learn primarily through interactions
with their peers, teachers, and parents, whereas
teachers stimulate and facilitate conversation by
utilizing the natural flow of conversation in the
classroom. The ZPD outlines the tasks that
students may complete independently and those
that they require instructor assistance to
complete. According to the ZPD, pupils are able
to comprehend and master knowledge and
abilities that they would not be able to do on
their own without the aid of a teacher. (Schreiber
& Valle, 2013). Once the students have mastered
a particular talent, they can carry it out on their
own. According to this notion, rather than acting
as a passive figure, the instructor actively
contributes to the pupils' knowledge gain. (Chen,
2012; Schreiber & Valle, 2013). Social
constructivism, sometimes known as the
"sociology of knowledge," is the theoretical
framework we use to comprehend knowledge. It
defines knowledge as the systems of ideas or
mental constructs that humans employ to make
sense of the world's happenings and actions.
Empiricism, a philosophy of knowledge that
holds that the world is largely as we perceive it
to be, is in stark contrast to this approach to
knowledge. According to social constructivism,
knowledge is created as a means of
understanding the world, and these means of
understanding are only a portion of all possible
methods. This sounds like a really logical
approach, albeit one that is a little more difficult,
when we take into account the broad variety of
worldviews. A shaman can read natural
occurrences as portents or signs thanks to his
understanding of the spirit world. Our ability to
judge behavior as right or wrong, unlawful,
unethical, or fair depends on our moral
expertise. A programmer who is familiar with
invoice processing can create letters of reminder
on demand. Social constructivism does not make
a determination regarding the reality of "spirits,"
"right and wrong," or even "invoices." Whether
Pathan tribesmen or Wall Street financiers,
people within social groupings construct this
reality over time primarily in speech and through
social rituals, which are ways of bridging the
gaps between the particular consciousnesses of
various people. The tangible manifestation of a
group's collaborative, long-lasting solutions to
its ongoing issues is shared language, artifacts,
and symbolic behavior. These approaches
continue to be used by groups as interpretive
structures that are constantly articulated,
enacted, and hence recreated in social behavior
processes.
Scope and delimitation
This study aims to provide in-depth
information about the correlation between
modern technology and the academic
performances of senior high school students at
Adamson University, STEM science students in
particular. Also, the study focuses on the
relationship between modern technology and
students' academic performance. In order to
improve their performance, modernization plays
a huge role. The more their technologies are
used, the higher the possibility that it will have a
positive or negative effect on their academic
performance. This research can be shared and
answered online through links. Thus, more
students will have an easier and more productive
way of doing their academic work. The
researchers will conduct a survey through
Google Forms with 140 STEM science students
at Adamson University as respondents.
Significance of the Study

Methodology
Research Design
This quantitative study was conducted to
discover the impact of modern technology on
various STEM students at Adamson University
based on their productivity/academic
performance. Therefore, this study aims to
provide crucial information and knowledge
regarding the relationship between the academic
performance levels of Grade 12 STEM Science
students at Adamson University and modern
technology. The researchers are going to conduct
quantitative research to measure the relationship
between the variables. Quantitative research is
the process of gathering and interpreting
numerical data. It can be used to identify trends
and averages, formulate hypotheses, examine
causality, and extrapolate findings to larger
populations (Bhandari, 2022). This study
employs a correlational research design to
further understand the essence and the
relationship between modern technology and the
academic performance of Grade 12 STEM
Science students. According to Chiang et al.
(2015), a nonexperimental research method
known as correlational analysis measures two
variables and evaluates the statistical
relationship (also known as the correlation)
between them with little to no effort to control
unrelated variables. The nature of the study is
quantitative since it is a process of collecting
and analyzing numerical data. The researchers
utilize a correlational research design since they
are investigating the relationship between
variables, which are modern technology and
academic performance.
Sampling Technique
The researchers will be using simple random
sampling techniques in order to collect study
participants. The simple random sampling
technique is a population subset that has been
randomly chosen. Each person in the population
has an exact equal probability of being chosen
using this sampling technique. Of all the
probability sampling techniques, this one is the
easiest to understand because it only requires
one random selection and little prior population
knowledge. Any research conducted with this
sample should have high internal and external
validity and be less likely to be biased by factors
like sampling bias and selection bias because
randomization is used. (Thomas, 2022)
Since this study, the simple random sampling
technique is suitable for the research. So the
researchers can gain a meaningful and in-depth
understanding of technology and academic
performance among Grade 12 STEM Science
students at Adamson University, they will
contribute the basic information required for this
research.
Research Instrument
The researchers are going to use a survey
questionnaire as an instrument to collect data. A
questionnaire is a type of research tool used to
gather data from respondents and consists of a
series of questions or other prompts (Bhat,
2023). The researchers are going to measure the
usage of modern technology and academic
performance by using the two instruments that
they’ve made, which are (1) Influence of
Modern Technology in Terms of Exposure
(IMTE), (2) Influence of Academic Performance
Scale (IAPS). Survey forms will be conducted
on a fairly rating scale, which allows the
respondents to accurately answer the questions.
The survey questions will revolve around the
statement of the problem. Considering that this
research is quantitative and requires scalar data
gathering, the researchers are going to conduct
surveys. As a result, the survey will be
conducted online by giving a link to the target
respondents. The researchers will carefully
construct questions to achieve the research
objectives. The survey forms that will be given
by the researchers will determine the correlation
between the use of modern technology and
academic performance among senior high school
students at Adamson University.
The Influence of Modern Technology in
Terms of Exposure (IMTE) and the Influence of

Table 1 shows the overall mean score of
all the respondents in their usage of existing
modern technology. Existing modern technology
consists of gadgets that the respondents use in
their academics. The majority of respondents
believe that technology helps them efficiently
communicate outside the school premises, and
increases their productivity in academics. Most
of the respondents' average answer is 4.

Cronbach's alpha, we first need to find the total
score by summing up the points each respondent
answered in each question. After getting the
total score, we counted the total number of test
items in our research study and calculated each
column's variance to get the sum of the item
variances, and then we calculated the variance of
total scores. After gathering all of this
information, we used Cronbach's alpha formula
to assess the reliability of our test items. We
divided the number of our components by itself
minus one times one minus the sum of the item
variances divided by our total score variance.
This is how we got the results of our research
study.

Discussion
Summary
The ongoing study focuses on the
relationship between modern technology and
academic performance of STEM science
students of adamson university. The purpose of
this study is to determine the outcome of each
student's academic performance with the
involvement of modern technologies in
improving their school activities and works.
The study circulates around 3 main
questions: (1) What is the frequency of the
respondents’ usage of existing modern
technology? (2) Is there a significant
relationship between the frequency of usage of
technology and the level of academic
performance of Grade 12 STEM Science
students? (3) What is the Academic Performance
of the respondents in terms of? (3.1) written
activities, (3.2) class participation, (3.3)
productivity and work completion.
Findings
The following responses were reached
based on the information the researchers
collected:
1. The mean of STEM-Science
students’ survey score of all the
respondents in their usage of
existing modern technology.
However, it can be used as a basis
for identifying areas where
respondents may need further
assistance or training in using
modern technology. It can also help
institutions develop strategies to
improve the integration of
technology in academic settings.
1.1 As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the total
mean of the respondents’ scores in the
survey is 4, while the total mean score
of all the respondents in their usage of
existing modern technology consists of
gadgets that the respondents use in their
academics. We computed the total
number of mean results in the most
answers which are efficiently
communicated outside the school
premises.
1.2 As shown in Table 3, The weighted
mean of the respondent’s level of
frequency of usage of technology and
the level of academic performance of
Grade 12 STEM Science students is
3.46. The statement in the survey with
the lowest average score is "I am having
a hard time studying using physical
books" which has a score of 2.4 that a
significant number of respondents may
prefer using digital resources for
studying, or may be experiencing
difficulties with physical books due to
factors such as accessibility or
convenience.
2. The total weighted mean rating of
the Likert for survey in the
academic performance of Grade 12
Stem Science students is 3.46, and
including the easy way to
communicate with others by using
modern technology. This indicates
that the Grade 12 Stem Science
students have a moderately positive
perception of their academic
performance, and they recognize the
importance of modern technology in
communication.
Conclusion
Based on the data collected, the
researchers have concluded the following:
1. The majority of the respondents believe
that technology helps them to
communicate outside the school
premises efficiently.
1.1 Most respondents indicated that
modern technology helps them increase
their academic performance.
1.2 Most of the respondents' average
answer for the question “What is the
frequency of the respondents’ usage of
existing modern technology?” is 4
which indicates always.
2. The researchers used Cronbach's alpha
in order to check the reliability of the
researchers' study.
2.1 Cronbach's alpha formula was used
to assess the reliability of the test items
of the study. The researchers divided the
 number of components by itself minus 3. Parents should always permit their

3. There is a significant relationship
between the frequency of usage of
technology and the level of academic

students at Adamson University.
3.1 Most of the respondents answered
that they can easily communicate with
others, by the use of modern technology.
3.2 The researchers obtained a weighted
average of 3.78 which indicates a “very
high” in verbal interpretation for the
weighted mean.
Recommendation
The following suggestions have been
made by the researchers based on the research's
summary of findings and conclusions:

1. In order for students to effectively

utilize modern technology for both
academic and recreational purposes,
they must be aware of how to strike a
balance between the two.

2. In order to assist the kids study while

having fun, educators should be aware
of and permit their pupils to continue
using contemporary technology for
activities on websites like Quizizz and
Kahoot. Additionally, it will benefit
their overall academic performance and
knowledge acquisition.
