CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Technology and advancement are two different things. According to IGI Global

(n.d.), technology is the development, application, and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts,

systems, or organizational methods to solve a problem or serve some purpose or end.

Whereas advancement according to Encyclopædia Britannica (n.d.), is the act of moving

forward in position or progress. To put these two together, technological advancement is the

generation or discovery of knowledge that advances the understanding of science or

technology (Sred, 2022). Education has been evolving ever since technology stepped in.

Students in schools now have the freedom to easily get sources of knowledge and also

connect with their fellow students. With the help of technological advancements, educators

hope to influence pedagogical change and address fundamental problems that affect students

with special needs. Therefore, technology can be viewed as both a tool and a catalyst for

change. Modern technologies are widely used to enhance and facilitate learning (Waddell,

2015).

LITERATURE REVIEW

It is a widely held belief that using technology to aid learning necessitates that

students become tech-savvy in order to function well in society. For this reason, delivering a

top-notch education entails the requirement that teachers successfully utilize educational

tools in their classrooms and instruct their students in using technology. Increasing access to

educational technologies, increasing the use of technology for instructional purposes, and

improving the efficacy of technology use to facilitate learning are the three areas of focus we

have based our overview of technology integration research in this chapter around.

Perhaps the most recent wonder to raise our standard of living is technology. The

most challenging activities may now be made easier and more effective thanks to technology.

Technology has made it possible for information to be shared instantly and for

communication to happen more quickly and effectively in the field of education.

Additionally, because to technology, kids can now learn and engage in ways that were

previously impossible in a traditional classroom. According to Spears (2012), she outlines the

first 1:1 technology program that was used in a collegiate context and cites Donovan,

Hartley, and Strudler (2007). According to Spears (2012), Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow

was the first company to offer teachers and students 1:1 computer access (ACOT). The goal

of ACOT was to help educators change the way they do their work so that it can be more

effective. Spears continues to discuss Microsoft’s 1:1 initiative through the Anytime

Anywhere Learning (AAL) program. Spears (p. 1) cites the work of Donovan et al. There are

many benefits to 1:1 technology integration programs, such as an increase in enthusiasm for

teaching and learning, an improvement in student writing skills, and a rise of authentic and

purposeful use of technology. These programs helped pave the way for presidents,

legislators, administrators, and educators to become more aware of the positive impact that

technology can have on both the student and the teacher in the classroom.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The main objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the GPA

and level of satisfaction of students on using technological advancements in schools. This

study benefits the various sectors as follows:

The Teachers,

The result of this study will give them detailed insights on understanding how the

students react when using technologies in school and how it also affects their academic

performance. This will also serve as widening the narrative on how to handle students that

need special care.

The Parents,

The study would also be beneficial to the parents as they are being educated about

how the satisfactory of their children on using technology in school affects their children’s

academic performance.

To Future Researchers,

This study would benefit the future researchers who may use this as a point to expand

the topic of the level of satisfaction of students on using technological advancements in

school and how it affects their academic performance. They might be able to delve deeper

and drive a conclusion than the current scale of this research.

CHAPTER II

METHODOLOGY

This chapter deals with the research design, respondents, sampling technique,

instruments, data generation, data collection processes, and statistical treatment of data which

shall be utilized in this study.

RESEARCH DESIGN

The researchers used a correlational design since this study seeks to investigate the

GPA and level of satisfaction of students in technological advancement to enhance the

research to become more reliable and valid. Pritha Bhandari (2021) said that a correlational

research design investigates relationships between variables without the researcher

controlling or manipulating any of them. A correlation reflects the strength and/or direction

of the relationship between two or more variables. The researchers use correlational design to

determine the relationship between the two variables which are GPA and the level of

satisfaction of students on using technological advancement in school.

RESPONDENTS

The target respondents of our study are the first-year School of Computing college

students who are currently enrolled at Holy Angel University. The researchers chose to

gather a sample size of 100. The researchers are using the standard confidence level of 95%.
LEVEL OF SATISFACTION ON TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY P

The participants were chosen by the researchers as they are the most qualified and accessible

in this time of the pandemic. Due to face-to-face protocols, the researchers will use the Likert

Scale by Likert (1932) for the level of satisfaction and an item statement for the GPA using

the medium, google forms.

SAMPLING DESIGN

The study used the sampling method known as the Simple Random Sampling design.

The Simple Random Sampling design is used in this study with the reason of giving

respondents in the population sampled a chance of selection with the probability of being

selected as a respondent an equal chance. The data collected will be selected from 1 st year

SOC students inside Holy Angel University in order for the researchers to have a preferable

access for data collection. Due to limited resources due to having pandemic protocols and

limited face-to-face classes, the researchers have used a small amount of population inside

the University and its college population thus, the researchers used Simple Random

Sampling Design as a convenient sampling method.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

The researchers will utilize a Survey rating scale questionnaire via a Google Forms:

the Likert Scale by Likert (1932) that consists items that will determine the level of

satisfaction of a student followed by a single statement regarding the GPA of the 1 st year

SOC students which the researchers have developed. These tests will be given online because
LEVEL OF SATISFACTION ON TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY P

there will be less in-person interaction, making it easier for participants to access and

respond. In order for the study to be trustworthy and valid, the researchers also made sure

that the questions were in line with the statement of the problem.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

To eliminate sampling bias, the sample for this study will be drawn from Holy

Angel University students using a simple random sampling procedure. Participants in this

study will be first-year SOC students of Holy Angel University who will be asked to

complete an online survey, but only 100 will be chosen at random.

To collect data, respondents will be sent a google form survey questionnaire via chat

and email. The survey will include a permission form that will tell participants about the

nature and aim of the study, as well as remind them that their participation is entirely

voluntary and that they can drop out at any moment. The first portion of the survey will ask

students about their voluntary participation, and the second is about their level of satisfaction

with technological advancements in schools, third, the Likert Scale by Likert (1932) and

lastly, their GPA.

The researchers will be sure that the information they obtain is kept private and

securely stored on a device that is only available to them. Data will only be used for

academic purposes and will be properly discarded after use.

DATA ANALYSIS
LEVEL OF SATISFACTION ON TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS
HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY P

With regards to the level of satisfaction questionnaire, the Likert Scale by Likert

(1932), respondents were to choose from each item one of the following options: 1 =

Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly Agree. The score for

each respondent ranged from 30 (Strongly Dissatisfied) to 50 (Dissatisfied) to 80 (Neutral) to

100 (Satisfied) to 120 (Strongly Satisfied).

ETHICAL CONSIDERATION

The researchers will strictly ensure the protection of the research participants that take

in the survey in every way. The research participants take part in the survey voluntarily; there

is no compulsion in the survey. To accomplish this, letters of consent from the researchers

were sent via email prior to the survey, and measures were taken to ensure that the research

participants were fully and clearly informed about the survey. Throughout the data collection

process, the security of the research participants' private information, confidentiality, privacy,

and anonymity are all protected.
