METHODOLOGY
Research Design

This study will use the descriptive-correlation research design. It is

descriptive because it will use descriptive statistics in presenting the variables of

the study such as frequency of mobile usage and impact of mobile usage on the

academic performance. Correlation research design will be used in determining

the relationship between frequency at which mobile phones are used and

academic performance in terms of General Weighted Average of the

respondents.

Locale of the Study

This study will be located at the St. Luke's Institute Incorporated, Kabacan,

Cotabato.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of this study are the selected 100 senior high school

students of the St. Luke's Institute Incorporated during the Academic Year 2023-

answers of the respondents as part of study.

Statistical Analysis

In this study, the researchers will use descriptive-correlational statistics.it

is descriptive because will be used to summarize the phone usage pattern with in

the sample including measures such as mean,mediam,mode, and standard

deviation it correlational analysis will them be conducted to examine the

relationship between phone usage variables. This analysis will determine if a

significant correlation exists between phone usage and age,gender, educational

level,or socioeconomic status
