1.6 Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

This research is based on the constructivism theory of Jhon Dewey that emphasized that
the learners working within their mind individually to build their mind own knowledge, which
explains that the knowledge is not transmitted to them in a way or another. The most significant
change that constructivism theory adopts is the integration of technology in the education setting.
In fact, research has proven the effectiveness of using constructivism theory on the integration of
technology in education. Indeed, constructivism principles theory. From these constructivism
methods, the learners work on constructing and build their own knowledge using mobile phones.
In this study, the research is expected to identify the effects of using mobile phones on the
academic performance of the students. The theory then explained how mobile phones really
affect the academic performance of the students and prior knowledge about using mobile phones,
the learners work on their own knowledge.
Moreover, this study discovered that the use of mobile phones is uncontrollable among
students which is the leading cause of poor academic performance among students [International
Journal of Emerging Technology and Advanced Engineering 2015].
