“The Effect of Mobile Phone Usage towards the Behavior of Grade 12 TVL

Students’’

Introduction

Having a cell phone will tempt your teen to spend all day talking or texting,

instead of doing anything productive. Studies have proven that teens who spend too

much of their time with their cell phones are more prone to stress and fatigue. It can

also lead to psychological disorders in some cases.

As cell phone technology continues its rapid development, the device appears

capable of contributing to student learning and improved academic performance. There

rapid increase in cell phones has influenced multiple aspects of our daily lives,

particularly those of Students. Results depict that gender; age and relationship with

opposite sex have a significant positive effect on students' academic performance.

However, marital status, spending time on a mobile phone, negative effect of mobile

phone and application usage while studying has a negative effect on students'

academic performance. Cell phones are undeniably convenient, helpful tools for study

and can be a hurtful source of distraction depending on the attitude and use pattern of a

student. Mobile phone designers must take into account how young people use cell

phones for educational purposes. Rapid increase in cell phones has influenced multiple

aspects of our daily lives, particularly those of students. (Hossain,2019).

Researchers have discovered that the use of mobile phone in schools is

problematic. As Ling and Helmerson (2000) states, the mobile phone is “at cross
purpose with the mission of the school”. While in school students are supposed to take

on their prescribed roles as students with full concentration on their studies and free

from contact with the outside world. However, the mobile phone gives room to blending

students’ roles with other roles thus distracting and disrupting the students’ academic

work. In the past when fixed telephones were the norm in schools, there were minimum

distractions and disruptions but presently with the invasion of mobile phone and the

eagerness of parents to maintain contact with their wards, the device is becoming part

of the classroom Thus, the mobile phone has the power to undermine the schools’

authority and weaken their control over students as well as affects their level of

academic performances. Mobile phone has gained immeasurable ground in the lives of

students all over the world.

Mobile phone is a common sight today in our schools as you see students going

to school/class with some of the most expensive and sophisticated mobile phones,

tablets and iPod’s that has all the applications, facilities and software that can connect

them to the internet and all forms of social media platforms, other web sites where they

chat, access, stream, download, upload, exchange and play different kinds of media

contents, which most often, are pornographic in nature (Owombo, 2012).

Along with their books and school supplies, most high school and college

students and many younger students -- make their daily trip to school with their trusty

smartphone. Mobile phones connect students to one another, to educational resources,

and to a potential host of distractions.

Technology makes the fight against a student cheating more challenging. No

longer do students have to rely on in-person networks or copying off of someone else's
paper to cheat. Instead, they can easily text answers to their friends or sneak a peek at

their laptop during tests. A host of sites that allow students to pay for access to papers

has sprung up, and the ready availability of sites with useful information makes

plagiarism more tempting. Discipline Problems Managing a classroom is never easy,

but technology makes classroom management more challenging.

A 2013 article in "Faculty Focus" emphasized that professors have to institute

novel strategies and policies to avoid technology-related discipline issues in the

classroom. Changes in Research Classroom technologies make it much easier for

students to access online journals, to solicit help on message boards and to send

emails to classmates seeking help. But the Pew Research Center reported in 2012 that

technology is also changing the way students’ research, and may be lowering the

overall quality of research as well as the effort it requires. Teachers told the Pew

Research Center that many college students believe that research consists solely of

searching online.
 Theoretical / conceptual Framework

Effect to a student
Cellphone behavior

As cellphone technology continues its rapid development, the device appears

capable of contributing to student learning and improved academic performance. The

recent rapid increase in cell phones has influenced multiple aspects of our daily lives,

particularly those of Students. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to determine the

influence of the mobile phone usage on TVL performance among male and female

students of GCCNHS.

Results depict that gender; age and relationship with opposite sex have a

significant positive effect on mobile phone usage towards the behavior of students.

However, marital status, spending time on a mobile phone, negative effect of mobile

phone and application usage while studying has a negative effect on students'

academic performance. Cell phones are undeniably convenient, helpful tools for study

and can be a hurtful source of distraction depending on the attitude and use pattern of a

student. The author, however, suggests that mobile phone designers must take into

account how young people use cell phones for educational purposes.
 CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Cellphone is likely to be on hand while college students are in class and

studying, research investigating its relationship to academic performance is limited. In

an early study of the phenomenon, Sánchez-Martinez and Otero (2009) used a

combination of self-reported monthly cell phone expenses and frequency of use data to

identify intensive cell phone users in a large sample of Spanish high school students. In

the study, intensive cell phone use was related to school failure as well as other

negative behaviors such as smoking and excessive alcohol use. More recent studies

operationalize cell phone use as calling and texting while utilizing a variety of measures

for academic performance. For example, Jacobsen and Forste (2011) identified a

negative relationship between calling, texting, and self-reported grade point average

(GPA) among university students in the United States. (Hong, 2012).

Calling and texting were positively correlated with a self-reported measure of

academic difficulty among a sample of female, Taiwanese university students. While

phone use and academic performance, they neither use objective measures of

academic performance nor do they take into account the cell phone’s expanding

capabilities beyond calling and texting. Modern cell phones enable users to access a

variety of electronic and media

As cell phone technology continues its rapid development, the device appears

capable of contributing to student learning and improved academic performance. The

recent rapid increase in cell phones has influenced multiple aspects of our daily lives,

particularly those student ( R Javed ,2019).

The use of smartphone is gradually becoming a compelling learning tool used to

enhance teaching and learning in distance education. Its usage ensures flexible course

delivery, makes it possible for learners to access online learning platforms, access

course resources. Smart phones and other mobile digital devices, such as tablets, can

be surprisingly useful didactic resources for developing subjects in both distance and

tool in the distance (M Meyiah,2016).

Technology all over the world. Technology is main key indicator of development of

today’s world. The effect of mobile phone on daily activities of a human being is affected

the whole society and even the whole country. The bad effect of mobile phone is so

much serious not only on the way but also on the home. Human behavior is radically

changed while user used mobile phone for their emotional moment (Dragutinovi, 2014).

in society and it has a strong effect on human behavior and human psychology

(Chatterjee, 2014).

Mobile phone has some health hazards which can even cause cancer(Sanchez,

2006). Physical and psychosocial exposure that can have effects on human health by

the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in which include mobile phone

and computer (Thomée, 2012).Mobile telephony has brought new possibilities all over

the world even in Africa it brought a revolutionary change (Aker , 2010).

A study by the National Institutes of Health in the US suggests that mobile

phones could have an effect on the brain. They reported higher sugar use in the brain, a

sign of increased activity, after 50 minutes on the phone (Roxas, 2011).
