EFFECTS OF USING TECHNOLOGY AS AN

EDUCATIONAL TOOL FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENTS IN MYSTICAL ROSE SCHOOL OF BULACAN
INC. S.Y. 2018 – 2019
 CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS
BACKGROUND
 1.1 INTRODUCTION
• People in Mystical Rose School of Bulacan have different opinions
about the effects of technology like some people are afraid of what
our technology can do even more so from the future.

• “Technology will pave the way for a new era in human history.
Using technology we have the potential to stop aging, enhance our
own bodies, and to ascend the biological limitation of the human
body. It has the potential to change what it means to be human”.

• Students at the turn of the century were already reporting

more reliance on the internet than university libraries.
Consideration on how education is delivered through technology
continues to evolve as students communicate differently than
previous generations. In what students must want from their
schools, students must frequently want to improve their skills in
using technology.
 1.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The result of the following will be of great benefit to the following:
Students : Our study would be a great benefit to students because
this study can help them prove that using technology as an educational
tool could be helpful to their studies, research, assignments, projects,
and many more. This study is also highly beneficial and can contribute
to the vast knowledge of student regarding this matter.

Teachers :It can also benefit the teachers by understanding that

having technology as an educational device is not a bad thing at all it
can also help them to teach much better, much clearer, and much
easier.

Parents : And as for parents, they could benefit from our study by
showing that using technology has good and bad effects to students
and also they would know if using technology as an educational tool
could contribute or not to the learning’s of their children.
 1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The thing that the researchers want to accomplish by

doing this study is to know the different effects of using
technology as an educational tool for senior high school
students of Mystical Rose School of Bulacan Inc. The
researchers also want to know what kind of technologies
will be used if technology will be an educational tool and
the researchers also want to know if the students are in
favor of using technology as an educational tool.
 1.4 SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This study is limited on the effects of educational devices in the
learning performance of Senior high school students of Mystical Rose
School of Bulacan. This is also limited to the objectives of the study
since the researcher only wanted to know the effects of using
technological devices to the learning performance of the senior high
school students.
The students who will answer our questionnaire will be composed
of selected Senior high school students in Mystical Rose School of
Bulacan Inc. The researchers started the research on their second
trimester. It’s on early November and we plan to end it on March
2019. The place of the researchers study will be only on Mystical Rose
School of Bulacan Inc.
 1.5 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The researchers are wandering about the effects of using
technology as an educational tool. Will it be good or bad? , will it be
useful or just a distraction? Will it make teaching easier or will it make
teaching harder? These are just some of the question that the
researchers are wandering about. The senior high school students of
Mystical Rose School of Bulacan Inc. will be answering the following
questions:

• What kinds of technology will be used if technology will be an

educational tool?
• How often does you use Technology?
• Are you in favor of using technology as an educational tool?
• What do you think are the effects of using technology as an
educational tool?

 CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE
2.1 FOREIGN LITERATURE

Technology aids student’s expression. Present what they have learned. They can use
software to make presentations and projects. This makes them more interested in the subject
and leads to better retention of an information. With technological aids they can make easy to
remember notes and a creative presentation of the information they have acquired. It won’t be
wrong to say that application of technology has made a student’s life easy. It’s easier for student
to carry a PDA, than carrying a big fat book too and Due to the rapid expansiveness of
technology and its wide array of uses, the incorporation of technology in learning has become a
viable and inexpensive option. Almost three quarters of Americans, 73% believed that investing
in innovation and advanced technology sciences in education is the key to the country’s long
term success. (Harris Interactive, 2009).
Technology has revolutionized the field of education. The importance of technology in
school cannot be ignored. In fact, with the onset of computers in education, it has become
easier for teachers to impart knowledge and for students to acquire it. The use of technology
has made the process of teaching and learning enjoyable. (Muir-Herzig, 2008).
2.2 FOREIGN STUDIES

In the field of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) , the term “Net Generation” has clearly
defined by Prensky (2010) who states that the net generation members are ”digital natives” since they
“spent their entire lives surrounded by and using computers, video games, digital music player, video cams
, cell phones, and all the other tools of the digital age “ which make them different from the baby boomer
generation.
Those who are eager about the language learning need and necessities of the net generation, the edited
book by Oxford and Oxford (2009), entitled Net Generation is a must read resource. The book
describes empirical studies involving different innovative technologies and state of the art tools, offering
pedagogical ideas, effecting strategies, and useful suggestions on how these technologies could be applied
to enhance language teaching and learning. Also, educational technology usage in practice teaching can
make instructions to be much more interesting and enjoyable. The changing images and use of special
effects, among others can reduce boredom on the part of learners. Furthermore, classroom interaction
can be interactive. Technology can promote student-student interaction, student-teacher interaction, and
teachers-student interaction, if pre-instructional planning incorporates principle such as stimulus
variation, feedback, reinforcement, learner’ participation and so on. (Weiner, 2009).
2.3 LOCAL LITERATURE

Technology also saves teaching time as they require short-time to present large
information. They can be used to reveal needs and stimulate student’s question.
Thus learner’s interest can be aroused, maintained, and stimulated to promote
their imaginative power. On the whole, media ensure the application of
classroom-oriented communication techniques. Therefore, learners should be
assisted, encouraged and motivated not only to learn, but also to continue to
learn. (Demegilio, 2009)
2.4 LOCAL STUDIES

It realized that most of the definition refers to a situation in which the

teacher and learner are separated and instructional materials are conveyed
through telecommunication systems. It can also be elicited that the learner has
the flexibility of adjusting herself/himself to the schedule and physical location of
classes. In this article, “distance education” is the terminology chosen to be used.
(Rosal, 2009)
Online learning is one of the newest terms used frequently and is defined
as a “delivery of learning through the use of information communication
technology via the internet where learners and instructors are physically
separated”. (Chongwony, 2010)
2.5 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PRESENT STUDY

The purpose of this study is to examine the personal

perceptions and concerns of senior high school students
of Mystical Rose School Of Bulacan about the effect of
technology as an educational tool. This research is
important because this research aims to know the
different effects of technology as an educational tool and
this topic is argued over by a lot of people over the past
years.
 CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
 3.1 METHODOLOGY
The research design
The subjects of the study are, the students of Mystical Rose School of Bulacan, school year 2018-2019.
They were from the senior high school student department consisting of 50 students. The researchers used
the unrestricted random samloing under scientific design. This is the best random sampling design due to no
restriction imposed, each member in the senior high school department was givenan equal chance of being
included as a participant.
Research subject
The participants were fifty selected senior high school students that are enrolled in Mystical Rose School
of Bulacan. There are twenty-five females and twenty-five males. There are 10 females and 10 males that are
in the section Amethyst. There are also 10 females and 10 males in the section Sapphire, while there are 5
females and 5 males in the section Emerald. The participant’s age are ranging from sixteen to eighteen. The
researchers chose senior high school students as their participants because senior high school students
depends on using technology as an educational tool. They use it in researching unfamiliar words, they use it
in their assignments, project and many more.
Thus we conclude that they are more susceptible to our topic.
3.2 RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
Mainly the tool used in this study was the research survey questionnaire and
interview equally distributed to the respondents made by the researcher. The set of
survey questionnaires were constricted to answer accordingly.

Part one: Collected the respondent’s profile that they have filled up personally such
as their age and gender.

Part two: The survey was a questionnaire that would determine if using technology as
an educational tool will affect their daily life in some way and if where, when, and
how they access their technologies every day.

For additional data and information we also gathered data by interviewing some of
the selected senior high school students.
3.3 DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

The researchers personally administered the survey questionnaires to the respondents and
provided them with clear instructions on how to answer. The respondents answered the test
surveys at their convenient time and place within the school campus.

The surveys were retrieved on the same day of the administration.

The senior high school students were first introduce to a two page questionnaire, that
questionnaire will have 7 questions on it, each question must have an answer. The data that was
extracted from the surveys will be classified, organized and tabulated accordingly. Later on, the
researchers also interviewed some of the selected students with the same following questions.

The researcher tabulated the data gathered from the answered surveys. Analyzation and
interpretation of data helped to formulate findings, conclusions and recommendations.
3.4 STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA

Individual responses were put on table for the statistical treatment.

Mean was utilized to quantify the data gathered for some problems 1
and 2 and total mean for sub-problem 3. Mean was the appropriate
statistical tool because there is only one descriptive interpretation that
describes the availability of using technological devices of the stem
students.

 CHAPTER 5
SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATIONS,
AND CONLUSIONS
 This research is conducted in
the premises of Mystical Rose
School Of Bulacan, with a total
number of 50 participants that are
in the senior high school
department of the said school.
The research took 4 months
5.1 SUMMARY to complete. The research is a
qualitative collecting materials. The
primary objective of this research
is for the researchers to know the
different effects of using
technology as an educational tool
for senior high school students.
The secondary objective of
this research is to know the
different kinds of technologies
students used in their daily lives
and for how long do they use the
said technology.
 The first conclusion the researchers had is that technology has
5.2 CONCLUSIONS revolutionized the way we live and this includes the way we teach. Access to
the internet has given teachers and learners around the globe the opportunity
to learn, create, collaborate and be part of something that goes beyond their
classroom.
However, the benefits from using technology in a classroom will not be
seen unless students are prepared to interact and learn in a virtual
environment overall, students should be able to use technology responsibly,
effectively, consciously, productively and most importantly , critically.
The researchers also found things about the senior high school students
of Mystical Rose School of Bulacan.

• The senior high school students thinks that there are good and bad effects
of using technology as an educational tool.
• The senior high school students thinks that the bad effects of using
technology as an educational tool can be minimized by the good effects of
it.
• The senior high school student’s rely more on technology as an
educational tool because they no longer have books to get the information
on.
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
The researchers recommend the use of technology as an
educational tool but with strict supervisions by the teacher. The
researchers also recommend to increase the technological
department of this school specially on the senior high department
because they need it more. the researchers also recommend to put a
person in charge regarding cyber bullying, technology is great and all
but we cannot escape the bad effects of it especially cyber bullying it
can deal traumatizing damage to one’s mental health. The last thing
that the researchers recommend is a wifi all over the school the
researchers know that this will lead to more students being distracted
by their phone or by the wifi but the researchers think that this will
greatly improve their technology department.
