Introduction
In our generation today, there’s no denying that technology such as phones, laptop and
computers has become a significant part of many people especially in student’s everyday lives.
But many of us are still wondering on how these technologies affects the student’s learning and
Modern technology has greatly improved people’s lives through different fields such as
medicines, work, industry and especially education. For the students, we know the benefits of
using technology such as making student more interested and excited about the lesson. It also
increased the student’s level of interaction and it brought us new perspectives and knowledge in
class. Also, the teaching strategies based on educational technology can be described as ethical
practices that facilitate student’s learning and boost their capacity, productivity, and
performance. Instructors are no longer limited to write in a plain paper or discuss the lesson in a
white board, but they can rely on our modern technologies that will enable them to make things
easier.
In conclusion, technology is a versatile and valuable tool for teaching and learning and
becoming a way of life. Technology in the classroom is both beneficial to students and teachers.
It creates new ways of obtaining and presenting information and gives us new ways of analyzing
and understanding the world around us. These inspired the researcher to conduct a study about

Theoretical Framework
Over time, learning became easier and faster with the help of different tools and methods.
Blackboards have been used for at least a millennium, books and pamphlets have held a
prominent role in education. Now we have innovated technologies that can be used for quicker
Educational Technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and
improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and
resources. According to David L. (2017) there are three (3) major educational theories, such as
Behaviorism, Cognitivism and Constructivism that widely implemented in education and greatly

It studies human brains’ thinking process. Cognitivists believe that a human being possesses
development stages; advocate the study of people’s cognitive development processes and
models, and design different instructional programs based on one’s cognitive development needs
Constructivist theory is in favor of letting students to construct their point of view of the
world, philosophy of living, technical expertise, and knowledge structures; emphasizes one’s
learning initiative, and social and 162 Theories and Research in Educational Technology and

this theory is discovery learning. Students learn by doing. John Dewey (1859-1952), a well-
known educational psychologist, believed that practicing is a foundation of learning, and without
learning practice, students would get lost. He stressed that students construct their knowledge in
practice, and instructional design should respect students’ psychological development needs.

Lynne Schrum, past president of the International Society for Technology in Education
of Georgia. Her research, teachings, and writings focus on issues related to distance education,
specifically online learning. Schrum also investigates the uses of technology in K-12
environments and identifies ways to support educators in the effort. Educators want students to
learn. She said that It is certainly not enough to tell educators that they need to use the boxes and
wires that have invaded their schools simply because they are expensive or because students
need to know how to use the latest widget. If it's clear that technological tools will help them
achieve that goal, educators will use those tools. Technology lends itself to exploration. But
before technology can be used effectively, exploration must be valued as important to both
teaching and learning. In a technology-rich classroom, students might search the Web for
information, analyze river water, chart the results, and record what they've learned on the

There were seven (7) steps for adapting technology to the classroom by Sean Nank
(2017) As the recession of 2008 becomes a not too distant memory, some schools are finding
themselves better funded. With this comes the acquisition of technology for schools and
classrooms. The widespread introduction of technology can have amazing impacts on curricula,
pedagogy, and student learning. But some schools have not experienced these results. The
following are the seven aspects of adapting technology that will help you avoid lackluster results.
Buy technology for teachers and students, Use the 10% rule (If you have $100,000 total to spend
on technology, then spend $90,000 and set aside $10,000 for professional development and
training to support teachers while implementing the technology.),Give teachers time, Choose a

nowadays, it seems like kids should be finding it easier than ever to succeed in school. However,
as more classrooms invest in the latest technology, test scores remain the same, bringing its
effectiveness into question. “Incorporating technology into the classroom requires a double
innovation,” says Shelley Pasnik, director of the Center for Education and Technology,
Educators who receive new technology must first learn how to use the equipment and then
decide whether or not it supports the class objectives and curriculum. Despite the challenges,
incorporating technology into education still has proven benefits, especially when it comes to
personalized learning. From math games that adjust the level of difficulty as players progress to
electronic books that talk and respond to the tap of a finger, products that personalize the
learning experience for students often benefit their understanding. An interactive game is more
engaging than a book, so technology often promotes more practice and review in areas requiring
memorization, such as spelling, math and geography. This frees up time in the classroom so
educators can focus on skills like problem solving, character development and critical thinking.

Local Literature
The Philippine Star created an article last 12th of July 2014 about how technology helps
students study well. According to it more and more school use technology such as computers and
the internet in their classroom and several improvements on students have seen and they are now
getting better in education. These improvements are the following: Independence and
information gathering, Critical thinking and reflection, Communication and collaboration, More
engaging learning experience and Preparation for jobs later on. By connecting the internet,
students learn how to do their own research and with the large information that they access.
Students are induced to learn to think critically. Through exchange of ideas and messages,
students are able to collaborate with each other to test their understanding of lessons. Information
today is more engaging to the mind and the senses because of its multimedia nature. Knowing all
of these improvements and advantages. more and more schools are allowing not just desktop
computers and laptops, but also tablet devices and smartphones in their classrooms.
According to John Paul Espinosa (2016) Technological advances had greatly changed the
education landscape in that teaching is no longer confined to the traditional face-to-face delivery
of lessons. Now, via internet we can also learn not only in the classroom but outside the school.
Through the convergence of modern and traditional methods, students are now able to
experience the best of both worlds. They can learn from school and get additional information or
lessons through the web and internet. A survey conducted by Pearson Foundation in the United
States found that more than six in 10 college students and high school seniors agree that they
study more efficiently by using tablets. A study conducted by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in
California also showed that students using iPads performed better in math compared to students
EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY 13
using traditional textbooks. Another study at Oklahoma State University found that 75 percent of
students said the use of gadgets enhanced their learning experience. Even though that the parents
and some teacher fear that gadgets may distract students, surveys and studies have shown that
these technological devices are a big help in learning.Today, more states administered tests for
the elementary and high school through the internet, discarding the use of the traditional pen and
paper.
Back in 1960s where computers are very bulky to the very compact gadgets of the
present time, technology had been continuously developing in the past decades. Accroding to
John Rifuno I. Macaset(2017) a BS Computer Engineering, technology had played great roles in
many people’s daily tasks starting with the conception of the personal computer, people’s work
became faster, and communication with other people became easier. Recent years, the use of
technology in education has been proven beneficial to both teachers and students. With the use of
the internet, teachers are able to communicate with their students more easily, and allows them
to distribute learning materials such as assignments, exercises, and tests to their pupils.
from the views of teachers, With iPads, Facebook, smartphones, video games, music, and others,
technology now occupies a significant amount of a child's time in the United States (almost eight
hours a day - National Center for Education Statistics, USA). Students in the Philippines
probably face the same increasing amount of time spent on these activities provided by
technology. Thus, it is time to ask how current technology affects student learning. The response
from teachers is particularly important since their perspective comes directly from the
classroom.

Why teachers have to use technology? article by Glenny E. Laping(2016) according to it,
technology is a way of life. It is everywhere in this computer age. Students use technology
improperly and unproductively so teachers should provide guidance for them. Also free
educational tools are easier and faster to use than the traditional tools. Teachers could use this to
skills. Technology alone cannot develop in students the skills necessary to succeed in today’s
world. Teachers and parents should teach and guide the young to use technology the right way
productively.

In the James Kulik Study (1994), the researcher used a technique called meta-analysis
to aggregate the findings from more than 500 individual studies of computer-based instruction.
Computer based instruction individualizes the educational process to accommodate the needs,

interests, and learning styles of each student (Kulik, 1994, 4). The study found that
students who used computer-based instruction scored at the 64th percentile on test of
achievement compared to students in the control conditions without computers who scored at
the percentile. This study helps to show that student achievement can be affected positively
especially through assessment scores. Students also tend to like their classes more and
develop more positive attitudes towards learning which results in positive academic
achievement.

There are many terms that are currently in use so far as ICT in Education is
concerned. Many terms have come and gone and there are overlaps in some instances which are
not necessarily identical. Bybee, Poewll, and Trowbridge (2008) categorize the uses of

about computers, learning with computers and learning through computers. Learning about

Local Studies
According to the study of Jimson Mariano (2017) The Philippine government has been
committed to bring the educational system into a modernized status, particularly on basic
education, in its effort to make each and every student at par with other students of neighboring
developed countries. Our country is now capable to utilize and produce information and to
transform it into knowledge and vast array of goods and services. The Department of Education
(DEPED) has initiated in 1996 a computerization program with the goal of preparing Filipino
students for employment and competitive career by teaching them to master new forms of
technology. They also would like to harness and enhance the power of technology
make each and every public school student empowered in this highly globalized and integrated
world economy.
ICT plays a major role in creating a new and improved model of teaching and learning
where education happens anytime and anywhere. According to Diwanie Perez (2016) to achieve
this vision we should continue to use ICT to revitalize our schools to make them to dynamic,
collaborative and innovative learning institutions where students can become more motivated,
inquisitive and creative learners. Also to link students with vast networked world of knowledge

introduction of the PC, as many roads have been paved for us to follow, a lot of work still lay
ahead. In the present stage, since technology is here to stay, some educators took a second look
at how technology is being used. Instead of technology dictating what they should do, they
started telling technology what they wanted to do in teaching core subjects. The technology
experts of the school started shifting gears. From being the untouchable nerds in the computer

Method of Study
According to Ed Forest (2001) Descriptive research does not fit neatly into the definition
of either quantitative or qualitative research methodologies, but instead it can utilize elements of
both, often within the same study. The term descriptive research refers to the type of research
question, design, and data analysis that will be applied to a given topic. Descriptive statistics tell
what is, while inferential statistics try to determine cause and effect. According to Devin
Kowalczyk (2013) a correlation is simply defined as a relationship between two variables. The
whole purpose of using correlations in research is to figure out which variables are connected.
