THE IMPACTS OF TECHNOLOGY DEPENDENCE ON SCHOOL
PERFORMANCE AMONG THE SELECTED GRADE 11 STUDENTS OF
ST. JOSEPH COLLEGE OF NOVALICHES, INCORPORATED AY
2020-2021
As our world changes over time, there is no doubt that technological
progress has indeed improved culture. Mobile phones and other
gadgets have become so ubiquitous in everyday life that many people
depend on them for everything. The internet is linked to
communication with loved ones, financial management, social media,
and GPS instructions, making access more important than ever. Any of
this leads to dependency on technology or dependence on technology.
The use of technology clashed with the students' everyday lives, but
Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist, thinks it might be too much to
mark it as addiction. Ms. Dowling continues to refer to it as "Internet
Dependency." There is a need for this field of study to be expanded
and for people to be aware of it by analyzing and investigating the
technologies that may affect the student's results. As a result,
everybody will be conscious of its impacts.
7 | Page
This study aims: 1.) What is the impact of technology dependency to
those less fortunate at the selected student? 2.) What is the impact of
technology dependency in the school performance to the selected
students?
The researchers used the case study in conducting the study. The
researchers purposively chose 30 respondents who are 11th graders
currently studying at St. Joseph College of Novaliches Inc.
According to the findings of this report, most students rely on
technology for education and information. It has also been shown to
help students improve their grades, and they both prefer using
technology and handbooks for their schoolwork.
The researchers recommend the students who struggle with their
devices and who are not satisfied with it, seek help from their friends
and parents, because in this time of pandemic, helping is a must,
especially learning online is not as easy unlike learning from the actual
class. Also, we recommend the parents to actively encourage their
children and find time to ask them if they are doing well with their
academics because not all students can comfortably cope with this
form of online-based learning.

The main objective of this study is to determine the impacts of
technology dependence on school performance among the selected
Grade 11 students of SJCNI.

CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
As our world develops through the years, there is no question
that technology’s advancement has also enriched society. However,
this growth can also cost issues and disadvantages and perhaps has a
darker side ,especially for the younger generation. Some may become
concerned that people are losing essential aspects of human
experience as they are becoming more and more technologically
linked. Regardless of age, gender, economic status and other factors,
most individuals are smartphone/mobile phone users.
Currently, the term most often used to refer to mobile phones
are both smartphones (handheld computers that can run software like
a computer) and feature phones (which are used only to communicate
via audio and sometimes text). The use of mobile devices is now very
widespread; many people can access the internet and/or phone service
only through such devices (International Telecommunication Union,
2012).
10 | Page
According to Statista.com, in 2017, around 42.06% owns a
smartphone, and by the year 2020, around 63.6% of the population of
the Philippines owns and uses a smartphone. By 2025, it is expected
that 77.1% of the entire population would be using smartphones. “In
modern life, mobile phones and other devices have become so
fundamental that many depend on them for everything. The internet is
connected to contact with loved ones, financial management, social
media, and GPS directions, making connectivity more essential than
ever before. All of this leads to reliance on technology or technology
dependence.
In 2010, The New York Times covered the topic of Technology
Dependence and the reporter interviewed Dr. Elias Aboujaoude,
director of the Impulse Control Disorders Clinic at Stanford. “We’re
paying a price in terms of our cognitive life because of this virtual
lifestyle”. People tend to spend a lot of time with their devices, and
studies indicated that dependency on mobile phones and technology is
linked to addiction. The use of technology interfered with the daily
lives of the students, but according to Nicki Dowling, a clinical
11 | Page
psychologist, it may be too far to label it as addiction. Ms. Dowling
prefers to call it “Internet dependence”.
There is a need for this area of research to have its boundaries
extended, and to let people know about this topic by examining and
exploring the technology that may impact the student’s performance.
With that, everyone will be aware of its impacts.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aims to recognize the impacts of technology on
students. Its objective is to answer the following questions:
1. What is the impact of technology dependency to those less
fortunate at the selected student?
2. What is the impact of technology dependency in the school
performance to the selected students?
12 | Page
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
This study will focus on the impact of technology dependence on
school performance among the selected Grade 11 students of St.
Joseph College of Novaliches, Incorporated. The research is conducted
to have thorough knowledge about the benefits or problems of the
students on why they depend too much on technology for their school
purposes and if it impacts the quality of education between students
and teachers of the school. We limit our respondents to selected 30
grade 11 students of St. Joseph College of Novaliches, Incorporated.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Since the pandemic started, classes are being conducted online
thus lead to some students’ technology dependence. Students use
technology to communicate with teachers during classes. The study
will perceive the impacts of “technology dependence” on school
performance among Grade 11 students. Furthermore, this study will
be helpful to the following groups:
13 | Page
Students
- This study will inform the students on how technology impacts their
school performance. This study will also help them identify the things
that he/she should know for the student to be aware of his/her school
performance.
Teachers
-The conclusions of this study will help the teachers adequately
educate students about the proper use of technology and its
limitations. It will give the teachers knowledge if a student can
perform better with the help of technology.
Future Researchers
- This study will be used as a future reference for prospective
researchers who will perform a research approach close to this study.
Future researchers may use the key topics in this study to achieve a
broader understanding of technology dependency.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents the review of related foreign and local
literature and studies particularly those with direct bearing to the
present study.
Literature broadly is any collection of written work, but it is also used
more narrowly for writings specifically considered to be an art form,
especially prose fiction, drama, and poetry.
FOREIGN
Raja, R. & P. C. Nagasubramani, (2018) As students prefer to
learn by the means of technology in our modern world and how it
impacts their learning ability, it was revealed that the use of modern
equipment and tools and interactivity of the students increase. They
also claim that it is much more interactive and fuller of interesting
ideas when it is aided by technology. The learning process becomes
easy and convenient, as well as effective. This means our minds tend
to work faster when assisted with the use of modern technology,
talking about education. The reliance and dependence of such
16 | Page
technology, makes life an easy, smooth journey and is completely
unavoidable these days especially in schools, universities and colleges.
Flanagan, J. L. (2018). Number of technologies has begun to
emerge in support of enhancing how students learn in schools. These
technologies, however, are not used to replace traditional teaching
methods, but instead used as methods to enhance student learning.
Technology is the technical means people use to improve their
surroundings and the use of it. Classrooms around the world have
applied various forms of technology to enhance student interest in
learning. Student achievement, engagement and interest had risen
and grades on the assessments had also increased due to the
presence of technology.
Study is the act of learning and spending time discovering
information or an academic work or investigation about a particular
thing or subject area.
17 | Page
FOREIGN
Harris, J. L. (2016). School officials and administrators have
tried sorts of remedies to promote student engagement and
achievement in the classrooms and this included the implementation of
technology into curricula. The United States Department of Education
(2002), the “No Child Left Behind Act” pursued to get rid of the digital
divide and to have student technologically educated by the end of the
grade level. Technology is such an asset to any school or classroom.
The use of technology allows teachers to fully differentiate and tailor
instruction to meet the needs of their students.
LOCAL
According to philstar.com (2014) there have been several
improvements in how students nowadays are getting their education.
These improvements, which have been noted by teachers and school
administrators, include the following:
18 | Page
Independence and information gathering
By connecting to the Internet, students learn how to do their
research. The wealth of information available on the Web plus the ease
of using search engines give students more independence and
confidence, as well as increased skill, when it comes to finding relevant
data and putting these data together to meet a learning requirement
or goal.
Critical thinking and reflection
With the large volume of information that they access, students
are induced to learn to think critically: Which information inaccurate?
Is this information useful to the homework or subject at hand? Is this
information validated by multiple sources and by the latest research
findings? Students learn not to simply accept any data, no matter how
readily available. With the guidance of their teacher, they can practice
critical thought.
19 | Page
Communication and collaboration
Through the exchange of ideas and messages—either by e-mail,
chat, or even social media— students are able to collaborate with each
other to test their understanding of lessons. They can more easily ask
questions to one another and provide answers and share research.
As a rule in the school of Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez
Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST), they recommend
the student’s study habit should have at least three hours and one and
a half hour out of class for every hour spent in class and Technology
(EARIST) also suggests that distracting noise should be minimized
however they said that there are some people need sound and some
like silence.

CHAPTER 3
METHODS OF RESEARCH
This chapter represents the research methods and specific
procedures for gathering and analyzing data. The primary components
of this chapter will include the research design, the methodology that
will be applied in the study.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The main objective of this research is to learn about it and collect
data on the Impacts of Technology Dependence on School
Performance among Grade 11 Students. A case study is a
comprehensive study of a particular topic, such as an individual,
community, place, or phenomenon. Case studies are useful for
assessing and perceiving various elements of the research problem.
The researchers claimed that this design, with the Grade 11 students
of St. Joseph College of Novaliches Incorporated, is the most
appropriate solution, not just because it has been used by a group of
experts, but also because it explains the purpose of the situation.
21 | Page
RESPONDENTS
The researchers will be utilizing the selected 30 Grade 11
students of St. Joseph College of Novaliches, Incorporated.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
Purposeful Sampling was employed in our study because we are
talking about the impact of technology dependence among grade 11
Students of St. Joseph College of Novaliches Incorporated where we
use the method of collecting data by surveying the student. We select
students to answer our survey to understand what are the impacts of
technology dependence among grade 11 students of St. Joseph
College of Novaliches Incorporated.
INSTRUMENT USED IN THE STUDY
In gathering the data, the respondents will be given a survey
that is related to the research topic. They will answer the topic via an
online survey to gather out the desired information from the
respondents' point of view.
22 | Page
CONSTRUCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
Researches will provide set of questions to selected Grade 11
students in order to collect data and evaluate so that we can be able to
determine the impacts in their school performance when they depend
on technology as an instrument of learning.

25 respondents answered that they prefer to depend on textbooks
25 | Page
CHAPTER 5
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
This chapter presents the summary of the data gathered
from the conducted survey.
1. The result of the survey indicated that most of the respondents are
currently using a laptop and/or a computer. More than half of the
respondents use a cellphone alongside their laptops or computers
this school year.
1.1 Most of the respondents answered the follow-up question
that they are satisfied with their device. Meanwhile, very
few respondents have answered that they are not satisfied.
They stated it was because they wanted better
specifications/specs, their device has an outdated processor,
and they had to use another gadget because their laptop
does not equip a camera and a microphone.
26 | Page
2. Out of 30 respondents, a scale of 4 out of 5 was the most voted by
13 respondents when asked how much they depend on technology
as a source of information. Followed by a scale of 5 that was voted
by 10 respondents. The rest voted for a scale of 3. Meanwhile,
there is one respondent who voted on a scale of 2.
3. More than half of the respondents answered yes that dependency
on technology can help improve a student’s grades. Others
answered no.
4. Most of the respondents voted yes as an answer to agreeing that
the student’s technology dependence might cause a bad influence
on their school performance and behavior. The rest voted no; they
do not agree.
5. More than half of the respondents answered that they feel
satisfaction when receiving their grades made with the help of
technology. Less than half of the respondents answered that they
do not feel satisfactied.
5.1 The follow-up question asks if they are confident of
receiving grades when it is purely done based on textbooks
and notes. Most of the respondents answered yes, the
others answered no.

27 | Page
6. Out of 30 respondents, 20 voted yes that they can do their tasks on
their own even without the technology. The remaining others voted
no.
7. Out of 30 respondents, 9 said they will depend on technology
because it’s easier to gain information and will manage or save
their time. 13 respondents said they rather use textbooks because
the information from books is accurate and correct. In addition, not
all information from the Internet is true and reliable. 8 said they are
going to use both to get more ideas and need technology since
nowadays we are in a pandemic, meanwhile, they also use
handbooks and take notes because it is traditional, and they are
fond of it.
28 | Page
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1. What is the impact of technology dependence to those less
fortunate at the selected students?
The grade 11 students of St. Joseph College of Novaliches Inc.
who do not have the same luxury or do not have full access to technologies,
internet connections and other factors as other students, tend to experience
less technology dependence. Hence, they make their school works without
the full use of the technology available to them. Aside from that, those less
fortunate students tend to be less attached to technology since it is not
always available to them.
2. What is the impact of technology dependence on the school
performance to the selected students?
The selected students who depend on technology as a means of
finishing their school works and tasks tend to be more involved in
technologies or devices available to them. Since they are more
involved, this may lead to certain circumstances in which they depend
on the technology around them to have a better school performance.
This reliance might cost them their independency resulting in students
being lazy to do their school works thinking they have the technology
always available around them to do the work.
CONCLUSION
29 | Page
Based on the summary of findings, the researchers formulated the
following conclusions:
1. The selected grade 11 students feel satisfied with their received
grades when it is purely done based on textbooks and notes.
2. The researchers conclude that most of the respondents said that
they depend on technology when it comes to source of
information and it improves the student’s school performance.
3. The respondents agreed that technology dependence might
cause a bad influence on their school performance and behavior.
RECOMMENDATION
30 | Page
The searchers made the following recommendations based on their
findings and the conclusions they took from them:
These recommendations are offered to the following population:
To the PARENTS, We recommend that you always check on your
children's school performance through their report card and take some
time and ask them whether they are really learning and if they need
help at least, especially in this time of the pandemic, they're just
learning through online platforms and not all of the students can easily
cope up with this kind of set up, so we recommend that you always
encourage and motivate them.
To the STUDENTS, since you are all using technology to study, we
suggest that you always evaluate yourself to see whether you are
gaining information or improving by online-based learning. We also
recommend that you continue to use the books that were provided to
you because not all of the details you need can be found on the
internet. Don't give up easily; you have goals to accomplish, so always
motivate yourself to achieve them, no matter how tough it is to study.
31 | Page
To the FUTURE RESEARCHERS, we recommended that more analysis
should be conducted to learn more about the impacts of technology
dependency on students' school performance.
