Attitude, academic performance, descriptive study, Philippines

INTRODUCTION

Technology has been part of the cycle of life. It involves different categories
where it functions as a device or a tool, with a wider variety of uses. In education,
technology is gradually being introduced to improve each learner's learning capabilities
so that they can better adapt to a progressive society. The advent of technology has
deeply impacted the educational scenario of the world.
In the learning process, it is vital to provide useful techniques to generate a
productive learning strategy. The researchers initiated this plan to evaluate the attitude
and academic performance of the students will impact the result of using technology as
a basis of educational progression.
The researchers' task is to provide a clear representation of the data that will be
used to determine the impact of technology on students' attitude and their academic
performance.
In today’s generation, there is no denying that technology such as phones,
laptops, and computers has become a significant part of many people's lives, especially
in students' everyday scenario. But many students are still wondering how these
technologies affect students’ learning and their good and bad effects. For the
students, the benefits of using technology include things like making students more
interested in and excited about the lesson. It also increased the students' level of
interaction, and it brought students new perspectives and knowledge in class. Also, the
teaching strategies based on educational technology can be described as ethical
practices that facilitate students’ learning and boost their capacity, productivity, and
performance. Instructors are no longer limited to writing on plain paper or discussing the
lesson on a whiteboard. Still, they can rely on our modern technologies that will enable
them to make things easier.
Technology is a useful and adaptable instrument for teaching, learning, and
adopting as a way of life. Students and teachers both benefit from technology in the
classroom. It develops new techniques for gathering and displaying data as well as new
approaches for examining and comprehending the world around us. This gave the
researcher the idea to investigate technology. The researchers concentrated on how
students should use technology to achieve learning.

FRAMEWORK

This study is anchored on Behaviorism Theory (John Watson, 1913), Anchored

Instruction Theory (The Cognition and Technology Group, 1990), Theory of Diffusion of
Innovations (E.M. Rogers,1962), Distribution Cognition Theory (Edwin Hutchins, 1990)
and is supported by the following legal bases of CHED such as CHED Memo Order No.
04, series of 2020, Guidelines on the Implementation of Flexible Learning; CHED Memo
Order No. 78, series of 2017, Policies, Standards and Guidelines for the Bachelor of
Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLED); CHED Memo Order No. 63, series of
2017, Policies and Guidelines on Local Off-Campus Activities.
Behaviorism was the science of observable behavior. Only behavior that could
be observed, recorded and measured was of any real value for the study of humans or
animals. (Watson, 1913).
The Behaviorism Theory is a theory of learning based on the idea that all
behaviors are acquired through conditioning, and conditioning occurs through
interaction with the environment. Behaviorists believe that our actions are shaped by
environmental stimuli. In simple terms, according to this school of thought, also known
as behavioral psychology, behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable
manner regardless of internal mental states. Behavioral theory also says that only
observable behavior should be studied, as cognition, emotions, and mood are far too
subjective.

Conceptual Framework of the Study

Education has changed a lot because of the development of information

technology and knowledge information society. Development of the network
environment is a big effect of computer games by the Filipino young generation. Also,
the effect of the education reform policy of the Philippines government. Philippines
making e-Learning systems for remote education environments. And, there are various
projects with more interest in e-Learning.
ICT plays a major role in creating a new and improved model of teaching and
learning where education happens anytime and anywhere. In medieval times, books
were rare and only an elite few had access to educational opportunities. Individuals had
to travel to centers of learning to get an education. Today, massive amounts of
information (books, audio, images, videos) are available at one’s fingertips through the
Internet. Opportunities for communication and collaboration have also been expanded
by technology. Traditionally, classrooms have been relatively isolated, and collaboration
has been limited to other students in the same classroom or building. Today, technology
enables forms of communication and collaboration undreamed of in the past.
According to Desmita (2009) behavioristic learning theory is a theory of learning
to understand human behavior that uses an objective, mechanistic, and materialistic
approach, so that changes in behavior in a person can be done through conditioning
efforts. This theory prioritizes observation, because observation is an important thing to
see whether or not changes in behavior occur. The application of behavioristic theory in
learning activities depends on several components such as: learning objectives, subject
matter, student characteristics, media, learning facilities, environment, and
reinforcement (Sugandi, 2007).
Anchored Instruction Theory is a technology-based learning approach which
stresses the importance of placing learning within a meaningful, problem-solving
context. A form of situated learning, anchored instruction uses context stories or micro
to situate the learning and application of knowledge (The Cognition and Technology
Group, 1990).
Anchored Instruction Theory is often considered to be a form of situated
learning, which connects prior knowledge to authentic situations. Students use the
context provided to apply their knowledge of a particular idea, which further develops
their understanding of a topic. The situations are realistic in order to assist students in
making connections. In anchored instruction, the task itself is considered the anchor, or
the idea around which all understanding will revolve. This usually comes in the form of a
story with a problem that needs to be solved. Anchoring refers to the connection
between the story and the real-life situation.
Although the framework of anchored instruction, developed by the Cognition and
Technology Group at Vanderbilt (CTGV), can be used in almost any content area,
educational technology instructors are finding it to be extremely effective when teaching
students how to use a variety of technology tools (Bauer, Ellefson & Hall, 1994). This
approach can be defined as an attempt to help students become actively engaged in
learning by situating, or anchoring, instruction in interesting and realistic problem solving
environments.
Anchored instruction has positive contributions to teaching and learning in
different topics. Anchored instruction provides a learning environment where students
can actively participate in learning, learn in a more meaningful way and are more
motivated (Susanto & Riyanto, 2020). Anchored instruction related activities are helpful
for students’ meaningful learning, the use of anchored instruction causes a challenge for
teachers as they cannot figure out how and where they should fit them into existing
curricula (Hwang et al., 2019).
Theory of Diffusion of Innovations is one of the oldest social science theories. It
originated in communication to explain how, over time, an idea or product gains
momentum and diffuses (or spreads) through a specific population or social system
(Rogers,1962).
The Diffusion of Innovations Theory seeks to explain how and why new ideas
and practices are adopted, with timelines potentially spread out over long periods. The
way in which innovations are communicated to different parts of society and the
subjective opinions associated with the innovations are important factors in how quickly
diffusion or spreading occurs. According to the theory , innovations should be widely
adopted in order to attain development and sustainability. In real life situations the
adaptability of the culture played a very relevant role wherever the theory was applied.
Rogers’ DIT (2003) is a well-established empirical framework (Miller, 2015) that
conceptualizes the process of innovation diffusion, and can likewise be applied to the
process of innovation adoption, specifically, to the adoption of educational technology in
the field of education (Jwaifell & Gasaymeh, 2013). Rogers’ diffusion of innovations
theory is the most appropriate for investigating the adoption of technology in higher
education and educational environments (Medlin, 2001; Parisot, 1995).
Distributed Cognition Theory is a framework for thinking about cognition which
seeks to understand how the cognitive properties of aggregates emerge from the
interactions of component parts. It can be applied to cognitive systems at many levels of
complexity, from areas of an individual brain to communities of interacting persons.
Distributed cognition is sometimes construed as a special kind of cognition that occurs
when people are in interaction with one another or with material artifacts. Rather than
being a kind of cognition, distributed cognition is a manner of thinking about cognition
that permits one to examine the relationships between what is in the mind and the world
the mind is in. When applied to groups of persons, distributed cognition provides a
language for cognitive processes that are distributed across the members of a social
group, between people and their material environments, and through time. It attempts to
use an understanding of the social, cultural, and material context of cognitive practices
to constrain models of cognitive processes within and among individual minds
(Hutchins, 1990).
Distributed Cognition Theory is the theory that knowledge lies not only within
the individual but in the individual's social and physical environment. It provides a
framework and method to examine the interactions between people and objects.
According to Hutchins (2001), one of the pioneers and architects of this theory,
distributed cognition is a framework intended to investigate the question of how the
social and material relate to individual cognition. Distributed cognition focuses on the
complex interdependencies among people, artifacts, and technology, which are not
addressed in traditional theories of cognition (Rogers, 2006). As a theory, DCOG
describes the organization of cognitive systems in which cognitive activity is considered
to extend beyond the individual to interactions among people and with resources in the
environment (Hollan et al., 2000).
CHED Memo Order No. 04, series of 2020, Guidelines on the Implementation of
Flexible Learning. In a document released by CHED, general guidelines are provided
for the adoption of flexible learning and teaching options, approaches, strategies,
systems, pedagogies, and modalities in all public and private HEIs across the nation for
undergraduate and graduate programs, including those with permit status. The major
goal should be to offer students as much flexibility as possible regarding the learning
material, timetables, accessibility, and creative evaluation methods using both digital
and analog technologies. Flexible learning should complement outcomes-based
education approach which gives HEIs the freedom to choose their own methods of
delivery and evaluation as long as they can demonstrate that the program's learning
objectives have been met for each subject or course.
On the management of learners, HEIs shall provide mechanisms to inform and
orient learners on the learning system to implemented which may be in a form of course
packages for students and are accessible through offline and online modes. The
implementation of flexible learning by HEIs for both undergraduate and graduate
programs should still be guided by the principles of Outcomes Based Education (OBEs)
and by applicable PSGs to assure quality of teaching and learning.
CHED Memo Order No. 78, series of 2017, Policies, Standards and Guidelines
for the Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLED). Based on the
Guidelines for the Implementation of CMO No. 46 s.2012, this PSG implements the
“shift to learning competency-based standards/outcomes-based education” in response
to the 21st Century Philippine Teacher Education framework. Furthermore, this PSG is
anchored on the salient features of K to 12 Enhanced Curriculum (RA 10533), the
Philippine Qualifications Framework (EO 83, s.2012), the National Competency-Based
Teacher Standards (NCBTS) now the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers
(D.O. 42, s. 2017) and other relevant documents. It specifies the ‘core competencies’
expected of BTLEd graduates “regardless of the spirit of outcomes-based education
and of the typology of HEIs, “this PSG also provides “ample space for HEIs to innovate
in the curriculum in line with the assessment of how best to achieve learning outcomes
in their particular contexts and their respective missions”.
Quality pre-service teacher education is a key factor in the quality of Philippine
education. In the Philippines, the pre-service preparation of teachers is a very important
function and responsibility that has been assigned to higher education institutions. All
efforts to improve the quality of education in the Philippines are dependent on the
service of teachers who are properly prepared to undertake the various important roles
and functions of teachers. As such, it is of utmost importance that the highest standards
are set in defining the objectives, components, and processes of the pre-service
technical teacher education curriculum.
CHED Memo Order No. 63, series of 2017, Policies and Guidelines on Local Off-
Campus Activities. In the Philippines, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) ensure a
sustainable teaching and learning delivery process through the conduct of off-campus
activities. These are activities conducted by HEIs to supplement and facilitate a more
meaningful learning experience for students in addition to the regular classroom
instructional programs that are in accordance with specific degree program
requirements. These also include non-curricular activities. They are intended to broaden
the students’ learning opportunities and allow them a feel of the real world, and
therefore serve as a powerful motivator to strengthen the academe-industry linkage.
These learning situations include: internships, educational tours or field trips, field
studies, educational linkages, student development activities, non-curricular-based
activities such as mission-based, immersion/reach-out programs, convention,
conferences, trainings, volunteer work, inter school competitions, cultural performances
and team development activities, among others.
Accordingly, the related literature and studies just reviewed provided guides and
directions necessary for the researchers to meet the desired objectives. Technology has
impacted almost every aspect of life today. Technology has profoundly changed
education in many ways, for one, technology has greatly expanded access to education.
The Philippine Star created an article last 12th of July 2017 about how
technology helps students’ study well. According to it more and more schools 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 Espinosa (2018), Technological advances have greatly changed the
education landscape in that teaching is no longer confined to the traditional face-to-face
delivery of lessons. Now, via the internet, students 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 using
traditional textbooks.
According to 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.
According to the study of 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 of utilizing and
producing information and transforming it into knowledge and a vast array of goods and
services. The CHED has initiated a computerization program with the goal of preparing
Filipino students for employment and competitive careers by teaching them to master
new forms of technology. They also would like to harness and enhance the power of
technology towards developing the entire teaching-learning process, specifically in its
bid to make each and every public-school student empowered in this highly globalized
and integrated world economy.
According to Zuckenburg (2018) “What defines a technological tool - one
historical definition - is something that takes a human’s sense or ability and augments it
and makes it more powerful. So, for example, I wear contact lenses or glasses; that is a
technology that enhances my human ability of vision and makes it better.”

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 The research aims to determine the attitudes and performances of the third year
BTLED students majoring ICT, Cebu Technological University, school year 2022-2023
as the basis for an action plan. Specifically, it answers the: 1] Profile of the respondents;
2] Level of attitudes of the respondents toward technology; 3] Performance of the
respondents in Website Development: Website Creation; 4] Test of significant
relationship.

METHODOLOGY

Design
This study will employ the descriptive correlational method to gather the
respondents' attitude and academic performance of BTLED III students in Cebu
Technological University-Main Campus. The descriptive correlational method targets
the student’s engagement to attitude and academic performance based on targeted
survey questionnaires and grading system. Some common methods include focus
groups, individual interviews participation or observations. The research study will be
done by conducting a survey to the related respondents. Specifically, the 3rd year
BTLED students of Cebu Technological University. The researchers will interpret the
Data being evaluated by respondents.

Environment
The study will be conducted in Cebu Technological University - Main Campus
located at M.J. Cuenco Ave, Cor R. Palma Street, 6000 Cebu. The University was
started in 1911 when the Cebu Trade School was established as one of the earliest
vocational schools in the country. Founded by the Americans as the Manual Arts
Department of the Cebu Normal School (now Cebu Normal University), its main
purpose was to develop technical skills.
The College of Education (CoEd) has the course Bachelor of Technology and
Livelihood Education Major in Information and Communication Technology (BTLED-
ICT) where it focuses on various computer related skills to perform. The CoEd Building
has computer laboratories, drafting laboratories, and hardware shops including the
different kinds of tools and equipment.
The computer laboratory can accommodate 50 students per class, each student
has their own computer set to work-on. The laboratory includes the television, tools and
equipment, and an airconditioned room. The drafting laboratory also has an
airconditioned room with customized tables that can accommodate 50 students per
class. The hardware shop can accommodate up to 30 students per class. The shop
includes the hardware components,and the tools and equipment.

Respondents
The researcher uses the universal sampling technique to gather information from
the Third-Year BTLED-ICT students of Cebu Technological University- Main Campus to
participate in the study. There are 22 respondents under the course program. Universal
sampling refers to the selection of samples where not all the people in the population
have the same profitability of being included in the sample and each one of them, the
probability of being selected is unknown.

Instrument
The survey questionnaires with closed-ended questions that will be used for data
collection will be the primary tools we will use to gather more information. researchers
will use survey questionnaires, computers, and the internet for research purposes to
encode our outputs. All their answers will be tabulated and analyzed to avoid bias.
These terms, reliability and validity, are often used interchangeably when they are not
related to statistics. When critical readers of statistics use these terms, however, they
refer to different properties of the statistical or experimental method. Reliability is
another term for consistency. If one person takes the same personality test several
times and always receives the same results, the test is reliable. A test is valid if it
measures what it is supposed to measure. If the results of the personality test claimed
that a very shy person was in fact outgoing, the test would be invalid.
Validity refers to how well a scientific test or piece of research actually measures
what it sets out to, or how well it reflects the reality it claims to represent. Like reliability,
validity in this sense is a concept drawn from the positivist scientific tradition and needs
specific interpretation and usage in the context of qualitative research. Reliability and
validity are independent of each other.

Research Procedures
Gathering of Data. For the purposes of this research, an online survey was
used. A survey is a data collection tool that lists a set of structured questions to which
respondents provide answers based on their knowledge and experience. It is a standard
data gathering process that allows you to access information from a predefined group of
respondents during research. Online surveys are usually created via data collection
platforms. These platforms have form builders where you can create your survey from
scratch using different form fields and features. As far as data collection tools were
concerned, the conduction of the research involved the use of a structured
questionnaire, which was made available through Google Forms. Certain questions
were prepared for the participants to answer based on the satisfaction of research
objectives. The survey was conducted online during the month of November 2022 with
the participation of the third-year college students of Cebu Technological University-
Main Campus. More specifically, the researcher sends the questionnaires and asks
them to participate in the research after explaining the purpose of the study. In general
terms, the respondents were willing to participate in the research and the survey was
conducted in the second week of November 2022. The discussions and the
questionnaire were sent through a messenger application and allotted three days for the
respondents to answer the questions. During the conduction of the survey, respondents
were free to choose their answers. Finally, it should be noted that the survey flowed
smoothly and pleasantly.

Ethical Considerations. Ethical considerations are necessary for research

projects as all participants have moral and legal rights. For this study, the researcher
ensured they interacted with the participants in a personal way, that they did not invade
their privacy without consent from them, that the research did not hurt their feelings and
that all information received from them was acknowledged and accurately represented.

Data Privacy. The following formulas were applied to the data obtained during
the actual test in order to provide solutions for the study handling of the issue.
To treat the profile of the respondents, frequency, simple percentage, mean, and
standard deviation will be used.
On the factors that affect the attitude and performance of the respondents in the
major subjects, weighted mean and standard deviation will be used.
To test of significant relationships, Chi-square test of independence will be used..
