THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Since the beginning of time, man has been inventing things;

demand for technology is sky high and what the public wants,
the public gets. Nothing, however, can compare with the sudden
boost of the 21st century’s best invention yet, the mobile
phone. This concept was first discovered and developed by
Motorola, the first Mobile Phone Company in history. The
success of the industry is displayed by the chief of the
statistical compendia branch of the Commerce Dept., who states
that “the cellphone industry has shown remarkable growth over
the decade, it’s doubled over the last three years alone”.

For understanding of mobile phone, mobile phone it has many

names like, cell phone, mobile, smart phone or telephone. This
is a portable device that access to cellular radio system. In
simple devices it only access to make and receive the calls
and send and receive the messages, while in Smart devices it
also have the facility to access the internet with the above
two facilities.

Mobile technology has gone through many different evolutions

to get where it is today. In the industry, it often refer to
these evolutions as “generation”, or simply “G”, which refers
to the maturity and capabilities of the actual cellular
networks. The cellular network is only one element of the
overall mobile ecosystem. To make sense of it all, mobile
users cannot rely on the common convention of network
generations, as those milestones are too focused on the
network and not the true cultural milestone that is shifting
how people use technology.
 In this modern world which is known as digital world,
technological advanced has successfully replace manual
operation largely. In other words, today it is impossible to
waking up without your mobile phones. From waking up to the
sound of alarm clock, looking of time, texting, and calling
your relatives even video call, doing online study, shopping,
social media, or other thing that you needed the help of
phone, and maybe some students today are usually can’t go to
school without their phones.

The adoption of the mobile phone by young people has been a

global phenomenon in recent years. It is now an integral part
of adolescent’s daily lives and is for the majority, the most
popular form of electronic communication. In fact, the mobile
phone has turned from a technological tool to a social tool.

Mobile phone are popular form of communication in today’s

society, students of all ages has own cell phone use and
possession during school hours, with the majority agreeing
that they must be turned during class or banned from school
all together to prevent them being distraction.

Mobile phone is bad but have a good side, has a lot of

advantages and disadvantages, it makes life more easily, but
people shouldn’t depended on it. Use the phone in a good way,
and it will brings a lot of benefits.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Nowadays, almost the youth has their own mobile phone,

especially the students and also the elders. So, this research
wants to know the impact of mobile phone to their study while
studying.

1.What are the percentages of participant from Grade 10-12

students that use mobile phone while studying?

2.How many hours they spend on using mobile phone?

3.What are the influences of mobile phone to the studying

of the students?

4.What are the benefits of using mobile phone to the

student’s education today?

5.What are the mobile applications commonly using today?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study will be helpful to analyze the occurrence and

impact of mobile phone development or evolution to the school
youth not also to them but to the other that use cellphones
and its implication for daily lifestyle and behaviors of
mobile users. It may also help to those newly mobile users and
persons wants to buy their own mobile phone soon.
 ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY

This assumption is from Statement of the Problem.

1. There is significant relationship between the percentage

of mobile users and the mobile phone uses.

2. There is significant relationship between the influence

of using mobile phone and the study of the students.

3. There is significant relationship between the benefits of

using mobile phone and the student’s education today.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

This study will explain and analyze the mobile devices in this
generation. The evolution of Smartphone brings a lot of
extraordinary digital uses to our daily needs, like in
communication, accessing information, virtual access control
cards, saving a money, social media, and so on.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the students

perception of mobile phone use and impact of it in Education
at Sagurong High School. The limitations of this study are the
participants of this study, included only students from Grade
10-12 at Sagurong High School in Pili, Camarines Sur.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Mobile Devices. It is use the researcher as one of the

variables of this research study. A mobile device is a
handheld tablet or other device that is made for portability,
and is both compact and lightweight. New data storage,
processing and display technologies have allowed these small
devices to do nearly anything that had previously been
traditionally done with larger personal computers.

Students. A student is primarily a person enrolled in a

school or other educational institution and who is under
learning with goals of acquiring knowledge, developing
professions and achieving employment in a desired field. In
the broader sense, a student is anyone who applies themselves
to the intensive intellectual engagement with some matter
necessary to mastery is basic or decisive.

Digital World. It is use the researcher as one of the

helping term to explain the mobile evolution that affects the
school youth. According to the Merriam Webster (2018), digital
world is a time that people using or characterized by computer
technology.

Education. Merriam Webster (2018), Education is the

action or process of teaching someone especially in a school,
college, or university. The knowledge, skill, and
understanding that you get from attending a school, college,
or university, a field of study that deals with methods and
problems of teaching.

LOCALE OF THE STUDY

The researchers will be conducting their study at Sagurong

High School in Municipality of Pili, Province of Camarines
Sur. The Municipality of Pili is the second class Municipality
in the Province of Camarines Sur, Philippines.
 CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED AND LITERATURE

This chapter presents the related literature and studies

after the thorough and in depth search done by the
researchers. It is also present the Theoretical Framework and
Conceptual Framework. This chapter is making for the better
understanding and comprehensive of the study.

RELATED LITERATURE

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF MOBILE PHONES

Mobile phone has become needful of every human being,

imagine the life without it. Being a part of today’s
technological world, chances are quite high that you also own
a mobile phone. Just like everything, mobile phones have both
positive and negative influence to users but it depends how
they use it.

According to Bob(2018),mobile phone is the best way to

communicate. We can stay in touch with our loved ones anywhere
and anytime, quite useful in studies and business, students
can access internet using their mobile phones while on the go,
so they can get knowledge of any topic they want to know, just
because of mobile phones. When it comes in emergency situation
in which you need to ask a help or need to talk a one person,
mobile phone is what works as help in such situation. Life is
nothing less than a hell without any entertainment in it.
Thanks to mobile phones that let us entertain while on the go.
The mobile phones getting launched nowadays come with super
impressive features related to entertainment. Mobile
manufacturers know it pretty well that entertainment is demand
of today. This is the reason why mobile phones are nothing
less than complete portable entertainment devices.
 Bad Impact on Studies is the students are just addicted
to mobile phones. They can be seen playing games, chatting,
and talking to their friends on their mobile phones most of
the time. This is the reason why they do not get time for
studies. In fact, students are more interested in wasting
their time on mobile phones, rather than spending it on
studying. In terms of Accident and Health Issues most of the
accidents that happen daily arise because of mobile phones.
The mobile phones have resulted in dangerous driving, whose
direct impact can be seen in increasing number of accidents.
Apart from accidents, mobile phones have bad impact on health
as well. (Hailey, 2017)

According to Schreiner (2018),that along with their books

and school supplies, most high school and college students and
many younger students makes their daily trip to school with
their trusty mobile phone. Mobile phones connect students to
one another, to educational resources, and to a potential host
of distractions. The presence of mobile phones presents both
opportunities and challenges for today’s students. Mobile
phones can be a helpful academic tool, or a hurtful academic
disruption depending upon the attitude and use pattern of the
students and the policies of the schools they attend.

This is the positive and negative impacts of mobile

phones on our lives. These is no doubt mobile necessity these
days, but we should take care of negative points too and use
this technology accordingly.

ADVANTAGES OF USING MOBILE PHONES

Braza(2017), state the 10 advantages of using Mobile

Phone. (1) is the Connected to the world, users are always
connected to their family, friends, and other relatives with
the help of mobile phone. (2)is Business, today of millions of
people is connected with the business of mobile phones, and
day by day the job opportunities are creating for new
youngster. (3) is Students Applications, there’s a lot of
learning applications for students in app store that can help
to them in learning according to their subjects. (4) is
entertainment, because of the cartoons, games and other
entertaining materials brings of mobile phone, this is good
thing that small children are always in the homes under the
eyes of their parents. (5) is location knowing GPS, it helps
to know the location with the help of GPS during travelling,
it can also help in case of emergency.(6) is fashion point, it
says that today’s world mobile phones is the statement of
fashion, without good quality cell you would be hesitate to
participate in functions. (7) is alarm notes and reminders, it
is the best solution for the problem of being late, it can
also add help to the users of adding notes and reminders. (8)
is hundred of utilities, like calendars, camera, calculator,
flashlight and etc. (9) is data transferring, it is easy to
share or transferring a photos, documents, videos from one
device to another device. (10) is legal situations, because
sometimes mobile users are facing of legal issues in their
life, so it can be solve by mobile with proof of call
recording or sms data recovery.

DISADVANTAGES OF MOBILE PHONES

The researchers found that using mobile phone also has a

lot of disadvantages. According to Laura’s, Braza (2017) the
disadvantages of using mobile phone are, WASTE OF TIME AND
MONEY, users are wasting their time and money because of
mobile phone. WASTE OF ENERGY, it is another biggest factor
that effects on human health. It is cause of waste the energy
during use of mobile phones, and all parts of human body are
spending energy on it, like, eyes, hand, and mind etc. CAUSE
OF DISEASES, mobile phone can cause of skin diseases
especially hand skin, cancer and eye problems etc.,and a lot
of other diseases can be effect the body by its high usage.
STUDY LOSS because of much using of mobile phone, and at the
end of the study session they got very bad results and many of
them got fail in class room. LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE, using of
phone during driving can cause of accident and death. SPEAK
LIES, sometimes everybody speak lies while taking on mobile
phones which is fraud and make people more liar. DISTRACTIONS,
sometimes it’s so hard to work when your phone is tempting you
to pick it up. SECURITY ISSUES, if someone taps in to your
data they could steal your identity, pilfer your photos, and
erase your contacts list.

BENEFITS OF MOBILE DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM

The mobile approach can encourage student engagement with

the content. Likes, students are can answer polls, tweet
questions, and look up information during their lectures. In
addition, to finding real-time information, applications can
also provide a student with a convenient study tool. Consider
that there are a good number of book publishers now putting
their content online it means that a student can leverage
course content on the go(Ferriman, 2013).

Based on Wainwright (2012), working with mobile devices

will not only be a part of their everyday lives as adults, but
it will also be vital part of many career paths. In order to
properly PREPARE THE STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE as they
transition into the workforce, incorporating mobile technology
in the classroom is the key for preparing the students to
their future. Having a mobile phone can help the students of
being UP-TO-DATE LEARNER, it helps them to access to the
latest news, information, statistics, and keeping them
connected with what’s going on around them and ensuring they
are always well informed with the most up-to-date information.
ALTERNATIVE TO TEXTBOOKS, today’s generation has grown
accustomed to instant, updated information. Many digital
textbooks are constantly updated and often more vivid,
helpful, creative, and a lot cheaper than those old heavy
books. If students are really excited and engaged in learning
inside of the classroom, they are likely to continue LEARNING
OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM and they can do so with mobile
technology. By allowing mobile devices in school you can
expand learning outside of the classroom. Plus students love
technology so they learning apps, digital textbooks, etc. on
mobile devices allows them to get in extra studying and
learning in during downtime.

MOBILE PHONE IN THE CLASSROOM

This study found that the students use their device for
Google and calendars during the school days. As for learning
at home, most students also rely on their device. The
calendar, alarms and camera usually to take photos of a
teacher’s notes are featured constantly used by student’s, the
report notes. On student said, his device was essential for
“remembering things”, and without he would forget to take
homework in a lot. There is clear evidence that many students
feel that they are deriving educational benefit from the use
of their devices. They are using many of the features of their
devices and often finding creative ways to employ these
features in their schoolwork, both at home and at school.
Overall, this study is proposes that mobile devices are a
suitable learning tool for the classroom (Russell, 2018).
 Both schools and parents have a role to play in boundary
setting, providing guidance with appropriate and inappropriate
phone use, and teaching self-regulation and self-control
skills. Parents can and should serve as appropriate role
models for mobile use. That’s not to say that parents should
only use their mobile phone in private but they should try to
employ the same phone etiquette they are trying to teach their
children. Ultimately, school is a microcosm of wider society.
Just as using mobile phone may be unacceptable during a job
interview, neither is it in the middle of a classroom. Knowing
that certain behaviors is acceptable in some places, but not
in others is at the crux of how young people can better use
mobile phones responsibly and fruitfully at school(Allen,
2017).

THE MOBILE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE MOST USED AND DOWNLOADED

Based on Sag. Ipi(2018),Mobile apps are one of the

reasons why mobile phones are so much popular today. These
apps are what make the phones and tablets smart, in terms of
functionality and features. The app market is going through a
positive revolution with hundreds of new applications being
introduced every day.

The mobile applications that are most used and downloaded

are; WhatsApp, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram,
Snapchat, UC Browser, Uber, YouTube, SHAREit, Bitmoji,Google
Search, Google Play, Google Maps, Gmail, ICloud, Amazon
Mobile, Twitter, Netflix App, Google, and Pinterest.

Theories of technology and application

With the rapid development of ubiquitous computing and

mobile communication technologies, the traditional business
model will change drastically. As a logical extension of e-
commerce and m-commerce, Watson proposed the concept of
ubiquitous commerce(u-commerce) in 2000. As the next
generation business model, it immediately triggered a lot of
attention among academic circle, enterprises and governmental
agency. Not only many foreign universities and institutions
joined this research project, but also many companies such as
Accenture begun the application research of u-commerce. To
facilitate the development of better u-commerce research and
application, it is important to propose a suitable
classification scheme and organize the commerce research under
the proposed classification scheme. The contribution of this
paper is to proposed theoretical framework.
 THE EVOLUTION OF WEB DEVELOPMENT FOR MOBILE DEVICES

It has been remarkable rise of mobile computing. Mobile

phones used to be extremely limited devices that were best
used for making phone calls and sending short text messages.
Today’s mobile phones are more powerful than the computers
that took Apollo 11 to the moon, with the ability to send data
to and form nearly anywhere. Combine that with 3G and 4G
networks for data transfer, and now using the Internet while
on the go is faster than my first Internet connection, which
featured AOL and a 14.4-kbps dialup modem.

Yet despite these powerful advances in mobile computing,

the experience of Web browsing on a mobile device is often
frustrating. The iPhone opened up the “real” Internet to
Smartphone users. This was important because developers no
longer had to write mobile-specific interfaces in custom
languages such as WAP (Wireless Application Protocol).
Instead, all existing Web sites and applications worked
perfectly on the iPhone. At least that was the idea. Cell
Phones and Change As cell phones become widespread, they are
“something that most students use on daily basis” (Pietrzyk et
al,. 2011,p.8).Pettit & KukulskaHulme(2007)found that all
their study’s participants used cell phones but only half of
them used PDAs or MP3 players. They found that the
participants engage in informal learning using their cell
phones when they travel by buses or trains.

The most uses cited in a Pettit & KukulskaHulme (2007)

study of cell phones are text messages, browsing the web, and
audio materials. Other uses of cell phone included recording
voices, and reading e-books. Cell phones were able to add many
changes to the culture, identities, needs, habits, and
lifestyle of their users in ways that fit with how these
technologies work. For example, because cell phones are
portable, people have changed the way they spend time while
they are waiting. They used to read books, newspapers, or
create short conversations with others who were waiting, too.
Now, because everyone is carrying his or her cell phone,
people tend to play games, browse the Internet or read their
emails using their cell phones while they are waiting. Not
only has the way of spending time been changed because of cell
phones, but also the way that minds function has changed. Cell
phones also change the way that information and learning are
produced and consumed (Traxler, 2010).

Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are

available on mobile phones and play a role in delivering
learning. Another change in learning that was influenced by
cell phones is the way of displaying the content because their
screens are small and the input options are limited, the
educational content is provided in small units or chunks. Cell
phones change the way that students read books. Digitalizing
books allow students to read a book from their mobiles while
they move. Moreover, Text-to-Speech software allows students
to listen to their books. Because people carry their mobile
phones anywhere and all the time, and they are able to connect
to the internet anywhere and anytime, millions of users tap
into social networks via their Smartphones, such as iPhones,
Android or Blackberries (Kharif, 2010).Accessing social
networks through smartphones facilitates connecting people to
others more than ever. Friends now update each other about
their location, what they are doing,and what they eating
minute by minute. The use of social networks has destroyed the
boundaries between private and public, as mobile phones did.
Using cell phones makes socializing faster, and eases the way
people communicate.

Figure No.2. Negative Influence

 Mobile phone is becoming more and more important in
people’s daily life. But phones bring positive and negative
influence and effects, people in these day never left their
phone, is like part of their body especially the teens or
school youth. Phone do a good job on making our life more
easily, but there are more positive than negative. Most of the
respondents of this study state that the most influential
thing of mobile phone to them is “communicate easily” it gets
the 19% which is the higher response of the students to the
given positive influence of the researchers. There is no doubt
that the widespread of mobile technology has made
communicating with each other much, much easier. Back in the
1950’s, getting a hold of someone meant calling them on their
house phone, work phone or visiting them at their home. There
were no pagers or mobile phones, and certainly no texting,
email or instant messaging of any kind, years ago, it was
actually a useful form of communication.

While the most negative influence for them are answered

of this. More distractions like texting with a friend all day
and all night, mobile games, always watching movies or in
YouTube, social media like Facebook and other non sense thing
factor of mobile phone. Texting a friend is a tempting
diversion that many students select over listening to a
lecture or completing a class assignment. If not silenced,
cell phones can ring during class, drawing everyone’s
attention away from the lesson and disrupting the flow o
learning. Many teachers worry that this added distraction
negatively impacts student’s school performance as it stops
them from dedicating their full attention to their studies.

The mobile approach can encourage student engagement with

the content. Like, students can answer polls, tweet questions,
and look up information during their lectures. In addition, to
finding real-time information, applications can also provide a
student with the convenient study tool. Consider that there
are a good number of book publishers now putting their content

possibilities when it comes to digital learning. For-profit
Corporations are jumping on board, but the educational
industry is largely leading the way for innovation in this
space (Ferriman, 2013).

Learning new methods is one of the benefits can get by

the students thought using mobile phone, and “learning new
methods” gets the higher percentage in this study. Because of
the introduction of applications in the education sector has
led to the introduction of new learning methods. There are fun
games available on mobile applications that indulge the
students into a healthy thought process and help them
understanding things from a different perspective.

Young people conduct their social lives through their

phones, and instinctively turn to them first for news,
information-sharing and entertainment. By capitalizing on
familiarity with mobile, education can motivate today’s
digital natives through new and innovative ways of learning.

today social media is a part of human life. It can’t deny that
maybe young ages today has their own Facebook account and they
have already social life. Social media has a lot of positive
effects on the users and using Facebook youth can learn about
something that may help to their study, but it also has a
negative effect and if young users can’t manage themselves on

connected with the current and perspective students, faculty,
staff, alumni donors, and any other individual already using

their target audience in a very direct way and keep them
updated on new events, developments, updates, and changes, or
just to keep awareness raised.

RECOMMENDATION

Gibson (2012), give a guide to choosing educational apps,

he said that there are many lists of educational applications
readily available but it is important that, as a professional,
you are able to critically examine an application and
determine if it is appropriate for the students learning
profiles. With this end in mind, it have created a set of
criteria that will guide in finding an app to meet the
students needs. Although this checklist was developed with
supporting students with LD’s in mind it could repurpose this
checklist to find apps to support or engage all of the
students.
