CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

The young of today are growing up in an era where technology is always

available to them. The expanding field of students are more interested in social

media platforms and websites. Moreover, in today’s world, mobile devices,

desktops, tablets, free Wi-Fi, gaming consoles, and electronic toys are all the

rage. Pupils are being raised in a period where technology is a trendy trend in

business. According to Klopfer, et al. (2009), every day, numerous kids are

wasting numerous hours on popular platforms like Facebook, MySpace, Sim City,

World of Warcraft, etc. Students' lives are heavily reliant on technology.

Technology integration in the classroom has proven to be beneficial. Although

advantageous, there are some disadvantages. Technology has increased student

willingness and engagement while also allowing to improve learning "The need for

construction and engagement," said Fisher et al. (2014). It means that the best

types of learning will be those in which the student has choices and learning

where meaningful contexts exist in which the student is engaged.

Technology and academic performance are two of the most important

aspects of a typical student's life. This study seeks to determine the extent to

which technology influences students' academic performance. There is a strong


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 3

need to incorporate various beneficial aspects of technology into classroom

teachings. Instead of outright condemning student technology use, educational

systems and academics should try to encourage it. Make it a part of the

educational curriculum. The longer academicians try to stick to the age-old

teaching method from a constrained boundary of class and books, the more we

deprive students of the necessary skill sets required to bring about change and

leadership.

This study should be useful to legislators, school administrators, and

educators because most of our schools are turning to technology to aid and assist

in classroom learning. Such a valuable addition to any school or classroom.

Teachers can truly differentiate and tailor instruction to meet the needs of their

students thanks to the use of technology. With the new Common Core State

Standards being implemented and the new appraisal process being fully

embraced by the state of Illinois, technology and being technologically literate is

such an important skill for educators, but more importantly, students. High stakes

testing and accountability have plagued school districts around the country since

No Child Left Behind was implemented.

Administrators and school officials have attempted a variety of technology

integration into curricula is one of the solutions to increase student engagement

and academic success in the classroom.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

The scope of our study is to find on how technologically skilled of ICT

senior high school students affects their academic performances in Sto. Domingo

Integrated Highschool (SDIHS) S.Y 2022-2023. The main purpose of our study is

to point out the relationship between the technology skills of senior high school

students and their academic performance. We aim to determine whether it’s hard

or easy for them to accomplish their school activities. The study only focuses on

technologically skills and its relations to the academic performance of the selected

students.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study aims to determine the skills in technology of ICT senior high school

students and its relationship with their academic performances.

Specifically, the study seeks to find answers to the following:

1. What is the respondents’ level of skill in technology?

2. What is the academic performance of the respondents?

3. Is there a significant relationship between technologically skilled and

academic performance?
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 5

4. What action plan can be proposed to improve the skill in technology and

academic performance of 11 ICT students?

HYPOTHESIS

There is no significant relationship between the technology skills and the

academic performance of ICT senior high school students of Sto. Domingo

Integrated Highschool S.Y 2022-2023.

THEORETICAL/CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Dweck, C. S. (1999) stated that students believe that their ability or skills is

fixed, probably at birth, and there is very little if anything they can do to improve it

is called fixed IQ theorists. They believe ability comes from talent rather than

from the slow development of skills through learning. Either you can do it with a

little effort, or you will never be able to do it, so you might as well give up in the

face of difficulty. E.g., “I can’t do technology related activities”. And untapped

potential theorists, students believe that ability and success are due to learning,

and learning requires time and effort. In the case of difficulty, one must try harder,

try another approach, or seek help etc.

The theory of academic performance (ToP) emanates from Elger (2007),

and the author described ‘perform’ as an ability to produce a valued result and
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 6

‘performer’ as an individual or a group that engages in collaboration while the

level of performance as the location in an academic journey.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Technology is the application of knowledge to reach practical goals in a

specifiable and reproducible way. The word technology may also mean the product

of such an endeavor. The use of technology is widely prevalent in medicine,

science, industry, communication, transportation, and daily life.

Academic Performance is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has

attained their short or long-term educational goals. Completion of educational

benchmarks such as secondary school diplomas and bachelor's degrees represent

academic achievement.

Skills is the learned ability to act with determined results with good execution often

within a given amount of time, energy, or both. Skills can often be divided into

domain-general and domain-specific skills.

Ability the quality or state of being able; competence in doing something; defined

as the knowledge, experience, and skill that an individual or group brings to a

particular task or activity.

Untapped Potential it is the potential that isn’t used or discovered yet by a person.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents the reviewed allied documents like different literature and

studies taken from books, internet, printed materials, etc. These strengthen the

deeper understanding of this study.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY ON STUDENT’S LIFE

(Ramirez et al., 2021) Every day, the use of new technologies such as

smartphones, tablets, videogame consoles, and Internet access becomes more

widespread and begins at a younger age. This increase in use has heightened

concern about the consequences of technology use and its impact on the

emotional and cognitive development of children and adolescents. For example, a

UK report found that internet use among children and early adolescents aged 5 to

15 increased from 9 hours per week in 2007 to 15 hours in 2016. Furthermore, a

recent report in the United States discovered that children and adolescents under

the age of 12 engaged with technology devices at a high rate, and 71% of parents

were at least somewhat concerned.


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 10

Hurwitz & Schimtt (2020) stated that we used longitudinal parent survey data to

further this debate by examining the relationship between early Internet use and

academic performance in late elementary/early middle school. Even if educational

policymakers' optimism about technology is justified, we predicted that simply

spending time online might not result in gains in school-related skills. To effectively

use and learn from technology, a certain level of digital skill is required, which

includes abilities such as successfully navigating websites (Deursen & van Dijk,

2009). These are skills that children can use to support their own learning, such as

looking up information for assignments and efficiently preparing written reports

(Pagani et al., 2016), and that parents may be able to tap into.

Based on the study of Gana et al., (2021) every day, more people are

using new technology, such as cellphones, tablets, videogame consoles, and

Internet access, in greater numbers and at younger ages (1). With increased use

comes increased worry about the negative effects of technology use and how it

affects young people's emotional and cognitive growth (1). For instance, a UK

study found that children and young adolescents aged 5 to 15 used the internet

more often, going from 9 hours per week in 2007 to 15 hours per week in 2016.

(2). Additionally, a recent study in the United States discovered that youngsters

under the age of 12 were highly engaged with digital devices, and 71% of the

parents expressed at least some level of concern about this.

According to Cullen (2022), The use of technology in teaching and

learning is referred to as technology enhanced learning (TEL). Although it is a

broad category with few specific definitions, it is completely altering education and

educational institutions. As a result, it cannot be disregarded! Let's examine TEL to

see why it matters for educators. Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) – what is

it? Any technology that improves the learning process is known as technology

enhanced learning. Both analog and digital technologies can be referred to by the

word, but more recently, we have witnessed the rise of digital TEL in education

through the use of various forms of instructional software. Beyond any recognition,

TEL is improving and revolutionizing education and educational institutions.

According to Ward & L. A. (2022), The debate over whether or not

classrooms should utilize a 1:1 technology strategy has centered on the role of

technology in education. In a classroom context, technology is often used on a

daily basis in some way, but schools have been experimenting with the 1:1

technology approach over time. These prompts interested parties to wonder

whether 1:1 technology in educational systems benefits the pupils. This study of

the literature examines a number of aspects of 1:1 technology in the classroom.

The investigation will first examine the various perspectives held by students and

teachers. The discussion will then turn to student involvement in the classroom.

Finally, it will look at how well students perform academically while using a 1:1

technology approach.

  Based on the study of Suresh et al. (2018), Technology enhancement

learning is a technique that adds technology knowledge and takes learning to a

deeper level. Numerous studies have shed light on the growth of technology and

its impact on the educational sector. This integrative review's objective is to

investigate the most recent data regarding how technology learning affects

academic achievement and student learning in courses that call for group projects

or other collaborative activities. The writers used a variety of learning approaches

to scan internet databases for pertinent publications. 24 articles fit the criteria for
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 13

the paper, which was gathered from (2011-2017). Technology enhanced learning,

evaluation methods, and faculty knowledge of academic achievement in

universities with technology utilization are three topics of strategies employed for

student learning outcomes. The study's conclusions demonstrate the connection

between what was accomplished and the variables that the authors used.

Additionally, the usage of technology at various stages of the in the future.learning

process will be increased

Based on the study of García-Martínez et al., (2020) The Information and

communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly being employed in both formal

and informal learning environments as a component of the teaching process. As

they will soon be a part of society's productive sector, it is crucial to comprehend

how university students feel about using ICT in this context. The purpose of this

study was to examine the opinions of students who were pursuing different

degrees in their last years at a university in Costa Rica. With 1187 pupils

, we used a non-experimental transactional design and probabilistic sampling. We

measured attitudes using a questionnaire with Likert-type scales that was divided

into sections for affective, cognitive, and behavioral factors. The outcomes

demonstrated generally positive attitudes, greater scores in the cognitive and

behavioral components, and moderate scores in.

According to Acevedo-Borrega (2022) An evaluation of the effects of


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 14

technology integration in teaching-learning processes is required for the digital

transformation of educational systems. On the one hand, Information and

Communication Technologies are defined as the set of technologies that contain,

store and distribute information and on the other hand, those technologies

designed for short use. Academic achievement is one of the most widely used

variables to try to understand how information and communication technologies

affect student learning outcomes There has been little improvement in

performance attributed to the use of ICT, although other reviews have shown

positive results. The research is not conclusive, and more studies are needed on

this complex relationship. A systematic review was carried out using the Education

Resources Information Center's educational database as a documentary source

and research articles on academic performance and ICT use were selected. There

was evidence of improved performance in educational practices enriched with ICT.

The areas of greatest interest to researchers are mathematics and science, and

the educational systems most focused on competitiveness and educational

selectivity are the most productive. There are discrepancies between the macro-

studies of international organizations and the micro- studies analyzed in this

review.

According to Prassana et al (2019) Small and medium-sized businesses

(SMEs) are recognized as an engine of sustainable economic development in both

developed and developing nations in the era of economic globalization. In the


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 15

literature, industrial entities in the current globalized economy face three

competitive challenges: the sustainability challenge, the global challenge, and the

technological challenge. This paper is one of them. It conducts a systematic review

of the existing research on the topic of small and medium-sized enterprises

(SMEs) and technology in order to determine the relationship between SMEs'

technological advancement and their ability to survive in today's global

competition. Social capital, connection to Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) and

Transnational Corporations (TNCs), innovation, sharing and networking,

information technology, and adoption of productivity-enhancing technology were

identified as the six driving forces that influence technological advancement in

SMEs. In addition, the review identified two prerequisites for the SME sector's

successful technological adaptation: the availability of technologically skilled

workers in the economy and the identification of new technology opportunities in

the competition. These conditions highlight the importance of economies'

readiness for SMEs' success when viewed in the macro environment.

According to Crompton (2022) The psychological processes that underlie

teaching and learning with these tools are receiving a greater amount of attention

as the amount of research on the use of educational technologies grows. Through

the lens of educational psychology theory, we examine six contemporary

technologies identified in the 2020 edition of the Horizon Report in this research

review. In particular, we draw attention to the educational, cognitive, and social-


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 16

psychological processes that take place when using each technology for teaching

and learning. We also show how taking these processes into account can help with

research, use, and learning outcomes.

Lai & Bower (2019) stated that, the use of technology in education has been

evaluated using a wide range of methodologies, contexts, and perspectives. It is

challenging to acquire a precise understanding of the various aspects of learning

that are evaluated and the possible evaluation methods due to the extensive

literature on learning technology evaluation. Based on 365 papers that were

published in Computers and Education between 2015 and 2017, this study

conducted a systematic review of how technology use in education has been

evaluated. The papers that were looked at covered a wide range of education

levels, fields of study, and technologies, which were generally in line with how

other studies had described the learning technology field. The analysis revealed

that eight themes dominated the evaluation of learning technology use: Affective

elements, behaviors, learning outcomes, design, technology elements, pedagogy,

presence, and the institutional setting Although a wide variety of instruments were

observed within sub-themes of evaluation, the majority of studies (66.6%) used at

least one established instrument to assess the efficiency of learning technology

use. Identified are the 22 instruments used in multiple studies to evaluate a feature

of educational technology use. Trends in evaluation are also established for

various fields of study, technologies, and educational levels. When evaluating the
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 17

use of technology in education, educators and researchers can use the findings to

develop an analytical framework that could potentially guide the creation of new,

more comprehensive, and more robust evaluation methods.

Faqih et al., (2021) stated that in various fields, augmented reality (AR) has

gained more attention, particularly in educational settings. Home-based learning

became a reality following the COVID-19 pandemic and is already in place all over

the world. Learning with augmented reality technology will help students

comprehend learning content in a more creative way than ever before. The

adoption behavior of augmented reality from the perspective of developing nations

has been the subject of very little research. In order to motivate and inspire

students to adopt this highly innovative and impactful type of technology in the

learning process, it is urgently necessary to comprehend the dynamics of

augmented reality adoption. The authors came up with and tried a model that

combined the task-technology fit (TTF) and UTUAT2 theories in this context. In the

adoption process of augmented reality in educational settings, where price value is

found to have little influence on behavioral intention, the findings demonstrate that

task technology fit, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, a

facilitating condition, and hedonic motivation have a positive effect on behavioral

intention (BI). 49% of the variation in the intention to adopt augmented reality (AR)

technology in the educational setting can be explained by this model. The findings

of this study will add more useful information to the existing body of research,
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 18

making people more aware of the dynamics and behaviors of AR adoption from a

developing country's perspective.

Scherer et a., (2018) says that for a long time, research has focused on how

much teachers use technology in their classrooms. The Technology Acceptance

Model (TAM) and variants of it have dominated the field among a plethora of

models that explain influential factors and mechanisms of technology use in

classrooms. Although there is agreement regarding which aspects of the TAM

could predict teachers' adoption of technology, the current field is fraught with

disagreements and inconsistent results. By combining structural equation modeling

and meta-analysis, this meta-analysis aims to clarify some of these issues. In

particular, we evaluated the fit of the TAM and its variants by synthesizing 124

correlation matrices from 114 empirical TAM studies (N = 34,357 teachers).

Overall, the TAM provides a clear explanation of technology acceptance. However,

the significance of external variables and certain key constructs contrasts with

some previously held beliefs regarding the TAM.

Selwyn (2018) says that nowadays, it is assumed that using technology in

education is a "good thing." This reaction is partly due to the widespread belief

held by many educators that the processes of teaching and learning will be

radically altered by information and communications technology (ICT). Over the

course of the past two decades, advocates of educational technology have

developed this trust into an unquestioning orthodoxy that now dominates and
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 19

shapes most discussions of technology and education. For instance, pointing out

that personal computers haven't had the expected far-reaching and transformative

impact on schools over the past two decades is likely to elicit some hostility.

Indeed, many educators regard challenging technological orthodoxy as heresy,

implying that one is somehow obstructive and illiterate. to be a component of the

issue rather than its solution.

SELF-EFFICACY AND MOTIVATION FOR STUDENTS LEARNING

Based on the study of Al-ghadri et al., (2019) the process of providing

knowledge and skills that enable individuals, communities, and societies to

develop is known as education. Academic performance is used as a proxy for

education, allowing both individuals and governments to assess a person's level of

achievement. The environment and the background of the pupils are just two of the

numerous factors that have an impact on academic success. This investigation

was made in order to better understand the influences on students' academic

performance. To address the research objectives and test the research hypothesis,

descriptive and quantitative methodologies were used in the study. Through

questionnaires and mimeograph, data was gathered. According to the data

gathered, there are discrepancies and correlations between students' academic

achievement before entering the university and university.


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 20

According to Helas (2018) A course's or program's capacity to

anticipate student success offers chances to enhance educational results.

Instructors can more correctly manage resources and training with the help of

effective performance prediction tools. The goal of this research is to find

algorithms that can improve forecasts, attributes that can be utilized to create

predictions, and ways to quantify student achievement. Research on student

performance prediction also looks for related qualities and the underlying causes of

why some traits are more effective than others. In this working group report, work

on predicting student performance has been thoroughly reviewed in the literature.

Our study reveals both a clearly rising level of research in this field and a rising

level of approach diversity. The same time

Based on the Study of Kassarnig et al., (2018) Identifying the factors that

influence academic performance is an essential part of educational research. The

importance of personality traits, class attendance, and social network structure

have been documented before. Most of the analyses were based on a single

behavioral aspect and/or small sample sizes, so there is currently no way to

quantify the interplay of these factors. We studied the academic performance of a

group of undergraduate students who formed a single, densely connected social

network. The students used their primary phones for two years to collect data. The

availability of multi-channel data from a single population allows us to compare the

explanatory power of individual and social characteristics. The most informative


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 21

indicators of performance are based on social ties and network indicators result in

better model performance than individual characteristics. The most important

predictor of individual characteristics is class attendance. Our results show the

presence of peer effects among university students.

Based on the Study of Brew et al., (2021) Every educational system

considers the academic performance of students at the Senior High School to be

paramount. Many problems persist despite the fact that numerous factors influence

the academic performance of students. A literature review in this area will give the

gaps and areas that need more research and will help curb the situation. The

current paper uses a narrative review method to review the literature on the

academic performance of students at Senior High Schools. The paper showed how

these factors affect academic performance and the need for them to be minimized

to improve students' academic performance. Truancy affects academic

performance greatly and sometimes leads to school dropout, according to the

study. The study found that other factors such as students’ parental levels of

education and income, textbooks availability and accessibility, libraries, practical

laboratory, meals provision and teachers have tremendous effects on the

academic performance of students at school Students who are above average in

school are more likely to be exposed to these factors.


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 22

Based on the study of Suresh et al., (2018) For many students, college has

altered because of e-learning. Tech-savvy members of the Net generation are

using online classrooms and other forms of online learning instead of sitting

through college courses and taking notes. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire

was created and given to a variety of undergraduate students, and the results were

evaluated. Results: According to the results, e-learning has a positive impact on

undergraduate students' academic performance. Conclusion:

In general, traditional learning is expensive, takes a lot of time, and has variable

outcomes. An alternative that is quicker, less expensive, and possibly better is

provided through e-learning. E-learning must be put into practice and easily

accessible to everyone.

Based on the study of Benítez et al., (2019) The main interest of this

study was to evaluate the degree of association that the use of ICT could have to

school performance in mathematics, within a limited geographical area. Thanks to

the International Student Assessment Program, the information was gathered

(PISA). Participating were 1376 pupils from the Canary Islands. A mixed research

approach was applied, in which a linear hierarchical model (HLM) analysis was

used to evaluate the features of students and schools in order to acquire the best

approximation to the phenomena. The outcomes showed improvements in

academic achievement brought about by the efficient use of ICT. It was

demonstrated that, barring inappropriate use, ICT can improve learning.


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 23

According to Yu et al., (2021) the structural links between academic

achievement/performance in blended learning, self-regulated learning, teachers'

dependability, and ICT literacy were examined. Participants filled out a 41-item

questionnaire in total anonymity that looked at their self-regulated learning,

judgments of the legitimacy of their teachers, ICT literacy, academic performance,

and demographic background. Path analyses showed that, with the exception of

competence, there was a substantial correlation between the subscales of teacher

credibility (caring and trustworthiness) and academic success. Additionally, ICT

literacy and caring both strongly predicted trustworthiness and self-regulated

learning, respectively. Self-regulated learning is favorably correlated with academic

achievement, compassion, and dependability. The results also showed that

compassion and trustworthiness were mediators of the effect of self-regulated

learning on academic achievement. Implications for practice or policy: (1) By

raising students' perceptions of their teachers, college instructors can improve

students' academic performance. The results also showed that the effect of self-

regulated learning on academic performance was moderated by both compassion

and dependability. Implications for practice or policy include the following: (1)

College teachers can improve students' academic performance by increasing

students' perceptions of their caring and trustworthiness; (2) College teachers may

need to provide more opportunities for students to self-regulate their learning;

(3) College teachers can express care towards their students to improve individual

relationships as well as have a positive impact on the climate in the classroom and
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 24

subsequently win the students' trust; and (4) College governors may need to

consider implementing the recommendations of the study.

Based on the study of Amponsah, et al., (2022) investigated how junior high school

(JHS) students used the internet and how that affected their academic

performance. Through random sampling, information from students was gathered

using a questionnaire, and it was then examined using descriptive statistics and an

independent samples t-test. The findings showed that SHS students have access

to the internet through school ICT labs, mobile devices, family internet facilities,

and commercial internet cafés. Additionally, having internet connection has an

impact on kids' academic standards because those with it have showed a greater

improvement in their grades than those without. The results, on the other hand,

showed that different internet use has no effect on academic achievement.As a

result, it was advised that the Heads of Institutions coordinate with other

stakeholders to provide managerial assistance for internet facilities. It was also

suggested that the School ICT Laboratories be well-equipped with internet facilities

to help student study and that students be taught how to utilize search engines to

look up academic content online. This is crucial since having access to the internet

at school is crucial for improving academic performance.

According to Asio & John Mark R. (2020) there are many difficulties and

barriers abound in the academic setting. Students encourage some unusual study
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 25

methods using this concept. Procrastination in academic work is one of them. In

this study, information and communication technology (ICT) students from a

teacher training institution were examined in connection to their academic

procrastination and academic performance. For this study, the researcher

employed a descriptive-correlational research approach. During the academic year

of 2018–2019, 90 students participated in the survey using a convenience sample

methodology. The survey utilized in this study was an adjusted instrument for data

collection. Additionally, SPSS 20 was used in the study to evaluate the data. The

findings indicated that the respondents put off their academic work. Professional

education courses received the lowest rating score for academic performance,

while major topics received the highest.

According to the Study of Akpur (2020), people have seen rapid information

transmission and globalization over the past few decades, which has exposed

them to economic, social, and technological developments on a scale that has

never been seen before (Anagün et al., 2016). Conventional paradigms in the

normal course of existence have been continuously being reversed by the

ubiquitous and hitherto unaccustomed alterations and advancements brought

about by the entirely new phenomenon (CCR, 2015). People who need to keep up

with the latest advancements should be skilled in choosing the right information

from stacks, as well as analyzing, synthesizing, and converting it into new

experiences (Anagün et al.).


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 26

Tadese et al., (2022) stated that in order to solve a community's real

problems, qualified human power must be produced by higher education

institutions [1]. Education is a powerful change agent that promotes social stability

while also improving health, livelihood, and health. It is linked to higher individual

living standards through increased productivity at the microlevel, given that people

who have completed higher education typically have greater access to social and

economic opportunities. Education creates well-informed and skilled human capital

at the macro level, which has been regarded as an engine of economic growth and

positively influences economic development [2]. However, it is not an easy task to

acquire knowledge, values, attitudes, and skills through education; rather, life is a

long and difficult journey. Students are expected to devote a significant amount of

time to studying and must achieve academic success in order to graduate.

According to Tchounwou (2021) The term "academic performance" refers to

a student's level of education-related knowledge, skills, and competencies, which

are frequently measured by their grades in the planned courses. However, it is a

difficult concept to study because it can be evaluated in a variety of ways, not just

using the student's grade point average [8]. College students' performance is

negatively impacted by a number of factors. A student's negative attitude toward

school or study, depressive symptoms, excessive internet use, poor sleep quality,
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 27

inadequate learning strategies, and alcohol or other addictive substance

consumption are all examples.

According to MaCcann (2020) There is a moderate to slight correlation

between academic achievement and students' emotional intelligence. When

emotional intelligence is measured using skill-based tasks rather than rating

scales, the effect is stronger. We offer three explanations for this connection.

Students with higher emotional intelligence perform better in the following areas: 1)

managing emotions at school, such as anxiety about tests and frustration; 2)

forming connections with other students and teachers; and 3) a comprehension of

human motivations, interactions, and social relationships, which is necessary for

humanities courses like English literature and history. We are aware that

approximately 15% of differences in academic performance can be attributed to

differences in students' IQs. 5 percent of the disparity can be attributed to

differences in students' conscientiousness—their attention to detail and ability to

plan. Beyond the effects of IQ and conscientiousness, our study found that skill-

based emotional intelligence tasks, such as how well students understand and

manage emotions, explain an additional 4% of academic performance differences

Pascual et al., (2019) says that Academic performance has long been a

topic of interest for educational professionals. According to Fleischhauer et al., this

outcome is closely related to the teaching-learning process that is focused on a


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 28

specific goal, which is academic success. 2010; (2013, Von Stumm and

Ackerman) Numerous studies have been conducted on the subjects of academic

success or failure, discouragement, and dropping out of school (Covington, 2000;

2018 Balkis). The study by Nieto (2008), which looked at 654 studies conducted

between 1970 and 1990, demonstrates this interest. The author discusses the

evolution of the investigated variables that influence academic success in primary

education over time. In addition, the new century has seen the emergence of novel

and methodological variables like project-based learning, group collaboration,

collaborative work, and the continuous school day. These variables have

traditionally been categorized as personal or contextual in the literature. Socio-

environmental (family, friends, coworkers), institutional (school, school

organization, teachers), and instructional (content, methods, and tasks) variables

make up the first group of variables. Cognitive (intelligence, learning styles) and

motivational (self-image, goals, and values) variables make up the second group

(Zeegers, 2001; Vermunt and Endedijk, 2011). Therefore, if academic performance

is "a construct that can have quantitative and qualitative values, and these values

provide some evidence and a profile of the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and values

developed by the student in the teaching-learning process," then academic

performance is a construct (Edel, 2003, p. 15–16), then brain functions are

necessary to comprehend this process's progression. This relationship can be very

well explained by the findings of neuropsychology in this area (Kolb and Whishaw,

2007; Rosen and others, 2018). Therefore, Sesma et al. claim that, according to
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 29

Zelazo and Carlson (2012) and 2009, executive functions should be the focus of

educational research because they are essential for language development,

literacy (the foundation for learning), and the processing and organization of

received information.

Herrera et al., (2020) stated that numerous studies have examined the

connection between academic achievement and various psychological constructs

like self-concept, personality, and emotional intelligence, according to a review of

the scientific literature. There are two main goals for this work. First, we should

look at the participants' academic achievement, self-concept, personality, and

emotional intelligence in light of their gender and cultural background (European

vs. Amazigh). Second, to determine which aspects of self-concept, personality,

and emotional intelligence are associated with academic success. A final sample

of 407 students enrolled in the previous two years of primary education was used

for this purpose. With an average age of 10.74 years, 192 were boys (47.2%) and

215 were girls (52.8%) by gender. There were 142 Europeans (34.9%) and 265

Amazighs (65.1%) among the cultural groups. The grades in three school subjects

were used to evaluate the academic accomplishments: The Self-Concept Test-

Form 5, the Short-Form Big Five Questionnaire for Children, and the BarOn

Emotional Quotient Inventory were the instruments used to collect data on the

psychological constructs analyzed. Other subjects included mathematics, Spanish,

and the natural sciences. The short version is for youth. Based on the established
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 30

objectives, the students' grades in Spanish Language and Literature varied

according to gender. Similarly, gender-based differences were found in self-

concept, personality, and emotional intelligence. Also, the cultural group's physical

self-concept was different. Regarding the second objective, the academic self-

concept performed better in the predictive analysis for each of the Primary

Education curriculum's subjects. However, this was also true for other aspects of

personality, self-concept, and emotional intelligence. The need for schools to

provide a comprehensive education that emphasizes academic, personal, and

social competences is brought up. Furthermore, more research is needed into the

factors that influence gender differences.

CHAPTER 3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The design of this research was provided on this chapter including its

detailed description of four main components: participants of the study,

instrumentation and validation, procedures of gathering data, as well as the

treatment and analysis of data.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 31

This study aimed to determine the level of technology skills and academic

performance of ICT Students in SDIHS S.Y. 2022-2023 including the relationship

of the variables. This study utilized the descriptive-correlational research design as

it suited as best method in determining the condition of relationship between the

dependent and independent variables (Calderon, 2011, as cited in Lagura, 2021).

The study employed the descriptive-correlational survey method involves

the description, recording, analysis, and the interpretation of the present nature,

composition, or processes of phenomena. According to McDonald and Headlam

(2011, as cited in Lagura, 2021) this is used to gather large-scale data such as

current conditions to generalize.

SOURCES OF DATA

In obtaining data to answer the problems to investigate in this study, the

researcher will use the self-made survey questionnaire to gather the primary

sources of data from ICT Students of Sto. Domingo Integrated Highschool school

year 2022-2023. The secondary data were the various articles, books, internet,

journals, and other related scholarly works with this study.

POPULATION OF THE STUDY


Sto. Domingo Integrated High School
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page | 32

This study dealt on the technology skills of selected ICT students in Sto.

Domingo Integrated Highschool school year 2022-2023. Using Slovin’s formula

with 5 % margin of error, the 65 samples were obtained from 81 population of

senior high school students from different section of senior high in Sto. Domingo

Integrated Highschool. Furthermore, to fairly distribute the number of respondents

per section, the researcher applied the stratified random sampling technique.

According to Mann (2010, as cited in Lagura, 2021), each group of samples

that has the same size, has the same probability of being selected. Thus, based on

the population and the total sample size, selected 43 out of 49 ICT students were

from Grade 11 ICT Narra and 22 out of 32 from Grade 12 ICT Sampaguita.

INSTRUMENTATION AND VALIDATION

The researcher will use a self-made survey questionnaire divided into two

parts. The first part is based on the technology skills that will be assessed by the

respondents and the second part will focus on measuring the level of academic

performance of the ICT students of Sto. Domingo Integrated Highschool school

year 2022-2023.

Since the questionnaire will be a self-made, it will be subjected for validation

through presenting to the panel of experts in research, language teaching, and in

statistics. Their comments and suggestions are essential for its validity. After some

modification, it will be shown to the adviser for final approval. The survey

instrument will also undergo pilot testing for its reliability.

Domingo Integrated Highschool to conduct the study using the selected ICT

students as respondents.

After the approval of the request, the following steps must be followed: a)

The researcher will inform the senior high school homeroom teachers in each

section, ask their permission and assistance to conduct the study; b.) The

researchers will personally administer the research instrument to the respondents

stated the objective of the study and clear instructions for each part of the survey

questionnaires; c) letter of consent will be attached on the survey questionnaires

before the respondents accomplish the survey; and d) tabulated data for statistical

treatment and analysis conforming the Republic Act No. 10173 – Data Privacy Act

of 2012.

The researchers are able to give ---- minutes to their respondents to

accomplish their responses to the given survey questionnaire. Also, the

researchers must go to their corresponding places to collect the responses of their

respondents.

STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA

The following statistical tools were used in the study:

1. Weighted mean and ranking will be used to describe the technology

skills as assessed by the respondents. It will also be used to describe the

respondents’ level of technology skills.

2. Percentage and frequency distribution will be used to describe the

respondents’ academic performance through their average grade and

second quarter remarks given by their homeroom teachers.

3. Pearson r Moment Correlation Coefficient will be utilized to determine

the significant relationship between the technology skills as assessed by the

respondents and the level of their academic performance.
