ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to determine the technological learning materials


limitations and technology learning procedure among the grade 5 and grade 6
students of San Roque Elementary School, affects the facilitation of learning and
students acquisition of knowledge, specifically to technology literacy, learning
materials limitations, and cognitive development. However, these studies
conclude that assisstance from all the stakeholders and also the local or national
government should give their support in this new kind of modality. In additional
studies, as previously noted, TPACK is essential to allowing teachers to
implement ICT in their teaching, as it enables teachers to select and use
hardware and software, identify the affordances (or lack thereof) of specific
features and use the tools in pedagogically appropriate and effective ways
(“TPACK in teacher education: are we preparing teachers to use technology for
early literacy?,” 2017). Therefore, to ascertain solutions for technological learning
materials limitations, and technology learning procedure, encouraging
collaboration and open communications between all the stakeholders must be
implemented.Thereby, asking for assisstance is essential, 40 students from
Grade 5 and Grade 6 participants are surveyed to determined what kind of
necessary solutions would provide encouragement to address the issue. The
results of the survey recognized that collaboration and assisstance between all
the stakeholders is the best strategy to resolve the technological learning
materials limitations and tehcnology learning procedure among the participants.
Providing strategies and alternative solutions that has a better connection with,
effect on, students‟ and teachers everyday lives, and the facilitation of learning
for the sake of quality education.

Keywords: Technological learning materials, technology learning procedure,


facilitation of learning, technology literacy, learning materials limitations.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Technology is not being used to support the kinds of instruction believed

to be most potent, despite an increase in computer access and technology

training (Teacher Technology Change, 2014). The researcher observed that

based on the new K to 12 curriculum standard, technology learning procedures

and technological learning materials are essential to enhance the new skills that

students should master or possess. We need to assess that development to fill

the gap that still exists inside and outside the Department of Education.

One of the most important things to notice is the limitation of technology

learning materials for students to use and develop their technological literacy in

education. These essential tools or equipment are vital and needed to process a

student‟s ability to learn digital and technical skills and their academic purpose.

The researcher cannot solve the whole issue, but it is essential to observe and

recognize the problem and find a way to resolve it.

Specialized learning materials are essential to acquire knowledge and

practice techniques and digital skills to make students familiar, productive, and

literate. All the stakeholders need to ensure that the students have access to this

new platform and equipment. Supposing that the technological learning materials

are insufficient and available for students to use in the actual technology learning

procedure, they cannot demonstrate the basic instruction to show if the students

learn and follow the instruction correctly and experience this new kind of
2

technological learning materials and how they can operate it. Additionally, if the

school cannot provide enough technological learning materials to the learner, all

stakeholder will be affected by the problem because that is the primary tool

needed to demonstrate, facilitate, and understand how this new equipment work.

Based on the study Assistance Provided By Private Entities To

Elementary Schools In San Pablo City, Laguna (Fabros, M. 2019). that the

researcher cited, the study emphasized the private sector and not the local

government or agency in the assistance provided by an organization or entities

and how the private sector can help facilitate and deliver the technological

learning materials needed by the students. The researcher observed that the

local government should be responsible for assisting and providing these new

learning materials for the students, especially those who live in rural or remote

areas because they can finance it. However, we cannot deny that sometimes, the

fund is not enough to provide these kind of technological learning materials

because they have other projects that need to be funded. The government and

school representatives have the power and position to do such things to provide

for their citizens, especially for children who need quality education. Specifically,

this issue is relevant in today‟s needs because of the pandemic situation where

students continue their learning by online or modular schooling where the

teacher use technological learning materials to facilitate learning, particularly for

the subject that needs the integration with this kind of equipment that is very

useful when the teacher demonstrating and giving instruction to the students to

develop their learning in technology literacy. After the critical evaluation of


3

previously cited related literature and study and the conceptual framework

Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK, 2006), the

researcher decided to continue this research to analyze and gather the collected

data that will show how this phenomenon affects the students learning outcome

and interest.

When technological learning materials are not available or insufficient, the

possibility of learning deficiency will occur. That is why it is important to give

information about this particular issue. This study will impact the society,

students, teachers, parents, private and public sector, and all the stakeholders to

know how they can maximize all the resources and assistance they can give and

get from different individuals and organizations. It could also ensure the provision

of quality and global standard education and integrate this new technology, not

just in learning procedures, but also in different activities. Showing the students‟

ability to manipulate technological learning materials responsibly to give all the

students enough learning materials to use and knowledge to experience the

learning in the actual demonstration with interaction with the teacher, an

important process that the student needs to familiarize and experience to

thoroughly understand the different use of it and how this new technology

learning materials can easily use that will increase their capability and skills to be

technological and digital literate to enhance their knowledge in the subject matter

creatively and to develop better opportunities in life in the future.

Background of the Study

The Division of San Pablo City Laguna has 63 public elementary schools.

Those public elementary schools cater to elementary education, consisting of 6

years of schooling, covering Grades 1 to 6 (Fabros, 2019). All of those public

elementary schools operate basically through their monthly funds and allowances

allocated to them, also known as Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses

(MOOE). As defined by Llego (2015), the Maintenance and Other Operating

Expenses are the allocated funds for public elementary and secondary schools.

The fund can be spent on activities and necessities that support learning

programs and help them maintain a safe and healthy environment in all public

schools. Without enough and sufficient funds, an organization cannot start

facilitation and integration to provide the necessary facility and materials needed

to operate an organization like public schools; without a fund, the system could

not effectively work. So, it is imperative to maintain enough funds to support the

needs of an organization, specifically the public school sector, to provide quality

education and global standard for the student to learn effectively and in a

transformative way. Teachers rely on a wide variety of online resources, with

Google, Pinterest, and Microsoft and any digital platform and application that the

teacher can use and access for educational purposes. The issue is not with the

fact that the resources are online. Such materials can be strong, and even

downloading materials for a single lesson can add supplemental value (Jackson

& Makarin, 2018). But providing high-quality materials to teachers and students is

not enough. Instead, the stronger instructional materials make a real difference in
5

providing quality education for students to maximize the resources and tools they

can use and facilitate. According to the report, the review of the evidence,

teachers report using a variety of instructional materials from a wide array of

sources like formal, published curricula or textbooks, and informal, online lessons

or digital interaction; self-developed and district-selected materials; and those

aligned to standards or not (Steiner, 2018). This means that the key

transformation or adaptation from formal to informal instructional materials

becomes wide and broad and needs to develop. The preservice teachers'

pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) development was investigated concerning

integrating technology. Four components of PCK were adapted to describe

technology-enhanced PCK (TPCK). The study examined the TPCK of student

teachers in a multi-dimensional science and mathematics teacher preparation

program that integrated teaching and learning with technology throughout the

program (Niess, 2005). TPCK framework for teacher knowledge for technology

integration is called technological pedagogical content knowledge (originally

TPCK, now known as TPACK, or technology, pedagogy, and content

knowledge). The development of TPACK by teachers is critical to effective

teaching with technology. The nature of technologies (both analog and digital) is

considered and how the inclusion of technology in pedagogy further complicates

teaching (Koehler & Punya Mishra, 2009). This framework described the

difficulties and successes of students and teacher students teaching with

technological learning materials and digital applications. Specifically, the journal

research proposes that the appropriate mindsets must change to include the idea
6

that "teaching is not effective without the appropriate use of information and

communication technologies (ICT) resources to facilitate student learning."

Implications are discussed in teacher education and professional development

programs (“Teacher Technology Change,” 2014). We can integrate both the

traditional and new kinds of teaching to produce a balanced strategy to be used

in facilitating learning because, as we all know, we need to develop first our

literacy in information and communication technologies to be able to know how to

use this kind of tools and equipment or any resources to facilitating a meaningful

student learning. To make these things possible, we need to communicate and

collaborate with the different sectors of our society by asking them for some

assistance through open communication and willingness to develop and integrate

adaptation of this new pedagogy in teaching. Education is a social responsibility.

Although it is primarily the government‟s accountability to ensure that public

schools are adequately equipped with the tools and facilities needed to provide

quality and relevant education and learning materials, private entities are very

much welcome to make contributions that would help address the inadequacies

that confront many of the public schools in the country (Fabros, 2019). The

community and the government should help each other to address some of the

limitations that the public schools are experiencing until now, for example, the

lack of textbooks and other traditional learning materials. Another important

learning material that we need to provide is the technological learning materials,

for example, computers, printers, and a projector that are very helpful to integrate

technology literacy to the students and capture the student's interest and
7

attention. But in real situations, our public schools failed to provide enough

technological materials for the student because of lack of funds, technology, and

equipment. In conclusion, the gap of all the related literature is that they don‟t

focus their study on the limitation. The lack of accessibility of the schools,

teachers, and most importantly, the students in this kind of technological learning

materials can affect education in the technology learning procedure. The

researcher observed in the previous study that their main concern is the

effectiveness, delivery, quality, assistance, and difficulties and successes of

student teachers teaching with technology. The previous study did not

emphasize the accessibility and availability of the technological learning

materials and how this new equipment can be effectively used in the integration

of learning. Their study forgot to include and mention the situation that most

students, parents, and schools cannot provide all these technological learning

materials. It has to be notified and take the necessary action to solve these

shortcoming and limitations. Students learn principally through interactions with

people (teachers and peers) and instructional materials textbooks, workbooks,

instructional software, web-based content, homework, projects, quizzes, and

tests (Chingos et al., 2012). Those instructional material exercises their influence

on learning directly as well as by influencing teachers' instructional choices and

behavior and it makes instructional materials all the more important (“EdReports,”

2020). The main goal of this study is to know why it is important to provide these

technological learning materials in facilitating technology learning procedures,

how it will affect the ability of the student to improve their performance,
8

engagement, and develop a new skill in digital literacy and technology learning,

and how the students integrate the new technological learning materials into their

learning experience and what technological learning materials are suitable for

students for technology learning procedures.

Theoretical Framework

Technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) presents a

dynamic framework for describing teachers' knowledge required for designing,

implementing, and evaluating curriculum and instruction with technology (Niess,

2011). This framework can be implemented by the teachers and use that

particular theory to find an appropriate strategy to facilitate technology learning

for the students. Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler's (2006) TPACK

framework, which focuses on technological knowledge (TK), pedagogical

knowledge (PK), and content knowledge (CK), offers a productive approach to

many of the dilemmas that teachers face in implementing educational

technology (ed-tech) in their classrooms. By differentiating among those three

types of knowledge, the TPACK framework outlines how content (what is being

taught) and pedagogy (how the teacher imparts that content) must form the

foundation for effective ed tech integration. That order is important because the

implemented technology must communicate the content and support the

pedagogy to enhance students' learning experience (Kurt, 2018). TPACK is the

leading theory regarding ed-tech integration in facilitating technology learning

because of the absence of other sufficient theories. This could help the effective

implementation of technology in the classroom that demands different


9

approaches to integrating educational technology to facilitate digital learning and

innovate new teaching styles and technology learning procedures.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to describe the limitations of technological learning

materials and procedures among the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students of San

Roque Elementary School.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1 age;

1.2 sex; and

1.3 grade level?

2. What is the perception of the student-respondents on the limitation in

using technological learning materials in terms of:

2.1 organization and accessibility;

2.2 personalized instruction; and

2.3 suitable learning materials?

3. How can the technology learning procedure be described in the learning

process when it comes to:

3.1 student‟s engagement;

3.2 feedback mechanisms; and

3.3 performance?

4. Is there a significant relationship between the limitations in using

technological learning materials and the assessment of technology

learning procedures?
11

Hypothesis

The study posits that there is no significant relationship between the

limitations in using technological learning materials and the assessment of

technology learning procedures.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study focused on the technological learning materials limitations and

technology learning procedures among the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students of San

Roque Elementary School. Likewise, it tends to find out how it can affect the

students' ability to improve their skills in digital literacy, student engagement,

feedback mechanism, performance, and in following instruction and technology

learning procedure. To acquire and sustain the technological learning materials,

we need to provide the specific and suitable equipment that the teachers will be

using to integrate technology into the subject matter. For example, the

accessibility of the internet, the availability of the technology learning materials,

and the integration of the instruction and learning procedure that the student may

follow. It is important to observe the limitations in terms of providing suitable

technological learning materials for the student to experience the actual

demonstration of the technology learning procedure. The study is limited to

conduct of an actual interview because of health protocol that affects the way the

researcher conducts the study. It may help the researcher to observe the actual

emotions and reactions of the respondents to the survey questions. Whether the

respondents are interested or not, and knew if they had poor or no internet

connectivity. Majority of the researcher respondents cannot access internet


12

connection that affects their immediate response to the survey questions.

Although some students had their own gadgets that they can use to participate in

the study, others are just borrowed it from their relatives or friends. Students lack

of interest and time also affect the study because of their modules and the

platform used specifically in online settings. The lack of knowledge of the

respondent on how to respond in Google Forms also affects the survey gathering

of data.

Significance of the Study

This study would give important information that will help the following

groups of people;

Students. The research could help the student develop their digital

literacy skills and experience and be familiar with any digital equipment and

application platform available in their class. It could give them awareness of the

importance of having enough technological learning materials and enhancing

their learning style or capability to improve their skills and knowledge on how

they can integrate this kind of technology into their learning.

Teachers. The study could show how to integrate teachers' skills in

facilitating learning using this technological learning materials and any

technology platform to be globally competitive, resourceful, and provide quality

education to their students. It can attract the student's attention on how they can

integrate their digital literacy in facilitating learning using the technological

learning materials on their activities in actual learning through the technology

learning procedure. Collaboration with peers, colleagues, and the community to


13

have open communication to enhance and adapt technological learning materials

can be exercised to better facilitate technology learning procedures.

Schools. The research could identify the kind of technological learning

materials they need to appropriately provide for their student and how the school

can sustain and maintain those equipment or learning materials. The result can

help find alternative resources and seek financial help and assistance to any

public or private sector to provide enough technological learning materials to

facilitate the technology learning procedure. This could also establish

coordination among the community, parents, students, schools, and especially

the local and national government and private sector.

Society. This study could show information to secure a conducive learning

environment for all students and adapt the new curriculum, the K to 12 curricula

with the integration of technology in learning procedures and to protect the

interest of the school and the students and all the stakeholders. It could also help

provide appropriate and suitable guidelines to be followed by the students,

teachers, and even the school, parents, and the community on how to be a

responsible user of the technological learning materials to make sure that the

technological tools are productively used in the integration and facilitation of

technology learning procedure.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents a review of related literature and studies, both local

and foreign sources, which helped the researcher determine the gap in the

research.

Related Literature

According to Rena M. Palloff and Keith Pratt from their book, “Lesson from

the virtual classroom: The realities of online teaching second edition” (2013),

because of the changing nature of students today, economic pressures, and

rapid implementation of distance learning courses and programs, definitions of

what constitutes education and learning are changing too. A more collaborative

approach to learning, promoted by constructivist thought, can yield deeper

knowledge creation levels (Brooks &Brooks, 2000). The use of distance learning

technologies and more specifically, online learning have grown out of and

contributed to the changes occurring in education delivery. The change

stemming from the delivery of online classes in academic institutions is being met

with educators' support and some discomfort. Although the level of discomfort

may be decreasing for some, skepticism about the quality of online education

persists (Allen, Seaman, Lederman, & Jaschik, 2012).

Some students learn better in a course in which they can tract with the

professor in person. Others, however, thrive in an online environment and shy

students, for example, tend to feel liberated online, as do many international


17

students who are unsure of their spoken English (Maloney, p. 21). We continue

to hear similar opinions expressed today, and online learning has become

ubiquitous. As a result, the level of resistance described in 1999 has begun to

wane o some degree, and we see at least a willingness to try online teaching. A

very recent study, conducted by the Babson Survey Research Group (Allen et

al., 2012), indicates that instructors report being more pessimistic than optimistic

about online learning.

They are skeptical about learning outcomes from online courses and resist

teaching online. The study's authors speculate that the amount of time involved

with online teaching may or may not be fairly compensated, which is part of the

problem. To complicate the picture, new regulations for online and on-ground

programs have been issued by the U.S. Department of Education. These

regulations are meant to shorten the program's time for students, thus reducing

the financial aid debt required to complete a degree. Although technology has

been used as an adjunct to elementary and secondary teaching for a while,

virtual high schools and other virtual support services for school districts continue

to emerge, bringing with them the development of online teaching standards.

The delivery of online classes in the K-12 sector increases dramatically,

promoting a need for training or online teaching in teacher training programs.

Deubel (2008) reports that the demand for “virtual schooling” is increasing at a

rate of about 30% per year, and with that comes the need for experienced

teachers who can teach online. Watson and Kalmon (2006) report that as of

2006, there were 24 state-led virtual schools, with 12 more states in the process
18

of developing them. Like their higher education counterparts, teachers need

training in online work's theoretical, pedagogical, and technical foundations. They

also need to understand how to effectively facilitate an online class, including

practical discussion, managing learners, incorporating collaborative activities,

and conducting online assessments of student work.

According to an article titled, Materials Matter: Instructional Materials +

Professional Learning = Student Achievement (David Steiner, 2018). Several

research summaries over the last few years have brought attention to the impact

of high-quality instructional materials on student learning. The U.S. Department

of Education‟s What Works Clearinghouse, which produces summaries of

rigorous research, has identified several effective curricula with large effect sizes

on students‟ reading, math, and science learning (e.g., Borman, Dowling, &

Schneck, 2008; Hirschhorn, 1993; Smith et al., 1993; Zucker, Tinker, Staudt,

Mansfield, & Metcalf, 2008). Boser and colleagues (2015) examined six

elementary math curricula, each of which had a lower and a higher-quality

version. They found that switching from the lower- to the higher-quality product

would cause districts to incur “not much of a cost.” Prices do not vary widely

across products, with the most expensive product in the same government-

sponsored study costing only $13 per student more than the least expensive

product.

If anything, the higher-quality products tend to cost less. In some

instances, the most expensive curriculum was among the least effective, and the

least costly was the most effective (Boser et al., 2015). Among the less-
19

expensive curricula are available online in an open educational resources format.

In this instance, the basic curriculum is available for free downloading, with the

costs restricted to printing and, in some cases, to supplemental material. Yet

despite all this research, individual teachers self-select many of their instructional

materials. As a result, most students are taught at least in part through

idiosyncratic curricula that are not defined by school districts or states. Steiner

reports on his review of the evidence. Teachers report using various instructional

materials from a wide array of sources: formal, published curricula and informal,

online lessons; self-developed and district-selected materials; and those aligned

to standards or not (Steiner, 2017).

Teachers rely on a wide variety of online resources, with Google,

Pinterest, and Teachers Pay Teachers leading a list compiled by research

organization RAND (Opfer, Kaufman, & Thompson, 2016). The issue is not that

the resources are online such materials can be strong, and even downloading

materials for a single lesson can add supplemental value (Jackson & Makarin,

2018). Instead, the issue is that when teachers create their studies too much of

the time, students may not get the benefits of a fully sequenced, coherent

learning experience. Providing high-quality materials to teachers is not enough,

while more substantial instructional materials make a real difference. That

difference is magnified by matching it with professional learning.

Indeed, research suggests that over half of the possible impact of shifting

to a more robust curriculum is lost if the transition does not include a teacher

practice shift that explicitly supports the new materials (Taylor et al., 2015). One
20

can clearly infer that professional development that guides teachers to optimize

their use of new curricula must be an essential part of any instructional materials-

oriented school-level transitions. This is a positive step, but professional learning

on curriculum implementation shouldn‟t end when a teacher begins their first

classroom job. Teachers already on the job need the same skills to become

intelligent users of the curriculum materials provided by their districts or schools,

mainly because it‟s not uncommon for schools to change curricula. Using the

curriculum materials effectively includes distinguishing high and low-quality

materials, knowing how to analyze whether the materials align with achievement

standards, and practicing how to use and adapt materials in the classroom (Toon

& Jensen, 2017).

Related Studies

According to M. L. Niess (2005), emergence into the 21st century features

different tools, different communication, different information, and different work.

Given this shift, education must incorporate computer-based, electronic

technologies integrating learning with these technologies within the academic

subject areas. Learning subject matter with technology is different from teaching

that subject matter with technology. Few teachers have been trained to teach

their subject matter with technology. As a National Center for Education Statistics

survey found, only 20% of the current public school teachers feel comfortable

using technology in their teaching (Rosenthal, 1999). Mathematics and science

standards (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), 2000; National

Research Council, 1996) point toward a scientifically and mathematically rich


21

curriculum where technology is an essential component of the learning

environment, not only in the curriculum but also in the instruction.

Similarly, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE,

2000a, b) developed new technology standards for students and teachers that

specifically confront teachers integrating technology throughout education.

Increased research attention to teachers‟ subject matter knowledge has focused

attention on how student teachers organize and inter-relate these subject matter

facts, concepts, and principles (Ball, 1991; Even, 1989; Kennedy, 1990;

Leinhardt & Smith, 1985; Marks, 1990; Tamir, 1988; Wilson & Wineburg, 1988).

A variety of different approaches for preparing teachers to teach with technology

have been proposed to move toward the other end of the continuum by (1)

integrating technology in all courses in the teacher preparation program to be

more supportive of the development of a technology-enhanced PCK and content-

specific applications and (2) requiring pre-service teachers to teach with

technology in their student teaching experience (Duhaney, 2001; Wetzel &

Zambo, 1996; Young et al., 2000). However, little research has been conducted

to identify how this more integrated approach supports developing a PCK that

integrates knowledge of technology with knowledge of the content and

knowledge of pedagogy a TPCK. Amending these components with technology

provides a framework for describing the outcomes for TPCK development in a

teacher preparation program: (1) an overarching conception of what it means to

teach a particular subject integrating technology in the learning; (2) knowledge of

instructional strategies and representations for teaching particular topics with


22

technology; (3) knowledge of students‟ understandings, thinking, and learning

with technology in a particular subject; (4) knowledge of curriculum and

curriculum materials that integrate technology with learning in the subject area

(Borko & Putnam, 1996, p. 690).

Preparing student teachers to teach with technology in science and

mathematics content areas offers a unique lens from which to investigate the

development of TPCK. The content knowledge of technology is both scientific

and mathematical. Teaching technology using demonstrations and labs/hands-on

activities is consistent with major pedagogical strategies in teaching mathematics

and science. Classroom management issues with technology are compatible with

classroom management issues in science and mathematics lab activities. Thus,

preparing teachers to teach with technology is compatible with many

programmatic experiences designed to develop PCK.

The integration of technology in the curriculum has been a newer shift in

the past ten years. The majority of their science and mathematics pre-college

and undergraduate education was a curriculum that did not necessarily embrace

learning with and about the technology. What program models support teachers

in gaining the skills, knowledge, and beliefs to teach different subjects with

technology? What are the essential skills, knowledge, and opinions? How does

TPCK change for other content areas? What experiences are critical to building a

TPCK? What technologies are essential? What support do student teachers

need as they practice teaching with technologies? Questions such as these will

continue to challenge teacher educators and researchers as they search to meet


23

the demands of the preparation of 21st century teachers, teachers with a

commitment to prepare today's students to live, learn, and work in tomorrow's

''increasingly complex and information-rich society‟‟ (ISTE, 2000a).

According to Peggy A. Ertmer and Anne T. Ottenbreit – Leftwich, the

professionals of the 21st century think and act differently than those of previous

centuries, due at least in part to the radically different tools they use to perform

their jobs. Teachers of the 21st century use roughly the same tools as those

before them (Cuban, 2001). It is time to shift our mindsets away from the notion

that technology provides a supplemental teaching tool and assume, as with other

professions, that technology is essential to successful performance outcomes

(i.e., student learning). To put it simply, effective teaching requires effective

technology use. Recent research, resulting from both large- and small-scale

efforts (Bauer & Kenton, 2005; Project Tomorrow, 2008), suggests that we have

yet not achieved high levels of effective technology use, either in the United

States or internationally (Kozma, 2003; Mueller, Wood, Willoughby, Ross, &

Specht, 2008; Smeets, 2005; Tondeur, van Braak, & Valcke, 2007a).

Furthermore, if and when technology is used, it typically is not used to

support the kinds of instruction (e.g., student-centered) believed to be most

powerful for facilitating student learning (Cuban, Kirkpatrick, & Peck; 2001;

International Society for Technology in Education [ISTE], 2008; Partnership for

21st Century Learning, 2007). No doubt, teachers have increased their personal

and professional use of computers (Project Tomorrow, 2008; van Braak,

Tondeur, & Valcke, 2004). In response to the Teachers Talk Tech survey (CDW-
24

G, 2006), 88% of the teachers reported using technology for administrative tasks,

whereas 86% reported using technology for communication tasks. As with other

professionals, we expect teachers to use technology in ways that extend and

increase their effectiveness. It is no longer appropriate to suggest that teachers‟

low-level uses of technology are adequate to meet the needs of the 21st-century

learner.

Using technology simply to support lecture-based instruction falls far from

recommended best practices (Lawless & Pellegrino, 2007; Partnership for 21st

Century Skills, 2007; Zemelman, Daniels, & Hyde, 2005). To achieve the kinds of

technology uses required for 21st-century teaching and learning (Lai, 2008; Law,

2008; Thomas & Knezek, 2008), we need to help teachers understand how to

use technology to facilitate meaningful learning, defined as that which enables

students to construct deep and connected knowledge, which can be applied to

real situations. Although “technology can make it quicker or easier to teach the

same things in routine ways,” it also makes it possible to “adopt new and

arguably better approaches to instruction and/or change the content or context of

learning, instruction, and assessment” (Lawless & Pellegrino, 2007, p. 581). With

the No Child Left Behind Act (U. S. DOE, 2001) providing impetus, states are

now placing a strong emphasis on recruiting and retaining high-quality teachers.

In addition to possessing both content and pedagogical knowledge, recent

definitions of high-quality teachers include being able to support differentiated

instruction and data-based decision making, efforts that benefit immensely from
25

the use of new technology tools (Means, Padilla, DeBarger, & Bakia, 2009; Office

of Educational Technology, 2004; Patrick, 2008).

According to the U. S. DOE (2003), “Technology is now considered by

most educators and parents to be an integral part of providing a high-quality

education”. Issues of teacher change are central to any discussion of technology

integration. In general, when teachers are asked to use technology to facilitate

learning, some degree of change is required along any or all of the following

dimensions: (a) beliefs, attitudes, or pedagogical ideologies; (b) content

knowledge; (c) pedagogical knowledge of instructional practices, strategies,

methods, or approaches; and (d) novel or altered instructional resources,

technology, or materials (Fullan & Stiegelbauer, 1991). When thinking about

technology as an innovation, Fisher (2006) cautioned against viewing technology

as an agent of change. Rather, he argued that teachers must assume this role.

Harris (cited in Brinkerhoff, 2006) noted that “using technology as a

„Trojan horse‟ for educational reform has succeeded in only a minority of K–12

contexts”. In general, teachers are hesitant to adopt curricular and instructional

innovations (Ponticell, 2003). This is especially true of technology innovations

because, unlike curricular changes (e.g., Everyday Math), which occur only

periodically, technology tools and resources are constantly changing (Straub,

2009). And although teachers might believe that technology helps them

accomplish professional and personal tasks more efficiently, they are reluctant to

incorporate the duplicate tools into the classroom for a variety of reasons,

including the lack of relevant knowledge (Lawless & Pellegrino, 2007), low self-
26

efficacy (Mueller et al., 2008), and existing belief systems (Ertmer, 2005; Hew &

Brush, 2007; Subramaniam, 2007). Furthermore, the context in which teachers

work often constrains or limits individual efforts (Roehrig, Kruse, & Kern, 2007;

Somekh, 2008).

To use technology to facilitate student learning, teachers need additional

knowledge and skills that build on and intersect with those that Shulman (1986)

described. This additional knowledge has been conceptualized in a variety of

ways including (technological pedagogical content knowledge, TPCK; AACTE,

2008; Pierson, 2001), pedagogical technology integration content knowledge

(PTICK; Brantley-Dias, Kinuthia, Shoffner, DeCastro, & Rigole, 2007); and ICT-

TPCK (a strand of TPCK that specifically emphasizes relevant knowledge of

information and communication technologies; Angeli & Valanides, 2009). First,

teachers need knowledge of the technology itself. Lawless and Pellegrino assert

that “technological literacy has fast become one of the basic teaching skills”

(2007, p. 580). If teachers are going to prepare their students to be

technologically capable, they need to have, at the very least, basic technology

skills. However, knowing how to use technology hardware (e.g., digital camera,

science probe) and software (e.g., presentation tool, social networking site) is not

enough to enable teachers to use the technology effectively in the classroom.

If this were true, there would be little, if any, the gap between teachers‟

personal and instructional uses of technology. But knowing how to use the tools

is only the foundation. Teaching with technology requires teachers to expand

their knowledge of pedagogical practices across multiple aspects of the planning,


27

implementation, and evaluation processes. One approach, described by Mishra

and Koehler (2006), is that of a design-based program in which teachers develop

their technology skills in the context of their curricular needs. Educational reform

efforts have consistently purported student-centered practices as the most

effective way to prepare our students for the 21 st century (Voogt, 2008). These

reform efforts are based on a new definition of “good” teaching, facilitating

student learning by leveraging relevant ICT resources as meaningful pedagogical

tools. Implementing a further purpose of effective teaching requires teacher

knowledge change, teacher beliefs change, and teacher culture change.

Base on the Assistance provided by private entities in Elementary Schools

in San Pablo City, Laguna, Fabros (2019) mentions that limited school resources

and budget to sustain partnership emerged regarding issues relative to drawing

confidential assistance. Although it is primarily the government‟s accountability to

ensure that public schools are adequately equipped with the tools and facilities

needed to provide quality and relevant education, private entities are welcome to

make contributions that would help address the inadequacies that confront many

public schools in the country. Traditionally, Filipino families put a high premium

on having their members earn an education. Nowadays, the trend in education is

to develop innovative and globally competitive people who can meet the

demands of commercialization, industrialization, and development. Without

education, the world will be blind. The truths will be withheld and hidden behind

the walls of ignorance. Countless generations will be estranged from knowledge

and wisdom that only education can suffice.


28

They believe that having a better education opens opportunities to ensure

a promising future and eventually lift them out of poverty. Thus, they are willing to

make enormous sacrifices to send their children to school. Hence, the school has

to play a significant role in ensuring the quality of education that parents desire

for their children. Sad to say, despite the government‟s claim that it has been

increasing the budget for education, most public elementary schools in the

country are hardly coping with challenges and shortages like schools with

insufficient classrooms, limited learning materials, and no electricity and water

supply. These seem to be perennial problems of schools every year.

Thus, teachers and school administrators are forced to employ the so-

called creative means to accommodate the significant number of enrollees in

public schools every year. These include holding up to three classes and

conducting classes in storage rooms, multipurpose halls, and hallways. The

assistance may be provided in but is not limited to infrastructure, learning

support, health and nutrition, reading programs, technology support, direct

assistance, training and development, and assistive learning devices for special

needs students. Nowadays, private entities could help any school, which they

deem need much their assistance even if it does not belong to any of the twenty

poorest provinces in the country (retrieved from www.deped.gov.ph, July 19,

2019).

Inspired by its success and bringing the spirit of the Adopt-a-School

Program to the community level and maximizing civil participation and utilizing

local resources to improve public schools, DepEd launched the Nationwide


29

Maintenance Week, commonly known as Brigada Eskwela, as a unique project

under Adopt-a-School Program in May 2003.

Brigada Eskwela then brought teachers, parents, community members,

government employees, and the private sector every third week of May to work

together to repair, repaint, fix and mend broken facilities of public schools, and

get them ready for the school opening. The success of Brigada Eskwela since its

implementation simply showcases the Filipino‟s innate quality of volunteerism.

This particular project has also fostered financially endowed persons and

organizations' generosity to share their resources with those who are deprived

economically or materially. To intensify partnership with the private sector, the

government pushed through another offspring of the Adopt-a-School Program in

2012, the Public-Private Partnership (PPP). The PPP focused on intensive

infrastructure projects in the education sector to reduce classroom shortages.

Tilak (2016) claimed that PPP helps ease financial constraints, as the

private sector makes huge investments on its own under Public-Private

Partnership (PPP). Before adopting the K-12 reforms, Macha et al. (2018)

emphasized that elementary education was the only compulsory part of the basic

education cycle. The elementary school curriculum was recently revised and

included standard subjects like Filipino, English, mathematics, science, social

science, Philippine history and culture, physical education, and arts. However,

one notable and important change is that minority languages are now being used

as the language of instruction in the first years of elementary education in areas

where these languages are the lingua franca.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The methodology describes and explains the different procedures,

including research design, respondents of the study, research instrument, validity

and reliability, data gathering procedure, and statistical treatment and analysis.

Research Design

The quantitative research design is used for this study. It involves the

process of collecting and analyzing numerical data. It can be used to find

patterns and averages, make predictions, causal test relationships, and

generalize results to broader populations (Pritha Bhandari, 2020). The

quantitative research methods are sufficient to capture the trends and details of

the situation, such as technological learning materials limitations and technology

learning procedures among the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students of San Roque

elementary schools.

Respondents of the Study

This study's target population is 40 students through a combination of

Grade 5 and Grade 6 in San Roque Elementary School. The students‟ status

vary in terms of grade level, subjects, or modules taken pursued. Due to their

modular learning modality, students were referred by their Grade 5 and Grade 6

advisers depending on their availability. Recruiting of participants occurred

through the database of the available students.

Intentionally selecting individuals to respond to the survey from different

grade levels is to avoid participants who cannot access and respond immediately
32

to the study and the availability of gadgets and internet connections that they

need to answer the questionnaire. The idea is to purposefully select informants

who will best answer the research questions and who are “information-rich"

(Patton, 1990) persons. This is to ensure that the respondents can easily

understand and follow the instruction and know-how to access this kind of

platform taking the survey.

Sampling Technique

The primary technique for collecting the quantitative data will be random

sampling, referred to as probability sampling since the sampling process is

random and the law of probability can be applied. The sequence of a sampling

distribution is needed to interpret and evaluate the sample provided. It is the least

biased of all sampling techniques. There is no subjectivity. Each member of the

total population has an equal chance of being selected and can be attained using

random number tables.

Research Instrument

A panel of professors teaching at the Laguna State Polytechnic University

served as a guide to secure the content validity of the survey instrument. The

questionnaire consists of thirty questions organized into two sections in Google

Forms. The first section of the survey asks questions about the participant's

personal information in the optional name. The second section measures

participants‟ comfort and discomfort level and their rating with the limitations of

technological learning materials affecting technology learning procedure

experienced and what particular technology they usually use to integrate and
33

acquire learning. It helped provide additional data about the impact of related

institutional factors in organization and accessibility, personalized instruction,

suitable learning materials, student engagement, feedback mechanism, and

performance. The Likert scale questions were used in the survey to determine

students' feelings about their experiences and behaviors. They focus on how

selected factors have influenced participants‟ progress in facilitation and

integration of technological learning materials affecting technology learning

procedures.

The most popular Likert scale in any survey question is the scale of

agreement – disagreement. The participants choose the answer that best reflects

their own beliefs and opinion about the statement provided in the survey

questions. However, they delivered the information regarding the statement

provided based on the participant's experience, and the choice of “Not

applicable” (NA) is not included.

The survey instrument was utilized on the randomly selected participants

representing the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students of San Roque Elementary

School. The study's goal is to validate the instrument and test its reliability from

the eligible participants identified in the database. The survey results helped

establish stability, internal consistency reliability, and content validity of the

questionnaire.
34

Data Gathering Procedure

The study was conducted in a new normal online social setting, and the

topic does not fall in the sensitive category. The subject population is randomly

chosen by their respective adviser and responds through an online survey

questionnaire. The participants were asked for their consent to provide their

personal information and their permission to answer the survey. After securing

their permission the participants' information and responses were received

through database collecting. The researcher also asked the principal and other

faculty members to allow the researcher to conduct the study to Grade 5 and

Grade 6 students to be participants on the study.

While conducting the individual survey with the selected respondents, they

were assigned either numerical names or their real names in their descriptions

and report the results. The name protects the anonymity of participants in each

returned questionnaire to keep the responses confidential. Data was collected

using the standardized procedures, including the convenience and natural

approach to the existing individuals of participants and the instrument's reliability

and validity checks.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data gathered was subjected to descriptive statistical analysis.

After the researcher collected the data, it was organized, and tabulated for

statistical analysis. The weighted mean was used to determine the level of

technological learning materials limitations and technology learning procedure

among the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students of San Roque Elementary School in
35

order to determine the importance and contribution of organization and

accessibility, personalized instruction, appropriate learning materials, student

engagement, feedback mechanisms, and performance on technological learning

materials and technology learning procedure among the students. Pearson

correlation was used to identify significant relationships between variables in

inferential statistics.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter presents the data gathered and the interpretation of findings.

These are presented in tables following the sequence of the research problem

regarding the technological learning materials limitations and technology learning

procedure among the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students of San Roque Elementary

School.

The age range of the respondents from 10 to 12 years old is shown in

Table 1, with the majority of respondents belonging to the age range of 12 years

old with a total of 23 respondents, and the least number of respondents come

from the age of 10 years old with only two respondents coming from grade 5

students. In terms of gender distribution, both Grade 5 and Grade 6 students had

a similar distribution of respondents, with 11 girls and 9 boys, for a total of 20

respondents.

Table 2 shows that the respondents' school seeks help and assistance

from other private or public sector organizations that are willing to help. The

majority of the participants Strongly Agree with a mean of 3.28 and a standard

deviation of 0.55. Following that, respondents agreed with a mean of 3.00 and a
38

standard deviation of 0.75 that the school provided necessary and appropriate

technological learning materials to use in their lessons. Thus, the average score

of all respondents in terms of organization and accessibility and a data set's

dispersion relative to its mean. With a verbal interpretation of Strongly Agree, the

average mean is 3.14 and the standard deviation is 0.35. Other educational

resources include teaching, learning, and resource accessibility, and they are

freely available to anyone via the Website. Podcasts, digital libraries, textbooks,

and games are all critical components of learning infrastructure. It is critical to

ensure that open educational resources meet the same quality, dependability,

and accuracy standards as other educational resources available to students,

particularly in public schools and the private sector.

The table above shows that students get more interested in the lesson

that the teacher personalized the instruction with and is interpreted as Strongly

Agreed with a mean of 3.45 and a standard deviation of 0.60. On the other hand,

with a mean of 3.18 and a standard deviation of 0.50, respondents find the

teacher who uses and integrates technological learning materials in lesson

instruction to be strongly agreeable. The general average of personalized

instruction is 3.29 and a standard deviation of 0.42 with a verbal interpretation of

Strongly Agree. Personalized instruction seeks to tailor learning to students'

interests, needs, strengths, and availability. Personalized education has a lot of

promise, but it also has some drawbacks. Teachers might not have enough

training to make this approach manageable to all students considering their

capacity and knowledge on how to use this kind of learning materials.

Appropriate learning materials should be suitable for the student's age,

emotional and social development, and points of view or ability level to use this

type of technological learning materials. According to Table 4, traditional learning

materials such as books are still important and needed to facilitate learning, with

a mean of 3.63 and a standard deviation of 0.54, to which the respondents

strongly agree with. The final point is that some students lack the capability and
41

resources to access appropriate learning materials, with a mean of 3.13 and a

standard deviation of 0.65 and a verbal interpretation of Strongly Agree. With a

verbal interpretation of Strongly Agree, the average mean gained by appropriate

learning materials is 3.30 and a standard deviation of 0.30.

The table above shows that with a mean of 3.40 and a standard deviation

of 0.50, respondents agree that the technological learning materials and

technology learning procedure helps students be productive and adaptive to a

new normal and changes in schooling. On the other hand, the participants were

afraid every time they used technology in their task because they were unfamiliar

with it, having a mean of 2.80, a standard deviation of 0.61, and a verbal

interpretation of Agree. With a verbal interpretation of Strongly Agree, the

respondents Agree with Student Engagement with an average mean of 3.12 and

a standard deviation of 0.29. Student engagement necessitates active learning in

which students participate in class rather than simply sitting quietly and listening

to the teacher or facilitator. A study found that involving students in the learning

process improves their attention and focus on the lesson, motivates them to use

higher-level critical thinking skills, and promotes meaningful learning

experiences.

As seen above, the respondents agreed on the feedback mechanism with

an average of 2.71 and a standard deviation of 0.30. According to the

respondents, they receive positive feedback from their parents and teachers

because they can use technology to learn and do the activities assigned to them

and be responsible for using it, with a mean of 3.30 and a standard deviation of

0.61 a verbal interpretation of Strongly Agree. Finally, there is a negative impact

on student‟s behavior in terms of how they used technology in recreation versus

learning, with a mean of 2.30 and a standard deviation of 0.69. Positive feedback

mechanisms and negative feedback mechanisms are the two types of feedback

mechanisms. Positive feedback mechanisms are those in which the initial

stimulus is reinforced by the response, such as praising students and rewarding

them if they receive a higher score on their activity. Negative feedback

mechanisms produce a response that is polar opposite to the positive feedback

mechanism's initiating stimulus. This is the negative reaction of the student's


44

parents or teachers to the outcome of their actions, whether related to study or in

behavioral pattern.

Table 7 displays the students' performance in terms of how they use

technological learning materials. The respondents find it agreeable with an

average mean of 3.04 and a standard deviation of 0.34. The respondents

strongly agree with the outlooks of the respondents motivation and excitement to

perform thier task when they need to integrate technological learning materials

into learning procedures or in any task with a mean of 3.23 and a standard

deviation of 0.58. The lack of confidence to participate in any activity got an

interpretation of agree because of the limitations and lack of technology learning

materials and understanding of technology learning procedures with a mean of

2.83 and a standard deviation of 0.71. Performance is defined as a formal and

productive procedure and skills to measure on student work and results based on

their task responsibilities the goal of this entire process of performance is to

improve the way a students understanding and critical thinking, collaboration, or

an organization functions, to achieve higher levels of satisfaction.

Table 8 shows the test for a significant relationship between the

respondents' technological learning material limitations and their technological

learning procedure. In terms of student engagement, personalized instruction

obtained a significance level of .520**, which is a moderately positive correlation

and higher than the assumed level of significance of 0.01 level, and feedback

mechanisms obtained a significance level of -.052 negligible correlation, while

performance obtained a significance level of .306 low positive correlation

indicator.

It only demonstrates that the limitations in using technological learning

materials in terms of personalized instruction in students engagement has a

positive effect in terms of students active participation in facilitation of learning

because the respondents are attracted to technology and want to experience it in

real life and be literate in the use of technological learning materials. While

personalized instruction in feedback mechanisms shows that it has no effect on

students' development and learning, feedback, whether positive or negative,

cannot measure students' knowledge and skills. In terms of personalized

instruction in student performance, the study found that it positively affects

students' actual demonstration of learning and makes doing their tasks or

activities much easier.

The study shows that in terms of suitable learning materials in students'

engagement, it has an important and necessary impact in students learning this

is the tools students need to acquire learning. Suitable learning materials indicate

a significance level of .515** moderate positive correlation in students


47

engagement while feedback mechanisms shows a significance level of -.068 a

negligible correlation and performance got .197 also a negligible correlation. On

the other hand, both suitable learning materials in terms of feedback

mechanisms and performance had no significant effect in students technological

learning procedure and in acquisition of learning. It is because students can

receive feedback without any technological and suitable learning materials using

of verbal communication while, in performance even without those appropriate

learning materials students can be creative and apply real life situations to

acquire learning and what is available in the environment and in school.

In terms of organization and accessibility, the indicator obtained a

significance level of .355* a low positive correlation in terms of student

engagement; this only means that with the help and assistance of any

organizations, it may help the learners have enough technological learning

materials that are appropriate in technology learning procedure and to have

materials that may help them in the facilitating of learning. The organization and

accessibility of feedback mechanisms received a significance level of .104 a

negligible correlation, which only means that it has no effect on the students'

reaction to the basis for improvement, criticism, and the students' observation,

which may affect the integration of students' learning. While in performance

shows a significance level of .178 also a negligible correlation; shows that in the

performance of the students in accomplishing activities and assigned tasks,

organization and accessibility has no major affect in terms of the performance of

the students, which means that, while we need the connection between other
48

organizations and the availability of those technological learning materials,

students can find ways and alternative solutions into their deficiency and

limitation.

All of these indicators revealed a moderate to low positive correlation, as

well as a negligible correlation, between respondents' technological learning

material limitations and technology learning procedure. Because the assumed

levels of significance at 0.05 and 0.01 are used to determine the level of

correlation, the majority of the indicators showed negligible correlation, followed

by moderate to low positive correlation, all of which were insignificant.

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter is represented in three sections. The first section contributes

to an overall summary of the study followed by the summary of findings and their

conclusions. After this are the recommendations for future research.

Summary

The study dealt with the relationship between the technological learning

materials and the technology learning procedure of public elementary school

students in San Roque Elementary School of the Division of San Pablo City,

Laguna province, from 2020 to 2021. The respondents were the 40 public

elementary students of San Roque Elementary School. The study used a

descriptive research method using the Likert scale survey questionnaire

produced by the researcher. These questionnaires were administered through

Google Form because of the consideration of the health protocol while

conducting this research. All of the procedures turn out to be possible because of

the assistance of the Principal and the Head Teachers. The data obtained were

treated statistically using the weighted average mean.

Research Findings

The data were analyzed and the following results were formulated in

accordance with the specific questions given under the statement of the problem.

1. The organization and accessibility covered assistance from other entities

whether private or public sector, accessibility of the website of the

respected school to acquire information and to communicate,


50

technological learning materials that are available and can be used by the

learners, sufficient internet connection whether wifi or data, and lastly, the

school provided appropriate technological learning materials to use in their

lesson. The respondents assessed the organizational and accessibility in

verbal interpretation of strongly agree that their school provides necessary

and appropriate equipments in facilitating learning.

2. For personalized instruction, all the indicators evaluated obtained mean

which are verbally interpreted strongly agree as general everage. It shows

that the students interest increase, discussions are easy to understand

and instructions or lesson is easy to follow.

3. Suitable learning materials covered the importance of traditional learning

materials to facilitate learning, and cheapest learning materials are

available in natural environment. Also, the suitable technological learning

materials are those digital equipments that public or private sectors

provided. Necessary assistance, suitable learning materials, capability,

and reliable resources must be applied. The general average mean got an

interpretation of strongly agree.

4. The respondents general average mean got an interpretation of agree.

Student engagement covered productivity and adaptability to the new

normal and changes in schooling particularly on what technological

learning materials suited with these kind of settings or modalities.

Confidence level to do task and instructions, integration of technology to

the interest and engagement of the learners. Lastly, issue in focusing and
51

distraction by many factors, and familiarity with new kind of technology as

a platform in acquiring knowledge.

5. The respondents agreed on feedback mechanisms covered positive

feedback between studensts, parents, and teachers. The students

communication between the teachers and colleagues criticized in terms of

grades, biased internet connectivity, negative comments in terms of

punctuality, honesty, and cheating. Lastly, negative impact in terms of the

behavior of the students between technology use in learning to

recreational purposes.

6. For performance, all the indicators evaluated earned verbal interpretation

of agree. These covered outlooks of the respondents to perform task,

integrating technological learning materials into learning procedures,

participants productivity, and the integration of technology on the

instructional base activities also the latest trend, active participation,

collaboration, and regular online class attendance.

7. The test of significant relationship between the technological learning

materials limitations and technology learning procedure of the

respondents reveals that the study posits that there is no significant

relationship between the limitations in using technological learning

materials and the assessment of technology learning procedures. These

indicators revealed a moderate to low positive correlation and a negligible

correlation, and the assumed level of significance basis of determining

level of correlation, and majority of the indicators manifested a negligible


52

correlation followed by moderate to low positive correlation between

technological learning materials limitations and technology learning

procedure all insignificant.

Conclusions

In light of the above-mentioned findings, the following conclusion were

drawn;

1. The technological learning materials limitations do not have effect on the

technology learning procedure among the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students

of San Roque elementary school. This is because the respondents always

experience the technological learning materials limitations in their learning

environment and the facilitating of learning, which covered areas in

organization and accessibility, personalized instruction, and suitable

learning materials as well as the indicators of student engagement,

feedback mechanisms, and performance under the technology learning

procedure. The students and teachers find alternative and possible

solution by asking for support and assistance from every entities on the

private or public sector and intensive work and collaboration are reflective

of a pleasant learning condition. Being creative and finding alternative

solution in some limitations and effective instruction with or without the

technological learning materials is the innovative and practical approach.

2. The suitable and sufficient technological learning materials for the student

to facilitate technology learning procedure has a positive effect on their

development of skills in digital literacy among the Grade 5 and Grade 6


53

students of San Roque elementary school. The respondents have

moderate personal stress level in some areas evaluated namely

personalized instruction in terms of student engagement, and in suitable

learning materials in student engagement indicators. It means that suitable

and sufficient technological learning materials are effectively useful in the

facilitation of technology learning procedure to make learning more

comprehensive, attractive, innovative, and technology oriented that can

make the facilitation of learning more easier.

3. Technological learning materials limitations and technology learning

procedure is not related to the following personal stress indicators;

personalized instruction in terms of feedback mechanisms, suitable

learning materials in terms of feedback mechanisms and in performance,

organization and accessibility in terms of feedback mechanisms and in

performance.

Recommendations

In view of the findings, and conclusions, the following recommendations

are hereby given:

1. Improvements of the technological learning materials and technology

learning procedure focusing on each variable must be made.

2. Suitable technological learning materials may be provided to all the

students to use in their study, task, demonstration, or activities.


54

3. Organization and accessibility assistance from the community whether

public or private sectors and provide sufficient internet connectivity, open

communication and collaboration between all the stakeholders.

4. The researcher recommend to make the study more reliable and valid by

having a larger number of respondents for the future study. This study

only had 40 respondents and the consistency of the data is vulnerable

when compared into the larger sample size of the respondent.

5. The result of this study showed a moderate to low positive correlation and

a majority of negligible correlation between respondents technological

learning materials limitations and technology learning procedure, similar

study in other schools, sections, and major using the same instrument is

recommended to other researcher to validate the results of the study and

other studies correlating to technological learning materials limitations and

technology learning procedure and other factors that cause stress to the

respondents are also recommended.

6. Communicate with a school personel that is related with this kind of study

or consult any succeeding studies that could bring broader information

about this kind of topic.
