With the advancements of technologies, teaching strategies are changing every day;
consequently, the greatest struggle of teachers is how to attract the attention of their students,
when they are learning: Students do have short attention span and they are not fond of listening
lectures. Moreover, inspiring students to learn sets them on a path of becoming their best selves.
Teachers are looking forward for something to open more ways for them to learn, so they
develop the skills they need to succeed and tap into their unique potentials. Learning should not
be limited of typical class discussion. Utilizing smart television promotes better academic
learning among students. They gain the opportunity to learn, to analyze and to create with
teachers.
Depending on how one looks at the status of educational televisions in the world today, one sees
either glass half full or a glass half empty. Great advances have been spread worldwide in
forging inventive applications. Subsequently, a smart television is designed being able to work as
a teaching aid and having this following features low production cost since it can be
manufactured by placing the 35 USD COMPUTER in the interior of the television sets which are
already in use in the classrooms all over the world. It is also lined up with the most recent
information and telecommunication trends in education. Lastly, it would propose to use
applications as subject of study. On the other hand, we have been known a great deal to the role
television often plays in agendas’ setting, in elevating issues in the agenda of nations, ministering
and professional groups. However, model uses television for national development have emerged
in widely separation of fame and places but never had determined human effort been made in a
single locale to realize anything, approaching the full scope and impact of television in it is
Moreover, the integration of technology in the delivery of education is considered vital in the
financial resources of third world countries in Asia the government could hardly provide it.
These were the greatest challenges of ASEAN states that are in the lower stages of technology
development. RangubTook(2016) states that many Thai graduates lack essential working skills.
Many of them do have enough skills to respond to the country’s needs. This might be the
competitiveness and has low collaboration between the education institutes, business and
industry. World Economic Forum report (2014) also emphasized that Thailand had education
system with only ordinary quality at all levels and low level of technological readiness.
Consequently, the education system needs to be reformed using an open educational system
approach among students and smart television could be one. However, ASEAN ICT plan masters
(2015) presents that Singapore, is a perfect leader in all aspects among ASEAN countries who
made their best. Singapore taps the table when it comes to competitiveness and Malaysia got a
high placed developing rest of the countries like Vietnam, Brunei, Myanmar and other Asian
Mirror with this issue, Philippines still belongs to the third world developing countries in Asia. It
is then evident that Philippines is not excluded in this issue same as what other countries are
facing. The archipelago of Philippines is still under the battle of such called low competent
technological readiness of education. Speaking about the educational system of Filipinos, this
would be a big and serious topic in the country. Government gives a little attention about
education resulting to some educational problems that hinders teachers to support a better
learning to students because of the lack of facilities and equipment f as medium of learning.
Filipino students act likely as to other students outside the country who were born into digital
nature in every sense that they ate in the age of touch screens, tablets and any technologies they
have right now. Recently, one of the greatest challenges of the educators is how to encourage the
students to participate well in the class discussion knowing that students have short attention
span. Particularly speaking, hours of sitting around for the whole day long listening on lectures
and a monotonous discussion with no such excitement makes them bored and tired. This was the
reasons why educators use smart tv as a teaching tools to attract students’ attention. Many of the
schools in Philippines implemented such tool for they have realized that if television content in
the house in able to get the attention of young ones and they keep interested to bring televisions
The country of Philippines, branches into different localities. To make it more legible and further
simplify, the Sisters of Mary School Girls town, Inc. is never been excused on this issue. The
Students get to be bombarded of the series of school schedules from morning until afternoon.
Whole day sitting with the visual aids of teachers with full of writings makes them compacted
and tend not to understand the discussions. Teachers are also trying their best how to make the
class lively seems to be lacking still, needing something to fill this gap. Later on, realizing that
21st century children are visual learners. Hence, the teachers are looking forward for an effective
action to have better understanding on the discussion among the students. They don’t only
develop classroom skills but also work-based skills, out of those basic skills as to prepare
Indeed, across the globe, in Asia, in Philippines and even in the Sisters of Mary School Girls
town, Inc. goes with these lines: successful learners are considered as active learners. Active
learners are aware that they are learning that means recognizing one’s strength and weaknesses
in having the ability to monitor one understands of the content. It also means constantly making
adjustment to support comprehension during the learning process. Learning through watching
maybe a key ingredient in a students’ development (Bandura, 1994) as cited by Deborah (2006).
The only way to get out in this big issue on education is integrating the modern day teaching tool
when the educational technology, the Smart TV, shows perfect illustration of teacher and
students having fruitful discussions and sharing of knowledge and values through the use of
appropriate modern-day instructional material. The Sisters of Mary School had implemented this
teaching tool however; students just enhance the classroom skills and disregard the benefits of
such skills in the work field. As the school main goal is to bring forward adept individuals
prepared for the work field so, students need to precocious basic skills inside the school
especially in the classroom. This is the reason why the researchers wanted to pursue this study to
describe the utilization of Smart TV as an integral learning tool bridging classroom and worked-
based skills among the senior high school, grade eleven(11) students in the Sisters of Mary
The researchers’ ultimate goal for this study is to help the students specifically the senior high
school ones on how to be better prepared professional through this modern-day medium of
teaching. The utilization of Smart TV as a powerful educational medium in the 21st century
learners in the Sisters of Mary School Girls town, Inc. Since, technology offers tremendous
potentials for improving the delivery of education so; we should not squander this opportunity
(Trotter, 2001). This study also aims to enhance student’s interaction, verbalization and
involvement on collaborative learning through Smart TV. It is also to describe the learning
process and classroom engagement of students in the utilization of Smart TV. This study
therefore becomes incumbent upon the teacher to now acquire a keenly awareness and clear
concept of this new concept of educational technology. Considering that educational smart tv
proposes bright prospects for quality learning. The teachers must be the way of realization by
which Smart TV can help enhance quality of learning, speed up learning time, increase teaching
efficiency, and reduce educational costs. Educators, they become more keenly aware of their
responsibility to deliver the best quality education to students. They have began to recognize the
need to be aware of educational technology-as for the benefit of this study. Therefore, this study
will serve as recommendation for school development as to how should students precocious their
skills and become adept individuals prepare for the world of work

private sectarian school. This is founded through the inspiration of our Lady of Banneux
by the dearest founder of the school, Venerable Aloysius John Philip Schwartz, an
American priest. This was founded for the poorest of the poor youth of the country,
Philippines to offer a free and high quality standard education. The school has three 7
storey buildings which has 30 classroom namely, St. Mary (building 1), St. Catherine
(building 3), and St. Therese (building 2). Saint Mary’s building has 10 viewing room
and a total of 14 Smart TVs in the whole building. St. Catherine’s building which has 6
viewing room and a total of 16 smart TVs in the whole building. St. Therese building
which has 10 viewing room and a total of 11 smart TVs in the whole building. Thus,
there are 26 numbers of viewing rooms intended for class discussion if the teacher
chooses to use Smart TV and a total of 41 smart TVs for the whole 3 buildings.
this best suit to the topic focusing on the lived experiences of the respondent’s one’s

CHAPTER II
This chapter includes the related literatures written by experts currently. This were presented as
to fully support as it shows direct relevance to the literatures about the integration of smart tv in
Related Literature
In the book of Emergency Technology of Siemen and Tittenberg (2009) mention that, to
measure the effectiveness of technology use in teaching and learning process one has to answer
question like “know do we measure its effect?” Is it time spent in a classroom? Is it a functioned
of test scores? Is it about learning or understanding? Over the past 20 years, technology has lead
to a growing census among educators and the general public that it should play more integral role
in students’ education reported by CEO Forum On Education and technology ,2009 (Fouts and
Johnson, 2000). In the article entitled Television as a Medium for Education, television has been
adaptable and can follow different approaches when used in various educational situation
(RitibaB.Gohil,2016) she also added that to support formal education, television usually function
as supporter and as reinforcement tool: This instructional tool is an idea, practice or object which
and Auotio, 2011). Moreover, educational technology is not restricted only about computer used
of individual but also other equipment and applications such as video conferencing, digital
television (allowing students interact with its programs at their own pace), electronic
whiteboards and digital cameras(Jackson, 2008). Hilary Mason (2017) on his interview said that
he believes technology gives us superpowers. Since everyone has the opportunity to learn, think,
analyze and create with teachers. It is for the fact that teachers care deeply about the social and
moral education of the students in the classroom, but educations system has come yet establish
content and explicit approaches that will allow us to build the societies we want to see. (Caroline
Smistk, 2018)
Furthermore, advocates also claim that teachers benefits from the introduction of
technology into the classroom. Technology gives teachers the ability to instructional materials
for students to draw up on the classroom (Dunleavy, et al., 2007; Waddups, 2004; Healey 2001).
Strengthening this statement, RitibaGohil (2016) added that Smart TVs offers other feature like
USB Display, of presentations and videos without the aid of laptops or computer instead even
just portable is enough to work on this technology. Furthermore, since smart tv is both for
education and entertainment Attewell (2001) termed this as edutainment. He found out that
through the use of text, graphics, audio, video and animations, edutainment steers away from the
traditional teaching method. This technology helps to reinforce learning more fun rather than a
hassle. Another advantage of edutainment is that it allows the students to control their own
learning pace. The districts and schools implemented such tool for many reasons but what is the
main purpose is that to increase student’s competitiveness in economic, enhancing ones skills
through the use of Smart TV (Bonifaz and Zucker, 2004). It is for the fact that technology raises
different contributions supporting the effectiveness of its usage in education that includes the
delivery of instruction can be more standardized, instruction can be more interesting, learning
becomes more interactive, the quality of learning can be enhance, according to the book of
classroom skills but also work-based skills as stated by Caroline SmiskGether (2018). He said
that there are few basic things in acquiring job skills such as deciding with fair solving problems,
knowing how to apply new skills, requiring strength and weaknesses. We can do much better job
by thinking purposely about the kind of social learning that we want students to the engage in
using technology in the classroom comes with host of benefits on education(Joni Nguyen, 2017).
Related Study
In the study of Walls, (2013) entitled, “SmartTV for Effectiveness Academic Learning”
states that, smart television is one of the tools that is used in modern day classroom. He also
added that Smart TV is an emerging tool trend in technology and education like any other
television; this device is capable of playing videos, audio recordings and images. Smart TV are
perfect for teaching group of students making the interaction between students high that leads to
better socialization. Teachers can give more group activities using this device and students can
group together to participate. For it is teamwork and socialization that teachers should teach to
students and this can only thought by integrating new strategies in the conventional methods of
teaching(word press). Teachers encourage students to participate in the class discussion and with
smart TV, this become easy task (Walls, D., 2003). In the study of WGU(World Governments
Classroom”, that states, this is when teachers with educational television programs during class
the relationship between them and their students changes usually the status since teachers impart
knowledge while students absorb the information. Hedayat(2017) in his study entitled,”
Introducing Smart TVs in classrooms an Innovative Learning Methodology”, states that those
conventional chalk and clusters have made the students static and bored, but now; through these
smart TV, the students can visualize the lesson through images and videos. Television viewing is
known to affect children’s verbal abilities and other physical, cognitive and emotional
Viewing on Brain Structure: Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Analysis.” In the same study of
Hedayat (2017) that states, it is then to prove from the study that outdoor videos or photos can be
effectively displayed in the classroom and shared with students. If a student and a teacher
explore a good educational video that can explain the discussion more profoundly, then, it can be
made through this smart TVs for the whole class and sometimes for the whole school to see.
Moreover, many cross sectional and longitudinal studies have reported deleterious effects of TV
viewing on the cognitive abilities, attitudes, behavior and academic performance (Johnson et al
2002, 2007; Christakis et al, 2004). Another longitudinal studies showed that is viewing affects
attitudes (Lanhuis et al, 2007) which turns in correlated with wide range of cognitive
performances (Sergant et al, 2002). Finally, longitudinal studies have shown that TV viewing has
detrimental effects on verbal abilities including verbal working memory (Zimmerman and
Christakis, 2005). However, smart TV doesn’t just limit there, for it also provides students with
many different modalities to process information, students are better like to retain and recall
information through smart TV (Raj M., 2012) on his study entitled, “Effectiveness of Electronic
Classroom for Teaching General Science and Secondary Level”. Previously the teachers has to
stand still with the projector to explain the content but now Smart TV allow teachers to roam
around and deliver their lesson in the whole class(Hedayat, F. 2017) on his study entitled,
”Introducing Smart TVs in Classroom an Innovative Learning Method”. For this, the instruction
can then ask one students to share their insights with the rest of the class strengthening the
absorption of knowledge.(WGU, 2018)on his study entitled, “Teaching Strategy for using
Educational Movies on the Classroom”. A study was conducted by Lal, (2003) on Quality
Educational Program for children and found out that if media is for education purposes it
enriches learning experiences. They also suggested that production on a quality educational
media programmer relevant to the subject and to different stages of education facilitate enriched
learning experience.(Lal, H.,2003) Learning from smart TV is really fun, Hedayat (2017) on his
study entitled,” Introducing Smart TVs in Classroom can Innovative Learning Method.”

Research Methodology
In this chapter, the researchers show the processes on how the researchers conduct the
research and the procedures on how the researchers gather the necessary data. Also, this chapter
presents the criteria on how were the respondents were chosen and where the research is being
conducted. Furthermore, in this chapter the research design being used is described and how it
Research Design
In addition, this includes better understanding of meanings and evolvement of new theories.
However, this design required more time and other sources for data collection. Orbick (2007)
states that phenomenology is an appropriate approach when a researcher tries to understand the
underlying meaning and also the essence of an experience from participants point of view. In
connection with this, the researcher uses this design because the researchers want to study the
experiences of grade 11 students when it comes in utilization of smart tv as a new learning tool,
also on how the smart tv nourished their classroom skills and what work-based being developed.
As follows, this design is also applicable for the respondents which are grade 11 students, which
the researchers believe has more experiences of having smart tv as a new learning tool.
The researchers had chosen the Senior high school students, specifically the
grade 11 students as the respondents of the study since they met the criteria of the study which is
to identify students which has partly high experience in utilization of technology. They were the
respondents for the level of their education gets higher from junior to senior high, perhaps it is
evident in their stage the importance of technology on their learning most especially the
acquisition of knowledge. Moreover, the grade 11 are the selected respondents for in this school
as in their level individuals would already undergo work-immersion and they should have
potentials to face this field and this study would beneficially help them. The overall population
of the respondents nis 517 wherein 15 were chosen to participate in the conduction of the study
about the utilization of smart tv as integral learning tool bridging classroom skills to work-based
skills. The respondents are purposively selected to answer the queers defined in the study.
Research Instrument
This study used a descriptive instrument, particularly, a semi-structured interview
guide questionnaire where it could have some follow-up questions. This serve as guide of the
researchers in conducting the interview. The questions are specified to the focus of the study that

The study is conducted inside the Sisters of Mary School-Girlstown Inc., this is a
sectarian school which is 5 hectares lot along the J.P. Rizal Street Talisay City, Cebu,
Philippines. This school was founded by an american priest named Venerable Aloysius Philip
Schwartz which recruits the poorest of the poor children over the past years to educate them
mentally and spiritually. This school is also committed for the youth’s future which school
provide scholarly education following K-12 program. In addition, this offers the children to learn
Technical Vocational Track namely: Technical Drafting, Electronic Products Assembling and
System because of these, students are well trained. This training of the students ate all free
known as non-profit school. Moreover, this school have two workshops, one senior high building
and three 7 storey building corresponding to dormitories and classrooms which serves as a
comfortable place for their training and learning. Subsequently, this environment is suitable for
the study since the school has adapted the new conventional method which is the utilization of
Smart Tv into the classroom. The school has developed it’s higher quality of education as it
adapts the new teaching tool from those projector, chalk, blackboards and visual aids that is the
most commonly used before. The school have basketball courts, volleyball courts, paths for the
runners and a swimming pool. As of this time, the scholl generates first 2 batches who graduated
in the senior high school. The school is continuously serving the students who came from less
privileged families, also continue pursuing the mission and vision of the school.
Sampling Procedure
To acquire respondents for this research, the researchers utilized purposive non-
random sampling and purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is a technique used to select
purposively the respondents of the research. Polit et al (2001), define a sample as a proportion of
a population. In this research, the researchers purposively chose the respondents from the set of
criteria and that is respondents should be grade eleven students whose population is 517 and only
