In your Field Study 1, you have learned that action research is a dynamic process that is categorized under applied
research. It is focused on solving practitioners’ local problems wherein an action plan plays a significant role in the execution
of such work (Johnson & Christensen, 2020). Yes, you heard and read it right - for a teacher’s life, conducting action
research is an advocacy since the primary purpose of it is to improve school practices and solve classroom-based teaching
and learning related issues to find applicable ways and means to address existing or present issue that usually bother
practitioners’ execution of their job. So, let us now put into practice the theories that you have learned by preparing an action
plan that will serve as your guide and frame of reference in doing Classroom-Based Action Research (CBAR).

I. Introduction
A large body of research links student engagement to academic achievement, making it a critical component
of a positive school climate. As time passes and the educational system advances, teachers devote significant time
to developing new methods of communicating course material in an effective and beneficial manner to all students.
As technology becomes more prevalent in modern society, methods for effectively implementing digital applications
into the classroom have become a major focus in the educational community. Incorporating digital technologies into
the classroom can result in significant improvements in student engagement and learning, ensuring that students are
keeping up with the demands of a technologically based world. Instructors play a critical role in ensuring that students
effectively engage with technology. Today's students have grown up in the use of electronic devices should not be
viewed as a distraction, but rather as a means of increasing student engagement. In order for students to get the
most out of each lesson, educators should ensure that the material is presented in such a way that the work has
clear meaning and immediate value for them.
Countless studies have established that the electronic devices are a beneficial supplement to the education
system. According to the study of Nah, Lim, and Yih (2012), electronic devices facilitate and expound student-
centered learning by providing additional functions that allow students to take an active role in the classroom. Their
independence and ability to control their learning pace through the use of these devices has promoted personalized.
Moreover, research revealed that the use of digital devices in a ubiquitous computing environment was capable of
facilitating faculty- student interactions and in-class participation, which in turn enhanced engagement and active
learning (Fitch, 2004; Partee, 1996; Stephens, 2005).
FIELD STUDY 2
This action research intends to improve utilizing electronic devices to boost the classroom engagement of
grade 10 students in Bayambang National High School. It also promotes positive effects of using technology in order
to enhance and level up the quality of teaching and learning process. It also illustrates that the right use and
application of technology it would surely contributes in terms of betterment or improvement especially in education.
RELATED LITERATURE
An article published by Taylor & Francis Online expresses the goal of Sweden becoming a world leader in
digitalization. On the other hand, as in many other parts of the world, there is heated public debate about the
increasing prevalence of smartphones in the hands of school-aged students. These debates construct a variety of
pedagogical, social, and cognitive threats that smartphones may pose to children and young adults (Ott 2017).
Educators in Sweden are dealing with governmental demands for and expectations of this process as the
country's educational system undergoes a thorough push toward digitization. As part of what are referred to as "21st
century skills and competences," numerous national and international programs push for increasing individuals'
digital literacy and emphasize equal access to digital technology (OECD 2016; Redecker 2017), (OECD 2016, 9).
According to Hassoun (2015) and Ott (2017), personal smartphones have mostly been viewed as a source
of disruption and distraction rather than a potential resource for learning. Aside from studies on public debate (Ott
2017), research on smartphones in the classroom has revealed a link between student school performance and
phone bans. However, the outcomes have been contradictory (Amez and Baert, 2019). While some studies suggest
that smartphones can harm students' academic performance (Beland and Murphy 2016; Amez et al. 2021; Lee et al.
2021), others claim that phones have a positive effect (Kuznekoff, Munz, and Titsworth, 2015) or have no effect at
FIELD STUDY 2
Olin-Scheller and colleagues (2020) illustrate in a Swedish context that smartphones do not primarily appear
as a disruption in the classroom, but rather are used intermittently when the intensity of teaching subsides, and in
ways that conform to ordinary organizational and interactional classroom patterns. This article demonstrates that
there is a tension between visualizing the electronic devices as a social and educational resource within the
According to Corcoran (2018), students who used tablet apps performed better than those who did not. As
a result of Corcoran's research, the use of tablet apps during reading instruction had a statistically significant impact
on student achievement. Technology has a positive impact on education, and the people of the Philippines have
taken notice.
An article in The Manila Times highlights a study conducted by Houghton Mifflin highlights that students
using iPads performed better in math compared to students using traditional textbooks. There are other countless
studies shows the benefit of electronic devices in studying so it is easy to understand why the Philippines is looking
to increase its use of technology for improving education in the country (Espinosa, 2016).
RELATED STUDIES
Several research studies have been done locally and abroad concerning the present topic. Some of these
studies which are closely related to the present study undertaken have been selected and reviewed.
Foreign Studies
Bebell and O’Dwyer (2010) examined four different empirical studies of laptop programs in schools. They
discovered that in most schools participating in one-to-one programs there were significant increases in grade-point
averages or standardized tests of student achievement, relative to schools that did not provide such programs. In
addition, they found that most students used their laptops to write, browse the Internet, make presentations, do
homework, or take tests. Furthermore, teachers made more changes to their teaching methods when they had

increased opportunities to use laptops. Students participating in one-to-one programs also had a deeper engagement
Frohberg, Goth, and Schwabe (2009) categorized 102 mobile-learning projects, and discovered that most mobile-
learning activities occurred across different settings, and took place within a physical context and an official
environment, such as a classroom or workplace. Regarding the pedagogical roles that mobile devices play in
education, most research has used mobile devices primarily as a sort of reinforcement tool to stimulate motivation
and strengthen engagement, and secondarily as a content-delivery tool. Few projects have used mobile devices to
assist with constructive thinking or reflection. Furthermore, most learning activities using mobile devices have been
controlled by the teacher, with there being only a handful of learner-centered projects in existence. Concerning
communication functions, very few projects have made any use of cooperative or team communication. Moreover,
the vast majority of studies have made use of novice participants; little research has involved experienced
participants. When sorted according to educational goals, it was found that the vast majority of research has focused
on lower-level knowledge and skills, and ignored higher-level tasks such as analysis and evaluation.
In the study of Kulik (1994), the researcher used a technique called meta-analysis to aggregate the findings
from more than 500 individual studies of computer-based instruction. Computer-based instruction individualizes
the educational process to accommodate the needs interests and learning styles of each student. The study found
that students who used computer-based instruction scored at the 64th percentile on test achievement compared to
students in the control conditions without computers who scored at the percentile. This study helps to show that
student achievement can be affected positively, especially through assessment scores. Students also tend to like
their classes more and develop more positive attitudes toward learning which results in positive academic
achievement.

Local Studies
According to the study of Mariano (2017), the Philippine government has been committed to bringing the
educational system into a modernized status, particularly on basic education, in its effort to make each and every
student at par with other students of neighbouring developed countries. Our country is now capable to utilize and
produce information and transforming it into knowledge and a vast array of goods and services. The Department of
Education (DEPED) initiated a computerization program in 1996 with the goal of preparing Filipino students for
employment and competitive career by teaching them to master new forms of technology. They also would like to
harness and enhance the power of technology toward developing the entire teaching-learning process, specifically
in its bid to make each and every public-school student empowered in this highly globalized and integrated world
economy.
A study by Mendoza, Caranto, & David (2015) entitled the Effectiveness of Video Presentation to Students’
Learning states that the level of effectiveness in using video presentation in students’ learning is highly effective. The
high use rate suggests that students broadly accept and use video lectures as a form of computer-based instruction
and as an enhancement of traditional classroom courses. Moreover, 31.5% viewed the video in advance of classroom
lectures, 72.2% used it to do homework, 72.4% used it to prepare for examinations, 63% agreed that video is good
for tutoring help and 38.9% believed that it helped to raise their course grade. This study is very helpful to the
The study Uplifting Education through Technology by Macasaet (2013) suggests that students benefit from
utilizing computers in their education by making school work easier; likewise, the instructors benefit from the usage
of technology in teaching. Gone are the days when instructors need to write out the topics on the chalkboard, prepare
a Manila paper to display a text, or show flash cards for Math drills. Now, presenting topics to students is as easy as
a click on the keyboard, as the text or illustration immediately unfolds onscreen in a slideshow presentation. This not
only makes preparing visual aids for class more efficient and less time-consuming, but it also helps keep the flow of
discussion inside the classroom more interesting and more engaging to the students. The modern classroom now

requires the use of computers, the internet, and mobile devices practically in every school activity. With this idea in
mind, the Department of Education has planned to modernize the Philippine classrooms in line with its K to 12
programs. Today, education at all levels is geared toward a computer-centric learning environment. Through the
implementation of technology inside the classroom, teachers and students can yield positive results within the
Technology plays a major role in creating a new and improved model of teaching and learning where
education happens anytime and anywhere. Technology has profoundly changed education in several ways.
Computer-based instruction individualizes the educational process to accommodate the needs interests and learning
styles of each student (Kulik, 1994). The Department of Education (DEPED) initiated in 1996 a computerization
program with the goal of preparing Filipino students for employment and competitive career by teaching them to
master new forms of technology (Mariano, 2017). The level of effectiveness in using video presentations in students’
learning is highly effective and proves that technology integration in education is very important (Mendoza, Caranto,
and David, 2015). Educational Technology has software programs that can make the learning process easier for
students with disabilities. Students really benefit from utilizing computers as well as the instructors (Macasaet, 2013),
and even students themselves prefer technology in the classroom for positive consequences enhancing learning-
related activities in the classroom. It gives students the opportunity to explore, learn by themselves, formulate their
questions, and answer their own confusions through exploring and discovering knowledge from a variety of resources
Technology ushers in fundamental structural changes that can be critical to achieving significant productivity

gains and is used to support both teaching and learning. Technology infuses classrooms with digital learning tools
such as computers and handheld devices, increasing student engagement and motivation and accelerating learning.
The related literature and studies have showed that the use of electronic devices enhances the learning of the
students. Thus, these will a guide the researchers to enhance the utilization of electronic devices in Grade 10
Generating alternative solutions for problem situations is a key component of effective problem solving this is used
to generate a variety of potential options for managing a problem, from which the most effective approach or
combination of approaches can be selected for implementation. For our study the E-Learning: Utilizing Electronic
Devices in the Classroom to Boost Learners’ Engagement that aims to answer the following electronic devices utilized
in the teaching and learning process, level of utilization of electronic devices in the teaching-learning process, level
of engagement of students in the teaching-learning process using electronic devices, and the significant relationship
between the level of engagement in the teaching-learning process and the utilization of electronic devices in the
classroom. According to D'Angelo (2018), Implementing technology into the curriculum provides instructors with an
invaluable opportunity to enhance student engagement and academic success thus implementing technology into
the curriculum shifts the learning environment to being more student-centered. He also stated that when introducing
a technological application into a classroom, it is important to consider whether the features of that technology are
suited to meet task outcomes. It is preferred that the technology is designed in such a way that it is easy to use for
both the instructor and students and possesses all the features necessary to promote student learning. Given this
idea, researcher suggest that it is best to have a fix television/monitor which teachers can use in the classroom for
the reason that we notice that since there is no permanent television/monitor in the classroom and the one student
are using is teachers provided they don’t have a permanent access to it and it cannot be fixed in their classroom wall
which led to the TV only being on a table that causes other student a small chance to see what is being flashed on
the screen. Another is the use of E-learning sites for examples are MS Teams and Google classroom since students

the screen. Another is the use of E-learning sites for examples are MS Teams and Google classroom since students
are already familiar with this site during the pandemic, they can easily use its features for example is that teacher
can give the lesson in advance as well as the one to be flashed on the TV/monitor during the discussion so that the
students have a gasp about what they are going to discuss and to do during the discussion. Furthermore, this gives
a chance for the students to have an advance reading which can result to an interactive and smoother flow of
discussion. According to Mansuri (2022), today’s learners want relevant, mobile, self-propelled and personalized
content and this need is met through online learning wherein students can learn according to their convenience and
necessity.
This action research aims to enhance the utilization of electronic devices in the classroom to boost the
engagement of Grade 10 Students in Bayambang National High School in the teaching and learning process.
Specifically, it seeks to answer the following:
1. What electronic devices utilized in the teaching and learning process of the Grade 10 students?
3. What is the level of engagement of Grade 10 Students in the teaching-learning process using electronic devices?
4. Is there a significant relationship between the level of engagement of Grade 10 Students in the teaching-learning
process and the utilization of electronic devices in the classroom?
This action research limits its coverage to the Grade 10 Students in Bayambang National High School. It
seeks to boost engagement in the teaching and learning process by enhancing the utilization of electronic devices in
the classroom. The researchers mainly focus on the improvement of the usage of electronic devices in the classroom.
Moreover, the action plan formulated will be implemented in approximately four (4) months. This action research plan
is limited to answering the following: electronic devices utilized in the teaching and learning process, level of utilization
of electronic devices in the teaching-learning process, level of engagement of students in the teaching-learning
process using electronic devices, and the significant relationship between the level of engagement in the teaching-
learning process and the utilization of electronic devices in the classroom.

Using one adjective, describe your experience as a group in accomplishing the activity in general and in
writing the four parts, from introduction to the plan of action, of your classroom-based action research in
particular. Why did you choose that adjective?
As the leader of our group, I will describe our experience as COOPERATIVE. It is with my humble brag that we
are not causing any trouble or disruptions in assigning workloads to my groupmates. They simply accept and do
their part with full effort and dedication to achieve our common goal of finishing and meeting deadlines. But I
always make certain that work is distributed fairly and based on their ability to complete the assigned task;
fortunately, we all have the means to complete the task, so no complaints get in my way whenever there are
activities. In this recent FS2 activity, I assigned the task as early as today and gave them a deadline of tomorrow,
but they finished their work and handed it in to me that evening. As a result, I can describe my groupmates as
cooperative and diligent, working with passion and dedication to complete the task on time.
I am looking froward to achieve more goals with these people. The are worth to trust with all the works and other
activities we are doing for this entire field study journey.
