Chapter 1: Introduction
School education plays a great role in everyone’s life. It is a tool that equips people
with knowledge, skill, technique, and information and enables them to understand their
responsibilities to their families, communities, and country. But people cannot deny the
fact that students like senior high students and colleges, with a high responsibility in terms
of education are constantly facing ever-changing challenges in their everyday lives in terms
of it. They need proper materials or any devices that can help them in the world of
education. They need something to guide them from their projects, activities, thesis,
programs, forms, studies, professions, and more. According to Harris (2016),“Today’s
educators are under great pressure to provide 21st century students with a quality education
based on 21st century standards. Those standards include providing students with the
technological and informational skills needed to compete in an ever-changing, technology-
driven world.”
That is why the Free Microsoft account or the Free Microsoft 365 office exists.
Students and educators at eligible institutions can sign up for Office 365 Education for free,
including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and now Microsoft Teams, plus additional
classroom tools. According to Klopfer, et al. (2009), “Every day, many students are
spending countless hours immersed in popular technologies—such as Facebook, Myspace,
World of Warcraft, or Sim City”. In today’s classroom, technology is becoming a more
1
prominent form of learning. In relation to, free Microsoft 365 is part of the technology,
which students use in their learnings.
For students, a free Office 365 subscription is a great option because it enables them
to work together on well-known web applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In a
single, cost-effective solution that is specifically designed for education, it also gives
teachers the ability to unleash creativity, encourage teamwork, and offer a straightforward,
safe experience. The most popular set of office tools is Microsoft Office. It comes with
several tools, such as a word processor, spreadsheet program, and presentation program.
You can be qualified for a complimentary Microsoft 365 membership if you work as a
school administrator, teacher, or student. For students on a tight budget, especially those
who can not or do not want to pay the full price for the Office Suite, the Microsoft Office
student bundle is an excellent option.
Therefore, the reason why the researchers conducted this study, is to discover and
to know the contributions or importance of a free Microsoft account to certain students.
The positive impact or effectiveness of a free Microsoft account will be the focus and
should be emphasized through this study. The purpose of the study is to give credit to this
kind of application because it has been a big help in the world of education. This study is
intended to educate and give information to those students who are having a hard time with
their studies, to make their learning experiences easier. And to the educators who need a
companion at work to make their work lighter. The findings from this study will contribute
2
to existing knowledge on the effectiveness of free Microsoft account to the learning
experiences of students.

Chapter 2: Review of Related Literature
This chapter presents the related literature and studies after the thorough and in-depth search
done by the researchers. It focuses on several aspects that will help in the development of this
study. The study is generally concentrating on the effective of free Microsoft account to the
Grade 12 GAS 2 of Young Achievers’ School of Caloocan Inc.
Foreign Literature
“In the pandemic context due to COVID-19, Microsoft 365 took on a prominent role as
the preferred tool of many schools. It offered powerful tools to promote learning,
collaboration, communication, and creating an environment safe reliable” (Escola et al, 2022
p.242). According to them, Microsoft 365 became one of the most useful tools for students
and teachers during or amidst the pandemic. Though non-face-to-face interaction or
communication is conducted, students are still able to experience classes and learn some
lessons or learning because of it.
Aires, Escola & Lopes (2021) conducted in their literature that “The Microsoft 365
encompasses a huge variety of applications, features, and possibilities, so it was and is a
powerful friend in distance learning and a unique solution for a combined learning experience,
accessible through mobile communications, mobile phone, tablet or computer” (para 2). They
explained that Microsoft 365 has a lot of applications that are accessible and powerful to use,
8
during students and teachers distance interactions. Which this features can be use to any
available gadgets or materials like everyday phones, tablet, computer and more.
“Teachers can post assignments to individuals, small groups, or the full class using the
assignment function in Teams” (Allison & Hudson, 2020; Pretorius, 2018). They explained
that in their practice they could adjust assignments to everyone in their diverse classroom of
learning styles and academic abilities. In brief, the teachers can exploit features provided in
Microsoft Teams. The features include scheduling the meeting, sharing invitation links to the
students to join the meeting, conducting web conference, interacting in the web conference,
sharing files or documents, sharing screen or desktop, communicating in chatting box,
changing the role of participants to attendee or presenter, recording web conference, as well
as downloading the recording.
Foreign Studies
“Blended learning along with the face-to-face delivery of the content are more effective or
perhaps more beneficial than other models” (S. Mcdonald et al, 2020, p.3064) So the
researchers thinks that free microsoft account can actually helps on the students learning
experience in terms of delivery of the contents because the delivery of the contents thru
microsoft are fast.
“The online education pros are convenience, less expensive, technology, and etc.” (D.
kumar, 2010, p.2) Its true because online education doesn’t need commuting so it’s doesn’t
need travel cost also, and they can go to school whenever they want.
9
“The average students in online learning conditions performed modestly better than those
receiving face-to-face instruction” (B.Means et al ,2013, p.2) The researches think its true
because some students performs better in online class than face-to-face class because in online
class you are in full focus in studying.
Local Literature
“The outbreak of the pandemic had resulted in numerous damages and issues in every part
of people’s life. In terms of education, there is a sudden shift from face-to-face classes to online
learning. Different types of learning management systems (LMS) were used by the schools.
Microsoft teams is one of it.” (Laquindanum, p. 30, 2022) He stated the purpose of this study
was to explore and determine the Microsoft 365 that the Microsoft is simple and easy to use.
However, it needs faster internet connection for the Microsoft teams to work well.
“Due to the pandemic, most state universities and collages in the Philippines had to shift to
educational delivery that is accessible everywhere with the use of technology. Several learning
management systems are available, and one of the new tools available was released by
Microsoft” (De Guzman et al.., p. 40, 2021) as stated to him the Microsoft 365 is useful tool
like Google forms used to collect responses. Google sheets was used to export the gathered data
for pivot analysis. Microsoft 365 it will help to student for free, including Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, OneNote, and now Microsoft Teams,
“Due to the restrictions imposed to stop the spread of COVID 19, most schools and
universities around the world have shifted from traditional face-to-face classes on the online
10
learning modality. Consequently, online learning and other related concepts became prominent
topics to study during the pandemic. Yet, there is a scarcity of research regarding Microsoft
Teams as a learning platform” (Francisco, p.16,2022) According to him Microsoft teams is one
of better learning outcomes for students and transform classroom time, leaving teachers more
time to engage with students.
Local Studies
“The advantages of using online learning in medical education include improved
accessibility of information, ease of standardizing and updating content, cost-effectiveness,
accountability, and enhancement of the learning process, wherein students are motivated to be
active learners.” (Chen BY, et al., 2019 p12). High-quality health professions education can be
accessed anywhere thanks to online curricular. By standardizing curriculum resources and
individualized curriculum experiences, they can improve teaching and learning. Many medical
educators lack a framework for online curriculum development, despite increased institutional
interest in and demand for online curricular for medical education.
“Online learning can provide students with foundational knowledge and confidence before
exposure to real or standardized patients. “(Ellman MS, Schwartz ML., 2016 p13). Online
learning resources are becoming more frequently included into basic and clinical science
curricular by undergraduate medical instructors. The variety of online learning resources and
the variety of ways in which they can be used for in-person and classroom instruction. The
presentation of core knowledge as part of the “flipped classroom” methodology, the
11
representation of a typical physical examination findings, and increased clinical communication
skills are highlighted as particular benefits of these tools.
“Many students even think that the quality of education has diminished because they spend th
e most of their time studying alone, without much assistance from their professors, due of the
current setup for distance learning.” (L. Giray et al, p.20, 2022) Its true because some of the
students doesn’t want to study alone because they get bored easily and that is why they are
getting low academic performance.

Chapter 3: Research Design and Methodology
Research Design
Descriptive research design is used in this research as the researchers only studying
the background and definition of "Free Microsoft" and "Learning Experience" which are
the Independent and dependent variable of this research. In other words, the researchers
are only measuring the two. Under the descriptive research design, the group uses cross-
sectional method to further study the relationship of the two variables as it focuses the
correlation of independent and dependent variable.
Sampling Procedure
The way in which the researchers selected a sample of individuals to be the research
participants in our survey was through simple random sampling. Simple random sampling
is a type of probability sampling in which the researcher randomly selects a subset of
participants from a population. In our case, since the respondents are from Grade 12 GAS
students and there are 2 sections in this strand, the researchers randomly selected 25
students per section for the total of 50.
Participants of the Study
13
The respondents of the study are composed of students in grade 12 Gas students of
Young Achiever's School of Caloocan Inc. Twenty-five students from Gas 1 and 2 were
selected as responses. The researchers selected the students since they were appropriate
and relevant to the study.
Data Gathering Procedure
A letter of request to conduct the study was prepared. The researchers asked for
permission and the signature of the Grade 12 coordinator, Mr. Alfredo Moran, and their
research teacher, Ms. Jenny Grace Ellarte, to conduct a survey. The researchers created a
questionnaire checklist, validated by the Teacher and then the final questionnaire was
distributed. They stated the importance of their research to the respondents and requested
to answer their survey honestly and accurately. They clarify some terms to the respondents
so that they can answer the questionnaire with full knowledge of their responsibility as the
subject of the study. After the respondents answered the questionnaires, the researcher
collected and tailed the data for interpretation. And based on the data, they come up with
the conclusion recommendations for this study.
Research Instrument
The instrument used to collect data was the survey questionnaire. It offers a fast,
and efficient means of gathering large amounts of information from sizeable sample
14
volumes. Besides the respondents are Senior High School Students, they could read and
answer the questionnaire with ease.
Part I of the research instrument is consist of demographics. Respondents need to
put their name, grade, section and strand. Part 2 of our survey is close-ended questions that
are answerable by agree, strongly agree, neutral, disagree and strongly disagree. This will
be the basis to determine the effectiveness of the Microsoft in his/her learning experience.
The copies of the questionnaires were distributed personally by the researcher to the
respondents.
Statistical treatment
The statistical treatment that the researchers use are mean median mode,
Percentage, and Weighted mean
I.
Mean
Is the sum of all values divided by the total number of values
∑𝑥
𝑚=
𝑁
Where:
15
m=mean
Σ x sum of all data points
N= number of data point
Median
Arranging the data points from smallest to largest.
Mode
The mode is one of the main measurements of the central tendency of a sample or
a population. The mode is particularly important in social research because it is the only
measure of central tendency that is relevant for any data set.
II.
Percentage
A data presentation that indicates the proportion of observations for each data point
or set of data points is known as a percentage frequency distribution. When representing
the relative frequency of survey replies and other data, it is a particularly helpful technique.
𝑓
𝑃= 𝑥100
𝑁
16
Where:
P= Percentage
f= Frequency
N= Number of Respondents
III.
Weighted Mean
The weighted mean equation is a statistical technique that determines the average
by summing the weights' individual means. Weights are used in this particular sort of
averaging to assess the relative relevance of each observation.
Weighted mean = 𝚺𝐰𝐱/𝚺𝐰
Σ = summation (in other words…add them up!).
w = the weights.
x = the value.
17
IV.
Likert Scale
A psychometric scale called a Likert scale is frequently used in studies that use
questionnaires. Although there are different forms of rating scales, it is the most generally
used method of sizing replies in survey research, leading to frequent use of the term as a
synonym for rating scale.

the learning experiences of Grade 12 GAS 2 students, the researchers were able to conclude
the following conclusion:
2. The researchers concluded through the survey that the free Microsoft account is a
big help or advantage to the learning experiences of the students. None of its applications can
be considered as useless, because students can have a lot of benefits from it. The researchers
concluded that the free Microsoft account can be considered as a support for activities, files,
data, for student's passion and goals and especially when they are doing their presentations for
reports.
3. The research concluded in their study that the Grade 12 GAS students of Young
Achievers’ School of Caloocan, Inc. often used their free Microsoft Account during online
classes. Last year, the school of Young Achievers' School of Caloocan, Inc. conducted a face-

Recommendation
Realizing the implications of this research study, the researchers would like to
recommend the following ideas to the following individuals:
2. The researchers recommend that the free Microsoft account can give a lot of advantages
to the students. It is beneficial to their paperwork, meetings, activities, reporting, storing
files, organizing data, and more. Therefore, this kind of application should be commonly
used by the students and must be prioritized over any other applications on their devices.
It is also recommended that this kind of application be introduced to many students,
especially at the higher levels like senior high school or college, where there are more
responsibilities in terms of education.
32
3. The researchers found that some of the applications in the free Microsoft account
are often used by the students, especially when they are having online classes, so it is very
helpful to them. Therefore, the researchers recommend that every free Microsoft account of
the students should have more features and templates in every application that the Microsoft
have, which it should be accessible on any devices, even on mobile phones. The researchers
also recommend that this kind of application be free until the next generation so that a lot of
students will be benefited.
4. The researchers found that the free Microsoft account have several effects in the
learning experiences of the students and one of these is, the Microsoft account can help the
students to make easier to share their important files and information to the teachers and their
classmates as well. Therefore, the researchers recommend that the students and even on the
teachers, must maintain to use and continue to give importance to this kind of application. As
well as, the researchers recommend to those students and teachers who are still not familiar
with this account, that they must need to be introduce with this application.
5. The researchers found out that most of the students exposed to the educational
application using the free Microsoft account. Therefore, the researchers recommend to the
next researchers that they can explore more applications that student more often use using free
Microsoft account. For instance, Quizlet, Flashcards application, Kahoot etc. Those
33
