ABSTRACT
The digital age has provided new opportunities for
preserving cultural heritage, and websites can play a
crucial role in this process. Culture is the background of
every human communication. Cultural embedding as a feature
of texts in general is also valid in technical and
scientific texts. As translation by humans is based on
understanding, the translator needs knowledge in order to
detect cultural aspects. This is possible by putting down
implicit cultural references to certain structures
The study focused on the Preserving the Past through
Google Site: An Innovative Tool in Saving Arts, History and
Culture of Bibiclat. The researchers used the descriptive
design under the quantitative research method. The
respondents of the study are the teachers of ICT and Araling
Panlipunan in secondary schools will participate in this
study as respondents. This investigation will take place for
Barangay Bibiclat. Other problems that aren't necessarily
related to the subject will not be covered in this study.

The researchers used the weighted mean for identifying
the correlation of motivation, and satisfaction to the
students’ academic performance. The mean difference was used
to know if the treatment of synchronous virtual classroom is
effective.
As a result, the researchers found out the mean _ which
is declared as effective for the people to knowing about
their knowledge in Bibiclat, Aliaga, Nueva Ecija’s culture,
tools and history.
The implications drawn based on the results are the
session more engaging to the knowledge of bibiclat people in
preserving the past through google sites. Through history,
the people of Bibiclat, Aliaga, Nueva Ecija can learn how
past societies, systems, ideologies, governments, cultures
and technologies were built, how they operated, and how they
have changed. The rich history of the world helps us to
paint a detailed picture of where we stand today. All this
knowledge makes them more rounded people who are better
prepared to learn in all their academic subjects.

Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction
Preserving history and culture is an important aspect
of maintaining the identity and heritage of a society. With
the advent of the internet, websites have become a powerful
tool for preserving cultural heritage and disseminating
information about historical sites and artifacts. Websites
can provide a platform for individuals, organizations, and
governments to showcase their cultural heritage, share
knowledge, and educate the public.
This research aims to explore the role of websites in
preserving history and culture. It will examine the various
types of websites used for cultural preservation, including
digital archives, online museums, and cultural tourism
websites. The study will also investigate the benefits and
challenges of using websites for cultural preservation,
including accessibility, accuracy, and sustainability.
The digital age has provided new opportunities for
preserving cultural heritage, and websites can play a
crucial role in this process. Digital archives, for example,
provide a platform for preserving and sharing historical
documents, photographs, and recordings. Online museums can
5
showcase cultural artifacts to a global audience, while
cultural tourism websites can promote and preserve
traditional customs and practices.
While the use of websites for cultural preservation has
many advantages, it also presents challenges. The accuracy
of information, accessibility for different audiences, and
the sustainability of websites over time are all important
factors to consider. Additionally, the ethical
considerations of using digital platforms for cultural
heritage preservation, such as ownership and representation,
are also important to address.
According to the University of Wisconsin history gives
us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past, it
positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be
invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial
perspective for understanding (and solving!) current and
future problems. For example, a course on the history of
public health might emphasize how environmental pollution
disproportionately affects less affluent communities – a
major factor in the Flint water crisis. Understanding
immigration patterns may provide crucial background for
addressing ongoing racial or cultural tensions. In many
ways, history interprets the events and causes that
contributed to our current world.

This research will contribute to the understanding of
the role of websites in preserving history and culture. It
will explore the different types of websites used for
cultural preservation, their benefits and challenges, and
the ethical considerations involved. By examining the use of
websites in cultural preservation, this study will provide
insights into how digital platforms can be used to promote
and preserve cultural heritage for future generations.
Review of Related Literature
History is one of the most important academic pursuits
of any child’s education. Here, the researchers outline the
importance of learning history and reveal study tips for
pupils. We all live in the present and we plan for the
future – but how do we understand where we’re going and what
progress looks like? To know exactly where you’re going, you
first need to understand where you have come from. For that
you need an appreciation of history.
History is one of the most respected and most valuable
academic subjects your child will learn. This guide takes a
deep dive into the importance of learning history at school,
7
plus a few tips for studying it effectively. Studying the
History gives them benefits like:
1. Develop an Understanding of the World
Through history, we can learn how past societies,
systems, ideologies, governments, cultures and technologies
were built, how they operated, and how they have changed.
The rich history of the world helps us to paint a detailed
picture of where we stand today.
Developing your knowledge of history means developing
your knowledge of all these different aspects of life.
Children can learn about the pillars upon which different
civilizations were built, including cultures and people
different from their own. All this knowledge makes them more
rounded people who are better prepared to learn in all their
academic subjects.
2. Become a More Rounded Person
History is full of stories. Some are inspiring and
uplifting; others are chaotic and immoral. Tap into the
vivid realm of history, and there are many vital lessons
your child needs to learn. They will study times of
suffering and times of joy, and the lessons they learn here
can then be applied to their own life experience. History
8
also encourages a deeper understanding of difference. There
are lessons, both good and bad, to be learned from the way
our ancestors have interacted with other people who have
different ways of living. In a modern world where
inclusivity is embraced no matter your background, an
understanding of how past societies have integrated is key
to humanity improving in the future.
3. Understand Identity
Nations are made up of a collection of stories and
legends. These stories shape the way we think about our
country and our standing within it. History is where we
learn about how great institutions are formed, and how
they’ve contributed to where we are today.
For many of us, looking back at incredible fellow
countrymen is a way of establishing our own identity.
Finding who we are and what mark we can make on the world is
a huge part of childhood. Allowing children to learn about
the identity of their country is one way of facilitating
that.
4. Become Inspired
Those historical stories can also serve to inspire
individuals to greatness. History remembers brilliant people
9
and their heroic acts that have changed the shape of
nations. You get a huge amount of motivation from learning
about the inspirational events that make up where we are
today. It only takes one great story from the pages of
history to light up children’s imagination and spur them on
to do great things.
5. Learn from Mistakes
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to
repeat it.” George Santayana’s quote is one of academia’s
most cited and paraphrased lines, and one that explains
perfectly why everyone should study history. The past is
filled with warning signs. We must be able to reflect on the
events that built up to them, learn from mistakes made
and resist and question if we see similar patterns
emerging.
If your child studies history, they will be able to
identify when society is going down perilous routes and
contribute towards getting it back on track.
6. Develop Transferrable Skills
History is a respected academic pursuit that challenges
our intellect. Students must analyze information that may
not have one clear interpretation before offering a balanced
10
conclusion. Critical thought is at the heart of every
challenging intellectual pursuit. The ability to question
and evaluate information is one that applies to workplaces
in many industries, and Nord Anglia Education strive to
provide the necessary transferrable skills to all our
students. History is one of the best subjects for
stimulating and developing this ability. (Nord Anglia, 2020)
The term ‘historical ecology’ has been used with
various meanings since the first half of the 20th century.
Studies labeled as historical ecology have been produced in
at least four academic disciplines: history, ecology,
geography and anthropology.
Although all those involved seem to agree that
historical ecology concerns the historical
interconnectedness of nature and human culture, this field
of study has no unified methodology, specialized
institutional background and common publication forums.
Knowledge of the development of historical ecology is also
limited. As a result, the current multitude of definitions
of historical ecology is accompanied by divergent opinions
as to where the origins of the field are to be sought.
(Szabó, 2015)
11
History involves developing an understanding of the
past through the examination and interpretation of evidence.
Evidence may exist in the form of texts, physical remains of
historic sites, recorded data, pictures, maps, artifacts,
and so on. The historian’s job is to find evidence, analyze
its content and biases, corroborate it with further
evidence, and use that evidence to develop an interpretation
of past events that holds some significance for the present.
(William,2018)
People pursue artistic and creative expression through
a variety of outlets: formal theatrical performances,
sculptures, paintings, and buildings; as well as the less
formal arts, music and food festivals, celebrations and
informal cultural gatherings, pickup bands, and crafts
groups. Together, these formal and informal, tangible and
intangible, professional and amateur artistic and cultural
activities constitute a community’s cultural assets. These
activities – which encompass a diverse set of locations,
spaces, levels of professionalism and participation,
products, events, consumers, creators, and critics – are
essential to a community’s well-being, economic and cultural
vitality, sense of identity, and heritage. (Mimar, 2013)
12
Studying history helps us understand how events in the
past made things the way they are today. With lessons from
the past, we not only learn about ourselves and how we came
to be, but also develop the ability to avoid mistakes and
create better paths for our societies.
Events in the past have displaced families and groups,
changing the makeup of regions and often causing tensions.
Such events have also created government systems that have
lasted generations beyond when they started. And all of it
affects each person alive today. (Schana, 2020)
Take the Great Depression, for example—one of the most
difficult but impactful periods in American history. The
economic crisis put almost 15 million people out of work and
sent countless families into homelessness, stealing their
sense of security. Many of those people would feel insecure
for the rest of their lives.
The government had to learn how to help. This effort
gave rise to Social Security, federal emergency relief
programs, and funding for unemployment efforts. These
changes continue to make life more secure for millions of
Americans.
13
Society today comes from hundreds and thousands of
actions like these. The more you learn about how these
things happened, the better you understand real life.
History isn’t a study of others. The people you learn
about may have lived decades or even centuries ago, but
their actions directly affect how we live our lives today.
Events that seem like dates on a page have been turning
points in the story of our societies.
“Historical knowledge is no more and no less than
carefully and critically constructed collective memory.” –
(William H, 2017)
Simply said, cultural preservation refers to the act of
upholding historic cultures, whether they come from powerful
states or remote native tribes. Researching and learning
languages, recovering historical artefacts’ that are
important to the culture or history, and promoting the usage
of rituals or languages that are relevant to the group can
all help. “Although it seems like the most obvious thing to
do, this doesn’t happen enough due to the lack of awareness
causing not only culture but also traditions and languages
to eventually cease to exist.”
e. Preserving cultural heritage such as sites,
buildings, shrines, landmarks and even monuments of
14
historical and cultural significance. It reflects on the
heritage which shapes one's belief, aspirations and values
keeping the integrity of people. Another importance of
preserving one's heritage and culture is the knowledge of it
being passed down from one generation to the next. The value
of this is extremely important for the minority groups but
the bigger nations as well. If people continue to let
heritage and culture die out, the future generations become
less dynamic. We should instead learn from these
perspectives and knowledge accumulated over generations -
who knows, they might help us solve our current problems.
Every country has its own culture and national identity that
sets it apart from other societies. It can be defined as the
language, beliefs, values, and norms that combine to make up
the way of life in any society. Every culture has their
unique way of viewing the world, solving problems and
different takes on religion. Culture also identifies who a
person is or where they come from. That alone is worth
preserving - don’t you think? Safeguarding all the various
cultures from around the world will help to protect the
native viewpoints. If we don’t stop to consider the
importance of cultural preservation, all these age-old
traditions and heritage will start to disappear and we will
lose our identities (Buddyzmalaysia, 2020)

Theoretical Framework
This study is supported by the Theory of Cultural
Materialism, which is the study of culture by studying its
artifacts, its product (its materials), and how it changed
the environment (or landscape) it lived in. This theory is
16
inspired by Marxist thought that says that cultural values
are expressed through economic behavior, communities, and
practices.
This theory has 2 main part Marxism and Cultural
Materialism. Marxism is the theory developed by Karl Marx
that focuses on the role of class struggle in shaping
history and culture. According to Marxism, the dominant
class in any society controls the means of production and
uses this power to maintain its position, while the working
class is oppressed and exploited. Marx believed that history
was driven by a series of class struggles, culminating in a
proletarian revolution what would overthrow capitalism.
While Culture Materialism is the theory developed by
Raymond Williams, this theory focuses on the ways in which
materials conditions and economic systems shape culture and
history. According to cultural materialism, the way people
think and behave is influenced by their social and economic
environment, and this environment can be studied
scientifically to understand cultural change over time.

Procedures.
Research Design
25
For this study, the researchers use qualitative
approach.Qualitative research is a type of research that
explores and provides deeper insights into real-world
problems. Instead of collecting numerical data points or
intervene or introduce treatments just like in quantitative
research, qualitative research helps generate hypotheses as
well as further investigate and understand quantitative
data. Qualitative research gathers participants'
experiences, perceptions, and behavior. It answers the how
and why instead of how many or how much. It could be
structured as a stand-alone study, purely relying on
qualitative data or it could be part of mixed-methods
research that combines qualitative and quantitative data.
This review introduces the readers to some basic concepts,
definitions, terminology, and application of qualitative
research
Research Locale
The study is conducted at Restituto B. Peria National
High School in the Division of Nueva Ecija. The Restituto B.
Peria National High School is a learning chamber that molds
students, behavior, heightens learners’ eagerness to engage
in learning and cultivates decisiveness towards intellectual
26
and spiritual commitments. The school has been able to etch
the contour of its performance through the collaborative
efforts of the administrators, teachers, non-teaching
personnel, parents, students, and kind-hearted stakeholders.
Formerly known as Bibiclat High School, Restituto B.
Peria National High School is situated in one of the biggest
barangays in Aliaga. The school is led by a School Principal
II and three department heads. There are 32 permanent
teachers in JHS and SHS. As the home of the known ‘Taong
Putik’, Bibiclat is known for delicacies made from glutinous
rice which is the main source of livelihood in agriculture.
Since the barangay is an agricultural land, most of families
are farmers, very few own and manage businesses.
Today, Restituto B. Peria High School is one of the
public schools in Aliaga District with an enrolment of seven
hundred fifty-one students (751). The school offers the K-12
27
program. At present, it has three (3) Head Teachers, 23
Permanent JHS Teachers, 7 Permanent SHS Teachers, 1
Administrative Assistant III, 3 Administrative Assistants
II, 1 Book keeper, 2 Contractual Security Guards, and 1
Utility Worker funded by the FPTA and headed by the School
Principal II.
Research Participants
A total of three (3) Araling Panlipunan and three (3)
ICT teachers at Restituto B. Peria National High School were
the participants of the study using the total sampling

Table 1. The Participants of the Study
Research Instrument
This study used printed feedback questionnaires. A
printed feedback questionnaire is a physical document or
form that is designed to collect information and opinions
from individuals through a structured set of questions. It
is typically distributed in a printed format, such as on
paper, and can be handed out or mailed to respondents for
them to fill out.
The questionnaire consists of a series of questions or
statements related to a particular topic or subject of
interest. These questions are often multiple-choice, rating
scales, or open-ended, allowing respondents to provide their
feedback, opinions, or suggestions in a written format.
Printed feedback questionnaires are commonly used in
various settings, including businesses, educational
institutions, market research, customer satisfaction
surveys, and other areas were gathering feedback and data
from a large number of individuals is desired.
29
Once respondents have completed the questionnaire, they
usually return it via mail, drop-off boxes, or hand it back
directly to the organization conducting the survey. The
collected responses are then analyzed to gain insights,
identify trends, and make informed decisions based on the
feedback received.
Data Gathering Procedure
A letter of request to conduct the study was prepared.
The researcher’s students constructed a questionnaire
checklist, validated by the teacher of the subject. The
questionnaire checklists are distributed. This may conduct
the researchers in Restituo B. Peria National High School
through survey. It refers to explains the respondents of
their response to the study. It also clarifies some terms to
the respondents so that the respondents can answer the
questionnaire with full knowledge of their responsibility as
the subject of the study.
The sampling units are selected subjectively by the
researchers. In this study, the researcher’s goal is to
determine a study focusing on Preserving the Past through
Google Site they believe that this method is the most
appropriate in choosing the sample for the researcher’s
30
students. After the respondents answered the questionnaire,
the researcher collected and tallied the data for
interpretation. Based on the data the researcher comes up
with conclusion and recommendations for this study.
Research Sampling Method
In social science research, the technique of "purposive
sampling" is frequently used to pick a sample of
participants who have qualities that are thought to be
significant to the study subject at hand. Purposive sampling
includes selecting units according to pre-established
criteria, such as age, gender, occupation, or expertise, as
opposed to probability sampling approaches, where each unit
in the population has an equal chance of being chosen.
Purposive sampling seeks to guarantee that the sample
fairly represents the population or subgroup of interest and
that the data gathered is pertinent to the research subject
under consideration. Researchers can better comprehend the
phenomenon they are studying and draw more accurate
conclusions from the data they collect by choosing units
based on those features.
31
As opposed to random selection, the selection of units
in purposive sampling is dependent on subjective criteria,
which might introduce biases into the sample. Therefore,
before using this sampling strategy, researchers must
carefully analyze the purposive sampling's potential limits
and if it is appropriate for their research issue.
Ethical Considerations
The researcher sought permission the school Principal
of Restituto B. Peria National High School as well as the
participants' research adviser, Mr. John Lowie H. Galvez.
The researcher informed the respondents about the
significance of the study and facilitated with the feedback
questionnaire to the validators. And the result was
subjected to statistical treatment.
Statistical Treatment Data
The researchers utilized descriptive statistics which
is meant in analyzing the result of the printed survey
questionnaire. In addition, feedback survey was also
administered to the respondent- validators to assess the
respondent’s satisfaction while they’re using the website
32
about preserving history through sites. The feedback survey
used the Likert scale designated for the questionnaires and
used the following choices:
5 4 3 2 1
Strongly Agree Neutral Disagree Strongly

common classroom challenges such as participation,

content. Because it’s a Google product, users will be giving
up some privacy, especially to use some of the features,
like fine art selfies. (Blogs.Umass)
