ABSTRACT

The pupils will have a much easier time comprehending and retaining the information

that is being taught to them if the teacher makes effective use of technology in the classroom.

For instance, due to the fact that certain students are better at retaining information through

the use of visuals, it might be beneficial to install projection screens in classrooms that are

linked to computers. This would enable the students to view their notes throughout class, as

opposed to just sitting there and listening to the instructor teach. There are varieties of

excellent applications that may be utilized to augment the material that is being covered in the

class. The application offers a lot of available quizzes, tests, activities, and study questions

that could assist the students in continuing the learning process even when they are not

physically present in the classroom. A significant portion of today's curricula, including those

that are not part of the computer or technology sections, now include some form of

technological instruction. Students conduct research on a wide range of themes for their

essays and papers using the internet and computers. Presentations are created using
computers, and students conduct research on a variety of topics for their papers using the

internet.

The goal of this research is to get a more in-depth understanding of the experiences

that instructors have had while utilizing technology-based instructional tools to teach subjects

that fall under the purview of the Araling Panlipunan. The method of qualitative research

known as narrative descriptive research was utilized by the researcher in this study. In

addition, the research reveals that the laptop,projector, and PowerPoint are the three forms of

technology-based instructional materials that are utilized the most frequently in classrooms.

This is because these are the only resources that are easily accessible to the teachers.
