Lorenzo, A. (2016), Effectiveness of the Computer and Internet Literacy

Project in Public High Schools of Tarlac Province, Philippines, Turkish

Online Journal of Education Technology-TOJET

Assessing the strengths, weaknesses, and overall effectiveness of an

activity is crucial. This research focused on evaluating the iSchools

Project, which was implemented in the Public High Schools of Tarlac Province,

Philippines, by the Commission on Information and Communications Technology

(CICT) in collaboration with selected State Universities and Colleges. The

study utilized survey questionnaires to collect data from public high school

teachers who were beneficiaries of the project. In addition to the survey,

interviews with Principals and ICT Coordinators, as well as direct

observation of classes in the laboratory, were conducted. The results

revealed challenges faced by the beneficiary schools during project

implementation, such as hardware failures, software package usability issues,

insufficient follow-up on capacity building, lack of internet connection,

limited laboratory access, and inadequate equipment maintenance. Despite

these challenges, the teachers rated the project as very satisfactory in

terms of project administration, components, and delivery system. This

suggests that, overall, the project effectively achieved its objectives of

integrating ICT in education and bridging the digital divide among public

high school teachers.

 Castillo, J G., Dumriqu, D O, (2018), Online Gaming: Impact on the

Academic Performance and Social of the Students in Polytechnic University of

the Philippines Laboratory High School, Knowedege E

This study was conducted to assess and find out the impact of on-line

gaming on the academic performance and social behavior of the students in

the Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Laboratory High School.

Furthermore, this study sought answers on the significant relationship

between playing on-line games and academic performance and to social behavior

of the students. The study revealed that boys are more of a player compared

to girls who often play games that require three or more players like League

of Legends, Clash of Clans, Crossfire and many more to mention. It is also

stated that those who play online games are around 14-15 years old who are

believed to be in the Grade 8 level. These students who often play games

have an average weekly allowance of 101 pesos to 500 pesos. Playing online

games do not affect their grades badly for they know how to limit themselves.

They know that they need to control themselves in order to function well in

their class that is why they only play games during vacation and weekends

with a lot of time compared when they have classes. Even though they play

online games; they know how to socialize well and they can perform very well

when it comes to academic performance. However, it is inevitable not to play

even for half an hour especially when they are accustomed to it. Therefore,

it is just a matter of discipline.

 Abun,D.,2021,Academic Self-Regulation of STEM of Senior High School

Students of Divine Word College in Region I, Philippines and Their Academic

Performance, SSRN

The study wanted to determine the level of academic self-regulation of

the STEM students of Senior High School students of the Divine Word Colleges

and its effect toward academic performance. There were four aspects of self-

regulation investigated such as external regulation, introjected regulation,

identified regulation and intrinsic motivation. Questionnaires were used to

gather the data. The quantitative descriptive research design and explanation

research was used in the study. The findings showed that the academic self-

regulation of the STEM students of the senior high school of Divine Word

Colleges is high which means that they have high external regulation,

introjected regulation, identified regulation and moderate intrinsic

motivation. However, the findings also showed that there is no correlation

between academic self-regulation and their academic performance. Their

academic performance can be caused by other factors that are not considered

in this study.

Fried, C., 2008, In-class laptop use and its effects on student

learning, ScienceDirect

Recently, a debate has begun over whether in-class laptops aid or hinder

learning. While some research demonstrates that laptops can be an important

9
learning tool, anecdotal evidence suggests more and more faculty are banning

laptops from their classrooms because of perceptions that they distract

students and detract from learning. The current research examines the nature

of in-class laptop use in a large lecture course and how that use is related

to student learning. Students completed weekly surveys of attendance, laptop

use, and aspects of the classroom environment. Results showed that students

who used laptops in class spent considerable time multitasking and that the

laptop use posed a significant distraction to both users and fellow students.

Most importantly, the level of laptop use was negatively related to several

measures of student learning, including self-reported understanding of course

material and overall course performance. The practical implications of these

findings are discussed.

Nwati Munjie, P., 2020, The impact of the lack of ICT resources on

teaching and learning in selected south Africa primary schools, International

journal of learning, Teaching and educational research

The impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on teaching

and learning globally necessitates its integration in the classroom.

Integration in individual school contexts, however, remains a challenge,

despite ICT integration being a policy prerogative in many countries. This

qualitative paper aims to understand how the lack of ICT resources affects

the way learners learn and perform. Semi-structured interviews were utilized

to gather data from six educators in three South African primary schools.

The interviews were transcribed manually and coded. A thematic mode of

10
analysis was used during the data analysis process. Findings show that, for

multiple reasons, schools do not use ICT tools in teaching and learning, as

expected, and, in some cases, underutilize existing resources, with

implications for teaching and learning. We suggest that the South African

Department of Basic Education (DBE) considers individual school contexts

when allocating ICT resources, to ameliorate existing challenges. Reinforcing

existing monitoring and evaluation mechanisms will facilitate the

identification of contextual challenges and the provision of assistance where

necessary. Most importantly, schools should be encouraged to form

partnerships with communities to ensure the safety of ICT resources. These

measures have the potential to ensure that all learners enjoy opportunities

introduced in the classroom through the DBE’s ICT-integration program, thus

guaranteeing quality education for all.
