This research study entitled “Advantages and Disadvantages of Technolgoy in

Teaching and Learning as Perceived by Selected College Students of an HEI in Gumaca,
Quezon” aimed to identify the advantages and disadvantages of technology in teaching
and learning. The researcher gathered information from the selected college students of
Eastern Quezon College Inc., through survey questionnaire. The respondents agreed that
the advantage of technologies in terms of its availability, were having technological
devices that makes it easier to do research papers, activities, presentation, etc. In terms of
convenience, respondents agreed that, it provides access to numerous resources instantly
and technology increases their time to do other things instead of going from library to
library, and dragging piles of books just to find information. And in terms of

effectiveness, most respondents agreed that technology in learning makes the students
feel confident in doing their school work, such as research papers, activities and
presentations.
On the other hand, the disadvantage of technology in teaching and learning in
terms of availability, respondents agreed that, too much use of technology can cause
health problems concerning eyesight of the students. In terms of convenience, it
consumes time when internet connection and/or data connection is slow and poor and it
makes the student feel stress. And in terms of effectiveness, technology leads to
overconfident and can cause of fear of failure. This means that using technology in
teaching and learning has its own advantages and disadvantages. The result of this study
in terms of age revealed that most of the respondents belonged to ages 20 to 21 and most
of them are female. And there is no significant difference between each advantage and
disadvantage when perceived responses are grouped according to profile.

Keywords: Advantage of technology in teaching and learning, availability, convenience,

disadvantage of technology in teaching and learning, effectiveness, higher education
