CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
Smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily lives, offering instant
communication, access to information, and various digital tools that make life easier. Their use is
prevalent among students of all age groups, and they are frequently used during class time.
However, this has sparked a debate among educators about the potential benefits and drawbacks
of using smartphones in the classroom. To gain a better understanding of this, it is important to
explore the perceptions of Grade 10 students towards the use of smartphones in classroom
learning ( Kim 2018)
The employment of smartphones in classroom instruction has generated considerable
controversy in recent years, with proponents championing their potential to augment learning
outcomes while detractors argue they distract students. Grade 10 learners are situated at a pivotal
juncture in their academic development, where their attitudes and perspectives on smartphone
usage in learning can profoundly impact their scholastic achievements. Therefore, comprehending
their perceptions is critical to designing effective pedagogical strategies (Thornton and Faires,
2019). Not with standing the benefits of smartphone usage in learning settings, their misuse can
engender distractions and diminished engagement, compromising student learning outcomes (Su
and Cheng, 2018).
This research aims to provide teachers and parents with a better understanding of their
children's relationship with smartphones and how it affects their learning outcomes. By taking the
perspectives of students into account, teachers and parents can develop more informed strategies
for integrating smartphones into the classroom while also addressing potential issues related to
distraction, addiction, and privacy. This knowledge can be used to create tailored educational
programs and initiatives that promote the responsible use of technology and improve student
engagement and achievement (Liu et al., 2018)
By embracing the perspectives of grade 10 students on the use of smartphones in
classroom learning, it can create more effective and engaging learning environments that prepare
students for the digital age (Means et al., 2020).The advantage of understanding the perceptions
of Grade 10 students on the use of smartphones in classroom learning is that it can help educators
make informed decisions about how to integrate technology into their teaching methods ( Fisher,
2020). It can also help identify potential benefits of smartphone use, such as increased access to
learning materials outside of class time (Akpinar et.al.2018)
However, there are also potential disadvantages to consider, such as the impact of
smartphone use on students' academic and personal lives (Chukwuere et.al 2018), distraction
from work or lectures (Phonemore 2021). The cost of smartphones can also lead to an unequal
learning experience for students (Donohoe 2020). Additionally, constant exposure to the radiation
emitted by mobile phones may be bad for students health (Tung 2019). Smartphones can also
cause envy and socio-economic differences among students (Jeniffer 2023). Additionally,
perceptions of smartphone use may vary based on socioeconomic status, which could impact how
educators approach the issue (Gupta and Sampat, 2021)
The objective of this study is to examine the various factors that impact students attitudes
towards utilizing smartphones within educational settings, as well as to assess the degree to which
smartphones usage in the classroom is viewed Advantageous or Discruptive.
Furthermore, the study anticipates identifying factors that impact student perceptions of
smartphone usage in learning settings, such as gender, academic performance, and socio-
economic background.
This study aims to understand the perceptions of Grade 10 Students on the use of
smartphone in classroom learning. The study will be conducted among Grade 10 students in the
Junior High School of Doña Juana Chioco National High School during the School Year 2022-
2023. The result of the study will be used as a basis for a meaningful engagement in development
at classroom activities using the digital based classroom learning.
THE FUTURE RESEARCHERS- It will be valuable material for future research since
it will provide answers to topics that may affect 10th grade students. It can be used as a reference
by future researchers.
THE STUDENTS- Students will be able to learn about each other's perspectives on the
usage of smartphones in classroom learning as a result of this research.
THE EDUCATORS- The statistics provided would serve as a reference for teachers in
determining what to do with students who use smartphones in the classroom. This will help them
understand their students better than they did before the study.
THE PARENTS- Parents, like educators, will grasp how the smartphone can help their
children with their education. The data provided would assist parents in determining how to guide
their sons and daughters in proper smartphone usage.
The researchers focal point is to study about the perceptions and how it affects of using
smartphones to the academic performance of the selected grade 10 students of Doña Juana
Chioco National High School Lupao, Nueva Ecija. The researchers choose the Grade 10 students
as the respondents whereas mostly of them have and are using smartphones both for personal and
educational purposes.
The study is based on the number of respondents to twenty (20) students only in the
Junior high school during the school year 2022-2023 . The study will conduct through the use of
pen and paper and open-ended question. Set of ten(10) same questionnaires will be asked and
interviewed among the selected respondents
DEFFINITION OF TERMS
This chapter presents the relevant literature and studies that the researchers considered in
deepening the importance of the study. It also presents the synthesis to fully understand the
researcher for better comprehension of the studies.
A study by ( Mohammadi et.al 2020) that smartphones have several several applications
that can be useful in the teaching and learning process, including general software such as Word,
Excel, and Powerpoint. Another study by ( Hidayati 2019) analyzed the students perceptions
about their learning in using smartphones for different instructional purposes in the classroom.
(Ahmad, 2022) found that the increasing use of mobile phone technology within the higher
education context represents a paradigm shift in thinking about teaching and learning strategies.
However, some studies have also found that the use of smartphones in the classroom can be
distracting and may negatively impact academic performance (Wang et.al 2022). Overall, the
literature suggests that the use of smartphones in the classroom should be carefully managed to
ensure that they are used for educational purposes and do not become a distraction.
The use of smartphone has become vital to the students learning experiences (Chang and
Liu 2019). Students are more accustomed in using collective technologies and they are fully
grown in the era of mobile phone technologies (Blondel et. al 2019) In schools, almost all
students have acquired smartphones due to its low cost compared to other devices. Students have
become well verse and more oriented towards the different features and applications that each
smartphone is able to offer (Noorhidaw et.al). This technological advancement caused the
education sector to adopt the change and made of this technology inside the classroom (OECD
2018) Hence, technology is significant in transforming the classroom setting from a traditional set
up to a student-centered classroom, which is quite relevant these days (Rodriguez 2020) The
transition to student-centered classroom has been shown to lead to an increase in students school
performance (Cavanaugh et.al 2018) It lessens the adoption of traditional activities and learning
processes in teaching that are widely used in schools. Thus, embracing technology advancement
in th four walls of the classroom is very evident (Valk et.al 2019) .
According to (Gorra 2018), the most observed positive consequences were instant
messaging through chatting, lesson inquiry about assignments, sending and receiving e-mails,
research through surfing the net including data gathering by downloading files and sharing
cultural experiences with others through internet, in the Philippines are likely to use technology in
classroom for the purpose of positive consequences supporting the view that the use of
technology helps in enhancing learning related activities in classroom.
According to (Bucto 2021), Filipino high school students, smartphone use gives them the
confidence to perform well in their studies. For examples, perhaps they used smartphone apps for
learning which could effectively enhance productivity and academic performance, as well as
increase the likelihood of positively perceiving their academic improvement. Applying the same
logic, Singaporean University students who used smartphones for learning purpose reported
having higher GPA scores. In this study, accessing SNS or social media was the most common
purpose of smartphone use. According to studies on SNS, Twitter gave students more freedom to
ask questions and have discussions that are helpful for enhancing students engagement and
academic achievement. Similarly, Facebook use helped promote co-curricular activities, which
can lead to academic success and boost individual well-being.

to be used.
PARTICIPANTS
This research was conducted in Doña Juana Chioco National High School, Lupao, Nueva
Ecija within school year 2022-2023 students among the Grade 10 Junior High School who
voluntarily participated and took part in providing the data information needed in this study. The
participants of this study were twenty (20) from Junior High School Students of Doña Juana
Chioco National High School which includes 3 from 10-Luke, 3 from 10-Habakkuk, 3 from 10-
Ecclesiastes, 3 from 10-SPJ, 3 from 10-Minecraft, 1 from 10-Matthew, 1 from 10-Psalms, 3 from
10-STE. Grade 10 Students are fit to the study because they have narrated their experiences about
using the smartphone in classroom learning.
SAMPLING PROCEDURE
In this study, researchers used the two ways, that are Random Sampling and Referral
Sampling. (Creswell 2020) random sampling is to choose individuals become sample who will be
representative of the population. According to (Creswell 2020), Snowball sampling is a term of
purposeful sampling that often proceeds after a study begins and occur when the researcher asks
participant to recommend other person to be sampled. Researchers choose this method because
this is the most appropriate and effective way when gathering samples from a population.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the summary and conclusion derived in the conduct of the study which is to
further delve on the Understanding the Perception of Grade 10 students on the use of smartphone
in classroom learning. It also states the recommendations which can be further develop, deepen or
modify by the future researchers.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
1. PERCEPTIONS ON THE USED OF SMARTPHONE IN CLASSROOM
This states that the perception of smartphones reflect the following: for advance
reading, for educational purposes and for entertainment gaming with the mean of
6.66.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on our research findings, we have identified that some students often rely on
smartphones during classroom learning due to difficulties in understanding a certain lessons.
Additionally, it has been observed that some students struggle to comprehend their lessons and
resort to using their smartphones to review and reinforce their understanding. As a result, we
recommend and encourage Teachers to incorporate smartphone-based activities that promote
better understanding of the lessons. This include utilizing educational apps and online resources
that provide supplementary materials or interactive content. By integrating smartphones as a tools
for advance reading and accessing academic resources, students can enhance their comprehension
and engagement with the subject matter. By implementing these recommendations, teachers can
harness the potential of smartphones to support students in better understanding their lessons and
accessing academic resources. It is crucial to strike a balance that encourages responsible
smartphone use while promoting positive perceptions and attitudes towards their educational
value. In general we would like to recommend students to establish a healthy balance and limit
their smartphone usage to ensure it doesn’t become a distraction from their studies. Use
smartphones as a tool for learning while avoiding excessive and unnecessary usage and ensure
that smartphone supports rather than hinders to academic progress.
