INTRODUCTION

Rationale and Background of the study

Technology has opened up a whole new world that a couple of decades ago, simply

did not exist. Foreign lands and cultures are no longer hidden inside a picture book

or only seen by those with a plane ticket. Rather, the internet has created an avenue

in which anyone can learn about other cultures through a virtual experience.

Technology plays the role of facilitator in educating a student. It enriches the

educational experience providing options that can accommodate students in their

quest to learn. According to a study released by Educause in 2004, technology has

impacted student learning via communications, convenience, and control. The

report represents over 4300 traditionally-aged college students and defines how

they use technology. Even though the report is 13 years old, ironically the

information has remained accurate.

One of the most important things technology has done for student learning is to

increase accessibility. That means the borders have expanded for disabled students

and rural communities. Not having a local college in close proximity to a student’s

home is no longer a challenge. Having to work a full-time job during business

hours and being unable to attend traditional classroom hours can still be a

challenge, but is no longer a roadblock to getting a degree. Even high school

students who are chronically ill or seriously injured and unable to attend classes

can easily access coursework. In addition, they can watch recorded video

instruction or interact live with a teacher and classmates.

Using technology to facilitate student learning has come with many positive

benefits. Students can pick and choose what mediums they prefer to learn content

and maximize their study time. Students have immediate access to anything they

do not understand or want to learn more about. Students are no longer solely

dependent on teachers, parents, or other educated people to be their only source of

information. Students are in charge of their own learning and technology has

leveled the playing field in many ways.

Another negative consequence of technology for student learning is having a

record of foolish things they say and do. These days no matter where you are,

somebody or usually everybody has a device in which to record an event.

Some would argue the internet and technology are fostering laziness and

contributing to the instant gratification nation. Perhaps you’ve thought that same

thing. However, the faster we can get the information, the more time we have to

learn. That’s certainly something to consider.

Theoretical and Conceptual Framework of the Study

The Internet is registering an initial impact on everyday life in Students. Nearly all

Internet users go online to conduct some of their ordinary day-to-day activities,

from mundane tasks to social arrangements to personal recreation. Furthermore,

online report their Internet use affects the proportions of these affairs in their

everyday lives.

The system approach (Input – Process - Output) was used in describing the

conceptual research paradigm of the study. Figure 1 shows the input, process and

output of the research. The input is the profiles of the Junior High School students

of Lyceum – Northwestern University in terms of: age, and gender. The

determining of the responses on the perception of the Junior High school students

and their teachers about the impact of internet among the High school students

along: Personal Factors, Teacher Related, Classroom Circumstances, and Home

Factors, is the process of the study. Lastly, the output of the research is the

suggestive measures to lessen, or eradicate, Internet among human development

students of Lyceum – Northwestern University Special Science High School.

REVIEW OF RELATED STRUCTURE AND STUDIES

Related Studies

There is no doubt that Information Technology (IT) has tremendously

changed everyday life. New technologies such as computers, Internet, wireless

devices, social networks, have become part of most people’s lives regardless of age

or gender. Consequently, these technologies have changed our lifestyle. Lifestyle

refers to the method and style of our lives including our clothing, habits,

friendships, values and so on (Ye et al., 2011). However, it is not limited to this

definition. Some studies have taken lifestyle to refer to one’s physical and mental

health status, as well as adults’ quality of life (Wang et al., 2012). According to

Leung (1998), lifestyles are identified and classified in order to enhance the

development of social identity through people’s activities, interests and opinions.

Lifestyle can be identified by a wide range of activities, interests, and opinions (Ye

et al., 2011). However, there is a lack of comprehensive research in this area. In

fact, while several researchers have investigated the impact of IT on one dimension

of lifestyle, but no comprehensive research has been undertaken to determine the

impact of Information Technology (IT) on many dimensions of lifestyle from

a holistic perspective. Accordingly, one of the goals of this study is to establish the

various lifestyle dimensions. Another goal is to determine how IT impacts on

lifestyle. Although the impact of IT on learning, health, energy,conditions of

work, social life and so on, has been a topic of research for a long time, no

researcher has undertaken the task of determining the impact of information

technology on people’s lifestyles and on all areas of their lives. This review paper

explores the literature relating to the impact of IT on lifestyle and to analyze and

classify these studies according to various lifestyle dimensions. The dimensions of

lifestyle that will be investigated here are: health, learning, social behavior,

spiritual life, energy, art, work and environment. The paper is organized as

follows: first, the roadmap of research is described; second, the criteria used for

classifying the literature relating to the impact of IT on lifestyle are presented;

third, the results and analysis of the classification are reported; and finally,

conclusions are drawn and future research directions are suggested.

Methodology

The chapter describes the procedure for conducting this

study, specifically; the chapter provided detailed information on

research design, the target population, the sample and sampling

technique, instrumentation and standardization procedure. The

chapter also presented the procedures followed in collecting

data, scoring and method of data analysis.

Research Design

The method used in this research was a Qualitative and

Quantitative Research Design for the most appropriating means of

evaluating the influential factors considered by Junior High

School Students of Lyceum Northwestern University affecting their

daily living. In its popular format, Quantitative is used to

emphasize objective measurements and the statistical,

mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected, while

Qualitative is used to describe ‘what is’ or describe the

characteristics and/or behavior of sample population.

Instrumentation and Data Collection

In order to obtain the data needed, the researchers will

conduct a survey questionnaire by focusing on answering the

problems stated. A survey is an empirical study that uses a

questionnaire to discover descriptive characteristics of phenoma.

The questionnaire for this study has three parts: First, the

profile of the Junior High School students of L-NU; Second, is

the impact of virtual internet technology that affects the daily

life of the respondents; and the Third, if the impact of Virtual

Internet Technology to the students is Negative, what are the

possible solutions to improve your daily living.

In this study, the Forty (40) respondents from Junior High

School Students will be randomly selected at Lyceum –

Northwestern University at Tapuac District Dagupan City in the

respondents of the investigation.

Tools for Data Analysis

To interpret the data effectively, the researchers will

employ the following statistical treatment: The Percentage and

Weighted Mean are the tools use to interpret data.

 To answer sub – problem #1, the researchers will make use of

percentage formula. This will employ to determine the frequency

counts and percentage distribution of personal related variables

respondents.

Formula: % = F N x 100

Where: % is the percentage

F is the frequency

N is the total number of respondents

100 is a constant variable

To answer sub – problem #2 and #3, the researchers will make

use of the Average Weighted Mean. This will be used to determine

the assessment of the respondents with regards to their personal

profiles.

Formula: X = Fx N

Where: X is the weighted mean

F is the frequency

X is the weight of each item

N is the number of cases

The study’s average weighted mean were interpreted using

the following statistical limit constructed by the researchers.
