Abstract

This study determined the impact of technology advancement to the students

of Lambusan National High School. The result of the study served as the basis of what’s

the impact of technology advancement to the students. This study sought to the

following problems; the profile of the students, the impact of technology advancement to

the students and lastly, the influence of technology to the students.

The study will use qualitative methods and conduct an interview through giving

survey questions and survey interview based on their experiences. The study has a

total of 40 respondents who were the participants to this study. In accordance of the

findings of the study, it was recommended that the parents must be responsible in

guiding their child. In other hand, the students also should be aware of what’s the

disadvantages of technology and how does it affect to their lives.

Rationale of the Study

In our world today, everything is more convenient and accessible due to the

advances of technology. However despite how convenient the technology is, there will

be some disadvantages accompanying. Technology is one of the most valuable tools.

The more advanced technology in our society influenced to every individual in different

aspects of lives. We couldn’t deny that technology is a specialized aspects of our lives.

But, we should think first the influence of this to our lives especially to the students it

can be a hindrance to them in the fields of education. The abundance of technology in

the schools is hindering every student’s mind to have the ability to think as well as learn

old style methods of learning. In other hand, it is also beneficial to them to have a

progressive learning. But we should put this in our mind that everything has a limitations

and by using of technology we must consider also our limits. Technology has been

argued as having a positive impact on our way of thinking. Steve Johnson (2005), in his

nationally bestselling book Everything Bad is Good for You, posited that technology is

making us more intelligent due to means of obtaining,interpreting, and processing

information. Many studies have discussed how technology affects our brains and

impacts how much its use affects the way that we think and perform. Today there is a

common focus on raising student achievement while integrating the technology as a

tool. Due to large use of technology in the world in which we live, the use of technology

in teaching and learning is essential if we are to make a lasting impact on how students

learn (Cristine,2009). Many students mistakenly believe that technology allows them to

do several things at once and do them well (Bouchard). Technology has also begun to

change the roles of teachers and learners. Technology is a powerful tool that can
support and transform education in many ways, from making it easier for teachers to

create instructional materials to enabling new ways for people to learn and work

together. Technology in education plays an important role in improving the educational

skills and knowledge of the people. This is very important especially those who need to

improve their knowledge in order to them to achieve a successful life in the future.

Technology in education is manifested through the use of computers. This is also a

great help for teachers since they can already enhance their teaching skills and

strategies every time they are facing their class. Technology is very essential for both

the students and teachers but there are some instances wherein this technology is seen

to be disadvantages for both of them as well (occupytheory.org/advantages).

Theoretical Background of the Study

Cognitive Theory concerns those mental processes that cannot be observed through

human beings’ problem solving process and human beings’ learning strategies. It’s

studies human brain thinking process. In education cognitive theory is to develop

students’ capabilities of creative thinking, of information analyzing, and problem-solving

through computer-assisted instruction. This theory is presented by Jane Piaget (1898-

1980), Jerome Seymour Bruner (1915-) and David P. Ausubel (1918-2008).

Constructivism Theory emphasizes that good and real learning information is not

based on what the instructors says or the learners’ heard even if the learners’ repeating

this information over and over. In addition, the constructivism theory emphasize that

learners’ construct and built the information inside their mind based on their experiences

to build knowledge , which effecting the learning processing. It is in favor the letting the

students’ to construct their point of view of the world, philosophy of living, technical

expertise, and knowledge structures. This theory is presented by John Dewey (1859-

1952), Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934), Jean Piaget (1896-1980).The influence of

constructivism on the development of educational technology in schools was mainly in

late 20th century on the multimedia applications, online interactive learning and today’s

rapid emerging mobilization and handheld electronic devices which provide an

instructional platform on which students can self-control learning contents, activities and

progress without restrictions of time and space (Whelan 2005).

Symbol System Theory is proposed by Gavriel Saloman, an educational psychologists

to explain the different media influences on learning. Saloman believes different media
symbols systems impact media information delivery and learning effectiveness. The

core of the symbol system theory is that whether a media can effectively help effective

learning depends on the degree of matching between the symbol systems and learners’

learning contents and activities. Symbol system theory has laid a theoretical foundation

for the development and application of multi-media computation.

Chapter II
Review of Related Literature

Information of technology probably has a lot to do with the growing importance

of small organizations. With computers so inexpensive, and with the ability to connect

powerful microcomputers to national and international communication networks, it

becomes possible for even small businesses to reach very large markets, even

international markets.

In 1931, on the occasion of Maxwell’s centenary , Albert Einstein observed. At least as

perplexing were the implication of two other towering achievements of 20 th century

physics Einstein’s theory of special relativity discredited the time – honored , seemingly

unimpeachable notions of absolute space ,time ,and ,mass. Some writers contend that

20th century electronic media are contributing to the erosion of valiable traditional

dividing line between childhood and adulthood. Books vary greatly in syntactical and

lexical complexity , a feature long utilized in attempting to keep children from premature

exposure to certain kinds og highly charged , potentially disturbing knowledge. Unlike

books, however , television does not possess any formal grammatical prerequisites that

must be mastered prior to gaining access to the material it offers; hence that material is

relatively equally accessible to adults and children. Children may not be able to read

and grasp books suitable for adults but they can watch television programs with “adult”

subject matter. If, by affording differential access to sensitive subject matter ,print media

helped sustain the line between childhood and adulthood , the electronic media seem to

be eroding that distinction ,a development of uncertain psychological significance

( Fouts,J.T.(2000). This growth in awareness of advances of science and technology

was linked to the proliferation of books around this time, a development in turn

attributable to the invention of the movable –type printing press. On this point, see

Elizabeth Eisenstein , the Printing Press as an Agent of Change(Cambridge: Cambridge

University Press, 1979). Technology also increases student collaboration. Collaboration

is a highly effective tool for learning. Students cooperately works together to either

create projects or they can learn from each other by reading the work of of their

peers(Keser, Huseyin, & Ozdamli, 2011). A study conducted by Baytak Tarman, & Ayas

found that most students believe that their learning is improved by integrating

technology into classroom curriculum. Students participating in the study reported that

using technology in school makes learning fun and helps them learn more ( Baytak,

Tarman, & Ayas, 2011).
