Technology Exposure: Its Relationship to the Study Habits and Academic Performance of Students

Abstract

The 21st century emphasizes the role of technology in different facets of life, especially in the educational system, as it serves as a platform for teachers and students in the delivery of effective teaching and learning process. In this perspective, descriptive-correlational research determines the level of technology exposure and its relationship to the study and academic performance in Social Studies subject of the one hundred seventy-four (174) students who were randomly chosen from a total population of six hundred eighty-eight (688) during the School Year 2018-2019 in the three selected public secondary schools in the district of Tapaz West, Schools Division of Capiz, Philippines. The data were gathered using a standardized survey questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics: mean, percentage, frequency count, and standard deviation. For the inferential statistics: t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson r correlation at 0.05 level of significance through the aid of the SPSS software version 27. The study's significant findings revealed that exposure to technology significantly relates to students' study habits. At the same time, it does not significantly relate to their academic performance in Social Studies subjects. The findings suggest that school administrators, parents, teachers, and other stakeholders should ensure that students are properly guided to the right technology platforms to support learning and improve their study habits towards excellent academic achievement.

Development and Validation of Self-Paced Learning Digital Module in Mathematics 10

“…It has the potential to capture students' attention and increase their involvement in mathematics learning. Furthermore, modules are learning materials aligned with a specific curriculum, packed into the smallest learning unit, and enable students to check individually under a certain amount of time (Berondo & Dela Fuente, 2021;Columbano, 2019). A module is a comparatively short, self-contained, independent instruction unit designed to realize a limited set of specific and well-defined educational objectives (Meyer, 2014).…”

An Application of Item Response Theory to Basic Science Multiple-Choice Test Development and Validation

“…Learners' academic achievement in a given instruction is measured by assessment instruments like objective tests (Berondo & Dela Fuente, 2021). They include multiple choices, true/false statements, missing words, incomplete sentences.…”

“…, Twenty (21) items (53%) that is items 1,3,4,6,8,9,12,14,16,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28,33, 37, 39, and 40 did not fit the three-parameter model because the items were below .05 level of significance. Nineteen (19) items (47%) that is, items 2, 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 24, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, and 38 fitted the three-parameter model because the items were above .05 level of significance.…”

Human Resource Information System with Machine Learning Integration

“…Technological innovation in the organizational system inspired policy-makers in the organization especially in the human resource department to invest a great amount, especially in developing countries [17]. The role of technology in organizational systems is very vital as it compels the effective processes in human resources, especially in management [4], [1].…”
