SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
In this study, the researchers have intended to know the opinions of
the Grade 12 students in iTECH Calapan when it comes to their
academic performance based on their own experiences and
preferences, especially when it comes to the efficient use of
smartphones in school, how it can affect them as students, and the
risk of its usage addiction. This research is made to benefit the
students themselves, as well as the parents, teachers, the school’s
administration, and the Department of Education.
SUMMARY
Using a descriptive-type of research, the researchers then compiled a
survey sheet with twenty questionnaires, which were given to 28
respondents (that are comprised of 16 male and 12 female
respondents) from the Grade 12 students of iTECH, who are picked
based on their availability.
SUMMARY
After the survey proper, the researchers then tabulated the results
based on the answers of the respondents, and made pie charts for
each questionnaire, with a detailed explanation after each chart,
which is perfect for these questionnaires, because each question has
multiple choices.
FINDINGS
 Having smartphones surely bring a lot of entertainment to the
students, didn’t hinder them from using more time for studying,
made them finish more tasks easier, made them feel and see that
they are 21st century learners and part of this society, act as stress-
reliever for them, and still healthy for them, with less implication that
they will often skip meals just to use these devices.
FINDINGS
 The use of smartphones is very important for the students in
researching for their assignments in school, making this task easier
than using other research tools like PC, laptop, books, and more.
 Also, the use of smartphones is very important for them in making
their projects and outputs, which enables them to perform this task
easier than using other tools, as well with the traditional method.
 Moreover, the use of smartphones is also very important for them in
communicating with their classmates better than using other
communication tools, while using them for both educational and
personal matters.
FINDINGS
 On the other hand, the use of smartphones can also be
disadvantageous for them, which distract them in class, didn’t make
their studying better when used during classes, sometimes make
them skip their homework, with their family members saying that
they are addicted to the use of these devices.
FINDINGS
 It is also found out that most of the students use these smartphones
for an hour up to more than 5 hours, which can account to four
percent up to more than 21 percent of the day, which can be an
indication why the students view these smartphones as very
important in most of academic tasks. On the other hand, this can also
explain why these students can also be entitled as ‘smartphone
addicts’.
CONCLUSIONS
