CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
This chapter includes the background of the study, statement of the problem,
formulation of the null and alternative hypothesis, significance of the study, scope and
limitation, objective, definition of terms, and conceptual framework.
Introduction
Technology, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is the application of
scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in the industry. But most of the time,
technology is referred to the gadgets that are commonly used in everyday such as
smartphones, laptops, tablets, computers, as well as those that gives power to these gadgets
such as the internet and world wide web. These gadgets that are previously used only for
entertainment and leisure purposes are now primarily used as a medium of teaching and
learning in the new normal way of education. The pandemic that the world currently
experiencing today had limited the people in doing usual activities, such as having face to
face classes inside schools/classrooms, but now, different strategies were conducted to
continue teaching the students with the aid of technology to continuously engage with the
teachers and to access various learning sources and materials. We all know that technology
is applied in the different sectors of the industry and in this case, the use of it should be
aligned with the educational needs and requirements of the users. (Karunathilake, 2020)
Technology today is now also used in the different fields of education such as in Medicine,
where education is now simulation based and makes use of the virtual reality which also
SY 2019-2020
already became an integral part of the said field (Karunathilake, 2020). Meanwhile, another
study also stated that highlighting the new normal approach of teaching, which makes use
of digital technology, is essential as it will enable decision makers and teachers to analyse
opportunities and challenges that teaching and learning process on the post-Covid 19
period might face (Cahyadi, 2020). Academic performance of the students is also said to
decline in online education as it will make the students less active and creative because
they will just spend most of their time at home without the teacher's guidance
(Murdaningsih, 2019). Moreover, another study conducted in a state college in the
Philippines mentioned that most of the faculty were uncertain how effective online
education may be in the midst of the pandemic as they had agreed that the students learn
less since there is also less student-teacher interaction, it can have more cases of academic
dishonesty, and because technology in online education is difficult to manage (Moralista,
et. al. 2020). A pedagogical research had also mentioned that strengthening and producing
more research and data monitorings on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic to the
educational system of the Philippines could help in determining how educational institutes
should respond to the educational crisis it experiences (Toquero, 2020).
As students currently experiencing education in the new normal through the use
of technology, there is the need to know if the academic performance and learning progress
is affected by the use of the latter and whether if it is a big help or not. The research aims
to identify if the use of technology as a learning platform and medium has an impact to the
academic performance of the students. The research will also know how technology as a
learning tool can be described in different factors and if it helps to make the students
SY 2019-2020
achieve/hit their necessary learning targets and competencies. The study also covers about
the factors that affects the students’ use of technology and its effects to their learning.
Moreover, the research will also stand as a basis whether if the new normal way of
education truly educates the learners as the study will also cover the students’ performance
and satisfaction in regards to their education which is now mostly relying on technology.
Research Locale
The research will be conducted at Barangay Calapacuan, Subic, Zambales.
Situated at the southern part of the Subic Town, Barangay Calapacuan is one of
the 16 barangays of the said town. It homes to 14,307 people as of census in 2015 and takes
at least 13.66% of the population in the whole Subic town. The barangay is near to both
the sea and mountains, covering an area of approximately 514,157 meters squared. It is
also the most populated Barangay in the whole province (if cities are excluded) basing on
a census conducted in 2010. Most probably, in the previous generations, people residing in
the Barangay had their livelihoods based on fishing and farming, particularly on coconuts
and root crops. It is currently led by Barangay Captain Aida B. Lina. Barangay Calapacuan
continues to grow both in economy and population, given by the number of new business
establishments built here and the growing number of people in censuses conducted every
year.
The researcher currently resides at Barangay Calapacuan, and because of the
current circumstances that we have, the whole study would be conducted also at the
SY 2019-2020
researcher’s home to ensure safety and to comply in line with the policies implemented by
the local and municipal government about the COVID-19 virus.

Conceptual/Theoretical Framework
With a limited sample of 32 students (given that the research only covers the students
of STEM-12 and of course, to ensure safety), this quantitative analysis focuses about how
technology affects the academic performance of the STEM-12 students in the time of the
new normal. The researcher had discovered that the academic performance of the students
and the learning approach or materials used by the instructor are directly and significantly
related to each other. The samples would be stratified upon the research process depending
on their response in the survey questionnaires to furtherly elaborate the results and come
up with an accurate result.

Statement of the Problem
This research will investigate “The Impact of Technology to the Academic
Performance in the New Normal of STEM 12 Students at Saint James School of Subic,
Inc.” for the School Year 2020-2021.
Specifically, the study will address the following questions that are to be answered
throughout the whole research process.
1. What are the demographics of the respondents in terms of:
1.1 Age;
1.2 Gender; and
1.3 General average in the previous school year?
2. What specific type of technologies does the students:
2.1 Engage the most for their studying;
2.2 Learn the most; and
2.3 Use in terms of availability?
3. How may the technology as a learning tool in the new normal be described?
4. How are the students affected with their consistent use of technology as a learning
medium in terms of:
4.1 Time of engagement;
4.2 Environmental factors;

SY 2019-2020
4.3 Limitations in the use of technology;
4.4 Learning capacity within a day; and
4.5 Certain distractions?
5. What are the impacts of technology to the academic performance of students in the
new normal?
Hypothesis
There is no significant impact given by technology in the academic performance of
the STEM-12 students in the new normal.
Scope and Delimitations
The study covers the impact of technology to the academic performance of the
Grade 12-STEM Students in the context of the new normal at St. James School of Subic,
Inc. The study will take approximately 4-5 months before being completed and reach a
particular conclusion. The research will also cover the factors that affects the students' use
of technology while learning and its effects on their academic performance. The
quantitative analysis will be done and conducted at Barangay Calapacuan, Subic,
Zambales.
The study disregards other more irrelevant information and topics on the research
such as the effects of technology to the behavior and attitude of the students and to their
personal perspectives and opinions. All sub-topics were created with relevance to the major
SY 2019-2020
topic of the research which particulates on the academic performance and learning
process/progress of the students while using technology as a learning tool in the new
normal.
Significance of the Study
The results and findings of this study would be useful in improving the academic
performance of the STEM-12 students, as well as other students, in this time of the new
normal.
Thus, the researcher believes that this research is beneficial to the following:
Students. They will be aware about the impacts the technology gives to their
learning process and how they should use and handle it in their education.
Teachers. The teachers could have new knowledges on how they should use
technology as a learning platform in a more interactive way that can improve the academic
performance of the students and they could also identify if they are teaching effectively in
the new normal.
Administration. This research could be used as a basis of the whole faculty about
how learning in the new normal with the use of technology could be improved, giving them
the ability to formulate new techniques and approaches that will capture the students’
interest.
Parents. As they work together with the teachers in teaching the students, this
research can give the parents some insights on how their children gains progress in today’s
education in the new normal through the use of technology, giving also them a better
SY 2019-2020
understanding on the situation their children currently faces and have them also to create
some techniques and approaches that they can use in encouraging their children to continue
studying,
Community. In general, the whole community would be benefited by this research
as the results could be applied in general since almost all the students today depend on
technology in their learning, and once they learned about the findings of this study, they
may begin finding a way on how to improve their learning process by using technology in
a better way.
Definition of Terms
Academic performance. Pertains to the grades being received by the student
which reflects his/her performance in different subjects. It is used as a basis on how the
student performs on his/her classes.
Asynchronous Classes. Classes by which both the instructor and learner are
offline, and the learner is specifically answering the modules by his/her own or with the
help of his/her parents. There could be still communication between the learner and the
instructor, but it is only through chats in Facebook Messenger and without any virtual
conference.
Facebook Messenger. A messaging application developed by Facebook wherein
users could easily communicate with other users through simple chats or video calls. It is
SY 2019-2020
now also widely used in education, making it as the primary means of communication for
both the students and their teachers.
Google Classroom. A free web service developed by Google which streamlines
the process of sharing files between teachers and students. It is also a platform used by
schools to simplify creating, distributing, and evaluating assignments and other activities.
Google Meet. A video-communication application developed by Google which
enable users to face and talk with each other virtually in a way that it only consumes little
of the mobile internet data that the users have.
Learning Management System (LMS). A software application used in
administrating, tracking, delivering and automating of educational courses/materials to the
students. It is a widely used software in E-Learning, especially now in the new normal way
of education.
Learning Modalities. Types of approach that the students can freely choose
depending on what is appropriate for their situation and capacity. According to the
Department of Education (DepEd), learning modalities could be through Online Learning,
Modular Distance Learning, Blended Learning, Radio-Based Instruction and TV-Based
Instruction.
Learning Modules. Sheets containing the lessons, activities and tasks that the
students need to learn and understand. It also contains the competencies, learning targets
and some reminders that the students should always keep in mind.
SY 2019-2020
Modular Distance Learning. Learning approach used by the student is by having
learning modules that he/she would read and answer within a given period of time with
continuous distanced supervision by the teacher.
New normal. The norms practiced today at the time of the pandemic which are all
new and different from the norms before. This includes the practice of always wearing face
masks/shields whenever going out to prevent oneself from contracting the virus.
Online Learning. Learning approach used by the student is through online means
by using Google Classroom or the Learning Management System (LMS) of the school.
Modules and other more learning materials are uploaded on the internet which are made
accessible to the students.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). A strand in the
senior high school which integrates learnings in Science and Mathematics and is designed
for students who pursues studies related on these subjects.
Synchronous Classes. Classes by which both the instructor and the learners are
present and communicating with each other. This happens via online conferences in Google
Meet or Zoom wherein the instructor should check the progress of his/her students and also
teach them about some important points of their lesson.
Technology. The application of scientific knowledge in life. Also pertains to the
gadgets, appliances and devices that we use in everyday such as cellphones, televisions,
laptops, computer sets, the internet, etc.

Chapter 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter contains several studies that are similar and related to the topic of this
research. The following studies were found significant and helpful by the researcher in
creating his own study. Both foreign and local studies are included in this part, furtherly
elaborating similar concepts and topics that may help in addressing the problem and
answers in this research paper.
FOREIGN STUDIES
Even before, several new ways were already being considered and made on how to
deliver education to the students. This includes the use of technology, through the new
process of E-learning, wherein students are virtually learning through the use of computers,
laptops and other more gadgets that are made available to them. However, as time passed
by, E-learning was also replaced by Blended learning, which they say is a logical and
scientifically acceptable alternative to e-learning. It has higher yields, is less expensive,
and incorporates more sophisticated types of learning as it aims at interactive learning,
blending or mixing that of a teacher’s role in a traditional classroom with that in the virtual
one (Oweis, 2018).
As the pandemic arrived, most of the educational institutions had relied and
depended on both technology and blended learning to continue the education of the
students. Using the capacities offered by the different types of technology could really ease
the situation about the problem in the education of the students in the new normal, yet it
SY 2019-2020
still has significant hurdles which creates more equitable learning environments. There are
instances where communities experience inequalities in access — access to computers, to
reliable high-speed internet, and to the digital literacy and support that are required to take
advantage of online learning. Technology may be not the best way yet, but it could be
continuously harnessed until it becomes the best solution for the educational problem in the
new normal (Vahey, 2020).
Studies had also proved the significance of some softwares in learning. It is already
given that teachers really are not used in working in their homes because they have a field
profession, which also gives them to have a big, yet fast adjustment since they should cope
with the situation faster to furtherly develop new ways on how they can continue the
learning of the students. The new normal truly requires new routines and new ways of
working with the pandemic, accelerating the use of technology across all industries which
includes teaching. That is why it is considered that the internet, some softwares and gadgets
are significant in these times. Software, explicitly, allow teachers to set work for – or hold
online classes with – their students, and there are lots of tools available that use automated
quizzes and tests to make those lessons more engaging. (Gohil, 2020) These only shows
that schools abroad truly had relied on technology as their learning platform ever since
before the time of the new normal – as they had already considered technology as the new
normal in education (Pacheco, 2020).
LOCAL STUDIES
The country also experienced the same problem in terms of the education of the
students. Upon the sudden cancellation of classes due to the worsening number of cases of
COVID in the country, the Department of Education (DepEd) brought down an order
SY 2019-2020
instructing all teachers to come up with a learning continuity plan (LCP) which will outline
their approach in response to the current situation brought by the pandemic. Most
educational institutions had shifted to online learning, which on the other hand had created
a hot debate among different institutions, citing the poor conditions of most students in the
country. Still, most schools believe that the most viable solution is through online teaching
and learning. Though this platform challenges both the teachers and the students as it
occurs something new to them, it is still yet the only option the schools can safely take.
This shift to online learning was too sudden at a very short notice but academic institutions
have to strategize and accelerate new forms of teaching pedagogy. For Felter & Maizland
(2020), reopening of the schools at this stage is really expensive. Both private and public
educational institutions have the choice to pick different approaches or modalities which
may either be online, modular or blended and learning could either be synchronous and
asynchronous. This gave answer to the early problem of the country regarding students in
poor condition who cannot afford accessing the internet in everyday (Ancheta, 2020).
Another study pointed out how the curriculum could be reshaped considering the
new normal post - COVID-19 era. Having a new normal curriculum may adopt the
integration of content which makes the reduction of hours needed at studying all subjects
possible in the way that it will still address the curriculum expectations. Furthermore,
educational institutions are maximizing the use of technology, using it as a platform for
either online, modular or blended modality. Grading system in the new normal education
had also been changed by most institutions from quantitative to qualitative assessment
scales (Farrington, 2020). Though already supported by many, there are some who believe
SY 2019-2020
that this may affect the students in terms of having the motivation to strive for higher grades
(Dilanchyan, 2020). But as of now, no exact effects had been published regarding the
academic performance of the students in the new normal (Cahapay, 2020).
The right choice for a solution to overcome the problems in the new normal
education could be only achieved through collaboration, as stated by Tria (2020). Despite
still having no exact data whether certain modalities are effective enough in teaching the
students in the new normal, continuous research should be conducted. Higher education
needs to demonstrate competitiveness, effectiveness and efficiency by strengthening
research activities in the field of health and pandemic (Toquero, 2020). Since online
learning platforms and modalities are already made available and used in the country by
some schools and universities, it just only needs to be strengthened to lessen the problems
and challenges that it poses to both the teachers and students, especially at higher
educational institutions (HEIs) (Bao, 2020). Moreover, more ways could be considered in
making the education in new normal not only focused on pen and papers, like for instance,
performance tests could be done in subjects like Physical Education to still achieve the
competencies of the subject. The government firmly believes that the students’ learning in
our country should not be halted, thus, making use of different modalities to ensure the
continuous education of the students, though its quality and effectiveness is not highly
assured (Tria, 2020).
RELATION TO THE PRESENT STUDY
Literatures that are included in this part are all deemed important and related to the
study currently being done by the researcher. Since classes just reopened back in
SY 2019-2020
September 2020, no specific and concrete study had been conducted and done to identify
whether the education system today in the new normal which makes use of technology is
highly effective. Furthermore, to accurately identify the impacts given by technology on
the academic performance of the students in the new normal, the researcher wanted to study
previous and background information about the processes that the education system of both
the local and foreign schools had undergone, from experimenting probable ways and
choosing and finalizing several modalities that they will offer to the students. Having prior
knowledge about these events, studies and information could help the researcher to have a
wider understanding and perception regarding the results he may find after the data
gathering process.
As also implied by most of the literature above, it was explicitly stated to have more
future studies and research regarding the education in the new normal and in the post –
COVID-19 era. This is to find out whether if the modalities implemented in the students’
education are highly effective and advantageous or not.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This part provides presentation and description about the research methodology,
the respondents, construction and validation of the instruments, data gathering procedure
and the treatment of the data.
Research Method
This quantitative analysis will be done in a descriptive method wherein one or more
variables would be analyzed, together with their correlation with each other. Survey
questionnaires are used by the researcher to collect data. Results are utilized by the
researcher to identify the impacts of technology to the academic performance of the
students in the context of the new normal.
Descriptive research is widely used in research that has aims to either identify
characteristics, frequencies, trends, and categories. It is much useful when there is only
little to no information about the topic or problem. Unlike experimental research,
descriptive research only observes and measures the variables, and no manipulation is
done.
Respondents
The respondents are the 32 students of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics 12 (STEM-12) of St. James School of Subic, Inc. Specifically, there are 18
males and 14 females in the class.

SY 2019-2020
Instrument
The research instrument to be used are the survey questionnaires together with
integrated observations. The questionnaire is ensured to secure and protect all the
information related to the study, may it be personal or not, to respect the privacy of the
respondents.
Part I. Evokes the demographics of the respondents.
Part II. Identifies the impacts of technology to the academic performance in the
new normal education of the respondents.
Part III. Evaluates the comments and suggestions of the respondents.
Validation of Instrument
The survey questionnaire was created by the researcher with the research questions
used as a guidance to ensure that the questionnaire would be related to the research
questions and would help to answer the problems stated in this research.
Data Gathering Procedure
The data gathering procedure would be conducted through the use of survey
questionnaires that would be sent via messenger since having physical contact with the
respondents are quite risky and should be limited as much as possible. Results would be
used to identify the impacts of technology to the academic performance of the respondents
in the new normal. A short observation would be also done during online conferences to
ensure validity of the data.

SY 2019-2020
Treatment of the Data
Descriptive statistics will be used in describing, analyzing and organizing the data.
The frequency distribution and percentage will be used to determine the profile of
the students on their Age, Gender, and General average on the previous quarter.
1. Percentage (%). This will be used to describe the distribution of the
respondents when grouped by the hundredths.
Formula:
% = f/N
Where:
% = Percentage
f = frequency
N = total number of responses
2. Weighted Mean (WX). This will be used to determine the overall
assessment on the impacts of technology to the academic performance of the respondents.
Formula:
WX = ∑f /N
Where:
WM = weighted mean
f = frequency
SY 2019-2020
N = total number of responses
