TECHNOLOGY AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF

SHS Students of the Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School(SEPNAS)
 CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS

Introduction

The rapid development of modern technology that has been observed over the past years
has potential positive outcomes and concerns regarding the way students are engaging with it and
how it is making an impact on their learning and academic performance. The world today is
witnessing rapid acceleration in all areas of science and knowledge, and a scientific explosion
leading to more technological developments and a new era known as the information age. The
educational systems must respond to these events and try to develop principles and standards for
selecting teaching methods to renew education and establish a modern educational environment
and an educational system that is compatible with these changes. In addition, the educational
system must be able to develop the learners abilities, knowledge and skills.

Education is an integrated system designed to produce proper human being who is

interactive with their environment, trying to change it so students can do their best. Technology,
must have entered the educational field like other fields of life for the purpose of improvement,
development, and innovation. Recently, teaching and learning methods have developed
dramaticallyy, particularly after the emergence of modern technologies that are based on teaching
and modern technology. There have been a lot of studies that addressed the importance of using
modern technology, and the impact of using modern technology on the academic performance of
students.

Modern technology has the ability to interact with the student through developed
educational programs to achieve various behavioral and educational objectives, save time, and
reduce the effort of the teacher and learner. It also has the ability to motivate learners to learn
without boredom, because it contains the feature of excitement and continous interaction.
Teaching with the use of modern technology also creates the opportunity for students to choose
the appropriate method besides the presentation of multiple learning methods in a short time
through drawings, interaction during learning, playing videos and browing the internet website to
explain various concepts. Modern education has entered education and leanring to be used in
several areas, such as self-learning through programmed learning of curricula and
methodological educational activities, conducting artistic works, coordinating the administrative
work in educational institutions, and overcoming the routine works that were time and effort
consuming.

Technology is one of the latest phenomenons that make the whole wide world cling to it.
It has brought about changes in terms of communication. It also creates positive and negative
impact in the lifestyle of billions of people but most particularly to the younger generation.
Technology helps develop both intrapersonal and interpersonal aspect of an individual. It unlocks
the curiosity of an individual on what is life and what is it all about. It may aid people in their
academic life just like how it supports a firm and a country in its economical, political, societal
and spiritual aspects. On the other hand, it still inculcates negative effects that have been wide-
spreading throughout the world.Considering the awaiting destruction in the diverse facets of life
of an individual, in his community and even this country.

This study will be conducted Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural

School(SEPNAS) Department where we selected students from SHS to pre-determine the
perceive effects of the impact of technology on the academic performance of students. Modern
technology has advantages and disadvantages in Education and its impact on the academic
performance of students. Technology in education plays an important role in improving the
educational skills and knowledge of students. This is very important especially those who need
to improve their knowledge in order for them to achieve a successful life in the future.
Technology in education is manifested through the use of computers, overhead projectors,
laptops and other prefered modern technology that the professor wants to use. This is also a great
help for teachers since they can already anhance their teaching skills and strategies every time
they are facing their class. Modern technology is essential for both students and the teacher but
there are some instances wherein modern technology is seen to be disadvantageous for both of
them as well. Some advantages of modern technology are, it promotes independent learning for
the students. Students can already learn on their own without assistance of their parents and
teachers. They can surf the internet in order to lok for the lessons they need to study. Quick
accessibility and well-equipped with the skills and knowledge in operating a computer would be
very helpful for students. Modern technology allows for easier access to information. The need
for heavy books to be brought back and forth from school and home is no longer needed with
modern technology. The books can stay in the classroom because the information that students
need is easily accessed on a computer. Modern technology also promotes an exciting way to
educate students. Since there are many images, videos and other graphics and text that may be
found on the internet, more students would feel the excitement in studying through the use of
modern technology. This is important in order to arouse students interest in studying.

Modern technology also has its disadvantages. Students who rely heavily on using
modern technology can become lazy in their studying habits. Computers make it easy to find
answers that students barely have to look for them. This may result in students having poor study
habits and developing a lazy attitude toward their education. Students may also forget the basic
way of studying. Students would no longer rely on the books for their courses since finding
answers on the internet is easier to do. Allowing students to surf the internet doesn’t necessarily
mean that all the things that they are going to discover are good for their mind and studies. There
are several things that are found in the internet which are not good for students so they need to be
properly guided by their teachers and parents whenever they use the computer and modern
technology. Technology in education plays an importang role in the study habits and skills of
students and can impact their academic performance. It depends on how the students choose to
utilize the modern technology available for them.

Some examples of modern technology are, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Scribd, Google.
Some examples of modern technlogy are:

1. Overhead Projector- The OHP is usually under the control of the teacher, this
means that it is by default an instrument of the teacher-centered instruction.
Teachers can develop its use as a tool of session mangement.
2. Powerpoint Presentation- this mode of technology can help communicate an
idea to an audience.
3. Computer- It has become the life line of the young generation. The present
generation of students like to embrace all the things in modern technology.
4. Flashnotes- allows students to upload their lecture notes and sell them to other
students who need more help or resources. The rating system allows the best
note takers to get more business and the general pool of knowledge expands as
students continue to share their work with on another
5. Lore- this social network allows professors and students to communicate,
follow one another, and discuss class work and lectures. It allows document
uploads, calendar sharing and a grade book option.
6. Study Blue- an app that allows students to organize their coursework, store
notes and flashcards, and share their materials with other students.
7. LEAP Motion- developed hardware that allows anyone to write, draw, zoom,
play and ineract with their computer screen using a finger, fingers, or entire
hand. By moving your hand over the device, the mouse follows your
movements.
8. Papertab- paper is an important part of school life
9. Chromebooks- Google’s Chromebook can be used on computers and laptops.
It is less expensive, one button push easy setup, easy to control settings and
restrictions, offers the traditional keyboard for fast typing and note taking, and
hardware fixes are easier and less costly
10. Celly- teachers are continually fighting against the ever growing list of
distractions that a smart phone offers to bored or shy students in the back of
the room. Celly is a text messaging network that allows anyone to create a
 network anywhere. Students can share an event in the classroom or on a field
trip using smartphones.
11. Flipped Classroom- this teaching model is using technology to change the way
instructors teach. Rather than spending the class time lecturing the students,
the lectures are delivered to the students in video format for them to watch at
home. The classroom time is set aside for 1 on 1 help, discussion, and
interaction based on the lecture homework.
12. Snagit, Jing, Camtasia- screen capture vieo software programs are making it
easy for instructors to give online tutorials.
13. LessonCast- teachers need help and support with their lesson plans just as
much as students need help with studying for exams. It allows teachers to
submit 2 minute lesson plan strategies, ideas, and resources using video,
documents, Powerpoint, etc. and share it with other instructors.
14. Kid Blog- designed specifically for younger students, provides safe
opportunity for children to start up their own blog connected to the classroom.
.
15. Donors Choice- teachers create projects they hope to accomplosh with their
students, they then share it across social media and if a teacher has created the
project pitch well, it gets the attention and money it needs
16. Live Binders- using a binder is now digital. Using the same idea as pinning
and bookmarking, the binder allows educators to collect and organize
resources for lesson plans.
17. Knewton- This modern technology aims at a personalizing content for optimal
learning. The flatform monitors the student’s activity and uses the information
to give the student the best personalized resources based on their level of
performance.

The researchers chose to study modern technology and its impact on the academic performance
of students since we are students ourselves and we use modern technology often in our studies.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

Significance of the Study

 The study about modern technology and its impact on the academic performance of
students of SHS in 2018-2019 at Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School(SEPNAS),
serves as a learning tool in their academic performance. This research study may be helpful to
students, faculty, instructors, parents, future researchers and the community. The result of the
study is expected to benefit the following:

Students
This research study gives information to students so that they can be aware of how to
utilize modern technology to better impact their academic performance. How to use effectively,
efficiently and appropriately. How students can become responsible in using modern technology.
How they can take advantage of the modern technology provided to them by the college.
Modern Technology can be used in schools often and include settings and features that enhance
accessibility. Increasing awareness of available accessibility features and providing teacher
training will help many students without requiring schools to acquire new technology.

Faculty Teachers
The information can help teachers know the advantages and disadvantages of how
modern technology impacts the academic performance of SHSstudents. And how they can use
this technology to help their students learning capabilities. It can be easier for teachers to choose
teaching strategies and tools specific for their students learning needs. Use modern technology to
enhance their teaching methods. Efficiency in making lessons and computing grades. Can benefit
teachers in their professional growth by being accessible to students. Easy access to students
through social communication. Teacher training and support is critical. For teachers to be able to
help students personalize their academic performance they must have the necessasry knowledge,
skills, and resources.

School
If the school has a complete facility in regards to modern technology many students will
be interested in enrolling in the school.
Community
 The community can be helped to be made aware of the impact technology has on its
residents. The community can be educated on how to create way to make modern technology
useful for students. Examples of this are computer shops. Must be responsible, there is a policy
to be 100 meters away from school. Only open during the time that students are excused from
school so that they prioritize their education

Parents
Understanding how modern technology impacts children is important. Parents are
responsible in monitoring their childrens use of modern technology. Parents will be able to guide
and mentor their children in their academic performance and in their social facets.

User
Persons who choose to use modern technology can better understand how this can
impact their academic performance. Be it they choose to use this in a beneficial way in
supplementing their study habits or allow it to distract them. Students will have to proper
knowledge in how to better themselves by using modern technology.

Future Researchers
This research study can be used as a comparative analysis and basis for future study
regarding the impact of modern technology on the academic performance of the students.

 CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents different studies made by the other researchers including articles
and other reading materials. These may be similar or closely related with this study. Furthermore
the literature contributed additional information, ideas and data.

Related Literature

Previous studies revealed the positive impact of technology on enhancing the

achievement and performance of students and in gaining significant improvement and changes in
all areas (Kulik and Kulik, 1991; Kulik, 1994; Rutz et al., 2003; Sivin-Kachla, 1998; Baker et al.,
1994). For instance, many studies of the comprehensive effort to integrate technology into
schools show an increase in test scores related to the use of technology. Kulik (1994) aggregated
500 individual research studies of computer based instruction students. The results of the
aggregation demonstrated that students who used computer-based instruction scored better than
those in the control condition without a computer. Students also gained more knowledge in less
time because the classes became more enjoyable and interesting after the introduction of
computers (Kulik, 1994).

Similarly, Sivin-Kachla (1998) found that students studying in a technology rich

environment achieved higher marks in all subject areas, gained a positive attitude towards
learning, were able to generate new ideas and built self- confidence. The US Department of
Education conducted a scientific study in 2001 to assess the impact of technology using two
types of student achievement measures – measure assessed reading achievement and assessed
mathematics achievement. A significant impact was revealed in the students' scores. Moreover,
in a study conducted in Pittsburgh, in which an intelligent tutor – software used to support the
curriculum – was used as part of the regular curriculum for ninth-grade algebra (Koedinger et al.,
1999). The results of the study demonstrated that 470 students in the experimental classes
outperformed students in compression classes by 15% on a standardized test and 100% on test
targeting the curriculum focused objectives (Koedinger et al., 1999). Moreover, in their
evaluation of Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT), Baker et al. (1994) conducted research
in five schools across the nation to assess the impact of adopting interactive teaching and
learning technology with an aim to encourage teachers to use computers to support student
initiative projects and to assess multiple resources and cooperative learning. The research
findings revealed that technology had a positive impact on the attitude of students towards
learning. It also changed the teachers’ teaching practices towards more cooperative group work
and less lecturing load (Schater, 1999).

Recent studies conducted by Banerjee et al. (2005) and Barrow et al. (2009) revealed that
adopting an instructional computer program can improve student achievement. Banerjee et al.
(2005) found that by integrating the mathematics curriculum with educational technology, the
mathematics scores of the fourth-grade students in Vadodara, India were increased. In addition,
Barrow et al. (2009) analysed the effect of an instructional pre-algebra and algebra program on
student's test scores in the US, while Rutz et al. (2003), examined the impact of using
instructional technology on optimizing the learning styles and process types. They found that
using web-based material to supplement the in-class experience can improve student
achievement. Murphy et al. (2001) found evidence of a positive relationship between using
discrete educational software and student achievement in reading and mathematics.

Previous studies on the integration of the technology in education have tackled student
achievement from a basic aspect, such as the scores, but have ignored many other aspects of
student achievement and performance. Therefore, despite thousands of impact studies, the impact
of technology used on student achievement remains difficult to measure and open to much
reasonable debate (Trucano, 2005).

Review of Foreign Studies

Research that has been conducted on the ways in which technology can improve what
children learn focuses on programs that aide in students’ comprehension of core subjects like
science, math, and reading, by presenting subject material in more easily understood formats.
The largest volume of research on the impact of technology in core subject areas has been
conducted on mathematics instruction. “Mathematics instruction also has the longest history of
using technology for instructional purposes and boasts several impressive systems” (Ungerleider
and Burns 2002, 15). Computer based applications can also be applied in science classrooms.
Research has shown that students receive higher test scores and have greater understanding of
the subject material. Roschelle et al.(2000,86) assert that “computer-based applications using
visualization, modeling and simulation have proven powerful tools for teaching scientific
concepts." When certain technology applications were used in the classroom, such as
ThinkerTools, it was discovered that students’ understanding of subject matter increased well
beyond their grade level. Researchers found that middle school students who used this computer
assisted learning program had developed the knowledge to understand and explain concepts that
were usually taught well above their grade level. The impact modern technology has on the
academic performance of public school children in the core subject area of mathematics is also
positive. In the traditional teaching of mathematics, students were required to apply basic
knowledge such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, and basic division. "However, in today’s
society, people increasingly use mathematical skills to reason about uncertainty, change trends in
data, and spatial relations" (Roschelle et al. 87). Using technology to check an equation
can provide immediate feedback if the equation is incorrect instead of writing the
equation out in pencil and waiting for a response from the teacher. A high school in
Pittsburg implemented a computerized Cognitive Tutor in its mathematics classes. This
program developed students higher order thinking skills by allowing them to use real. world
situations to solve problems (Ringstaff and Kelley 2002). Classrooms around the
nation are expanding the mathematical literacy of students as more teachers are taking
advantage of technology tools. “Algebra students who used computer assisted learning
programs outperformed students in traditional classes, achieving gains of up to 25 percent in skill
and up to 100 percent in problem solving” (Hubbard 2000). While there are only a few studies
that measure the effectiveness of technology in the area of language arts, the impact of
technology can still be seen through the application of literacy programs and word processing
systems. Computers may not be the best means to read complete books; however they are helpful
in examining small sections of text and material (Ringstaff and Kelley 2002, 6). When typing a
report, students are able to instantly see incorrect spelling and grammar. Technology also
provides students with a wider array of resources; they can access virtual libraries and have
access to information that their school does not have. Students who use email see an increase in
their reading and writing skills. “Communicating and interacting through email, has proven to be
a motivating factor in the improvement of language skills” (Ringstaff and Kelley 2002, 6).
Review of Local Literature
According to the research paper written by Jake M. Laguador, “Computer Utilization on
Academic Performance, Health, and Behavior of Selected Students Enrolled in Board and Non-
Board Degree Programs” it was determined that Filipino college students attending Lyceum of
the Philippines Univeristy utilized their computers during their study habits to support their
academic performance. It was determined that academic performance, health and behavior differ
in their reasons of computer usage, frequency per week and average hour per day of comupter
utilization. Descriptive type of quantitive research method was used in the study for 1,035
proportionately stratified randomly selected students from ten (10) different collages. Results
showed that students enrolled in non-board programs were spending more time using modern
technology than students in board programs. Educational purposes is the primary reason of both
groups in computer utilization. However, students from non-board programs have higher
posibility of utilizing modern technology for entertainment purposes than those from board
programs. Majority of the students enrolled in board programs have significantly lower GPAs
while those enrolled in non-board programs have higher possibility of encountering behavioral
problems. One-third of the students were suffering from negative health effects of modern
technology utilization no matter how long or short of time they spent online and in offline
activities.

METHODOLOGY

This chapter contains research design, determination of sample size, sampling design and
technique, the subject, the research instrument, validation of research instrument, data gathering
procedure, data processing method, and statistical treatment.

Research Design

This study used descriptive survey design. Since this design suited to the
researcher research problem “The Impact of Modern Technology to SHS Students of the Speaker
Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School(SEPNAS).Wherein the subject varies among
themselves, and this determined the extent to which different condition and situation are taken
with in the subject.

In addition, descriptive survey design is practical in obtaining the values of facts and
focuses attention on the most important phenomena of being reported in this study. It is also
necessary to discover the psychological and social aspect of research by way of application or
implementation of facts, to recognize between facts or influences.

The researcher utilized survey questionnaire in gathering and collecting data, for
answering the research questions, that requires facts, sufficient and accurate interpretation.

Determination of Sample Size

The researcher determined the sample size to be included in research as the respondent.
The formula use in getting the sample size is:

Formula:

Ss = NV+(Se)2 x( 1-p)

NSe +(V)2 x( 1-p)

Where:

S2= Sample size

 N= Total number of population

V= Standard value (2.58) of 1 percent level of probability

Se= Sampling error (0.01)

P= Larger possible proportion (0.50)

S5= NV+ [ (SE)2 x (1-P) ]

N SE + [ (V)2 x P ( 1-P) ]

= 133(2.58) + (0.01)2 x (1-0.50)

133(0.01) + (2.58)2 x 0.50(0.50)

= 343.14+ 0.0001 x 0.50

1.33+ 6.6564 x 0.50(0.50)

= 343.14 + 0.00005

1.33 +1.6641

= 343.14005

2.9941

= 114.605407 OR 115

Hence, the total sample size is one hundred fifteen (115) out of total population of one
hundred thirty three (133) after computing the sample size. The researcher delimit the sample
size to be included in research one hundred (100). The fifteen (15) of sample size was used in
test and retest method to determine the validity and reliability.
 Sampling Design and Technique

This research study focuses on the Impact of Modern Technology on the

Academic Performance of one hundred (100) selected SHS Students of the Speaker Eugenio
Perez National Agricultural School(SEPNAS), and according to the researcher purpose and
convenience. This study uses the nonscientific or nonprobability purposive convenience
sampling technique. More over the researchers selected the one hundred (100) SHS student as
the sample due to good evidence and they are readily available for this study. The researchers
recruited the subjects according to the inclusive criteria of the researchers and sought their
cooperation and support.

Subjects

Prior to getting the subject in this study, the researcher asked a written permission
from the registrar to gather the total population of the SHS students. The permission was granted
and the researcher got the total population of one hundred thirty three (133) SHS Students of the
Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School(SEPNAS)

Since the population is more than one hundred sample size were taken with the result of
one hundred fifteen (115). The included respondent were one hundred and the remaining 15 were
utilized the test and retest for the validity and reliability of the research instrument.

Out of the one hundred from the SHS student: Grade11 is sixty-five (65) with the
percentage of 32%; Grade 12 fifty-five (55) with the total percentage of 25%.
Table I.I Distribution of the Subject

N=100

SHS Department Frequency Percentage

Grade 11 (senior students) 67 74%

Grade 12(senior students) 33 26%

TOTAL 100 100%

The tool used in the study was a self-made questionnaire. It was comprised of two main
parts and four sub-part. The two main parts, part one is comprised of cognitive followed by
psychomotor then psychosocial and attitude and behavior.

It is a five-point Likert scale that was (5) - excellent, (4) – very good, (3) – good, (2) –
poor, (1) – needs improvement. Cognitive consist of 13 questions, psychomotor consist of 8
questions, while the psychosocial consists of 7 questions and lastly the attitude/behavior consists
of 8 questions in which respondent rate, in which respondents rate, the impact of modern
technology in the academic performance of SHS Students of the Speaker Eugenio Perez National
Agricultural School(SEPNAS). The second main part of questionnaire is preferred modern
technology to enhance the academic performance.
Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers will distribute a survey form to each section in order to determine the
users of modern technology and must be accomplished within one week. After the researchers
collected the survey forms, a list of the respondents which are modern technology users will be
organized then copies of the main questionnaire will be produced. The copies of the main
questionnaire will depend on the number of the respondents. However, extra copies will be
reproduced if some respondents loss their questionnaires. The respondents will be given two to
three days allowance to answer the main questionnaire. An officer of each section will be
selected to distribute and collect the questionnaires. Once the deadline of the questionnaires
arrived, the researchers will coordinate with the officers to retrieve all the questionnaires
completely. The questionnaires gathered will contain all the needed data for the study and it will
be organized, summarized, analyzed, and interpreted.

Statistical Treatment of Data

Frequency is the number, proportion, or percentage of items in a particular category in a set of

data, while percentage is the proportion or share in relation to a whole. This technique is used to
determine the percentage of our respondents out of total population in terms of frequency of
using Modern Technology.

Through this, the researchers also determined the percentage of the respondents who are affected
by the influence of modern technology. The formula for frequency and percentage is:
f

P = ------- x 100 %

N
Where: P is percentage

f is number of respondents falling under a particular category

N is total number of population

The mean, or average, is the sum of the values divided by the total number of values. This
determined the average result of the data gathered from different respondents.

Where:

Represents the sample mean

N represents the total number of respondents

X represents the frequency

Validity and Reliability of the Instrument

The initial draft of the questionnaire was submitted to the researchers adviser for
corrections and suggestions. Several changes were made over the course of time to refine the
questionnaire. Some items in the proposed draft were found irrelevant and therefore omitted. The
researchers used the test-retest method for the reliability of the research instrument. To test the
reliability of the instrument, the questionnaire was given to the respondents at two separate
times.The revised questionnaire was validated by the respondents, the students of the SHS
Students of the Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School(SEPNAS).

The formula is as follows:

rs = 1 - 6ΣD2

N3 – N

Where:

rs = Spearman rho

ΣD2 = Sum of squared difference between ranks

N = Number of cases

The computed result (totall number) he obtained correlation is high, it means that the
questionnaire is reliable.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers wrote a letter to the registrars office to find out how many students are
currently enrolled at SHS Students of the Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural
School(SEPNAS). We were informed that there are 133 students enrolled in all year levels. The
total population of this study is 115 students (65) Grade 11 and (55) Grade 12 students. Since the
population one hundred sample size were taken with the result of one hundred fifteen(115). The
included respondent were one hundred and the remaining 15 were utilized for the test and retest
for the validity and reliability of the research instrument.

This study uses the nonscientific or nonprobability purposive convenience

sampling technique in order to REASON FOR USING THE PROPOSED SAMPLING
METHOD. The remaining students were used to find out the validity and reliability of the
questionnaire. The research study focusses on the Impact of Modern technology to the academic
performance of one hundred (100) selected SHS Students of the Speaker Eugenio Perez National
Agricultural School(SEPNAS) researcher purpose and convenience.

The data for this research was collected using a survey questionnaire. The survey was
created using suitable questions modified from related research and individual questions formed
by the researchers.

Data Processing Method

Once the questionnaire was refined, the researchers asked permission from the dean and
chair of SHS in order to conduct the research. It was explained to the chair that the researchers
planned to survey the SHS students to conduct research on how modern technology impacts the
academic performance of the students. Once permission was granted from the chair, the
questionnaire was distributedThese were distributed to SHS Students of the Speaker Eugenio
Perez National Agricultural School(SEPNAS)

. The researchers found out the SHS students course schedule and we sought them out
during the class. We asked permission from their perspective professors if we could distribute the
surveys. Participants were given time to respond and then the researchers collected the surveys
within that day. There were no incentives offered for participating in the research.

Upon retrieval of the questionnaires, the researchers tabulated the findings and analyzed
the data. The data gathering was systemized. The researchers had made an assessment with
regards to the effect of modern technology to enhance academic performance by the SHS
Students of the Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School(SEPNAS), academic year
2018-2019.

Statistical Treatment

Upon the completion of the questionnaire retrieved the researchers analyzed, organized
and interpreted data in the study. The researchers used statistical tools for treatment of data like
chi-square, percentage, ranking and weighted mean, in “The Effect Modern Technology has on
the Academic Performance of SHS Students of the Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural
School(SEPNAS).These helped the researchers gather and compare data. The following are the
tools used in the study.

1. Chi-Square Test. Often used to determine whether there is a goodness of fit. It is

alsoused to test the association of categorical data and to test the hypothesis of
independence of two variables of classification.
Solution:

(0i –Ei)2

X2= Ei

Where:

Oi= observed frequency in the ith category

Ei= expected frequency in the ith category

2. Percentage and Ranking. To get the percentage of the profile, the total frequency is
divided by the number of cases multiplied by 100. (Calmorin, L.,2001).
Solution:
 P=f

Where:

P = percentage

f = frequency

N = total number of respondents

3. Weighted Mean (WM). The weighted mean is obtained by multiplying the

number of responses by the given weight and dividing results by the total number
of respondents (Calmorin.L.,2001).

Solution:

WM = fx

Where:

WM = weighted mean

fx = summation of weighted frequencies

N = total number of respondents

Justification of the Study

The formula for the computation of percentage distribution is

f
% x 100
N
where :
%  percentage
f  frequency
N  total number of respondent s
Weighted Mean - Averaging the quantities by attracting more significance to some of the
numbers than the others. We accomplish this by assigning weighs to the quantities, where the
weight represents measure their relative importance.

x
  f  w
n
where :
x  the weighted mean
f  frequency
n  total number of cases
One-way Analysis of Variance- is a method for dividing the variation observed in experimental
data into different parts; each part assignable to a known source, cause or factor (Ferguson,
1976).

A t-test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a Student's t
distribution, if the null hypothesis is supported. It is most commonly applied when the test
statistic would follow a normal distribution if the value of a scaling term in the test statistic were
known. When the scaling term is unknown and is replaced by an estimate based on the data, the
test statistic (under certain conditions) follows a Student's distribution.
