SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions, andrecommendations
based from the findings undertaken by the researchers from
the study entitled “
The Impact of Gadgets in Leaning among Grade 11 Students
”.
Summary
The main purpose of the study was to determine the impact of gadgets inlearning
among Grade 11-STEM students at Urdaneta City National High Schoolduring the
school year 2017-2018. It sought answers to the following problems:1. the frequency
of use of the following gadgets in learning: cellphone, computer,and tablet; 2. the
impact of gadgets in learning as perceived by the students; 3.the significant
relationship between the frequency of use and the impact ofgadgets.The study was
conducted at Urdaneta City National High School,Urdaneta City which included 70
Grade 11 student respondents who are enrolledin the Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) strand duringthe school year 2017-2018. This
study made use of the quantitative researchdesign with the questionnaire as the main
gathering tool.The data were tabulated into a contingency table and treated with
theproper statistical measures.

For problem number 1 and 2, the Average Weighted Mean method wasused; a
four-point scale and five-point scale Likert scale was used in theanalysis. The
problem number 3 and the null hypothesis were tested for itssignificance using the
Pearson Product Correlation method.

Conclusions
Relative to the analyses and interpretation of data, the followingconclusions were
drawn:
1. Cellphones were always used by the students, computers weresometimes used by
the students and tablets were seldom used by thestudents in learning.
2. The use of gadgets has a moderately positive impact in learning becauseof its
features that extend the ability of the students to do more things butit also has a
slightly negative impact because students are most likely tobe distracted by it.
3. There was no significant correlation between the frequency of use and theimpact of
gadgets which means the frequency of the use of gadgets doesnot affect its impact but
instead, it was based on how we use it.
Recommendations
With all of the foregoing analysis, interpretation, and conclusions of thisstudy, the
following are strongly recommended for possible course of action.
1. Future researchers can conduct a similar study and improve some flaws.
2. Another research should be conducted as follow-up study to investigatefurther the
impact of gadgets in learning.
3. Future researchers can use this study for references.
