our lives, every day, is how we communicate; thanks to advancements in Information and

teenagers. It has virtually affected the society's accessibility, security, safety and

internet, transforming it, transferring it, collaborating with students and also creating a
more media-rich approach to instruction. Cellphone can support students in their learning
by exploring their world through these technologies. With the expansion of the
educational system as a result of the need for highly skilled workers lead to the school
According to majority of research done so far, it was discovered that the use of
cellphone in schools is problematic. The students are supposed take on their prescribed
roles as student with full concentration on their studies and free from contact with the
outside world. However, the cellphone gives room to blending students’ roles with other
roles thus distracting and disrupting the students’ academic work (Umaru et.al, 2016).
According to Basañez (2018), the use of cellphones in the Philippines has brought
better information access for workers, social engagement, and helping the taxi drivers for
the traffic data. Today, Filipinos are greatly attached to their cellphones in any reasons
like for communication, fun and games, entertainment, productivity, and education.

world. It is a common sight today in schools. Students going to class with some of the
most expensive cell phones that has all the applications that can connect them to the
internet. They can access, stream, download, upload, exchange and play different kinds
of media contents and information. The memory capacity of cellphone can help students
to keep materials for viewing whenever and where ever they are (Enyi Uko Jairus et al.,

The biggest problem of teachers in regards to cellphones is that the student uses

to poor teaching methods, lack of teaching materials, lack of supervision by the parents,

cellphone usage is not the only way that these devices affect academic performance of a
student at school.

The school did notice that the positive impact was greater for students under the
age of eleven rather than the older students. The students that were caught using their
