Level of Technology Awareness and Extent of Technology Utilization at MSU Saguiaran Community High School

Abstract:

The effect of information technology on human life is immense, and its role in education cannot be subsided. The contribution of information technology has gained momentum due to the closure of educational institutions, raises challenges for students learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of technology awareness and extent of technology utilization in the classroom, the benefits and drawbacks of the use of technology in education, and particularly the impact on students’ learning. The study used the descriptive-correlational research design. The researchers chose the junior high students in MSU- Saguiaran Community High School because the researchers wanted to determine the level of technology awareness and the extent of technology utilization at MSU-Saguiaran Community High School. Based on the results of the study, the level of awareness of the respondents, among the indicators of the level of awareness, the indicator, “Learning the use of is worthwhile and necessary subject” obtained the highest mean of 3.36, the highest indicator (4- It motivates me to explore many topics I may not have seen before) with a mean of 3.52. Further, in correlation, the null hypothesis, which states that there is no significant relationship between the extent of technology utilization in learning activities and the level of technology awareness of the respondents was rejected. Furthermore, in the regression analysis, the null hypothesis stating that “there is no variable/s best predict the extent of technology utilization the respondents” was rejected.
