Abstract:

This study determined the impact of Android phone utilization on the academic achievement in Araling Panlipunan of junior high school students for the school year 2021–2022 in Macapari National High School, Damulog South District, Division of Bukidnon. Specifically, it focused on the relationship between general attitude towards using Android phones, interaction competency, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention in using Android phones and the academic achievement of junior high school students. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. A survey questionnaire was used as the primary data-gathering instrument. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the academic achievement of the students. Mean and standard deviation were used to determine the general attitude and the impact of interaction competency, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention on academic achievement. Pearson's r was utilized to assess the relationship among the variables. Findings revealed that students demonstrated a very good general attitude and a very high impact of interaction competency, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention in using Android phones. Their academic achievement was classified as very satisfactory. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between general attitude, interaction competency, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention in using Android phones and academic achievement. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected.
