Effects of Using Technology

This document proposes a research study on the effectiveness of using technology as a learning material for students. It discusses how students today are immersed in technology and prefer to engage with digital content over traditional printed materials. The study aims to determine if technology improves students' learning capacity by comparing preferences and physical impacts of technology-based versus printed learning materials. Specifically, the research questions ask about preferences in terms of convenience, access to information, and potential for physical problems like scoliosis from printed materials. The goal is to prove the significant relationship between technology and improved student learning.

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Technology, today plays a vital role in the lives of people. It is seen as a basis of

growth of an economy. Technology is such a big part of the world, it is used by children

and adults on a daily basis, by way of web surfing, texting, social networking, studies and

in more ways. We are an evolving technological society and in many ways we have

become dependent on its use. Thus, the use of technology and teaching students have to

use it has become a high priority in schools. The students of today are surrounded by

technology, where access to vast collection of information is only a fingertip away. Due

to the large use of technology in the world, the use of technology in teaching and learning

is essential, if we are to make a lasting impact for learning materials on how students

learn. According to Cristen (2009), the use of technology as learning materials will

become an even bigger priority in schools.

Students today live in a very technological world. Most students use some form of

technology on a daily basis including; texting, social networking and etc. Students see

these types of technology as useful and enjoyable. According to a study released by

Educause (2004) technology enriches the the educational experience providing options

that can accommodate students in their quest to learn. These very same students that are

accustomed to these types of technology will relate to using technology as learning

materials. Causing students to be more engaged; thus students often retain more
information. If the students learning environment mirrors the ways in which they engage

in the world, they will excel in their education (Christen, 2009). Costley (2014)

emphasized that as technology rapidly occurring globally, technology is relevant to

students as learning materials. Technology is a powerful contributor to learning if is used

to deepens student’s engagement in meaningful and intellectually authentic curriculum.

Technology is a tool. It should be selected when it is the best tool for students to learn.

The use of appropriate instructional materials is very vital to the learning and/or

educational process. Learning materials, can also have negative flaws as it also presents

numerous impacts on the society and that it also has gaps that can be proven. First

traditional learning materials is outdated or insufficiently covers a topic or subject area.

As it tends to be low level or fact-based. It doesn’t take students’ background knowledge

into account. Second is that traditional learning materials is cost efficient since quality

materials take time to produce and adequate staff time as well as resources needs to be

allocated. As these factors combined, it generates the idea that it is best to have

technology as learning materials rather than simple learning materials since technology

seems to increase student learning capacity.

In order to address this problem, the researchers will conduct a research regarding

the problem. Proving the significant relationship between technology and students’

learning capacity. Thus the researchers aim to come up with results that will identify the

effectiveness of technology as learning materials in students’ learning capacity. An

interview and survey will be conducted by the researchers to acquire data and opinions

from the students.


Statement of the Problem

The main purpose of this study is to prove the effectiveness of using technology

as learning materials in students.

Specifically, it aims to answer the following questions:

1. Which type of learning material is more preferred in terms of convenience?

2. Which type of learning material is more preferred in terms of access to

information?

3. What is the significant percentage of having physical problems like scoliosis

when using printed learning materials?
