1. Writing the Research Title: Write your research title based

on the approved topic and explain the reason for your
choice.

The outcomes of how grade 11 stem students at the University of

the East Caloocan use their digital literacy to pass the new learning
modalities during the pandemic.
2. Write the Background of Research:
The Internet is a technology that has become a huge part of people's daily lives.
Over the last few decades, internet connectivity has improved tremendously and is
available everywhere such as homes, offices, travel, and schools. Today, empirical
studies report that access to information can influence the academic performance of
students. However, studies on Internet use among high school students are limited
in Wa Township, making it unclear whether Wa Township high school students use
the Internet and what impact it has on their academic performance. Therefore, this
study investigates Internet use and its impact on high school students in Wa
Township. Primary data was obtained from a random selection of 314 high school
students who are in their third year. Data were collected through a questionnaire and
then analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and ANOVA. The results
indicate that Internet sources for high school students include the school information
communication lab, mobile phones, home Internet facilities, and public Internet
cafes. In addition, it was found that students' access to the Internet has a positive
influence on their academic performance. However, the different uses of the internet
among students do not influence their academic performance. The study concludes
that the availability of different Internet sources for students does not give them
immediate access to all of them. Therefore, it is recommended that senior secondary
school principals liaise with Ghana Education Service administration and policy
makers to provide Internet infrastructure in schools. This is relevant because the
provision of internet infrastructure in schools is a key strategy to promote academic
performance.
In the Philippines recently, the education system has faced an unprecedented health
crisis that has shaken its foundations. Given the current uncertainties, it is vital to
gain a nuanced understanding of students' online learning experience in times of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Although many studies have investigated this area, limited
information is available on the challenges and the specific strategies students
employ to overcome them. Therefore, this study attempts to fill the gap. Using a
mixed methods approach, the findings revealed that college students' online learning
challenges varied in terms of type and scope. Their biggest challenge was related to
their home learning environment, while their least challenge was competition and
technological literacy. The findings further revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic
had the greatest impact on the quality of the learning experience and the mental
health of students. Regarding the strategies used by the students, the most used
were the management and use of resources, seeking help, improving technical

aptitude, time management and control of the learning environment. Implications for
classroom practice, policy making, and future research are discussed

A structured search of library databases revealed that research examining the

effectiveness of e-Learning has increased considerably in the last five years. After
taking a closer look at the search results, the authors discovered that previous
researchers defined and investigated effectiveness in multiple ways. At the same
time, learning and development professionals within public and private organizations
are increasingly being asked to demonstrate the effectiveness of their learning and
development initiatives. This article investigates the effectiveness of e-Learning
through an integrative review. The article answers the following research questions:
How is the effectiveness of e-Learning defined? How is the effectiveness of e-
Learning measured? What makes e-Learning solutions effective? The authors found
19 different ways to define efficacy, the most common of which is "learning
outcome," which appears in 41% of the articles examined in the literature review.
Also, the most common way to measure efficacy is quantitatively with pre- and post-
tests. This paper includes an empirical study of an e-learning solution for science
teachers (K-12) that serves as a valuable addition to the findings of the literature
review. The study suggests that it is difficult to use e-Learning to improve teacher
performance, since participating teachers can apply various strategies to avoid
substantial changes in their work-related practices. In addition, the study shows that
the mere use of compliance with predefined learning objectives as a parameter of
effectiveness does not allow developers and researchers to see unexpected and
unintended changes in practice that occur as a result of the e-Learning program.
Finally, the research provides insights into the validity of self-assessments,
suggesting that participants can successfully report their own practices, provided
certain qualitative survey approaches are used. In this article, a model is developed
to understand the relationships of the key factors that influence efficacy. The model
classifies these factors from three perspectives: the context in which the eLearning
solution is used, the artifact (the eLearning solution itself), and the people using the
artifact. Support and resources, people's motivation and prior experience, and the
interaction between the artifact and the people using it were found to influence
effectiveness. Finally, this paper discusses whether e-Learning and traditional face-
to-face learning should be measured according to the same definitions and
approaches to effectiveness and ends with a call for learning designers and
researchers to focus their measurement efforts on counting what counts for them.
and its stakeholders.
Some STEM students at UE Caloocan struggle to participate in online classes
because they lack books in all subjects, making it difficult to study effectively; others
live in provinces with poor internet access and weak signals, making it difficult to
attend online classes; and others have books, gadgets, and the internet, but they
don't use it properly or at all; They have books, but they haven't read them; they
have internet and gadgets, but they don't use them to study; instead, they use them
to play games; they have a canvas account, Gmail, and portals, but they haven't
opened or read the announcements; and they haven't attended courses. Others, on
the other hand, are studying well despite their lack of computer literacy. This is a
 ACTIVITY 4 OF GROUP 5
very essential topic because if it is not addressed sooner, the grade 11 stem
students at the University of the East Caloocan ' future will be jeopardized.

2. Wite the Statement of the Problem

General Problem: The objective of the study is to identify the effects of how
grade 11 stem students at the University of the East Caloocan use their digital
literacy to pass the new learning modalities during the pandemic.

Specific Problems: Specifically, the study aims to answer the

following:
1. how grade 11 stem students at the University of the East Caloocan use
their digital literacy to pass the new learning modalities during the
pandemic?
2. What advice can you provide them on how to make the best use of their
digital literacy?
3. What future studies can be made based on the findings of the study

What are the Sub-Problems?

What is the most typical issue faced by grade 11 stem students at the University of
the East Caloocan who have digital literacy but have failed the subject?
How do other students succeed in their subjects despite their lack of digital literacy?
Is it the problem of digital literacy or the students themselves?
