Summary
The researcher conducted this study to find out the perceived effects of utilizing modern technology gadgets in learning mathematics of fourth year high school students of First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities.
Specifically, this study sought answers to the following questions: (1) what teaching strategies do the teacher utilizes modern technology gadgets? (2) How often are these modern technology gadgets used? (3) How does the use of modern technology gadgets affect the respondents learning? (4) What are the perceived effects of using modern technology gadgets in learning mathematics? (5) Is there a significant relationship between the frequency of the utilization of modern technology gadgets in the effective learning of mathematics?
The study tested the null hypothesis of no relationship between the frequency of the utilization of modern technology gadgets in the effective learning of mathematics.
This study is limited to the responses of the one hundred two (102) fourth year high school students of First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities (FAITH) enrolled in Academic year 2008-2009. The population was identified through the use of proportional stratified random sampling. This study includes only two kinds of modern technology gadgets – computer and scientific calculator.
The descriptive method of research was used and a self-constructed, validated questionnaire served as the basic instrument in gathering data.
Slovin’s formula, weighted mean, composite mean and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient were the statistical treatments used to qualify the data.
