Background Of The Study

Technology helps a lot of lives in different aspects. According to Mickeel
Allen “Technology affects the way individuals communicate, learn, and think. It
helps society and determines how people interact with each other on a daily
basis. Technology plays an important role in society today. It has positive and
negative effects on the world and it impacts daily lives.”

Digital technology has grown exponentially and its use has become global.
Widespread and continuous connectivity has reached much of humanity thanks
to the ubiquity of smartphones and the accompanying access to information,
social networking and audiovisual entertainment. Accelerating technological
progress in the digital realm utilizes devices and applications with cloud
computing, big data analytics, blockchain, or artificial intelligence routines.
Technological progress has been accompanied by negative social impacts such
as: The inability of a large portion of the world’s population to benefit from
digitization. This is basically because their income is too low to have meaningful
connectivity (i.e. quality access). Access to devices, fixed home connections and
the ability to use them on a daily basis. While coverage is adequate, this is
creating a large gap in demand as it is not reflected in connectivity and usage.
Other problems, such as the spread of fake news and cyberattacks, increased
risks to privacy and personal data security, and mass production of e-waste, are
also exacerbated.

In overall, this study aims to discuss the effects of digital technology in

modern development, the benefits and drawbacks of using digital technology,
and how important digital technology as part of the modern development.

Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents the articles and information on what are the
effectiveness of digital technology in Keeping up in the modern development.
Each article can help the future researchers to get an idea or information.

Foreign Literature

Different digital technologies are used in online teaching daily through

the use of different digital technologies including computers, iPads,
smartphones, etc. Chao and Roblyer and Doering (2010) found that multimedia
tools such as audio, video, and hyperlink documents nested in PowerPoint
slides present learning materials that stimulate the attention of students and
encourage their thinking process. Similarly, a study by Bean (2012) found that
the use of Prezi provides users with the opportunity for students and
instructors to edit slides online in collaborative learning environments. Conboy,
Fletcher, Russell, and Wilson (2012) conducted a qualitative study that
interviewed students about their opinions on Prezi use in online learning.
Results revealed that Prezi was a useful digital learning tool for facilitating their
learning process. According to Biasutti and El-Deghaidy (2012), wikis has a
positive impact on students’ educational success in online learning, support
students’ thinking skills (Donnelly & Boniface, 2013) as well as promote
management skills. Miyazoe and Anderson (2010) conducted a study that
investigated comparisons of three online writing activities in a university
course: forums, blogs, and wikis. Results showed that students were more
favorably disposed towards wikis (86%) followed by blogs (82%), and forums
(78%). The use of blogs was used as a writing material while wikis was
associated with translation and beneficial in online collaborative learning
activities. According to Bryer and Zavattaro (2011), social media tools facilitate
social interactions, which encourage collaborations and negotiations across
multiple people. Furthermore, studies found that social media tools promote
educational technologies that enhance peer feedback, students mentoring, and
social interaction of learning (Alwagait, Shahzad, & Alim, 2015; Dabbagh &
Kitsantas, 2012; Grosseck & Holotescu, 2011; Sanch, Cortijo, & Javed, 2014).
Likewise, AlAufi and Crystal (2015) conducted a study that investigated the
impact of social media on the academic patterns of informal communication
between students in the social sciences and humanities. Findings indicated
that social media tools had a positive effect on students’ informal learned
communication. Interactivity is a critical component that digital technologies
and teaching practice pursue.

The popularity of synchronous video conferencing is partly based on its

high interactivity among participants. The development of breaking out-rooms
function enables instructors to organize group activities during video
conferencing readily, but instructors are recommended to mobilize the
structured guideline for promoting achievement. Saltz & Heckman (2020)
conducted a study about the effect of the combination of synchronous video-
based break-out rooms and structured pair activity within online courses
about programming. In a guided instruction of activities, students took
alternately two roles: driver (the person that had control of the shared screen
and was typing within a shared document) and observer (the person that saw
what was being written by the driver). Findings from observing and surveying
114 break-out room sessions before and after the introduction of structured
guidance showed improved coordination, expanded responsibilities, increased
engagement, and productivity. Bledsoe (2013) conducted a study that used
multimedia tools (videos and audio clips). The study explored the
implementation of a photo-rich comprehensive counseling center environment
through which students of a semester-long online graduate psychology class
learned about important research methodology concepts. Findings indicated
that multimedia tools as an effective way to promote student learning and
engagement in online settings. Hernández-Sellés et al. (2019) reported the
positive relationship between the use of online collaborative tools (virtual
campus, chat, and discussion forum) and the interactions within and between
student groups. The use of VoiceThread, an online tool also allowed (students)
users to record narration in presentation slides while they uploaded Power
Point, was an illustrative example of emerging technology to enhance social
presence (Thompson et al., 2017). Wang et al. (2020) demonstrated that
instructor-present video, compared to instructor-absent video, had a better
favorable effect on the learning process than otherwise. Young & Hyunjoo
(2020) studied the effect of interactive visual learning tools by comparing to the
effect of noninteractive learning tools in an online course about color theory.

Local Literature

Since Philippines is a developing, it is relevant to examine some of the

studies on e-learning in developing countries. A study on e-learning in
developing countries presented a framework for developing e-learning programs
in universities [21]. The authors provided some guidelines on theoretical and
practical experiences of e-learning with specific context of Iran, which is a
developing country like Philippines. It was suggested that though e-learning
can be very effective tool and efficient framework for learning in developing
countries particularly in rural and remote area which are not easily accessible,
yet lot needs to be done to make the technology easily acceptable in developing
countries [21]. He suggests that well organised monitoring and control

5

programs, support for students and lecturers in use of technology can help in
improving the quality of education in developing countries. The study does not
deal with the issue of unintended consequences of use of technology in
learning. The study of Oye et al [19] examines the application of e-learning
model to explain the acceptance of e-learning technology in academic setting.
Their study mainly focuses on the relationship of students‟ use of e-learning
and their academic performance. Their results show that e-learning improves
student academic performance . According to these authors positive perception
of e-learning is crucial to foster the use of e-learning. Although students‟
attitude influence the intention to use the e-learning, the actual use of e-
learning improves the academic performance of students.

Another paper by Lumadi et. al. addresses the impact of e-learning on

the academic performance of student- teachers. They conducted an experiment
to determine if student- teacher taught using method of e-learning performed
better that student-teacher taught using the traditional method of teaching and
learning. Their findings suggests that e-learning has a significant influence on
the performance of students as student-teachers taught using e-learning
consistently perform better than student teacher taught using the traditional
method. In their conclusion , e-learning was found to have a significant effect
on student-teachers. They supported an initial professional development of
student-teachers based on e-learning technologies, change in training
approaches, strategies and activities in order to meet the educational
challenges. Their study was focused on South Africa and could be useful to
developing countries such as Philippines. This study however does not address
the issue of unintended consequences of e-learning. The paper by Thaket et al
has addressed the issue of effectiveness and usefulness of e-learning approach
in teaching the maths course at level 5 in Yemen. The performance of an
experimental group of 30 students studying using e-learning approach was
examined and compared with the performance of 30 students the same course
using a tradition learning package. It was concluded that there was a
significant gain in Delayed Achievement of experimental; group using e-
learning approach as compared to one using traditional learning method. The
results suggests that e-learning has achieved a greater efficiency than
traditional method. Harandi has also investigated the strength of the
relationship between e-learning and students‟ motivation among students in
Tehran Alzahra University. They found that e-learning is an element which
affects student motivation. Their research is expected to be helpful in
developing countries for educational thinkers who want to understand the
effect of eLearning on students‟ motivation. But their analysis is limited by the
fact generalization of the outcomes cannot be made to other countries. With
particular reference to Philippines, the study of Gamboa discusses the
increasing prominence of the internet in the world community, the use of
internet-based courses especially for advanced study where the student already
has a decent grounding of the subject. This especially holds true for the study

6

of English. According to Gamboa, e-learning is only applicable for student in

Philippines, who knows very little English but is ashamed or embarrassed to
study in a regular classroom. Although it is advisable for beginning students to
study in a real classroom environment and where total immersion is still the
most effective way to learn the basics of the language, online classes are
becoming more of a logical choice for its anonymity. Furthermore, students can
fit their studies into their schedules, and do not have to travel to find people
fluent in English. These teachers can be brought directly into the student‟s
home or office. While there will always be a place for “analog” classrooms, e-
learning will increasingly become a prominent tool for those seeking to better
their skills and increase their value on the world market.
