INTRODUCTION
A mobile phone is a device that can basically make and receive calls over
a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area (Pew Research Center,
2010) .In recent years, different types of phones have been produced by different
manufacturer. Modern phones support very wide range variety of other services
apart from making and receiving calls and messages. This include; MMS, e-mail,
internet access, short range wireless communications, business, applications,
gaming and photography
In 1973, 10 years before cell phone was first released onto the market, the
first cell phone was made by Motora Researcher and executive Martin Cooper.
Mobile phones are powerful. It is the medium use for education, communication,
and connection between people regardless of their distance from other people.
Mobile device brings a lot of changes in people’s lives.
Each phone has a unique features, uses, capacities, and modes. Most
people who depend and benefit from this device are students. Not all students are
used in visiting libraries. Most of them depend on their mobile devices for gathering
various data. With this device, they can gain or increase their knowledge or they
can spoil themselves.
Mobile phones are undeniably convenient, helpful tools for study for study
and can be hurtful source of distraction depending on the attitude and use of
pattern of a student. However, spending a lot of time on mobile phone would
contribute negative effect and application usage while studying on student’s
academic performance.
The researchers have chosen this study to determine the frequency usage
of mobile phones of the students. In addition, the researcher would like to know
the significant relation of frequency usage of this tool to their academic
performance. It is widely known that most students spend most of their time
entertaining themselves using mobile phones as a medium. The utilization of this
convenient tool could either develop and improve their skills in a higher level or
could affect and lower the level of their performance in the school.
This area of interest was chosen because of the unregulated usage and
over dependent attitude on these devices especially among our secondary school
students. Using the mobile phones people can easily access on the internet that
helps the people to live in automatic world or can make things lighter. The
researchers would also like to contribute beneficial information not only among the
students but to the teachers and the administration as well.
1.2 Theoretical Framework
Many models attempt to find the right mix. In general terms, these
pedagogies are essentially theories of learning predicted on an assumption that
learning occurs in the classroom environment. Mobile technology has upset this
notion and has advanced newer perspectives by emphasizing collaboration,
personalization and authenticity.
The research employs the use of “Theory of Planned Behavior “(TPB). The theory
proposed a model in order to measure how human actions are guided. It predicts
the occurrences of a particular behavior, provided that the behavior is intentional.
The theory contains three variables that are used to predict intention to perform a
particular behavior provided the behavior is intentional. The intention stands as
cursive agents of behaviors. The TPB is hereby used to predict factors explaining
variances on intention and behaviors of cell phone usage in the classroom. It was
reported that between 25.6% and 34% of explained variance in behavior in the
previous researches was the applications of the TPB. The present study is
designed based on the principles of TPB to explore attitude, subjective norm, and
perceived behavioral control, in relation to students’ intention to use cell phone in
the classroom. Whether or not the variables influence students’ behavior intention
in using cell phone in the classroom. Attitude toward the behavior is a person’s
overall evaluation of the behavior performed or to be performed. This Behavior can
be determined based on two beliefs: 1) belief about the consequences of the
behavior (behavior belief) and 2) positive or negative judgment of the behavior
(outcome evaluation). Subjective norms are a person’s own estimate of the social
pressure to perform or not to perform the target behavior.

Figure 1.1 Shows the Relation of the two variables and the factors of the study.
This table shows the relationship between the independent and dependent
variable. Mobile phone is the independent variable because it can stand alone.
Then on the other side will be the Frequency and Academic performance is the
dependent variable. The bottom would be the factors that affect the dependent
variable. Gender is included, because the pattern of usage of mobile phones
depends upon the gender of an individual. It has been studied that women
frequently use mobile phones than those of men. Diverse tracks also affects the
frequent usage of mobile phones. It includes the academic and other tracks.
This study aims to know the frequency usage of mobile phones on the
Senior High Students of Talon-Talon National High School. More specifically it
seeks to find the answers for the following questions:
1.1 Age
1.2 Gender
1.3 Strand
4.1. Gender
4.2 Track/Strand.
The study can benefit both students and teachers to be aware about the
findings of the study. The study will tell the frequency usage of mobile phone and
its relation to the level of performance of the students.
It will also show us the positive and negative side of frequently use of mobile
phones. This will give us a hint what is the next step that we must supposed to do
in order to improve the student’s performance higher.
School administration. The findings of the study will help the school‘s future
plans on how to deal with this issue. For them to be able to determine the main
cause of the issue in order to give them an idea, and improve their strategy in
ending the issue.
Students. The findings of the study will serve as guide for the students to know
how mobile phones affect their performance inside the classroom. For the
awareness of the students in their weaknesses can lead to improvement and
success.
Teachers. The study will give the teachers an idea on how mobile phones affect
the performance of a student. It will give the teacher the benefit of having an insight
about the prerequisite steps they can use to improve their way of teaching and
enhancing the student’s performance.
Future Researcher. The study may serve as a basis for the next future researcher
which will serve as related studies. Conducting a same study will give us a wider
perspective about the effects of adhering oneself in using mobile phones.
The study aims to identify the frequency usage of mobile phones in the
academic performance of the students in Talon-Talon National High School. The
following articles will support the study and helps the study more concrete.
According to Dietz and Henrich (2014), using cell phones in the classroom
has been connected with lower recall and a decrease in student’s satisfaction with
instruction.
A study by Wood et al. (2012) found that students who used Facebook
during a classroom lecture had significantly lower scores on tests of the lecture
material than students who only used notes taken with paper and pencil.
Students who believe they can multitask may be more likely to believe they
can use their cell phones and pay attention during class (Kuznekoff, Munz, and
Titsworth, 2015).
There is an assumption from many educators that mobile phones in class
interrupt learning, creating student hesitance to be seen on the devices
(Kuznekoff and Titsworth, 2013)
Furthermore, the ability for the devices to emit loud noises such as the
ringing from incoming calls and screen brightness means they have the capacity
to distract not only the phone user, but surrounding students as well (Thomas and
O’Bannon, 2013).
Chen and Tzeng (2010) found that among heavy internet users information
seeking was associated with better academic performance, while video games
playing was associated with lower levels of academic performance.
The sign of Smartphone addiction are constantly checking the phone for
no reason, feeling anxious or restless without the phone, waking up in the middle
of the night to check the mobile and communication updates, delay in professional
performance as a result of prolonged phone activities, and distracted with smart
phone application. This study was approved by Human and Animal Ethics
Committee of AIMST University.
