Conceptual Framework
6. Research Design
This study will use the descriptive
correlation method. It is use to
determine the relationship between two
variable, how do dependent variable
manipulated by independent variable
Costales, et al., (2003).
CHAPTER 2
METHODOLOGY
7. Research Locale
This is conducted at Tibanban
National High School as one of the
schools of the Division of the City of
Mati. The school is located at
Barangay Tibanban, Municipality of
Governor Generoso, province Davao
Oriental.
8. Research Respondent
The respondents of this study
will be the Grade 11 students of
Tibanban National High School (S. Y.
2019-2020) under the supervision of
the Department of Education (DepEd)
in the Division of the City of Mati.
9. Data Analysis
The data were gathered through the use of researchers’ instruments. The
researchers will use the following statistics to analyze gathered data.
Weighted Mean. This statistical use will help determine the extent of the use
smartphone and academic performance of the students. It is the most common
statistical tool especially in computing the population.

A= average (or arithmetic mean)
N= the number of terms (e.g., the number of items or numbers being averaged)
X1=the value of each individual item in the list of numbers being averaged
Pearson Product Moment Correlation. It is use to determine the significant
relationship between the use of smartphone and academic performance of Grade
11 students in Tibanban National High School. It is the most appropriate test to use
when both the dependent variable and independent variable are from an interval
or ratio scale Rubing and Babbie (2010).

Summary of the Extent of the Use of Smart Phones
The result of the study is high which braces the notion Nurhaeni (2016) and
Hasan, B. (2017) who stated that the use of smart phone may be traceable to
smartphone addiction particularly online/offline gaming and communication through
various application (e.g. Facebook, messenger, Instagram etc.). These indicators will
highly affect the academic performance of the students.

Summary of the Extent of the Academic Performance
The result of the study is high which braces the viewpoint of Nurhaeini
(2016) and Hassan et al., (2017) which emphasizes that study habit and class
participation must be practiced by the students. They implied that class
participation and study habit play a vital role to the academic performance of
the students. The more student will participate the higher the GPA of the
students

The Pearson correlation has the value of .073. Thus, the use of Smart Phones has no
impact to the Academic Performance of students. The results were highly supported
by the view point of Panganiban et al., (2009) stated that a distractive atmosphere in
studying can bring the academic performance down Smart Phone was perceived as
favorable prior for the Academic work of the students since it can help in researching
for some discussed topics that the students fail to understand during the class session
Hasan, B. et al., (2017) and Cabral, A. et al., (2016).
