ABSTRACT
This research aims to know if mobile phones provide the students a
greater help while they are inside their classroom, because mobile phones
became an essential part of daily lives of people especially students where the
researchers have a motivation to know the effectiveness of mobile phone. The
study used the quantitative descriptive research design where the researchers
describe how effective mobile phone is. The sampling technique used by
researchers was simple random sampling that involves the randomly picking
of respondents. The randomly selected students from grade 11 STEM are the
respondents of the study. The researchers used the weight formula of Mean
and a 4-point Likert scale as statistical treatment of data. The study resulted to
these major findings: majority of the respondents are 16 years of age and in
the stage of young adulthood; majority of the respondents are from the section
of Garnet and Peridot; the respondents perceive mobile phones as an effective
partial learning tool in maintaining a passing grade; senior high school students
differ in their perception on the effectiveness of mobile phones as a learning
tool in maintaining their high academic performance. The researchers
concluded the use of mobile phones in improving the academic performance
is effective. The school should promote a campaign material showing the
effectiveness of mobile phone using the academic site and platforms.
