In today’s generation, technology has affected and changed the way people live.
Technology has made people’s lives more proficient and at ease. There is hardly anyone
who has not been changed by the advances in technology and computers of today’s society.
developed from new technological advancements. Many people have lesser stress in their
lives because there are new useful hi-tech inventions created each day to help them do things
quicker and easier. Some of these helpful technologies are cell phones, computers, and the
Internet.
Technology also has negative effects in the lives of the user, and in his/her or her
immediate friends and family members. It affects the individuals’ personal health, family,
social, financial, and academic life. Over using gadgets negatively affects the mind of an

Despite the fears of parents and some teachers that gadgets may distract students, surveys
and studies have shown that generally, these technological tools are a big help in learning.
The United States had invested heavily by providing computers for students in
public schools. Reports say the federal government spends more than $3 billion a year on
digital content alone. The US has also launched a massive program to make high-speed

through studies that children (and adults for that matter) can better grasp and understand
their lessons in a more relaxed environment, without the prying (and sometimes mocking)

its participants (Bell & Winn, 2000). This theory promotes learning in a community
among the parts and participants of this system, which can be other people or tools
representing their knowledge. At times, by using these tools, a little bit of the
information might stick with the user, this is known as cognitive residue. It is
through interaction with other members and tools that progresses learning.
The role of technology within this theory is an invaluable part of the system in
which the learners are interacting. This interaction can either help to distribute their

knowledge, off-load certain amounts of cognitive work making the cognitive load
less and or help to scaffold new capabilities (Bell & Winn, 2000). For example,
using camera to take a photo allows more time to learn instead of writing it on a
notebook. Also, in this theory, technology (gadgets) can be used to help extend
human capabilities. For example, calculator can be used to solve math problem
quickly instead of solving it manually. These gadgets help students to make their
learning more efficient. Another example of this is taken from a case study that
was conducted using robotics to produce solving problem skills. In this case study,
students were placed into small collaborative groups and were asked to construct
a robot, using Lego Mindstorm for schools kits, which would perform various tasks.
The groups were introduced to a tool known as a flowchart. They used these
flowcharts to map the programming instructions they would give the robot to
complete the given task. This allowed them to off-load some of the cognitive work
to the flowchart and then through its use, they were able to solve harder problems
This learning theory supports the very skills needed by the 21st century.

APPENDIX A
01 March 2017
Greetings of Peace!
In line with this, I would like to request from your office to allow me to conduct a comprehensive
survey and interview in 12 public and private secondary high schools in the six districts of Quezon
City that offers Military Orientation of the Citizenship Advancement Training (CAT) Program.
If approval is granted, student participants will complete the survey in a classroom during their
CAT time on the school site. The survey process should take no longer than 20 minutes. The
Commandants will complete the survey and interview after the student participants are done. The
survey results will be pooled for the dissertation project and individual results of this study will
remain absolutely confidential and anonymous. Should this study be published, only pooled results
will be documented. No costs will be incurred by either school or the individual participants.
Respectfully yours,
