Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
Technology integration nowadays has gone through innovations and transformed our societies that has totally changed the way people think, work and live (Grabe, 2007). Information technologies and www, has been widely used not only as a source of information, but also as a learning resource. In the study of teaching and learning, the use of website as a learning resource is known as web-based resources. Web-based resources are internet sites that provide these types of materials for students: dictionaries, tutorials, animations, games, practice quizzes, and labeling exercises (Mugan, 2008).
Education doesn’t stop toward the finish of the school day. Students can access teachers, resources, and assignments via the web whenever and wherever they have an internet connection. For students who need to spend more time practicing a concept,
online exercises and curriculum can also help them work at their own pace and still keep up with their peers.
The 21st century witnessed a shift in educational paradigm, which comes from widespread use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that has provided access to rich and innovative teaching and learning resources (Zawacki-Richter, O., Bozkurt, Alturki, & & Aldraiweesh, 2018; Hsu, 2017). The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) enables many benefits and advances regarding all components of the educational process and play increasingly a fundamental role to support teaching and learning (Cardoso, 2016). Information technology such as computer and internet has dramatically increased the ways of teaching and learning (Su, B., Bonk, Magjuka, & Liu, X., & Lee, 2005). Internet and www (World Wide Web) have overshadowed every aspect of our life but education and research are of prime importance (Ahmad & Muneebulla, 2017). It is a time of great possibility and progress for the use of technology to support learning.
A technology-based teaching and learning offers various interesting ways which includes educational videos, stimulation, storage of data, the usage of databases, mind- mapping, guided discovery, brainstorming, music, World Wide Web (www) that will make the learning process more fulfilling and meaningful (Finger & Trinidad, 2002). Videos or live streaming content can offer an alternate approach to a thought and better understanding of a concept or subject. These videos can allow an interesting and interactive approach to learning that might be more easily digested.
We are in an age where smart phones are the source of either information directly, or guidance when needed for our digitally-oriented young adult students at schools. This
transmitted live online, even though they are in different physical locations -- through webcams, microphones and chat software.
Majority of Generation Z kids have a higher preference for learning from YouTube and videos, compared with printed books (Genota, 2018). In a survey of people ages 14 to 23—the so-called Generation Z group—YouTube ranked the highest as a preferred learning tool. Fifty-nine percent picked YouTube as a learning preference, 57 percent chose in-person group activities, 47 percent picked learning apps or games, and 47 percent chose printed books. (Genota, 2018) Uploading eLearning content to YouTube makes it available throughout the YouTube network, which means that your learners can access it and view it on the go via their smartphones and tablets, devices used in mobile learning. (Pappas, 2015)
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aimed to answer the following questions:
- What is the extent of the use of online tutorials of the students in terms of: a. ) types of online tutorials, b. ) frequency of use of online tutorials.
- What are the effects to the students of using online tutorials in terms of: a. ) understanding Mathematics concepts, b. ) development of Mathematics skills.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
This study primarily focused on the Mathematics online tutorials that are readily available online. The senior high school students from selected schools in the Masbate City Division in the STEM strand are the chosen respondents since they have more Mathematics subjects compared to other strands.
The study will use an interview questionnaires and survey forms for the students’ profiling in their use of online tutorials. It will also use a qualitative and quantitative data analysis for the data gathered.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The results of the study may prove useful to the following; to wit:
Students. The study would benefit the students for they would be more acquainted with the available resources online that they can use to further improve their understanding of Mathematics concepts.
Teachers. The study would help the teachers improve their teaching and let the stuhe school administrators recommend its use to maximize students learning with the available materials online.
