ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to thank Ms. Aleli Dorado and Ms. Reynancia Mutya for giving us an
opportunity to do this kind of study. We would also like to thank them for helping and guiding us
to finish our research, and thank you for teaching us the lesson and technique on how we can do
our research paper. We would also like to thank the teachers of FEU Diliman Elementary to
allow us to conduct survey to be able to complete and finished our task. We would also like to
thank Ms. Misty Kate De La Trinidad for giving us an information and technique based on her

Executive Summary
This paper titled Using Computer with Internet as an Educational Reference Become more
Smarter is a study done by Marketing students particularly MKT12 in partial fulfillment of the
requirements by our professor Ms. Aleli Dorado.
The researchers focused on gathering information whether the students uses computer
with the Internet in effective and efficient way and whether students become more smarter and
sociable in accessing computer with the Internet. Effective and efficient in a way that the
students will be able to determine their limits and be aware of the consequences that might affect
their studies if they will not discipline themselves in using with the Internet. Access with the
Internet gives us excellent information that people would want to know and discover. In addition,
the effect to us could be advantages and disadvantages if we do not use it effectively.

Children today can use modern technology to help them with their studies. Computers
have been specifically useful, for they allow us to manipulate items such as text in Microsoft
Word and using search engines in doing home works, reports and projects to meet the needs of
individual students.
The main objective of this research is to determine the pros and cons of using computer
technology of FEU- Diliman Grade 6 students.
The effects regarding the use of computer technology of FEU-Diliman students towards
their study motivated the researchers to pursue in resolving the cons by developing a strategy
that will help the students enhance their knowledge in using computer technology.
Computer has a big advantages and disadvantages for all of us especially to students. It is
used to perform different tasks quickly and easily. It is also used as a great educational tool.
Students can gather all sort of information via internet. There are different websites like
Wikipedia to provide free resources for students regarding their subjects. In addition, students
should be aware in using these guide or resources to avoid serious offenses.
The researchers also consider the parents in the study to determine if they are aware to
their children on how they used the computer efficiently and effectively. Whether their children
used computer as their educational tool or used it for playing different addictive games, parents
should be mindful to their children on what they are doing for them to guide.
In this research, the parents will be able to determine whether the use of computer
technology helps their children become smarter or could distract their studies.

Based on the results of this study, it was indicated that all of the grade school students of
FEU Diliman are capable in using computer with internet access as a reference to their school
works. However, some of the students are favorable to use other references like books in the
library than using the computer because according to them they were attracted to play computer
games. In addition, there was a grade school student who has a limited time to use the computer
because his parents wanted him to use computer efficiently. Regarding the case, the researchers
proved that the parents were aware and conscious on how their child use the computer in
effective and efficient way.

study. The respondents were chosen because of ideas and experiences in using the Internet as an
educational reference.
Significance of the Study
The researchers believe that the research study will advance and will lead the awareness of
the guardians of the students particularly in the field of using the Internet as their educational
reference. . The information gathered in this study will be useful to students, parents or guardians,
teachers and future researchers for the advancement of the educational activities. This study will also
contribute to basic information and will serve as a guide to produce valid and best results.
Students. With this study, students will be aware on the pros and cons on using the Internet.
This study will also help the student to limit the use of the Internet and use it in effective and
efficient way.
Parents. This study will help the parents to determine if their children become smarter when
their students use the Internet as an educational reference. This study will also help the parents to

Review of Related Literature
This chapter consolidated information from various books, journals and sites which were
found relevant to the study at hand to determine the effects of using computer technology
towards the studies of children.
Reasons for Technology Use
According to Peck & Dorricott's summary (1994)
Reasons include technology's potential to assist with educational goals such as:
1. Individualization
2. Increasing proficiency at accessing, evaluating, and communicating information.
3. Increasing quantity and quality of students thinking and writing.
4. Improving students ability to solve complex problems but which appears to develop in
a more focused manner when productivity tools are available.
5. Nurturing artistic expression.
6. Increasing global awareness.
7. Creating opportunities for students to do meaningful work.
8. Providing access to high-level and high-interest course.
9. Making students feel comfortable with the tools of the Information Age.
10. Increasing the productivity and efficiency of schools.
access information via internet. Programs that were installed in computers such as Microsoft
Word help students to easily type and also print out hard copies of their works. It also saves time
than copying information on a paper using a pen. Revising and editing their work are made
possible with computer technology.
Teachers toward Computer Technology
According to Kopp & Ferguson, (1996) teachers need a strong system of professional
development and ongoing support to their students. Nowadays, most of the students were
exposed on using computers for educational purposes. Teachers should guide and give advises to
their students on how to use computer technology advances in effective and efficient way.
With a view to develop an insight into the problem, the researcher studied the related
literature available in the field of the problem. It helped in framing out the design of the research.

Research Methodology
10
Research Design
The research method used in conducting this study was descriptive method approach wherein the
study focused to find out if the children become smarter when they use computer towards their
studies. The researchers conducted a survey if the students prefer using computer as their
educational tool or not. Researchers conducted a quantitative research to determine the number
of students at FEU Diliman who agreed that computer technology became a big advantage as an
educational tool toward their studies. The researchers conducted the study to the twenty students
of FEU Diliman who will answer the entire question in our survey questionnaire. Researchers
used survey method to easily gather information needed in the research paper.
Type of Research
The researchers use Quantitative Research to collect and interpret all the data that we need in our
research paper. This helped us easily gather opinion from our respondents about the benefits that
they gain from using computers and to understand if students are truly becoming smarter when
they use computers for educational purposes.
Research Instruments
The researcher used survey questionnaires to formulate simple, direct and effective conclusion in
our study.
Sampling Design
The study covered on twenty (20) FEU Diliman students from Grade 4 to Grade 6 as well as
their parents as the target population as primary source of information and data needed for the
success of the study. The respondents were chosen because of ideas and experiences in using the
Internet as an educational reference.
