Abstract
The ubiquity of electronic devices together with its potential to bridge classroom learning to real-world has added a new angle to contextualizing mathematics learning. The study aimed to determine the mathematical performance of Grade 5 learners using electronic gadgets.
In conducting this study, a descriptive study method was used to collect the data and information needed to test the hypothesis and to answer questions concerning the ?electronic gadgets to the mathematical performance of Grade 5 learners.? The instrument used was questionnaire in the form of checklist. The respondents of the study composed of one hundred (100) respondents. Statistical treatment utilized in this study consisted of weighted mean, standard deviation, and frequency.
This study found that there is an equal distribution of respondents with respect to their genders. It was also seen that the respondents of the study are almost approaching their teens. Also, it can be inferred that the majority of the students have a more stable internet connection and accessible gadgets.
This study found that the level of the electronic gadgets with regards to usability, functionality, and ease of use of electronic gadgets was very high among the students. The level of mathematical performance of grade 5 learners using electronic gadgets from Quarter 1 to Quarter 3 was also found very satisfactory.
The study concluded that there was no significant effect observed from the profile of the students to their performance. Therefore, the null hypothesis stated is true. In this case students? profile doesn?t affect their mathematical performance because of the device and internet availability nowadays.
Using electronic gadgets to students? mathematical performance was no significant effect. Moreover, it is suggested that even though there is no significance between the variables, using gadgets in their math class were more likely to achieve higher mathematical performance as they enjoy using those in their learning process, it also motivates them because they can explore more and do more using different kinds of application in those gadgets. Also, students find electronic gadgets more convenient and easier to use.
