Abstract: BALILA, EDENGRACE De, Technology Exposure, Self-Competence, and Academic Performance of Grade Six Students in Parochial Schools in Upland Cavite SY 20132014. Master's Thesis. Master of Arts in Education major in Educational Management. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Dr. Ma. Agnes P. Nuestro. The study was conducted mainly to describe the relationship of technology exposure, self-competence, and academic performance of the grade six students in parochial schools in upland Cavite. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the personal characteristics of the participants in terms of age, sex, and socio-economic status (mother's occupation, father's occupation, and monthly family income); determine the available technological devices to the participants; determine the levels of technology exposure in terms of the following: (a) television watching (b) use of cellphones and (c)use of computers; determine the level of self-competence of the participants; determine the academic performance of the participants; find out if there is a significant difference between the following variables when participants are grouped according to personal characteristics: (a) technology exposure (b) level of self-competence (c)academic performance; find out if there is a significant relationship between the following variables: (a) technology exposure and level of self-competence (b)technology exposure and academic performance and (c) level of self-competence and academic performance. The study was conducted in eight parochial schools in upland Cavite. The participants of the study were 160 grade six students of eight parochial schools in Cavite during the school year 2013-2014. Stratified random sampling was used in selecting the participants of the study. This study used the descriptive correlational method research design. The statistical tools utilized were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney test statistics and Spearman rank correlation coefficient. The average age of the respondent is 11. In terms of sex, females are outnumbered by males by four percent. More than half of their mothers are working, and more than 80 percent of their fathers are working. There are about 50 percent of the participants who belong to low- and average-income classification. The most available technological device to the participants is television, followed by cellphones and computers. Television is the most frequently used media technology. Despite of the emergence and available technological devices, the participants are still slightly exposed to these advancements. Generally, the participants have high self-competence. Majority of the participants are good and very good in terms of academic performance. There was no significant difference in the academic performance when grouped according to age, mother's occupation, father's occupation and monthly family income. However, a significant difference in academic performance of male and female participants has been found. The null hypothesis of no significant difference in the technology exposure when grouped according to age, sex, mother's occupation, and father's occupation is being accepted. On the other hand, a significant difference was found between technology exposure when grouped according to participants' monthly family income. Generally, the level of self-competence of the participants is found insignificantly different when grouped according to age, sex, mother's occupation, father's occupation and monthly family income. There is no significant relationship between the overall technology exposure and level of self-competence. A significant relationship was found between the over-all technology exposure and academic performance, and level of self-competence and academic performance. The researcher recommends the same study to be conducted to high school students to see if technology exposure and self-competence are related to academic performance considering their age difference from grade school students. Also, this may be conducted to grade six students of public school and other sectarian schools to further validate the results.

The study was conducted mainly to describe the relationship of technology exposure, self-competence, and academic performance of the grade six students in parochial schools in upland Cavite. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the
personal characteristics of the participants in terms of age, sex, and socio-economic status (mother's occupation, father's occupation, and monthly family income); determine the available technological devices to the participants; determine the levels of technology exposure in terms of the following: (a) television watching (b) use of cellphones and (c)use of computers; determine the level of self-competence of the participants; determine
the academic performance of the participants; find out if there is a significant difference between the following variables when participants are grouped according to personal characteristics: (a) technology exposure (b) level of self-competence (c)academic performance; find out if there is a significant relationship between the following variables: (a) technology exposure and level of self-competence (b)technology exposure and academic performance and (c) level of self-competence and academic performance.
