CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

A technology is being on of the important element in our life today. We

can see the changes of technologies from time to time. The change of

technology is directly proportional to the time. We can see many

evolutions of the technologies had been done.In 90s we are usingManual Typewriter Machine, while in Millennium Century our world

have made improvement in order to produce Computer, Laptop,

Netbook and etcetera. Now, in the second century in Millennium era,

the boom of technologies evolution happens by producing the modern

gadget and application like iPad, iPod, iPhone, CGI technology, GPSand

many more.

The evolution of the technology has strong correlation to the

student studies. This is because students are really needed in

technologies to gain and find additional information for their studies.

Besides, teaching and learning process in our country, Malaysia also

require the using of technologies.


3/33

So, we are from Tamhidi Student (foundation) in Islamic Science

University of Malaysia do a research about Correlation of Using

Technology and Student Studies. We are believe that using technology

have strong correlation to the student studies.

1.2 Hypothesis

We had made 2 hypothesis based on the research:

i. We expected the uses of technologies are affecting students

studies, based on the academic performance.

ii. The male students who are most influenced technologies in

studies

1.3 Objectives of Research

The purposes of this study are consists of some objectives:

To fulfill the English coursework requirement.

To experience a skills as a foundation in thesis writing for future

studies.

To motivate critical thinking and teamwork skills.

To study the correlation between technologies and studies among

Tamhidians.

To determine how close the technologies affected studies of

Tamhidians.

1.4 Problem Statements

The study seeks to answer the following research questions:

Q1- What is the importance of using technology on student studies?

Q2- Is the technology very helpful in academic achievements?

Q3-How the widely use of hand phone benefit the student in study?

1.5 Assumptions

In the route of carrying out the research, a few assumptions have been

made.

i. The uses of technologies are essential in students studies.

ii. Technology is very useful nowadays for the student studies.

iii. Different students have their own purpose of using technology.

1.6 Scope and Limitation

We are chosen the students of Tamhidi programmers in Islamic Science

University of Malaysia, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan as our respondents. There are

10 Tamhidi students were chosen randomly from five difference Tamhidi

courses which make it all 50 students. The five different courses are:

i. Tamhidi Medicine

ii. Tamhidi Dentistry

iii. Tamhidi Science and Technology

iv. Tamhidi Accounting and Muamalat

v. Tamhidi Syariah and Law

1.7 Significance of Studies

academic performance of recent batch and the following.

CHAPTER TWO:

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Introduction

Literature review is a section which includes some of the

previous researches that were related or similarly to the research.

It discusses published information on a specific subject area, and

sometimes information in a particular area within a certain time


6/33

period. Hence, for this chapter some summaries from the related

research on technologies and studies were presented.

This section basically aimed to learn how previous

researches had defined about the concepts, information, and also

the advantages or disadvantages. It also provides some proved

analysis that shows the strength or weakness of the research.

In this research, some related reviews from previous researches

were presented in order to conduct this research appropriately.

2.2 TECHNOLOGY

Swan and Mitrani (1993) state that, computers can change the nature

of teaching and learning at its most basic level, we need to ensure that we

are using our current knowledge about the application of technology in

education as a basis for proceeding in the future.

According to Johnson, (1996) technology has advanced rapidly over the

last few years and there have been literally hundreds of published studies

investigating its educational effect. Although there might not yet be a

definitive conclusion since it is becoming apparent that the type of learning

that technology best enhances is difficult to quantify


7/33

O'Donnell, (1996) said," we can make some good surmises about

technologies that are coming to help us further, but even if we have only the

PC and the Internet, we have enough to revolutionize education. We can

create teaching tools interactive enough to let students seek them out and

work with them at their own pace."

Duke University (2005) reported that the use of iPods heightened

student motivation in academic conversations, assignments, study, and lab

participation. Also, classes using iPod technology attracted overwhelming

enrollments, whereas classes that did not use iPods could hardly find enough

students to have viable classes.

Based on studies compiled by Kulik (1994) and Na (2010), the inclusionof technologically enhanced teaching created quicker learning and

assimilation of information, higher motivation and optimism, and increased

media literacy as well as comfort with technology.

2.2 STUDY

According to Riel (1993) study is a broad, deep, and creative

understanding of community, culture, economics and international politics,

past and present, and acquires the social skills to work across differences

and distances.

Dwyer, (1994) defined study is a tools for acquiring information and for

thinking and expression. These same experiences provide the skills that will

enable students to live productive lives in the global, digital, information-

based future they all face.


8/33

In addition, Alavi, (1994) said that "individuals need to learn at higher

rates of effectiveness and efficiency than ever before because of rapidly

growing bodies of relevant information and the escalation of knowledge and

skill requirements for most jobs."

Jenkins, (2009) mentioned that the process of study is student acted

upon their own environment to accomplish tasks, and create, grew

intellectually with a heightened sense of success and motivation.

Odera, (2010) in his report state that, students tended to flourish when

education utilized the processes of their own thinking rather than simply

focusing on the content of a subject.

2.3SUMMARY

Based on the literatures, we can conclude that technologies play an

important role in the developing country. The existence of technology will be

more advance in the next decade. This development of technologies can

produced more successful students in this world.

Related to studies, some researchers defined that studies can have

changed in this revolutionary age. The environments affected the process of

gathering information and knowledge. Most of the researches were closely

linked to educational technology oriented.

CHAPTER 3

METHODOLOGY


9/33

3.1 Introduction

This research was conducted to determine whether technologies play a

significant role in studies among Tamhidians. In order to answer this

research objective, the researches need to obtain the view from students

among Tamhidi. Specifically, a total of 50 respondents from 5 different

Tamhidi courses were randomly selected. To accomplish the goal, this

chapter need to discuss the design of the research, the participants,

research procedure and instrument, and lastly the analysis of data obtained.

3.2 Research Design

This research used the descriptive method, basically to gather information

about an accurate profile of the people, events or situations. With this

research type, first hand data from the respondents were obtained so as to

create such rational conclusions and recommendations for the study. For this

research, the data were derived form the answers the participants gave

during the survey process. With the use of the survey questionnaire, this

study took on the descriptive quantitative approach of research. Quantitative

approach is useful as it especially when a study needs to measure

relationships between variables. Variables, both dependent and

independent, that are needed in the study are clearly and precisely specified

in a quantitative study. For this research, the variables are technologies and

studies. Thus, the processes of obtaining information are more objective

3.3 Participants


10/33

In order to determine whether the technologies are related to studies, 50

students were asked to participate as respondents. They were sample from a

group of 462 students which are the students of Tamhidi programme in

Islamic Science University of Malaysia, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. The group of

students consisted of 10 students from 5 selected fields of Tamhidi courses

that are:

i. Tamhidi Science and Technology

ii. Tamhidi Dentistry

iii. Tamhidi Medicine

iv. Tamhidi Syariah and Law

v. Tamhidi Accounting and Muamalat

These 50 students were Muslim, Malay, aged 19, and currently staying at

Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. They were able to attain good CGPS pointer in their

first final semester examination. From the CGPS obtained, they were

permitted to continue their studies in second semester.

Researcher had chosen the students from different courses and gender

because these verities of people were believed to have different way of

thinking.

3.4 Research Instrument

The research basically used descriptive quantitative type. Hence, for the

purpose of data presentation a specific research instruments was used.

3.4.1 A questionnaire on The Correlation between Technologies

and Studies

The survey questionnaire was used as the main data-gathering instrument

for this study. This instrument was selected because it enabled the

respondents to answer the survey easily. In addition, this research instrument

allowed the researchers to carry out the statistics for data interpretation. The


11/33

data then can be used to scrutinize the relationship between the data

collected.

The questionnaire was divided into three sections. The first section required

the respondents personal information.

Section A

1. Gender: Male Female

2. COURSE: TAMHIDI SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

MEDICINE

ACCOUNTING

SYARIAH & LAW

DENTISTRY

3. CGPA result for 3.50-4.00

The second section is the survey proper. It explored the respondents

appliances of technologies on studies. The questionnaire proper section also

contains questions that identify the advantages and disadvantages of using

technologies in studies. Example of survey proper section:

Section B

1. When were you introduced with technology for your study?

Primary school Secondary school University

2. Do you think that the use of technologies can improve your academic

performance?

Yes No


12/33

3. Solving a mathematical equation is so much easier with calculator.

Agree Disagree

4. Is there any gadget that helps your studies in the classroom?

Yes No

The third section is an open-ended question. This section allowed the

respondents to give their opinion or assumption on educational technologies.

1. Using technologies in studies is beneficial to student. Do you agree? Give

your own opinion.

____________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________

The respondents were guided before answering the questionnaire. They were

informed about several sections in this questionnaire. Then, the respondents

can answer the Section A and Section B questions by putting a tick on the

appropriate box. Afterwards, the respondents can answer the last section

(Section C) by writing their own opinions on the space given.

The respondents were assisted in answering all sections in the questionnaire.All the questionnaires later were collected after the respondents had

completed answer the question.

3.4.2 An observation was carried out at the students residents

Kolej Kediaman Nilam Court (KKNC)

The researchers observed randomly the activities done by Tamhidi students

each time. The rationale of using the observation as the method of

investigation is because it is the basic overview for how the Tamhidian use

technologies in their studies. From the researchers observation, the

questionnaire was constructed based on the students activities.


13/33

3.5 RESEARCH LOCATIONS

Several locations were as our research location.

3.6 Research Procedure

Firstly, the researchers get the permission from Madam Azlina binti

Mohamed Nor as supervisor to do a research on Tamhidians students. Then,

we had a discussion and decided on a few topics. We listed down a lot of

topics. After we made some research, we suggested on taking the topic of

The Correlation between Technologies and Studies.

Later, we constructed a draft for the research instrument. After we had

specified the participants, we made several questions that related to the

technologies and Tamhidians studies.

Next, we did a research from books, articles, journals, and previous

research with the guidance from our supervisor, Madam Azlina. The related

data and information that contributed to our research were obtained. After

that, we had constructed the questionnaire before checked by the supervisor

to correct the grammar and to add some extra information needed. Finally,

we proceed to the core of the research, distribution of the questionnaire.

From the survey, we had gathered the data and related information for

our research. All the specific data that had been tabulated before presented

in graph form. Hence, the data were analyzed.

under Chapter 4, analysis of data.

CHAPTER 4

DATA ANALYSIS


16/33

4.1 INTRODUCTION

In this chapter, we have analyzed about how the technologies affects

students studies. All data were gathered by the questionnaire that had

been distributed to 50 Tamhidi students from 5 different courses. After allquestionnaires were answered, analysis was carried out and data were

obtained.

To achieve the objectives this analysis was specifically done to find the

correlation between technologies and studies, whether the use of

technologies affect students studies. Other than that, this analysis had been

done to determine which genders were influenced the most in using

technologies during studies.

Therefore, the analysis has to be done by taking specific information

from the questionnaire. All data than had to be tabulated before presented in

this chapter.

none from female.

In conclusion, many female got more than 2.50 and above for theirpointer. It shows the gender factor also related to someones achievement.

Most preferable gadgets for purpose of studies

The graph above show the choices of Tamhidians student with different

CGPA, in case what is the most important and the most preferred gadget

chose by them.

The trend indicates that the highest frequency of gadget that most students

preferred to have is laptop, while the item that the least students preferred

is Walkman.

Based on the graph given above, students are divided based on their

pointers which are 3.50-4.00, 3.00-3.49, 2.50-2.99, 2.00-2.49 and also below2.00. For those who got 3.50-4.00 pointer, there are eight of them prefer to

buy hand phone, two of them prefer MP3, one of them chose Walkman, and

also five of them prefer to have laptop than others. Besides, among the

students who got 3.00-3.49 pointer, majority of them, which is 17 students,

preferred laptop. Then, followed by seven of them preferred to buy MP3, and

four students chose hand phones. However, none of them like to buy

Walkman. For students who got 2.50-2.99, seven of them chose to have

hand phones, and three of them chose MP3. Only one of them preferred to

own a Walkman, and seven others preferred to have laptop. However, for

students who got below 2.00, only a student preferred to purchase hand

phone and laptop respectively. Only two of them chose MP3. Same goes to

2.00-2.49 pointers student, none of them chose to buy Walkman.


19/33

Roughly how many hours do you spend on your hand phone in

a day?

The graph above shows how much time did the Tamhidians spent their time

in using their hand phones. The trend indicates that the highest frequency is

more than 5 hours.

Based on the graph given above; students are divided based on their

pointers which are 3.50-4.00, 3.00-3.49, 2.50-2.99, 2.00-2.49 and also below

2.00. For those who got 3.50-4.00 pointers, there are three students spent

less than 1 hour, four students spent 1-2 hours, one student spent 1 hour

and three of them spent more than 5 hours. Next is the student who got

3.00-3.49 pointer, majority of them, which is eight, spent more than 5 hours

on hand phone. Then, it was followed by six students spent 1-2 hours, and

followed then by those who spent less than 1 hour on hand phone, which are

five. Besides, among the students who got 2.50-2.99 pointer, the frequency

of students is two respectively for duration less than 1 hour and 1-2 hours.

Then, four of them spent 2-4 hours and the rest, which is three, spent morethan 5 hours. For students who got 2.00 2.49 pointer, two of them spending

their time more than 5 hours on their hand phone. Then, there are two

students spent their time less than 1 hour and also 2-4 hours. However, none

of them spent about 1-2 hours. Lastly, for the students who got below than

2.00 pointers, two of them spent less than 1 hour and one of them spent 1-2

hours of their time on using hand phone. Meanwhile, none of them were

spending their time on 2-4 hours or more than 5 hours.

4.2 The function of technologies in studies

The main function of computers


20/33

The graph shows the number of students prefer to do with computer

within Tamhidi students compared to their performance in study.

The trend indicates the highest number of student prefer watching movie

than another. The total up is 29 of students from all Tamhidians. Compare to

their performance in study, most popular student whose 3.00-3.49 pointer

utilizing the computer in different way.

The number of student using computer for study is 20 people. Most

common use it, student whose 3.00-3.49. The use for playing game as 28

and the most common use it same as for studying. On the other hand, the

use for searching new information is 27 students, most popular utilize it is

2.50-2.99. The use for listening while using computer is 20 persons and graft

shown 3.00-3.49 student as the major. For watching movies, 3.00-3.49

students is the common popular prevalent with 29 students and for other,

the graft shown slightly steady.

In conclusion, the graph shows different way among Tamhidian student

prefers utilizing their computer compared to their result.

The necessity of listening to music while studying

The graph shows necessary of music compared to their performance among

tamhidian students of USIM.

The trend indicates the slightly different between answer YES and NO

among student by necessary music in study and the total up who answer

YES is 23 than NO, 27.


21/33

The most number of students according CGPA give answer YES is 3.50-

4.00 which is 9 students who prefer choose YES as the answer and the

lowest number of student who answer YES is 2.00-2.49 and below 2.00 at

same rate. In spite of that, students give answer NO also most popular to

student rate at 3.50-4.00. In contrast, graph shown also indicated below 2.00

CGPA students as the lowest.

In conclusion, there is clear correlation between the answer of student with

their performance in study. The uses of music in study give stronger impact

on their study.

1.3The Correlation of Technologies with Students

Studies Based On Gender.


22/33

The graph above shows the comparison of using

technologies between male and female.38 respondent agree that

handphone is the most gadget used in their studies to communicate

each other.20 from male and 18 from female. Laptop also is one of the

popular gadgets in their studies where 16 male and 19 male choose

this gadget for their studies. Next, pendrive also popular among

respondent where 12 male and 10 female use this gadget in their

studies.

From this graph, it also shows that MP3 player also being

use in the students studies.7 male choose it while 2 from female.


23/33

Lastly, the use of iPad in studies is the lowest rate where only 1 male

choose it for his study. In conclusion, the using of technology definitely

has correlation to the student studies.

From the bar chart shown above, we can see the functions of mobile

phone used in studies among male and female Tamhidians.

By making male and female students as comparison, we can notice

that less than 10 students use mobile phone as calculator, mobile notepad

and to surf the internet. According to the result obtained, communication is

the main function of using mobile phone in studies. Almost half percentage

of students regarding to their gender choosing communication is the main

function.

Referring on the usages, male students prefer to use the mobile

phone as compact dictionary rather than female students, shows less than

half number of male students. Meanwhile, female students do not show any

big differences in other remain functions.

Laptop Is A Must For Students Nowadays. Do You

Agree?

The graph above shows the opinions from male and female Tamhidians

regarding to the necessity of laptop in their studies.

It is noticeable that, 52% of students disagree with the necessity of the

laptop. In contra with other 48% students that have the same agreements.


24/33

Besides, numbers of female students disagree greater than the agree side by

almost 12% from the number of female students. While, majority of male

students agreed with yes that laptop is the must for student nowadays.

In conclusion, male students feel that laptop is a necessity in studiesnowadays. From that, we can observed that male are better adapted to this

gadget.

Most preferable gadgets in studies (male and emale)

The graph above show the choices of male and female of Tamhidians

students, in case what is the most important and the most preferred gadget

chose by them.

The graph indicates that the most items preferred by male and female

students of Tamhidians laptop. On the other hand, the least item chose by

them is Walkman.

There are 11 male student preferred to choose hand phone compared to

female students which are 10 of them. For MP3, there are five male students

and ten female students chose it. Meanwhile, only two of male students

preferred to buy Walkman. However, none of female students wanted to buy

Walkman. Next is laptop which is the most chosen item by students to have,

which are 18 male and 15 female.


25/33

1.4Summary

Based on the charts shown, three types of data interpreting can be

concluded:

The relationship between technologies and studies based on academic

performances.Showed that most the students who achieved good CGPS pointers had

used various type of gadgets in their studies.

The function of technologies in studies

Most of the gadgets were used to help their studies.

The correlation of technologies with students studies based on gender.

There is a difference in interest and the use of technologies regarding

to the gender.


26/33

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION

Based on the research and survey that we had done, we have made the

conclusion that. In related to the usage, there are correlation exists.

1.1Conclusion

From the result, we have come up with a conclusion that the technologies

affect students studies. Several aspects of research proved that the result

shows the correlation .Most of students who obtained good pointers use

gadgets to help their studies. In addition, different in ganders show that the

male is more advanced in the use technologies.

Regarding to these result, we can conclude that the hypothesis

completely act in accordance with the analysed data and previous

researches. Hence, the hypothesis is accepted.

1.2Recommendation

According to the research, most of the Tamhidians are exposing to the

technology today. Most of them have their own laptop which is used to do

any assignments that given by their lecturers. This analysis found significant

mean effect sizes in favors of laptops in relation to the quantity as well as

the quality of the writing. From the research, we found that the writing

process is more collaborative, iterative and social in computer classrooms as


27/33

compared to paper-and-pencil environments, and they concluded that pupils

who use laptops when learning to write are not only more engaged and

motivated in their writing but also produce written work that is of greater

length and higher quality.

Besides that, researchers found that internet improved motivations,

enhanced learning and teaching, improved communication and access to

information, and improved efficiency and feelings of independence amongst

Tamhidians. Lecturers perceived internet to be useful for streamlining

current teaching procedures, gaining access to new professional

opportunities and new exciting teaching opportunities. Discussions about

learning are frequently linked to formal education systems. However, thisreport focuses on teenagers and Tamhidi Students use of internet in informal

learning settings. It shows that some of the public anxieties about teenagers

and internet are misplaced, and concludes that parents need accessible

research to enable them to make informed decisions about teenager's

learning and playing with internet at home.
