Abstract

The immature knowledge of the students about what smartphones can offer them might lead them to an unknown world. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of cellular phones on the study habits of the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSInfoTech) college students of Palompon Institute of Technology (PIT), Palompon, Leyte. The research methodology used in the study was descriptive correlation. 61 students were given access to an online questionnaire to conduct the research. The questionnaires gathered data on the students' general characteristics, gender, preferred mobile application for studying, phone usage habits, average amount of time spent studying, length of study sessions, and degree of study habit. The findings indicated a strong correlation between students' cell phone use and their study habits, which was indicative of good study habits. The findings showed that students frequently utilized their phones for communication, leisure, amusement, and academic purposes. The researcher hypothesized that a mobile phone would provide them with the information they required, and most students concurred that cellular phones would not interfere with their ability to study. Rather, smartphones are progressively evolving into an intriguing educational tool that helps students study more. When used, it guarantees that students can connect digitally, access course materials, and use online learning environments.
