Integration of Technology in the Teaching and Learning Process in Chemistry

The integration of technology in the teaching and learning process in chemistry was investigated in order to determine if the extent of using technology is related to the performance of the students in Chemistry. It also determined the positive and negative impact of technology to the teaching of the five chemistry teachers and to the learning of the 193 B.S. Medical Laboratory Science and 120 B.S. Nursing students of the Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas during the first semester of the school year 2019- 2020. Data were collected using the Likert scale instrument on the extent of using technology, achievement test on the performance of the students, and checklist on the impact of technology to the teaching and learning process in chemistry. To analyse the collected data, statistical tests like weighted mean, frequency, percentage, chi-square and t-test were used. It was found that there was a significant relationship between the extent of using technology and the performance of the students in chemistry. It was also found that although technology was used only sometimes in chemistry instruction, and there were some negative impacts of technology, still the students had a very good performance in chemistry.
