Conclusion:
The purpose of this chapter is to promote tablet use and investigate how the
utilization of tablets affects the teaching and learning processes in Pansol Integrated
National High School. The goals of differentiated instruction are to determine the
advantages and disadvantages of the use of tablets in classroom and to explore Grade 12
students' attitudes and views about the utilization of tablets in PINHS.
The tablets are great help on Grade 12 students of PINHS, for it helps them to
easily access the things that they have to provide on each subject areas. With the help of
tablets, students realized that other subjects would be more enjoyable and easier to
understand and that they would solve problems like bringing books. Also, they would do
better research on a subject. While providing tablets to Grade 12 students of PINHS, it can
offer numerous benefits such as access to educational resources, improved interactivity
and the development of digital skills. A thoughtful and comprehensive approach that
consider those factors can maximize the effectiveness of integrating tablets in the
education system and provide students with valuable learning opportunities.
Another consideration is the potential distraction and influence that tablets can bring.
With access to a wide range of apps and entertainment platforms, students may be
tempted to deviate from educational purposes and engage non-productive activities
during class time. The assessment also relies heavily on literature review that illustrates
the academic gains found when devices were introduced to classroom. The literature
reviews explains the potential change in student motivation and the changes in the
classroom atmosphere. Proper guidelines and monitoring mechanisms should be in place
to address this issues.
