Figure 1. Conceptual Framework of the Study

The system approach (Input- Process- Output system) was used in

describing the conceptual framework of the study. As shown in Figure 2,
the input consists the good and bad effects of mobile phones to the
academic performance of the students and reasons why they use mobile.
Where in the input consists the following: Good and bad effects of
mobile phones and Reasons students use mobile phones and on the other
side, the process being used is through sample questionnaires, surveys
and observation. This table shows how we research, survey, and solve
our thesis statement.

Figure 2. Theoretical Framework of the Study

 A theory is a set of interrelated concepts, definitions, and
propositions that explains or predicts events or situations by specifying
relations among variables. Theory is heuristic for it stimulates and
guides further development for knowledge.
The Theory of Mobile Learning (Sharples, Taylor, & Vavoula,
2005) is essential when thinking of the role of mobility and
communication in learning environments. This theory states the possible
advantage and disadvantage of using mobile phones.
Escape Theory (Faber R. J., O’Guinn T. C) has been used to
explain the effects of mobile phone usage. Mobile phones help the
affected individual escape negative events or feelings. Mobile phones
may be used to avoid larger, more pressing problems. A constant focus
on the “here and now” helps the cell-phone user avoid reflecting on
issues that are disconcerting.
Constructivist Theories propose that “knowledge is being actively
constructed by the individual and knowing is an adaptive process, which
organizes the individual’s experiential world”. Students bring their own
schema (past experiences) into their academics and use it to enhance
their learning by gaining more knowledge and build upon their old.
Constructivist learning theory enables the mobile technology to focus on
the student’s ability to be self -directed and draw conclusions
(Karagiorgi & Symeou 2005). The students need to have the opportunity
to experiment and utilize previous experiences to build new
understandings of the educational material.
