 The table above shows the data regarding the positive effect of mobile phone on the
learning achievements of SHS students. It has the grand mean of 3.4 and the descriptive
equivalents of moderately agree which conventionally means that most of the
respondents agree on the positive effect of mobile phone in the learning achievements,
it can be perceived that there are four (4) indicators which are moderately agree, such
as in the statement, I can easily contact the teachers for study purposes” it has the mean
of 3.3.
 Also, there is only one indicator which shows that Senior High Schools Students agree,
and it could be seen in the statements” I can easily contact classmates to get help in
studies” at has the mean of 3.8.
 Furthermore, on overall result, the grand mean 3.4 indicates that respondents agree on
positive effect of mobile phone in learning achievements.
 According to Arshi (1986), mobile phone is becoming more and more important in
people’s daily life, on the other hand, phones bring positive and negative effects.
People these days never left their phones and somehow consider it as part of their body.
Phone does a good job on making our life more easily, but there are more negative than
positive effects.
