Abstract
This study determined the level of mobile phone usage and factors affecting the level of academic performance of the Senior High Academic track students of ASIST S. Y. 2017-2018. Descriptive-correlational research methods were employed to determine the profile and level of mobile phone practice and the academic performance. Subsequently, the relationship of profile and level of mobile phone usage to the academic performance was examined. The result of the study showed that the respondents have an above average level of academic performance and a high level of mobile phone usage. It was also found out that mother’s occupation and frequency of mobile phone usage directly affects the student respondent’s level of academic performance brought about by the type of occupation of most mother parents and the high frequency of mobile phone usage of the respondents. While, other profile does not meddle to their level of academic performance. The use of mobile phone had great potential as a learning tool and it could positively be used for learning purposes in science
