Abstract :
The study was conducted to fully understand the phenomenon of the perceived non-engaging behaviors during the conduct of laboratory activities among Bachelor of Science in Information Technology students of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines - Jasaan Campus. The study aimed to identify the main trigger of such behaviors. Mixed methods were utilized in order to understand the problem. Survey questionnaires were distributed to the respondents and interviews were facilitated by the FGD to generate qualitative data. An observation log was used to record observed behavior. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed that students were very dependent on the Internet for doing their assignments and other academic requirements. Students are more engaged in the computer laboratory if they have full access to the Internet. Students strongly agree that the performance of a wired computer laboratory provides better network connectivity than the wireless computer laboratory including better access to the Internet.
