Introduction
In today’s generation, people are greatly influenced by new technology. As the continuous
improvement of different digital platforms and devices increases, the people who used it also
increases and get a more accessible services that gives them a greatly satisfaction. Youth nowadays
uses digital platforms with their various reasons, some want to get the attention from the people
around them, some just want to share the moments of his/her life and some used these platforms
to voice out his/her freedom to say whatever he/she wants. Through, social media such as
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many more, anyone can now access to this kinds of digital
platforms and create an online profile that will represent their digital self. Digital self is a self-
representation that utilizes various digital platforms in order to communicate and introduce
yourself to others. In this study, the researchers would determine the perception of Pre-Service
Teachers regarding their view of digital dimension of self. The researchers will used Thematic
Analysis: Qualitative study in order to further understand the topic and deeply analyze the
Self-presentation refers to how people present themselves to others that controls the
impression of the audience on how they view him/her as a person. It happens when people shows
his/her behavior of making an image about him/herself to others, considering the people that will
perceive the self he/she is being represented. People self-present in various ways. But, usually
people self-present depends on what they say and the ways or dimensions they have shown.
In this generation of fast paced technological advancements and innovations, humans need
to cope up and adapt to these concepts. As a human in the modern world, presenting yourself in
the digital media platforms may vary from time to time. Upon saying that, these versions of
yourself that you present on the digital platform mirrors the digital self that you have. The way
you present yourself on your online profiles and accounts is one way of determining if one is
expressing his/her digital dimension of self. This does not only involves your own perspective of
your digital self, but also how it reflects and perceived by your audience. Furthermore, the
emergence of new technologies contributes to the construction of identities in digital space (Deg,
Dragana & Glodovic, 2018). According to Glodovic, et.al (2018), the most known influence of
technology is the changes in the design of the personal identity of the individual. It encompasses
the various components of the self through the structures of online platforms. In this manner, the
digital platforms such as social media, networking sites, search engines and gadgets like cell
phones, laptops, computers, etc. serves as the standard manifestation of representing the digital
self to others, considering the amount of usage of gadgets and platforms to update their social
media status or post an update about their day to day activity which is the same on how other
to present their digital self to other people. As stated by Inman (2010), the idea of self-presentation
through the use of digital platforms led them to be digital natives. In accordance to their study, he
described the digital natives as the people who are born in the digital age and grown up having the
digital technology at their fingertips, increasing their interest in order to present themselves
digitally. They are also the people who are observed to be more comfortable and confident in
using digital platforms in communication and interaction to other that centered into a technology-
centered world that possesses the advanced digital skills of a person. However, with regards to
education, teachers who have seen students that digitally active are not considered as digital natives
addressing the previous research of Lei (2009), students who utilizes the Web 2.0 tools as their
instrument of expressing themselves are found to be an opportunity to learn and use 21st century
Another study conducted by Bernarte, et.al (2016), stated that digital media considers to
be the most capable tool to communicate and interact with the people around them thus, their
escape to express their weakness to voice out their true selves. Social media became the platform
that helps to formulate their identity in the real world. However, most of the students nowadays
are able to change their online behavior depending on what they see in others. In many ways, it
has led to progressive modifications in the way individuals’ converse and share information that
technological competencies to be able to provide quality knowledge, skills, and attitudes to his/her
future students. As it is more convenient and accessible that allows youth to express themselves
more comfortably. Through different digital platforms such as social networking sites, it allows an
goves an individual the idea of possessing the “self”in them (Caffrey, 2017). However, the lack of
security and privacy of a person in the digital world is still the current problem in the digital world,
specifically the Cyber security including the "cyberbullying," "internet privacy" and "security”,
but having a discipline and limit towards your digital world can prevent this from happening.
This research would present data through thematic analysis based on the study of
interviews conducted from the Pre-Service Teachers in Philippine Normal University regarding
their view on their Digital Self. The study aims to thematically analyze the perspectives of Pre-
Service Teachers on the factors based from their perspectives on how they apply their Digital Self
in their everyday lives specifically answers different questions that the researchers would be able
New technologies are being increasingly perceived as fulfilling an important role in the
development and crafting of personalities in practice. It is important to note that the influence of
technologies on personality development and expression can be seen as both positive and negative
practice of storytelling that have become possible with the new, digital media. Research conducted
by Davison (2012) stated that the identity formed in social media is the same way in formulating
our identity in real world. Some people want to be notice in a certain way and they plan what they
will present to other to gain the desired impression of themselves. They will have specific rules
what they need to share. Individuals change their online behavior depending on what they see in
others. In this research it was also stated that some individuals consider only one digital platform.
If they are into Facebook they don't need to be in the twitter. The Effect of Facebook in self- esteem

The Objective of self-awareness theory approach the social networking site that human are
both subject and object. It claims that human are prone to self-evaluation based on the social norms
however when people often fall short of social standards when self-awareness is heightened,
positive affect and self-esteem typically decrease when people are exposed to objective self-
awareness response. However, Interesting is not for motivation for self presentation, but used this
to create new motives. Social networking sites provide access as a new object also it implies how
the modern technology forces was us to reconsider to understand psychological process on it. It is
also evident that technology and online communication is currently ubiquitous for youth,
particularly as a tool for socialization (Lenhart et al. 2010). In the current article, we endeavor to
illustrate the importance of friendship and social media in the lives of youth, particularly
preadolescents (the period of development between the ages of 10 and 12) and adolescents
(between the ages of 13 and 17), and the impact that these factors have on their emotional well-
being. During adolescence, friendships with age mates become more salient and increasingly
complex and are typically characterized by greater similarity to their friends and the importance
In this way, youth can receive feedback from others and integrate this feedback into their
self-identity (Valkenburg and Peter 2011). Valkenburg and Peter conducted a series of
meditational analyses to explore this relationship. In their first study (2007), they reported that the
friendship closeness and that a positive relation between the variables exists. Additionally,
preadolescence is a crucial time for personality development of the individual and is also a time
when youth begin to care for the needs of others as opposed to simply thinking of them.
With the advancement in technology, more people have been engaging with each other
digitally. It allows people new ways to show their selves and maintain social relationships. Within
our social media platforms, we have the right in identity construction and it allows an individual
to construct a version of the ‘self’ as deceptive as they want (Caffrey, 2017). The development of
new technologies and the acceleration of the pace of life significantly contributes to the creation
of identities in digital space. Digital space has opened up possibilities for changing the way of life
in all spheres, it seems that the most notable influence, both at the level of quality and quantity, is
particularly visible on the changes in the design of the personal identification of the individual.
(Deg, Dragana & Glodovic, 2018). Linares, Subrahmanyam, Cheng, Guan, 2013 stated that the
internet has become an essential tool for information seeking, education, interaction and
communication as well as entertainment. Youth in about each nation utilize web-based life to keep
up almost steady contact with their companions. In a few clicks, individuals can contact anyone at
any given time. Rising of digital technology influence Filipino to connect with their other family
The amount of information you put out on the Internet over social media, intended or not,
affect you in the real world. Based on PEP talk it shows that Filipinos not one to live without the
digital media in fact Filipino youth is the most inclined in social networking because they can
easily express their thoughts and opinions with them. Digital media has same positive effects on
the familial interpersonal relationship of the Filipino youth however it was found out that they
choose to confide their thoughts and feelings in various digital media platforms instead to their
Filipino Youth are active users of digital media specifically Social Networking Sites and
Smartphones with the reasons for staying connected to their family and friends, a source of
information and entertainment (Bristol., et al, 2016) Given the significance of both online life and
companionships to youth, this survey inspects the effect of web based life on the enthusiastic
encounters of youth. Web based life can have a positive effect upon depression, closeness, and
relationship support during youthfulness. (Wood, M.A, Bukowski 2016).Internet Paradox study
(Kraut et al., 1998) according to Heim et al (2007) he suggests that there are reductions in social
interaction. Yet, recent findings and a follow-up study of the the Internet Paradox study suggest
that the internet does not separate children; rather, it is a powerful communication tool that
connects children with others (Kraut et al., 2002) College students feel greater subjective well-
being when they present themselves positively on Facebook (Kim and Roselyn Lee 2011), and
present themselves as having better emotional well-being and greater positive affect on Facebook
than they do in their actual lives in order to enhance their self-presentation (Qiu et al. 2012).
James McWilliams's (2019) article examines in a very contemporary way the eternal
question of our human dichotomy--we exist alone within our own consciousness while constantly
seeking community with our fellow, similarly wired human beings. Although the digital age has
given us new ways to seek community and connectedness, its platforms have become shallow and
dehumanized. In the study of Keating, Anna Nussbaum (2010) stated that people live farther away
from one another and are increasingly connected to mobile devices, people seem to take pleasure
in creating blogs and profiles that allow loved ones to view a fit-for-public-consu¬mption version
of their lives. A survey study of Nicolaus, Paul (2018) revealed that digital self-harm is often quite
harmed and that seeking attention or a reaction was among the reasons participants gave for such
message sharing. Adolescence is a time when peers become particularly important, Selkie explains,
and posting self-critical content could be a way for teens to see whether others stand up for them
Whalen et. al (2016) applauded James McWilliams’ work about saving the “self” from the
mindless divertissement of the digital era. He said that the digital age allowed us to gain
connectivity and look for a community with the same interests and goals. Although it seems very
useful, he also said that the digital age makes things shallow and dehumanized. People are getting
“enslaved to a device” that makes them feel responsible to look at other people’s lives. According
to Couros and Hildebrandt (2016), as the digital world becomes enmeshed with our physical world,
identities become public by default, and this can have disastrous consequences for those whose
Further that, missteps and poor choices made online can result in public humiliation, job-
loss, and various forms of cyber vigilantism and cyber-shaming. Entire online communities have
sprung up with the sole purpose of finding and publicly shaming the perpetrators of various
misdeeds. The complexity of digital identity has striking ramifications for academics and scholars
as they venture increasingly into online spaces: while this complexity was often previously
impractical and disadvantageous as institutions, and society in general, become enmeshed with
The study discusses that in today’s world, one might argue that the internet is mandatory.
Technology, and the connectedness that it enables, has become a ubiquitous presence in our daily
lives, so much so that it is hard to escape even if one tries. As we have moved into the era of mobile
devices, location has become decentered as well, so that we are increasingly global beings and our
‘real world’ identity is often conceived of as fixed and unitary or as a coherent whole, whereas our
Teenagers and the younger generation are perceived to be "digital natives," it doesn't mean
that teenagers are savvy about privacy and security and know how they can be exposed in everyday
interaction with the internet.(Camacho, et al., 2012), it was stated that most of the students use
privacy settings and giving consideration with the content they share since their identity in social
media is closely related to their real identity. It was also stated that participant feel needed to
protect their personal life and choose who they will accept as friends in Facebook. Due to Digital
emergence in the digital world, everybody expects security and privacy. However, in the article
written by Felizi et. al, (2016), it is stated that internet has turned privacy into an outdated idea but
there are still people who challenge gender normativity as targets of revenge porn and bullying not
just online but also in offline wherein the advantage of the amount of data we leave as footprints
when we use the internet has been attack that is why Privacy is the power to choose who has access
to our personal information and in an online environment, it is deeply related to the choices of the
The study further discusses online violence and how sending of nudes labeled a person
from what have seen in his/her physical appearance. However, it is clearly argued that selfies can
be an opportunity to empower people beyond the mainstream and digital media that can be a way
to know the self, can result connectedness to other people and a way of representing the self in the
person's own terms. Everyone has digital rights such as right to privacy and freedom of expression
but this right has been abused. According to Jim & Chang (2019), it is a common belief that the
internet security and privacy of teens are points of vulnerability. There are various efforts in
schools and in other educational settings for teenagers to learn ways to protect themselves from
In the academic world, McAuley et.al, (2010), claimed that given the far-reaching
implications of digital culture, there are changes that affect the realm of education especially in
terms of learning. Since access to the internet provides an immense wealth of information; our
current age of the digital economy is ‘defined by the abundance of knowledge and participants as
opposed to scarcity’ (p. . In such culture, there is growing recognition that learning can be done
anywhere, at any time, and by anyone thanks to Web 2.0 tools such as blogs and social media,
anyone with access to the internet can contribute to the fount of global knowledge (Johnson,
Adams, and Haywood, 2011). In undergraduate courses a challenge exists to improve both
students' access and engagement. This has been countered with the use of various technologies to
best meet the needs of both professional practice preparation and students' need for improved
Albright (2017) story’s resulted to the findings that strong association between the Student
self-efficacy for maintaining discipline and self-efficacy for influencing students. Many educators
believe teachers are not being satisfactory prepared to use technology for instructions. The
disadvantage that were seen at the study is that Student teachers are lack of training for the
globalization.
Ventayen (2017) study focuses on role of social media in education for high school teachers,
specifically in education management major at both master and doctoral events in Pangasinan State
University Open University System. Findings from this showed that social media contribute to
learning but there is a disadvantage and the study suggests that social media blend with teachers
free management system. In the modern era, marked the rapid growth of technology and advances
in our educational aims. Chow states that learners’ motivation and achievement are closely
intertwined. It can raised by technology and promote lifelong learning in which the learners are
more engaged in the classroom. Thus, this is evident in the case of Chelghoum (2017), digital
learning, particularly online platforms, have recently witnessed a central focus in education. It
open up more possibilities for the learners to be more active in their education and learning, as
regulation can be realized in online environment, especially with the latest advances in technology
and the massive widespread use of digital devices in education. The research comes up with
teachers and learners. It maximize the students’ level by encouraging them to be more engaged in
Kaluf (2012) states that the modern day culture and technological influences are similar to
the innovations that the early civilizations have experienced. A situation where in two videos
showing clearly the similarity of a two period of time was emphasized and used to show how the
application of integration of technology in real life teaching is all about. The two video resources
are used in the classroom to give the students ideas and provoke them to do their own research on
the topic. Teachers are enncouraged to push their students to think how digital media and platforms
are used in innovation and creation and its influence in culture. Sung (2015) devices such as laptops,
mobile phone and other personal digital assistants play a big role for the learning inside of the
classroom or even outdoor. From the 110 experimental and quasiexperimental that were cited, it
resulted to the moderate mean average of 0.523 for the application of mobile devices in education.
In studies, it is recorded that student and teachers have a positive attitude regarding the use
of laptops and complying with their homeworks and activities. Furthermore, teacher have more
access to change his teaching style when they had increase opportunity fpr using laptop. The
existing literature on peer relationships indicates that friendships with age mates are crucial for the
psychosocial development and general well-being of youth (Rubin et al. 2015). Emergence of
Technological Advancement
Jianxiong Wu (2013) studied how vast and fast technological advancements mark the new
millennium that new emerging technologies are changing the world and our society at a magnitude
and scope never witnessed before. According to him, the beginning of the new millennium
products and services such as Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, iPhones, iPads, and many
more to come are dramatically changing the world and our society in many different ways. Clearly,
given the magnitude and scope of the technological advancements, no one will deny that the new
emerging technologies will have an important impact on education, our schools, our teachers, and
our students. In the survey, students in both the Tech Group and Non-Tech Group overwhelmingly
listed watching videos, including movies and YouTube videos, as one of the most helpful
Students believed that watching videos would help them gain access to authentic linguistic
and cultural content and make learning more fun and relevant. That is why as educators, we should
continue to provide a supportive environment for our students to nourish their positive attitude
toward technology. For, a positive attitude toward technology is as important as the technology
itself and that in order for technology use to be effective and efficient, we should always make
sure that the content we use with the technology is appropriate and the pedagogy is sound. Digital
divide is used to describe the increasing gap between computer users and non-users (Becker, 2000).
Digital divide is the gap between individuals, households, business, and geographic areas
at different socioeconomic levels with regard to both their opportunities to access Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) and the use of Internet for a wide variety of purposes (OECD,
2001). Lei (2009) found, this assumption is not necessarily true. It is also assumed that students
will need to learn and use 21st century skills to be successful in the digital age. Virtual worlds are
online, 3D environments that provide individuals with the opportunity to meet people and to form
communities. Through the use of an avatar, a virtual representation of the user created by the user,
people interact with others, collaborate, and create. Virtual worlds, unlike video games, are open-
ended; there are no structured storylines or competitive events to complete as is the case with
Pre-service teachers use social media to connect and be engaged (Nykvist & Mukherjee,
2016). It was stated that the digital identity must be taught to the pre-service teachers since the
students are actively engaged with digital and social media. It is important that the pre-service
teachers are engaging with the digital and social media to be connected and engage with the
students. Technology training is insufficient due to the lack of instructors. Also, most of the
universities do not have enough time free on their curriculums and not all schools are offering
instructors who find it hard to find time teaching computer basics on the students. Bruder (1989)
emphasized the lack of proper training offered by undergraduate programs on Pre-Service
Teachers about technology use. Despite all of the issues with universities’ technology training, it
is a significant step into improving the quality of future teachers. Since in-service teachers are
likely to oppose changes in their method of teaching, technology training of the Pre Service
teachers are necessary. Digital media education provides opportunities to educators in working
with technologies and using it to produce and design multimedia files. According to Hull et. al
Although printed materials such as books, dictionaries and etc. are very much useful for
students, digital media offers a new wide range of models such as digital stories, computer
programming, and podcasts. Providing access to resources develops a person to be the desired
creator of a media, thus letting teachers use computers and other digital tools paves the way to
one’s familiarity with technology use. Berger et. al (2019)’s study proved that the mediation of
teachers in fostering student’s protective skills in their usage of digital media is perceived by the
teachers as important and results to positive usage of the Internet. The teachers were found to have
intensive knowledge of plans and guidelines for media education and their engagement in honing
protective skills are strengthened by formal training. The data of the study confirmed that there is
no association between human and technological resources and teacher’s engagement in student’s
digital skills. The teacher’s regular use of Information and Communications Technology in class
The use of new technologies affects and transforms people’s lives, the way they think,
learn, work and communicate. University students’ lives – their intellectual and everyday social
activities are increasingly dependent on, expanded and supported by new communications
technologies. Thus, the shifting social and technological landscape in the 21st century suggests
that policymakers, faculty, and administrators should develop systematic plans to harness the
potential of technology-mediated instruction to support and improve how pre-service teachers are
prepared to teach the different school curricula (Ajayi, 2009). Johnson (2007) argues that
understanding pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their own learning while using technology will
help researchers and teacher educators to gain insights into the connection they make between the
In 1996, Douglas Rushkoff discovered that the existing students was said that they are born
in the online world of computer, networks and digital while others are settlers. That they are
exposed in using internet, computers, digital platforms and social networks. The abundance of
information and ideas with such ease of access has never before experienced by the older
generation. Now, this generation of technological locals is now going forward and has finally
reached United States' colleges and universities. Clearly, the students of undergraduate classes at
the college or university level can be called savvy users of the digital technologies. Students who
were born in an era of digital age are therefore called "digital natives" that they used digital tools,
and also Web 2.0 tools, and that they feel at ease and confident in using the said technical tools.
The assumptions that was mentioned was not necessarily a fact according to Lei, for it was
assumed that 21st century skills and knowledge are also an essential part of success for students
to be able to strive into this digital world. Back when digital technologies were still a fantasy,
communities can only be formed in person, but in today's societal advancements, communities can
now be formed on-line, through the use of internet, where people with the same interest can bond
representation of a user is called an avatar and it can be used to interact, create, or collaborate with
others. According to Bartle, video games and virtual worlds are not the same, for video games are
structured and well written with plot or story-line for an avatar to complete, whereas Virtual
Worlds are open-ended, meaning it is not structured, is not bound by story-lines and is well-driven
person by person. Distance education is defines as the interaction or collaboration of learners with
their other classmates to stimulate students' motivation and to support student learning as stated
by Threlkeld and Brzoska. Distance environments are classified as independent, and are highly
motivated or circulated by intrinsic sources. It also have a strong skills in the areas of literacy, time
Student interaction and a sense of "presence" or a feeling of "being there" was supported
by second Life that two-dimentional technologies lack according to DeLucia and company. Brown
and his associates found that online environments lended themselves to distance learning.
According to Luo and his associates, university faculties denotes that Second Life could be
Linden Labs, Second Lab must be run in a computer with a cable or DSL connection. According
to Chow, to effectively run Second Life in a computer, the computer must have a fast-phased
processor, a numerous amount of Random Access Memory, and a powerful graphics card to run
The internet must also have a high band-width allocation according to Vogel. Unarguably,
few schools may have computers too old to run Second life or their computers may not have the
standard specification as said by Franklin and Luo. The software as advised by Chow, must be
pre-installed and it also requores frequent updates. Second Life is known for several issues that
leads to the software crashing or to freeze up, the standard specifications must be attained for it to
run smoothly. Other technical problems in relation with Second Life are the following: avatars
appearing without clothes and objecta disappearing during building and editing said by Sanchez.

Mr. Neil Antigua is asked a series of questions regarding the digital dimension of the self. Before
the start of the interview, he keeps telling the interviewers that he is nervous so he is given enough
time to compose his self. At the beginning of the interview, the interviewers noticed that he wanted
to answer the questions but his nervousness is overpowering him. Based on our observation, he is a
private person. His interaction with the digital platforms is minimal and usually revolves around
facebook and mobile legends. Since Mr. Antigua is a private person, he finds digital platforms,
preferably the social media, as a way to confidently express his thoughts and opinions about a
certain issue.

Reflection:
Based on their answers responding to the question “how they view their digital
self?” it shows that all of them are active users of social media and most of them use
Facebook to present their digital self as it is the most popular and the number of users
around the world. Adding up the features that it contains, which is accessible and
comfortable to the users to present themselves. Their answers vary from stating their
behavior on the digital world. Some are very active when it comes to posting information,
sharing their thoughts and commenting on the status to present their opinion. While, some
of them used Facebook just to be updated on the news and their assignments posted online.
They are the silent users that fails to tell their opinion in an issue, and chose to be silent to
prevent misunderstandings. Thus, they utilize social media to present their hidden self and
used it as their way of communication and interaction with other people, especially the
farther ones. However, it is their platform to contribute learnings to the society; sharing
relevant information and warnings to the people. The respondents present their digital self
not only in the social media, but also in the platforms that they must use to present their
self as pre-service teacher such as, the use of PowerPoint and video presentation for the
discussion. They aren’t only presenting themselves personally but also as part of the society
Nowadays, social media is a platform that gives the youth a freedom to express their
opinions about a certain issue. According to Davison (2012), people are the one who chooses the
way on how they were going to present themselves to others, which will mark them with a great
impression to people. Through different platforms either in software and hardware their way of
presenting the self still they consider the ways on how he/she should recognize by people. As
stated in the research of Linares, et.al (2013) “Internet has become an essential tool for information
seeking, education, interaction and communication as well as entertainment, “for some of us, we
might think that being tech savvy is a bad thing because it may cause addiction to the person, but
looking at the benefits of it, it is important for us, especially the youth, because they are the one
Presenting yourself in social media can affect the way of your interaction through physical
world, there are some cases that the people who are comfortable in introducing themselves using
digital platforms is opposite from how they behave in real time. Especially, as a Pre-Service

Reflection:
Based on what they answer on this question, the majority of the students think that the use
activities, news and information and to express their thoughts and feelings in social media. Most
of them elaborate their answers by giving some of their experiences while using their digital self.
Because of the modern era they are living and the adjustments for the new innovations that they
need to utilize in today’s generation, their reasons are mostly to cope up with the changes of their
surroundings. For them, as a person the use of their digital self is the capability of digital platforms
to help them express their opinions about a certain issue. Since students have the freedom to post
anything he/she wants, some respondents answered that people need to consider what they need
and their responsibility to share knowledge and learnings as a pre-service teacher should possess.
Analysis:
Linares, Subrahmanyam, Cheng, Guan, 2013. Defines that the internet has become an
essential tool for information seeking, education, interaction and communication as well as
entertainment. In summary these results shows that the usage of digital platforms in the
presentation of self takes a significant role to pre-service teacher where every respondents freely
express theirselves. In social media platforms or digital, people have the right in identity
construction and it allows individual to construct a version of the ‘self’ as deceptive as they want
(Caffrey, 2017). Together in expressing yourself you have to think about the possibility that people
might access your private information as for the respondents they are conscious about leaking of
their information to public that is why they make sure to secure their privacy information. Camacho,
et al., 2012), it was stated that most of the students use privacy settings and giving consideration
with the content they share since their identity in social media is closely related to their real identity.
When it comes to information, they are very responsive to news, information and to the things they
need to know in education. Since accessing to the internet provides an immense wealth of
information; students use digital platform as a tool for a fastest way to learn.

At ahhhh.. bilang isang pre service teacher, yun ang pinaka isinaalang
alang ko sa paggamit ng digital platforms ay yung wala akong matatapakan na ibang tao… doon sa
ginagawa ko sa loob ng mga digital platforms na yan kasi bilang isang tao o dahil bilang ako, ahhh.. alam
dapat natin yung limitations na tinatawag, we can do what we want pero kapag nakakasakit na tayo is hindi
na pwede yun…. ahhh example is yung pagkakaiba ng criticisim sa pagiging basher at hater…. Iccriticized
mo yung tao ayon sa mga pinaggagawa niya like ano ba yung tama at mali sa mga ginawa niya. At dahil
doon eh sa tingin ko naipapakilala ko yung sarili ko na alam ko yung limitations ko sa paggamit ng mga
digital platforms.

yung sarili ko atsaka ang lalagay ako ng mga boundaries.natakot din po ako diba sa social
media madmaing na jujudge na tao, madaming na sa-cyberbully.
Yung digital platforms makakatulong siya, mabuti sa pamumuhay natin kasi easier
communication nga di ba?.. Kaso syempre kailangan din natin magingat kasi yung mga
information na nilalagay natin dun minsan masyadong naeexpose so maaaring gamitin yon as
against satin or maging sanhi pa ng crime kumbaga. Ang maganda kasi sa digital, mas
nababawasan natin ang paggamit ng papel na nakakatulong sa environment.

kasi kung digital platforms lang yun hindi natin alam kung totoo lahat ng sinabi nya dito na

Reflection:
Majority of the respondents answered that they consider their cybersecurity first in using
digital platforms as a pre-service teacher. They are aware that once they used digital platforms,
they are at risk of getting cyberbullied and other cybercrimes that can be committed. Cyberbullying
as the respondent’s answers, is really an alarming problem in the society, many of the users cannot
escape from this kind of problem. Posting your pictures and commenting on some of the issues
and status can lead you to cyberbullying especially if you are opposed to the topic you are talking
about. That is the reason why some of the users of social media are silent and can’t even type any
comment and react on it, because they are afraid to be hated by many people.
Some answered that they consider the ethical standard in the internet. Because it is them
who are showing themselves through digital platforms and as a pre-service teacher, they should
act ethically in digital platforms. Respect and discipline is the best way to prevent cyberbullying,
giving respect can make you a respected person. Respondents also answered that they consider the
availability of the instruments in representing themselves through digital platforms like in laptop,
powerpoints and many more. And some of their answers revolving on the consideration to the
Analysis:
The primary consideration that the pre-service teachers considers in using digital platform
was security. As stated by Camacho et al., (2012), most of the students use privacy settings and
giving consideration with the content they share since their identity in social media is closely
related to their real identity. It was also stated that participant feel needed to protect their personal
life. The respondents believe that security in digital platforms must be the number priority in using
digital platforms. They also consider Ethics in using digital platforms to present themselves
because it is what people perceive as you in real life. Research conducted by Davison (2012) stated
that the identity formed in social media is the same way in formulating our identity in real world.
Considering the feelings of the other people in using digital platform in presenting yourself is
giving importance to socializing. In this way, youth can receive feedback from others and integrate

Para sakin naman yung pag present ng uhmm. Digital self.. araw-araw, makakabuti
naman yung pagshashare ko ng opinion. Firstly kasi, dun nagsisimula yung lakas ng
loob mag labas ng opinion ko, then siguro sa future, mailalabas ko din yung sarili
kong opinion. Personally.

Ano, parang sa paggamit ko araw araw ng digital
platform, i keep updated everyday sa bagong issues. Also, sa paggamit nito araw araw
beneficial siya in some way like getting updates and news tapos somehow stress reliever din
lalo na kapag super overloaded ng gawain parang break ko ganun. Pero ang cons naman niya
is sayang sa oras if lalo na kung iisipin na 3-5 hrs everyday ang ginugugol ko sa pagiinternet.
So, if sa pangaraw araw na gawain, its okay but with limitations pa din sa paggamit.
Syempre yung pag-use ng digital platforms sa araw-araw.. mas mapapakilala nga siya kasi
mas easier and also mas convenient siyang gawin.. and ang result non ay.. kasi di ba isa sa
mga example ng software is facebook and messenger. Sobrang laki niyang distraction sa
pagaaral kasi di ba hindi lang naman siya as way of communication, ginagamit din natin
siya upang masatisfy ang interest natin sa buhay natin… ahh .. makakabuti siya in terms of
expressing. Diba masama kasing kinikimkim mo lang lagi. Pero ang masama nga don, kung
exposing yourself, to much exposing of yourself.
MR. JON NOLAN
INFORMANT NO.4 (1-9)
Ahh para sakin bilang isang pre-service teacher maganda siya kasi ako tulad ko pagka may mga
assignments, mas madali ako nakakakuha ng ng sagot or Mas madali akong nakakapagresearch ahh
dahil ano dahil ayon nga may internet at nakakakuha ako ng mga impormasyon about doon so
nagkakaroon ng sagot yung nga assignments ko. Ang masama lang is minsan aminin man natin sa
hindi kahit sa klase dahil sa sobrang kaadikan nagagamit at nagagamit talaga... Sa pakiramdam ko
nakakaapekto rin siya eh. Ahh ako tulad ko parang nakaka nakiki.. nakaka-ano siya nakakaapekto siya
kasi minsan sa pag-aaral tinutuon yubg oras ko sa pagccellphone ay sa paggawa ng assignment.. ay
oo tama na yung pag-aaral ka minsan doon ko na lang tinutuon yong oras ko napupunta siya sa pagse-
cellphone hanggang sa hindi ko namanlayan magpapasahan na pala ayon kaya parang nakakaapekto
pa din siya.. Hindi lang siya nkaakapekto kasi sa totoo lang ahh nakakatulong siya kasi ayon nga
nagiging mulat ka so nagiging nagiging malawak yung pang-unawa mo pero di ako aaminin ko hindi
siya...... May negative side din di din siya nakakatulong ayon nga minsan nga nagiging tamad na ko
imbes na sa pag-aaral ko tinutuon yung oras ko napupunta siya sa pagccellphone.
Ang paggamit kasi nito sa araw-araw…ahhh minsan nakakatulong siya kasi convenient tulad
nga ng sabi ko kanina, kapag marami kang gagawin isang click mo lang, isang send mo lang
okay na. Pero kasi minsan, lalo na kapag naaddict tayo….. Kaya ang epekto nito Malaki.. lalo
na ngayong college, diba free wifi tayo. Imbes na gagawin ko yung yung assignment ko
nagtitwitter ako, nagpopost ako ng Ig. Punong puno yung ig story ko lagi kaya hindi ko
nababalanse yung oras ko, lagi akong nagpoprocrastinate. … Hindi rin talaga siya nagpapabuti
sakin, kasi diba may tamang balance pero kung hindi mo naman nagagamit ng tama yung digital,
doon nagiging mali.

operate that certain digital platform na that particular technology won't be able to educate
you if your not educated how to use that particular technology so ahmm ang sakin lang hindi
siya ganon althought it's effective may mga ano parin loopholes na I think kelangan ma-solve
hindi nman neccesarily ng government but the family itself siguro financially, siguro nasa

for communication talaga hindi lang siya ay okay sige kung pre-service teacher yung mga
teacher or magiging teacher ginagamit nila ang digital platform to inform hindi lang para to
express theirselves kundi ginagamit 'din nila ito para sa kunyari walang pasok parang sa pnu
di ba tinatrain na nila ay dapat pag ano ka di ba iba na yung era natin ngayon di ba mas ano

communicate kapag wala kang cellphone actually parang necessity na yung digital platform
talaga satin. Kase kapag wala ka nun parang ano ka parang out ka kasi hindi ka nila
makakausap paano kung may mga projects or ano. So for me makakatulong talaga sobrang

Based on the answers of the respondents, many said that the different digital platforms
helps them express themselves. They use it to share their thoughts and opinions regarding certain
issues. It also helps them be aware of what they share online because they consider their profession
as they will be the future educators. According to them, digital platforms also paves a way for
easier communication. In a simple click on a gadget they can easily call and inform one another.
It also makes everything convenient. From communication to being innovative. However, just like
anything else, it needs balance. One respondent said that digital platforms contributes a lot in
making things in a more convenient way but it needs balance. Digital platforms' negative side,
according to some respondents, it encourages people to be lazy. It can be solved if people have
Analysis:
Youth in about each nation utilize web based life to keep up almost steady contact with
their companions. (Wood, M.A, Bukowski 2016). The youth nowadays are more into using digital
platforms rather than communicating face to face. Technology evolves in a much faster way than
humans. In a simple click, people can communicate with others even of they are at the farthest part
of the world. In a simple click, people can know information through televisions, computers and
other gadgets. People can easily engage to other by using various platforms. It is easier to connect
with one another and it doesn’t require a face to face conversation. Carter and Nugent (2011)
suggests that Personal Learning Networks are based from virtual communities of various digital
platforms of blogs, wikis, and other social software’s. People engaging with one another shows
similar interests, and captures learning context as they build themselves individually with the
practice of collaboration. Between the newcomers and other participants they are able to share
ideas, and adopt norms, and culture that sharpens their self-learning.
Corollary Question #4: As a Pre-Service Teacher, is the usage of digital
platforms necessary for your career?
MR. NEIL
Informant no. 1 (1-3)
Oo, ahh ayun nga, nasa 21st century tayo then, siguro
malaking tulong yung mga digital flatforms, especially google. Pero syempre may
disadvantage parin, kasi yung mga ibang source kasi, walang credibility, kung baga nakukuha
lang kung saan saan or fake news kung tinatawag…. ‘Yun nga yung nabanggit ko, as a pre-
service teacher, yung google malaking tulong yun specially, making research. Kasi halos lahat
ng sources nandun na. diba? Then… ano pa ba.. uhmm. Parang same nga lang din about
research. Syempre yung mga teacher nga. As future profession, di naman tayo tumitigil sa pag
aaral. So malaki parin ang maitutulong ng digital flatforms sa pagaaral natin.
MS. KYLA
Informant no. 2 (1-5)
Oo naman, as pre-service teacher kasi.. uhmm.. mas relevant
ngayon yung paggamit ng mga digital platform. Sa paggawa pa lang ng mga requirements,
reports yun palang.. ano.. mahalaga na siya . Di man always dapat gamitin to. Pero dapat
alam pa rin natin kung saan at kung paano ang tamang paggamit nito. Ahhh. Isang halimbawa
na lang nito ay ang paggamit ng mga sites para sa research like yung ano.. yung pang mga rrl
natin don palang malaking tulong na. tapos sa laptop yung paggawa ng report, mas marami
na kasi ang nagamit ng powerpoint ngayon ee.
MS. ABIGAIL

Oo, pinapahalagahan ko yun kasi tinuturing ko yun as
sarili ko. So sarili ko ibig sabihin pinapaliguan ko, pinapahalagahan ko ito. As same as
pinapahalagaan ko yung digital self ko. So pinapahalagahan ko din siya in a way na
makikita ng ibang tao, kasi kapag ang hirap kasing, ang hirap gumalaw kapag iniisip
mo yung ibang tao, ganito yung iniisip sayo. So para mas madaling gumalaw dapat
maganda din yung ipakita mo sa kanila para hindi ka nila masyadong pag-isipan ng
masama kasi yun naman yun eh.

Aahhh… binibigyan ko siya ng halaga na gusto kong
maipakita yung lahat ng good sides ko kase magrereflect ito at gaya nga ng sinasabi na
magrereflect ito in the future lalo na sa professionals stage mo kase soon kapag nagsubmit ka
ng resume maari mong pangalan mo nalang ibigay nila sayo tapos titignan ka nalang nila sa
internet platform, so gusto ko na professional yung dating ko when it comes to this digital
world, gusto ko presentable kasi in the future maaring magkaroon ito ng negatibong epekto.
… isa sa mga na-experience ko ay ..kasi simula nung, siguro nung tumaon ng highschool
gumagamit nako ng social media platform, gaya ng facebook, so may mga instances na kapag
hindi tayo makakatulog o may mga assignment na hindi nagagawa pag bumabagsak tayo sa
quiz, kinukuha ni mama yung cp, and then kapag ka may halimbawa practices, ahhmm may
mga tawag dito meetings, hindi ko, hindi ako updated sa mga usapan ng mga kaklase ko kasi
nga wala akong cp, wala akong access sa internet so parang ang pinaka naapektuhan is yung
communication ko with my friends na narealize ko na without this I won’t be able to
communicate with them properly.
Oo diba sinabi sa Ambisyon 2014 ay parang ganun, yung digital platforms, devices and gadgets
ay mas malaki na yung ano niya anong tawag dun. Yung role nya sa teachers in the future

Yes.. oo. Sabi ko nga kanina na dapat as pre service teacher dapat inclined tayo sa

we can used it para mas mapadali yung journey natin para maging teacher.
MS. ANDREA
Informant No.11 (1-20)
Ayon para sa akin oo sobrang kailangan at sobrang
mahalaga din siya kasi yun nga nasa 21st century na tayo so sa mga susunod na panahon
yung mga tuturuan natin mas techy na sila or mas ano na sila mas in na sila pag technology
yung pinag uusapan. So ngayon pa nga lang medyo naboboring na tayo sa PowerPoint kasi
ang dali dali na niyang gawin, ang dali dali ng pumindot ng pumindot. Tapos ang dali na
niyang makaintindi pero kasi umm ayun nga makakatulong siya kasi may mga magiging
students tayo na pwedeng sa digital platform mas madali silang matuto or through mga videos
maipapalabas natin sa tv or through mga music na pwede nating ipakinig sa kanila. Maaaring
mas matuto sila and may iba naman na mas maaaring hindi.
MS. ROSELLE
Informant No.12 (1-21)
Maari na kailangan siya…. At oo, importante siya kasi may mga times na di ba for example sa
class suspension then may mga times na naghahabol tayo ng mga lessons or may kailangan
tayong gawin so nakakatulong siya sa pagaanpunce through that maiaanounce mo siya kung
anong dapat gawin.
MS. CAMILLE
Informant No.13 (1-22)
Yes mahalaga talaga siya kase yun nga as part nga nung vision and mission na which is maging
innovative teacher so ayun umm para sa akin ok naman na gumamit ng digital platforms para
ano rin para mapadali rin yung ano, rin yung buhay sa pagtuturo.
MS. ANN
Informant No.15 (1-24)
Siguro kailangan siya kasi ano e yung generation ngayon most
likely nakabase depende na sila sa technology, sa mga social media. So as a teacher or as a pre
service teacher kailangan natin makisunod sa kanila para malaman natin kung ano ba yung gamay
ng mga students or yung mga future na tuturuan natin…. Kung ira-rate ko sya.. ahhm. Siguro nasa
7?... ahhh.. kasi ano siya e, para sakin importante siya pag gagamitin mo siya as a medium talaga
sa pagtuturo or sa pag acquire ng new knowledge pero pag dating naman sa personal use it's not
really that helpful kasi para sakin my own opinion is harmful yung paggamit natin ng social media
kaysa sa tulong nito in generalized… And personally, ayun nga kasi diba mo ano ngayon halos
lahat na nasa social media, nasa digital platforms so mas nagiging updated siguro yung mga tao
tapos mas ayun mas lumalawak yung connection nila hindi lang sa locality pati na rin sa buong
mundo or buong bansa... uhmm.. So propesyon natin? *hmm hmm* siguro masasabi ko yun nga
ang mga teachers meron silang advocacy so through those social medias pwede nilang iadvocate
kung ano man yung gusto nilang sabihin mas doon nila siguro naipapakita sa mas malawakang
audience kung ano yung pinaglalaban nila.
Reflection:
Based on what they respond to this question, all of them says yes, that the usage of digital
platforms necessary for their career as a pre-service teacher. They consider that as a 21st century
learners, it is a big help for them to have an easy access to such information for their catch-up
education. They also stated that as a future teacher, they should be flexible in learning this kind of
platforms, not only for them to keep up with the trends but for them to easily understand their
student’s behavior and using digital platforms in teaching is the best way to let the students explore
more on technology. Thus, some of them says that you also need to consider your limitation in
Analysis:
every pre-service teacher. According to Bristol (2016), Filipino Youth are active users of
digital media specifically Social Networking Sites and Smartphones with the reasons for
staying connected to their family and friends, a source of information and entertainment.
Web based life can have a positive effect upon depression, closeness, and relationship
communication tool that connects children with others. College students feel greater
subjective well-being when they present themselves positively. With the advancement in
technology, more people have been engaging with each other digitally. It allows people
new ways to show their selves and maintain social relationships. Within our social media
platforms, we have the right in identity construction and it allows an individual to construct
a version of the ‘self’ as deceptive as they want (Caffrey, 2017). Also, pre-service teachers
use social media to connect and be engaged (Nykvist & Mukherjee, 2016).
It was stated that the digital identity must be taught to the pre-service teachers since
the students are actively engaged with digital and social media. It is important that the pre-
service teachers are engaging with the digital and social media to be connected and engage
with the students. Moreover, it promotes long-life learning for the students. Thus, this is
evident in the case of Chelghoum (2017), digital learning, particularly online platforms,
have recently witnessed a central focus in education. It open up more possibilities for the
learners to be more active in their education and learning, as well as to uncover students’
willingness to learn with digital support. According to Chelghoum (2017), promoting the

at sa tamang paggamit ng ano ng internet ayon ahhh dapat kasi bilang isang teacher maging
isang magandang ehemplo tayo sa ano eh sa iba. So ayon ahh maging responsable lang. Ahh
ano tulad kahapon ahh parang may gusto akong ahhh nay gusto akong ishare or sa fb tungkol
sa usaping politikal kaso parang naisip ko parang makakaoffend to sa ibang tao ta's inisip
ko na lang muna..... Binasa ko na lang muna siya imbes na ishare ko binasa oo na lang para
ano kahit papaano magkaroon ako ng ano ng idea na ahh ano ba talaga yung tama ahhh ano
ano ba talaga yung mali. ... nagbigay ako ng opinyon ko pero sinarili ko na lang. Ahh parang
nagbigay ako ng opinyon sa sarili ko pero di ko na lang siya shinare sa ibang tao..
nasisiyahan ako sa ginawa ko kasi ahhh ibig sabihin dahil sa sitwasyon na yon marunong pa
rin akong alam ko pa din yung limitasyon ko sa paggamit... Sa pagpapahalaga ko di may
positibo at negatibo,... So yung positibo ahhh sa pamamagitan ng social media platforms
mas naeexpress ko yung sarili ko ng responsable kasi yung iba kasi naeexpress yung sarili
nila pero di nila alam na nakakasakit na sila ng ibang tao which is yung negative na
nararanasan ko sa pagpapahalaga ng sarili ahhh minsan ahhh minsan nakakakita ako ng
nga post na natatamaan ako na di nila ano di nila naiisip na makakasakit to yun. Pero yung
positibo ahhh naeexpress ko yung sarili ko ng rwsponsable na walang ibang natatapakan or
walang ibang nasasaktan na tao.
I give value to my Digital self through.., alam mo yung pag-apply ng mga turo sa tin ng mga
teachers natin at the same time yung paggamit ng digital platforms as instrument para magawa
ito. We shoyld also know na ahat ng bagay mg limit at katapusan.. at isa sa mga bagay na

nagiimprove pa yun lalo para mas mapadali yung mga gagawin natin. Pero tayo kasi yung

naman yung sarili ko na hindi ako masisira sa ibang tao lalo na dun sa mga malalapit sa akin, sa tita ko,
sa nagpapadala sa akin ng baon kasi ayaw niya nung nagboboyfriend ganyan syempre hindi ko rin ipopost
yun sa FB kase friend ko sya sa FB or kung magpopost ako about sa amin ng ano ko boyfriend ko ang
ginagawa ko kinocustom ko na hindi niya makikita. Yun parang ganun lang yung pagpapahalaga pero hindi
naman ako ganun ka.. I mean hindi ako keyboard warrior hindi rin naman ako ganun ka sensitive pagdating
sa mga binibigay kong information about sa akin… Halimbawa nun.. Ako ano parang sa akin sobrang
halaga ng digital platform para maexpress natin yung sarili natin and makapag communicate tayo sa ibang
tao. Yung ano nabalitaan nyo ba yung sinusulong nila Alfred Vargas yung no homework policy so as a pre-
service teacher syempre apektado ako doon kasi ang ano noon like magiging unfair na yun sa mga teachers
na sila na lang yung bigay ng bigay hindi na magkakaroon ng paghihirap or ng wag na lang nating sabihing
paghihirap sabihin na nating judgement, or ng test or ng ayun nga assignment kasi kayo naiimagine nyo ba
sarili nyo na nag-aaral kayo tapos wala kayong assignment diba ang pangit naman noon kasi hindi naman
lahat. Lalo na sa dito sa pilipinas na ang daming estudyante padami ng padami pero yung mga facilities
hindi naman nadadagdagan so yung mga oras ng mga teacher sa isang klase or sa isang subject
nababawasan din halimbawa one hour na lang noong junior high school kami nagkaroon mga forty minutes
lang kada isang subject so ano naman yung magagawa ng teacher dun sa forty minutes na magiging
productive talaga yung estudyante at magiging globally competitive parang wala na kasi hindi na kakasya
so ang gagawin nila magbibigay sila ng assignment or ipapauwi nila yung dapat activity that day. So ayun
yung ano recent situation na nakita ko yung sarili ko sa digital world ako kasi I think gumana yung
pagkakaroon ko ng digital self kase ayon nga share ako ng share ng about dun at nagsa cite ako ng opinions

yung iba't ibang self ko pa... Na-satisfied naman ako sa ginawa ko.. Ahm yes kasi ano e tawag dito tulad

naman ako na di ako ganong nag babase lang sa digital self ko e…. Siguro sa sarili ko? Siguro yung

Reflection:
Based from the answers on this question, some of them they valued the digital dimension
of the self by limiting the time usage for personal interest yet they used the digital platforms in
academic responsibilities they had because they saw it useful and convenient to their learnings.
Few of them valued the digital dimension of the self by being careful with the content they shared
in different platforms because for what others will say after seeing inappropriate words and some
are afraid to saw it with their relatives. Most of them answered they valued digital dimension of
the self because they can express their views and opinion through digital platforms, some resulted
increases of self- confidence because as a pre- service teacher for them they should be a role model
to the people somehow other answer they shared good sides of themselves only. However, there
was an answered they do not much valued the digital dimension of the self because they not prefer
using digital platforms to express their thoughts and opinion , personal self was prioritize than
digital self.
Analysis:
Internet has become an essential tool for information seeking, education, interaction and
communication as well for entertainment (Linares et al., 2013). Digital platforms can be used in
many ways but it should had limitations because the amount of information you put out on the
Internet over social media, intended or not, affect you in the real world (Bristol et al., 2016) . The
interviewees are aware with the effects of digital platforms with them because they implemented
rules like minimizing the time usage, focus first on assignments and stop using facebook for a
while and posting good content only it is because based on (Lenhart et., 2016) It claims that human
are prone to self-evaluation based on the social norms however when people often fall short of
social standards when self-awareness is heightened, positive affect and self-esteem typically
decrease when people are exposed to objective self-awareness response. However, Interesting is
not for motivation for self-presentation, but used this to create new motives. Social networking
sites provide access as a new object also it implies how the modern technology forces was us to
reconsider to understand psychological process on it. It is also evident that technology and online
communication is currently ubiquitous for youth, particularly as a tool for socialization. (Camacho,
et al., 2012), it was stated that most of the students use privacy settings and giving consideration
with the content they share since their identity in social media is closely related to their real identity.
It was also stated that participant feel needed to protect their personal life
The interviewee recognizes always the reaction of other with their share post and
opinion some are positive like boosting self-confidence because of that, some negative effects like
people judged them because of they say using using platforms however, many of them used digital
platforms for expressing their thoughts, views and opinions congruent on what The Effect of
Facebook in self- esteem as its ability to socialize Facebook can enhance the social self-esteem
one’s you received positive feedbacks from your friends (Gonzales and Hancock, 2011) also
College students feel greater subjective well-being when they present themselves positively on
Facebook (Kim and Roselyn Lee 2011), and present themselves as having better emotional well-
being and greater positive affect on Facebook than they do in their actual lives in order to enhance
their self-presentation (Qiu et al. 2012). The reason why most of the interviewee being careful for
what they shared on digital platforms because people are getting “enslaved to a device” that makes
them feel responsible to look at other people’s lives. According to Couros and Hildebrandt (2016),
as the digital world becomes enmeshed with our physical world, identities become public by
default, and this can have disastrous consequences for those whose digital identities are deemed
socially unacceptable. Further that, missteps and poor choices made online can result in public
of their own learning while using technology will help researchers and teacher educators to gain
insights into the connection they make between the theory of using technology. The researcher
observed that most of the interviewees point out the importance of digital platforms on their

Wala pa naman hanggang ngayon. Hindi pa ako najujudge

kilala nating artista, politico…. diba yung digital platforms, like facebook is in public kasi,
then may mga nagpopost kasi about doon sa isang tao na credible naman yung source,
nakaexperience sila nun kasi, dahil din sa mga ginagawa nila, recently naman alam naman
natin yung tungkol sa issue nung “Gerald Anderson” and “Julia Baretto” then “Bea Alonzo”,
dapat pina-private na lang yung issue na yun. Dahil sa digital flatforms, mas lumaki pa yung
problema. Pero in my experience,.. wala pa po.

teachers namin from our highschool nagreact and ano masaya ako na hindi ako
nagreact kasi nakokontril ko yung sarili ko dun sa post na ganun di ba okay lang yung
hindi mo maexpress yung sasabihin mo kasi hindi ko naman kumpermiso ng sarili ko
hindi naman ako nagkaroon ng kaaway tsaka madaming namna paraaan para sabihin
yung opinyon natin hindi lang naman sa social media kasi masyadong mapanghusga

Actually yes, ngayon yung profile picture ko kasi ngayon
is nakita mo ba yon yung ahhh naka stripes, naka spaghetti dress ako or something kase
pinagtripan ko lang yon, so ngayon yung mga kaibigan ko ang iniisip nila nagbago nako ng
gender, iniisip nila na bakla nako, which for me wala namang kaso kase I know myself better
than they do pero still it some kind of conflict para sakin kase first of all lalaki ako, pero
anyways ayon isa yon sa isang problemang kinakaharap ko ngayon pero it's not that much
pinifeel yon para saken…. Nangyare to kasi.. sa tingin ko kase masyado akong palabiro
especially on the internet world, masyado akong playful kaya ko nagawa yung bagay na yon,
so i think this applies to all, na whatever happens to you and in the internet world its just you
to blame, ikaw at ikaw lang dapat ang sisihin so dapat maging responsable ka… Nakaranas
na rin sigurpo yung iba,.. Siguro Ahhh oo naman, ahhm although ayoko mag state ng name,
ahhm may kakilala ako na, namatay kasi yung mom niya and ewan ko he just keep posting
something about nobody loves me and then may mga tropa kasi siyang sobrang close kasi
niya, parang binibiro siya na oo walang nagmamahal sayo ganyan na ganun nalang yung
pananalita or pakikitungo nila sakanya porket ganon sila kaclose but the thing is yung
kaibigan mo na yon hind niya na kinakaya kasi he's in so much pain tapos ganun pa yung biro
sakanya so I think it's very harsh for me to say something like that, kailangan maging sensitive
tayo.
Oo minsan kasi may mga impormasyon ako nakakaligtaaan na dapat kong malaman or di kaya
ay may nalilike kang di dapat ilike. 'Di ba ang problem na tinutukoy mo ay yung mga parang

Reflection:
Based from what they answer on this question, most of them did not encountered
problems/concerns having profile online alone however, few of the pre-service teachers
have concerns in digital platforms and its users concerning about bashers, cyberbullying
and poser accounts. As a pre-service teacher, they limit showing their digital perspectives
and even if they provide their insights about a certain topic they carefully handles out
information meticulously in order to avoid issues in the cyber context and misinformation
Analysis:
It was shown that even if the pre-service teachers are considered to be digital natives, they
do not display themselves fully because of the harmful response in relying too much in the context
of digital platforms. It is a common belief that the internet security and privacy of teens are points
of vulnerability. There are various efforts in schools and in other educational settings for teenagers
to learn ways to protect themselves from online threats or harms. (Jim & Chang, 2019) In that way
they have created a coping mechanism to avoid issues considered with internet privacy, and
According to Couros and Hildebrandt (2016), the digital world becomes enmeshed with
our physical world, identities become public by default, and this can have disastrous consequences
for those whose digital identities are deemed socially unacceptable. Therefore, even if we display
information of ourselves in different digital platforms security and privacy of data can still be at
risk. Hence, it is a must that we used digital platforms in academic purposes and connectivity while
being attentive to all the things you bring out of the cyberspace

Bukod sa Nalilimitahan, nalilimitahan in a sense na
tinatanggal ka nya sa kapahamakaan yung limit na yun kasi gumagawa tayo ng limit ay para sa
atin kasi tayo ay future teacher kaya hindi dapat ganun yung post at nararapat lang na pormal
yung post. Meron din akong natutuhan.. Meron yun nga yung maging maingat sa mga bawat
ipopost mo kasi though freedom of expression natin ang popost hindi kasi sya katanggap tanggap
sa iba’t ibang paraaan minsan kasi nagpopost tayo freedom natin iyon, pero naisaalang alang
natin yung sarili natin at kaligtasan natin yung dapat hindi lang think before you click tapos

Kinakausap ko sila na hoy biro lang yung pinost ko sa fb, hindi nman po tlaga ako bakla, actually pati
si tita ko nagtanong na, uyy bakla kana ? Sabi ko kay tita, hindi po tita parang somekind of school
project, napagtripan ko sarili ko pinost ko lang yun so just to make things clear na lalaki ako, even
though ganun yung profile ko. Kung nagawa ko na sya ngayon?... Hindi. Kasi it's not that easy to
overcome, that kind of situation on conflicts lalo na at ahhm gaya ng sinabi ko na napapaligiran tayo
ng mapanghusga at malalaking bungangang tao, it's not that easy, mahirap ipa-intindi sa tao lalo na
kapag close minded sila kapag ka lalo na kapag inuphold, started to hold on may particular idea na
which is hindi naman the same with you, ahhmm gaya ng sinasabi ko hindi ako bakla, pero since na
masyadong girlishh yung profile ko na pinost ko iisipin nila sakin is bakla and then mahihirapan ako
na palitan yung idea nila sakin na yon kasi na established ko na sakanila yun so ang natutunan ko lang
is wag ka ng gumawa ng mga bagay na hindi mo naman kailangan gawin. May natutunan naman ako
sa ginawa ko.. Ahhmm oo kase ayun nga gaya ng sinasabi ko kung ano ang nakikita nila sayo sa internet
world yun din ang pagkakakilala nila sayo sa real world, so if you want to be known for who you are
in the internet world, then you might wanna do it in good way, you might wanna present yourself in a
matter which is pleasant to everyone, wag mong sisiraan, wag na mismo ikaw yung sisira sa image mo
so I guess na it's better to just do good things in the internet kase yun ang magrereflect sayo in real
world.

kase na hindi ka dapat post ng post ng kung anu-ano pero if ever naman na ano free will mo naman na
mag post ng kung anu-ano or mag post ka ng something na nagpapakilala sayo or something na makikilala

natin magpagod sa isang bagay… Ano na lang, uhm.. pagiisahin ko nalang yung sagot as pre-service

ma express naten yung sarili naten at mag bigay ng opinions about sa issues. As a pre-service teacher
naman ganun din mas vocal at mas hmm mas dapat nakakapgbigay ng ahmm ... ng tulong sa social
media eh diba ang role naman ng social media is ma influence naten yung madaming audience. As a
future teacher hahaha ganun din, para maaware natin yung mga tao kasi mas madali makapag
influence ng tao lalo na sa social media kasi mas mabilis kumalat yung mga issue and always make a
stand sa mga issues at wag mag bulag bulagan sa mga issues.

educating people diba ang turo sa humss hindi humanista, humanidades. So in that way
naging platform ko siya turuan din yung ibang students na hindi yun humanista,
humanidades yun. Tapos as a future teacher kasi hindi mo maiiwasan sa future students
mo na iistalk ka nila so yung digital platforms ko magiging way siya para magkaroon ako
ng stable image doon sa future students ko na magagalang nila ako at marerespeto nila
ako, para hindi kasi may mga time ba pag ganito yung post ok na lang sa mga students ng
ganito na lang yung sasabihin yung sa teachers through hindi siya dapat kasi professional

plaform ng kaalaman huwag natin syang gamitin na settings stone para magpasikat or
something gumawa ng mga post para sa kapawa instead gumawa tayo ng mag bagay na yung
mag post na makakatulong sa tao. Sabi nga sa aking propesor sa UTS na inyong propesor
din hindi rin naman tayo humuhubog ng mga masasamang teaceher kaya kung alam na din
natin makakabuti so ayun lang magingat tayo sa pagpopost, tignan natin ng malawak ang

Bilang tao ahm, bilang tao pinakamalaking gampanin ng digital

of ahm let say essential issues or essential experience or simply mga bagay na kailangan malaman
ng mga tao especially mga estudyante natin ano yung pang last ?... for us being a future teacher ang
pinaka gampani nito para sakin is just to basically aware sa kung anong lagay ng mga ng bansa
natin, ng mga kabataan kase makaka-epekto ito sa future natin so ayun para sakin pinaka main goal
ng digital platform is communication and awareness.

Yung role ng digital self sa personal siya yung communication. Siya yung magpapabilis ng

siyang mag iimprove. Sa future siguro kung ngayon mabilis at reliable na. Sa future ano pa kaya yun.

yung ano pagiging ako kase hindi naman gagana yung digital platform kung wala tayo eh, kase
tayo pa din yung nagkokontrol nun. I mean ano umm ganto sa FB sino ba nagkokontrol nun, tayo
din, sa computer natin tayo nagkokontrol nun na hindi na never gagana yung digital platform
kung wala tayo so yun yung role ko dun..
Ayon bilang pre service teacher naman siguro yung gampanin ko lang is yung hindi
pagkakalat ng fake news kase usong uso ngayon yan, yung mga ganito ganyan tapos ang dami
mong mababasa sa FB na kapag nagsunod sunod na ayan na isheshare na nila ng isheshare
without reading sa mga supporting articles or sa mga ayun nga sa mga articles na kaugnay doon
na hindi naman pala totoo yun na ganito pala, or yun na lang yung walang pasok ang daming
page na, ang daming gumagawa ng mga fake page ngayon, siguro ano ang role na masasabi ko
is siguro as pre service teacher siguro isa ako sa magsusulong ng hindi dapat tayo naniniwala
agad dun sa mga nababasa ng isang beses or wala man lang tayong nabasa na ibang articles
about dun..
Ako siguro yung naisip ko kasi is ano ahmm pwede akong maging inspiration or model
sa ahh digital world, na yung mga.. ayun magiging inspiration ako sa mga future students ko na
hindi palaging maganda yung epekto ng digital world at hindi rin naman palaging panget yung
epekto ng digital world kase yun nga nakakatulong talaga sya everyday pero may mga negative
effects din siya sa mga students and pwede akong maging model or maging inspiration na ilolook
up ng mga students as teacher na gumagamit ng digital platform at hindi kinakalimutan yung
traditional way.

lang pinapractice mo na dinedevelop mo na yung kung papaano ko naipapakita ang iyong self mo
as a teacher and sa students mo. Ah kasi that time dumaaan ka na sa training sa pre service teacher
dapat alam mo na yung mga bagay na di dapat at dapat gawin as a teacher alam mo na yung mga

magbibigay kang pre cautions na ganun na itong ano tapos at the same time maano rin nila
marerealize din nila na dapat yung itong gantong platform ay ginagamit lang sa ganyan kumbaga
dapat nakikita natin yung purpose talaga yun yung purpose sa education hindi yung sa pang ano
lang kung ano anong puchu puchu lang kumbaga dapat yung mga platform na yun nagagamit yun is
to spread the word. Yun yun diba kasi nga sinasabi nga, yun nga para hindi lang lagiin sa ano sa

alam mo yung kahalagahan…. Pareho lang din yung sa Pre-service teacher at Sa future teacher ano
maipapakita mo sa mga students mo how to be responsible when it comes to using those kind of

siya as entertaining so most likely yung mga tao hindi nila naiisip kung ano yung mga epekto sa

natin kasi in the future nga magiging professionals tayo so ngayon pa lang iniingatan natin yung
sinasabi natin online tapos inaano natin mas pinapalaganap natin kung yung ano gusto nating
iadvocate.. Gampanin both nila siguro isa lang sakin yung ano gampanin kasi natin iano e tawag
dito na maging responsable sa kung ano mang ginagawa natin online saka kung ano yung mga
gusto nating iparating online, yun na siguro yung pinaka para sakin kailangan pag ingatan ng

sa estudyante natin ay totoo.. For example .. Ayun sa history diba, ahmm katulad nung sinabi
nong seminar na hindi lahat.. . yung mga libro kasi natin ngayon minsan hindi siya accredible
o verified kung baga dinisseminate siya sa mga estudyante without ano.. without accrediting it.
So maaari na nag mga information don eh hindi totoo about sa history natin. Kung baga kahit
sa internet din maraming mga articles don na kunwari si Emilio Aguinaldo ay bayani ng
Pilipinas which is not. So marami don sa internet na lumalabas pero if we evaluate those
information deeply malalaman natin na ayy hindi pala. ..ayun.

Nahuhubog yung sarili ko sa paggamit ng digital self sa
paraang vise versa nakakacontribute ang nagamit at ginagamit. Uhmm. In a way na kapag
ginagamit ko yung social media to present myself as pre service teacher, dito nahuhubog
yung confidence na hindi ko malabas kapag nasa physical world. Then ako as pre service
teacher nga nakakacontribute ako sa tao at sa mismong social media na uhmm..
dumadagdag ako sa mga nagbibigay ng information sa mga users nito. Hindi lang ako yung
nashe-shape ng digital world dahil may kakayahan na din akong mang-shape ng ibang tao.
MR. DAVE
Informant No.7 (1-13) Siguro ano, oo nagiging maingat ako yung kanina ko ngang
sinsabi na dahil sa as a teacher tayo hindi tayo basta basta pwedeng maglagay ng post sa
social media na pwedeng makasira sa atin. Ito yung mga sinsabi na “Ah teacher ka pa naman”
so yung mga ganun. Yun yung iniingatan natin at the same meron din kasi akong nababsa na
post ng teachers na hindi maganda kaya ayun natutunan kong iwasan mga ganung aspeto ng
digital self.

mas napapadali ung mga requirements at mas nagbibigay siya ng impormasyon para sa aking
paguulat, takdang aralin at presentasyon. Then, uhmm. future teacher, Magiging inobatibo
ang mga guro, dahil dito mas napapaayos nila ang pagpepresent at nakakaimpluwensya sila

Mahalaga siya kasi you're training to be a teacher, you have to be sensitive, precautious and careful
sa posts mo online. It could be a practice na rin, ang pinagkaiba naman kasi nito sa classroom setting
is mas marami yung audience mo since public siya. Tsaka since you're trainibg to be a teacher,
therefore may image ka na, and you have to be a model for everyone. Hindi pedeng kung ano ano
lang ishare and iposts mo sa FB kasi di natin masasabi some people may justify you na ay
magteteacher tas bastos sa social media ganun. Hahaha Tsaka lastly pala, ang role ng teacher is to
educate people whether sa classroom or online man.

sa social networking sites muna tayo, ano… nakakatulong ito sa pagcocommunicate ko sa ibang
tao,nakakapagshare ako ng mga information na alam ko sa sarili ko ay totoo. Nagiging updated
'din ako sa news and some information na kailangan ko malaman regarding sa school. Sa mga
iba pang apps helpfull siya kasi dito ako kumukuha ng mag ideas and learnings para madevelop

mas madali at may mabilis na daloy ng impormasyon na kung saan ay maari kong ano.. ibahagi
agad agad sa mga aking magiging estudyante, Ill use facebook or google classroom para advance

Ang lalim nung tanong, pero kase yung digital platform sa
tingin ko nagiging way siya para madevelop tayo as a person na hindi lahat ng bagay is
madaling gamitin sa umpisa parang more on metaphor yung nasa isip ko kaya nahihirapan
akong isalita siya, nahuhubog tayo neto kasi nalalaman natin na yung mundo natin syempre
digital world na rin so kung na e-expose tayo dito sa future kapag nag enhance parin yung
technology hindi na tayo mahihirapan makasabay kasi meron na tayong parang background
knowledge patungkol dun.

Ah sa in the future so siguro sakin in the future as a person nakikita ko yung sarili ko na mas less
yung pag gamit ko ng digital platforms kasi as what i've said earlier hindi siya ganon kaimportante
sakin as a person pero as a teacher mas nakikita ko yung sarili ko na kung magpopost man ako
online in the near future most like likely about na siya sa mga advocacy ko sa mga prinsipyo ko saka
kung paano ko paninindigan yung pagiging guro ko sa pamamagitan ng siguro pag uupdate or pag

umiikot….Ginagamit ko sya 3-5 hours a day…. Ginagamit ko sya

shashare ng opinion ko. Personally. Sa facebook ko kasi, dun ko
kasi naeexpress ‘yung opinion ko sa mga bagay-bagay... Sa mobile

As a Pre-Service Teacher,
what do you think are the use
Verbatin (age; gender; city/region; religion; year and section;
of digital platforms in the
and program taken)
presentation of the self?
Themes Subthemes
Bilang uhmm… isang pre service teacher, yun naipapakita ko
ang aking sarili sa kung sino talaga ako sa pamamagitan ng
… mga digital platforms na aking ginagamit ahhh…
especially sa mga mobile app na ginagamit ko ahhh.. kasi it
means na competitive ako yun nga .. dahil gusto ko na lagi
akong nananalo, sa mga social media platform… naipapakita
nito yung pakikipag interact sa mga tao gaya pagllike,
commeant, at share sa mga post ng iba and naipapakita ko rin
sa paggamit ng social media platforms yung may pakialam
ako sa mga nangyayari sa mundo especially sa ating bansa na
hindi lang ako basta basta nakikinig kundi may naisasabi din,
Use of Difital yun lang po.
Platforms in
Positive
Self- Sa ano.. po sa pag nakakakita ako ng bagong issue ano tas
Presentation nagiging aware ako sa mga dating issues din tas mga bagong
issue tas nakikita ko rin hmm mga opinions at ibat ibng stand
ng tao about sa issues den po
Reasons for
using Digital Yung pagpractice ng isang pagiging guro meron kasi tayong
Platforms in konspeto na kung gusto mo maging isang teacher ay dapat
Presenting the magpakateacher ka so we do something na tayo bilang under
Self going in training for teacher ay karapat dapat para sa atin. For
example, magpopost tayo ng mga thoughts na or mga post
na educational or yung may mga matutunan hindi naman sa
nagmumukha siyang boring pero at the same time
nakakapagshare ka ng knowledge dun sa kasama mo sa
platform.
As a Pre-Service Teacher,
what do you consider when
using digital platforms in
presenting yourself?
Oo, ahh ayun nga, nasa 21st century tayo then, siguro
malaking tulong yung mga digital flatforms, especially
google. Pero syempre may disadvantage parin, kasi yung mga
ibang source kasi, walang credibility, kung baga nakukuha
lang kung saan saan or fake news kung tinatawag…. ‘Yun
nga yung nabanggit ko, as a pre-service teacher, yung google
malaking tulong yun specially, making research. Kasi halos
lahat ng sources nandun na. diba? Then… ano pa ba.. uhmm.
Parang same nga lang din about research. Syempre yung mga
teacher nga. As future profession, di naman tayo tumitigil sa
pag aaral. So malaki parin ang maitutulong ng digital
flatforms sa pagaaral natin.
Oo naman, as pre-service teacher kasi.. uhmm.. mas relevant
ngayon yung paggamit ng mga digital platform. Sa paggawa
pa lang ng mga requirements, reports yun palang.. ano..
Necessity of Education mahalaga na siya . Di man always dapat gamitin to. Pero
Digital dapat alam pa rin natin kung saan at kung paano ang tamang
Platforms paggamit nito. Ahhh. Isang halimbawa na lang nito ay ang
paggamit ng mga sites para sa research like yung ano.. yung
pang mga rrl natin don palang malaking tulong na. tapos sa
laptop yung paggawa ng report, mas marami na kasi ang
nagamit ng powerpoint ngayon ee.
Oo naman syempre. Kailangan natin yun. Pero diba nga
kailangan lang din natin alamin kung ano yun o hanggang
saan yung limitation niya sa paggamit ng digital platforms
kasi ahmm mas mapapadali nga and also nung sinabi ko
kanina na mababawasan yung paggamit ng papel kasi diba
parang tinuturuan natin sila gumawa ng powerpoint at mas
advance sa learning natin… Ah…example nalang po, sa
teacher, example din to, since nakikita ko kasi na nag mga
future students ko ay nakakasearch sa internet so.. mapapadali
yung education don since hindi naman lahat ng lessons
napupuna natin sa loob ng eskwelahan.
Prevention
Report
Ask guidance
Communication Siguro as kabataaan din dapat ahm dapat maging ano tayo
sa mga pinopost dapat mga pinopost naten mga
makakatulong lang sa din sa ibang tao then as a way din lara
ma express naten yung sarili naten at mag bigay ng opinions
about sa issues. As a pre-service teacher naman ganun din
mas vocal at mas hmm mas dapat nakakapgbigay ng
ahmm ... ng tulong sa social media eh diba ang role naman
ng social media is ma influence naten yung madaming
Roles of audience. As a future teacher hahaha ganun din, para
Digital maaware natin yung mga tao kasi mas madali makapag
Platforms in influence ng tao lalo na sa social media kasi mas mabilis
the Person kumalat yung mga issue and always make a stand sa mga
issues at wag mag bulag bulagan sa mga issues.
Hmm… Ano ba… Ahmm kasi yung sense of responsibility
nila iba iba. Sa future Teacher. Paano ba? Iba ibang
platforms? So for example kung ako ay tao. Bilang isang
tao, ang mas ginagamit ko ay ayun, twitter, facebook,
instagram. Tapos ngayon as Pre-Service Teacher ang mas
ginagamit ngayon is puro laptop then cellphone and google.
Tapos sa future teacher din, ahhm.. syempre dapat mas
reliable ang ating mga source so mas maganda if kukuha
tayo ng mg aarticles sa google scholar.
E-Learning
Negative:
Laziness
Digital
Platforms
Dependency
Nahuhubog yung sarili ko sa paggamit ng digital self sa
paraang vise versa nakakacontribute ang nagamit at
ginagamit. Uhmm. In a way na kapag ginagamit ko yung
social media to present myself as pre service teacher, dito
nahuhubog yung confidence na hindi ko malabas kapag nasa
physical world. Then ako as pre service teacher nga
nakakacontribute ako sa tao at sa mismong social media na
uhmm.. dumadagdag ako sa mga nagbibigay ng information
sa mga users nito. Hindi lang ako yung nashe-shape ng digital
world dahil may kakayahan na din akong mang-shape ng
ibang tao.
Siguro ano, oo nagiging maingat ako yung kanina ko ngang
sinsabi na dahil sa as a teacher tayo hindi tayo basta basta
pwedeng maglagay ng post sa social media na pwedeng
makasira sa atin. Ito yung mga sinsabi na “Ah teacher ka pa
naman” so yung mga ganun. Yun yung iniingatan natin at the
same meron din kasi akong nababsa na post ng teachers na
hindi maganda kaya ayun natutunan kong iwasan mga ganung
aspeto ng digital self.
Digtal Ahhm just to make it easy sa tatlong yan I think ang pinaka
Platforms’ huhubog sa paggamit ng ahhm digital platform talaga in any
Positive:
Contribution aspect sa tatlong yan sa tingin ko is it is discipline and
in the Pre- responsibility
Service
Teacher Self- Nahuhubog ako ng digital platform as a person in a way na
Responsibilty mas nagkakaroon ako ng mas mataas na confidence
makipagsocialize sa iba't ibang tao na nasa paligid ko. As a
pre service teacher naman halos kapareho lang den pero mas
nagagamit ko kasi yung digital platforms such as social media
para makapagdisseminate ng information ng mas madali eh.
Bali hindi lang emotions ang nailalabas ko pati na den mismo
yung content ng gusto kong ipaalam sa mga tao. As a future
teacher naman it is a way to reach your students and it will
give me confidence that is needed ng mga teacher para
marelay nila yung knowledge na need ng mga students ko.
As a person kasi.. uhmmm.., mas nagiging malaya ako sa
paghahayag ng aking opinyon. mas nabibigyan ako ng boses
at pagkakataon na sabihin ung saloobin ko.Tapos sa .. ahh..
pre service teacher, nagagamit ko siya bilang search engine
ko, mas napapadali ung mga requirements at mas nagbibigay
siya ng impormasyon para sa aking paguulat, takdang aralin at
