Abstract

The 21st century learners are very engaged in the use of modern technology, as it is very helpful in social networking, recreation, communication and even in academic tasks. This study investigated the integration of an online learning portal, the Quipper School, to the study of Science and its effectiveness on the academic performance of the Grade 7 students. After a series of orientation, seeking permission from necessary individuals, and administering the pretest, the researcher had established 2 groups: The experimental group with Quipper School integration and the control group who received traditional method of teaching. Pretest results revealed that there was no significant difference between the control and experimental groups. At the end of the experiment, it was revealed that there was a significant difference in the post-test results between the experimental and control groups. It also showed that the experimental group achieved a mastery level in the post-test while the control group achieved near mastery level. This study concluded that the use of modern technology in the form of Quipper School is effective in improving the academic performance of the Grade 7 students. The researcher highly recommends to elementary and highschool teachers the integration of Quipper School to their teaching because it will keep their students on task wherever they are. It is also recommended that the schools must have a strong Internet connection installed so that the students will be able to access the online learning portal.
