Improving Learners Achievement through E-Learning

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The learning experience in basic education has shifted paradigms from an instructor-focused approach to learner-centered pedagogical methods (Hsu & Wolfe, 2003). Educational technologies such as multimedia presentations, simulation methods, online courses, and computer-assisted case-based instruction are becoming commonplace. Moreover, multimedia has been one of the most well-known and effective training tools and was referred to as the technological wave of the future (Harris, 2013). This is the answer to the call of the Department of Education to make the classroom an E-classroom which is the goal of the Department Order No. 78 s. 2010.

METHODS

The study utilized the use of experimental research design. The respondents were the Grade 11 ICT students chosen purposively by the researcher. Teacher-made tests (pre-test and post-test) were made to determine the effectiveness of the proposed materials. The data gathered from the respondents were treated statistically using the arithmetic mean, standard deviation and T-test.

RESULTS

The significant difference in pretest and posttest scores of the control and experimental groups was noted. It was analyzed that there is a significant difference between the pre and posts tests since the mean value of pretest 14.71 increased to 28.75 as posttest mean value. On the other hand, the pretest result of the experimental group gained a mean value of13.72 and improved to 31.44 mean value as the result of the posttest. Also, the computation revealed that the p-value 0.000 is lower than the t-ratio value of 15.51 which shows a significant difference between the two tests given to the student respondents.

DISCUSSIONS

The results imply that the respondents have increased performance after they were exposed to the E-learning material. This enlightens the researcher to further improve the material so that it will apply to all types of learners.
