E-Learning Mobile Application for English 8: Streamlining Strategy for Effectual Pedagogy

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Learners in this era of great technological advancements are given opportunities which could cater to their needs and interests at the same time. Gaps in teaching-learning process could be detrimental to such opportunities. Therefore, the researchers were able to develop and validate an E-learning mobile application for English 8 based on the topics in the Fourth Quarter of School Year 2017-2018 streamlined with the competencies stated in the curriculum

METHODS

The designed e-learning mobile application for English 8 used the Experimental-Descriptive Method of research. It also used pretest and posttest to be answered by Grade 7 learners. It involved observing and describing behavior without influencing it in any way, specifically in describing the level of validity and acceptability of E-learning mobile application as instructional material for English 8.

RESULTS

The results of the assessment made on the level of validity were all "Highly Valid" (HV). Similarly, the results of the assessment on the level of acceptability were all "Very Acceptable" (VA).

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the test of significant difference on the performance of the learners in their pretest and posttest, the probability value was less than the level of significance at .05. The results demonstrate that the designed E-learning mobile application for English 8 was effective because the learners improved from their pretest as seen in their posttest. Given the fact that the learners' post-test scores were higher than their pretest, this presupposes that the designed E-learning mobile application plays a very significant role in ensuring better vocabulary development, better reading comprehension, and better grammar development. It also proves that the designed E-learning mobile application has a significant impact to learners' development and can be used as instructional material for the succeeding school years.
