Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to determine the effect of asynchronous learning to academic performance and students’ motivation towards Science. It is necessary since motivation serves as a foundation for better understanding of science concepts in an asynchronous setting. The respondents are 201 grade 11 students of Iligan Computer Institute (ICI) who are enrolled during the Academic Year 2020-2021. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model was used in the study for the development of asynchronous lesson on Genetic Engineering with Google Classroom as the online platform. The research utilized SMTSL (Students Motivation Towards Science Learning) questionnaire developed by Tuan, et al. (2005) composed of 35 questions encompassing six (6) domains of motivation namely, self-efficacy, active learning strategies, science learning value, performance goal, achievement goal and learning environment stimulation. Quantitative data together with qualitative analysis showed that students are moderately motivated towards science learning in an asynchronous environment. The highest identified domain is science learning value indicating that students find the relevance of science with daily life which makes them motivated to learn science even in a remote learning environment where there is no direct contact and supervision. In contrast, self-efficacy and performance goal are the least domains suggesting that students are least concerned with their own ability to perform well in science learning tasks and they do not compete with other students and get attention from the teacher. Using the researcher-made achievement test and performance task to measure their academic performance, 80% of the students belong to approaching proficiency, proficient and advanced groups showing that students did well in science in an asynchronous learning environment.  Moreover, students’ motivation was significantly correlated with science academic performance so science academic performance can be used as indirect evidence of students’ motivation. Based on these findings, it is recommended that curriculum experts and educators consider factors of motivation in revisiting the science curriculum in an asynchronous environment.

Abstract

This study examined the effects of contextualized lessons using agricultural concepts on the level of proficiency of Grade 8 students in probability. The study employed a triangulation method by gathering data through the pretest and posttest results, students’ perceptions, and the teacher’s reflections. A total of 36 students whose families engaged in agricultural activities were purposefully chosen and were categorized into four proficiency levels: advanced proficient, proficient, approaching proficient, and developing proficient, based on their average grades in mathematics from the first and second quarters. The intervention employed contextualized lessons that integrated agricultural concepts to facilitate the teaching of probability to a group with varied proficiency levels. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ performance between the pretest and posttest across all proficiency levels. However, the developing proficient group encountered challenges, particularly with simplifying fractions, affecting their overall performance. This study concludes that while contextualizing mathematics using agriculture improves students’ engagement, performance, and understanding of probability, students with lower proficiency levels require additional support with mastering fractions skills. Therefore, this study suggested that teachers integrate practical, real-world contexts, like agricultural concepts, and acknowledge its varying effects on students depending on their proficiency levels.
