Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the effectiveness of Grammarly as an Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) tool for improving the writing skills of English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Drawing on 10 studies published between 2018 and 2024, the review assesses Grammarly’s key features, benefits, and limitations. Results show that Grammarly significantly reduces grammatical errors, enhances students’ writing confidence, and fosters autonomous learning. However, challenges such as over-reliance on the tool and its limited capacity to provide comprehensive feedback on higher-order writing skills remain. The review underscores the need for further research into Grammarly’s long-term effects on writing development, particularly its efficacy across various academic disciplines and contexts.

Abstract

The study aimed to enhance criminology students’ mathematics problem-solving abilities using a criminology-based word problem strategy (CBWPS) and to explore their experiences and coping mech-anisms with this approach. Employing a mixed-method explanatory sequential design, the quantitative phase utilized a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest framework with 38 partici-pants, while the qualitative phase involved phenomenological in-depth interviews with 10 students. Results revealed a significant im-provement in students' problem-solving skills, with a marked in-crease in post-test scores compared to pre-test results (mean gain: 8.11, p<0.05). The intervention fostered critical thinking and en-gagement by contextualizing mathematical concepts in criminology scenarios, making learning more relevant. However, students faced challenges such as unfamiliar terminologies and difficulties with complex calculations. They coped by analyzing problems carefully and drawing motivation from their aspirations. The study recommends training mathematics educators in implementing CBWPS and inte-grating such strategies into criminology curricula to enhance analyti-cal skills and professional preparedness.

Abstract

Calculus is a foundational discipline critical for both academic and professional growth. This study, conducted at a state college in Davao de Oro, Philippines, sought to develop Strategic Intervention Materials (SIMs) to address key challenges in Calculus I. Utilizing a developmental research design, the study followed a modified ADD model comprising three stages: analysis, design, and development. Participants included 44 prospective mathematics teachers, selected through random sampling, and five experts in mathematics education and instructional material development. Data collection involved a survey to identify the least mastered topics and validation sheets. The study identified specific areas of difficulty, including Maxima and Minima, Derivatives of Logarithmic and Exponential Functions, Functions with Arguments Approaching Infinity, Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions, Antiderivatives of Algebraic Functions, and the Constant of Integration. The resulting SIMs were evaluated and demonstrated outstanding content validity, face validity, clarity of presentation, logical organization, accuracy, and relevance. Calculus instructors are encouraged to integrate these SIMs into their curriculum to enhance student understanding in these challenging areas. The study further recommends that calculus teachers employ varied, research-based methodologies to effectively bridge learning gaps in calculus, ultimately fostering a more comprehensive grasp of fundamental calculus concepts.
