Abstract

This research investigated the impact of the Meta Virtual Project-based Networked Learning (Meta VPNL) model on student performance within a virtual learning environment (VLE) in the subject of The Development of Audio/Radio Media at the State University. The study aimed to address the problem of low student engagement and practical skills development in traditional VLEs. By integrating meta-learning, project-based learning (PjBL), and networked learning, the Meta VPNL model sought to enhance student engagement, collaboration, practical skills, and self-regulation. Qualitative data were collected through reflective journals, focus groups, and observations. The findings indicated that the Meta VPNL model significantly increased student engagement and motivation due to its hands-on, real-world projects. Students developed better collaboration and communication skills, with many reporting improved teamwork and problem-solving abilities. Practical skills related to the subject also showed marked improvement, demonstrating the model's effectiveness in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Furthermore, students exhibited increased self-regulation and meta-learning skills, becoming more autonomous learners. Despite these positive outcomes, challenges in time management and balancing coursework were noted, highlighting the need for additional support. The study suggests practical actions for educators, institutions, and students to enhance the learning experience. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the Meta VPNL model could offer personalized learning experiences and facilitate effective collaboration, presenting an exciting opportunity for future improvement. The Meta VPNL model proved a practical approach for enhancing student performance in VLEs.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the integration of computational thinking (CT) in developing teaching materials to enhance elementary students’ reading comprehension. Using a systematic literature review guided by PRISMA, 24 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 were analyzed, focusing on CT integration in reading instruction, the development of digital teaching materials and worksheets, and empirical evidence of effectiveness. The findings indicate that CT significantly improves reading comprehension through approaches such as story mapping, digital storytelling, gamification, and interactive worksheets, which support students in organizing ideas, identifying patterns, and constructing meaning from texts. The effectiveness is greater when CT is combined with narrative-centered learning, problem-based learning, and metacognitive strategies, as these approaches foster deeper engagement and critical thinking during the reading process. Additionally, CT-based interventions encourage active learning and promote students’ ability to interpret narrative texts more systematically. However, several limitations were identified, including small sample sizes, limited focus on interpretive comprehension, and context-specific implementations that may restrict generalizability. In conclusion, CT integration shows strong potential to improve elementary reading comprehension, but further comprehensive research is needed to explore long-term impacts, cross-cultural applicability, and the explicit integration of CT principles in literacy instruction, along with the development of standardized frameworks and teacher training programs to support effective and sustainable implementation.
