Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the paradigm of traditional education to alternative learning modalities. One of these changes was the use of blended learning in the educational system. Blended learning is a pedagogical approach that combines face-to-face instruction with online learning as a viable solution to address the challenges introduced by the pandemic. The approach began to gain popularity in the Philippines during the post-pandemic period. The use of ICT to facilitate distance learning was emphasized during the lockdown period. As COVID-19 cases declined and classes started re-opening, adherence to health protocols, such as social distancing, was implemented. In this regard, limitations in the class population and outside exposure were addressed by the blended learning approach. Hence, this review article reiterates the pedagogical perspective of blended learning in the educational system during the global and local health crises. This paper reviews the nature of blended learning in the educational system by examining the various theories and models used, more specifically focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of blended learning in basic education. The reiteration of blended learning during the pandemic and related studies are also some focal points of this review article. In brief, blended learning refines the traditional modalities used in the educational system into something suitable for post-pandemic. It integrates the use of digital materials to create a more effective and engaging mode of delivery for learning. With these insights, the development of blended learning is inevitable in the education sector.

Abstract

Extensive research shows that higher self-efficacy is associated with increased motivation, perseverance, and academic success; however, there is a notable gap in understanding how these constructs interact within the unique context of Libyan higher education. This study explores the relationship between self-efficacy and motivation among university students in Libya, where cultural norms, Islamic principles, and socio-political factors deeply influence educational practices. To address this issue, the study employed a cross-sectional design and collected data through self-administered questionnaires from students at major universities in Libya. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression techniques to examine the strength and direction of the relationship between self-efficacy and student motivation. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between these two variables, indicating that students with higher levels of self-efficacy are more motivated in their academic pursuits. Furthermore, the multiple regression analysis identified self-efficacy as a significant predictor of student motivation, explaining 46% of the variance observed in the sample. These results underscore the critical role of self-efficacy in fostering student motivation within the Libyan educational context. The findings suggest that targeted interventions to enhance self-efficacy could significantly improve educational outcomes. The findings provide a foundation for future research and the development of educational strategies tailored to the specific needs of Libyan students, thus contributing valuable insights to the broader literature on self-efficacy and motivation in higher education.

Abstract

This study determined the effectiveness of the academic performance of Grade 11 learners using the Mathematics Gamified Application for Learner's Interactive Numeracy Growth (Math-GALING). This study used a quasi-experimental design. The participants of the study were selected through a match-pairing technique based on the results of their pretest among Grade 11 students, resulting in 29 pairs. These two groups of students, one from the Accountancy, Business, and Management strand and the other from the Humanities and Social Sciences strand, comprised the experimental and comparison groups, respectively. The participants' pretest, posttest, and formative test performances was evaluated using the mean and standard deviation. Similar to how independent t-tests were used to quantify the extent of the difference between two sets of scores, Cohen’s d was used to determine the significance of the difference between the pretest and posttest results. The salient findings from the data were as follows: there is always an opportunity for improvement, particularly when the goal is to enhance teaching and learning processes to provide students with quality education. This study could conclude that using a gamified learning application (Math-GALING) in the teaching of statistics and probability enhanced learners’ performances. It was found that the designed gamified learning application enhanced students’ academic performances.

Abstract

Despite great efforts by the Department of Education, the Philippines during the 2022–2023 period exhibits one of the narrowest disparities in arithmetic performance between students in the highest and lowest quartiles of the economic, social, and cultural status index. This insight motivates the current study’s goal of developing material that will help enhance the student's performance in mathematics. This study developed Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) to enhance the learners’ performance in mathematics among 9th graders of Don Jose Integrated High School in the City of Santa Rosa, Laguna. The SIM was designed to help the selected 62 participants learn geometry competency. A quasi-experimental research method was employed in this study to determine whether intervention materials improved mathematics learners’ performance. The analysis of pretest, formative test, and post-test performances in both the experimental and comparison groups provides a comprehensive look at the impact of educational interventions. Hence, there is a statistically significant difference between the pretest, formative, and post-test scores in enhancing learners’ mathematics performance with the use of strategic intervention material. The use of Strategic Intervention Material promotes active learning and engagement among learners; thus, it can be used to help students with mathematics anxiety. Results showed that SIM effectively enhances learners’ mathematics performance based on the mean, standard deviation, independent sample t-test, and Cohen’s d. Moreover, the subjects demonstrated positive behavior toward the intervention. This entails cutting down on improper behavior, spending more time on instruction, and assisting instructors in teaching, modeling, and meeting students’ needs.

Abstract

With the rise of blended learning, assessing the factors influencing student academic performance has become essential. Teaching effectiveness is a critical component of this dynamic, potentially affecting students’ academic success. This study examines the relationship between teaching effectiveness and the academic performance of students engaged in blended learning environments. The primary objective of this research was to determine whether a significant relationship exists between teaching effectiveness and student academic performance. Specifically, this study evaluated various aspects of teaching effectiveness, including the learning environment and instructional practices, and their impact on student achievement. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, using Simple Random Sampling to select 297 student respondents from the records provided by the university registrar’s office. The study measured teaching effectiveness using the university’s standardized School Form (SF) 7, while students’ academic performance was gauged via their general weighted average for the 2022-2023 academic year. Data analysis included calculating the mean and standard deviation to determine the levels of teaching effectiveness and academic performance, with Pearson’s r used to assess the correlation between these variables. The results indicated that the learning environment aspect of teaching effectiveness scored the highest, while instructional and assessment practices scored the lowest. Overall, teaching effectiveness was rated "Very Satisfactory." A significant positive correlation was identified between teaching effectiveness and student academic performance, thus contradicting the null hypothesis. The findings underscore a strong, consistent positive relationship among the various dimensions of teaching effectiveness, revealing that effective teaching in one area is linked with higher effectiveness in others. This interconnectedness highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to enhancing teaching practices and suggests that improvements in teaching effectiveness can lead to better academic outcomes in blended learning contexts.
