DIGITAL SUPPLEMENTAL LEARNING PACKAGE IN ARALING PANLIPUNAN 10

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the significant effects of the digital supplemental learning package in Araling Panlipunan as an educational tool for improving students’ performance. It specifically sought to answer the mean level of assessment of using a digital supplemental learning package in terms of content quality, instructional quality, and technical quality; the mean level of the students’ performance in terms of pre-test; and post-test; the significant difference in the students’ performance in terms of pre-test; and post-test; and the significant effect of using a digital supplemental learning package in Araling Panlipunan as an alternative educational tool in improving the students’ performance.

      The statistical treatment of gathered data reveals the following findings:

The respondents responded very high level of assessment in terms of content quality, instructional quality, and technical quality which can imply that the digital learning package can be used as an alternative educational tool in teaching and learning Araling Panlipunan 10. Respondents are satisfied with the result, which can be inferred that it is great to use it for teaching the subject matter. The results reveal that the students achieve satisfactory performance in the pre-test while an outstanding performance is obtained in the post-test. The learners’ scores improve during the post-test which indicates that the developed material can contribute to the students’ performance. The significant difference in students’ performance in terms of pre-test and post-test is observed to have a significant difference based on all descriptors. Findings also revealed that as observed from the beta coefficients, whenever there is a unit increase using a digital supplemental learning package as an alternative tool in teaching, the performance of the students did not increase as depicted by negative values.

Thus, the research hypothesis stating that “There is no significant difference in the students’ performance in terms of pre-test; and post-test” is rejected. And the research hypothesis stating that “There is no significant effect of using a digital supplemental learning package in Araling Panlipunan ten in improving students’ performance” is accepted.

In view of the findings and conclusions of the study, it is recommended that further evaluation and validation studies of this digital supplemental learning package may be done through an experimental design to other different learning modalities and learning competencies, as research demonstrates that this learning material is acceptable in terms of content quality, instructional quality, and technical quality. It improves the students' performance in terms of pre-test and post-test.
