UTILIZATION OF E-LEARNING MODULES AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

OF GRADE 5 LEARNERS IN CAMBATUTAY VIEJO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

I. INTRODUCTION and RATIONALE

Higher educational institutions

(HEIs) are mandated to
produce highly skilled and
competent
graduates in their field of
specialization. In order to
realize the said mandate, the
Commission
on Higher Education (CHED)
as a leading agency in ensuring
quality higher education has
set
minimum standards in the
course offering of every
colleges and universities in the
Philippines
comparable to international
standards. This means that

E-Learning stands for

Learning modules can include
text, images, videos,
quizzes, questionnaires, PDFs

related resources. In layman’s
terms, it means that they can

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

The implementation of the K-12 curriculum changes the landscape of the basic

education system in the Philippines. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12

years of basic education. K-12 curriculum provides sufficient time for mastery of

concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare the students to graduate and

be ready for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and

entrepreneurship (Philippine Official Gazette, 2015).To ensure the success of the K-12

curriculum, three agencies in the government work hand in hand which include the

Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the

Technical Skills Development Authority (TESDA). According to Campbell et al

(2013), it is important that teachers learn to utilize a variety of teaching

methodologies in order to cater for the range of learning needs and requirements

that are present within most class environments. These are what we call innovative

strategies in the classroom which include cooperative learning through group dynamics

and activities, blended learning (combination of online learning and traditional face-face

learning, Modular instruction or individualized learning, E-Learning and many

others.AmTec.org, (2013) defines a module as a unit of work in a course of instruction

that is self-contained and a method of teaching that is based on the building up skills and

knowledge in discrete units. It is exactly the same as a regular college course, only
 smaller. Each module teaches a specific skill or knowledge area and takes only three to

eight weeks to complete. Modular teaching is one of the most widespread and

recognized teaching- learning techniques in United States, Australia and many

other Western countries including Asian region. All kinds of subjects are being

taught through modules. It is a recent development based on programmed learning; a

well-established and universally recognized phenomenon. It is considering the individual

differences among the learners which necessitate the planning for adoption of the most

appropriate teaching techniques in order to help the individual grow and develop at

her/his own pace (Educational Technology, 2011). Moreover Balderas, (2012) stated

that in the present time, modular instruction has evolved from printed to E-Learning

module as an emerging approach to learning. These two modes of modular instruction

have been used in the Philippines today. They are used as enrichment or

supplementary instructional materials for learning concepts and skills, or as remedial

instruction are necessary for slow learners and as advance instruction for the fast and

highly motivated ones. [9]E-Learning Help (2013) discussed and described E-

Learning: E-learning can be defined as the use of computer and Internet technologies

to deliver a broad array of solutions to enable learning and improve performance. E-

Learning Module is a tool that provides course materials in a logical, sequential,

order, guiding students through the content and assessments in the order specified

by the instructor. Instructors can insert formatted text, files, web links, Discussion

Topics, Assignments, Tests & Quizzes, and Assessments and soon. Content can be

structured in such a way as to require students to complete content before they are

allowed to proceed to the next content. It is also possible for instructors to set up a place

for students to add content to the Learning Module. Parallel to this, Learning Pool

(2013) presented a number of benefits of using E-Learning module as an

instructional material.

performance?

4. What intervention may be proposed based on the findings of the criteria research?

IV. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

This general focus of the study was on the utilization of e-learning modules and academic

performance of Grade 5 learners in Cambatutay Viejo Elementary School of the school year

2021-2022. The study covered the level of utilization of e-learning modules in terms of

during the first quarter of the school year 2021-2022. The intervention was being proposed

based on the findings of the criteria research.

V. RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES

This study is a developmental research utilizing the E-Learning Modules and Academic

Performance of Grade 5 Learners in Cambatutay Viejo Elementary School. The level of

utilization of e-learning modules in terms of: frequency of use, number of accomplished

modules and time retrieval was conducted through giving of survey questionnaire to the

17 Grade 5 learners of Cambatutay Viejo Elementary School. The data in findings the

academic performance of Grade 5 learners was gathered through the documentary

analysis to determine the general average of the learners during first quarter of the school

year 2021-2022.
