REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Related Literature

Local

Quipper is a comprehensive e-learning solution with a versatile online Learning

Management System (LMS), used worldwide, ensuring 24/7 accessibility with regular updates.

It caters to diverse teaching methods, from math drills to project-based science learning.

8
Teachers can adapt their teaching based on assessment results, distribute lessons, and access

student performance data. They can also add their own content. Students enjoy on-demand

access to lessons, gamified learning, and the ability to revisit content until mastery. Parents can

oversee assignments, monitor progress, and manage multiple children through a single Quipper

account. In essence, Quipper offers a holistic and flexible e-learning experience (Quipper

Philippines, 2018).

Through online classroom environments, Learning Management Systems (LMS)

promote the learning process. A typical LMS fosters an inclusive learning environment for

academic advancement by incorporating frameworks that enable online collaborative-

groupings, professional training, discussions, and communication among other LMS users

(Bradley, Vaughn Malcolm, 2021).

A learning management system can improve instruction and encourage adoption of this

for technology to be successfully applied in higher education, users must learn it. (M. Fearnly

& J. Amora, 2020)

International

E-learning is a system that provides time flexibility to the students for their learning and

motivates students to perform their work without others’ support. It is also observed that

students feel comfort in browsing and surfing the internet. (Salamat, P., Ahmad, L., Bakht G. I.,

Saifi, D. L., 2018)

Fauziana (2020) asserts that students can review their lessons by watching teacher-made

videos and obtaining information from books or the internet to deepen their understanding.

According to Hazwani, Noor Raudhiah and Norziah (2020), not all students and

organisations enjoy e-learning. To ensure that e-learning can be used extensively, independently,

and to the greatest effect, it is important to identify which factors affect its use. E-learning also

demands that users be more self-motivated to learn.

Related Studies

The study was used to determine the effectiveness of Blended Method by using the

Quipper Application in teaching ICT subjects. Blended learning refers to learning models that

combine traditional classroom practice together with e-learning solutions. Quipper Philippines

has partnered with the Department of Education to provide teachers with a platform where they

can access a content library and to be able to send ready-made lessons, quizzes, exams and to

provide real-time data on student performance. (Felstead, P.M.P., 2018)

Mulyono (2019) highlights that Quipper distinguishes itself from other web-based

learning management systems, such as Moodle, Claroline, ATutor, Omeka, and Docebo, in

10
several ways. Unlike these alternatives, Quipper provides teachers and students with a readily

available web-based learning system that can be easily installed on an existing hosting site or

web server.

According to the study of Mobo, F. & Sabado, G., (2019), E-learning education offers

flexibility, allowing students to balance study and work. The platform is user-friendly and well-

designed, making it easy to study and respond to online activities. Most respondents found e-

learning helpful in answering quizzes, aligning subjects, and addressing doubts, despite some

students' uncertainty.

International

The author asserts that Quipper School, which has just been adopted, is the finest e-

learning platform for teaching English because of more positive comments. According to the

authors, students are passionate about using Quipper School and are typically happy with it,

which relates to the second study question concerning the benefits and drawbacks of Quipper

School. (Ramadhona, N., Putri, A.A., Wuisan, D.S.S., 2022)

This study is also built upon the research conducted by Setyanida (2019), where it was

affirmed that Quipper offers advantages as a tool for teaching English to junior high school

students. Additionally, Setyanida's work explained the functionality of the Quipper Application

in the context of English education at the Junior High School level. Setyanida's investigation

focused on identifying the specific benefits of employing Quipper School as a means of

teaching English to Junior High School students.

According to a prior study by Sasmita (2020), most students were enthusiastic about

using Quipper School as a teaching tool in the classroom. Self-evaluation, accessibility, and

current content were some of Quipper School's best qualities. They felt at ease learning English
11
as a result, which encouraged them to study.

METHODOLOGY

Research Design

In this study, the researchers aim to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of

Quipper as an online learning platform for Junior High School (JHS) students at LCC-Isabela.

The research design incorporates both descriptive and correlation methodologies to provide a

detailed understanding of the platform's performance and its potential impact on students.

The descriptive aspect of the research involves systematically gathering and analyzing

data to describe the current state of Quipper usage among JHS students at LCC-Isabela. This

includes assessing factors such as frequency of use, user engagement, and overall satisfaction

with the platform.

The correlation component focuses on exploring relationships between different

variables related to Quipper usage and students' academic performance or learning outcomes.

Specifically, we will examine correlations between variables such as learning engagement,

perceived quality of educational content, and accessibility/adaptability of Quipper.

By combining descriptive and correlation research designs, this study aims to provide a

comprehensive overview of Quipper's effectiveness in the context of LCC-Isabela's Junior

High School education. The findings will offer valuable insights for educators, administrators,

and platform developers, helping to optimize the integration and utilization of online learning

tools in the educational setting.

The Sample

Raosoft suggests that a sample size of 64, comprising 32 participants from both the St.

13
Clare and St. Rita sections, holds statistical significance and is structured to achieve a

balanced representation. Ensuring fairness in this approach assures an unbiased evaluation of

Quipper's effectiveness, minimizing the potential for biases that may result from focusing

solely on one section

The researchers opted for systematic random sampling, a methodical process that

involves counting respondents from each section from 1 to 32. Those not included in the count

are excluded from the study. This meticulous approach to sampling enhances the study's

precision, allowing for a comprehensive and unbiased exploration of students' experiences

with Quipper across both St. Clare and St. Rita sections.

The Instrument(s)

In this investigation, the researcher employed traditional paper-based survey

questionnaires. These questionnaires consist of a systematically organized set of survey items

precisely designed to gather responses from Grade 7 students at La Consolacion College-

Isabela. To gather student assessments effectively, the Likert Scale was utilized, with each

question tailored to an appropriate scale. This involved the use of a 4-point scale

encompassing response options like "Strongly Disagree," "Disagree," "Agree," and "Strongly

Agree." This survey is structured around three main themes: enhancing learning through

Quipper, evaluating the quality of educational content available, and assessing the platform's

accessibility and adaptability. Within each theme, there are six specific survey items,

culminating in a total of 18 carefully formulated survey items.

Data Collection Procedure

The researchers initiated a formal letter of approval addressed to the advisers of

Junior High School students, specifically Ms. Mighty Grace Gonzaga of St. Clare and Mr. Ira

James De Juan of St. Rita. In this communication, the researchers formally requested

14
permission for their respective students to participate as respondents in the study. The letter,

duly acknowledged and signed by the school's Chancellor, Sr. Delia Juliano, OSA, MAEM,

and Research Adviser, Ms. Christine Joy Awacay, signifies official authorization and support

for the research endeavor.

Additionally, the researchers prioritized transparency and ethical consideration by

distinctly detailing the study's purpose, objectives, and methodology. After obtaining needed

approval, the researchers proceeded to create a detailed survey questionnaire. The

questionnaire is structured around three core themes: the enhancement of learning through

Quipper, the quality of educational content available on the platform, and its accessibility and

adaptability. Within each theme, there are six specific survey items, culminating in a total of

18 carefully formulated survey items. The comprehensive elements of this detailed

questionnaire aim to thoroughly investigate diverse aspects of students' engagements with

Quipper, guaranteeing an in-depth and insightful analysis of the collected data.

After the Research Adviser reviewed the questionnaires, the research team, divided

into two groups (5 members for St. Clare and 6 members for St. Rita), initiated the survey

phase. The commencement of the survey involved presenting the respondents with a letter of

approval, outlining the research title, objectives, and ensuring the confidentiality of the

students. The researchers effectively carried out a survey, with active participation and

coordination from the respondents.

Data Analysis

After conducting the survey, the researchers carefully looked at the responses from the

Likert Scale, which included categories like Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, and Strongly

Disagree. They calculated the average for each theme—Learning Enhancement of Quipper,

Quality of Educational Content, and Accessibility and Adaptability of the platform—based on

15
the six survey items under each theme. The researchers then figured out the overall mean and

standard deviation for each theme to gauge the Effectiveness Level of Using Quipper.

To add more depth to the analysis, the researchers also considered the distribution of

responses and calculated the median for each theme. This provided additional insights into the

central tendencies of the data for each specific area. Armed with these statistics, the

researchers moved on to using Spearman Rank correlation analyses to investigate any

potential relationships between perceived effectiveness levels in using Quipper across the

three themes.

The correlation coefficients obtained were then interpreted to see if there is a

statistically significant relationship between how participants perceived the effectiveness in

Learning Enhancement, Quality of Educational Content, and Accessibility and Adaptability of

Quipper. This straightforward approach aimed to uncover connections between different

aspects of Quipper usage, offering a clearer picture of its impact on the participants surveyed.

Perception

In this study, the independent variables include the Quipper Engagement

Level, representing the degree of interaction and involvement of students and

educators with the Quipper platform; Educational Content Perception, capturing

users' perceptions of the quality and relevance of educational content on Quipper;

and Usability and Accessibility Ratings, reflecting the perceived ease of use and

accessibility evaluated by both educators and students. These variables are

considered independent as they are expected to influence or impact the dependent

variables.

On the other hand, the dependent variables encompass Learning Outcomes

Improvement, focusing on the extent to which educational achievements and

outcomes have improved due to Quipper usage, and Enhanced

Accessibility/Adaptability, measuring the improvement in accessibility and

adaptability based on users' experiences and perceptions. These dependent

variables are anticipated to be influenced by the independent variables, emphasizing

the interconnected relationship between engagement, content perception, and

usability/accessibility in determining the effectiveness of the Quipper platform in an

educational context. The results of the study reveal a notable correlation between

28
heightened engagement with Quipper, positive perceptions of educational content,

and higher usability and accessibility ratings. These interconnected factors play a

crucial role in enhancing learning outcomes and the overall accessibility/adaptability

of the Quipper platform. The findings highlight the collective impact of engagement,

content perception, and usability on the effectiveness of online learning platforms,

emphasizing their significance in educational settings.

Conclusions

In conclusion, the Spearman rank correlation coefficient analysis reveals

significant associations among crucial variables in the context of Quipper, an online

learning platform. The study indicates that as students' learning engagement with

Quipper increases, there is a simultaneous improvement in their perception of the

platform's educational content. This positive correlation highlights the importance of

learning engagement in influencing the perceived quality of educational materials.

Additionally, the research finds a positive correlation between learning

engagement and the accessibility/adaptability of Quipper. This suggests that higher

levels of engagement are linked to an increased sense of accessibility and adaptability

when using the platform. Moreover, a notable correlation is identified between the

positive perception of educational content and the enhanced accessibility/adaptability

of Quipper. This emphasizes the interconnected nature of content quality and the

platform's usability, indicating that a positive perception of content is associated with

improved accessibility and adaptability.

These findings provide valuable insights for educators, administrators, and

developers, underscoring the need to consider and enhance learning engagement,

educational content quality, and platform accessibility when evaluating and improving

the effectiveness of online learning platforms like Quipper in educational settings.

Recommendations

30
1. The researcher suggests that the school should establish a system for regular

monitoring and evaluation of Quipper usage to gauge its effectiveness in meeting

educational goals.

2. The researchers recommend that school should offer guidance and support to

students who may encounter technical difficulties using Quipper. To ensure that

they have the necessary resources to navigate the platform effectively.

3. Given that not all Grade 7 students have access to gadgets, the researchers suggest

that school should implement plans to ensure equitable access to Quipper,

considering economic differences among Junior High School students.

4. On Quipper, they should implement more strategies to enhance student

engagement. This may include incorporating more interactive elements,

multimedia resources, and collaborative assignments.

5. The researchers recommend promoting communication between teachers and

parents regarding the use of Quipper. Keeping parents informed about how the

platform is used in the classroom and encourage their support at home.

6. Teachers must instruct students to regularly check updates and announcement on

Quipper. This ensures that they will stay informed about new assignment,

resources, or changes in the platform.

7. Emphasize the importance of active participation in Quipper discussion, quizzes,

and collaborative activities. Engagement contributes to a richer learning

experience.

8. Promote balanced approach to technology use. While Quipper is a valuable tool,

encourage students to supplement their learning with offline activities such as

reading, research, and hands-on projects.

31
9. The researcher suggest to the future researcher who would like to conduct the

same research that it is too important to know the students preferences as an

online learning platform.

10. Educational institutions should prioritize increasing students' access to reliable

internet services for academic purposes.
