UTILIZATION OF THE MOODLE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN SORSOGON, PHILIPPINES

Technology in Mathematics Education

Private educational institutions in the Philippines employed MOODLE Learning Management System (LMS) to improve learning during the pandemic. This descriptive research explored how the purposively selected 31 private school mathematics teachers utilize MOODLE for instruction. Through a self-made instrument and interview, the study involved the key informants’ mathematics teachers in 6 private high schools in Sorsogon City, Philippines. The study revealed that most of the teachers (n=31) know and can utilize the content management feature of MOODLE. While at least more than half of them know its assessment management, only less than half can utilize this feature. Moreover, less than half of them have the knowledge and can utilize its Grading & Feedback tools. Additionally, the teachers have learned many content management tools but only a few learned assessment and feedback tools through LMS training. In preparing their lesson content, they utilize the tools in MOODLE but they struggle in inserting common equations in the teaching of mathematics. This paper recommends that to maximize the utilization of the significant features of the LMS, the training provider should consider the time, the tools, and the quality of the delivery of the content beneficial to the diverse type of students.
