PERCEIVED EFFECTIVENESS ON THE UTILIZATION OF DIGITAL PEDAGOGIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Education

This study investigates the perceived effectiveness and utilization of digital pedagogies at North Eastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU) Tandag Campus through a mixed-methods approach using an explanatory sequential design. The primary purpose is to determine how digital tools impact educational outcomes while identifying barriers to integration. Quantitative data were collected via the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) survey, targeting randomly selected faculty and students from diverse academic departments. This is complemented by qualitative insights gathered through in-depth interviews allowing for a deeper exploration of challenges faced in implementing digital technologies. Results indicate that while digital pedagogies are perceived as effective in enhancing educational experiences, significant barriers such as technical challenges, access disparities, and inadequate professional development persist. Digital tools are essential in education, enhancing engagement, personalizing learning, and improving collaboration. However, challenges like access disparities and inadequate training must be addressed for effective integration. Hence, NEMSU shall implement quarterly workshops for educators focusing on digital tools, enhance technical infrastructure, and ensure equitable access to resources. Targeted professional development must prioritize interactive learning and address challenges to maximize the effectiveness of digital pedagogies for all students.
