What Works in a Pandemic?: Maximizing FB Messenger to Monitor, Assess and Evaluate Outputs of Selected SCES Grade Six Pupils
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 16, Issue 8
Abstract
This critical issue in monitoring, assessing, and evaluating learners’ outputs has led the researchers to find an alternative solution which their fellow teachers in the same grade level may benefit from. The researchers conducted an online survey via Google Form and interviews to Grade six teachers, parents, and pupils of Sta. Cruz Elementary School about their experience, perceptions and struggles in the process of monitoring, assessing, and evaluating learners’ outputs. Finding similar perceptions of teachers regarding the difficulty in checking learners’ outputs, the researchers tried an alternative way in checking outputs of their pupils. The use of Facebook messenger was commonly used for announcements and sharing of information and queries regarding the learning of the pupils and activities such as distribution and retrieval of learning materials. However, the researchers saw this app as a channel for checking outputs. They have tried asking the pupils and learners to capture their answer sheets, performance tasks and projects and send them through the teacher’s messenger via private message. The researchers used quantitative and qualitative descriptive research in gathering, interpreting, and analyzing data to determine the effectiveness and implication of the intervention. Based on the gathered data, it has been concluded that maximizing FB Messenger in monitoring, assessing, and evaluating of outputs of selected grade six learners of Sta. Cruz Elementary School is a great help for teachers, parents and learners. It helped the teachers regularly check learners’ outputs without asking the parents to come to school weekly. Some teachers, parents and learners would like to continue using this strategy as it alleviated the burden of checking accumulated answer sheets, lessened the number visits in school and allows prompt feedback to learners. Maximizing FB messenger is a very good alternative to monitor, assess and evaluate the outputs of selected grade six pupils of SCES and this intervention works this pandemic.
