As Guronasyon Foundation Incorporated National High School (GFINHS) adheres to promoting resiliency as stipulated in DepEd Order no. 12, s. 2020 or the Adoption of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan for School Year 2020 – 2021 In light of the COVID -19 Public Health Emergency, Project CONECT (Create Open- Source Networks to Empower Classes using Technology) was instituted during Second Quarter of School 2021–2022. The project aimed to digitize education using open sources or free platforms to empower the teaching-learning experience. Further, it intended on bridging the digital divide caused by limited connectivity.
For this study, an evaluation was created to conclude the acceptability and improvement of the project itself. Quantitative- descriptive research design was utilized and purposive sampling technique was used to determine and monitor 30 participants. A modified survey questionnaire was provided to gauge respondents perspective on the efficacy of project, quality of learning resources, and ease for the platform used. Also, feedbacks were collected for further improvement.
In result, respondents rated Project CONECT as Very Much Acceptable on all aspects (average ratings exceeded 4.0 on a 5-point scale). To add, most of them envisioned to continue project implementation. Acceptability ratings explained that the project is very much acceptable in terms of quality of learning resources and efficacy of implementation. Thus, despite evidence that the project is effective, the intervention could be more robust by increasing the supposed free usage per week, expanding to areas of connection, uploading other supplemental learning resources, and a more appealing platform.
Once the Project CONECT expands, it can further support self- paced learning. It may also address the breadth of learning needs during the pandemic by supporting continuity of competency development and making each students life- long learners.
