Rationale

Addressing educational challenges through innovative technology solutions

Background and Challenges

To continuously enhance learners' performance, Zamboanga Sibugay Division implements innovative strategies to address academic challenges. One such initiative is the SIKAP Project (Sapat at Inobatibong Kaalaman na Angkop sa Pagpapaunlad sa Pagbasa at Pagkwenta), designed to strengthen literacy and numeracy instruction.

As part of SIKAP, the division has developed contextualized instructional materials to support diverse learners. These include lesson guides tailored to different proficiency levels, GIYA sa Pagbasa, focusing on phonemic awareness and phonics, GIYA for Reading Comprehension, featuring well-structured questions that assess various levels of comprehension, and Instructional videos to make teaching and learning more engaging and meaningful.

Beyond SIKAP, the division has also led efforts to contextualize additional learning resources such as lesson exemplars, modules, slide decks, session guides, and storybooks. However, many recipient schools and teachers struggled to access them. Some were unaware of their availability, while others found it difficult to locate the materials due to how these were distributed and the limited internet connectivity in rural areas of this division.

Assessment Results

Despite various initiatives, the latest National Achievement Test (NAT) results revealed persistently low proficiency levels across most subjects, including the results of CRLA, Phil-IRI and RMA. These results underscore the urgent need for continuous improvement and more strategic interventions to enhance learning outcomes.

The Solution: MoodleSync

To continuously explore opportunities to improve instructions, this division proposes a technology-based project called MOODLESYNC: ALL-IN-ONE PLATFORM for teaching and Learning. This is designed to streamline digital learning and support for all stakeholders. This is an enhanced system of what the division has started.

MoodleSync serves as a centralized repository for all contextualized instructional materials, assessment tools, and other learning resources including interactive materials such as gamified activities, ensuring easy access for all schools. This is a combination/integration of Moodle and Open Learning Management System. It also features built-in item analysis capabilities, enabling educators to efficiently evaluate student performance.

Platform Features

Comprehensive tools designed to enhance teaching and learning across Zamboanga Sibugay Division

Centralized Repository

Comprehensive collection of learning materials including contextualized modules, PISA front learners' materials, lesson guides, slide decks, video lessons, stories, interactive activities like games and assessments, as well as quarterly exams. Resources from platforms like Front Learners, Khan Academy, and similar sources are accessible both online and offline.

Auto-Calculate MPS

Built-in tool to automatically calculate Mean Percentage Scores (MPS) to assess proficiency levels by grade and subject. The system tracks MPS to help schools, districts and division office quickly view assessment results through a user-friendly dashboard. Division Office no longer needs to ask for MPS every quarter as it is available in the system.

Item Analysis & Least Learned

Built-in item analysis tool to analyze student performance, making it easy to identify the least mastered skills for targeted remediation. The system automatically identifies competencies per learning area which are not mastered, enabling educators to provide targeted instructional support.

Assessment Tracking

Track and compare results from unified quarterly exams, CRLA (Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment), Phil-IRI (Philippine Informal Reading Inventory), and RMA (Reading and Mathematics Assessment). The unified diagnostic and quarterly assessments go through reliability and validity tests to ensure consistent and accurate results.

Online & Offline Mode

Designed for both online and offline use, ensuring schools with limited or no internet connectivity can fully utilize all resources and features of the platform. Schools can download materials for offline access, making the system accessible even in remote areas with poor connectivity.

AI-Driven Content

Users can effortlessly generate rich, interactive materials using Moodle 4.5 with AI-driven content creation. Students benefit from adaptive learning experiences tailored to their progress. The AI subsystem enhances personalization, engagement, and efficiency in learning.

User-Friendly Dashboard

Easy to use system with all essential data available on a clear and accessible dashboard. A guidebook with step-by-step instructions is provided to ensure everyone can make the most of its features. Schools, districts and division office can quickly view assessment results and performance metrics.

Interactive Activities

Engage learners with gamified activities, quizzes, discussion forums, and multimedia exercises that make lessons more interactive and meaningful. The platform supports various interactive learning tools including discussion boards, chat rooms, and multimedia elements.

Moodle & Open LMS Integration

Combined integration of Moodle and Open Learning Management System, providing a robust, flexible, scalable and cost-effective educational platform. Moodle is the most widely used and preferred open-source LMS, recognized globally for its adaptability, multilingual support, and extensive course offerings.

Project Objectives

Strategic goals to enhance educational outcomes across Zamboanga Sibugay Division

Goal

By the end of SY 2025–2026, the Division aims to increase the National Achievement Test (NAT) Mean Percentage Scores (MPS) in Grades 3, 10, and 12 by at least 10% from the latest recorded results, through the effective implementation of MoodleSync: An All-in-One Platform for Teaching and Learning.

Terminal Objectives

  • By the end of each quarter for school year 2025-2026, at least an increase of mean Percentage Score (MPS) in all learning areas by at least 10% from their respective baseline levels, as measured through the unified quarterly assessment.
  • By the end of the SY 2025-2026, at least an increase of 10% in the number/percentage of learners classified as grade level ready and independent readers in Mother Tongue, Filipino and English, based from the results in SY 2024-2025.

Operational Framework

Systematic approach to enhancing teaching and learning through MoodleSync

Process/Operational Framework

The Operational Framework of MoodleSync presents a systematic approach to enhancing teaching and learning through a centralized digital platform. It is structured around five key stages: Input, Process, Output, Outcome and Impact.

Input Stage: Identifies key inputs such as the challenges faced by educators—like limited access to contextualized instructional materials, difficulties in item analysis, and technical barriers to supervision and monitoring. These inputs also include resources (e.g., lesson guides, technology) and the involvement of various stakeholders.

Process Stage: Focuses on developing and customizing the MoodleSync platform, organizing and uploading content, and building the capacity of users through training.

Output Stage: Leads to concrete outputs such as a functional and accessible platform, streamlined instructional supervision, and improved item analysis capabilities.

Outcome Stage: These outputs contribute to positive outcomes including reduced administrative burden, enhanced instructional practices, collaborative learning, and better use of technology.

Impact Stage: Ultimately, the framework aims to achieve the long-term impact of improved learning outcomes. A continuous loop of feedback, review, and updates ensures the system remains effective and responsive to evolving educational needs.

This framework shows how MoodleSync addresses current educational gaps by digitizing and centralizing resources, improving access, and enhancing teaching practices—ultimately aiming for better student performance.
