Improving the Level of Knowledge of Students in Asian Culture through Expeditionary Learning (El) Approach

Abstract

Expeditionary Learning (EL) Approach has a positive impact and has great help to both teachers and students. This pretest and posttest design aimed to improve the level of knowledge of the Grade 7 students on Asian Culture, particularly on Ilocano culture through the use of Expeditionary Learning (EL) Approach during the second grading period of the school year 2021-2022. A teacher-made test was used to measure the knowledge of students and a frequency, mean and t-test are the tools used in treating the gathered data.
Based on the results, it was revealed that the level of knowledge of the students on Asian Culture may tend to be good initially, but exhibited improvement after employing Expeditionary Learning (EL) Approach through QR code scanning as an intervention measure. More so, Expeditionary Learning (EL) Approach improved the level of knowledge of students on Asian culture, particularly Ilocano culture.
Based from the findings of this study, the researchers recommended the use of Expeditionary Learning (EL) Approach not only in Araling Panlipunan but also to other learning areas. Similar study may also be undertaken to further strengthen the effectiveness of the Expeditionary Learning (EL) Approach in other disciplines.
