Q-SIM (Quizizz Powered SIM): Strategic Intervention Material in Teaching Biology

Abstract

This study embarks on an empirical journey to evaluate the efficacy of Q-SIM as a teaching material in biology education. The study also determined the students’ attitudes toward using developed Q-SIM. Moreover, a one-group pre-test–post-test design was used to assess the impact of Q-SIM intervention on DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis. The study provided the student’s academic performance results before and after the intervention using their mean scores. Furthermore, the mean difference between the student’s pre-test and post-test was also calculated using a t-test to find out the significant impact of Q-SIM. The researchers also used a validated survey questionnaire as the primary tool of the study to determine students’ attitudes and perceptions. The findings showed that implementing Q-SIM is promising for enhancing students’ academic performance. The significant differences observed between pre-test and post-test results underscore the positive impact of Q-SIM on students’ understanding and mastery of subject matter. Moreover, students’ highly positive attitudes towards Q-SIM indicate a favorable perception of this innovative educational tool. As technology plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational landscape, Q-SIM stands out as a valuable asset, offering improved academic outcomes and fostering a positive and engaging learning environment. Future utilization of this Q-SIM as a strategic instructional material would raise students’ academic performance and attitude in teaching specific science concepts and applying this Q-SIM in another discipline.
