A Unified Integration of Interactive Digital Platforms for Enhancing Performance and Assessment in Technology and Livelihood Education

Abstract

This research study investigates the effectiveness of using interactive digital platforms for Technology and Livelihood Education students to improve their performance and assessment grades. The author used a quantitative research design and employed the Mann-Whitney U test to assess statistical significance and the rank-biserial correlation to measure the magnitude of the effect. The study lasted for six weeks and involved using an integrated digital approach, with one platform for performance task submissions and another for assessments. The results showed that students using the integrated digital approach (Mdn = 89) achieved significantly higher grades compared to those using the traditional modular method (Mdn = 85), with a p-value of less than .001 and a rank-biserial correlation of 0.578, indicating a notably large effect size.
