Abstract / Executive Summary
This action research aimed to enhance Grade 6 pupils’ engagement and academic performance in science through the integration of Khan Academy as a digital learning tool. The study was conducted among thirty-one pupils from Grade 6- Patriotism at Dr. Alejandro Albert Elementary School during the third quarter of this school year. The research objective is to determine the level of pupil’s engagement and academic performance before and after the integration of Khan Academy and whether a significant difference existed between the two phases. A mixed-method approach was used and aside from pre-test and post-test the researcher also teacher observation sheets and the Khan Academy teacher dashboard as instruments for data collection. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests and qualitative data were gathered through classroom observations and feedback. The pre-test mean score from 16.77 increased to 32.03 in the post-test and 35.45 in the third periodic test which indicates a significant improvement in academic performance of the class while the engagement level rose from a mean of 2.98 (moderately engaged) to 4.18 (highly engaged). The statistical analysis revealed that these improvements were highly significant (p < 0.001) which confirms the positive impact of the intervention. The findings demonstrate that integrating Khan Academy effectively enhanced the pupils’ motivation and comprehension in science. The platform interactive and self-paced encourage independent learning and confidence among pupils. The study concludes that technology integration when combined with teacher guidance can significantly improve learning outcomes and support traditional instruction.
