Google Forms-based Lesson Playlist: Examining Students' Attitude Towards Its Use and Its Effect on Academic Performance

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The loss of contact hours to students due to COVID-19 could pose significant harm to students' academic performance. In this new normal, utilization of digital learning technologies (DLT) is a versatile opportunity to continue the learning in an online learning environment; however, there could be barriers that can impede its adoption and acceptance. This study followed the exploratory sequential design. The qualitative phase analyzed the data related to design factors that affect the 14 senior high school participants' attitudes in using digital technology. The qualitative phase results helped develop the nine Google Forms-based Lesson Playlists (GF-LP) for the nine-week Research Methods class. The quantitative phase analyzed the data from the 105 senior high school students with partial least squares – structural equation modeling to test the effect of the design factors on students' attitudes towards using GF-LP and their academic performance. The study found a high level of acceptance of GF-LP in terms of the design factors. Results showed that all design factors affect students' attitudes towards using GF-LP. Moreover, the students' attitude towards using GF-LP does not mediate the design factors' effect on their academic performance. These findings proved that using GF-LP in a Home-based ODL environment was effective and successful.
