Designing and Implementing Adaptive Learning Management System to Improve Programming Proficiency: A Study at AMA Computer Learning College (ACLC), Ormoc Campus

The adaptive Learning Management System (LMS) is a platform that integrates adaptive learning principles and technologies. It has become an indispensable tool in contemporary education, transforming how students interact with course material and personalized learning experiences. This study examined the design and implementation of an adaptive Learning Management System at ACLC College, Ormoc campus, to improve students' proficiency in computer programming. The objective was to provide an enhanced learning experience that caters to the diverse learning styles of the students enrolled in computer programming. This adaptive Learning Management System promotes a highly interactive and customized online learning environment. The study included 20 participants in the qualitative phase. The qualitative analysis revealed significant challenges experienced by the students with the current teaching approach of the instructors teaching computer programming subjects. These include a uniform curriculum, non-adaptive content delivery, lack of immediate feedback and progress tracking, ineffective group learning, traditional assessment, and conventional learning methods. Conversely, 78 participants took part in the quantitative phase of this study. The study's quantitative analysis showed that the adaptive Learning Management System features were perceived positively and substantially impacted students' proficiency in computer programming. These findings highlight the crucial importance of technology in modern education and propose a revolutionary approach to programming education.
