Information and Communication Technology Integration Strategy in Teaching Literature among Senior High School Students

Abstract

In today's time, schools ensure the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching literature classes. As a vital tool for providing quality education, the ICT integration strategy is perceived to be one of the best ways to address several issues related to literary studies such as poor reading comprehension and decreased appreciation. The study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of integrating the ICT strategy using Quipper School in teaching literature among senior high school students. Employing the quasi-experimental research design, a total of 60 students were selected through a purposive sampling technique. Adapted research instruments were utilized to gather data. Results revealed that the students from the experimental group obtained higher pretest and posttest scores than those from the control group. As to their attitude towards literature, the students strongly agreed with the indicator that states the ability of literature to give them new perspectives about society. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in their academic performance between the pretest and posttest of both groups. From the findings, it was concluded that the use of Quipper School is effective in teaching literature as it enhances the student's academic performance and their disposition toward the subject.
