Development of web-based learning application to enhance understanding in Philippine history

Abstract

This study introduces a web-based learning system designed to enhance the recall and understanding of Philippine history through engaging quizzes and games, aligning with ISO 25010 standards. The system prioritizes functional suitability, usability, reliability, performance efficiency, and portability, with the aim of aiding users, particularly students, in remembering and studying Philippine history. Leveraging interactive features such as game content and quizzes, the system actively engages learners, promoting comprehension and retention of historical facts. Instant feedback mechanisms further contribute to users' ability to identify strengths and weaknesses in understanding Philippine history. To evaluate the system's performance, the researchers applied the Locally Weighted Learning (LWL) algorithm, adhering to ISO 25010 guidelines. The LWL algorithm, combining lazy learning and a decision stump classifier with linear weighting kernels, achieved an impressive 90% accuracy on the "Book1" dataset. This comprehensive evaluation validated the system's reliability and effectiveness, showcasing high accuracy in assessing attributes such as data accuracy, system availability, user-friendliness, responsiveness, and security assurance. The study also includes a regression analysis, indicating a moderate positive linear relationship (multiple R of 0.4243) between independent variables (functional suitability, usability, performance efficiency, reliability, and portability) and the dependent variable (software quality score). While the model explains approximately 22.38% of the variability, the non-significant p-value in the ANOVA table prompts consideration for further refinement. Overall, this research contributes to the field of educational technology by providing valuable insights into the development and evaluation of a history-focused learning application, emphasizing both practical usability and theoretical reliability within the framework of ISO 25010.
