Abstract
Integrating Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in education is a vital part of improving learning outcomes. One such ICT-responsive technical-vocational (Tech-Voc) school is to utilize Poll Everywhere (PollEv) application as a web-based intervention and audience response system in online classroom teaching. This cross-sectional study was conducted on Grade 7 learners of the Strengthened Technical-Vocational Education Program at a public secondary school. PollEv was used as a teaching and management tool for thirty-one Tech-Voc learners during the school year 2020-2021. Analyzing the data through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, the mean was used to describe the pretest and posttest scores, while the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test for dependent samples was utilized to determine the significant difference in the learning outcomes before and after the intervention. The findings showed better performance and "very satisfactory" experience of learners using PollEv and became a tool for managing a Tech-Voc classroom considering the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive aspects involved in virtual environments. The behavioral intentions toward the PollEv application were influenced by its usefulness, ease of use, and satisfaction of learners. Once a technology is incorporated in online spaces, learners engage accordingly by keeping their attention to classroom tasks and achieving better academic results.
