The Relationship of Reflective Learning to Students’ Academic Performance in Filipino

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study investigated the relationship between reflective learning and students’ academic performance in teaching a Filipino course at a private university in Central Philippines. It utilized two intact sections of third-year college students taking a Filipino subject during the First Semester of AY 2023-2024. A total of 76 students (38 students assigned to each group) participated in the study. The instruments used were a 45-item multiple choice and a 10-point essay test duly validated and reliability tested before the implementation of the study. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at a .05 level of significance. Findings revealed that the academic performance of students in the Filipino course who were exposed to the reflective learning method had a higher academic performance than those who were exposed to the lecture-discussion method. Moreover, the study also found that the reflective learning method has a high potential to improve the quality of instruction in the Filipino course through students’ improved academic performance.
