Locking of MS Teams Assessment: An Intervention to Improve Promptness of Pupils’ Submission of Math Quizzes

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

Since the pandemic started, XUGS has continued the mission of education through online learning. They utilized the MS Teams platform as a medium for teaching and learning. The teachers observed the delay of pupils' submission and as a result, this study focuses on the intervention through locking of MS Teams Assessment to improve the promptness of the pupils' submission of Math quizzes. The objective of this study is to determine the number of pupils who submitted in a specific time range, duration and their quizzes scores. More so, it also seeks the perceptions from pupils, parents, and teachers about the intervention. It revealed that this intervention is very effective in improving promptness of pupils' submission in which 80% of the population of pupils submitted their quizzes in less than 30 minutes, given the 10-15 items with one hour allotted time. This result is consistent from Quizzes 1, 2, and 3. Also, the intervention gained positive feedback from pupils, parents, and teachers. Based on the perspective of pupils, 80% Agree; and 100% of teachers Strongly Agree that the locking of MS Teams is very effective in improving the promptness of pupils' submission. And 95% of the parents perceive their son/daughter is practicing time management at home because they have deadlines set by the teacher in the MS Teams. These findings support the idea that this intervention should be continued in this new mode of learning, in which schools use learning management systems like MS Teams to improve the promptness of students' submissions by locking them in.
