Abstract

Abstract: Academic Performance and Perception of Learners in Technology Subjects: A Flexible Learning Assessment. Objective: This study compared the academic performance of the learners in flexible learning (FL) and face-to-face and determined the correlation of student perceptions and academic performance of the students in Technology subjects. Methods: The longitudinal and descriptive correlation research design were employed. Descriptive statistics was used to assess the learners academic performance and ascertain their perception in FL. The paired-sample t-test was utilized to determine if theres a significant difference in the learners academic performance. The Pearson Coefficient Binomial Correlation was used to determine if theres a significant relationship between their perception and academic performance. Findings: The results showed that their academic performance is very high, both FL and face-to-face. Also, the results revealed no significant difference in the learners academic performance. Finally, the learners perception is moderate, showing no significant relationship between the learners perception and academic performance in FL.

Abstrak: Prestasi Akademik dan Persepsi Peserta Didik Mata Pelajaran Teknologi: Asesmen Flexible Learning. Tujuan: Penelitian ini membandingkan prestasi akademik peserta didik dalam fleksibel learning (FL) dan tatap muka serta menentukan korelasi persepsi mahasiswa dan prestasi akademik mahasiswa dalam mata pelajaran Teknologi. Metode: Desain penelitian korelasi longitudinal dan deskriptif digunakan. Statistik deskriptif digunakan untuk menilai kinerja akademik peserta didik dan memastikan persepsi mereka dalam FL. Uji-t sampel berpasangan digunakan untuk menentukan apakah ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam kinerja akademik peserta didik. Korelasi Binomial Koefisien Pearson digunakan untuk menentukan apakah ada hubungan yang signifikan antara persepsi dan prestasi akademik mereka. Temuan: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa prestasi akademik mereka sangat tinggi, baik FL maupun tatap muka. Juga, hasilnya mengungkapkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam kinerja akademik peserta didik. Akhirnya, persepsi peserta didik adalah sedang, tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara persepsi peserta didik dan prestasi akademik di FL.

Kata kunci: flexible learning, prestasi akademik, persepsi siswa.
