| Summary: | <p>This study determined the level of acceptability of the e-learning module in Seamanship 2A as well as its strengths and weaknesses. The respondents of this study were the 286 randomly chosen Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation students who took up Seamanship 2A during the first semester of the school year 2021-2022 and five purposively chosen experts in the field of maritime education, Information and Communication Technology, and production of learning materials. This study utilized a two-part research instrument where the first part was a 30-item Likert-type questionnaire, while the second part consisted of two open-ended questions. It utilized a survey research design. The results show that the students and the experts found the e-learning module in Seamanship 2A to have high acceptability in general and in terms of appearance, learning activities, evaluation procedure, ease of use, and usefulness. According to students, the strengths of the e-learning module in Seamanship 2A were: accessible, convenient, easy to understand, informative, relevant, sufficient content, user-friendly, several varied sources available, self-paced, well-organized, efficient, and systematic. Meanwhile, its weaknesses include the need for internet access, incomprehensive discussion of the contents, unreliable/unstable site, lack of human interaction, lack of hands-on experience, difficulty in using the site, misaligned lesson content and quizzes, excessive screen time, and availability of gadgets. It is recommended that the e-learning module in Seamanship 2A may be improved based on its strengths and weaknesses. Future researchers may conduct similar studies on other subject areas, look into longitudinal research or determine the effectiveness of the e-learning module.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Received: 12 October 2023 </strong></p><p><strong>Accepted: 02 December 2023 </strong></p><p><strong>Published: 12 December 2023</strong></p> |
