  7. Introduction The twenty-first century can be characterized as the age of technology and media. (Smaldino, 2005).

  8. Recently, teachers have expanded their repertoire of materials and procedures to include the new technologies for learning. (Smaldino, 2005).

  9. In a typical classroom, traditional media such as pictures, charts, diagrams, television and overhead projectors are commonly used by biology instructors. (Reid, 2006).

  10. Learning research has demonstrated that visualizing processes in three dimensions aids learning and animations are effective visualization tools for novice learners and with a long term memory retention. (McClean, 2004).

  11. set of teaching and learning tools designed to enhance students’ learning experience by including computers and the internet in the learning process. www.renbrook.org www.softchalk.com

  12. GENERAL OBJECTIVE • This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using virtual learning environment in the teaching of Biology. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES • determine the level of students' achievement in Biology in the pre-test and the post-test in the typical classroom and in the classroom using the VLE • find out the significant improvement from the pre-test to the post-test in the experimental and control groups in terms of their achievement in Biology as well as the significant difference in the students’ interest and attitude towards Biology.

  13. Bruner’s Constructivist Learning Theory Mayer’s Theory of Multimedia Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Biology Teaching Pre – test Control (Traditional Media) Experimental (VLE) Interest Post - Test Learning Guide for Biology Lessons Using VLE Theoretical and Conceptual Framework Attitudes

  14. Research Methodology Research Design • Quasi-Experimental Design • The design involved two groups, the control and experimental groups. Both groups were pre-tested and post-tested but only the experimental group was given the experimental treatment.

  15. Respondents The respondents of this study were the 86 1st year BSED students of SSCT Surigao City Campus for AY 2011-2012

  16. Research Instrument The researcher used the following instruments: Instrument I. Learning guide for the lessons using VLE and traditional media. Instrument II. Researcher-made test to determine the achievement level of the students in biology. Instrument III. ModifiedFenemma-Sherman Biology Attitude Scale and modified interest scale

  17. Data Gathering Procedure The following steps were done in conducting the study: • Selection • Group Matching • Pre-testing • Intervention • Post-testing

  18. Statistical Treatment of Data The following statistical tools were employed to treat the data of the study: • z-test • t-test of Correlated Means • t-test of Mean Difference • t-test of Independent Samples • Spearman Brown Formula Hypothetical significance was pegged at α=.05 

  19. Findings The following were the findings of the study: • The experimental and control groups performance in the pre-test was “Below Average”. • Both groups performance increased in the post-test from “Below Average” to “Average”. • The experimental group had a higher mean gain than the control group but it was not statistically significant. • Both groups collaborative feeling toward Biology was positive which means that they were “Interested”.

  20. The experimental and control groups had the same interest towards Biology. • The experimental and control groups collaborative trend of opinion towards Biology was “Agree” which means that they had “Positive” attitude towards Biology. • Both groups had positive attitude towards Biology.

  21. Conclusion The use of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is as effective as the use of Traditional Media in teaching Biology. When a teacher uses constructivist approach in teaching, the use of VLE and traditional media are both effective in enhancing academic performance and promoting positive attitude and interest of students towards the subject.
