Academic Performance and Motivation of Science 7 Using Wordwall and Kotobee Digital Applications

The integration of educational technology into the classroom has become essential in enhancing academic performance and motivation. This quasi-experimental research aims to investigate the effect of Wordwall and Kotobee on the grade 7 learners’ academic performance and motivation. It was conducted at Linamon National High School, school year 2024-2025. The study used a set of developed and validated Science 7 lessons integrating Wordwall and Kotobee. A validated research-made 60-item academic performance test and a validated adapted science motivation survey questionnaire. Mean and standard deviation of the data gathered were computed. ANCOVA and a One-Way Independent t-test were employed at the 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that learners exposed to Wordwall performed at a Fairly Satisfactory level, while those exposed to Kotobee achieved a Satisfactory Level. The study also found that learners in both groups were highly motivated in Science. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the academic performance of Grade 7 learners exposed to Wordwall and Kotobee. Additionally, no significant difference was observed in the motivation between the groups exposed to Wordwall and Kotobee.
