Abstract:

Technology-driven instruction, particularly through blended learning, has become a transformative force in 21stcentury education. The rapid transition to online platforms is now essential for fostering pedagogical excellence and meeting the evolving needs of students. This study assessed the impressions, satisfaction, and perceived effectiveness of QSU e-Aral, the official online learning platform of Quirino State University, from the perspective of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSE) students. Using a descriptive research design, data were gathered from 150 BSE students selected through purposive random sampling. The findings revealed the following: (1) students held generally positive impressions of QSU e-Aral, demonstrating a readiness to embrace technology-enhanced learning; (2) students expressed a high level of satisfaction with the platform, citing its functionality, content, interactivity, features, and overall usability; (3) the platform was rated as highly effective in supporting their learning, indicating successful implementation and use; and (4) gender was found to significantly influence perceptions of effectiveness, suggesting variation in preferences between male and female students. Overall, QSU e-Aral was perceived as an efficient, effective, and widely accepted tool for online learning among BSE students.
