Abstract
This study examined the
effect of cloud-based collaborative learning management system on students’
academic achievement and retention among undergraduate students in Science
Method Course (SED 350). a pre-test, post-test non-equivalent control group
quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving experimental and
control groups to determine the effect of the intervention. The population of
the study comprised all the 300 level science education students offering
Science Method. A sample of 184 students was purposively selected comprising of
86 males and 98 females. An instrument titled Science Method Achievement Test
(SMAT) was used for the data collection. The internal consistency of
reliability of the item was estimated using Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient.
The data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer
the research questions while independent sample T-test was used to test the
null hypotheses. A CBCLMS was developed, precisely Canvas Learning Management
System (LMS) was deployed for the experimental group, providing access to
course materials, interactive learning tools, and collaborative features. The
control group received traditional face-to-face instruction without access to
the Canvas. Academic achievement was measured through post-test scores, while
retention was assessed using a follow-up test administered after a set
interval. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in both
academic achievement and retention among students exposed to the CBCLMS. Based
on the findings, the researcher concluded that the integration of CBCLMS
platforms, such as Canvas LMS, enhances learning outcomes and recommended its
wider adoption for effective instructional delivery in tertiary institutions.
