Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Flippity.net in enhancing the cognitive skills of Araling Panlipunan 10 learners. A mixed-methods design was employed, involving 35 Grade 10 learners from Mariano Marcos State University–Laboratory High School, Batac Campus. Quantitative data
were collected through two assessments aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy—one without intervention and one with intervention—and were compared using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including the paired t-test. Qualitative data, reflecting students' perceptions of the intervention, were collected through a focus group discussion. Findings revealed a general improvement in students’ cognitive skills with the intervention: memory recall and comprehension improved, problem-solving skills remained unchanged, analytical thinking declined, and critical and innovative thinking showed slight gains. Student feedback indicated that
the intervention enhanced their cognitive skills and increased their satisfaction in solving complex problems independently; they cited stress, fatigue, interest level, and personal biases as possible reasons for the decline in analytical thinking. Overall, the study demonstrates that Flippity.net enhances the cognitive skills of Grade 10 Araling Panlipunan learners.
