Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a shift toward alternative instructional strategies, with vlogging emerging as a promising medium for enhancing educational engagement. This study investigates how vlogging can transform traditional mathematics learning by fostering interactive and learner-centered approaches. Addressing the gap in integrating vlogging as a structured pedagogical tool, the research aimed to develop and evaluate Transformative Mathematics Learning Vlogs (TMLV) for distance education. Using Participatory Action Research with six primary and sixteen secondary participants selected through purposive sampling, the study progressed through iterative phases of data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Findings revealed that TMLV supported mastery of mathematics concepts, particularly probability, fostered creativity, collaboration, technological competence, and critical thinking, and encouraged broader stakeholder engagement. The results underscore that vlogging can serve as an effective medium for transformative learning in mathematics and other disciplines, offering inclusive access to quality education. Sustained stakeholder involvement is vital for the long-term integration of such tools in educational practice.

Author Biography

Sherwin Batilantes, Malay National High School, Motag, WW2F+HQP, Malay, Aklan, 5608, Philippines

Sherwin P. Batilantes is a Master Teacher 1 at Malay National High School in Motag, Malay, Aklan, where he teaches Mathematics in grades 7 to 10. His outstanding achievements as an educator were very apparently remarkable. In 2018, he received an award as one of Aklan's Ten Outstanding Mentors, Best Adviser in Division Mathematics Investigation in 2017, 2021 District Outstanding Researcher, and District Outstanding Master Teacher for Secondary in 2021.

Mr. Batilantes is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Science Education with a major in Mathematics at West Visayas Visayas State University – Main Campus as a Department of Science and Technology – Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) scholar under the Capacity Building Program in Science and Mathematics Education (CBPMSE) program.

Moreover, he is a researcher who focuses on instructional technology education, distance education, mathematics support instructional materials, social justice (Ecojustice), and social works. He was a recipient of the DepEd Region VI – Western Visayas Basic Education Research Fund (BERF) in 2019. He presented his study at the district, division, regional, national, and international levels, where he received awards for Best Research Paper and Best Research Presentation. He also published his research articles in reputable peer-reviewed journals at no expense. And he became a resource speaker in mathematics and research-related training and seminars ranging from the school to the regional level.
