Abstract
-
Mathematics learning becomes more meaningful when supported by intelligent
technologies that enhance students’ problem-solving processes. This study examined the
effectiveness of the use of chatbot-assisted instruction using Solomon’s Model Approach
in enhancing students’ performance in Mathematics during the school year 2025–2026. A
quantitative quasi-experimental design using the Solomon four-group model was
employed. The participants were 76 Maritime students from a private higher education
institution in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines, randomly assigned into two
experimental and two control groups. A researcher-made problem-solving test was used,
and data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test, and
two-way ANOVA. Results showed that both groups demonstrated very low pretest
performance. In the posttest, all groups improved; however, students exposed to the use of
chatbot-assisted instruction achieved significantly higher performance than those who
received traditional instruction. No significant differences were found between the two
control groups and between the two experimental groups. Likewise, there was no
significant interaction effect between pretest exposure and the use of chatbot-assisted
instruction. The use of chatbot-assisted instruction effectively improves students’
mathematical performance and remains effective regardless of pretest exposure,
highlighting its value as a supportive instructional tool in mathematics education. Math
instructors may integrate chatbot-assisted instruction alongside traditional teaching
strategies to enhance students’ learning outcomes in mathematics.
