Impact of Learning Management System (LMS) on Academic Performance of Selected First Year Nursing Students in Perpetual Help College of Manila

This study examined the impact of the Learning Management System (LMS) on the academic performance of selected first-year nursing students at Perpetual Help College of Manila. Specifically, it aimed to determine the respondents’ demographic profiles in terms of age, gender, and section; identify their perceived advantages and disadvantages of using the LMS; and assess the relationship between these perceptions and their academic performance. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, data were gathered through a structured questionnaire administered to first-year nursing students. The findings revealed that most respondents were young female students aged 18–24 years. Results showed that students recognized several advantages of the LMS, such as accessibility, convenience, and efficiency in learning management. However, they also identified challenges including poor internet connectivity, system errors, and limited interaction. Statistical analysis indicated no significant relationship between the respondents’ perceived advantages and disadvantages of the LMS and their academic performance. This suggests that while the LMS serves as a valuable educational tool, students’ performance is influenced by multiple factors beyond its use. The study recommends continuous improvement of LMS implementation and provision of technical support to maximize its effectiveness in nursing education.
