Learners` Perceptions on the Effectiveness of the Emilian Culture Formation (ECF) Courses

This research investigated the learners' perceptions of the effectiveness of Emilian Culture Formation (ECF) courses at Emilio Aguinaldo College in the Academic Year 2024–2025, focusing on Course Management, Course Materials, and Learner Activities. Using a descriptive-survey approach, structured questionnaires containing a 4-point Likert scale were filled out by all learners enrolled in ECF 1, ECF 2, and ECF 3. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics (weighted means and standard deviations). Results found that learners highly perceive the courses as highly effective in all the domains. Course Management (WM = 3.71, SD = 0.560) indicated clear expectations, organized instruction, feedback, and opportunities for collaborative learning. Content, language, and visual structure were found acceptable in Course Materials (WM = 3.66, SD = 0.562), whereas Learner Activities (WM = 3.70, SD = 0.567) fit and aligned with aims and gave adequate time for engagement. The overall grand weighted mean of 3.69 (SD = 0.563) supports continued positive perceptions. It highlights the need for structured management, appropriate materials, and learner-centered activities, with ongoing development suggested as the solution, based on new educational trends and the needs of the learner.
