Abstract :
Due to the sudden shift of learning modality to
online distance learning, an automated fingerprint
simulation technology was developed to enhance the skills
of students in identifying and matching fingerprints.
However, it is not fully deployed in Higher Education
Institutions offering criminology programs. The objective
of this study is to find out the effectiveness of the
simulation technology on the performance of students
enrolled in the course Personal Identification Techniques
at the University of the Cordilleras. An experimental
research was utilized through a pre-test-treatment-posttest
design. The respondents were divided into two groups, the
experimental and the control group. A pre-test and
posttest regarding the identification and matching
fingerprints were administered to both groups, while the
experimental group received an intervention by using the
simulation technology. The data gathered was tabulated
and statistically treated using a two-sample independent ttest and a paired t-test. Findings revealed that there is no
statistically significant difference in the performance of
both groups in the pre-test which implies that the
respondents from both groups have the same knowledge
about the content of the test. Meanwhile, there is a
statistically significant difference between the experimental
group and control group in the posttest which denotes that
the experimental group performed better than those
without intervention. Furthermore, there is no difference
in the mean scores in the pretest and posttest of the control
group. Hence, students from this group showed no
improvement in their performance. While the mean scores
of the experimental group are statistically significant
which entails that the students who used the simulation
reported better test results. Therefore, the simulation
technology proves to have a powerful effect that improves
the performance of the students in identifying and
matching fingerprints.
