Abstract

          Learning Management Systems (LMS) have been one of the emerging technologies in the field of education and are widely used in higher education around the world. In the Philippines, it was not until the COVID-19 pandemic that it was introduced and utilized in basic education. As a result, limited studies about LMS in basic education were conducted. Hence, this study aimed to determine the impact of the utilization of LMS in the implementation of distance learning in secondary schools in the Philippines from 2019 to 2023. Nine articles that met the criteria underwent systematic review. The findings revealed that Moodle and Google Classroom are the most widely used LMSs by secondary schools in the Philippines. Secondary schools utilized LMS primarily to create and deliver learning content; moreover, for assessment, monitoring, feedback, and establishing interaction and communication between students and teachers. The utilization of LMS significantly improves teachers’ performance and students’ academic achievement during distance learning. It also addresses the gaps and skepticism towards online learning. The paper recommends that secondary schools maximize the use of LMS to improve instruction. The DepEd shall institutionalize the use of LMS in public secondary schools, especially during the disruption of regular classes. It shall also provide training and capacity building in the use of LMS so that teachers and learners will be able to use LMS effectively. Lastly, developers shall continue to enhance the features of LMS to cater to the needs of teachers, learners, and school administrators.
