Research questions
• RQ1: Is the CLEAR-designed course effective in
improving students’ understanding of the topic?
• RQ2: How do demographics differentiate grades and
engagement level among students?
• RQ3: What are the students’ feedbacks on taking the
CLEAR-designed course?

Conclusion
• Creation-based learning approach was proven effective in improving
learning results and engaging learners.
• Learners were satisfied with the creation-based learning experience.
• Student profiles that were female, had a higher level of education, or
had greater digital literacy seemed to benefit more from the creation-
based learning experience.
• More studies are needed to validate the CLEAR model’s effectiveness
on learning performance, engagement, and course satisfaction.
• STEM subjects, bigger sample size, and true experiment design should
be used in further studies.
