Abstract

The Pomodoro Technique, known for its structured work and break intervals, offers a potential solution to the demanding schedules faced by healthcare students. The primary aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the Pomodoro Technique in enhancing the academic performance of third-year Medical Laboratory Science students, specifically in the subjects of Immunology and Serology at De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute. The research problem concerns assessing whether the Pomodoro Technique significantly improves student learning outcomes in this subject. The study's basic design involves a descriptive quantitative approach to compare between a test group utilizing the Pomodoro Technique and a blind control group that does not use the technique. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to measure changes in academic performance. The analysis has shown that implementing the Pomodoro Technique may not significantly affect academic performance in Immunology and Serology, as indicated by non-significant differences in pre-test and post-test scores within both test and blind control groups. While the technique may offer potential benefits, its impact is not significant enough to distinguish between groups utilizing it and those not, leaving participants with the choice to adopt the Pomodoro Technique at their discretion for enhancing academic outcomes.
