Science Learning Through Multimedia Among Grade Iii Pupils in Bawi Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Science learning aims to make a transformational step to improve the knowledge base and practice of informal science experiences, to better understand, strengthen, and coordinate their vital role in science engagement and learning. A reason for studying science that is of importance personally to many scientists is that scientific knowledge enhances one's enjoyment and appreciation of the natural world in much the same way that knowledge of music, painting, or literature brings delight to those who have studied those subjects.

METHODS

This research utilized the descriptive method in the study, Valdez (2013) cite that descriptive research is concerned with the description of data and characteristics about a population. The goal is the acquisition of factual, accurate, and systematic data that can be used in averages, frequencies, and similar statistical calculations. Descriptive studies seldominvolve experimentation, as they are more concerned with naturally occurring phenomena than with the observation of controlled situations.

RESULTS

The distinct features of multimedia in teaching Science were comprised of illustration and pictures as partof video and power point presentation. Different parts of body were discussed using the power point and video clips. The pupils have very satisfactory performance using multimedia presentation in learning Science. The proposed supplementary activity was proposed to enhance the performance in Science and respond appropriately to the inevitable changes of school setting that will face the challenges brought about by the advancement in computer technology to be globally competitive.

DISCUSSIONS

This study will lead to find out the importance of learning strategy and its correlation to the academic performance of Grade 3 pupils in Science. It will help the teachers use teaching strategies that will suit the different learning style of students in the modern times. It also served as the primary instrument utilized in this study for data gathering technique. A well-prepared video presentation in each parts of the body system serves as integral tool in transmitting basic information and movements.
