The Effects of Multimedia Teaching On kindergarten Pupils in the Development of Their Numeracy Skills

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This is an era of science and technology where science is the backbone for the prosperity of a nation .Due to the onset of technology, it has changed the dynamics of educational institute, and has also influenced the educational system, and the way people interact and work in the society. This rapid rising and development of information technology has offered a better pattern to explore the new teaching model

.METHODS

Quasi-experimental research design was used in this study. It determined the effects of multimedia teaching on kindergarten pupils in the development of their numeracy skills. The respondents of this study were 50 kindergarten pupils who were officially enrolled at Maasim Central Elementary School during the school year 2016-2017. They were randomly assigned, 25 pupils for the experimental group and 25 pupils for the controlled group.

RESULTS

The data shows that recognition of shapes got a mean percentage of 81, recognition of numerals, 85; and count objects, 85 described as Highly Developed. Over all, the level of development of the pupils got a mean percentage of 84, described as Highly Developed. The result implies that the kindergarten pupils in the control group were found to be Highly Developed. The data shows that recognition of shapes got a mean percentage of 99, recognition of numerals, 98; and count objects, 99 described as Very Highly Developed. Over all, the level of development of the pupils got a mean percentage of 99, described as Very Highly Developed. The result implies that the kindergarten pupils in the multimedia group were found to be Very Highly Developed. There are no specific skills that needs improvement after the exposure to multimedia-aid teaching.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the analysis and interpretation of the gathered data, the researcher conclude that with the use of multimedia teaching on kindergarten pupils can greatly help in the development of their numeracy skills. This study is beneficial to other researchers who have problems with their pupils especially in numeracy skills. The control group got an over-all mean percentage of 12 and multimedia group got an over-all mean percentage of 12, described as Poorly Developed. The data implies that there is no significant difference on the pre -test of the control group and multimedia group. The control group got an over-all mean percentage of 84, describe as Highly Developed while multimedia group got an over-all mean percentage of 99, described as Very Highly Developed. The data implies that there is a significant difference on the post test result between.
