Effectiveness of Embedded Multimedia on the Mathematical Performance of the Grade Three Pupils in Kalinawan Elementary School, District of Binangonan II

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Today's students are immersed in a variety of technologies even from a young age. Although it has been claimed that the students inhabit a much different world than in the past has been made throughout history, it is particularly true in this century. From a young age, today's children are already exposed to computers, the Internet, social networking sites, instant messaging, and cellular phones that provide communication that is instantly available locally and globally. The research was designed to improve the performance of Grade Three pupils in Mathematics with the use of embedded multimedia in teaching. In the recent First Periodical Test result given last August 2018, the pupils had low MPS with 75.73 in Mathematics. The purpose of the study is to find out the effectiveness of embedded multimedia in teaching Mathematics.

METHODS

The study used the Experimental Method of Research. A pre-test before the exposure to the instructional materials and post-test after the exposure to the instructional materials, consisting of forty (40) items of multiple choice, comprehension; application and matching type were used. To find the significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the controlled and experimental group, independent t-tests.

RESULTS

The control group obtained a mean score of 31.13 in the pre-test with the verbal interpretation of Satisfactory. Similarly, the experimental group obtained a satisfactory performance in the pre-test with a mean score of 31.3. The computed standard deviation of 8.33 and 8.0 respectively revealed that there is a different level of learners on the group. The post-test the control group obtained a mean score of 33.83 verbally interpreted as Satisfactory. Likewise, the experiment group obtained a mean score of 41.43 and interpreted Very Satisfactory. The computed standard deviation of 8.42 and 8.25 indicate that the score of both groups is dispersed. The performance of the experimental in the Pretest the computed t-value of 2. 015. This is greater than the tabular t-the value of 1.68 at.05 level of significance. There is a marked improvement in the performance in Mathematics of the pupils after they were taught with the embedded multimedia in Mathematics. This showed that the pupils comprehended and learned better.
