EFFECTIVENESS OF LISTENING TO CLASSICAL MUSIC WHILE REVIEWING A LESSON OF GRADE 12 HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES LEARNERS

Abstract

Classical music can enhance motivation, improve mood, and promote relaxation. It can also aid concentration, making it beneficial for reviewing lessons. Research suggests that a positive mood generally improves learning outcomes, increasing the effectiveness of studying. Since reviewing can be stressful, especially when struggling with difficult material, classical music can help alleviate feelings of overwhelm and facilitate more productive study sessions. Additionally, when faced with long and exhausting study sessions, setting personal rewards—such as watching a favorite show or enjoying a meal—can help maintain motivation and perseverance. To gather comprehensive data for the study, researchers developed a carefully designed, researcher-made questionnaire. This structured tool was created to elicit specific information aligned with the research objectives. A questionnaire consists of a set of questions or items used to collect data from respondents regarding their attitudes, experiences, or opinions. It can be used to obtain both quantitative and qualitative information, making it a versatile method for gathering relevant insights Based on the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: The data collected indicates that Grade 12 HUMSS students at Immaculada Concepcion College recognize a significant correlation between listening to classical music and reviewing lessons. The research revealed that classical music has a notable impact on students’ study sessions, enhancing their ability to review effectively. Additionally, the study found that classical music helps HUMSS students retain and comprehend lessons better, making the material more understandable and improving their overall learning experience.

. Based on the findings and conclusions, the researchers propose the following recommendations:

For Immaculada Concepcion College – The institution should encourage students to listen to classical music while studying, as it can help improve focus and enhance lesson retention. Integrating this practice into study sessions may contribute to better academic performance.

For Parents – Parents should provide emotional support and positive reinforcement to their children, helping them stay motivated and overcome academic challenges that may affect their performance.

For Students – Students should develop effective time management skills to balance their academic responsibilities, allowing them to dedicate more meaningful time to studying and reviewing lessons.
