Development and Validation of CAL/CAI as an Enhancement Material in Music 5

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The objective of the study is to develop and validate CAL/CAI (Computer Aided Learnings/Computer Aided Instructions) as an enhancement material in Music 5 for the pupils of Tadlak Elementary School in the school year 2018 -2019.

METHODS

This study is anchored on the theory of Constructivism by John Dewey. Constructivism is a theory that explains how knowledge is constructed in the human being when information comes into contact with existing knowledge that had been developed by experiences. It has its roots in Cognitive Psychology and Biology and an approach to education that lays emphasis on the ways knowledge is created in order to adapt to the world.

The study was also conceived and anchored on the theory of Bruner in his study entitled TheLearning Theory. He stated that instruction must have the objective to help the learner to be self-sufficient and problem-solver.

RESULTS

The results described that the developed CAL/CAI enhancement material in Music 5 is highly acceptable by the respondents. Furthermore, there is a significant difference in the level of performance of Grade 5 pupils in the control group as revealed by the pretest and posttest results in terms of Natutukoy ang iba't -ibang simbolo ng musika, natutukoy at naaawit ang mga so-fa syllable gamit man o hindi ang mga hand signal, at natutukoy at nakakagawa ng ng iba't -ibang interval since the computed p-value is 0.000 is less than 0.05 level of significance. Also, there is a significant difference in the level of performance of grade 5 pupils in the experimental group as revealed by pretest and posttest results since the computed p-value of 0.00 is less than 0.05 level of significance. However, there is no significant difference in the level of performance of Grade 5 pupils in control and experimental groups as revealed by the posttest result in terms of Natutukoy at nakakagawa ng iba't ibang ibang interval since the computed p-value is 0.0354 which is lower than 0.05 level of significance.

DISCUSSIONS

The findings revealed that the developed enhancement material in Music 5 was found to be a valid and acceptable learning material. The experimental group and control group got Low performance in their pretest in all the lessons except in the lesson Natutukoy ang iba't -ibang simbolo ng musika in which the control group got Average performance. The post-test of the experimental group and the control group got Very High. A significant difference was observed between the performance of the experimental group and the control group. From the findings of the study, it is concluded that the achievement of the experimental group in Music significantly changed as compared to the performance of the control groups.
