Multimedia-Based Instructional Materials in Teaching MAPEH: Its Acceptability

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Multimedia become an important part of education today. Like before lectures, memorization, silent book reading, chalk and board activities only. Educational institutions have become more conscious of how they impart knowledge to learners that is why they launched the multimedia-based instructional materials. Multimedia instruction used different media such as audio, visual, text, video, sounds and graphics which are very fast to catch the attention of different kinds of learners. With the use of multimedia, students are better able to comprehend what they are being taught at school. Learning becomes more effective for them when multiple senses work together; the human mind catches information readily and absorbs it fully. With the use of graphics, sounds, and animation, their comprehension power increases substantially. Multimedia-based instructional materials had already used in Alfonso National High School by teachers and students, but since there's just limited materials and facilities available, teachers and students still deal and used traditional method (chalk and board)instruction.

METHODS

According to Shuttleworth (2008), Descriptive research design is a scientific method which involves observing and describing the behavior of a subject without influencing it in any way. Many scientific disciplines, especially social science and psychology, use this method to obtain a general overview of the subject. Some subjects cannot be observed in any other way; for example, a social case study of an individual subject is a descriptive research design and allows observation without affecting normal behavior.
