Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Moral development is an important dimension in the education of an individual and schools are expected to foster various moral qualities among its students. Teachers continuously search for effective strategy or materials in teaching moral values particularly in discussing moral issues. With this, this study aims to assess the use of video clips to students learning of important moral issues.

METHODS

No sampling method was utilized in the study. Forty Grade 10 students from section Molave of Governor Feliciano Leviste Memorial National High School were used as respondents. Documentary analysis, lesson plan about moral issues and test questions were used as data gathering instruments.

RESULTS

The video clips in teaching "Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao" demonstrated students’ understanding of the concepts of the human person, human behavior, moral values and moral issues and deciding and acting with good preference to be established among the issues moral and environmental influences. Those video clips used determined activities contrary to sanctity of life and demonstrated the understanding of moral issues. Also, students can easily get a quick overview of the moral issue presented through the use of video clips. However, video presentation has less impact on the students' ability to clearly assess the complexity of the moral issue. The utmost input of the use of video clips in teaching moral issues is on how students become more responsible of their action and words.

DISCUSSIONS

The results have shown that the utilization of video clips are very significant in teaching moral issues in Values Education (Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao) classes. Video clips provide a means of interactive instruction and is a very flexible medium. But the purpose of the use of this medium will be nonsense without the guidance of the competent teachers. Implementation of using video clips with the guidance of the teacher will lead to students' realizations of the different moral issues.
