Using Student-Led Video Tutorial in Teaching Selected topics in General Mathematics

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Students of today are digital natives and most of their activities are connected to technologies. This is one of the reasons why there is a need for teachers to upgrade their teaching strategies through the use of modern technology and so as to comply with Republic Act 10533 which is the Implementation of Pedagogical Approaches in catering K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum in imparting lessons to their students. By doing so, students will appreciate and understand the lesson easily.

METHODS

This study attempted to determine the effectiveness of the use of student-led video tutorials in teaching selected topics in General Mathematics. Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was used in this study. One section from Accountancy Business and Management (ABM) in Kapayapaan Integrated School (KIS) School Year 2017 -2018, which consists of 30 students was the subject of the study. The utilization of student-led video tutorials was incorporated in the delivery of the selected topics in General Mathematics. It pursued the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance which states that there is no significant difference in the mean percentage scores between the pretest and posttest within the group.

RESULTS

The computed t-value of 13.80 is higher than the t-tabular of 2.05. At 0.05 level of significance with 29 degrees of freedom, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores of the students within the group. Hence, the hypothesis stating that there is no significant difference in the mean percentage scores between the pretest and posttest within the group was rejected.

DISCUSSIONS

Since student-led video tutorials were found out to be effective in teaching selected topics in General Mathematics, administrators and officials of theDepartment of Education may encourage not only the Mathematics teachers to use this teaching technique not only in teaching General Mathematics but also in other learning areas where video tutorials can be incorporated for better understanding.
