Utilization of Video Clips in Teaching Economics at Anselmo A. Sandoval Memorial National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

As educators, our aim is to get students energized and engaged in the hands-on learning process. Video, on the other hand, is clearly an instructional medium that is compelling and generates a much greater amount of interest and enjoyment than the more traditional printed material. Using sight and sound and subtitles, it is the perfect medium for students who are auditory or visual learners. All these, stimulate and engage students creating interest and maintaining that interest for longer periods of time, and provide an innovative and effective means for educators to address and deliver the required curriculum content.

METHODS

The descriptive method of research was used with the constructed lesson plan as instrument of gathering data. There were 60 Grade 9 students who served as respondents of the study. A lesson plan was prepared along with the standardized test to measure the effectiveness of the utilization of video clips. Frequency, percentage and ranking were the tools applied in the study to determine the validity of results.

RESULTS

With the benefits of using video in education as shown in several decades of research, it brought an impact on teaching and learning and encouraged teachers to consider the flipped classroom model where learners can digest lecture content on their pace and explore content more deeply during class time. After the application of the strategy, the following results were found; 1) Utilization of video clips encourages students to create their own learning, 2) The application of video clips is through motivation and application, 3) Majority of the students had average performance in teaching economics through video clips and 4) The proposed supplementary materials focused on hands-on-multimedia and mixed-multimedia.

DISCUSSIONS

The school administration should establish and maintain program to integrate video clips in teaching economics. Similarly, social studies teachers should select more interesting video clips in teaching Economics. As such, the Department of Education officials must provide a support and program in teaching social studies with the use of video clips. With this, it hoped to improve not only the students' performance, but to improve the Philippine education system.
