The use of multimedia in the teachers' teaching technique widens the possibility to improve the quality of teaching which will eventually give more opportunities to pupils to enjoy every learning session. The presence of multimedia in the classroom highly induces pupils to learn by way of improving their skills, especially in Science. This research study was conducted to assess the effect of using multimedia in Science class performance of Grade five pupils in Yukos Elementary School Annex, Nagcarlan, Laguna.

METHODS

This study used descriptive-normative survey instruments such as questionnaires, self-evaluation checklist, personal interviews and pupil output to gather the perception of the respondents. It is also designed to determine the degree of learning service attained by the respondents in learning science as a result of teaching styles that use multimedia in teaching.

RESULTS

The results of the study are the following: (1) Respondents "agree" on the extent of effectiveness of using multimedia ( mean = 4.48); (2) respondents "strongly agree" on the effects of multimedia on the attitudes toward studies (mean = 4.61) and the accessibility of multimedia ( mean = 4.65); (3) perception on the effects of multimedia to the learning performance of pupils reveal that the respondents "strongly agree" on the effect of multimedia to the performance of pupils with the mean = 4.67.
