Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Audio visual aids are important in the education system. Audio visual aids are those devices which are used in classrooms to encourage the teaching process and make it easier and interesting. The teacher uses different methods and materials to teach their students. With the passage of time, different methods and techniques are introduced into the field of education and the teacher uses a different kind of aids to make effective teaching. Thus, this intervention "LED to Learn" Strategy was designed to cater to the interest of these pupils towards their schooling.

METHODS

Descriptive-universal sampling was used in the study. This will help describe the improvement of pupils' performance during the triangulation as to how effective is the program to pupil's academic performance.

RESULTS

It is very relevant that pupils had difficulty in most of the subject areas as shown in the table; such factors greatly affect the MPS of Grade-V pupils. The result prompted the teacher to conduct a study as to which factors affect the prevailing problem. The result urges the teacher to give attention and find a solution or way to solve this problem for it might greatly affect the schools' performance. The teacher used the LED screen as an aid in teaching so that those pupils who have difficulties in identifying teachers' lesson will enrich their comprehension and find the lessons interesting.

DISCUSSIONS

The performance in the first quarter was shown, its observation was clearly discussed then the intervention program designed was introduced. When teachers use educational television programs during classes as a teacher's aid, the relationship between them and their learners changes. Usually, the status quo of the classroom is the teacher who imparted knowledge, while students absorb the information. Educational videos change the status quo in a way of making the educator and children peers who can share and discuss the viewing experience. Further concluded that there is a great impact of audiovisual aids in the teaching-learning process, wherein students find the method of teaching very effective. The teacher should be more creative and use different strategies to arouse pupils' interest. School may be provided with more LED screens to boost the interest of Grade V pupils learning. School Head may call the attention of the parents of pupils with chronic absenteeism.
