Effects of Utilizing Science Videos in Teaching Grade 3 -Mapagbigay using MTB-MLE as Medium: Inputs to Increase the Mastery Level of Learners

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Many pupils in the elementary level have a short span of interest. They listen for a while but, as the class discussion goes on, their interest is diverted to other things such as talking to a seatmate, sketching on their notebooks, looking outside the window and the likes. The traditional way of presenting the lesson contributes to the boredom of children which results in low performance in class (Hobbs, 2006).In order to solve this problem, the Department of Education is now improving the quality of education among primary grades through Department of Education Order 74, dated July 2009 which states "Institutionalized Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education as a fundamental educational policy and program" that will promote better learning capabilities of pupils to further understand the lessons through video presentations. This study focuses on the great effects of multimedia to the lives of the learners.

METHODS

This study will focus on the effects of utilizing Science video in teaching Grade 3 -Mapagbigay using MTB-MLE as medium to increase the mastery level of learners for the school year 2016-2017. It is composed of 40 pupils facilitated by the researcher. Pre-test was given to the pupils before any Science video was used, after which, the lessons were discussed. Post-test followed. T-test or one-paired sample was used to determine the significant difference.

RESULTS

The following are the results of the study: (1) The pre-test result was very low as indicated by a mean score of 3.225;(2) there was a huge increase in the result of the post-test having a mean score of 15.6750; (3) there is a significant difference in the pre-test and post test results as evidenced in the computed t-value of 18.005; and (4) the Science video intervention material used by the researcher was found effective in increasing the mastery level of pupils.

DISCUSSIONS

Pre-test scores has a very low mean of 3.2250 as compared to post test scores which has a mean of 15.6750. Likewise, standard deviation has a higher rate in the post test than the pre-test. It only implies that the use of Science videos in presenting the lesson contribute to better learning of pupils and can increase their mastery level. There is a significant difference in the result of pre-test andpost-test scores of the pupils since the p-value is .000 at t-value of 18.005. There is a great difference in the mean scores of the learners. Perhaps using the Science video increases the interest and enthusiasm of the learners.
