Enhancing the Performance of Grade 10 Students of Calauag National High School in Reproductive System through the Utilization of Science Videos

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this study is to test if the performance of the students will increase after using video presentation in teaching reproductive system to Grade 10 students of Calauag National High School.

METHODS

This paper used a descriptive -comparative methods of research to assess and determine the significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the performance level of Grade 10 students. The total number of the subject used in the study were 20 Grade 10 students of Calauag National High School. The subjects were purposively selected by the researchers because they were the ones that the researcher is being handled and identified with low performance in Science. The instruments used by the researcher were pretest and posttest. The instrument was self-designed by the researchers to assess the performance of Grade 10 students. The instrument was carefully developed by the research team to achieve the instrument that would measure and answer the research problem. After the implementation of the science video the researchers administered the pretest and posttest to the 20 Grade 10 students of Calauag National High School. After its administration, the mean and MPS were computed. The significant difference was determined through the t-test.

RESULTS

The result of the study revealed that the obtained mean of pretest and posttest, average mean of pretest is 37.0333 while the posttest obtained 70.4. The difference of 33.27 from the pretest and posttest was remarkably increased. It showed also that significant difference between the means of pretest and posttest result in using video in teaching reproductive system. The computed t-value of -14.80 and critical t-value of 1.67 came up with the decision to reject the null hypothesis. Thus, the impression significant at 0.05 level implied that using video in teaching reproductive system in Science increased and enhanced the performance of Grade 10 -Masikap students of Calauag National High School. Students demonstrated interest and paid attention when the teacher presented the video.

DISCUSSIONS

The results implied that the students were excited and have given their attention to the presentation because the lesson was shown through videos which later increase their academic performance. The utilization of videos was found effective in increasing theirlevel of academic performance in Science under the reproductive system topic. Teachers then can use video presentations in different topics in Science.
