MULTIMEDIA ASSISTED INSTRUCTION (MAI): STRATEGY TO ENHANCE PUPIL’S

PERFORMANCE IN SCIENCE VI OF SAN VICENTE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

I. Content and Rationale

Everyone is aware that at present there is an explosion of knowledge in almost every

field especially in science grade six. The teacher keeps the latest developments in their area.

He has to learn and adopt new teaching strategies that could stimulate the interest of pupils

and make teaching clearer, more meaningful and interesting. Learning cannot be more

effective without appropriate teaching technique.

Many educators have recognized the use of computer as beneficial teaching – learning

technique. In today’s schools, the use of computer remains to be functional art purposive and

systematic program of instruction. Instructional materials guide pupil’s behaviour based on

their present skills in science.

Results of the study made by the specialists revealed that performance in science is

one of the causes of academic failure. For several years, Science has been noted as one of the

most difficult subjects among the pupils of San Vicente Elementary School particularly for

grade six. Test results by quarter showed that 20% of 144 grade six pupils did not acquire the

75% MPL. It is in this premise where there is a need to look into possible ways and means on

how the grade six pupils of San Vicente Elementary School can acquire the skills, knowledge

and information that will enrich and enhance their performance in Science.

Thus, use of multimedia instruction is one of the innovative means to teach science.

Using of television, videos, or computer projector in classroom instruction particularly in

Science is considered the most useful and effective. It has been said that “ a picture is worth a

thousand words”, this is true in the application of audio-visual material in classroom

instruction. According to Abbot (2007), a person retains generally 10 percent of the

information he reads, 20 percent of what he hears and 30 percent of what he sees. To sum up,

he remembers 50 percent of what he hears and sees, and 70 percent of what he sees, hears

and discusses. According to Espinosa (2009), multimedia assisted instruction (MAI) is a

beneficial teaching learning technique that science learning would become more interesting

and challenging and thereby motivate pupils to learn more. However the role of teacher in this

kind of instruction is a facilitator and evaluator of the situation and learning.

II. Review of Related Literature

III. Research Questions

This study primarily aimed the impact of using Multimedia Assisted Instruction (MAI)

to enhance pupil’s performance in Science VI of San Vicente Elementary School.

Specifically, the study will attempt to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of performance of the pupils in the post-test over the pre-test?

2. What is the percentage of increase in the performance level of the pupils in the post-

test over the pre-test?

3. Is there significant difference in the level of performance on the per-test and post-test

scores of pupils?

4. Did the use of multimedia assisted instruction enhance the performance level of the

pupils?

5. What other plans that can be strategically implemented to enhance the performance

level of the pupils in Science.

IV. Scope and Limitation

This study will attempt to use MAI to the grade six classes of San Vicente Elementary

School during the academic year 2017-2018 (2nd and 3rd quarter), as a strategy to enhance the

pupil’s performance in Science. The researcher will use lessons/episodes in cd’s, dvd’s and

use of multimedia during teaching learning process. Pre and post test will be administered to

gauge the performance level of pupils.

V. Methodology

This study will used the one shot experimental and descriptive research design to

look into the impact of multimedia assisted instruction among grade six pupils of San Vicente

Elementary School, San Vicente – San Lorenzo Ruiz District.

The activities undertaken by the researcher, the data to be collected and the statistical treatment are

shown as follows:

The research paradigm is shown in figure 1. As revealed, MAI is a tool to assist

teacher in classroom instruction. The teacher’s role is facilitative in nature while MAI is going

on. After the viewing, the teacher wraps up the lesson and evaluates the results of instruction.

Expected outcomes of the instruction are improved pupils performance in science grade six in

terms of high mastery level, high retention rate and increased conceptualization.
