THE EFFECTS OF MULTIMEDIA-BASED INSTRUCTION TOWARDS THE ENGLISH PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 10 STUDENTS

Abstract

Teachers must place a major focus on teaching students’ teamwork, critical thinking, and communication skills while also emphasizing the 21st century learning style to enhance the educational system. This study aimed to determine how multimedia may be used to increase student engagement and active learning in English classes. The Grade 10 students at Sta. Maria National High School, Sta. Maria, Trento, and Agusan del Sur served as the study's subjects. The experimental and control groups both received pre- and post-tests. The experimental group got multimedia-based training, while the control group was taught using traditional methods such as chalk and talk. Following the intervention, students’ academic performance greatly improved. The students responded favorably to the utilization of a PowerPoint presentation, video, audio, flashcards, and charts as a component of a multimedia-based education program. As a result, it was discovered that teaching English 10 effectively involves employing multimedia-based training. The results of this study thus advise teachers, particularly at the secondary level, to incorporate the use of multimedia techniques in English topics to increase the students' involvement and active learning. This complies with the requirements of contemporary pedagogy, which further promotes an atmosphere of active learning in the classroom.
