Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The study aimed to determine the Teachers’ perception on the use of multimedia in teaching Mathematics at Sta. Cruz Elementary School District I – A, Division of Antipolo City during the School Year 2018 – 2019.The study found out that most of the respondents were young with the age bracket ranging from 31 – 40 years of age. Majority of the respondents were female and have been working with the school below 10 years. 47% of them are on Master’s level, and no one is a doctorate graduate. The respondents’ level in terms of their knowledge of using computers is found to be highly competent.The test for significant difference on the perception of teachers on the use of multimedia instructional materials with respect to their age, length of service, educational attainment and level of computer knowledge failed to reject the null hypothesis, while in terms of the gender, the null hypothesis is accepted.The teachers’ perception of the use of multimedia instructional materials in teaching mathematics is very effective on pupils’ motivation and much effective on lesson presentation and learning assessment. The test for the significant difference in the teachers’ perception on the use of multimedia instructional materials and the academic performance of pupils rejected the null hypothesis.
