Effectiveness of a Contextualized Interactive Multimedia for Grade 8 Science Students

Abstract:
The Computer-Assisted Instruction is undertaken widely
to catch interest and to improve student’s performance.
This Descriptive and Quasi- Experimental research was
anchored in determining the effects of the developed and
validated Contextualized Interactive Multimedia (CIMM)
to the non-equivalent groups of grade 8 students of
Tanglag National High School in their Science subject. To
determine the level of interest of the population toward
Science subject, the researcher utilized a 10-item surveyquestionnaire called Test of Related Science Attitude
(TORSA). Additionally, a researcher-made pretest and
posttest questionnaires were administered to determine
the academic performance of the respondents. Findings
showed that there is an increase in the academic
performance and interest toward Science of the
experimental group who was exposed to the CIMMs.
Moreover, significant differences do not exist between
the results of the posttests of both groups. However, a
significant difference can be noted between the
controlled and experimental groups’ attitude toward
Science subjects after the implementation of the
intervention.
