Discipline: Education

 

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.
