Effectiveness of Multimedia Integration on the Academic Performance in Grade 10 English

Aileen Caballes

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study examined the effectiveness of multimedia integration in enhancing the academic performance of Grade 10 students in English at Cabancalan National High School, Mandaue City, during the 2024–2025 school year. Based on Robert Lengel's Media Richness Theory and Noam Chomsky's Competence Theory, a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pre-test–post-test approach was employed to assess students' mastery of key competencies, including interpreting information from oral texts, understanding textual aids, and analyzing expanded word definitions. Various multimedia tools, including videos, interactive games, audio-visual presentations, and web-based platforms, were incorporated into classroom instruction over a six-week period. The findings revealed that multimedia-based learning significantly enhanced student engagement, comprehension, and overall performance, creating a more dynamic and interactive classroom environment. Students also reported positive experiences with multimedia, noting improvements in collaboration, critical thinking, ease of use, and satisfaction with the learning process. These results highlight the potential of multimedia integration as a powerful pedagogical strategy for enhancing English instruction and cultivating 21st-century skills within the Philippine education system.
