Utilization Of Videocast In Enhancing Audio-Visual Learning Skill Of Grade 7 Students

This study investigates the enhancement of audio-visual learning skills among twelve Grade 7 students at Santa Cruz Integrated National High School (Main) through researcher-developed videocasts. Utilizing an explanatory mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative data from pre-tests and post-tests, followed by qualitative data to thoroughly assess student outcomes. A case study framework is employed to evaluate learning progress, while a quasi-experimental design measures the effects of a two-week intervention. The researchers selected the 12 participants through purposive sampling from a sample of 41 students across two sections. Initial pre-test results revealed that students using audio-visual methods exhibited "fair" to "satisfactory" learning skills. However, following the intervention, post-test scores demonstrated significant improvement, with students achieving "very satisfactory" to "excellent" levels. A t-test was performed to analyze the differences between pre-test and post-test performance, confirming that these improvements were statistically significant. Additionally, a one-way ANOVA analysis indicated that variations in learning styles did not significantly impact post-test outcomes. Collectively, these findings suggest that the integration of videocasts substantially enhanced the audio-visual learning skills of the students.
