Printed and Audio-visual Aided Modular Learning Deliveries in Relation to Students’ Performance in Science 10

The quasi-experimental study has reported for the first time the benefits of a learning delivery modality where Printed Modular Learning Delivery (PMLD) was upgraded to Audio-visual Aided Modular Learning Delivery (AMLD) in order to level up students’ performance in Science. This aimed to compare the students’ performance in Science 10 utilizing PMLD and AMLD.  The population of ninety (n = 90) student-participants at Lebak National High School were divided into two groups - under PMLD as control and under AMLD as experimental.   The performances of students were assessed through the pre-test and post-test questionnaires while the motivation and interest of the AMLD group of students were determined through a survey questionnaire. The difference between the pre-test and post-test performance of the students in the two groups was assessed using the t-Test.   Then, descriptive analysis was employed to ascertain the values students had obtained from the audio-visual-assisted modular instruction in Science 10. Both control (PMLD) and experimental (AMLD) groups show poor performance in the pre-test and average performance in the post-test.   The post-test performance of the students under PMLD does not differ significantly from the performance of the students under the AMLD.   The utilization of audio-visual aids (AMLD) in learning Science 10, particularly on the topics of mirror and lenses, has not demonstrated an advantage over the PMLD.  However, the AMLD students’ motivation and interest are both high with the utilization of audio-visual aids with the modular learning delivery.
