| Summary: | This study seeks to find out the effect of using multimedia package (MMP) in teaching selected chemistry topics on the achievement of first year AB students. Significant differences in achievement among students speaking different dialects (muslim, chavacano and visayan) and the interaction effect between the method of instruction and the dialect spoken are also determined. The study was conducted at the Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), Zamboanga City, during the first semester of School Year 1997-1998. The study is an experimental research using the Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The control group was exposed to the usual chalk-talk lecture method (CTLM) of teaching whereas the experimental group was exposed to the MMP. The MMP made use of three different strategies in teaching selected topics in chemistry. These were radio-drama (audiovis-drama), comics/cartoons (chemi-cartoons) and graphic presentation technique. ANCOVA computations indicated that at the 0.05 level of significance, there was a significant difference in the achievement between the students who were taught selected chemistry topics using the MMP and those taught using the CTLM. Findings also indicated that there was no significant difference in the achievement of the students speaking different dialects and that there was no significant interaction effect between the method of instruction and the dialect spoken by the students. The results implied that the students exposed to the MMP performed better than those exposed to the CTLM. Findings also suggested that the dialect spoken by the students do not affect the performance of the students. The use of MMP worked well regardless of whether the student spoke the muslim dialect or chavacano dialect or visayan dialect. |
