The findings of Fule as cited by Talabis (2002) that the use of Instruction Television (ITV) improved the student’s achievement in Mathematics. The mean score of the students through utilization of ITV can be concluded that the ITV improved the students’ achievement in Mathematics. Moreover, the attitude of the students towards mathematics improves after the use of ITV. Hence, it could be said that the ITV enhance students’ interest in mathematics.
De Luna (2005) find out in his study entitled “Development and Validation of Instructional Media in Teaching Selected Topics in Biology” that the produced instructional media in teaching selected topics in Biology is an effective tool for the students to gain knowledge- the ultimate goal of educational process.
Byrd (2004) find out in his study “Development and validation of PowerPoint Program in Teaching Selected Topics in Technology and Home Economics” that the difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the students of each group under the study was significantly different which indicates that both method of instruction were effective with reference to their pretest scores which were statistically similar. However, in terms of the posttest, the scores of the students in the PowerPoint program was significantly higher than those in traditional method it is therefore concluded that the computer-aided PowerPoint program is more powerful and effective than the traditional method of instruction .computer is not automatic replacement for instruction but developed and implement thoughtfully, if can yield successful results.
Cabauatan as cited by De Luna (2005) said in his study on the effectiveness of the DECS TV-Assisted Instruction in Science and Health IV. He found out that performance of the students increased to a certain level on satisfactory, very satisfactory and outstanding levels. The number of students who received outstanding grades increased from 2 to 4 and the number of students with moderately satisfactory grades increased from 7 to 12.
A study conducted by Alvarez as cited by De Luna (2005) entitled “Effectiveness and Acceptability of Video-Assisted Instruction in Teaching Physics” showed that the student exposed to video-aided instruction have better performance than those who taught the traditional way. The difference in the posttest means of the two groups revealed significance differences. She, however recommended the use of video-aide instruction to take place of the traditional lecture.
Talabis (2002) made a research on the use of video-aided instruction an alternative approach in teaching selected topics in college Algebra. The finding revealed that the video-aided instruction via traditional method is more effective in teaching college Algebra to first year technical students that the traditional method of teaching.
The previous study were related to the present since both dealt with the use of video instruction in teaching.
Del Rosario (2000) conducted a study on the video teaching strategy and module teaching approach in selected topics in Calculus. She found out that the participants who viewed the video performed better than those who read module. A multiple comparison test revealed that among the participants with high abilities those who used video outperformed those who received instruction through the module. Video enhance the performance of the students with high mathematical ability.
Benavidez as cited by Del Rosario (2000) that most of the respondents agree on the effectiveness of using audio-visual in mathematics instruction. Some of their comments pointing to the usefulness of audio-visual materials are; 1) they make learning more meaningful, permanent and enjoyable; 2) they stimulate self-activity; 3) they provide variety of experiences; and 4) they develop critical and logical thinking and reasoning.
