Multimedia Technology, Students’ Academic PerformanceAbstract
The integration of computer technology and multimedia in education has transformed the way students engage with learning inside the classroom. This study examined the role of multimedia technology in instruction and its impact on students’ academic performance. Specifically, it explored the characteristics of respondents, the extent of multimedia technology usage in teaching, the level of students’ academic performance, and the relationships between these variables. The study involved 195 public elementary school teachers from selected districts in the Misamis Oriental division. A descriptive correlational research design and purposive sampling technique were employed, utilizing a structured and adapted questionnaire. Data analysis included descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s r correlation. Findings indicated that multimedia technology was extensively utilized in teaching, and students demonstrated a highly satisfactory academic performance. However, no significant correlation was found between the use of multimedia technology and students’ academic outcomes. Conversely, a significant relationship emerged between teachers’ characteristics and their usage of multimedia technology. These findings suggest that teachers’ attributes influence their adoption of multimedia tools, underscoring the importance of professional development in technology integration. The study recommends the continued use of multimedia platforms to enhance instructional strategies, emphasizing the need for regular feedback from educators. Such feedback fosters collaboration between teachers and developers, ensuring that multimedia tools evolve to meet educators’ needs effectively. This ongoing refinement process enhances accessibility, engagement, and adaptability, ultimately supporting the dynamic demands of modern education.
