Improving the Performance Practice of 21st Century Music of Grade 10 Students Through Digital Learning Material

Abstract

This Action Research was conducted to test the effectiveness of digital learning material in the form of video lesson in improving the performance practice of 20^th music of Grade 10 students. This research was participated by the Grade 10 students of Sanchez Mira School of Arts and Trades, Sanchez Mira District for the School Year 2021-2022. The researcher used quasi-experimental research design in this study, specifically a one group pretest - posttest design. The instrument was reviewed and validated by the School/District Research Screening Committee. The study's findings show a significant difference in participants' achievement levels before and after using the digital learning material, and using descriptive statistical tools such as percentage, mean, and standard deviation (SD) to show the mean distances of their scores, students' performance during the post-test is somewhat better. The statistical tool t-test: Paired Sample strongly suggests that there is a significant improvement in the participants' performance following the intervention. The Cohen’s D outcome is consistent with the fact that the intervention used in this study had a significant impact on the learners' performance and learning experience in music during the pandemic. It implies that supplementary digital materials and online classes in teaching music are important during the pandemic. It is suggested that Grade 10 teachers consider using digital learning material in the form of video lessons in their respective classes to improve their students' performance practice of twentieth-century music. School leaders should use the study's findings to develop programs and initiatives in their respective schools
