Abstract:

This study focused on determining the effectiveness of the utilization of Interactive Portable Module (IPM) in the teaching and learning process of Music concepts that aims to improve the academic performance as well as the level of motivation of the students. The participants of the study were from the Grade 10 junior high school students of Silae National High School who were officially enrolled in the School Year 2022-2023. The students were heterogeneous in composition and since the population of Grade 10 curriculum was only 56, all of them were chosen as the participants of the study. In this study, pre- experimental research design was used because it only involves a single group using non-probability sampling specifically total population sampling. Results in researchers made pre-test and post-test of music lessons serves as the academic performance of the students were compared and the outcome of the assessment in motivation level of the students was also analysed. The researchers made academic performance test had resulting Cronbach alpha value was 0.781 which means that the test items were good and adopted with modification a motivational survey questionnaire from Glynn & Koballa, 2006 with the Cronbach alpha value of 0.91.The mean scores of the students in pre-test and post-test increases and had a significant difference on the academic performance before and after the intervention of interactive portable modules (IPM) therefore the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It signifies that the applied intervention was effective enough in improving the academic performance of the students. The students also developed their motivation level into highly motivated wherein the students are much more interested and active in learning music concepts since the students motivation is highly associated with their academic performance.
