Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to determine teachers’-readiness in multimedia instruction of selected public elementary teachers of Makati, Philippines. The study verified teachers’ level of readiness in multimedia instruction; examined pupils’ level of interest in multimedia; tested the significant difference between teacher-readiness in multimedia instruction when grouped according to profile; determined significant relationship between pupils’ interest and teachers’ readiness in multimedia instruction; and identified problems encountered by the teacher in relation to multimedia instruction.The study used descriptive exploratory research design adopting both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The researcher used the purposive sampling method in choosing the teacher and pupil respondents of this study. Instruments of data collection were questionnaires, focus group discussion and interviews. The study employed statistical package to treat the data. The statistical tools used were frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, t-test, one-way Analysis of Variance, supported by Post- Hoc Analysis using Scheffe and Pearson r Coefficient of Correlation. The result of the study showed that teacher-respondents were mostly ready for multimedia instruction in terms of the use of multimedia device, mastery operation in microsoft application, and computer literacy. Others are ready in internet application and data management while the rest are slightly ready in advance computer applications. With the application of multi-media in instructions, the pupils were found very interested. The study further revealed that age, gender, and educational attainment have nothing to do with readiness in multimedia application, however, its usage was significant with length of service, level of literacy, internet application and data management. Likewise, target respondents have encountered problems. Generally, it can be inferred that those teachers and students who are ready who are ready to multimedia instructions are also those who are interested in its use. This study proposed the school management to 1) procure the multimedia devices; 2) that ICT managers adopt the proposed multimedia training design (TechY-Teachers) and to develop skill in media technology.
