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.
