Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The study focused on the effects of multimedia resources on students’ engagement and performance in college mathematics courses at Batangas State University during the academic year 2023-2024. The main respondents were college students taking different math classes. They were chosen using a method called "stratified random sampling" to make sure that there were responses from students in a range of academic years and fields. The findings revealed that the utilization of multimedia resources has a significant influence on the participation levels, quality of interaction, behavioral engagement, and peer collaboration of students in learning mathematics courses. Also, participation levels, quality of interaction, behavioral engagement, and peer collaboration among students in learning mathematics courses are significantly influenced by their assessment before and after utilizing multimedia resources. Then, the pre-test and post-test scores of students using multimedia resources show a significant increase in terms of different lessons in mathematics courses. Moreover, students' mathematics grades improve noticeably when they use multimedia resources. Multimedia resources significantly impact students' engagement and performance in college mathematics courses and have profound implications for instructional practices. Further, students’ performance is significantly correlated with their engagement in mathematics courses. As an outcome of the findings and the conclusions, the following recommendations were enumerated such as Teachers may incorporate various teaching methods, such as lectures, group discussions, hands-on activities, and technology-driven tools (e.g., virtual simulations), to address different learning styles and may connect mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios and applications; Teachers may encourage collaborative projects and study groups that allow students to work together on problem-solving tasks and may use frequent low-stakes assessments (quizzes, polls, or one-minute reflections) to gauge student understanding and provide timely feedback. This method helps identify areas needing reinforcement before major exams; Students may actively participate in class discussions and ask questions, and they may also take advantage of supplemental resources such as tutoring centers, online tutorials, and study groups.
