“Effects of Instructive Animation on the Academic Performance and

Attitudes in Chemistry of Grade 9 Students” Unpublished Master’s
Thesis. Bukidnon State University, City of Malaybalay, March 2016”.

This study investigated the effects of instructive animation on the

academic performance and attitudes in chemistry of Grade 9 students.

This was conducted at Edna Guillermo Memorial National High School

during the second quarter of the school year 2015-2016.

This study used quasi-experimental non-equivalence static group

comparison pretest- posttest design. Two intact classes of 30 students

from each class were paired according to their first grading grades in

science. The class were classified either as the experimental or the

control group. Experimental group was taught with instructive animation

while the control group was taught with conventional method.

Both groups were given pretest and posttest using the researcher-

made achievement test to determine the academic performance of the

students. The chemistry attitude questionnaire was only administered to

the experimental group to assess their attitude towards chemistry after

being taught with instructive animation. Mean and standard deviation

were used in determining the academic performance of the students. The

results of the achievement test in the control and experimental group

were analyzed using ANCOVA. Whereas, the attitude results were treated

with mean and standard deviation.

 Findings revealed that the performance level for both experimental

and control group falls in the Did Not Meet Expectation (DNME). The

increase in the academic performance of grade 9 students taught with

instructive animation is higher compared to the students taught with

conventional method. It further revealed that there was a significant

difference in the academic performance in chemistry of grade 9 students

taught with instructive animation compared to those taught using

conventional method. Moreover, the grade 9 students taught with

instructive animation had developed strong favorable attitude towards

chemistry.
