Abstract
One of the distance learning modalities is the utilization of video lessons.
Several meta-analyses have shown that technology can enhance learning (e.g.,
Schmid et al., 2014), and multiple studies have shown that video, specifically, can be
a highly effective educational tool (e.g., Kay, 2012; Allen and Smith, 2012; Lloyd and
Robertson, 2012; Rackaway, 2012; Hsin and Cigas, 2013. With this, the teacher
researcher has made use of this as an intervention to take action on the low
performance of the learners.
This study focused on the utilization of video lesson to improve the academic
performance of the learners of Bulahan Integrated School during the school year
2021-2022. 10 students each year level from Kinder to Grade 10, a total of 110
students were the participants and have undergone pretest and posttest. This study
employed the comparative method wherein it was used in getting the mean of the
test results done by the participants. The pretest was given to the students. After the
pretest was answered and checked, the same test was given to the students with
the aid of video lesson. To see the improvement of the students’ academic
performance, the pretest and posttest were compared. The data and information
gathered were systematically checked, computed, tabulated and interpreted.
The study revealed that with the use of video lesson, the scores of the
participants have increased and have shown improvement when compared to their
scores without the use of the intervention. Backed with the data presented in this
research, the study recommends that video lessons can be used in improving the
academic performance of the learners.

educational tool (e.g., Kay, 2012; Allen and Smith, 2012; Lloyd and Robertson,
2012; Rackaway, 2012; Hsin and Cigas, 2013. Students today are using educational
videos as a tool for learning everything: from basic skills - like changing a tire - to the
latest dance craze. Abstract topics that once seemed difficult to teach and learn are
educational video platforms for online learning. Other studies have also shown that
the use of video clips allows for more efficient processing and memory recall. The
visual and auditory nature of videos appeals to a wide audience and allows each
With this, the researcher will make use of video lessons to improve the
academic performance of the learners. The said video lessons will be made and
posted via online platforms such as Facebook and Messenger group chats for the
learners to access. For those learners who have no access to the internet, the video
will be shared offline via sharing apps (e.g. Bluetooth and ShareIt) during the
After the learners have watched the video lesson and passed their answer
sheets, the researcher will see if there is an improvement by comparing their scores
The participants of this study are the learners of Bulahan Integrated School
from Kindergarten to Grade 10. A total of three hundred seven learners will
participate in the study. Table 1 shows the participants in each grade level.
