Effects of Multimedia in Teaching Science Implication to Practice in Secondary Basic Education

Given its positive influence on the teaching and learning process, the promising effect of multimedia in education has proved its significance. This study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of multimedia in teaching secondary science subject. An experiment of two equivalent groups was designed, one is experimental and the other is controlled each of them consists of 40 respondents of mixed gender male and female . Discussion was made to the first group using multi media presentations video clips generated from the internet treated as the experimental group. While the second group was given the same lecture using the traditional method which used the dialog and discussion technique treated as a control group. Both groups were subjected to pre and post test in the discussions or lectures on Gas Laws specifically Boyle's Law. The analysis result of the pre test showed no significant differences, which in turn proves the equivalence of the two groups. Meanwhile, the analysis result of the post test showed that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group at a significance level of 0.05 for the interest of the experimental group. Since the students in Chemistry showed positive attitude towards the subject and towards the integration use of multimedia technology, then it is highly recommended that the administration and the faculty should work hand in hand in maintaining the learning environment conducive for learning by providing multimedia technologies such as Smart TV, allowing gadgets like cellphones, laptops, tabs, etc. inside the classrooms so that learning will be smoothly delivered with authenticity.
