Effectiveness of Video Lecture Program on Academic Performance in Abstract Algebra: A Quasi- experimental Study among Mathematics major Students

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Video Lecture Program as an intervention to improve academic performance of second year BSEd major in Mathematics at Cotabato State University. A quasi-experimental research design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest design, was utilized. The research participants comprised thirty (30) BSEd students majoring in Mathematics at Cotabato State University College of Teacher Education. The pretest and posttest instrument used was a 30-Item validated Multiple Choice Test. Descriptive methods and paired sample t-tests for inferential analysis were employed to examine the data. The results revealed that the students’ pretest mean score was 13.87 and the level of understanding was low to moderate. After the video lecture program was implemented, the mean posttest score was 23.63. The statistical analysis revealed that values of pretest and posttest were significantly different with t value -10.924 and p value 0.001, which showed better results in posttest after the intervention. These findings suggest that the video lecture program may be associated with improved student performance in Abstract Algebra studies. Not having a control group makes it impossible for researchers to establish causal relationships between the variables that they investigate.
