CONTEXT AND RATIONALE According to the WHO (2020) the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and world of work. The fear brought by coronavirus has changed the world, along with this the education across the globe has been also changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of the Distance Learning such as Modular Distance Learning (MDL), whereby printed or digital format/electronic copy of Self-Learning Modules are given individually; Online Distance Learning (ODL), whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms; and TV/Radio-Based Instruction, whereby SLMs converted to video lessons for Television-Based Instruction and SLMs converted to radio script for Radio-Based Instruction. To continue the education despite these difficult times, the Department of Education released DepEd Order Number 18, Series 2020 that establishes the guidelines on the release, utilization, and liquidation of support funds for the printing and delivery of Self-Learning Modules and other resources. Many of the schools have chosen printed Self-Learning Modules especially the elementary levels. However, according to Florida Center for Instructional Technology, Colleges of Education, University of South Florida (2009) that the use of printed materials has disadvantages on learning-process for the reasons that printed materials do not provide built-in interactions, no audio/visual elements, printed materials require reading skills because when the learners are non-reader or the language skills are required, the printed materials will not be effective and it may sometime cause time delay. The printed materials may 1 not enough to enhance the mastery level of the learners; hence, additional technologies must be supplemented. Some learners need supplement materials in order to achieve their mastery level, this is because of cognitive factors that refers to the mental processes the learners undergo as they process an information (Bulusan, F., Raquepo, M., and Guitierrez, J., 2019). The teacher needs to understand how learners develop in order to provide them with the best learning experience (Rungduin, T., and Rungduin, D., 2019). The teacher also needs to promote the retention of knowledge through the use of engaging strategies designed to rehearse and practice skills for the purpose of moving knowledge into long-term memory (Cuartel, I., 2012). Thus, the proponents believe that the use of AudioVisual Material (Video) helps to increase the mastery level of the learners on the specific subject matter. In line with this concept is the DepEd Order 108, S. 1990 titled “Regulating the Showing of Motion Pictures/Films in School” stated that the use of Audio-Visual Aids and other teaching devices, e.g., radio, television, movies, to facilitate learning in schools, is highly encouraged. AudioVisual Materials are those materials that appeal to the senses of seeing and hearing simultaneously. It helps in sustaining and maintaining student’s interest (Abamuche, J., and Ibe, E., 2019). The use of Audio-Visual Materials has a positive change on the learner’s performance and improving their ability (Salazar, GU., and Larenas, CD., 2018). And according to Batool, S. and Rasul, S. (2011) “Audio-Visual Aids are the best tools for making learning-process effective and the best of dissemination of knowledge”. 2 The proponents also believe that with the use of Audio-Visual Material (Video) will increase the pupils’ performance in intermediate Mathematics of Esperanza Central Elementary School. In addition, this teacher-made Audio-Visual Material (Video) is an advanced type of power point presentation, whereby the pupils can see the face of the teacher while discussing the lesson. It can be played by the learners any time of the day. It can be played on PC/laptops, netbooks/tablets, smart tv and even in mobile phones or smartphones with no internet connection needed and no TV network/s is/are required to play. This study will motivate other subject teachers of Esperanza Central Elementary School to use Audio-Visual Material (Video) as one of the best intervention tools to increase the mastery level of the slow learners and/or to improve the Least Learned Competencies. 3 II. ACTION RESEARCH QUESTIONS The goal of this study is to determine the effect of the use of Audio-Visual Material (Video) on pupils’ performance in intermediate Mathematics. Specifically, it aims to answer the following: 1. What is the level of pupils’ performance based on the pre-test and post-test results using the two strategies in learning Mathematics: 1.a. Printed Self-learning modules 1.b. Audio-Visual Material (Video) 2. Is there a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test results between: 2.a. Printed Self-learning modules 2.b. Audio-Visual Material (Video) 4 III. PROPOSED INNOVATION, INTERVENTION, AND STRATEGY This study will be conducted on April, 2021 and will end on August, 2021 under the School Year 2020-2021. The target respondents on this study are the intermediate pupils (grades 4 to 6) of Esperanza Central Elementary School with the total enrolment of 350. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of the use of Audio-Visual Material (Video) especially the mastery level of the pupils’ performance in intermediate Mathematics of Esperanza Central Elementary School, specifically the Least Learned Competencies where pupils found difficult. Thus, the proponents decide to develop contextualized or selfmade Audio-Visual Material (Video) on which the proponents believe that with the use of this material, the retention of the learners on the subject matter will increase and the learning-process will become more attainable. Theproponents themselves will personally make the Audio-Visual Material (Video)that will be used throughout the study. The said material will be validated by the School Quality Assurance Team before the application. The following research instruments will be used during the conduct of the study: 1. Audio-Visual Material (Video) In this study the proponents will use the Audio-Visual Material (Video). It is an advanced type of power point presentation, whereby it will show the face of the teacher on the screen during the delivery of the lesson. The making and including the editing process of this video will only take 2 – 3 hours, estimated. This material doesn’t need TV network/s to play and also internet connection is not required. It can be played by the learners any time of the day. It can be 5 played on PC/laptops, netbooks/tablets, smart tv and even in mobile phones or smartphones. This is for the learners to learn and retain the concept better and longer duration; hence, the teachers need this Audio-Visual Material (Video) to help deliver the lesson effectively especially during this time of pandemic. Unlike traditional printed materials, this Audio-Visual Material (Video) will remove abstract concepts through visual and it will provide learning experience that improves learner’s critical thinking. This teacher-made Audio-Visual Material (Video) will bring the classroom to the home of every learner. 2. Pre-test/Post-test The teacher-made test questionnaires will have a total item of 30 which designed to measure the mastery level of the pupils. This will be a multiplechoice type of test. The test items will be carefully analyzed. This will be categorized into three, namely; easy (75%) which consists of 22 items, moderate (15%) which consists 5 items and the difficult (10%) which consists of 3 items. Moreover, the test questionnaires will be validated by the School Quality Assurance Team. The pre-test will be done into two group of respondents (the experimental group and the control group) before the test will be given. Both groups will answer the pre-test as well as the post-test where test questions are the same. The pre-test will be answered within 1.5 hour and the post-test as well. 6 IV. ACTION RESEARCH METHODS a. Participants and/or other Sources of Data and information This study will be composed of respondents from intermediate pupils (grades 4 to 6) who are currently enrolled in Esperanza Central Elementary School with a total enrolment of 350. A random selection will be employed during the conduct of the study. Since, in every learner, the mathematical ability and understanding differ from one another; hence, the respondents will be grouped according to their grade level, each grade level consists of three sections. The randomly selected 113 pupils will be using Audio-Visual Material (Video) and the other 237 pupils will be using SLMs. The Grade 4 section Prudence with 30 pupils will be exposed to the Audio-Visual Material (Video) while the other two sections (Diligence and Humility) will use the SLMs. Grade 5 section Modesty with 40 pupils will use Audio-Visual Material (Video) and the remaining two sections (Fortune and Wisdom) will be given SLMs. Grade 6 Purity with 43 pupils will be exposed to Audio-Visual Material (Video), while section Patience and Fortitude will use the SLMs. 7 Table 1.

Data Gathering Methods After the approval of the action research proposal, the proponents will start the study in cooperation with the intermediate Mathematics teachers, the parents and with the coordination of the school principal and the barangay officials of Poblacion, Esperanza, Agusan del Sur. The proponents together with other intermediate Mathematics teachers of Esperanza Central Elementary School will identify the Least Learned Competencies of intermediate Mathematics. The pre-test and post-test will be done into two group of respondents (the experimental group and the control group) where test questions are the same. During the conduct of the study, only the experimental group will use the Audio-Visual Material (Video) while the control group will continue to use the printed SLMs. Both groups have the same lesson, Moreover, the scores in pretest as well as the post-test will be both tailed and will be interpreted through statistical analysis to determine the level of academic performance of intermediate pupils and to determine if there is a significant difference before and after the treatment. c. Data Analysis Plan This study will use the quantitative research design on determining the effect of the use of Audio-Visual Material (Video) on pupils’ performance in intermediate Mathematics of Esperanza Central Elementary School. The Mean and Standard Frequency Counts will be used in determining the MPs of pretest and post-test. The T-test analysis will be used also to determine the level of academic performance of intermediate pupils in Mathematics subject and to 9 determine the significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results from the respondents. 10 V.
