SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents a summary of the study and its conclusions, and

recommendations.

SUMMARY

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Educational Videos in

improving the Phonics Recognition of Kindergarten Pupils.

Summary of findings

The findings of the study are the following:

1. The pretest mean score in phonics recognition of kindergarten pupils in

experimental group is 4.00, while in the control group is 3.29. The posttest

mean score in phonics recognition of kindergarten pupils in experimental

group is 4.72, while in the control group is 5.05.

2. There is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest in phonics

recognition of kindergarten pupils in experimental and control groups. This

implies that the experimental group and the control group both improved

significantly in their performance.

3. There is no significant difference between the posttest of the experimental

and control group. The result tells that there is no difference in the
 performance of the pupils even when taught traditionally or taught using

educational videos.

CONCLUSION

Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions are drawn;

1. The use of educational videos can improve the performance of learners in

phonics recognition. It is based on the pretest and posttest mean scores of

the pupils in the experimental and control group made a significant

difference.

2. There is no difference in the performance of the pupils taught traditionally

and taught using educational videos. It is based on the posttest between the

experimental and control group made no significant difference.

3. Educational videos cannot replace the teacher in the teaching and learning

process. These are not enough for presenting the lesson. It should be used to

make a connection on the concept being studied in class. Thus, integrating

videos in the lesson with the direct and explicit instruction of the teacher can

maximize the effectiveness of the video and learning.

RECOMMENDATIONS

In line with the findings of the study, the following are recommended:

1. Teachers can use educational videos as an educational tool to support the

advancement of skills specifically the phonics recognition of the students.

2. ADD ONSSSSSSSS……
