| Abstract |
Mother Tongue-Based-Multilingual Education has been shown
to improve the academic performance of early-grade learners. However,
challenges such as inaccessibility and lack of contextualized materials in
the mother tongue (MT) have hindered students' full engagement in
learning. To address this, a quasi-experimental study was conducted
with struggling first-grade learners (n=60) to investigate the effectiveness
of researcher-developed e-learning materials for early reading in MT.
Instruments used in this study included a researcher-created storyboard
for video creation, with its dialogue and storyline; the test
questionnaires, adapted from the MT-based Curriculum Guide of the
Department of Education in the Philippines, for measuring participants脙聝脗垄脙聜脗聙脙聜脗聶
reading performance in phonic and word recognition. The pre-test and
post-test data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and a t-test
at a 5% significance level. Qualitative data extracted through interviews
were analyzed thematically, while a four-point Likert scale was used to
interpret the overall rating of the e-learning materials. The content and
ICT experts measured the e-learning materials脙聝脗垄脙聜脗聙脙聜脗聶 validity and
effectiveness. The results illustrated e-learning materials like video
stories and PowerPoint presentations, developed using the ADDIE
(Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation)
model, improved learners' letter-sound and word-blending abilities.
Experts rated the materials excellent for technical standards, content
quality, and effectiveness. The e-learning materials as a pedagogical
intervention in early reading are innovative, interactive, and engaging
and can potentially enhance early graders' reading performance. Future
research can explore design or layout modification of the materials
creatively to enhance learner engagement in early-grade MT instruction. |
