Abstract:
This study investigated the effects of video lessons on the motivation of Grade 12 learners in the subject Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics. Conducted during the 2023-2024 academic year in a public national high school in Bukidnon, Philippines, the research involved 60 Senior High School learners from the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) track. A quasi-experimental design was employed, utilizing two intact heterogeneous classes: one experimental group and one control group, each consisting of 30 students. In the experimental group, learners engaged with video lessons, while those in the control group received conventional classroom teaching. Data was collected using a adapted and modified motivations scale, and analyzed with standard statistical methods, including mean, standard deviation, and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that the motivation levels of learners exposed to video lessons in Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics were categorized as "High Motivation," whereas those in the conventional classroom teaching group exhibited "Average Motivation." A significant difference in motivation between the two groups was found, highlighting the positive impact of video lessons on student engagement and motivation.
