Abstract
The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Audio Podcast-Based Learning Approach in teaching Chemistry in modular distance learning students at Binan Integrated National High School. The researcher developed an eight-episode audio podcast of the lessons based on the Self-Learning Modules. These are validated by seventy (70) science experts based on the validated survey questionnaire considering the following criterion: content, appropriateness, duration, voice modulation and technical aspects. There are a total of 140 students as respondents of the study. A combination of product development and quasi-experimental method were used as the research design of the study. The mean and standard deviation was used to determine the level of acceptability of the Audio Podcast in terms of content, appropriateness, duration, voice modulation and technical aspects, and the learners? pre-test and post-test performance in Chemistry. Paired t-test was used to determine the significant differences between the pre-test and post-test scores. While on the qualitative part, thematic analysis of the students? perceptions was utilized. Data analysis revealed that the level of acceptability of the Audio podcast in terms of content, appropriateness, duration, voice modulation and technical aspects resulted in a very high extent with the following mean: 4.79, 4.73, 4.64, 4.68 and 4.73 respectively. The level of learners? performance in Chemistry resulted a great improvement after the utilization of the Podcast based on pretest and post test scores from SD of 5.42 to 3.96. There is a significant difference in the level of learners? performance in Chemistry as evidenced by the difference between the comparison of mean and standard deviation. The study also found that the audio podcast demonstrated a positive views and response on the utilization based on the analysis of students? perceptions. Based on the results and conclusion, the Audio Podcast-Based Approach developed is highly acceptable and effective in teaching Chemistry on the modular distance learning students at Binan Integrated National High School and created an impact on the students? learnings and it builds an effective connection with the subject matter and their subject teacher.
