Carlo Vincent J. Jordan

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of multimedia-based learning approach in enhancing the disaster preparedness of selected Junior Science High School students. This study consists of two groups. Each group consists of 35 students. The first group was assigned as the Control group and the second group was assigned as the Experimental group. The Control group was taught using the explicit method while the Experimental group was taught using the multimedia-based approach. Pre-test was administered to the groups and the result of this test, shows that there is no significant difference between the control and experimental group (p<0.0057). On the other hand, post-test revealed that there is a significant difference between the control and experimental groups (p<0.00).
