Abstract
This action research examined the effectiveness of video explainers in improving the Science performance of Grade VI learners at Burayukan Elementary School during the fourth quarter of School Year 2025–2026. Recognizing that elementary learners are highly engaged by visual media, the study integrated video-based lessons as a supplementary instructional tool in Science VI. A quantitative research design, specifically a one-group pretest–posttest design, was employed. Frequency counts and mean scores were used to determine learners’ performance levels before and after the intervention. Results showed a substantial increase in performance, with the mean pretest score of 18.35 improving to a mean posttest score of 27.77. Statistical analysis using the t-test revealed a computed t-value of -24.20 and a p-value of 0.00, which is below the 0.05 level of significance. This indicates a significant difference between pretest and posttest results, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The findings suggest that the use of video explainers is an effective strategy for enhancing learners’ understanding and academic performance in Science.The results of the data analysis revealed a significant difference in learners’ performance before and after the use of video explainers. The findings indicate that video-based lessons effectively addressed learners’ difficulties in understanding scientific concepts and improving comprehension in Science VI. Moreover, the use of video explainers contributed to an increase in the overall performance level of Grade VI learners during the fourth quarter. Based on these results, it is recommended that teachers integrate video explainers not only in Science but also across other learning areas to enhance student engagement and academic achievement.
