 Introduction
PowerPoint is a fundamental teaching tool that teachers use constantly to present material. They also

used it to summarize the key elements of the curriculum. PowerPoint presentations can be highly
effective

since it is provided by visual information such as photographs, charts, or diagrams. Visual information

can stay in the students’ memory for a long time more than unwritten information.

Nowadays, the term technology is an important issue in many fields including education. This is

because technology has become the knowledge transfer highway in most country. According to (Grabe,

2007), Technology integration nowadays has gone through innovations and transformed our societies
that

has totally changed the way people think, work and live.

Traditional methods are no longer responding to the needs of students nor increasing their cognitive

progress. (Timmerman and Kruepke,2006) reported that the students who learnt by traditional ways get

lower marks than those who learnt by using modern techniques like smart boards. PowerPoint is an

excellent program that offers animation which software cannot beat. It is perfect and flexible solution
that

works with dozens of thirty-party tools.

 Literature Review

According to (Drouin, et al. 2013) students prefer PowerPoint lectures. They rated lectures with

PowerPoint slides more highly than those without slides. Also giving higher rating to their course and

self-efficacy (Suskind, 2005) and to their instructor (Nouri 2005) when their lectures used PowerPoint.

To anyone who has endured a boring, dense slide presentation, a PowerPoint lectures main weakness

might be its potential for monotony. Of course, traditional lecture can be boring and either style of
lecture

can be interesting. (El Khoury and Mattar 2012) found no statistically significant differences in students’

rating of their formats as “entertaining” or boring”. The study found that PowerPoint use decreased

students preferred traditional lecture. For (Drouin, et al.2013) the latter finding is unusual in the
research,

however, and maybe related to students’ tendency to prefer technology uses with which they are most

familiar. Students typically prefer lectures with PowerPoint and they believe that it is a pattern that
points

to the gap between students’ learning and their perceptions of their learning.

If PowerPoint is used in lectures, the best practices to limit the amount of information contained on
each slide, and to consider developing slides that use the assertion evidence (A-E) approach to the

presentation of information.

Despite the enthusiastic assertions of its proponents, PowerPoint is not naturally capable of
captivating

students. By placing too much trust in the program to "turn a normal class into a dynamic, even

memorable session," teachers abdicate their own responsibilities. Presenters who project PowerPoint

slides onto a screen and then read the content of each slide aloud until the presentation is over are the
best

examples of such unfounded faith. Implicit in such behavior is the assumption that teaching is nothing

more than the delivery of content, and that PowerPoint presents content in a format that naturally attracts

students' attention. However, Garmston (2000) asserted that "if learning is the goal, audience
participation

with the content is always more important than the information itself.

Essence, using electronic technology to teach is no different than using chalk and a blackboard. The

choice to use any type of technology in teaching should only be made in the later stages of course
design,

when course goals, structure, and assignments have already been developed, according to Chickering
and

Ehrmann's observation (1996) that "for any given instructional strategy, some technologies are better
than

others." directs the conversation about proper PowerPoint usage in the correct direction. The choice to
incorporate technology into the classroom should only be considered in the final phases of course
design,

after the objectives, organization, and assignments have been established. Technology shouldn't be a

requirement or an extra, but rather a tool for achieving the course's objectives. Thus, just like writing on

a blackboard, printed handouts, videos or films, or any other teaching medium, PowerPoint "must be
used

flexibly and sparingly to facilitate audience involvement with its material"(p.77) similar to writing on a

white or black board written materials, movies or videos, or any other educational method.

Even though PowerPoint cannot by itself make a boring lecture interesting, it may still be useful in
the

classroom. According to Tuffe “the hierarchical market pitch of the PowerPoint templates is opposed

to the essential notions of teaching explanation, reasoning, finding things out, question, content, proof

and trustworthy authority not patronizing authoritarianism. The key using any technology effectively is
to

keep in mind what the course really about. “tolls in themselves accomplish nothing, unless they are

employed for the appropriate tasks and wielded with skill and precision.” but the crucial question for

teachers are always why and how am I using this activity to promote the goals of my course.

Theoretical Framework
 Multimedia is the use of a computer to present and combine text, graphics, audio, and video with

links and tools that let the user navigate, interact, create, and communicate. This definition contains four

components essential to multimedia. First, there must be a computer to coordinate what you see and

hear, and to interact with. Second, there must be links that connect the information. Third, there must be

navigational tools that let you traverse the web of connected information. Finally, because multimedia is

not a spectator sport, there must be ways for you to gather, process, and communicate your own

information and ideas.

We distinguish that today’s technology plays an important role in pedagogy. When teachers or

students use PowerPoint presentation inside the classroom in fact it is there way to attract their

audience/listeners attention, so that they can enhance effective ways of learning.

The paradigm below shows the IPO process of how PowerPoint presentation on the academic

performances of students and on how teachers present their lesson. Paper and pencil evaluation will take

place according to age and sex in the process. The output will take place where we determine the impact

of using PowerPoint presentation.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to examine if using PowerPoint presentation in Evelio Javier Memorial National
High

School-Main can improve the efficiency of teaching and learning. It also intends to determine the Impact

of the role of the technology on motivation of the students to learn. So, the study addresses the following
questions:
A. Does teaching using PowerPoint presentations contribute to better learning compared to traditional
way of teaching?
B. Does the use of technology in classroom have any impact on students towards learning of all students
In Evelio Javier Memorial National High School?
C. Was there a significant difference in the use of PowerPoint presentations and traditional method of
teachers that can either impact to the Academic Performances of the students in Evelio Javier Memorial
National High School-Main?

Methodology

This study was specifically designed for Evelio Javier Memorial National High School and teachers.

Wherein, the students and teachers are considered as the primary costumer and most vivid users of

PowerPoint presentation.

Participants
The participants comprise of 100 students and all teachers of High School for the school year

2022-2023. We the researchers are going to include using of presentations of methods, processes

and procedures. And also, will talk about the research design population and locale of the study data

collection instruments and the treatment of data.

Instruments

In gathering the primary data, the researchers will use a paper pencil, and questionnaires which will

serve as a basis in conducting the interviews to the perspective respondents. Below is the sample of the
survey questionnaire. (Appendix A)

Procedure for Data Collection

The researchers will ask for the approval of the School head through a letter to proceed with
gathering

of data. They facilitate the interview then administer the questionnaires to the respondents. After the

interview, they will make analyzation in data gathering.
