This study sought the effectiveness of film in novel’s plot analysis of second year
1. What is the difference between the prior knowledge and learning outcome of the
uncontrolled group?
2. What is the difference between the prior knowledge and learning outcome of the
3. What is the difference between the learning outcomes of the controlled and
uncontrolled group?
4. Is there a significant difference between the prior knowledge and learning outcomes
Hypothesis
The researchers used the experimental method. The experiment was conducted in order to
uncontrolled group and a controlled group. The controlled group received a different
treatment under investigation while the uncontrolled group received the usual method it
Statistical Treatment
vii
The following statistical tools were utilized in the presentation and analysis of
data.
MEAN
The mean was used to calculate the central tendency of response of the
∑x
WM = ______
N
Where:
M = mean
∑ = summation
x = raw score
T for Independent Means formula was used to calculate the difference of the pre-test
results as well as the post-test results of the uncontrolled group and the controlled group.
Where:
T for Dependent Means formula was used to calculate the difference of the pre-test
results to the post-test results of the uncontrolled group and the difference of the pre-test
results to the post-test results of the controlled group.
t=
Where:
d = the summation of the difference of the paired data divided by the number of
subjects
Summary of Findings
Based on the analysis and interpretation of data gathered, the findings are:
1. Is there a significant increase between the prior knowledge (pre-test) and learning
a. The average of the pre test result of the uncontrolled group is 33.3.
b. The average of the post test result of the uncontrolled group is 57.
c. There is a significant increase between the pre test result and the
post test result of the students who had a discussion about the novel
Macbeth.
2. Is there a significant increase between the prior knowledge (pre-test) and learning
a. The average of the pre test result of the controlled group is 27.25.
b. The average of the post test result of the controlled group is 50.21.
c. There is a significant increase between the pre test result and the post test
result of the students who had a film viewing of the novel Macbeth.
3. Is there a significant increase between the learning outcomes of the controlled and
uncontrolled group?
c. There is no significant increase between the post test results of the two
groups.
Conclusions
1. Is there a significant increase between the prior knowledge (pre-test) and learning
Since the computed t-value is -9.28 which is not greater than the critical value
-1.73, the researchers therefore assert that there is a significant increase in post
test results of the uncontrolled group compared to their pre-test results. It proves
that the lecture method has an effect on the performance of the participants and
that they can achieve better if lecture is used as method in teaching Novel’s plot
analysis.
2. Is there a significant Increase between the prior knowledge (pre-test) and learning
Since the computed t-value is -11.28 which is greater than the critical value
post test results of the controlled group compared to their pre-test results. It is
concluded that the film-showing also affect the performance of the participants
xi
and that their learning outcome also improved in terms of the Novel’s plot
analysis.
Since the computed t-value is -1.71 which is not greater than the critical
involving the post test results of the uncontrolled group and the controlled group.
It depicts that the lecture method and the film-showing have the same
Recommendations
Based on the findings and conclusions formulated, the researchers offered the
following recommendations:
1. The traditional method increases the prior knowledge of the learners regarding the
2. Viewing of the novel film adaptation is also effective in increasing the prior
knowledge of the learners regarding the novel plot analysis and for that reason
xii
film showing may be executed in teaching and developing the students’ skill of
3. Effective teaching of the novel plot analysis is accomplished with the traditional
method as well as the film showing. Teachers should use lecture method and film
when they already have a prior knowledge regarding a topic. Learners should not
just rely on the input of information. English major students should read literary
pieces in advance as future educators and should also focus on the literature aspect
literature as part of the school’s practice in enhancing the different learning styles
use films in different ways as they help other people obtain knowledge. By using
the combination of film and discussion, the learning acquisition will be done in an
7. The
Higher Education can utilize the findings in designing suitable programs regarding
the effective use of films and lecture method that will feed the intellectual needs of
the students.

literary pieces such as short stories and poems, can also focus on other literary
skills such as characterization and setting and can be done as well using
