CHAPTER 1

PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

I. Introduction

This study will tell and inform the students and teachers about the
multimedia information that affects the student’s academic performance. It will
also help to improve the technical skills of a student using the technologies
which usually use nowadays to gather some data and ideas easily.

This research is about how multimedia information develops the

technical skills of an ABM student in San Jose Litex Senior High School.

The usage of multimedia and the information that can get from it is a
very useful way to enhance the skills of an ABM student especially his/her
digital task. Using the computer or other devices, the rationality of ideas will
boost the student’s abilities needed to accomplish some computer-related
complexities as well as other performance which is related to technology.

The purpose of this research is to know the different benefits of

multimedia information in enhancing and developing the technical skills of an
ABM student particularly the first timer in terms of accounting.

II. Background of the study

Multimedia is the platform where a material is combined with text,

graphs, audio and simulation which defined Turkish Language Society (TLS).
Also multimedia is the multiple introduction of a material with picture or text
based by Mayer (2001). In another explanation, multimedia sources created
by using audio, video, visual, graph, text, animation to explain a subject is
expressed as the use of different data types to explain an idea, an event or a
subject (Alkan et al., 2001).
 However, it is generally used to refer to computer-based multimedia
today. In the multimedia definition of Brook (1997), on the other hand, the use
of platforms like movies, slides, music and light for purposes such as
education or advertisement are emphasized.

In summary, it could be stated that multimedia is composed of

computer platforms where written media is presented with audial, visual and
animation media, and high definition and graphs are set (Maddux et al.,
2001).
