Rationale of the Study

Music or background music nowadays can be easily access through

different mediums, specially for large number of students who are mostly expose

to this kind of lifestyle. This study focused, if music affects the mental ability,

comprehension skills and concentration of the students from Grade 12

Humanities of Social Sciences strand. Research instrument were used and

utilized by employing the quasi research. The respondent of this study are

students from strand HUMSS 12-B and HUMSS 12-D.

Research Design

Quasi Experimental was used by the researchers to identify the difference

between the two groups of students to explain the effects of the experiment that

will be used. Specifically, static group comparison design will be used. It

attempts to compare the two groups chosen, one of which receives the

treatment and the other does not. It allows the researchers to have more control

to make assumptions and implications about the findings. This research design

will be used to identify the main difference between the effects of using

background music and not using it to the concentration of the students.

Statement of the Problem

Music plays a vital role on everyone’s life especially to students however,

only few uses and realizes its effect when it comes to studying. Music can

change moods get people motivated and helps in concentration. The researchers

propose to examine the effectiveness of music to students and look to the

probability of implementation of these strategies.

Finding

The salient findings of the study are the following:

1. The result of pre-test of control and experimental group. The average

score of the control group is 14.84 while the average score of the experimental

group is 14.61. The T-test score computed is 0.23 which is less than the critical

value 2.03, the null hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, there is no significant

difference in the pre-test scores of the control group and experimental group in

the test.

2. While the result of posttest of control and experimental group. The

average score of the control group is 22.24 while the average score of the

experimental group is 22.33. The T-test score computed is -0.07 which is greater

than the critical value -2.01. The null hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, there is

no significant difference in the posttest scores of the control group and

experimental group in the test.

3. Comparing the results of pre-test and posttest of control group. The

average score of the control group’s pre-test is 14.84 while the average score of

the experimental group’s posttest is 22.32. The T-test score computed is -9.64

which less than the critical value -2.01. The null hypothesis is rejected and do

not reject the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, there is a significant difference

between the score in pre-test and posttest of control group.

4. Comparing the result of pre-test and posttest of experimental group. The

average score of the experimental group’s pre-test is 14.61 while the average

score of the experimental group’s posttest is 22.43. The T-test score computed is

-9.64 which less than the critical value 2.01. The null hypothesis is rejected and

do not reject the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, there is a significant

difference between the score in pre-test and posttest of experimental group.
