ENHANCING STUDENTS’ LEAST LEARNED COMPETENCIES IN BASIC CALCULUS THROUGH VODCAST

In order to help educators and decision-makers as we continue to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, the Department of Education and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization have created a number of distance learning strategies and resources. One method is what we refer to as modular learning, specifically vodcast. Vodcast is a versatile teaching tool that can be incorporated into different lessons to aid and direct students and give them a greater understanding of what they must learn. The objective of this research was to produce a vodcast that would act as a resource for teaching basic calculus. As statistical tools, the mean and standard deviation were used. The research's findings showed that the least-learnable skills were "solve problems involving areas of plane regions," "illustrate the limit of a function using a table of values and the function's graph," "compute the limits of exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions using a table of values and the functions' graphs," "illustrate the tangent line to the graph of a function at a given point," and "compute the definite integral of a function using the substitution rule”. The developed vodcast was uploaded to a site and can be accessed at https://sites.google.com/wvsu.edu.ph/basic-calculus/home. According to the study's conclusions, vodcast has succeeded in addressing the needs of 21stcentury students by being flexible, innovative, entertaining, and useful. This will make it simpler for students to gain knowledge through vodcast and be ready for class. Thus, vodcast is recommended for use by teachers as vodcasts can help and guide students and give them a better knowledge of what they must learn in Basic Calculus.
