| Abstract | This study investigated the differences in science performance of pupils with visual impairment before and after utilizing musical activities. A single-subject design, particularly ABAB Design, was used in the research, while the Wilcoxon Signed Rank was used for the statistical analysis. The study was conducted in July 2013 and administered to pupils from a school for the blind located in Cubao, Quezon City. The study was participated in by six pupils whose visual impairment was due to retinopathy of prematurity. The thematic approach and subservient style in teaching music were utilized. Musical activities like listening, moving to rhythm, singing, using musical instruments, and improvising were used. Similarly, the science lessons focused on life science, particularly plants as living things, parts of plants, and different kinds of plants. The lesson plans used the format of instructional planning recommended by Raiser and Dick(1996). Parents were interviewed to document the difficulties of their blind children in learning Science in terms of scientific attitudes and process skills. The results from observation, daily assessment, and unit assessment revealed that there was a significant difference in the science performance of pupils with visual impairment before and after utilizing musical activities. |
