This study investigated the effects of video clips enrichment on the academic performance of Grade 8 learners in Earth and Space Science. This was conducted in MSU-ILS, MSU Campus, Marawi City, during the school year 2018-2019. The study employed the quasi-experimental non-equivalence pretest-posttest research design to test the effects of the video clips enrichment on the academic performance of Grade Eight learners. The academic performance of the two groups was assessed using the research-made 30-item multiple-choice test which has a reliability coefficient of 0.74, indicating that it was reliable and dependable to assess the academic performance of the learners. The data were treated with mean, standard deviation, and ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) at 0.05 level of significance. Moreover, the experiences of the learners in learning Earth and Space Science with video clips enrichment using their entries from the journal notebook and scheduled interview was administered after the conduct of the lesson and the post test. Results revealed that the learners taught with video clips enrichment in Earth and Space Science had a “very satisfactory” academic performance. This means that the learners at this level have developed the basic knowledge, skills and main understandings and can transfer them separately through genuine performance tasks. There is also a significant difference between the mean gain scores of the academic performance of Grade 8 learners taught with video clips enrichment and taught with K to 12 learning modules after the intervention, hence, the experimental group achieved significant growth in conceptual understanding which could be attributed to the use of video clips. The experimental group have gained positive experiences as it made them excited, attentive, and participative in class which could have resulted to their better academic performance in the subject. Therefore, the use of video clips in science lessons could enhance the academic performance of the learners.
