——The purpose of this descriptive quantitative action research was to investigate the effect of the use of PowerPoint presentations on the academic performance of Grade 8 students. A total of forty-five (45) Grade 8 students of Dumalogdog National High School, Schools Division of Zamboanga Del Norte were included as respondents of this study. The data were presented and analyzed hence, at the end of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: for the performance level of the Grade 8 students without the use of PowerPoint presentations the results showed that the students’ performance was critically low having a mean score of 15. 23 with a verbal interpretation of Poor respectively; and for the performance level of the Grade 8 students with the use of PowerPoint presentations the results showed that the students’ performance increased to 23.37 mean score with a verbal interpretation of Good respectively. Based on the data collected and its analysis the difference in the academic performance of the students before and after the exposure to PowerPoint presentations is highly significant. Moreover, the significant value (2- tailed) is 0.000 which is lower than the alpha level of 0.05 indicating that the level of performance of the students with and without the use of PowerPoint presentations also has a significant difference. This suggests that the students’ exposure to PowerPoint presentations did help them to improve their performance. Thus, teachers can use PowerPoint presentations to deliver engaging lessons, share learning objectives, present visual aids, and provide interactive content to their students. They can also use PowerPoint for faculty meetings, professional development, and parent-teacher conferences.
