Introduction
In some schools, teachers and children are compelled to move to online learning to
protect the child and teacher due to the COVID-19 epidemic rapidly affecting everyday life,

educational presentations, and instructional materials for students for effective and convenient
learning. In addition, teachers share their presentations during a discussion or send a copy of
their material for students to understand the lesson. Lastly, teachers add color to the visual aids
Color is one of the components of art; it is the result of wavelengths impacting an item
and reflected by our eyes (Bernard, 2016). Furthermore, research has shown that utilizing
specific colors and hues in class helps inspire pupils to study throughout the session (Scranton
Products, 2020). In addition, color has significant effects on memory abilities and the ability to
have chances of environmental stimuli to be received, persevered, and recalled. Color choices
could influence the memory performance of a person (Dzulkifli & Mustafar, 2013).
This study is taken and inspired by the research design of the thesis titled “The Effects of
Color on the Moods of College Students” (Kurt & Osueke, 2014). A questionnaire was utilized
in the study to collect and evaluate the impact of varied colors on the moods of college students.
Moreover, these colors come from the various buildings in the school. Unlike the study of Kurt
and Osueke, the researchers will focus on kindergarten pupils rather than college students;
instead of focusing on the impacts of colors of buildings on moods, this study focuses on the
effects of colored and colorless instructional materials on the academic performance of children.
Furthermore, the researchers will utilize a simple questionnaire and a presentation for the
kindergarten pupils.
The essential objective of this study is to accumulate and analyze the effects of colored
and colorless instructional materials on kindergarten students from Capitol University Basic
Education Department. This study reviews how many students benefit from colored and

colorless visual aids.
The Information Processing Theory of George Miller (1956) serves as the theoretical
foundation for this research. Furthermore, the Information Processing Theory refers to how the
human brain gathers information into memory. The Information Processing Theory process
entails receiving stimuli from the environment and storing the data from the stimulant in our
memories, either short-term or long-term (Bouchrika, 2021). Moreover, George Miller provided
two (2) concepts that are crucial for the Information Processing theory. The first notion is
chunking and the short-term memory space, where a chunk is everything that has to be recalled
(words, faces, numbers, etc.), and five (5) - nine (9) pieces of data are the maximum in the short-
term memory. Furthermore, the second concept compares a computer to how a human learns.
Like a computer, the human mind absorbs information, modifies the substance of the
information, stores and locates it, and responds to it (Miller, 1956 as cited by Hatague and
Nabua, 2019).
The information processing theory is a cognitive theory that defines how the minds of
individuals encode information (Miller, 1956 as quoted by Hatague & Nabua, 2019). In relation
to the study, students may develop their cognitive skills by processing information through their

(Miller, 1956 as cited by Rosnov & Roberts, 2005). Students may increase their attention level
and understanding of a piece of specific information by using colors. In addition, with the help of

colors, students might also improve their ability to retain and recover details. The Information
Processing Theory focuses on how learners receive, recall, and store information in their
working memory. It also lends credence to the researcher's study on how students think and
remember information. Understanding and retaining the offered instructional materials can also
According to the view of George Miller (1956), there are three forms of memory.
Sensory registers, in which one uses their senses to acquire information, short-term memory
refers to recalling data that happens for a limited period, and long-term memory, where
remembered details are indefinite (Hatague & Nabua, 2019). This theory relates to the research's
study as the researchers will analyze how well Kinder 2 students register color. Students would
have to use sensory registers (specifically seeing), and the researchers would analyze how well
they can recall what they saw using colored and non-colored visual aids. One of the most crucial
criteria for efficient information acquisition is to deliver meaningful content that activates one's

Many occasions call for the use of color. It is also widely employed in school and at
work. According to Olurinola & Tayo (2015), color is utilized extensively in instructional
materials. Presentations, films, motion pictures, and video programs are just a few examples.
Both textual educational materials and laptop-assisted training make use of color. Instructors
often use colors to influence the learning ability of the child. Color draws attention to faults
committed by pupils; for example, red markings are for corrections and frequently give students
a sensation of anxiety, which helps improve the student's learning ability in which they know
their mistakes and would not do it again (Olurinola & Tayo, 2015). Instructors also use color to
highlight differences in specific aspects of a topic, such as using different colors of chalk to
Color
According to Color Navigator (2018), our brains create color rather than color existing.
Light, objects, and our eyes all have an impact on how we see color. Moreover, color exists
when there is light. The reflected components because of light are how an item defines its color.
Dzulkifli and Mustafar (2013) state that most advertisements use color as a vital
component to influence people's attention, attitude toward the product, and decision-making
pressure. Colored ads can entice people to read them up to 42% more frequently than non-
messages more appealing to the public (White, 1994 as cited in Dzulkifli & Mustafar, 2013).

Farley et al. (2010), as referenced by Dzulkifli and Mustafar (2013), were among the first
to suggest that colors had a higher impact on attention. This finding came from their study of
attention and cognition, which contrasted the memory performance of color versus non-color
multimedia presentations. According to the data, the colored multimedia presentation garnered
greater attention than the non-colored presentation. Warm colors, namely red, orange, and
yellow, influences concentration better than cold colors, like brown and gray (Greene et al., 2009
as cited in Dzulkifli & Mustafar, 2013). In addition, warm colors are preferred by preschoolers
and elementary students, while secondary students prefer cool colors (Engelbrecht, 2003 as cited
Color in Learning
Color is a versatile educational tool utilized in a variety of ways. It can draw attention,
improve understanding, create a code, label things naturally, and identify them differently
(Olurinola & Tayo, 2015). Moreover, color can help improve the structure and delivery of
information, as well as it takes less time to browse and make information easier to identify and
organize (Chang et al., 2018). Furthermore, there have been observations that color overlays

both symbolic and cognitive abilities. Moreover, color improves the capacity to recall words and
illustrations and alters how we perceive and process information (Myers, 2004 as cited in

al., 2014). Follow-up research with a similar design confirmed these findings, demonstrating that
the colorfulness of the environment had a negative impact on children's success. Children in the
decorated-classroom condition had lower scores than those in the sparse-classroom state.
Moreover, colorful instructional materials and other visual displays are included in kindergarten
and primary classrooms because vibrant colors are crucial for early learning, particularly in
kindergarten and elementary students' attitudes toward learning and performance. (Fisher et al.,
2014). Furthermore, there have been reports that red has a detrimental influence on pupils' test
performance. According to the study's findings, students exposed to the colors green and black

they performed 20% worse than the ones exposed to the colors green and black (Elliot et al.,

on a specific material, which aids in transferring that knowledge to short and long-term memory,
boosting their chances of remembering it. Furthermore, to improve the learners' learning

Colors can affect learners' cognitive abilities, behavior, academic performance, and
intentions. Additionally, the use of colors in instructional materials given by the school plays a
vital role in capturing students' attention, awakening different emotions, influencing students'
memory performances, and motivating learners to learn (Kumi et al., 2013). Furthermore, color
influences students of all ages. It was primarily to influence young learners like kindergarten and
nursery students, but recently various ages have been affected by colors (Mooreco Inc, 2019).
Cognitive abilities are ways students; comprehend, concentrate, recall, analyze, and grasp
teachings. Therefore, colored materials can affect a learners' mental capability to understand the
given instructional materials. Also, colors can manipulate students' emotions towards learning

were instructed to mark down any terms they could recollect. As the calculated results, the
condition with colored words was the most likely to be remembered over the other two. As a
result, it is possible to conclude that color has a significant impact on first-graders memory.
Treatment 1 also helps with memory. The researchers conducted an IQ test first to rule out the
potential of extraneous factors. Furthermore, the student's cognitive ability may influence the

The use of presentation codes, such as visual, verbal, or spatial, can assist in information
processing and retention, and instructional designs can lessen the potential of cognitive overload.

and visual/pictorial, both of which have limited capability (Mayer, 2014 as cited in Chang et al.,

processing diverse wavelengths of light through the eye; the brain then associates colors with
emotions, thoughts, and meanings. A person's memory then stores this information from the
association of colors to their feelings, ideas, and interpretations (Patel, 2020). Moreover, the
brain uses color when it comes to the development of pattern recognition, memory processing,
and when it comes to gathering new information. It also helps individuals find, compare,
interpret, and recall information more quickly. Furthermore, color impacts children's moods,

information. Colors in instructional materials are used widely in educational resources. Colored
and non-colored instructional materials can impact a students' academic performance, learning,
and comprehension. They can effectively influence learners' attitudes and motivation by
capturing their attention and emotions. They also highlight the importance of color in academic
and brain development, especially in kindergarten and elementary students. In contrast, colors
could negatively affect students' academic performance based on the conclusion of experiments

manipulation of the independent variable occurs. Furthermore, this includes the observation and
data gathering of the effects of the dependent variables due to the independent variable.
Moreover, experimental research gathers the data to observe the relationship between the two
variables. Social science, physical science, education, and psychology employ experimental

Color can play an essential role in conveying information, creating specific moods, and
even influencing people's decisions. Furthermore, studies have found that specific colors can
improve sleep habits, boost memory, and enhance academic performance. (Cherry, 2020). Based
on the study's findings in tables 1.1 and 1.2, most of the students from section Jade perform
better with colored instructional materials than with non-colored instructional materials. Farley et

2. Out of 100%, only 57% of students have had a perfect score when using colored
instructional materials.
4. 74% out of 100% of students recall best using non-colored instructional materials.
Color will merely draw the audience's attention away from the picture's main subject
(Ramroop, 2021). Additionally, (Ramroop, 2021). stated that black and white could also reduce
distracting color tints that otherwise; would gently divert the audience's focus away from what is
crucial. There have been reports that red has a detrimental influence on pupils' test performance.
According to the study's findings, students exposed to the colors green and black before
completing the test scored better than the learners exposed to the color red before the test; they
performed 20% worse than the ones exposed to the colors green and black (Elliot et al., 2007 as
In the study of Lee (2016), there are two dissertation essays, one of which is titled "The
dissertation questions whether color media is always preferable to black-and-white (BW) media.

Colorful or black-and-white marketing communications (e.g., advertising, packaging) are
possible. The said essay looks at how the presence or absence of color in media might alter how
consumers perceive information and how they assess and select products. Six tests suggest that
people exposed to black-and-white photographs and videos are more likely to participate in high-
level construals.
In another study, an experiment with 35 participants occurred. The goal is to assess the
participants' identification abilities and memory clarity. According to the findings, many of the
participants have short-term memory when it comes to bright colors, whereas dark colors have a
rate of 1.7% of being forgotten. The argument is that dark-colored images do well in memory.
They will have a vague recall of those rich color photos or possibly a high rate of forgetting them

Table 1.8 illustrates the total number of students in kindergarten. There are 19 students
from the three sections, Jade, Pearl, and Topaz. Among the 19 students, 89.5% of them preferred
colored visuals while 10.5% of students preferred non-colored visuals. In conclusion, the table
shows that the majority of the students preferred more colored visuals than non-colored visuals.
Certain factors may affect why the students prefer colored visuals but scored higher on
non-colored visuals; these factors may include the student being distracted during answering,
they didn't listen to the instruction, etc. Although, the goal of the statement of problem number 3

CONCLUSIONS, SUMMARY, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter contains the results based on the data the researchers have gathered.
Conclusions and recommendations are also gathered for future purposes and preparations.
3.9 Summary
According to the results from chapter 4, the data illustrates that kindergarten two (2)
students from Capitol University Basic Education Department scored higher with uncolored
instructional materials based on their scores but based on their preference, they prefer colored
instructional materials. Touchette (2017) states that non-colored is likely to create an abstract
black & white visuals. Moreover, the student's preferences are solely for illustration and to
present the student's liking, in which 89.5% out of 100% prefer colored visual aides rather than
non-colored. There are numerous factors to students liking colored materials but scoring higher
on non-colored materials, such as being distracted during the quiz, failing to follow directions,
etc.
4.1 Conclusion
Problem 1: How many kindergarten pupils perform well with colored versus
36 | Page
The data collected in this study have provided meaningful insights into using colored and
uncolored instructional materials in learning. Furthermore, according to the observation and the
interpretation of the data analysis, the results show that; two out of three sections scored higher
on non-colored instructional materials. Namely, sections; Topaz and Pearl have scored higher on
kindergarten two students performed better in non-colored instructional materials than in colored
instructional materials.
Problem 2: How many kindergarten pupils recall best colored versus uncolored
instructional materials?
The findings in this study illustrated that 74% out of 100% of kindergarten students from
sections; Jade, Pearl, and Topaz, obtained a perfect score of five over five in non-colored
instructional materials. On the other hand, only 57% out of 100% of kindergarten students have
acquired a perfect score of five over five regarding colored instructional materials. Out of 19
students, none of the respondents scored a one or zero based on the results.
Problem 3: How many kindergarten pupils prefer colored pictures versus non-
Based on problem three (3), most of the students from the Kindergarten 2 sections, Jade,
Pearl, and topaz, preferred colored visual aids compared to non-colored visuals, with 89.5% out
of 100% of students have preferred colored visual aids over non-colored visual aids with 10.5%
out of 100%. However, even if the student chose colored visuals but performed better with non-
colored visuals, particular factors may affect them, such as distractions during the activity or
failure to listen to the instructions. Moreover, this research focuses on the child's academic

performance, and the primary goal of the preference is to illustrate what kindergarten two
students prefer.
4.0 Recommendations:
According to the study’s findings and conclusions reached during the research, the researchers
1. The need to attain the target number of respondents or to have more than 19 people
2. Face to face is more efficient. Giving the instructions, guidelines, and survey physically
is more effective for the students or respondents to comprehend the shown presentation
and answer the survey given. Furthermore, it would cater to and observe the students
smoothly. Moreover, it would have a more effective interaction when evaluating the
3. Adding extra quiz items will test the students' or responders' cognitive learning, which
includes thinking and remembering the various pictures displayed throughout the
presentation.
4. Make sure that the students or respondents are listening attentively during the
presentation. Students who are focused can obtain a good score on the test, which can let
the researchers have a higher chance of getting accurate data from their answers.
5. After the presentation is over, hand out the answers. Respondents or students may start
answering or take note of the answers during the presentation when the answers are
