Enhancing the Performance of Grade 9 Students on Quadratic Functions through Computer-Aided Instruction

| Published: October 10, 2022

Abstract: The department is empowering teachers to integrate Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) across the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of computer-aided instruction in teaching quadratic functions to enhance the performance of Grade 9 students. Furthermore, it utilized the Quasi-experimental design with the Grade 9 students of Narvacan National Central High School for School Year 2017-2018 as the respondents. Additionally, it used mean, standard deviation, and t-test for independent samples for data analysis. The researcher adopted the 30-item pretest and post test for quadratic functions from the K to 12 Grade 9 Learners’ Module. The results revealed that computer-aided instruction in teaching quadratic functions is extremely effective in improving the experimental group\'s performance. Meanwhile, the traditional method of teaching has also a positive gain in enhancing student’s performance. Hence, the use of Computer-aided Instruction is more effective in improving students’ learning in quadratic functions. Therefore, this study recommended that educators adapt the computer-aided instruction in teaching not only in Mathematics but in all subject areas across the curriculum.

IMPROVING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN PHYSICS OF GRADE 12 STEM STUDENTS THROUGH PERFORMANCE-BASED ACTIVITIES

| Published: October 10, 2022

Abstract: Frey, Schmitt, and Allen (2012) posit that a meaningful, real-world task or problem is characteristic of performance-based assessment at some level. Referencing a book-length critique of standardized tests by Archbald and Newman from 1988, they suggest that for an assessment to be considered authentic, it must have value beyond the actual score or grade, indicating that the assessment task itself should be meaningful (Frey, Schmitt, & Allen, 2012). Performance-based learning and assessment represent a set of strategies for the acquisition and application of knowledge, skills, and work habits through meaningful and engaging tasks for students. This study aimed to improve the academic performance in Physics of the Grade 12 Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students through Performance-Based Activities. The following were the tools used during the intervention activities: portfolios, presentations, projects, and research and reporting. The study made use of the descriptive research design wherein the mean gain was used to determine if there is an effect of the Performance-Based Science Activities on the improvement of the grades of students. Results showed that there was an improvement in the performance of students in Physics after employing the activities or intervention. Therefore, through the use of performance-based activities, the grades of Grade 12 STEM students improved and are recommended for utilization in the division.

EFFECT OF STORYLINE ON GRADE III PUPILS’ SKILL IN USING IRREGULAR VERBS

| Published: October 10, 2022

Abstract: Reading is very vital in the delivery of instruction in the educational process. This study sought to improve the understanding of irregular verbs among Grade III pupils through storyline at Pantay Quitiquit Primary School and Baggoc-P.Quitiquit Elementary School for the School Year 2017-2018. The study employed the one-group pretest and posttest design with a 15-item test on understanding irregular verbs. Moreover, it used the mean, standard deviation, and t-test for independent samples to analyze the data gathered. The results of the study showed that the level of understanding of irregular verbs of the pupils was improved from “needs improvement” to “very good”. Furthermore, the computed t-value showed a significant difference between the pupils’ level of understanding before and after their exposure to storyline. The study concluded that the use of storyline is effective in improving the Grade III pupils’ understanding of irregular verbs. It therefore recommended that storyline be used in teaching irregular verbs.

IMPROVING THE CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF GRADE V PUPILS ON MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM THROUGH STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIAL

| Published: October 10, 2022

Abstract: One of the most least mastered competencies in Grade V is the concept on male reproductive system. The purpose of this research is to improve the conceptual understanding on male reproductive system using Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) among Grade V pupils for the school year 2017-2018. It involves 26 boys and 26 girls Grade V pupils of Sinait West Central School. The research used a quasi-experimental design. The statistical tools used to analyze the data gathered were mean, standard deviation and t-test for independent samples. Results of the study found out that Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) is effective in improving the conceptual understanding in male reproductive system. Moreover, the conceptual understanding of respondents improved from poor to very good. Furthermore, the mastery level of the respondents showed a significant improvement after the exposure to the SIM. The research indicated that teachers should use Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) in teaching science concepts proving its significant effect. Hence Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) is recommended to be used as a tool in teaching other concepts in Science and in other learning areas.

INSTRUCTIONAL MODULE IN STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY OF GRADE 11 TVL STUDENTS OF DILI NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

| Published: October 10, 2022

Abstract: Statistics and Probability is perceived as one of the most difficult subject among students. But nevertheless, teachers should accept the challenge to ensure that learning competencies along this content area should be met and mastered. It is in this connection that this descriptive research study came into being with a purpose to develop an instructional module to cater the learning areas of students in Statistics and Probability. The instrument used to gather the data was validated researcher-made achievement test which was administered to 90 regular Grade 11 students of Dili National High School. Mean was used as a tool for analysis. It concluded among others that student performed at satisfactory level along all the content areas tested, thus a validated instructional module was developed to address the said area of concern.
