Abstract:
This study aimed to determine the effect of an alternative drill-practice mode –rnthe Assistive Instructional Material (AIM) – in improving the basic multiplication skills ofrnGrade 6 pupils at Sta. Maria Elementary School.rnEmploying a pretest-posttest control group design, this study identified two intactrnheterogeneous classes as the control (use of paper-pencil drill mode) and thernexperimental (use of AIM) groups. A 10-minute drill was given using the specifiedrnstrategies before each class. A 20-item test, constructed by the researcher and validatedrnby 4 experts from the Division of Laoag City, was administered before and after thernrninterventions. Frequency, percentages, mean, standard deviation, independent sample t-rntest, and paired sample t-test were utilized to analyze the data gathered.rnrnFindings showed that the use of paper-and-pencil mode and AIM improve thernskills of pupils on basic multiplication. Although the mean scores of pupils on AIM is arnlittle higher than on paper-and-pencil mode, statistically, there is no strong evidence tornconclude that AIM improve pupils’ performance better than the paper-and-pencil mode.rnBased from the results, this research showed that constant practice andrndeliberate teaching of skills using different modes of practice contribute to an improvedrnpupils’ learning and mastery of facts and information.
