The Impact of Project SMART (Strategic Math Activity through Reinforcement Technique)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Turbina Elementary School got low results in terms of the periodical test in ENSCIMA. From SY 2014-2017, the average MPS of Grade III in Periodical Test in Math is 39.65 %, 40.20% in English and 46.45% in Science. According to the data gathered, Math has the lowest MPS in Periodical test for three consecutive years. With an average MPS of 39.65%, the CI team will focus on the Grade three pupils for this project.

METHODS

Turbina Elementary School is one of the schools in the Division of Calamba City who is actively engaged in giving quality education to all the learners. The CIP team will implement this project SMART (Strategic Math Activity through Reinforcement Technique) with the help of the process owner in order to increase the MPS in Mathematics of at least 5% in Periodical Test this SY 2017-2018 specifically in grade III. Project SMART provides innovations and some teaching techniques to improve the skills of Grade III pupils in four fundamental operations.

RESULTS

The grade III pupils who are the focus of Project SMART perceived an improvement in their skill in four fundamental operations. Self-discipline and perseverance of the pupils have been seen in the process of the said project. The comparative results of the Pre-Test and Post-Test in Grade three pupils was 13 pupils out of 53 pupils improved their skills in the Four Fundamental Operation.

DISCUSSIONS

The result shows the need to focus more in introducing more innovations to help pupils who need improvement in the four fundamental operations. Project SMART significantly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the processing of the Strategic Math Activity through Reinforcement Technique.
