FILS (Falling in Love in Science)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Based on the National Achievement Test (NAT) results in Science Grade Six for the last three (3) years SY (2013-2015) namely 58.88%, 49.66% and 60.48% from 2013 -2015 respectively, the performance of the learners on the said area is fluctuating. Among the academic subjects, Science is ranked lowest at 56.34% MPS and is still below the national standard level.

METHODS

5E's approach was used on 48 out of 190 grade six pupils, coupled with the Duo observation by the School Head and Master Teacher. The approach aimed to increase the identified learners' performance by 3% from 47% to 50% in the third grading for the school year 2016-2017.

RESULTS

Based on the thorough implementation of the program using the 5E's approach and with the cooperation of the process owner and the customers, the result of the third periodic test shows an increase of 8.66% which is higher than the 3% expected target.

DISCUSSIONS

The CIP Project FILS shows an increase of 8.66% in the third periodic test and is recommended to be rolled out to another grade level in order to strongly establish its effectiveness in improving pupils' performance.
