The Main Reason Why Grade Ten Students Of Noveleta National High School Are Not Fond Of Reading Literary Pieces For The School Year 2017-2018

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The area of focus of this project is to assess the main reason why our students are not fond of reading. Reading is one of the macro skills that we have to develop with our students. But it will be difficult to us teachers if the students themselves are not into it. By identifying the causes, we might not abolish it right away but we know as we continue on searching for solutions, we can reduce the number of students who are not into it. We will find out why many students are not into reading anymore. The reality is they will just scan their books or a reading material to look on what they need. We think that finding out the causes will help us to determine the best strategies that we may incorporate in the way we teach especially literature. The researchers planned to conduct this basic research in order to identify the main reason why students are not into reading. It is hoped that after this study it will be beneficial not only for the teachers as well as the students. This will help the teachers to identify as well what intervention they can use.

The participants of this study are 50% of the teacher’s population of Noveleta National High School for the School Year 2017-2018. The researchers used written survey questionnaires adopted and developed by the researchers for the purpose of the study. The researcher prepared and reconstructed the questionnaires which will be the main tool in getting the data from the respondents. The researchers used frequency count and percentage in analyzing the demographic profile of the respondents.
