Electronic Instructional Material in Teaching Literature and Reading Proficiency of Tboli Pupils

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Reading is one of the most significant factors in the learning process of every pupil. In elementary level, pupils struggle in reading proficiency and teachers continue to improve their reading strategies and materials to conquer these issues. This study "Electronic Instructional Material in Teaching Literature and Reading Proficiency of Tboli Pupils" aimed to assess the effect of the material in the pretest and post-test of Grade Five pupils in Lambuling Elementary School.

METHODS

The researcher used Total Enumeration Technique to achieve the result of the study. All the Grade Five pupils were selected which consisted of two sections; the Newton and Einstein which had thirty five (35) pupils each with the total of seventy (70) pupils.

RESULTS

The Reading Proficiency of the Grade Five pupils in terms of Vocabulary and Reading Proficiency in the pretest, the Control Group generally achieved a "Did Not Meet Expectations" level. This means that the pupils in this level struggles in their reading proficiency. In the post-test, the group obtained "Fairly Satisfactorily" level. It shows that the group improved their understanding after the lesson had been taught to them. Similarly, the experimental group obtained "Did Not Meet Expectations" level in the pretest while in the post-test; the group achieved a "Satisfactory" level. This means that the pupils improved their level of reading proficiency. The overall mean gain scores in Reading Proficiency of the Experimental group and control group showed that there was an improvement between the two groups after the intervention had been employed.

DISCUSSIONS

It is concluded that the Electronic Instructional Material is effective and appropriate in teaching Literature to the pupils. More so, the significant difference between the reading proficiency of the control group and experimental group means that the Electronic Instructional Material is better than traditional way of teaching in improving the reading proficiency of the pupils. The findings of the study should be considered as bases to strengthen the use of Electronic Instructional Material in teaching literature not only for Tboli pupils. Moreover, further study may be undertaken on the effectiveness of the Electronic Instructional Material in Teaching Literature.
