Project TRIM Implementation to Enhance Performance of Grade Five Students in MAthematics

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The grade 5 students of Buenavista -Cigaras Elementary School find mathematical problems difficult.

METHODS

The research was conducted in Buenavista -Cigaras Elementary School. The respondents of the study were the Grade 5 students in Mathematics, School Year 2018 -2019.The research study utilized descriptive method to see if there is an effect on the utilization of Project TRIM in increasing performance of students Mathematics.A fifty (50) item multiple type of test to make a profile of their students. After the pre-test, they utilized the use of Project TRIM to determine its effectiveness. After the intervention, a parallel post-test was given to their students.

The data were collected and compiled for analytical interpretation.

RESULTS

This study revealed the following findings:The mean level of the pre-test and post test results of Grade 5 students in Mathematics was 20.85 and 40.25 respectively.The computed r -value was 0.7842. The p -value was less than at 0.05 level of significance, which interpreted as Significant.The overall mean and standard deviation of 4.64 and 0.49 revealed the status of the implementation of Project TRIM as perceived by Grade 5 students in Mathematics was Strongly Agree.The computed t -value was 8.76 The p -value was less than at 0.05 level of significance, which interpreted as Significant.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the findings, the following conclusions are made:After the implementation of Project TRIM, the post-test of Grade 5 students in Mathematics increased compared to the pre-test.There was a strong positive correlation between the pre -test and post-test results of Grade 5 students in Mathematics.The Grade 5 students strongly agreed that the implementation of Project TRIM increased their performance in Mathematics.
