Sanay -Husay Intervention Programs and its Effect to Pupils Academic Performance

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Department of Education Vision and Mission provides direction towards a desired outcome of everything that is happening in the school. In order to attain this, we need to change, build, and grow. We need to create projects that would cater the individual needs for a better result. Based on the latest NAT result in Filipino, Calamba City got an MPS of 62% which is still far to the 80% proficiency level. Though Calamba City ranked 4 in CALABARZON, we need to improve. In monitoring the schools, it was found out that Kay-Anlog Elementary School has the lowest over-all NAT MPS of 38.42% which is attributed to teachers' lack of mastery in the content, knowledge and its application within and across the learning area. With this problem, the pupils' performance in NAT is greatly affected specifically the Filipino subject having reached an MPS of 52.65 only.

METHODS

In relation to this, EPS-in Filipino conducted a leadership implementation project entitled SANAY-HUSAY in Filipino at Kay-Anlog Elementary School. This project will benefit 77 pupils in Kay-Anlog ES. It is believed that through this project, the performance of these pupils will increase from 52.65 to 75% mastery level. Six teachers handling Filipino subject is expected to have mastery in formulating HOTS questions as manifested in the output they will produce, as well as to the learners who could think critically in oral and written discussions.

RESULTS

Teachers are well organized and oriented on their task and function on the project. Owner has enough time to prepare materials and to reflect on the process. Teachers has a better performance in teaching the subject as a result of the technical assistance given by the school head.
