LOMI (Localized Material and Intervention): An Intervention for Home-Schooling Students

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

At present, Southville IV National High School Grade 7-Job, there are 15 home-schooling students who need help to improve their academic performance. It was observed by the researcher that most home-schooling students have difficulty in answering the module in English language and some of them translate it in the vernacular which affected their ability to answer all the exercises. Juan A. Moralla, (2001), a Filipino author, cited that module is a self-contained and independent unit of instruction.

METHODS

The researcher used descriptive research. Using the purposive sampling, one section with the highest number of home-schooling was the respondent of this study. The study will use pre-test and post-test as the basis of the students' performance on the LoMI (Localized Material and Intervention). Also, the researcher will conduct FGD (Focus Group Discussion) to determine the problems encountered in using LoMI.

RESULTS

The results show an increase of 9.33% from the mean computed during the third grading to the fourth grading period after the pre-test and post-test. The mean increased by 9.33 coming from 17.20 computed on the 3rd grading period and 26.53 when the 4th grading period was finished. Based on the results, LoMI helped the home-schooling students improve their academic performance in Araling Panlipunan

DISCUSSIONS

The home-schooling can work in their flexible time, according to Lardizabal et al, (2004), students can find the following first. They work at their own pace given the fact that they can read and answer the intervention in a more amiable time, that is why it is very important for the teacher to give interventions that the learner could capably answer.
