THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPROMPTU SPEECH ON CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION OF GRADE 12 HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES AT IMMACULADA CONCEPCION COLLEGE

Abstract

Impromptu speech involves expressing opinions in a meeting or classroom setting without prior preparation. This study examines the effectiveness of impromptu speech in enhancing classroom participation, boosting students' confidence, and improving their willingness to communicate. Developing strong impromptu speaking skills is essential for the academic, professional, and personal growth of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students at Immaculada Concepcion College. The researchers will utilize a quantitative research approach to examine the impact of one variable on another. This study employs a descriptive research design, using a structured quantitative questionnaire to gather data. Respondents will share their experiences and provide detailed answers to survey questions, allowing for systematic analysis and data interpretation. The respondents for this study consist of Grade 12 HUMSS students, totaling 640, organized into 16 sections, as presented in Table 1. The average weighted mean in Table 2 is 3.41, indicating a "Strongly Agree" consensus among respondents. Similarly, another set of data in Table 2 shows an average weighted mean of 3.42, also reflecting a "Strongly Agree" consensus among 246 respondents. The findings were summarized based on the results presented in Chapter 4. The study was conducted using a descriptive survey method, with the null hypothesis being tested accordingly. This study examines the effectiveness of impromptu speech in enhancing classroom participation among Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students. Given the crucial stage of senior high school, the research explores how impromptu speaking activities impact student engagement in class discussions. A descriptive research design was employed, utilizing simple random sampling to gather data from 246 students across multiple HUMSS sections. All respondents from HUMSS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 actively participated in the study. The findings aim to provide valuable insights into the role of impromptu speech in fostering a more interactive and participatory learning environment.
