Group Activities as Used in Teaching Parts of the Brain among Grade Six Pupils in Escribano Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The present study was conceived because the researcher recognizes the importance of using group activity. As a grade six teacher, she found that group activity is one of the best teaching strategies in teaching science particularly the parts of the brain.

METHODS

The respondents of the study were 35 grade 6 pupils of Escribano Elementary School. They composed one section; no sampling was used in the study. To be able to gather the data needed in the study, a test will be administered by the researcher after the lesson had been finished. The results were statistically treated.

RESULTS

Group work is important because it gives students the opportunity to learn from each other, teaches them communication skills and helps them develop interpersonal relationship skills.

DISCUSSIONS

Group activity used in the lesson may be applied to enhance teaching parts of the brain and other lessons in Science.
