Images and the Skills in Sequencing Events of Grade Three -A Pupils of Cabarroguis Central School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Cabarroguis Central School-Integrated SPED Center Grade 3 Learners who have not performed well in some skills taught in English subject in reading comprehension particularly sequencing events based on paragraph and story read on the written tests and result of the first LAPG conducted is all the basis of this research. Only 45.15% mastery level was achieved by grade 3 pupils for tests administered in sequencing skill, likewise in the 2015 LAPG result. Teachers find difficulty in preparing varied teachers' support materials for the instruction due to the diversity of learners and different family backgrounds. Thus, the interactive teacher support material such as the use of PowerPoint presentations and interactive exercises using gadgets and materials were conceptualized where the researcher believed that using the intervention entitled "IMAGE", teaching-learning process in the classroom was improved. Pupils were motivated through active interaction with the teacher.

METHODS

The researcher used the universal technique in the form of taking all the grade 3 pupils as respondents of the study with a total of 35 pupil respondents. Interactive presentations using gadgets and sets of collaborative exercises were provided and executed indaily lessons in sequencing events. Pre-test and Post-test were conducted between the conduct of the IMAGES intervention. Analysis of the data gathered followed.

RESULTS

Based on the results and findings of this study, before the intervention was given, pupils performed poorly in the skills in sequencing events while the pupils' skills improved significantly from low to high when IMAGES was applied. There was a significant difference in the scores of the respondents before and after the implementation of IMAGES. The effect of IMAGES instruction on the ability of the respondents in skills in sequencing events was large. Thus, IMAGES contributed a significantly large effect on the skills in sequencing events.

DISCUSSIONS

Conducting action research is a great tool to improve teachers' competence in teaching instruction. It is not easy at first to start the conduct of this research due to numerous concerns as an educator but while on the process, it gained confidence and equipped with enough knowledge and skills to keep abreast with the new technologies in the teaching for the realization of Department of Education goals.
