Improving Classroom Activities of Grade Five Pupils through Project "Power" at San Pioquinto ES

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Classroom participation is used as one of those activities that are employed by the teacher to cultivate the students' background knowledge and to assess how well students learn during the teaching-learning process. Students can show their progress in learning a certain task only if they are actively involved in the process. Students' participation is also significant for the teacher to assess the made of his/ her lesson delivery and the effectiveness of his/her teaching methodologies, assessment techniques, and the learning activities.

METHODS

The study will employ the descriptive design. Defined descriptive design as the method of research that simply looks with intense accuracy at the phenomena of the moment and then describes precisely what the research sees. The study will focus on the extent of pupils' involvement in classroom activities as well as the factors that influence their performance. The study will determine further the activities to be done to address the problem of the pupils. This will use the descriptive design in gathering the needed data.

RESULTS

In light of the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn. The pupils' involvement in classroom activities is to the least extent. The majority of the pupils agree that home factor, teacher factor, student factor, and physical factor are the variables that influence their performance on classroom activities. Most of the pupils consider boredom, lack of courage, eating disorders, a teacher's tardiness, fears in public speaking and a teacher's personality as the problems met by them in participating in the classroom activities. There is no significant relationship between the pupils' involvement in classroom activities and the factors affecting their performance in participating. The proposed classroom activities when implemented may strengthen the class participation to enhance the performance of the pupils.

DISCUSSIONS

Given the preceding conclusions, the proposed activities should be tried because of helping out the pupils enhance their participation in classroom activities. A teacher should seek innovations in making learning materials and teaching methods. Put entertainment to a discussion as long as it is possible.
