Implementation of Project ImpLOAR in Grade 10 students in Bagbag National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The objective of Project ImpLOAR is to make progress on Learners Outcome Assessment (LOA) results through assessment, planning, and evaluation. The said project is implemented by giving two (2) questions per day before the start of the lesson. Before the weekends, the teacher gives another test which is composed of 10 items that are parallel to the daily test. Through weekly assessments, teachers were able to determine the progress that students have made over time and to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching strategy used in the lesson. The aimed of this study is to distinguish the effectiveness of Project ImpLOAR.

METHODS

This study employed the quasi-experimental design. The instrument was used in the pretest and posttest was a teacher-made test and was validated by the Department Head. Both control and experimental groups were given a pretest. At the end of the implementation, both groups were given the posttest to find out if there is a significant difference in the science performance of the learners in the control and the experimental groups.

RESULTS

The result of the pretest of the control group which has a mean of 18.85 while the experimental group got a mean score of 18.95. The mean difference of the pretest results was 0.10. The computation revealed that the t-computed value of -0.07 was lower than the t-tabular value of 2.093 at 0.05 level of significance with 19 df. It means that there is no significant difference between the pretest results of the two groups. The control group got a mean score of 37.05 while the experimental group got a mean of 54.25. The mean difference in the posttest results was 17.20. The result showed that the t-computed value of 8.44 was greater than the t-tabular value of 2.093 at 0.05 level of significance with 19 df. So, there was a significant difference between the posttest results of the two groups. It means that the experimental group has higher test results in science after being exposed to Project ImpLOAR.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the findings, the following are the conclusions.

1. There is no significant difference on the pretest results of control and experimental group.

2. There is a significant difference on the posttest results of control and experimental group.

3. There is an improvement in the results of the control and experimental group but there is a significant difference noted on the experimental group.
