Project (COM-TEA) Creation of Modular-Typed Enhancement Activity in English III for Grammatical Efficiency

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The study aimed to improve the mastery of Grade III pupils in identifying the noun, verb, and adjective in a group of words as well as in sentences. Project (COM-TEA) Creation of Modular-Typed Enhancement Activity provides exercises and enhancement activities to master the skill on the three basic grammar aspects. The study was conducted as a result of pretest administered to Grade III-Scorpio with which thirty-one (31) pupils or 100% failed to reach 75% recognition of noun, verb, and adjective in a group of words and in a sentence.

METHODS

A pretest/posttest technique was used to determine the pupils' progress in terms of the focused topic. The researcher made modular-type enhancement activities for noun, verb, and adjective. The statistical treatments used were mean average, standard deviation, and percentage to interpret the data gathered.

RESULTS

Using Project COM-TEA, there is a19%, 26%, and 31% increased of MPS in classifying a focused topic in a group of words. On the other hand, there is a 29%, 30%, and 48% increase in classifying a focused topic in a sentence. The findings showed that after the modular-type enhancement activity, there is an increased of MPS in classifying noun, adjective, and verb in sentence contrary to the pretest result.It is evident that the findings of the researcher conform with (Malik, 2012) modular teaching approach compelled positive outcome on learning of users compared to the traditional approach.

DISCUSSIONS

Though the study showed a positive result, loopholes in terms of the word familiarity or vocabulary depth of respondents used in the activities of modules are to consider. Also, respondents are time restricted causing pressure in responding to exercises. However, the researcher concluded the following (1) Project COM-TEA is good for learners with skills in reading. (2) Modular-typed enhancement activity teaches pupils to work independently because of examples and a brief explanation. (4) Create modular-typed enhancement activity and workbooks for other learning areas.
