Instructional Strategies and its Implication to Pupils Engagement

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In Cawongan Elementary School in Padre Garcia, the researcher has observed that grade six pupils are continuously displaying difficulties in improving their performance in almost all their subjects even if teachers are employing different strategies in their teaching. It is now that the researcher has decided to embark in this type of study to address the possible needs of students. The researcher is hopeful that this study shall acquaint teachers of the level of pupil engagement in the common instructional designs or strategies for learning that they are employing.

METHODS

The researcher used the survey questionnaire to obtain the necessary information for this study. The survey questionnaires were divided into two parts-the part for the pupils to answer and the part for teachers to answer. The researcher used the descriptive research design merely to describe the current level of pupil engagement and the different instructional strategies utilized by teachers to encourage pupil engagement.

RESULTS

Results simply emphasize the need of the pupils to develop their engagement to school to have a higher interest in their schooling. There are so many factors that might affect their low engagement to school, however, their social skills are not a factor that affects their low engagement. They have a good relationship with peers which is very important and can also attest that bullying is not rampant at school. One of the factors that may affect their low interest at school is the teacher factor. If teachers are creative in creating learning activities to engage the pupils, the pupils will look forward to school. Teachers who can provide motherly care and love to pupils are more likely to engage pupils in learning.
