Project IISA'S Effectiveness in Increasing the Proportion of Students who are Satisfied in the way Senior High School Teachers Schedule and Give Performance Task

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Performance standards that are tested during performance tasks are indicated in the curriculum guide and considered as evidence of mastery. However, most performance tasks were given during the exam week in almost all of the subjects which cause students to exert more time and effort beyond school hours affecting their health and socialization. Also, because of the overlapping of projects and submissions, the quality of output also suffers since students do not have time to plan appropriately. Thus, this project aims to schedule and encourage teachers to do the integration to lessen students' preparation time without sacrificing mastery of competencies.

METHODS

The project IISA was created as an answer from an existing problem elicited from the respondents. Based on the Focused Group Discussion and Survey,141 out of 222 or 64% of Grade 11 -Senior High School Students of San Pablo City Science High School were dissatisfied in the number of performance tasks given, time allotment and interval and schedule of submission during the first semester of the academic year 2017 -2018. The project IISA focuses on finding the Root Cause of the problem, developing a Deployment Flow Chart, Implementation Phase and Evaluation of the Students' Satisfaction in relation to the Project IISA objectives and goals.
