Project INSPIRE (intensifying Pupils Performance through Instruction and Result of Examination) in Ameliorating Mathematics Performance of Grade VI Pupils of Buhay na Tubig Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study determined the impact of Project INSPIRE (Intensifying Pupils Performance Through Instruction and Result of Examination) in Ameliorating Mathematics Performance of Grade VI Pupils of Buhay na Tubig Elementary School. The main objective of this study was to intensify pupils' performance in Mathematics through instruction and results of the examination.

METHODS

The researchers made use of the quasi-experimental method of research. The data were gathered through the use of the result of examinations and interviews. The data gathered from the respondents were treated statistically using percentage, mean, standard deviation and ranking the respondents of this study are the teachers and pupils of Buhay na Tubig Elementary School. This study was undertaken to assess the level of Mathematics Performance of Grade VI Pupils of Buhay na Tubig Elementary School

RESULTS

The study revealed that the level of Mathematics Performance of Grade VI Pupils of Buhay na Tubig Elementary School is low. It was also gathered that there were least mastered skills in the competencies that need to be strengthened. These are finding the LCD, solving word problems using the AGONZA method and Solving Dissimilar fractions involving 4 fundamental operations. The different motivational strategies were based on the academic level of grade VI pupils. The topics that were identified as weaknesses were the bases in utilizing different motivational strategies.

The overall weighted mean of Pupils' Performance in Mathematics is 79.14. Based on the findings of the study, a proposed motivational strategy was crafted and should be adopted by the school for a better Performance in Mathematics.

DISCUSSIONS

In light of the findings, the researcher highly recommends that the different motivational strategies be adopted and used for the improvement of the pupils' Mathematics performance.

The gaps experienced by the school as assessed by the Continuous Improvement Team (CI) are the least mastered skills in Mathematics 6 competencies. These are finding the LCD, solving word problems using AGONZA method and Solving Dissimilar fractions involving four fundamental operations should be strengthened and need to be addressed for a better and more enhanced Action Plan and motivational strategies use in Mathematics 6 at Buhay na Tubi Elementary School.
