Improving the Performance of Selected Students in Science Using the CAVS (Class-Assisted filling Vacuity of Students) Program

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In an academic year, there is one quarter when teachers handle different ancillary works which affect the learners' performance. It is one of the common problem that happens every academic year. To address this problem, the researcher came up with a program that maximizes student learning in Science despite of ancillary assigned to them.

METHODS

This study used the descriptive-experimental method for the respondents which were chosen purposively. Using the designed program, the learners were subjected to different learning sessions with their learning companion. At the end of the sessions, learners and teachers responded to a questionnaire needed for the evaluation of the data. The data collected were analyzed through appropriate statistical treatments.

RESULTS

From the gathered data, the following findings were identified: 1) The respondents gathered mean grade of 83.00 in their performance before the CAVS Program Implementation while gathering a mean grade of 87.65 after the implementation of CAVS Program; 2) Based on the result of statistical treatment, there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the students; 3) The average weighted mean of 3.91 indicated that the respondents give a "Strongly Agree" response that the CAVS Program is effective.

DISCUSSIONS

The result of this study revealed that CAVS Program resulted to a good learning method wherein learners not only improved their academic performance but also developed their social interactions with their companion.
