Improving the Performance of Grade 8 in Science through the Formative Assessment Kit and Feedback Sheets

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of take home formative tests and feedback sheets on the performance level in Science of Grade 8 students. The study specifically determined the mean score, and the significant difference between the performance level before and after the introduction of the intervention.

METHODS

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of take home formative tests and feedback sheets on the performance level in Science of Grade 8 students. The study specifically determined the mean score, and the significant difference between the performance level before and after the introduction of the intervention.

RESULTS

Results revealed that there is a significant difference between the performance level in the pre and post-test of Grade 8-Ponce.

DISCUSSIONS

Although the performance level obtained in the course of the study is quite far from the ideal target of seventy-five percent, it can be inferred that the formative test kit and feedback sheets improved the students' performance level in Science. The failure to achieve the ideal target may be attributed to class interruptions, schedule of the conduct of intervention, and irregularities of some students in their class.
