Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Aligned to Department of Education mission to continuously improve the learners' potentials, teachers develop necessary innovations to nurture every learner. Many teaching strategies, technologies and methods have been used, yet some learners did not show mastery of the learning competencies. With CSAI communicative Situation Activity), we made another step to make the learning a rewarding experience. In this research, we are definitely given reasons for the Grade VI learners to improve their science vocabulary not only with the heart but most importantly with their minds and apply them later on with their souls.

METHODS

Sampling method was used. Using the communicative approach, questionnaires were distributed, and a survey was done. Twenty respondents of different gender and learning levels were tested to use the activity in terms of operability, usability, reality, effectiveness and acceptability. Data were collected, analyzed, validated, and interpreted.

RESULTS

Furthermore, male and female respondents did not significantly differ in their perceptions of the characteristics of the activity. While on the other hand, the perceptions of the respondents from different learning bracket in terms of operability, reliability, acceptability and did not significantly differ. Contrary, their perceptions regarding the usability and effectively significantly differ.

The results prove that the need for intensive use of the CSA (Communicative Situation Activity) can address the technical problem in the teaching-learning process in terms of improving Science vocabulary. As trend of modernization in teaching education can adapt and embrace CSA for the millennial learners of Cavite.
