The Use of one to one Tutorial in increasing the Level of Performance of Grade 8 Maagap Students in Mathematics of Dagatan National High School for School Year 2017-2018

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Educators continuously search ways on how to lead the students in more meaningful learning that promotes higher level of performance in Mathematics. In line with this, our curriculum realized the real importance of cooperative learning. This leads to study the use of peer teaching strategy in terms of one to one and group teaching to find out if it really increases the performance of the students.

METHODS

This study was quasi-experimental in nature, specifically, it utilized the pre-test and post-test design. It involved forty-four (44) Grade 8 students from Dagatan National High School. The instrument used in the study was researchers-made pre-test post-test that was validated by the Head Teacher of Mathematics and two teachers from Mathematics Department.

RESULTS

The group cooperative learning has a mean of 16.86 and mps of 74 on the pre-test and a mean of 22.09 and mps of 84 on the post-test. On the other hand, one to one tutorial gained mean of 18.32 on the pre-test and 23.45 on the post-test with the mps of 78 and 92 respectively. In comparison, the p value of their pre-test is 0.31 while 0.001 on their post-test.

DISCUSSIONS

The result shows that group cooperative learning and one on one tutorial increase the level of performance of the students in mathematics. It is also shown that during the pre-test, the two groups are not significant which implies that the strategies are the same statistically. In their post-test, it is marked that they have significant difference at 0.001. The result of the study supported the effectiveness of Peer Teaching especially the One to One Tutorial.
