Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study aimed to determine the effects of using the module to the performance in Statistics of selected fourth-year students of Felicisimo T. San Luis National High School, S.Y. 2016-2017. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions; (1) What is the mean level of student's perception on the module in Statistics in terms of (a) Objectives, (b) Content and (c) Activities? (2) What is the mean level of the respondents' performance in Statistics terms of (a) Pre-test and (b) Post-test? (3) Is there a significant effect of the use of the module to the performance in Statistics of the students?

METHODS

The experimental method of research was used in this study to determine the effect of using the module to the performance in Statistics of selected fourth-year students' of Felicisimo T. San Luis National High School. The statistical treatment utilized in this study consisted of a weighted mean, standard deviation, percentage, and t-test to establish the effects of the module on the students' performance. The self-made module and the checklist were used as the main instrument of this study. The collected data were computed electronically using Microsoft Excel 2010® and treated statistically with the use of mean, standard deviation and two-tailed t-tests.

RESULTS

The findings are formulated in the view on the data analysis of the present study. The respondents rated the objectives of the module as "Very Attainable", it's content "Very Comprehensive", and its activities"Very Enriching". The post-tests' scores got a mean value of 21.03 and remarked as "Very Satisfactory" which exceeded the mean value of pre-tests' score of 17.40 and was remarked as "Satisfactory". The pre-test with a mean of 17.40 and post-test with a mean of 21.03 has the mean difference of 3.63. Therefore, the difference between the mean scores of pre-test and post-test only implied that there is a significant difference between their test results. The computed t-value revealed that there is a "Significant" effect of using the module to the performance in Statistics of the students.

DISCUSSIONS

The researcher recommended the following: Students must study at home to be prepared as they go to school. Therefore, students must use modules as their guide in studying at home and use exercises in it to broaden more their knowledge and to practice what they learned; Teachers must give students modules to give them guidance in understanding the topic they must study. Modulesinstructional materials that can be used before or after each lesson.
