The Effectiveness of Project 555 among the Grade 6 Pupils in Urdaneta E/S S.Y. 2017-18

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of Project 555 among Grade 6 pupils in Urdaneta E/S SY 2017-18.

METHODS

The method used in the study was a descriptive method of research. All 68 grade 6 pupils of Urdaneta Elementary School were included in the study. Four Grade 6 teachers were assigned to launching the project. The instrument used were a 40-item test before and after the implementation of Project 555 and interview to the subject teachers. The statistical treatment used were a percentage, weighted mean, SD, MPS, and T-test dependent group.

RESULTS

Based on the interview, the problems encountered were absenteeism, lack of interest and school activities. Based on the comparison of the pretest and posttest of the pupils who undergone Project 555, the performance of the respondents increased from a mean percentage score of 52.8% to 77.72%. Hence the intervention is valuable and effective. There was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores based on the computed t value on each learning areas which exceeds a low critical value. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected.

DISCUSSIONS

The result suggests the following:1. Though Project 555 doesn't achieve its main target, we can’t deny the fact that it has a great impact on the performance of the respondents. Therefore, it must be continuously implemented.2.) It can be effectively done in all grade levels. 3.) The teachers should be able to prepare varied strategies that will make their pupils motivated and driven to fully comprehend the lessons. Give more reinforcements to the pupils like a certificate or small gift to motivate the children further in attending the program. This project must be scheduled earlier to avoid overlapping of school activities.
