The Effectiveness of Teacher's Made Module in Enhancing the Reading Comprehension Level of Grade 7 at Delia Diezmo National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The study determined the effectiveness of Teacher's Made Module in enhancing the level of reading comprehension of Grade 7 students at Delia Diezmo National High School who enrolled during the S.Y. 2017-2018 through the help of senior-mentoring.

METHODS

The data was observed through oral reading and silent reading based on the standard set by the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PHIL-IRI). The 50 respondents were the Grade 7 students whose reading comprehension falls under frustration level. The study answered the following research question: 1) What is the reading comprehension level of Grade 7 students at Delia Delia National High School as revealed by the Phil IRI result in terms of Literal, Interpretive, Applied? 2) What are the effects of module-based senior mentoring in enhancing the reading comprehension level of Grade 7 students? 3) Is there a significant difference in the reading comprehension of the students after the module-based senior mentoring? 4) What other intervention could be done to address the reading deficiency of Grade 7 students? The study consists of one experimental group and one control group with 25 randomly selected respondents for each group. The experimental group has undergone the module-based senior mentoring while the control group has a conventional way of remedial reading. Both groups followed the same aim and scope of the course.

RESULTS

The investigation used descriptive and inferential statistics. The analysis of the T-test was performed to identify the significant differences in terms of the effectiveness of the experimental (utilized module-based senior mentoring) and control (conventional) groups. The study is also statistically conducted directly to investigate the effectiveness of the teacher's made module. The different mean values for pre-test and post-test were tested, and the hypothesis testing using paired sample t-test was used. The results of the study have a higher mean value for post-test than pre-test in the experimental and control group. Moreover, the study found that both groups improved using the teacher's made module with or without senior mentoring.

DISCUSSIONS

The study proffered a number of recommendations to maintain and improve more the reading comprehension level of Grade 7 students.
