Utilization of Modern Teaching-Learning Approaches in Improving Students Performance in Grade 10 Araling Panlipunan

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The teaching-learning process has been evolving rapidly the past few years. The decline in the scores of the students in the National Achievement Test was clearly seen and it proved that the sudden change in the educational system needs to be given so much attention nowadays. As facilitators and sources of knowledge, teachers are giving their best shot to ensure that their students learn and enhance their potential at the maximum level. They are striving harder in their daily class sessions, thinking on how and in what way should a lesson be presented. As everything is evolving nowadays, the practice of the lecture method is now in the process of being dissolved and is to be replaced by the so called interactive or modern method. In this study, the researcher would like to find out the strategy to prove the effectiveness among students of the new generation. Education is the most powerful weapon that every individual must have. As human beings, it is their right to learn and be sent to school. Academes, universities and institutions are perfect places where they can acquire fruitful knowledge, learn meaningful lessons and instil best values and practices.

METHODS

This research made use of both quantitative and qualitative forms of research. Series of interviews, observation and comparative analyses of the results of the pre-test and posttest were made to identify which method could be proven effective among the selected Grade 10 students of Gregorio Perfecto High School.

RESULTS

Based on the structured interviews conducted by the researcher, it was found out that the students would prefer making sure of their social media accounts when answering a particular question or when presenting their ideas. The respondents found that using and posting online was the easiest way as long as they have internet connectivity. Unlike with groupings, they could easily be more creative because they were given too much resources, as well as time, on how they could be able to show their cart.

DISCUSSIONS

After gathering and analyzing data from this study, the researcher found out that the traditional teaching method is still the best way to deliver and present a lesson. Though it cannot be denied that the technologies are on its way to a more advanced and fully developed era, integration should be thought as the easiest at this point.
