Effect of Modular Intervention Materials in Teaching Permutations and Combinations

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

To ensure the learners' optimum potentials in learning across all learning areas, The Division of Cavite Curriculum Implementation Division recommended Projects and Programs for SY 2018 -2021 such as HI-TEACH, POWER IT UP, I-LIKHA, AGAP, SALIK SURI, PROJECT KALINGA. With the desire to increase the achievement level of the students in Mathematics 10, the proponents conducted an experiment on the "Effect of Modular Intervention Materials in Teaching Permutations and Combinations Among Grade 10 Students in Gen. E. Aguinaldo National High School-Bailen", SY 2018 -2019.

METHODS

The proponent used the experimental type of research to determine the effect of the modular intervention materials in teaching Permutations and Combinations. The proponent used Purposive Sampling to come up with the desired composition of respondents. The proponents selected the controlled and experimental groups assuming that the two sets of respondents had the same level of abilities in Mathematics 10 from the start of this action research. The proponents used a module in teaching Permutations and Combinations consisting of ten (10) activities to be answered at home by the students who belong to the experimental group. The statistical tool used was the t-test. After the experimental period, the controlled and experimental groups were given a 40-item test to determine the computed t-value.

RESULTS

The t -computed value is -4.15 which is beyond the critical value of 2.021 at 0.05 level of significance with 40 degrees of freedom. The null hypothesis is therefore rejected in favor of the research hypothesis. This means that there is a significant difference between the scores obtained in the test on Permutations and Combinations by the students with modular intervention materials compared with the students with no modular intervention materials.

DISCUSSIONS

This study showed that localized and contextualized intervention material contributed to an increase in the mastery level of the experimental group, so, this will be given to all Grade 10 students in the succeeding years to support the Division of Cavite, Curriculum Implementation Division's recommended Projects and Programs for SY 2018 -2021: Hi-Teach, Power it Up, AGAP, SALIK SURI and KALINGA. Development and implementation of remediation, reinforcement and intervention plans across all learning areas, such as but not limited to: Remedial teaching, Home Based Module Utilization Approach, Enhancement activity after class and etc. were recommended.
