Intervention Activities in Science Subject of Grade Six-Mapagbigay Pupils of Pook Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Composing of forty-one (41) pupils, Grade Six-Mapagbigay pupils have been diagnosed with poor performance in the Science subject. Through this study, intervention activities were executed after the series of researches which aimed to assess the pupils’ performance in different aspects of Science subject.

METHODS

In this study, descriptive research method was used to obtain the data needed. Furthermore, the researchers formulated questionnaires for the forty-one (41) pupils of Grade Six-Mapagbigay taking Science subjects who served as the respondents in the conduct of this study. The researchers also used data gathering procedures like observations on focus group experimentation, discussion, and evaluation of the lessons to attain the objective of this study.

RESULTS

Based on the obtained results, the performance of Grade Six-Mapagbigay pupils in the content areas of Science like experiments, discussion, and evaluation of the lessons, pre-test results are really poor. To develop Grade Six-Mapagbigay pupils’ performance in Science subject, intervention activities were implemented.

DISCUSSIONS

This study aims to identify the performance of Grade Six-Mapagbigay pupils in the Science subject of Pook Elementary School and what intervention activities would be implemented to advance their performance. It focused on the status of instruction in Science subject. The researcher found that the poor science performance of pupils can be developed and enhanced through the following: teacher's creativity, resourcefulness, and dedication, harmonious relationship between parents and teachers contributes to pupils' interest in school activities, the employment of different techniques and strategies in Science with appropriate instructional materials facilitates pupils' learning and constant monitoring and evaluation of pupils, progress in Science.

Based on the foregoing findings, the following strategies can be applied to the set of pupils who have poor Science performance like Grade Six-Mapagbigay: expose pupils to varied science activities that will encourage maximum participation at the start of the year, provide children Science enrichment exercises or drills, continue to seek parents' cooperation in guiding and supervising their children in doing school work, utilization of Television Assisted Instruction (Knowledge Channel) and maintain the functionality of the Science Learning Resource Center and E-Learning Classroom.
