Effectiveness of Different Strategies and Approaches Used in Teaching Science in Grade Five-Singkil (Sy 2017-2018)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Science has a big role in developing learners into a competitive one. This can be achieved by recognizing the unique ways of the strategies used in teaching Science. Science concepts might be developed in learners by practice. The goal of sound science education is to fabricate pupils to discover, research, analyze, comprehend, understand, remember, elaborate, evaluate and more.It is distressing that many of the pupils in Grade Five-Singkil (2017-2018) failed. As an educator, it is our role to help our learners achieve more. Helping this class to achieve the desired passing score, the researcher will apply the following strategies and approaches in teaching the subject like integrated technology, constructivism, collaborative, game-based learning, inquiry-based and reflective.This research showed that using differentiated methods in teaching Science will surely uplift learners' interest to like, learn and love Science.

METHODS

To make this study relevant, test papers and scores of the quarterly test of Grade Five-Singkil should be used to know if the different strategies in teaching Science are all useful to increase their scores to passing scores. The researcher also gathered reasons why many learners failed the test. The reasons were: lack of interest; hardly understand the Science lesson; absenteeism; and family problems. To come up with the best result in increasing the number of pupils who will pass the test, the researcher made a schedule of activities every weekday using the different strategies and approaches in teaching Science; a well-planned log; and updating the parents about the progress of their children in the said subject.

RESULTS

Using different strategies and approaches in teaching this subject has a great effect in achieving the objective. After identifying the possible problems that hindrance our learners to pass the quarterly test, application of appropriate strategies will not be as hard as it is because children learn more from this. They show interest in learning the subject and excited about what would be the next topic to be discussed.

DISCUSSIONS

Through data gathering and monitoring learners' progress in passing the Science tests', integrating the lessons in Science with technology and other approaches of the 21st-Century curriculum enhanced the pupils' academic performance. And one thing to emphasize is that all educators should adopt what is the trend in teaching all subjects.
