Improving the School’s Academic Performance of Students Under Drop-out, Tardiness, and Absenteeism (DOTA) through Project Collaboratively Linked and Adopt Northernians to Succeed (CLANS)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The school would like to determine the level of academic performance of students at risk of dropping-out, tardiness and absenteeism 1st and 2nd quarter, the school year 2018-2019, the improvement level of academic performance after the implementation of project DOTA-CLANS and the levels of effectiveness of the innovative interventions and strategies implemented (CLANS) Collaboratively link Northernians to academic performance of students at risk of dropping-out, tardiness, and absenteeism.

METHODS

A descriptive-evaluative Research Method was used to describe the level of academic performance of students under DOTA and the level of academic performance after the intervention. Analysis of difference was analyzed between the academic performance of students under DOTA before the intervention and after the intervention.

RESULTS

The findings showed that out of one hundred thirty-one (131) students who undergone intervention, 30 students or 23 percent achieved very high academic performance (91-95), 61 students or 46 percent were under high academic performance (85-90) and 40 of them or 31 percent moderately performed academically (81-85). There was a 5 to 10 significant difference from their academic grade before and after the intervention. In terms of the effectiveness of the intervention, the data on the performance of students proved that the interventions were effective.

DISCUSSIONS

This could be attributed to the teacher's commitment to deliver the intervention to students at-risk of dropping out and truancy through Project CHAT ME, LINK ME, ADOPT ME, NURTURE ME and STAND BY ME. The teachers monitored students under DOTA of their performance in school, their attendance, activities, output and maintain their interest.
