Evaluating the Projects Accomplished in Arts of the Grade 5 -Earth Pupils of Paaralang Elementarya ng Palahanan 2018-2019

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Arts is one of the most interesting subjects in school but sometimes it is being neglected. Teachers were aware of its importance but mostly the time was spent for remediation in academic subjects or copying the lesson for the day especially in the lower section. The new curriculum that was implemented by Department of Education, the K to 12, Arts is being given the same weight as the academic subjects but still it is sometimes being neglected. Sensing that some of the Grade 5 -Earth pupils have been reluctant with regards to accomplishing the required projects in Arts, the teacher thought of helping the subject, hence this action research has been made.

METHODS

The descriptive method of research was employed with the use of interview, questionnaire, and checklist prepared by the teacher-adviser as a tool to gather data. The respondents of this study were 12 Grade 5 -Earth pupils (4 male and 8 female) of Paaralang Elementarya ng Palahanan school year 2018-2019.

RESULTS

The results of the interview, questionnaire, and checklist done by the adviser revealed the following:(1) that they cannot afford to buy materials used; (2) financial difficulty; (3) availability of materials;(4) lack of parents’ concern; (5) laziness on the part of the pupils; and (6) lack of pupil’s interest on the project. Based on the class record of the teacher, during the first grading period, 12 pupils did not submit projects while during the second grading, the number of pupils without projects was lessened.

DISCUSSIONS

The foregoing findings made the researcher conclude that although 100% completion cannot be attained, through proper guidance by both the parents and teachers, pupils can accomplish the required projects.
