A Modular-Type Reviewer: A Tool to Improve the Science Academic Performance of Grade Six Pupils in Sta. Cruz Elementary School, Bay, Laguna

Abstract

The essential purpose of this research was to find out whether or not the use of Modular-Type Reviewer could help improve the pupils’ academic performance in Science. The data for the study were obtained from 30 Grade six pupils of Sta. Cruz Elementary School, Bay, Laguna enrolled in the school year 2018-2019. These pupils were targeted due to their low level of performance in Science. Modular-Type Reviewer was used as the strategy as the pupils were lack of mastery in different learning competencies in Science, thus affecting their performance level. A pre-test and post-test were given before and after the implementation of the modules. Data were analyzed according to the following two research questions: 1) What is the level of performance of the pupils based on the pre-test and post-test results using Modular-Type Reviewer? And 2) What is the significant difference that exists between pre-test and post-test results? This is action research, and two data gathering methods such as test results and interviews were used. The data were analyzed and interpreted by using statistical application -mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings of this study proved that the use of Modular-Type Reviewer helped improve the pupils’ academic performance in Science as the pupils were able to remember concepts and attained an increased Mean Percentage Score (MPS) in Science as revealed by the post-test and quarterly test results. This study proposes the suggestion of using Modular-Type Reviewer in other grade levels, Grade three to five to improve the implementation of the strategy.
