V+HOP Combo: approach to increase students’ performance in Science VI

Abstract

The improvement of students’ performance has become an increasing priority for teachers over the last decade. Hence, the focus should be directed to the development of integrated, generalizable, and transferable skills among our learners. The purpose of this study is to enhance the students’ performance in Science VI using the V+HOP Combo (Video-aided instruction, Hands-On, and Peer learning). A descriptive research design was used in this study to determine the effect of the intervention on the academic performance of the participants who were the 10 Grade Six pupils of Jose Rizal Elementary School enrolled in the School Year 2020-2021 who got an average of 79 and below from the first quarter to the third quarter. Results of the pretest and posttest were used to determine if there is a significant difference in their performance. The test of difference or t-test showed that utilizing of V+HOP Combo significantly improved the scores of the students.  This proves that the strategy is effective and helpful in enhancing the academic performance of the learners involved in this study. Consequently, it is recommended to schools and teachers the use of V+HOP Combo to increase and enhance the students’ performance in all subject areas.  Also, researchers are encouraged to explore other strategies that could be integrated into the V+HOP COMBO to further increase its efficacy in boosting student performance.
