SITUATION
. An achievement test is designed to assess what a person has already learned,.
These tests are designed to assess current performance in an academic area. Because
achievement is viewed as an indicator of previous learning, it is often used to predict
future academic success. An achievement test administered in a public school setting
would typically include separate measures of vocabulary, language skills and reading
comprehension, arithmetic computation and problem solving, science, and social studies.
Individual achievement is determined by comparison of results with average scores
derived from large representative national or local samples.

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
There is no behavior without reason. Behind any action, there are contributory factors that
lead/push an individual to do such unhealthy act. For premarital sex, these are some of the factors
influencing young people to engage of the latter.
A. Family Children who are not well-brought up are likely to fall into wrong hands.
B. Peer pressure No man is an island. Every human being has always the desire of
belongingness.
C. Community The society plays an important role in the formation of ones behavior.
Whatever an individual perceives in his surroundings; practices which are
already very familiar would greatly influence his/her character.
D. Electronic Media/Books and Magazines These contributed to the high rate of premarital
sex. What youth watch on television screen, stories they read and pictures they see in books
and magazines would likely stimulate and ignite a curious mind about sex.

PLAN OF ACTION
Based from the result of this research/survey, some of the factors influencing a young
individual to engage in premarital sex are family, peer pressure, environment and
electronic media/books and magazine. Its very alarming that electronic media/books and
magazines had greatly influenced the young minds of the youths.

ANALYSIS
This study would somehow help the students to be aware of the possible causes why
a person could be easily persuaded by his/her emotions. Some of these behaviors are
just the products of the circumstances one went through with his family, surrounding,
peer and media. Most importantly, this act must not be tolerated rather should be
prevented or avoided.
VII.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
doing the actions which are beyond his/her limit if she fully understands the consequences of
engaging into it.
One must also be aware of her/ his sexuality. This kind of program must always be included
in the office of the Guidance Counselor of every school. Government agencies whose concerns are
these matters should be serious in the implementation of these programs. This problem could not be
solely handled by the schools personnel.
For this school year, we are thankful that one of the top priorities of the Honorable Governor
Emmylou J. Talio - Mendoza, is to strengthen self-awareness in students by conducting a
symposium on Adolescent Health and Youth Development to every school in North Cotabato. The
students of Amas NHS, together with 3 resource persons from POP COM office had a symposium
on August 3, 2012 which promoted respect for one self and presented the danger of involving
oneself with an unreasonable act. One way or another, the video they saw helped them understand
why and how a person was placed into that awful situation. Likewise, the PowerPoint presentation
somehow makes them reluctant/frighten in involving themselves into an act which is regretful.

ITLE OF RESEARCH:
Improvement of the MPS in National Achievement Test (NAT) in Mathematics III of the
Grade III pupils of Hayangon Primary School from 48.17 to 53.17.
TIMEFRAME:
June 2011 to March, 2012
I. SITUATION:
For several years now the researcher have observed that the pupils in Grade III of
Hayangon Primary School have been struggling in their performance in Math as
indicated by the results of the yearly National Achievement Test (NAT). Poor
performance is a problem manifested in various subject areas and more observable in
Mathematics. In the previous years, a number of strategies and interventions were
administered by the teacher to tackle the issue but only produced marginal positive
result. The teacher attributed this poor performance to several factors including but not
limited to the pupils lack of study habits, poor home reinforcement and encouragement
as well as poor diet and nutrition. To assist pupils in increasing their Math MPS in the
NAT, the teacher made this action research.
