3. Conducted home visitation

III. Findings/Data Gathered

1. Pupils were having poor living conditions because their homes were totally
destroyed by super typhoon Yolanda.
2. Parents failed to supervise school related activities for they were preoccupied
with financial problems and how to address the basic and immediate needs of the
family.
3. Pupils were still having trauma on the horrible experiences they had during the
super typhoon.

IV. Analysis and Interpretation

The problem on the failure of sixty seven percent out of 67 Grade VI-1 and 2 to do
their homework is due to the bad effects of super typhoon Yolanda on the families of this
67% of the total grade VI population of Burauen South Central School which cased the
total destruction of the houses of the families of these pupils. Not only did they loss their
houses but their properties and food as well. The pupils poor living condition with less
food, some live in tents with no lights, no books and less school supplies were the
contributory factors that affected the pupils performance specifically in the
accomplishment of their daily homework. Besides they were having the trauma which
greatly affected their attitude towards their school related concerns.
