I. CONTEXT AND RATIONALE

Today’s closures of the educational institution due to the outbreak of COVID-

19 led to an unprecedented impact on education. During the lockdown, teachers are instructed

to teach through online learning platforms (Abidah, Hidaayatullaah, Simamora, Fehabutar, &

Mutakinati, 2020). Raju (2020) argued that there is a need to adopt innovative teaching for

continuing education and to overcome mental stress and anxieties during the lockdown. The

outbreak of COVID-19 results in the digital revolution in the education system through

online lectures, teleconferencing, digital open books, online examination, and interaction at

virtual environments (Strielkowski, 2020,, Kumar, 2020). A significant positive impact of

COVID-19 also reported learning efficiency and performances by adopting online learning

strategies (Gonzalez et al. 2020). The online mode of the teaching-learning process is often

discriminatory to poor and marginalized students. It is identified that hearing-impaired

students face challenges in online learning (Manzoor, 2020). During this lockdown period,

the closing of educational institutions hampered the education system and the teaching-

learning process. Understanding the teaching-learning process in this crisis period is

imperative to design effective interventions for the smooth running of teaching and learning

(India Today, 2020).

Learning is taking place its new normal process. School opening will not necessarily

mean traditional face-to-face learning in the classroom (DepEd Order No. 012 s. 2020). The
Republic Of The Philippines
Department of Education
Region 02
Schools Division of Quirino
BALLIGUI HIGH SCHOOL
physical opening for the school year 2020-2021 depends on the risk severity grading or

classification of a certain community pursuant to guidelines from the Department of Health

(DOH), the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious

Diseases in the Philippines and the Office of the President (OP). In order that learning and

teaching will still take place modular distance learning is advice to be used for this school

year specially to the areas where internet connection is limited. Modular Distance learning

involves individualized instructions that allows learners to use self-learning modules (SLMs)

in print or digital format/ electronic copy, whichever is applicable in the context of the

learner, and other learning resources like Learners materials, textbooks, activity sheets, study

guides and other study materials. Learners access electronic copies of learning materials on a

computer, tablet PC or smartphone. CDs, DVDs, USB storage and computer-based

applications can all be used to deliver e-learning materials, including off E-books. The

teacher takes the responsibility of monitoring the progress of the learners. The learner may

ask assistance from the teacher via-email, telephone, text message, etc. Where possible, the

teacher shall do home visits to learners needing remediation or assistance. Any member of

the family or other stakeholder in the community needs to serve as para teachers. (DepEd

Learning Delivery Modalities for School Year 2020-2021, D.O. No. 32, s. 2020).

Nowadays, in the secondary school setting, there are some challenges being

encountered by the teachers especially in teaching Mathematics. It is not an easy task to

encourage learners to love numbers. It is evident that there are some of the junior high school

students who experience difficulties in learning Mathematics. This is evident in the latest

survey conducted by PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) where

Philippines was rank the lowest in reading comprehension and second lowest in science and
Republic Of The Philippines
Department of Education
Region 02
Schools Division of Quirino
BALLIGUI HIGH SCHOOL
mathematics among 79 countries. This is a challenge which requires an immediate action.

Learners as clienteles in school are the focus in the classroom scenario. In order to motivate

learners in attaining successful learning, it is necessary for the teachers to be creative in

teaching. Producing a learning enhancement activity that is new to the learners is one

effective way. Orient the learners that learning Mathematics is fun. Integration of exciting

games and electronic – based learning can increase the students’ participation in problem –

solving.

It is in the hands of the teachers to improve the learners’ capability in learning this

subject. One of the effective methods is the remediation or enrichment activities that are

suited to the students’ learning style. This can be applied through the implementation of

differentiated instruction. Every learner has his/her own way of learning. Adaptability to

change is an efficient and effective trait of the teachers which can be utilized to increase the

interest of the learners in learning Mathematics. This happens when teachers produce

learning innovation that could definitely decrease the number of non – numerates.

Despite the challenges in teaching Mathematics, teachers still need to embrace their

responsibility and exhibit commitment towards the improvement of the learners. It is the

mission of every teacher to help learners to become successful and productive citizen of the

country. Teachers can transform challenges into solutions. Finally, learning goals will be

attainable when there is creativity in teaching.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, students’ self-regulated learning became the main

learning method, but whether this learning method is effective remains to be tested. Teachers

should guide students to carry out self-regulated learning according to the characteristics of
Republic Of The Philippines
Department of Education
Region 02
Schools Division of Quirino
BALLIGUI HIGH SCHOOL
the discipline. Teachers should choose self-regulated learning materials and methods suitable

for students according to their academic conditions.

With these different changes in our environment the transferring of learning to the

students must also adopt to the new normal. Teaching mathematics is more challenging in

this new normal, discussions face to face will be limited or not even possible because of the

fear of parents on the COVID-19. Students tempted to just copy the answer key on the

modules if they cannot understand the discussion on the topic. Today’s mathematics

teachers are experiencing major changes not only in the content they teach but also in the way

they teach. Nearly all of these teachers came through school when mathematics consisted of a

collection of facts and skills to be memorized or mastered by a relatively homogenous group

of students taught using a lecture approach. Now teachers are called to teach new more

challenging mathematics to a different audience using a different technique that is appropriate

in the area.

In view of the above settings of education the present study aims to identify the

effectiveness of modular distance learning with the use of SPA-LAS in the academic

performance of the grade 10 students in Mathematics. SPA-LAS (Small Group-Pair-Alone _

Learning Activity Sheets) is a strategy that will consider the geographical locations of

students. Students will be grouped in the different drop point. Small group will be students

that are neighborhood, pair will be students that are in one house and alone will be students

that are in far flung areas that is impossible for them to group with their classmates. Each

group will be given the Learning Activity Sheets that is being provided by the Department of

Education. They will be monitored through online with those have internet connectivity and

BALLIGUI HIGH SCHOOL
face to face following strictly the IATF protocols with the students who have no internet

connectivity in their area.

Furthermore, the researcher needs to find out the effective strategy SPA (Small

Group-Pair and Alone) on the modular learning to improve the learning ability of the students

using the LAS (Learning Activity Sheets) as support during the implementation

II. ACTION RESEARCH QUESTIONS

This study aims to determine the effect of SPA-LAS (Small Group-Pair-Alone-

Learning Activity Sheets) in the academic performance of grade 10 students in measures of

position. The SPA (small group-pair-alone) is the strategy to be used. Students will be

grouped in to three, the small group which consist of 3to 4 members in one drop point, in pair

they are students that are living in one house while the individual are students that is located

in far flung areas . This is to determine which of the best among the three strategies will

really improve the performance of the grade 10 students. The instructional materials to be

used is the LAS (Learning Activity Sheets) that is provided by the department to be used in

modular class. This will cover the six competencies for the fourth quarter.

Specifically, it will seek answer to the following questions:

1. What is the mean of the scores in the pre-test of the respondents?

2. What is the mean of the scores in the post-test of the respondents?

3. Is there a significant difference between the scores of the participants using the SPA?

4. What is the effect size of SPA-LAS in improving the performance of grade 10

students in measures of position?


Republic Of The Philippines
Department of Education
Region 02

5. How is the experience of the respondents on the implementation of SPA-LAS in

learning the measures of position?

6. What are the challenges met by the researcher in the implementation of SPA-LAS in

learning the measures of position?

III. PROPOSED INNOVATION, INTERVENTION, AND STRATEGIES

An activity sheet is commonly a piece of paper with questions or activities. Students

can either place their answers or perform the specific activity. In addition to that, the activity

sheet is also used to record the activities done by a person, a group of people, a family, or an

organization. The LAS that will be used in this research is the LAS that is from the

Department of Education and it is being quality assured by the different supervisors. This

LAS will serve as the instrument in implementing the SPA in teaching mathematics.

Students will be grouped into three, the small group, pair and the individual learner.

Small groups are students that are located in one drop point this is because of the community

quarantine that is happening in our country it consists of 3 to 4 members following the IATF

protocols. In pair learning they are students that are staying in one house or neighborhood

students while in individual are students that are located in far flung areas that it is not

possible for them to be in pair or in small group. This three group of students will be

provided by the Learning Activity Sheets that was given by the Department of Education to

be used in their modular class.

The pre and post-test that will be used was adopted from the students’ learner’s

manual which was quality assured by the experts in the Department.

IV. ACTION RESEARCH METHOD


Republic Of The Philippines
Department of Education
Region 02
Schools Division of Quirino
BALLIGUI HIGH SCHOOL
Pre-test and post-test design will be used. The proponent decides to use this design

because of the nature of the problem presented. Since the strategy is meant to be used in

teaching all students were selected as a respondent. The pre-test and post-test will be taken

and compared to determine what strategy will improved the performance of grade 10 students

on measures of position. There will be three groups of respondents, the small group, pair

and the individual learner. They will all receive the same learning activity sheets and will go

with the learning process in the modular way.

a. Participants and/or other Sources of Data and information

This study will be conducted at Balligui High School, Maddela, Division of Quirino.

The respondents of this study will be the seventy-four (74) grade 10 students of Balligui High

School for school year 2021-2022 compose of 2 sections and each section has 37 students

divided heterogeneous. (Eagle and Dove). The students will be grouped into three according

to their drop point area (drop point area is the nearest area where the students can claim his

/her modules) for the reason that it is easy for them to communicate if they are located in one

area, purposive sampling was the process used in selecting the participants.

b. Data Gathering Method

The study will follow the three major steps; pre-implementation, implementation and

post-implementation, during the pre-implementation the researcher will prepare the pretest

and post and LAS, print pretest and post-test in booklet type, seek recommendation from the

Schools Research Committee for the research proposal and submit research proposal to the

Schools Division Research Committee. In the implementation the researcher conduct

orientation to students and parents through messenger text and call, administer the pre-test to

the respondents, tabulate the result of pre-tests and analyze the result, implement the

1. Mean will be used to determine the mean of the pre-test and post-test scores of the

respondents

2. . One Way ANOVA will be used to determine if there is a significant difference

between the participants as small group, pair, alone.

3. Eta-squared will be used to determine the effect size of SPA-LAS in the

performance of the participants in learning the measures of variability.

4. Thematic analysis will be used to analyze students’ responses as to their

experiences with the intervention.
