EXAMPLE
Conduct of the method. Discussions were followed utilizing the collaborative learning
method. The respondents were observed on how they interacted and collaborated among
others.
Administration of the posttest. Posttest was then administered the following day with
the application of the intervention.
Retrieval of the posttest. The researchers then retrieved and collected the accomplished
instruments.
Tallying. Responses were tallied accordingly and with confidentiality.
EXAMPLE
STATISTICAL TREATMENT
Teachers should utilize the use of collaborative learning method in improving the reading
comprehension levels of the students especially with those reading difficulty.
School should encourage the teachers to utilize and make a habit in applying the collaborative
learning method in maximizing students’ full participation in class and in promoting the
comprehension levels of the students.
Future researchers may replicate the study utilizing another grade level, expanding the duration of
the study and by considering a control group as one of the variables of the study to show
effectiveness of the method used.
