Project Go Boards: A Teaching-Learning Intervention to Improve Academic Performance in Mathematics Among Selected Grade 6 - Dalton Pupils

Abstract

Project GO Boards are a carefully selected collection of activities that are differentiated and designed to support pupil engagement and learning motivation. This aligns with DepEd Memo No. O23 s. 2023, Adoption of the National Learning Recovery Program (NLRP) that shall help bridge the learning gaps of learners highlighting literacy and numeracy. This study was conducted at Itaas Elementary School involving fifteen pupils in the Grade Six-Dalton every  Wednesday and Friday from November 2023 to February 2024. It sought to determine whether using the GO Boards effectively improved the respondents’ academic performance. The data-gathering tools included the 20-item pretest,  post-test, and their reflection log-in sheet. In this study, GO Boards were effective in increasing the level of the student’s academic performance in Mathematics. This was based on the results of the post-test where the computed mean value was higher than the pretest Mean and MPS.  Thus, the null hypothesis of the study was rejected, and the alternate hypothesis was accepted. There was a significant difference in the pretest and post-test scores of the selected students of Grade Six – Dalton before and after using the Project GO Boards. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the use of GO Boards improved the academic performance of the selected participants. They had improved their level of performance in mathematics, as manifested by the increase in post-test scores and their grades. The study's results showed that the intervention was effective in improving the academic performance in Mathematics among the selected Grade Dalton pupils.
