ABSTRACT

The study was determined to look into the effectiveness on the use of Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) study method as a strategic tool for increasing Grade Six pupils’ academic performance amidst the current crisis who were enrolled in San Miguel Central Elementary School during the S.Y. 2020-2021 utilizing the quasi- experimental method of research to demonstrate the effectiveness of studying towards the use of SQ3R study method. The queries about the pupil’s academic performance were answered in this study after the data have been gathered, analyzed and interpreted. A total of 28 Grade Six pupils in Osmeña section as respondents were treated with SQ3R study method as experimental group, while the remaining total of 28 Grade Six pupils in Roxas section as respondents were exposed to conventional skimming method of studying as controlled group. To determine the level of the pupil’s academic performance, pre-tests were administered directly before the content for each course were delivered and post-tests were followed after the delivery of each content to both experimental and control group. The processing of data was done utilizing the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) computer software. The measure of mean was used in getting the Mean Percentage Score and One-Way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to spell out the significant difference between the result of the pretest and posttest. The findings signified that there was an increase in the pupil’s academic performance from the pretest to posttest using Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) study method. It was evident that there was a significant difference in pupil’s level of achievement using SQ3R study method and conventional skimming method. The study had drawn an implication on the consideration of the use of SQ3R study method in the implementation of any remediation and intervention activities and strategies to help improve pupil’s academic performance. Teachers must ensure and provide that learning activities at home that can draw pupil’s interest and active participation amidst the pandemic situation.
