ABSTRACT

This study primarily aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)-Based Learners Activity Sheets (LASs) to the performance of the Grade 6 pupils in Mathematics. The findings of the study were the bases for a proposed Recommendation plan. The study utilized complete enumeration in identifying the respondents of the study. This study used the Quasi-experimental method of research to determine the effectiveness of the Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)-Based Learners Activity Sheets (LASs) to Grade 6 pupils in Mathematics. The test of difference in the pretest and Posttest performances of the Grade 6 Pupils in Mathematics. It is shown through the test scores together with the level of significance. The data shows that the there was a big leap on the result of the pretest and the post-test performance of the Grade 6 pupils before and after the usage of the MELCbased learners activity sheets. It was clearly shown that in the pretest, the weighted mean equal to 12.60 is lower than the post-test performance, which is equal to 29.47 which resulted in a lower computed t value of 0.00 than the level of significance of 0.05. So the hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference in the pretest and posttest performance is rejected thus, the implementation of the Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)-based Learners activity sheets in mathematics is significantly effective in improving the performance of the Grade 6 pupils in Mathematics. The result implied that most of the grade 6 pupils who took the pretest and posttest have a positive effect on them. They are really motivated to read and comprehend the topic, learn from it, and live with it that resulted in an excellent performance after implementing the intervention. The experience of the pupils in the contextualized self-learning modules Learners activity sheets (LAS) that was locally crafted by the teachers really augmented the need of the students to increase their capacity to learn with in their own pace of learning.
