ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to evaluate the Effectiveness of contextualized reading materials to the Performance of the Grade 7 learners in Filipino. The findings of the study were the bases for the proposed Improvement Plan. This study utilized the Quasi-Experimental research design to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. the test of difference between scores in the pretest and posttest of the Grade 7 students in Filipino subject. The test of significant difference is based on the scores gained by the grade 7 leaners based on the pretest and posttest reading performance before and after the integration of the contextualized reading materials.

The findings of the study were the bases for the proposed Improvement Plan. This study utilized the Quasi-Experimental research design to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. the test of difference between scores in the pretest and posttest of the Grade 7 students in Filipino subject. the test of difference between scores in the pretest and posttest of the Grade 7 students in Filipino subject. The test of significant difference is based on the scores gained by the grade 8 leaners based on the pretest and posttest reading performance before and after the integration of the contextualized reading materials. Based from the results in table 3, it shows that the results of the pretest and posttest scores of the grade 7 students in Filipino that their scores before they experience the intervention is lower than the scores after they received the intervention considering that they gained weighted mean before while after the intervention is implemented which resulted to the computed T value of higher than the critical T value.
The results which based on the test of significant difference in the pretest and posttest scores of the Grade 7 respondents in reading of the Filipino subject before and after the integration of the contextualized reading materials implied that having the new intervention in testing their skills in reading is quite good considering that the result in treating the data is significantly effective having the pretest is bit lower than the posttest performance of the learners after utilizing the intervention which means that the intervention is really effective in improving the performance of the Grade 8 learners in reading compared to those learners who are not experiencing the intervention. So the hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference in the pretest and posttest reading performance of the grade 7 learners before and after the integration of contextualized reading materials is rejected. Moreover, utilizing this intervention is really effective in improving the performance of the Grade 7 learners.
