ABSTRACT

— This study was conducted to evaluate the Effectiveness of Learning Activity Sheets to the Performance of the Kindergarten Pupils. The findings of the study were the bases for the proposed Enhancement Plan. This study utilized the Quasi-Experimental research design to determine the Effectiveness of the Learning Activity Sheets to the Performance of the Kindergarten Pupils. In the Quasi- experimental research design, the researcher prepared the Learning activity sheets that focused on the least learned learning competencies as well as facilitating in the giving of pretest and posttest to the identified respondents in order to gather necessary data that will be significant in the study. The test of difference between scores in the pretest and posttest performances of the Kindergarten pupils in the different learning competencies delivered by the teachers and learned by them. The results in table 3 are based on the records in the pretest performance before the respondents received the intervention as well as the results provided by the respondents in the posttest which usually the product after the teacher delivers the chosen intervention. This table also shows the results on the computed t value as well as to the critical t value which was based on the pretest and posttest performance of the kindergarten pupils and as basis on the decision of the hypothesis whether to accept or reject. Based from the results in table 3, it shows that the results in the pretest scores or performance is lower than the posttest performance. Based from the results, it can be gleaned that there was really an excellent result after the respondents received the intervention compared to the results of the learners when they were not still exposed to the intervention prepared by the teacher. The performance of the Kindergarten learners from the pretest performance to the posttest performance were resulted to the computed T value and it is greater than the critical t value. These results guided the researcher to make a decision regarding the hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference between the pretest and posttest performance of the Kindergarten before and after the integration of Learning Activity Sheets in Reading is rejected.
The results in table 3 implied that there was a significant difference on the result of the pretest and posttest scores of the Kindergarten pupils . Meaning when the learners are not exposed to the new trend in teaching there are tendencies that they cannot really reaped good or excellent performance because they will just based on their different learning experiences which were focused only on the things they encounter from their parents or from their peers compared to the results when they are already exposed to the new intervention given to them because they gave excellent results or scores as reflected in the table from the post assessment conducted by the teachers. It is further implied that utilizing the Learning activity sheets in the delivery of the different topics of Kindergarten curriculum is significantly effective in improving the test performance of the respondents. Moreover, the teachers should continually utilized the chosen intervention in order for the learners to be more motivated to the different topics they will be experiencing while the teaching and learning is ongoing considering that they really excellently given performance.
