Master Thesis
This study tried to compare the academic achievement or performance of the five elementary schools in Taguig District III in the three major subject areas- English, Science and Mathematics in the Division Achievement Test during the school year 2001- 2002. This study, too, tried to determine the effect of the number of years of teaching experience of the teachers, family size, and days or frequency of television viewing on the pupil's academic achievement or performance. Specifically, tried to answer the following sub-problems: 1. How are the selected Grade Six pupils described when grouped according to following factors: 1.1 Teachers' number of years of teaching experience; 1.2 Family size; and 1.3 Frequency of Television viewing. 2. How do the selected grade six pupils compare in the Division Achievement Test in English, Science and Mathematics by: 2.1 School; 2.2 teachers' number of year teaching experience; 2.3 family size; and 2.4 frequency of television viewing. 3. Is there a significant difference in the mean scores of the selected Grade Six pupils in English, Science, and mathematics Achievement Test by the variables in sub-problem number two? 4. Is there a significant relationship between the pupils' scores in English and Mathematics?; English and Science?; And Science and Mathematics? 5. What implications can be drawn from the findings of this study? The descriptive method of research was employed in this study to come up with a description on how the pupils in the five elementary schools perform in the Division Achievement Test in English, Science and Mathematics by variable of interest. A total of 249 selected grade six pupils who came from the five elementary school of Taguig District III were involved in this study. They were systematically chosen (by the fishbowl technique) after the percentage share of each school was determined. The documentary analysis was also employed to get the test results of the selected pupils and the data needed in each of the variables.
