EFFECTS OF TEACHER'S STRATEGIES TO THE LITERACY AND NUMERACY SKILLS OF STUDENTS:AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Education

The major goal of this experimental study was to see how effective the modern teaching strategies in literacy- Phonemic Awareness Daily Routine, Read Aloud, Word Wall, and strategies in numeracy- Cooperative Learning, Manipulatives, Differentiated Instruction compared to Traditional Teaching Method in enhancing literacy and numeracy skills among grade one students at Upper and Lower Mabini Elementary School. Using the modified Mother Tongue & Mathematics learning materials & tools, control and experimental groups underwent pretests, then intervention employed in given span of time, afterwards posttests were given to determine the effectiveness of the said teacher’s strategies in developing the literacy and numeracy skills. The experimental group obtained the modern strategies while the control group obtained the traditional methods. Results stipulated a significant improvement in the experimental group's competency levels post-intervention, signifying the effectiveness of modern teaching strategies in developing literacy and numeracy skills of the first-graders. Moreover, both strategies in developing the literacy and numeracy skills showed effectiveness, but the said modern strategies in literacy and numeracy implied a nominally higher mean, showing its advantage. Thus, the outcome of this study recommends to utilize those strategies in teaching literacy and numeracy especially to the struggled learners. This finding suggests that in conducting a remediation to the learners, educators must explore strategies that are engaging to students rather than purely relying on teacher-centered methods. By incorporating these strategies, students can interact with their peers and make learning experiences meaningful and even fun.
