Abstract:

This research is a mixed-method sequential explanatory study which aimed to determine the effectiveness of Brigada Pagbasa in improving the reading comprehension of junior high school students at Gumaca National High School. The primary data were collected through adapted reading test tools and in-depth interview. The first phase described the important numerical data through the use of tables, while the second phase transcribed and analysed the data according to the research purpose. The level of the reading comprehension of the respondents was statistically treated using the Phil-IRI’s profiling formula and T-test to ascertain the effectiveness of PB. Thematic Analysis and Glaser’s Coding Technique were then applied to identify recurring themes, codes and patterns of meaning of the feedbacks. This study found out that the post-test results of Filipino and English were significantly better than the pre-test. The number of learners under the levels of frustration (kabiguan) and instructional (instruksyunal) decreased, whereas the number of learners under the level of independent (malaya) increased. The p-value of all the grade levels was 0.000 with a verbal interpretation of “significant” and rejected the null hypothesis of the study. Therefore, Brigada Pagbasa is effective in improving the reading comprehension of the learners. Thus, stakeholder’s participation, funding support, and reading materials and resources can affect the implementation of the program as backed by the statements of the language teachers in the interview. Based on the findings and feedback, additive features were formed to solve the challenges while the program was being carried out.
