Abstract:

This action research was made to utilize the TRIO GC for tracking the students’ performance in Mathematics 8. This was conducted on 120 students from selected Grade 8 students with difficulties in performing well in class. To assess students’ mathematical performance, the researchers got the mean grade of the first semester and correlated it to the second semester after giving intervention. The researchers used a mixed-method research design. Both parents and students answered the questionnaires using the Likert scale. An interview was also conducted with the students for triangulation. The result showed that the respondents demonstrated significant growth in their mathematical performance after using the TRIO GC from a mean of 81% in the first semester to 85% in the second semester. This was proven by getting the significance using t-test correlation-dependent samples where the computed T value of 10.244 was greater than the tabular T value of 1.98 two-tailed at 0.05 level of significance. The computed value is outside the acceptance area so the null hypothesis is rejected, which means that there is a significant difference after the treatment. Thus, the result was further supported by the follow-up interview to the students about the survey questionnaire wherein they cited commendable remarks on their experiences while using TRIO GC.
