Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of “MasterRadio” as a tool in increasing the proficiency level on basic operations among grade three pupils of J.M. Reliquias Elementary School in the District of Hinoba-an 1, for School Year 2022-2023. The researcher used a combination of single-subject experimental research design. It utilized weighted mean and mean percentage score in its treatment and computation of statistical data. Pre- and postassessment scheme were also employed. The researcher made use of the Enhanced Regional Unified Numeracy Test (E-RUNT), as a standardized tool to determine the proficiency level of the pupils. The following were the salient findings of the study: 1) the Grade III pre-assessment results revealed “Nearly Proficient” with an MPS of 67.9; 2) after the 10-week implementation of the intervention MasteRadio, the post- assessment results yielded an MPS of 91.88 or “Highly Proficient”; 3) an increase of 23.98 in the post-assessment strongly indicated that the intervention “MasteRadio” was effective in increasing the grade III learners’ numeracy skill; 4) as to the remarkable experiences during and after the implementation of the “MasteRadio”, pupils found this intervention as an enjoyable activity in mastering basic operations; and 5) parents, were able to become motivated in facilitating and supervising their children in their learning. Thus, enabling them to realize the significant role they play in their children’s education and future.
