Elementary Grade Level Performance Standard in Science and Student Academic Performance Towards A Developed Innovative Teaching Plan

Abstract

This study sought to determine the significant relationship between students’ performance in science and in LAMP (Learning Assurance for Monitoring and Progress) of the Grade VI pupils and the problems encountered by the science teachers in meeting the grade level required in the curriculum guide
The mixed method was employed in this study. Mixed methods research
requires a purposeful mixing of methods in data collection, data analysis and interpretation of the evidence. Mixed method is a research approach whereby researchers collect and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data within the same study.

The result of the study revealed that the Science teachers’ best practices are the following posting video lessons and PowerPoint presentations used in Google Classroom weekly, utilizing interactive apps to measure students’ performance standards, conducting experiments synchronously, and recording a voice lesson during asynchronous classes. These best practices were used by Grade 6 Science teachers in meeting the standard requirement stipulated in the curriculum guide.
Most of the teachers emphasized that they centered maximizing the
utilization of technology and coping with the demands of teaching under the new normal with the use of Kahoot, Quizziz, powerpoint presentation, voice recording and classpoint. These approaches motivated learners to attend to their classes while having fun exploring the different features of the app.
