The researchers implemented the intervention five days. Grade 10 Section Falcata is an

afternoon class their scheduled time starts at 2:00pm to 3:00pm. Before the class starts

the researchers imposed the house rules which are the LRP (Listen, Respect,

Participate) but the rules seemed to be not enough to discipline the students (Jordahl,

2014). The researchers decided to make an intervention that will diminish their

misbehavior. The class were informed that they will be grouped into six and will be

given a task. Each group must monitor the other groups and write their observations in

a ¼ sheet of paper by giving deduction points to the group who misbehaves. After the

class session, each group must submit their observation to the teacher to be realized.

How did the deduction of points implemented?

The researchers informed the students about the new rule to be implemented on

the first day of implementation. The rule implemented was to deduct points on the

students who misbehave. First, the students are grouped into five groups, these groups

is permanent for the Mathematics class where the researcher is the teacher. These

groups have the same number of members and they seated to their designated groups.

Each group must prepare a ¼ sheet of paper and they will state their group number

above portion of the paper with the date at the right corner. On the body of the paper,

the other group numbers will be presented. The researchers told the students that if the

members of each group sleeps, talking with his/her seatmate that is not connected to

the lesson, and using of cell phones they will put a point on the designated group who

commit the mentioned misbehaviors. Since each member of the group are accountable

to each other, every member of the group has the right to tap their member who

misbehaves so that they will not be given deduction points. The students may deduct

points to the group when its member displays the kind of misbehavior stated above for

60 seconds. As the teacher enters the room, the rule implemented was effective and the

sheet of paper will be collected right after the session. The points gathered will be
deducted to each member’s participation points. The sample sheet of paper is shown

below:
