ACTION RESEARCH PROPOSAL

TITLE: FACTORS AFEECTING THE PERFORMANCE OF GRADE _________________________

I. PROPONENT:

II. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

The National Achievement Test (NAT) is an examination given annually to assess the

competency of both public and private school students. The students’ knowledge and skills are tested in

the subjects of Mathematics, English, Science, Filipino, and HEKASI for grade school. The test is

administered by the Department of Education's National Education Testing and Research Center

(NETRC). The results are intended to guide the Department of Education in its efforts towards the

improvement of the quality of education in public schools and to provide appropriate intervention for

the students. A score of 75% and up indicates mastery of the subject and 50% to less than 75%, near

mastery; while a score of below 50% indicates low mastery.

The NAT results guide decision makers in formulating policies relative to progression and

promotion of students, especially in the public school system. These will also determine the deficiencies

of students that need further intervention.

III. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

This action research aimed to determine the Factors Related to pupils’ Performance in the

______________________________________

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

 1.1 age

1.2 gender

1.3 parents’ educational attainment

1.3.1 mother

1.3.2 father

1.4 monthly income of the family

1.5 average rating for the last school year attended?

2. What is the extent of the school climate conditions as perceived by student respondents in terms of:

2.1 school facilities

2.2 instructional focus

2.3 physical environment?

3. What is the level of performance of pupils in the National Achievement Test in Caima Elementary

School in:

3.1 English

3.2 Math

3.3 Science

3.4 AP

3.5 Filipino

4. Is there a significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and pupils’ achievement in

NAT in terms of:

4.1 age

4.2 gender

4.3 parents’ educational attainment

 4.3.1 mother

4.3.2 father

4.4 monthly income of the family

4.5 average rating for the last school year attended?

5. Is there a significant relationship between the school climate conditions and pupils’ performance in

NAT as perceived by the student’ respondents in terms of:

5.1 school facilities

5.2 instructional focus

5.3 Physical environment

6. Is there a significant difference in the school climate conditions as perceived by pupils respondents

in terms of:

6.1 school facilities

6.2 instructional focus

6.3 physical environments?

IV. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Findings of this study provided vital information regarding the factors affecting the pupils’ performance

in the National Achievement Test (NAT) in terms of students’ profile and school climate condition.

The findings of this study will benefit the following:

Superintendent. It may help the superintendent to identify the needs of the school and to plan

for the support system that the school leaders need to prioritize when it comes to students’

performance.

Principal. The result of this study may also serve as framework for various programs and

strategies to be employed on the school improvement planning. School climate condition assessment
may use as data inputs on the reality check matters of school academic performance. Thus, appropriate

programs and thrusts may be formulated and provided with appropriate budget for the improvement of

the students’ performance. It is also possible to have a rigid monitoring of monthly result of students’

mean percentage score (MPS) in their chapter test to be posted using graphical representation to easily

identify the competencies that needs enough attention in classroom instruction. With the help of

graphs, the principal can help and assist teachers in uplifting the performance of the students.

Teachers. The result of this finding is of value to teachers because it will provide an overview of

the needs analysis of the school. They may be guided from the level of assistance the school and the

principal may need and may help them to work cooperatively in order for them to attain success in the

national achievement test. By means of carefully recorded grades of the student, the teacher and

principal can work collaboratively to identify the competencies the students had mastered, not

mastered and needs mastery. With this, teachers can be guided to the lesson that he needs to give more

emphasis for students.

Pupils. The improvement of school climate condition will be beneficial for the pupils. A favorable

school climate condition may serve as pupils’ motivation in improving their academic performance. The

motivating factors that will start from the initiative of the school principal may help the pupils to be

more enthusiastic in learning process.

Future researchers. This study will help to encourage future researchers to conduct the most

vital part of the school progress in terms of academic. The study may propel them to go into related

area or they may study further school academic achievement for other perspective. This may also

provide data bases for further innovation of this research study.

V. SCOPE OF THE STUDY

 The result of this study will be limited on the perception of 25 pupils’ respondents of

VI. RESEARCH DESIGN

 Methodology

The researcher will use the descriptive-correlation method of research that

seeks the relationships which exist between different factors of pupils’ performance

in the national achievement test in _________________.

The researcher will apply also the comparative method of research that aims to

make comparisons among different variables in school climate conditions such as

physical facilities, instructional focus and physical environment.
