Method

3.1 Respondents

The present study was conducted in a private school in Davao City, Philippines.
The sample consisted of 75 Grade 11 students of the Senior High School.

3.2 Procedures

The study was conducted through action research, specifically, the one-group
pretest-posttest research design. The research instrument was a multiple-choice pretest
and posttest questionnaire comprising six subtests for each indicator. The goal of the
pretest questionnaire was to gather information about the students' Reading
Comprehension Skills, while the posttest intended to confirm whether using the Small
Group Rotation Method in the classroom effectively improved the students' Reading
Comprehension Skills. Before administering the pretest, a pilot test was conducted on
15 students with the same characteristics as the respondents to ensure the instrument's
reliability. The pilot test resulted in a highly reliable test. The pretest was administered to
the respondents a week before the experimentation. The Small Group Rotation Method
was implemented in the Literature classes of the respondents within four weeks. After
the experiment, the posttest was given to the respondents. The researchers asked for
the respondents' consent before utilizing their pretest and posttest data.
