ABSTRACT
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The researcher would like to give due acknowledgement to a number of individuals who
have shown their support on the conduct and completion of this paper.
To my adviser, Mr. ________________, thank you for the untiring mentorship and guidance
on the formation and implementation of this research,
To my fellow school teachers, much appreciation goes out for sharing your knowledge and
resources, and full cooperation.
To our School Principal, Mr. _____________, my sincerest gratitude for your utmost support
and words of encouragement towards the overall conduct of this study.
The current emergency health crisis across the globe brought about by the Covid -19
pandemic has greatly affected the world’s economies and the educational sector was no exemption.
The national government and the educational sector have worked collectively in initiating measures
to ensure uninterrupted delivery of educational programs and instruction amidst the pandemic to
guarantee that no learner will be left behind and in adherence to the Education for All (EFA)
To ensure that no learner will be left behind, ‘Integrative Assessment Intervention Program’
was developed as one of the ‘Alternative D elivery Mode’ (ADM) innovations to address cases of
students dropping out from schools. ADMs are innovations geared to make the school system an
all-encompassing and flexible space for all learners, especially for those who are at risk of dropping
out, residing in far-flung areas, students in overfilled learning spaces, or having difficulty coping with
The Department of Education (DepEd) devised the term ‘Student -At-Risk of Dropping Out’ or
commonly known as SARDO, which pertains to a student who is likely to become drop out from
school. The Integrative Assessment Intervention Program is carried out through a collaborative
effort and active engagement between and among teachers, students, and parents. Thorough
assessment related to cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of students can be provided
this integrated assessment are accrued into the final grade of students’ report.
In the light of the foregoing discussion, the researcher was prompted to undertake a study
pertinent to the performance improvement of Students at risk of Dropping Out (SARDO) through the
use of Integrative Assessment (F2F) Intervention Program among Grade 10 students at Ramon

The findings of this study have had ascertained that the facilitation of 'Integrative
Assessment Intervention Program' among Students At Risk of Dropping Out (SARDO) has
significantly yielded positive results evident with the number of students obtaining a passing grade
and a significant reduction of students falling under the lowest average range. Ergo, the optimization
of 'Integrative Assessment Intervention Program' was believed to be a viable tool towards the
attainment of a desirable level of students' academic performance and is bound to have significant
With the interviews conducted by the researcher, it was found out t hat the school teachers
were provided by the school with a laptop, complete with installed office tools and educational
software which are primarily utilized for instructional purposes and assessment of student learning.
It is desirable to note that virtual and onsite trainings with focus on recent trends in teaching style,
modality and digital literacy be continuously provided by the school to ensure that school teachers
The researcher is certain that this study will encourage more school teach ers to explore the
assessment. This will allow school teachers meticulously monitor students particularly those who
are at risk of failing in academic subjects or dropping out of school. In another note, students will
also be provided with enriched teaching -learning environment with the use of alternative modes of
classroom instruction infused with relevant teaching pedagogies which can significantly impact their
learning experiences.
