Table 1 presents the pre-test mean scores of the students exposed to open –
ended approach and non – open – ended approach. It shows that the pre-test mean
percentage score of students exposed to open – ended approach and non – open –
ended approach are 24.85% and 25.92%, respectively indicating “Did not Meet
Expectations”. This shows that the pretest scores of students exposed to open –
ended approach and non – open – ended approach failed to meet the standards set
by the Department of Education. This also implies that students in both groups were
comparable. They need to have a content based knowledge and a deeper
understanding of the lesson on the topics before receiving formal instructions
through open – ended approach.

Table 2 shows students’ post test results when exposed to open-ended

approach and non-open-ended approach. They have a mean percentage score of
80.23% indicating “Very Satisfactory” and 63.63% indicating “Fairly satisfactory”,
respectively.

Interestingly, there was an increase on students’ mean percentage score

(MPS) for both groups. For students exposed to open-ended approach, there were 9
(34.62%) who were “Outstanding”, 11 (42.31%) reached “Very Satisfactory”, 1
(3.85%) reached “Satisfactory”, 2 (7.69%) students got “Fairly Satisfactory” and there
were 3 (11.54%) students who did not reach the 75% which means “Did not Meet
Expectations”. The posttest overall mean percentage score (MPS) is 80.23% which
indicates “Very Satisfactory”. This means that there was an increase on students’
academic achievement after exposure to the strategy used.
On the other hand, there was also an increase on the mean percentage score
of students exposed to non-context based approach. There were 1 (3.70%) student
who achieved “Outstanding”, 4 (14.81%) students were “Very Satisfactory”, 8
(29.63%) students were “Satisfactory”, 4 (14.81%) students got “Fairly Satisfactory”
and 10 (37.04%) did not reached 75% which means “Did not Meet Expectations”.
The post-test overall mean percentage score (MPS) is 63.63% which indicates
“Fairly Satisfactory”.
