INTRODUCTION
Context and Rationale
The focus of this action research will be on addressing learning gaps in Science of
Grade 8 students of Tayawan National High School for the school year 2022-2023.
Science is essential in many aspects of our lives. It affects the choices we make every
day. In education, science gives students the chance to understand how and why things work.
It arouses curiosity in students to assist them to comprehend and come up with questions
about the knowledge they have gathered. In addition, it improves students’ critical thinking
abilities as they are able to make connections between theory and practice. Furthermore, it is
an essential part of numerous industries, from high-tech to agricultural, and all in between.
(Ajay Singh, 2021)
When the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, it greatly impacted almost every aspect of our
lives including the education of the children. Science education and learning were affected in
a way that resulted in many teachers teaching less science, especially when teaching
remotely. Covering the entire curriculum was challenging, particularly the subject of working
scientifically. (Sarah Leonardi, et.al, 2021)
The pandemic has highlighted numerous shortcomings and injustices in our
educational systems, including broadband access and computers required for online
education, as well as the encouraging environment needed in learning up until the
misalignments of requirements and resources. Students with advantages due to social status,
and parental support, and who have the willingness and capability to learn might navigate
past the school doors to alternate learning opportunities for education. Those with less
favorable backgrounds frequently remained in the dark when their schools closed. (Andrea
Schliecher, 2002). With this, learning gaps were observed.

3
As in-person classes have been resumed, based on observations of the performances
and pieces of evidence from assessments, learning gaps, particularly in science were noticed.
Students can hardly connect their previous knowledge about a certain topic.
This action research used different interventions in line with the standards and
competencies of Science to address the learning gaps of the grade 8 students in the 3 rd quarter
of the school year 2022-2023.
Action Research Question

How can we address the learning gaps in Science of 15 identified Grade 8 students
during the Covid-19 in the third quarter of the school year 2022-2023?
Proposed Intervention Innovation Strategy

We will solve the problem of this study by reviewing pre-requisite topics or
competencies, conducting hands-on experiments, and other performance tasks related to the
performance standard of the curriculum to help fifteen identified Grade 8 students with
learning gaps in Science. The data that we will record includes the pretest, weekly
performance output based on rubrics, and post-test results.
Pre-Implementation:
 Identification of Small Group Participants. Fifteen students will be identified to
be part of the small group instruction.
 Focus Group Discussion. FGD between teachers and parents will be done to
validate the cause of why the students have learning gaps in Science.
 Securing Informed Consent. The participants and their parents will be informed
about the purpose of the study and will be asked to sign an informed consent.
 Development of Research Instruments. A 20-item pre-test anchored on the 3rd
quarter competencies will be formulated to determine the participants’ prior
knowledge.
4
 Development of Intervention Materials. 4 sets of activity sheets including
experiment procedures, and another performance task with rubrics will be
developed anchored on the competencies of the 3rd quarter. Video clips related to
the performance standard will also be used.
During Implementation:
 Orientation/Capacity building for Intervention Implementers. A science teacher will
be tasked to facilitate small-group instruction. They will be oriented on their roles and
tasks in every session of the intervention.
 Orientation of Research Participants and administration of pretest. The participants
will be oriented to the schedule and procedure of the small group instruction. They
will be required to take the pretest to determine their prior knowledge.
 Intervention (Small Group Instruction) Proper. This will be done in 4 sessions
through remedial classes every Friday with 2 hours duration from the 1 st week of
March until the 4th week of March of the 3rd quarter of the school year 2022-2023.
Session 1 will start with an experiment (Are the particles of matter moving? What is
between them?) then followed by a short discussion with the teacher with the aid of a
PowerPoint presentation as well as a video clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=SYu4Shci_3Q) anchored to the competency on properties of solids, liquids, and
gases based on the particle nature of matter. Afterward, students will be assessed. In
the second session, changes of matter will be discussed with a PowerPoint
presentation about phases of matter and an experiment entitled “Phase change:
physical and chemical changes,” then, students will be given an assessment. In the 3 rd
session, the theory of matter will be discussed using a video clip
(https://www.jove.com/science-education/11242/the-atomic-theory-of-matter) and a
PowerPoint presentation, then students will be given an individual activity and

5
assessment. In the 4th session, the teacher will review the students and give them their
performance task which will be the making of an atomic model, then the teacher will
administer the post-test.
 Weekly Assessment for data gathering and Administration of Post-test. The weekly
assessment will be conducted through a written test and post-test and will be given at
the end of the intervention.
Post-Implementation:
 Analysis of pre and post-test results and intervention transcripts. The results will be
analyzed if there is an improvement in the learning gaps from the pre-test to the post-
test.
 Result Presentation and Dissemination. The result of the study will be presented to
fellow teachers and researchers during the LAC session.

RESEARCH METHODS
This part of the paper discusses various methodologies that will be used in gathering
data and analysis which are relevant to the research. This includes the participants of the
study, data gathering method, data analysis plan, data collection method, and management.
Participants
This research will make use of a complete enumeration of all 15 Grade 8 students of
Tayawan National High School who have low scores in the pretest administered for the 3 rd
quarter in Science. Focused Group Discussion(FGD) will be done between the teacher and
the parents of the participants.
Data Gathering Method

This action research will use the pretest results conducted on the 15 identified Grade 8
students. A 20-item pretest anchored to the competencies of the 3 rd quarter is administered to
determine the prior knowledge of the participants in science. A parallel post-test will be given
to the participants after conducting the intervention.
Data Analysis
This study will use descriptive statistics such as mean score, standard deviation, and
mode of determining whether the learning gaps were addressed by showing improvements in
the student’s academic performances. All data will be treated through Microsoft Excel.
Ethical Consideration
The ethical considerations that were upheld during the conduct of this action research
are presented in this section. The participants will be given an informed consent form and
will be asked to voluntarily be involved in the study considering all their rights of withdrawal
and refusal. There will be no data which will exhibit participants’ direct identity such as
name, telephone numbers, address, area or national identification number.

7
Informed Consent
The respondents/participants will be made aware that their involvement in this study
is voluntary and that they were not required to do so should they believe against their interest.
Additionally, the participants will be made aware that the study was carried out solely for
academic purposes and that the information they provide will only be used for those
purposes.
Confidentiality Pledge
The researcher ensured that the information which will be collected about the
respondents'/participants' personal details would be kept confidential and would not, under
any circumstance, be made public. This can be guaranteed by the following activities: name
of the respondents will be replaced by codes, sheet containing the name of the respondents
will be removed and be kept or destroyed when no longer needed for the research, the
researchers will have the sole access to the code’s master list, and files containing research
data will be password protected and will be encrypted to keep the data safe.
