I.INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE
Mathematics is a cradle of all creations. Without mathematics the world

cannot do its stupendous act, the world cannot move an inch. Be it a carpenter,

a doctor, a teacher, an engineer, a chef, a scientist a musician, a scientist, a

magician, a mechanic, a businessman, teacher and so on. Without

Mathematics, we cannot do our everyday living perfectly.

I.INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE
Maasin National High School teachers are currently facing a significant problem in the retention of

students learning specifically in Mathematics.

Teachers complain on students’ difficulty to retain, recall and apply problem solving the topics taught

in the classroom which include formula and other concepts leading to students’ poor academic performance.
 I.INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE

To solve the problem, Maasin National High School Teachers’ composed song aided

instruction in selected topics in General Mathematics as a strategy in students’ learning and

retention is hereby conducted.

This action research sought to answer the question: Would using music improve math skill

and acquisition retention?

RESEARCH PARADIGM
 Statement of the problem
This study entitled “Teacher Composed song-aided Instruction in General Mathematics: A strategic

tool to increase Senior High School Students’ Retention intends to determine the effectiveness of song

activities in memorizing General Mathematics rules and formula for students’ learning and retention.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the general mathematics skills level of the control and

experimental group in terms of:

a. Pre-test

b. Post-test

c. Delayed Post-test
 Statement of the problem

2. Is there a significant difference between the pre-test scores of the

control and the experimental group?

3. Is there a significant difference between the post-test scores of

the control and the experimental group?

 PLAN FOR DATA ANALYSIS

The scores of pretest and delayed posttest will

be taken separately and the data will be encoded,

tallied and statistically treated independently.

The data will be analyzed through mean,

standard deviation and t-test.

 PLAN FOR dissemination

The researchers will present during in-service training within the school, district, or even in the division level so that

the researchers can share to other teachers’ who are currently working on the same field of study.

Social Media such as Facebook and blogs can also be channel for sharing of findings of the research. Here, the

researchers will post or blog the presentation that will showcase the special features of an action research research.
