Pupils’ Academic Interest in English to The Modular Class Set-Up

Abstract

The key purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between pupils’ academic interest and their perception to the modular class set-up and to find out the effectiveness of modular approach towards pupils’ interest in order to assess their own learning, performance and achievement, in Anas Elementary School in the School Year 2021-2022. The study employed quantitative descriptive research and used self-administered survey questionnaire to collect data from the 29 respondents of Grade 6 pupils at Anas Elementary School. It aimed to accurately describe a research problem to identify the correlation between academic interest and the modular class set up. The questionnaire was composed of two parts. The first part was to determine the level of academic interests of Grade 6 pupils in terms of: social; emotional; physical and intellectual development. The second part contained the perception of the pupils about class set up which is categorized into: instructional materials; delivery of the topics; and teacher-pupil learning engagement. A five-point Likert’s Scale was used ranging from 5-Strongly Agree, 4- Agree, 3-Average, 2- Disagree, and 1- Strongly Disagree to determine the level of academic interest of Grade 6 pupils and their perception towards modular class set-up. The given questionnaire was validated and analyzed.  The weighted mean was used to determine the perception of the respondent’s academic interest and modular class set-up. To determine the relationship of the identified variables of the study, the data were objected to normality tests. The normality tests showed that the data are not normally distributed. The result of the study revealed that it’s insignificant and accept the null hypothesis. Therefore, there is no significant relationship between the academic interest of Grade 6 pupils and the modular class set up. And through this study, this may serve as a springboard for the future improvements of the schools' existing programs and guidelines on the implementation of modular distance learning.
