SAFEST (Simplified Activities through Fun Exploration in Science Teaching and Learning) and the Performance in Determining the Effects of Changing Components in a Circuit among Grade 5 Pupils
Roma L. Gabriel, Master Teacher I, Dabubu Grande Elementary School
ABSTRACT
Teaching and learning strategies using hands-on activities in science classrooms play an important role in the educative process, especially in addressing pupils' learning gaps. Understanding the concept of electric circuits is one of the learning competencies in Science Grade 5, where pupils manifested low levels of performance. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of SAFEST (Simplified Activities through Fun Exploration in Science Teaching and Learning) in addressing the said concept. One Group Pretest Posttest Research Design was used with 21 grade 5 pupils as respondents employing the universal technique. Using the mean, standard deviation, and sample paired t-test, it revealed that their performance in determining the effects of changing the number of components in a circuit significantly improved from fair to very satisfactory using the intervention as it displayed significant difference and large effect size in the performance of the respondents in determining the effects of changing component in a circuit. It is then recommended that this intervention is effective based on the result of the study. Moreover, it should also be enhanced and shared with other teachers during SLAC sessions.
