Game-based lessons in teaching science and health V
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2011-03) Macaraeg, Mitzy M.
Observing children at play, the researcher sees excitement, involvement, and concentration. The researcher then thought: “How can teachers raise the pupils’ level of performance in Science and Health with this level of enthusiasm of pupils in playing games?” This study developed and validated Game-Based Lessons (GBLs) in teaching Science and Health V using research and development method, descriptive method using survey, and experimental method using one-shot case study design, and four sets of questionnaire/checklist as instruments. The GBLs were then implemented to 41 Grade V pupils of PSU KD-Elementary Laboratory School. Results show that all pupils who were exposed to GBLs passed the Science and Health quizzes and a very satisfactory performance was gained. The findings imply that GBLs can be used by teachers as instructional materials to improve the performance of their pupils in Science and Health. Teachers are then highly encouraged to use games in teaching whenever possible.
