Effectiveness of Quiz, Quiz, Trade Incorporating Hugot and Pop Rock Songs in Enhancing Students’ Performance in Earth Science

Abstract

This descriptive study utilizing the pretest-posttest control group design investigated the effectiveness of Quiz, Quiz, Trade incorporating Hugot and Pop Rock Songs (QQTIHPRS) in enhancing students’ performance in Earth Science. This was done during the First Quarter of School Year 2022-2023 to the 81 Grade 10 students of Sarrat National High School. 35-item researchers-made test (pretest and posttest) and a motivation checklist were used to gather data. Teaching using traditional lecture-discussion methods was done in both groups but with the addition of QQTIHPRS in the experimental group. Students’ pretest and posttest scores were analyzed using frequency distribution and percentage. The t-test was used to find out if there exists significant difference between the students’ mean scores in the pretest, posttest, and pretest and posttest in both experimental and control groups. The mean was used to analyze data from the students’ motivation checklist. Results showed that both groups have gained significantly higher scores in the posttest than in the pretest. However, the posttest mean score of the experimental group is significantly higher than that of the control group. This implies that the students in the experimental group performed better than those in the control group. It was also found that when QQTIHPRS were utilized in teaching Earth Science, students were actively involved; excited and thrilled; motivated to work, shared their ideas, and established camaraderie and teamwork. These findings show that the use of QQTIHPRS in addition to the usual lecture-discussion method enhanced the performance of students in Earth Science.
