Jenny Lou Calim

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study is limited to the development and evaluation of reading competency enhancement material using metacognitive approach for grade 7 students. The data gathering instruments used were a researcher-made diagnostic test in determining the ten (10) least mastered competencies which served as topics to be included for the development of the reading competency enhancement material and an evaluation questionnaire which has six criteria namely; authenticity, clarity, clarity, comprehensibility, meaningfulness and usefulness. For the readability of the literary texts adopted in the reading material, SMOG Readability Formula was used. To determine the reading least mastered competencies as topics for the reading competency enhancement material, frequency, percentage and ranking were used; to determine the evaluations of the respondents, weighted mean was utilized; and to determine the difference between the evaluations of the respondents, the student's t test was used. The salient findings of the study are as follows: The developed reading competency enhancement material for grade 7 students was very acceptable for the junior high school English teachers and expert-respondent. Based on the findings, the following conclusions are drawn: The developed reading competency enhancement material using metacognitive approach is valid for the respondents and is suited to the readability level of the grade 7 students.
