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.
