Discipline: social sciences (non-specific)

 

Abstract:

This study aimed to develop Personalized Learning Activities in Eng-lish for Grade 5 students among the eleven (11) public elementary schools in San Julian District and eight (8) public elementary schools in Sulat District, Division of Eastern Samar, Academic Year 2019-2020. The study utilized a descriptive research method with a survey questionnaire and proficiency test in English for Grade 5. Based on the results the public elementary schools in San Julian District and Sulat District, Division of Eastern Samar obtained a mean score that falls under the category “did not meet expectations” where all competencies obtained an overall mean score of 2.415 interpreted as “poorly developed”. Results implied that the Grade 5 students did not develop the skills and competencies they needed to improve in English com-petencies by the Grade 5 students. However, results implied that stu-dents have not mastered all the competencies in the subject and teachers are not acquainted with personalized learning activities as innovative materials in teaching. They relied on the use of textbooks, visual aids, and printed materials to teach English lessons. Teachers teaching English were not acquainted with the use of a personalized learning approach as a new strategy in teaching and never be used by the teacher, majority of the identified problems were considered as always problems by the Grade 5 teachers in teaching English. It is highly recommended an intervention material for pupils to develop mastery of the least learned competencies in English to achieve a higher academic performance level in the subject.
