Dyad Cooperative Learning Strategy in Enhancing Reading Comprehension

Romeo Penepona Jr.

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This quasi-experimental study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Dyad Cooperative Learning Strategy as a remedial tool for enhancing the reading comprehension skills of Grade 7 learners at Roberto H. Tirol High School (Concepcion National High School), Iloilo. Sixty students participated, with one group exposed to Dyad Cooperative Learning and the other to non-cooperative learning strategies. Pre-test and post-test data were collected using the standardized Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired and independent sample t-tests. Findings revealed a significant improvement in the reading comprehension scores of students under the Dyad strategy, while the control group exhibited no statistically significant gains. The study concludes that Dyad Cooperative Learning fosters peer interaction and collaborative understanding, effectively supporting reading comprehension development in remedial settings.
