Raina Tamba | Vicente Garces Jr

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study determined the effectiveness of Marungko Approach in teaching reading to grade two non-reader pupils of Datu Dumagkal Danial Elementary School, Katangawan District, General Santos City. It used an experimental design, specifically with-in group design where the same participants take part in each condition to determine the effectiveness of Marungko Approach. The researcher prepared self-made reading materials to be tested adopting the marungko approach in teaching reading. The reading materials were submitted for validation to its efficacy and its authenticity by the expert validators. Findings of the study revealed that majority of the grade 2 non-readers had very low scores during the pre-test and obtained high scores during the post-test after utilizing the Marungko approach. The results of the study showed that the use of Marungko approach in teaching reading was effective for grade 2 non-reader pupils. Furthermore, the result of the study could be the basis and reference for future research studies and would give confidence to expand understanding in the field of education and the advancement of the research process.
