Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of activity-based learning on students performance at Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School for the School Year 2022-2023. With Grade 10 Junior High School students (n=60), the researcher used the purposive sampling technique and a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest and posttest. A validated and reliability-tested multiple choice test questionnaire was the primary data instrument. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted using an inferential statistical method such as mean, standard deviation, p-value and T-test. The study revealed that students performance of the experimental group who participated in activity-based learning were found to be Highly Proficient, and their mean increase was high. As a result, all students found activity-based learning to be beneficial in both the teaching and learning processes. The majority of the students in the control group, who were taught using the traditional method, performed Nearly Proficient on the posttest and got an increased Mean in the posttest. Also, both in the Control and Experimental groups, the results indicate a significant difference between the students performance on the pretest and posttest. Finally, the findings derived an intervention on the “Activity-Based Learning Intervention Plan” utilizing activity-based learning as the core activity in the delivery of the lessons.
