2. INTRODUCTION/RATIONALE
 Filipino learners ranked second lowest in Mathematics and Science
and lowest in reading comprehension.
 Mother Tongue Based Language Education was implemented in the
basic education system of the Philippines.
 Incorporating Mother Tongue in teaching Mathematics revealed a
strong positive correlation between the achievement in Mathematics
and proficiency in Mother Tongue.
 Using Mother Tongue based instruction in teaching and learning has
a substantial increase in the performance of learners.

3. LITERATURE REVIEW
Mother Tongue Based Language
Education was implemented in basic
education system of the Philippines as a
result of the positive effect of
multilingualism among the learners
(Besa, 2013)

4. LITERATURE REVIEW
Incorporating Mother Tongue in
teaching Mathematics revealed a strong
positive correlation between the
achievement in Mathematics and
proficiency in Mother Tongue (Perez &
Alieto, 2018).

5. LITERATURE REVIEW
Englis et al. (2021) revealed the
implementation of Mother-Tongued
Based Instruction has a substantial
increase in the performance of learners.

6. LITERATURE REVIEW
According to the study of Obod, et al,
that the use of Mother Tongue
Language in teaching concepts of
fractions is more effective than the Non-
Mother Tongue Language.

7. RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. What is the pretest and posttest
scores of the grade six learners in
Mathematics?
2. Is there a significant difference in
the pre-test and post-test scores of
learners in Mathematics?

8. SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This study will be conducted to the forty-four (44)
Grade Six learners of Servillano G. Reuyan
Memorial Elementary School, school year 2021-
2022 who will represent the population. The study
will be done through the use of a Visayan
instruction hand-outs in Mathematics, specifically
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
of fractions.

9. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Sampling
The study involves the forty-four (44) Grade six pupils
under the researcher’s class in Servillano G. Reuyan
Memorial Elementary School, South I District, Division
of Iligan City during the SY 2021-2022. The total number
of learners in the class was chosen as participants using
the purposive sampling method.

10. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Data Collection
Fifty-item multiple-choice teacher-made tests will be
prepared based on the Most Essential Learning
Competencies (MELCs) focusing on the four
fundamental operations on Fractions using the skills
taken from the first grading period. Pretest will be
administered to all learners.

11. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Data Collection
They will be given the pretest before giving the hand-
outs in Visayan dialect. The forty-four (44) learners will
be given the hand-outs on the addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division of fractions. They will be
given four days to study and understand the concept of
the four operations on Fractions. After the delivery of
the lesson, a posttest was given to the respondents.

12. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Plan for Data Analysis
The following statistical tools will be used in analyzing
the data
1. Frequency count and percentage and mean were
used in determining the pre and post-test scores of
learners.
2. T-Test was used in determining the significant
difference in the pre and post-test scores of learners in
Math 6

14. COST ESTIMATES

15. PLANS FOR DISSEMINATION AND ADVOCACY
Teachers in the 11 schools of the district will be
furnished of the copy of LAC Session Design
Each school in the district will be given a copy of the
LAC Session Matrix or Design which includes the critical
research skills to be discussed by the speaker. The
district may now implement the LAC Session Matrix or
Design depending on the availability of the school head
and their resources speaker.

16. PLANS FOR DISSEMINATION AND ADVOCACY
Presentation in DepEd Recognized and Organized Research
Congress or Conference
To present results, recommendations and conclusion of
this study, this research will be presented in the available
research congress or conference recognized or organized by
either the District, Division, Regional or Central Office. This
will also be done for other districts and schools may learn
from it and replicate the study in their respective stations.
