3. THE PROBLEM
With the continuous aim of the Department of
Education to strengthen the foundational, social, and
other relevant skills necessary to actualize the intent
of the basic education curriculum, DepEd come up
with an initiative to address these learning gaps – the
launching of the Catch-up Fridays.

4. THE PROBLEM
PISA (2019) emphasizes the urgency of
improving the quality of basic education in the
Philippines. For it revealed that the Philippines
scored 353 in Mathematics, 357 in Science, and
340 in Reading, all above the average of
participating OECD countries.

5. THE PROBLEM
Moreover, the need to intensify the Values,
Health, and Peace Education also remains a
priority in compliance with the Republic Act
No. 11476 also known as the Good Manners
and Right Conduct.

6. THE PROBLEM
PISA (2020) also highlighted the urgency of Peace
Education which revealed that bullying remains a
pervasive problem in public schools and the need for
Filipino learners as a global citizen to acquire and
strengthen peace competencies allowing them to
become peacebuilders and advocates in their
respective communities.

7. THE PROBLEM
However, the researcher noticed that in Peace Education,
there are no modules and activity sheets given and only
general topics covered for a specific week are available.
Hence, this prompted the researcher to pursue this study to
develop relevant and timely modules incorporating the
necessary topics presented on the Peace Education
framework during Catch-up Fridays.

transforms students into a dynamic life-long learners
and values-centered, productive and responsible
citizens (DepEd ICT4E Strategic Plan, 2008)

19. THE PROBLEM
Hence, digital technology is a continuous process that gives
positive effects within the school and to the teaching-
learning process. This is supported by the statement of T.
Eng, (2020) which states that there is a positive effect
between technology use and students’ learning. It also
emphasized that access to electronic-based materials and
simulations enhances the learning process of learners.

20. THE PROBLEM
Meanwhile, the researcher noticed that the Grade
three learners have shown a poor performance in the
subject science. And with this in mind, and with the
mentioned positive results of several researchers, the
researcher decided to craft a Mother-Tongue based
Electronic Material in Teaching Science among
Grade Three.

21. RESEARCH PROBLEM
The study aimed to develop Mother-Tongue Based Electronic
Material in Teaching Science among Grade 3.

Master of Arts in Education – ECE

31. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Mathematics as a human activity arises from experiences
and becomes an integral part of the culture and society.
Every person must have complete awareness of numbers
and should have sufficient knowledge on basic numeracy
skills such as counting, sorting, comparing, adding,
subtracting, dividing and the like. These are the non-
intricate skills that should be learned from the first ladder
of education termed, preschool.

32. This research emphasizes the importance of
Manipulatives in connection with writing numbers.
Thus, it is believed that children prefer to work on
things than to sit and listen attentively to the teacher.
Learning will have a greater impact if the pupils are
given the chance to work with their own hands or by
experience
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

33. This is congruent with the idea of Education Professor Dr.
Jean Shaw (2015) who stated that Manipulatives are
effective for the following reasons: they are multisensory,
they represent ideas in more than one way, they promote
communication among students, and they increase
confidence, leading to lessened confusion and deepened
understanding.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

34. THE PROBLEM
Moreover, the researcher found out that a number of Day
Care pupils of the Child Development Center of Vigan
have not yet started learning about writing numbers. With
this in mind, the researcher came up with a plan to conduct
a study on the said matter to test the effectiveness of
Manipulatives in teaching the pupils without prior
knowledge about the lesson.

35. THE PROBLEM
Thus, by using Manipulatives as the onset for
change and innovation, it is hoped that it will
improve the learning process, contribute new way of
teaching numbers and its effectiveness as a strategy
will also be determined.

36. RESEARCH PROBLEM
The study focuses in determining the effectiveness of
Manipulatives in the Writing ability of the Day Care pupils of
the Vigan Child Development Center.
Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions.
1.What is the ability of the Day Care pupils in writing
numbers before and after the integration of Manipulatives
as a strategy?

37. RESEARCH PROBLEM
2. Is there a significant difference in the
writing ability of the Day Care pupils
before and after the integration of
Manipulatives as a strategy?

38. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
This action research determined the effectiveness of
Manipulatives in the writing ability of the the Day Care
pupils of Vigan Child Development Center during the
Third Grading Period, School Year. The researcher will
use rubrics in determining the writing ability of the
pupils. The said rubrics will be validated by
knowledgeable persons along the field.

39. ASSUMPTIONS
In the conduct of this study, the researchers will
be guided by the following assumptions:
1.The research instrument used in the study is
valid and reliable.
2.The pupils’ responses in the instrument indicate
their ability in using Manipulatives.
