THE THREE-DAY SCHEDULE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 12 STEM STUDENTS OF PASIG CATHOLIC COLLEGE IN THE SCHOOL YEAR 2017-2018 AN ASSESSMENT

= Abstract = This thesis is an assessment of the three-day schedule and its relationship to the Grade 12 STEM students of Pasig Catholic College in the academic year 2017 – 2018. With the implementations of the Senior High School and the block schedule in the researchers’ school, the researchers felt the need to study the new phenomenon.

Surveys were randomly given to Grade 12 STEM students that asked their observations of the three-day schedule and how it influences their academic performance in the classroom with the consideration of the type of teaching method they would prefer to understand the lessons under the said schedule. Their grades from their previous school year for first quarter when they were under the traditional schedule and from this school year’s first quarter while they are under the three-day schedule were compared using Pearson’s level of correlation. Results of the study showed that the three-day schedule has a significant and positive relationship to the students’ academic performance.

The students’ grades have shown an increase of percentage in the level of advancement. Students under the schedule learn better when the teachers discuss the lesson and provide varying examples by relating directly to real world applications. However, it is to be noted that there is a need for further research on the topic as this study does not guarantee the success of the block schedule in the long term nor does the study take in the school’s contextual factors into account.
