PARTICIPANTS

The study focused on Grade 11 students at St. Lorenzo Ruiz of FASDS school. A total of 22
students participated. Personal information provided by the students was solely used for
categorization purposes and was not disclosed in the presentation of results.

RESEARCH PROCEDURES

Each student experienced both study methods: pretesting and rereading. The researchers assigned
participant numbers to anonymize data. Participants were tested on the same statistics and
probability topic on both days, but with different assessment questions.

FLOW OF ACTIVITIES DURING DATA COLLECTION

The data collection process involved several steps, as depicted in the following flowchart:

1. Discussion of the study method: Researchers explained the study methods to the
students.
2. Discussion of the Statistics topic by the teacher: The Statistics teacher provided
instruction on the topic.
3. Timed study time for students: Students were given time to study using the assigned
method for the day.
4. Conduction of assessment or test: Students took assessments based on the Statistics
topic studied.
5. Passing of assessments to the teacher: Students submitted their assessments to the
Statistics teacher.
6. Checking of assessments by the teacher: The teacher reviewed and checked the
assessments.
7. Gathering and analysis of test scores: The researchers compiled and analyzed the test
scores.

This process was repeated twice, with "Day 1" utilizing the pretesting study method and "Day 2"
utilizing the rereading study method. Despite focusing on the same topic, different assessment
questions were used each day to ensure unbiased results.
 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In this chapter, a comprehensive overview of the research techniques employed in the

study is presented. This encompasses details about the study's participants such as their

demographics and categorization process. Additionally, it delves into the chosen research design

and justifies its selection. The methodologies applied for data collection are outlined, along with

a description of the instruments used. Furthermore, an explanation of how the collected data was

analyzed is provided by the researchers. The selection of this method is anticipated to generate

valuable insights through the collection and examination of data about the effectiveness of

pretesting versus rereading in statistics and probability tests. This study specifically focuses on

Grade 11 students at St. Lorenzo Ruiz of FASDS school as they take an assessment in Statistics

and Probability.

RESEARCH DESIGN

The researchers used the following methods or procedures from the research flow,

environment, participants, and research procedures. To add, the researchers used the quantitative

method through means of using assessments or tests that the students will take and answer to

assess the effectiveness of each study method.

The quantitative experimental design is used here because it allows researchers to gain

more understanding and get more generalizability to reach more conclusiveness with the data

gathered due to the random assignment of participants that the quantitative experimental design

uses. This will help the data to be more valid and applicable to most students, this is in

consideration that the research did not look into the individual differences between each student.
 Testing or the use of assessments is used here to determine the effectiveness of the

following study methods through means of statistically analyzing side-by-side the test scores

generated per group performance, such as “Day 1” performance [Doing the pre-testing study

method] and “Day 2” performance [Doing the rereading study method]. Assessments or

conducting a test, after the given study time of the students, are used here as a method to gather

the needed data.

To add, the personal information provided by the students, in which there are 22 students

who participated, as they take the tests are only used for categorization purposes and are not

disclosed as the researchers are to present the data after acquisition of the test/assessments that

are already checked by the Statistics teacher of the classroom.

Each student used both study methods during the day that it was assigned to them. The

way that the researchers categorized the test scores is that the student, with their name, that took

both study methods and the assessments given by the Statistics teacher is assigned a participant

number, participant #1 as an example. Then, the researchers compare the scores amassed by the

student with the assigned study method of day one with the score and assigned study method of

the student of day two.

The data collected from assessments or tests, that is prepared by the researchers with the

help of the Statistics teacher, will be compiled and analyzed.

The following flow chart represents the “Flow of Activities During Data Collection” and

is divided into several moving parts which are: (1) Discussion of the study method to the

students, (2) Discussion of the teacher of a Statistics topic, (3) Timed study time for the students,

(4) Conduction of assessment or test about the Statistics topic, (5) Passing of assessments or tests
from students to the Statistics teacher, (6) Checking of the Statistics teacher of assessments, (7)

Gathering and analysis of test scores. This was done twice which equals day one and day two of

data collection. In which “Day 1” was assigned with the pretesting study method, while “Day 2”

was assigned with the rereading study method.

divided into several main phases: (I) Choosing of Research Area, (II) Conduction of “Activities

During Data Collection”, (III) Processing and analysis of data, (IV) Presentation of Results.
RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT

The study locale is in Formative Academic and Skills Development School, which is

located on the National Highway, Cotcot, Lilo-an, Cebu school year 2023-2024. Formative

Academic and Skills Development School offers pre-elementary, elementary, junior high

school, and senior high school education.

The school Formative Academic and Skills Development School was established in

April 2011, and the school was a non-sectarian private school which is located in Cebu,

Philippines, It has (3) campuses that are spread across the province of Cebu. While the main

campus, where the research is conducted, is located on National Highway, Cotcot, Lilo-an,

Cebu the 2nd campus is located in Baring, Carmen, Cebu the 3rd campus is located in Dapdap,

Catarman, Liloan, Philippines. On August 2022 the formative academic and skills development

school opened up for senior high school enrollment and these are the following strands

available, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), ABM (Accounting and

Business Management), HUMSS (Humanities and Social Sciences), TVL (Technical Vocational

Livelihood)-ICT, TVL (Technical Vocational Livelihood) -COMMERCIAL COOKING, AND

GAS (General Academic Strand).

The classroom where the data collection begins is in the St. Lorenzo Ruiz classroom in

which it is an air-conditioned room with a large space for students to move around while

studying and listening to the people upfront and enough space for the Statistics teacher and the

researchers to discuss upfront on the blackboard. All students who participated also have

enough seats for them to sit and stay for the class discussion.
PARTICIPANTS

A total of 22 students from Grade 11 St., Lorenzo Ruiz who were enrolled in the

Statistics & Probability subject were involved in the study. The students were informed of the

possible benefits of their cooperation in determining the best learning strategy. The 22 students

were chosen based on their attendance in the Statistics & Probability course, ensuring that they

were directly relevant to the study's goals.

The students who participated are randomly selected based on the quantitative

experimental design but are competent enough to answer the test and finish it on time for

passing of it towards the Statistics teacher for checking. In which the Statistics teacher checked

it and summarized the scores for the researchers to collect and analyze to present various

findings and conclusions later on.

INSTRUMENTS

This study used statistical analysis and test scores. These are used to study the Grade 11

St-Lorenzo Ruiz students in Formative Academic and Skills Development School about the

Efficacy of Pretesting vs. Rereading in Statistics and Probability Tests. The gathering of data

uses statistical analysis and test scores in which these involve a systematic process of collecting,

organizing, analyzing, and interpreting numerical information to draw meaningful conclusions

and make informed decisions. The respondents will answer these through means of taking the

assessment test on statistics set by the teacher and based on their performance, it is where the
researchers will base their data and analysis of the effectiveness of the respective study method.

To obtain the required data, researchers will seek guidance from the Statistics teacher to

develop the assessment/test that is relevant to their discussed topic. The primary data to be

collected will comprise the performance scores that are obtained by the students upon

completing the assessments.

Prior to commencing the research, students will receive a consent form to assess their

willingness to participate. This form will furnish details regarding the study's objectives,

methods, potential advantages and drawbacks, confidentiality protocols, and the voluntary

aspect of involvement. Students will have the chance to review this information and make a

decision on participation by granting their consent.

RESEARCH PROCEDURES

This research’s goal is to collect data, which is test scores, from the students of Grade 11

of Formative Academic and Skills Development School. So that conclusions can be made with

regards to the effectiveness of each study method [Pretesting for Group 1 and Rereading for

Group 2] in the context of mathematical concepts specifically for Statistics and Probability

subjects.

Gathering of Data. Before the students are to participate in this study in which they will

be briefed of the study method, given discussion by the teacher, studying for the assessment,

taking the test, and passing it. They are given a consent form to inform them of their

participation in this study. Once the consent form has been confirmed that they can participate,
the conduction of the research or gathering of data begins in their classroom which is the

classroom of St. Lorenzo Ruiz of FASDS school. The researchers will gather data after the

“Flow of Activities During Data Collection” has been conducted, for the students’ performance

on the assessment given is where the researchers will gather data from and create conclusions.

This is the primary data that the researchers are looking for to determine the effectiveness of the

study method assigned to them in consideration that the researchers have briefed them about the

study method that they will do.

Data Analysis. The usage of statistical and analysis methods, through means of

comparing the scores generated, of the quantitative research design is used to analyze the test

results and compare the effectiveness of the study methods which are pretesting yourself versus

rereading notes.
