The Effectiveness of a Work-text in Logic for College Students
Keywords:
Effectiveness, learner's socio-cultural milieu, logic, work-textAbstract
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a work-text in Logic Descriptive and true-experimental research designs were used. The participants included the selected private colleges and university in CaLaBaRZon. The instruments included the achievement test, a work-text in Logic, and a survey questionnaire. The T-test for dependent and independent variables, weighted mean, standard deviation and percentage were used in treating the test results and assessments of the respondents. Based on the findings, the developed worktext is a valid instructional material providing student performance improvement from 58.01% (pretest score) to 94.07% (posttest score). Testing the effectiveness of the worktextrevealed a significant difference between the performances of the students. Students taught using the work-text had 91.27% performance compared to 79% performance of the students taught using the traditional method. It is recommended that faculty and students use this work-text to facilitate the teaching-learning process of Logic.
