ABSTRACT
Development of the LAS shall be based on the Most Essential Learning
Competencies (MELC) issued by the Central Office. As an evaluation instrument,
worksheets can be utilized by instructors to comprehend understudies' past
information, result of learning, and the way toward learning. Simultaneously, they
can be utilized to empower understudies to screen the advancement of their own
learning. But it is still not yet proven which is the main reason for conducting the
study.
Three types of instruments will be used to collect data. In the first step, an
academic interest survey will be filled by both groups of students to gather
information about what motivates students to learn. The next step, students will
be assessed by pre-test and post-test and for testing two achievement tests,
consisting of multiple type questions were developed. Expert opinion was taken
for the validity of the test. Effectiveness test will be done to know the
effectiveness of student worksheet in increasing student activity and result of
learning.
Keywords: learning activity sheets, effectiveness, critical thinking skills

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
“One of the most important aspects of technology in education is its ability
to level the field of opportunity for students.”
-John King, U.S. Secretary of Education
The 1987 Constitution provides in Article XIV, Section 1 that the “State
shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels,
and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.” This
right must be upheld at all times, and DepEd is duty-bound to provide learning
opportunities even in the time of the COVID-19 national emergency. Under
Republic Act (RA) No. 9155 or the
Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001, DepEd is “vested with
authority, accountability and responsibility for ensuring access to, promoting
equity in, and improving the quality of basic education.”
Relative to the implementation of new normal for the School Year 2020-
2021, the Department of Education Region 02 through the Curriculum and
Learning Management Division (CLMD) adopts the following guidelines in the
preparation of Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) waiting for the issuance of the
1
Province of Laguna
complete Alternative Delivery Modules (ADMs). The LAS shall be utilized by
learners during the home learning sessions (Cagayan Valley Regional
Memorandum No. 042, s2020). In the same way, it is also adapted by other
regions in the country.
Development of the LAS shall be based on the Most Essential Learning
Competencies (MELC) issued by the Central Office. Key stage 1 (Grades 1-3)
learning areas shall be prepared by their own respective SDOs based on their
MTB used as Methods of Teaching (MOT). Preparation of the Key Stage 2
(Grades 4-6), and Key Stage 3 (Junior HS) and Key Stage 4 (Senior HS) shall be
based on the agreed distribution per grade levels. Though LAS is new and not
completely understood, the teachers simultaneously continue training in
preparation for the new normal. Collaborative learning is foreseen to be critical in
the new normal.
The exercises are coordinated around a few perceived structure squares
of confidence: personality, having a place, reason and fitness. To influence
personality issues, exercises are intended to zero in on figuring out how to such
as oneself, distinguishing one's novel capacities, recognizing one's inclinations,
communicating imagination, and figuring out how to utilize positive self-talk.
Exercises dedicated to the having a place part of confidence center around
fellowship, relational correspondence, perceiving uniqueness and positive
2
Province of Laguna
characteristics in others, and building a genealogy and recognizing one's
underlying foundations (Palomares, 1991).
Nonetheless, students have shifted levels of legitimacy and
comprehension. So less commendable understudies probably won't plan for an
undertaking as others. This may prompt disappointment of destinations of the
entire interaction.
As an evaluation instrument, worksheets can be utilized by instructors to
comprehend understudies' past information, result of learning, and the way
toward learning. Simultaneously, they can be utilized to empower understudies to
screen the advancement of their own learning.
A few examinations have proposed different systems like the
Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) the exercise plan,
assessment sheets, and model-based e-learning were legitimate, down to earth
and compelling in expanding oneself directed learning of understudies.
Additionally, the legitimacy of the item was estimated utilizing a specialist
approval sheet, the common sense of the item was estimated utilizing an
instructor and understudy reaction poll, and the adequacy of the item was
estimated utilizing an understudy learning freedom survey. Similarly, this training
may likewise be applied to the ebb and flow exploration of recognizing viability of
learning movement sheets.
3
Province of Laguna
With the assistance of a powerful worksheet, understudies can figure out
how to certainly issue addresses freely. By and by, perhaps the best strength as
an understudy is having the option to perceive and adjust to a teacher's showing
style, which normally happens through the material the person distributes during
class.
There are learning activities required for the 21st century workforce such
as adaptability, complex communication skills, non-routine problem solving, self-
management, and systems-thinking are essential skills in the 21st-century
workforce.
Thus, different ways of applying the intellectual property law will be crucial
in ensuring that their creation, reproduction, distribution, and utilization will be in
accordance with law, including but not limited to RA 8293, otherwise known as
the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, as amended by RA 10372.
Budget of Work (BOW) is a resource material for teaching multi-grade
classes that contains K to 12 basic education curriculum competencies, skills,
and objectives; topics for specific skills and competencies; and teaching
strategies, activities, and time allotment arranged into columns for easy reference
and notation. It will serve as a teacher's reference in preparing daily and/or
weekly lesson plans.
Background of the Study
4
Province of Laguna
As a teacher in the new normal, the implementation of basic education
has been very crucial. It underwent a lot of questions on how it will be possible to
deliver basic education in the best possible way. As for the implementing rules
and regulations of the school’s learning continuity plan, the researcher became
curious on how modular learning will be possible through the use of Learning
Activity Sheets (LAS).
The adoption of the basic education Learning Continuity Plan for School
Year 2020-2021 in Light of the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency. As part of the
mechanism for readiness for school opening last August 24, 2020, a Learning
Resource and Platform Committee was hereby created to ensure that
appropriate learning resources of good quality are made available, and that the
necessary platforms or technologies (printed, digital online, offline, television and
radio) are engaged and made available in a timely efficient manner (DepEd
Order No. 012, s, 2020).
More importantly, BE-LCP also emphasizes that learning opportunities to
our students may be provided through blended distance learning modalities, until
any prohibitions by the DOH, the IATF, or the president for face-to-face learning
in schools/CLCs is lifted or relaxed. The order immediately took effect upon
publication. Learning opportunities shall be made available. field implementers
are encouraged to contextualize the MELCs in order to accommodate the varying
5
Province of Laguna
contexts of learners, teachers, learning environment, and support structures
considering both the content and performance standards.
Modular Distance Learning involves individualized instruction that allows
learners to use SLMs in print or digital format, whichever is applicable in the
context of the learner, and other learning resources like learner’s materials,
textbooks, activity sheets, study guides, and other study materials. Learners
access electronic copies of learning materials on a personal computer (PC),
tablet PC, or smartphone. CDs, DVDs, USB storage, and computer-based
applications can all be used to deliver e-learning materials, including offline
ebooks.
The teacher takes the responsibility of monitoring the progress of the
learners. The learners may ask assistance from the teacher via email, telephone,
text message/instant messaging, etc. Where possible, the teacher shall do home
visits to learners needing remediation or assistance. Any member of the family or
other stakeholders in the community need to serve as para-teachers. The
challenge will be in dealing with learners not capable of independent learning.
This is the subject of further discussion within DepEd, and with partners and
parents.

Theoretical Framework
Instructional written materials play important roles as teachers’ agents in
effective teaching practices (Lee, 2014). Quite possibly the most every now and
again utilized materials are worksheets. The examination intends to investigate
the connections between worksheet use and scholarly accomplishment. It will be
analyzed using TIMSS and PIRLS information and numerous relapse
investigations. Concerning the premises of the study, there are two
measurements. It has five kinds of connections among science accomplishment,
worksheet use, and other related factors. It will be the premise in strategy in this
exploratory investigation.
Activity Based Learning (ABL), which is defined as a learning process in
which students are constantly engaged (Panko et al., 2007 as cited in Anwer,
2019). Action based learning is the gauge for innovative and basic reasoning
abilities improvement. Notwithstanding, this strategy won't work as expected if
understudies are not spurred enough to accomplish their genuine potential. The
most valuable and compelling technique to instruct ideas that are mind boggling
in nature is by including understudies in intelligent exercises, which is likewise
the foundation of ABL. By using various exercises in the homeroom, basic
7
Province of Laguna
reasoning abilities and imaginative abilities of the understudies are likewise
improved.
An experimental study design will be utilized in this study consisted of an
experimental group and a controlled group. The experimental group received
treatment, while the control group received no treatment. Random assignment for
selection of subjects was considered and pre-test and post-test control group
design of experimental research was used for this study (Fraenkel & Wallen,
2012).

Three types of instruments will be used to collect data. In the first step, an
academic interest survey will be filled by both groups of students to gather
information about what motivates students to learn. The next step, students will
be assessed by pre-test and post-test and for testing two achievement tests,
consisting of multiple type questions were developed. Expert opinion was taken
for the validity of the test. Effectiveness test will be done to know the
effectiveness of student worksheet in increasing student activity and result of
learning. It is a written test specifically a pen and paper test. Learning outcomes
will also be obtained from the test scores after attending the lecture using
learning activity sheets in teaching Araling Panlipunan to grade eight (8)
students. Academic performance will be measured through comparative analysis
of test scores. A questionnaire will also be used to identify the critical thinking
skills of students that will improved after the use of learning activity sheets in
teaching Araling Panlipunan.
Statement of the Problem/Objective of the Study
9
Province of Laguna
The purpose of this study is to explore the association between worksheet
usage and achievement in grade eight (8) students in Sampaloc National High
School. To gain an overview of the association, the questions that arises are:
1. What is the academic interest of grade 8 students?
2. What is the effect of LAS on students’ academic achievement to the
students in education of grade eight (8) students?
3. Is there a significant difference on the effect of LAS in teaching
technique on students’ achievement according to the two groups of
respondents?
Hypothesis
There is no significant improvement on the academic performance of
Grade 8 students using Learning Activity Sheets as a learning tool.
Significance of the Study
The study focused on the effectiveness of learning activity sheets in
teaching araling panlipunan to grade eight (8) students. The result of the study
will be beneficial to the several stakeholders. Among the persons who were
directly or indirectly benefited the following:
10
Province of Laguna
This study will help determine the advantages and disadvantages of using
learning activity sheets to grade eight (8) students. Thus, it will identify other
notable factors in using LAS as in teaching Araling Panlipunan.
Additionally, to help in assessing weaknesses of students. It will help the
AP teacher in establishing the proper intervention on some difficulties
encountered by the students.
Improve effective teaching strategies through evaluating the whole
process of giving instruction. It will help the principal evaluate the methodologies
adopted by the school in terms of implementing modalities.
Enhance personal and professional traits of faculty by means of LAC
session. The result of the study can be echoed in a learning action cell to inform
the faculty about the findings of the study.
Lastly, this would also be beneficial to the future researcher who wishes
to pursue along this line if ever there will be an existing problem that will occur. In
case of a specific situation that is comparable to the overall study.
Scope and Limitation

This study is limited to the analysis of the relationship between the usage
of Learning Activity Sheets and academic performance of grade eight (8)
students. The content basically focuses on the two variables. A correlation is the
measurement of the relationship between two variables. In both types of
11
Province of Laguna
correlation, there is no evidence or proof that changes in one variable cause
changes in the other variable. A correlation simply indicates that there is a
relationship between the two variables (Cherry, 2020).
To identify effectiveness, there must be a comparison between the
controlled and uncontrolled group. In this case, the uncontrolled will be the not
using LAS in teaching Araling Panlipunan. On the other hand, the controlled
group is using LAS in teaching Araling Panlipunan. It can be measured using
pre-test and post-test.
The effectiveness will be analyzed using the agents in effective teaching
practices (Lee, 2014).
Definition of Term
The following are the definition of terms in the title, the statement of the
problem and other variables found in the study.
Activity Based Learning (ABL). Activity Based Learning (ABL),
which is defined as a learning process in which students are constantly
engaged (Panko et al., 2007 as cited in Anwer, 2019)
Araling Panlipunan. Araling Panlipunan (Makabayan, Social
Studies) is the learning area that lays most stress on the development of
social awareness, empathy and firm commitment to our common goal as a
nation. It entails the use of integrated units, which enable the individual to
12
Province of Laguna
personally process, assimilate and systematically practice a wide range of
values and life skills including work ethic.
Effectiveness. A measure of the extent to which a specific
intervention, procedure, regimen, or service, when deployed in the field in
routine circumstances, does what it is intended to do for a specified
population.
Learning Activity Sheets. Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) shall be
based on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) issued by
the Central Office.
Modular Distance Learning. Modular Distance Learning involves
individualized instruction that allows learners to use SLMs in print or digital
format, whichever is applicable in the context of the learner, and other
learning resources like learner’s materials, textbooks, activity sheets,
study guides, and other study materials.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Related Literature
A learner may adopt either Digital Modular Distance Iearning
(DMDL) or Printed Modular Distance learning (PMDL). Learners with
devices at home like laptop, desktop, or tablet, may adopt DMDL. The
SLMs in different digital formats such as flat PDF, education videos, audio
lessons, e-SLMs and others may be stored in a CD/DVD USB flash
drive/pen drive while the printed SLM shall be used by learners adopting
PMDL. Additional, Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) which are K to 12
compliant are developed following the ADM Learning Resources
Standards. The SLMs are designed to provide ample time for mastery and
sufficient practice to ensure that the targeted most essential learning
competencies are achieved. Clearly defined goals are attainable within the
specific time frame by taking into consideration the learners' learning
capacity based on their grade level (Division Memorandum No. 201, s.
2020). This is relevant to the study in terms of using the LAS which have
implementing guidelines. The LAS that will be used in the study must
follow the implementing rules and regulations set by respected SDO’s.
14
Province of Laguna
As an assessment tool, worksheets can be used by teachers to
understand students' previous knowledge, outcome of learning, and the
process of learning; at the same time, they can be used to enable
students to monitor the progress of their own learning (Lee, 2014). It is
also cited on the significance of the present study that teachers will be
able to understand their student mor comprehensively.
Amila et al. (2018) found that student worksheet based on Ethno
science was practically using in learning and effective in improving
conceptual understanding which is indicated by the differences in test
results between the control and the experimental class. The present study
may show same result as mention in the said study. It can help improve
conceptual understanding on content.
CTL-based Student Worksheets are easier for students to
understand learning material, this is shown by students in solving
problems on student worksheets properly. Based on the results of the
study it can be concluded that learning by using Student Worksheets
based on Contextual Teaching and Learning helps students more easily
understand the subject matter (Fauziah and Nurita, 2019). In relation to
15
Province of Laguna
the present study, it can also be observed during the conduct of the study
since LAS are organised based from MELS. Thus, Department of
Education uses thematic strategy which is an effective way of presenting
content.
Simbolon et al. (2018) found that students’ activity sheets with a
scientific approach developed by researchers deserve to be used as a
teaching material to support the fourth grade of primary school. However,
the study used it on primary school level. In spite of using different grade
levels, it can be comparable to the present study in terms of using
scientific approach during the structuring of Learning Activity sheets.
To sum it up, the literature presented can be comparable to the
present study in terms of the materials used, approach and methodology.
Additionally, results of the said study can be comparable to the present
study; it can be evident when it is cited on the analysis of the results of the
present study.
Related Studies
Andayani et al. (2021) found that inquiry-based student worksheets
on animal tissue learning material can train students' critical thinking skills.
It is relevant to the study in terms of the usage of worksheets which
16
Province of Laguna
improves the critical thinking of learners. In this case, it shows
effectiveness because it trains the thinking of the respondents.
Relatively, the activity and creative thinking skills of students
increased after learning, so it can be concluded that guided inquiry
learning tools were effective in increasing students' activities and creative
thinking skills (Sarnita et al. (2021). Similarly, it is also the same with the
above study because it trains critical thinking of respondents.
The use of worksheets is an effective method in teaching the shape
and movement of the Earth. In their study, Utami et al., (2016) similarly
concluded that using worksheets on the subject of the distribution of
natural resources markedly increases student achievement. Similarly, it is
relevant to the study in terms of the effectiveness of using activity sheets
in teaching Araling panlipunan that involves also the same topic shape
and movement of the Earth.
Thus, the implementation of project based learning (PjBL)-based
student's worksheets can improve student's higher-order thinking skills
and time management skills (Santoso, 2021). It is relevant to the previous
studies above in terms of the effectiveness of worksheet. In this case, it
improves Higher Order Thinking Skills.
17
Province of Laguna
To sum it up, most of the studies point out the effectiveness of
using worksheets to improve critical thinking and higher order thinking
skills. Moreover, most of the studies reviewed positive feedback on the
use of worksheets in self-regulated learning

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter starts with an introductory paragraph citing the different parts
or contents of the chapter.
Research Design
This study will employ exploratory correlation between using learning
activity sheets in teaching Araling Panlipunan. There will be a needs assessment before
the conduct of pre-test and post-test to the controlled and uncontrolled group. The study
made use of quantitative research methods in analyzing the controlled and uncontrolled
group. It is the most appropriate method to be used to identify the effectiveness of using
LAS in teaching Araling Panlipunan.
Respondents of the Study
The study will be conducted in Sampaloc National High School in Sampaloc
Quezon. The respondent of the study will be grade eight (8) students of Samaploc
National High School. They are composed of two sections Grade 8 -Sampaguita and
Grade 8 - Rose. Grade 8 sampaguita is composed of 12 male and 11 females with a
total of 23 students. Grade 8 Rose is composed of 11 male and 11 female with a total of
22 students. All in all, the grade 8 is composed of forty-five (45) students. This will be
conducted in the third quarter school year 2020-2021.
19
Province of Laguna
Research Procedure
This research utilized a descriptive-correlational design by Camorin (2010) in the
gathering of important data relevant to the study. It is a design used to collect and
analyze data and measure two variables of the study the: instructional strategies
employed by the teachers in teaching AP and the academic performance of grade 8
students. It will make use of the pre-test and post-test. The extent of instructional
strategies utilized by teachers in teaching AP in terms of effectivity of learning activity
sheets. And the proficiency level of learners’ academic performance.
Research Instrument
The researcher will use an assessment skills tool as a data gathering instrument.
It will involve collection of data in order to test the hypothesis to answer questions
concerning the level of improvement on the academic performance of grade 8 Students
using the Learning Activity Sheets as a learning tool.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The study used descriptive-correlational research design which primarily
employed the survey method to obtain information from the students of the whole
population. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used because the study has
categorical independent variable and a dependent variable. This will test the difference
in the means of dependent and independent variable.
20

Weighted Mean: This was used to measure the general response of the survey
samples, whether they were important to a given statement or not. Involves summing up
all values and divided by the total number of responses. The formula expressed below:
Where:Wm = Σ fx/ n
Wm = Weighted mean
F = Frequency
