WALKING TOUR STRATEGY ON THE PERFORMANCE IN SCIENCE OF GRADE 4 STUDENTS

Walking Tour is a strategy that utilizes a creative active learning environment. This study aims to find out the effectiveness of Walking Tour strategy on the performance in Science of grade 4 students. Specifically, it seeks to find out the significant difference in the pretest and posttest scores in Science of the students when grouped to Walking Tour strategy and Lecture Method. There were fifty grade 4 students of Calangahan Elementary School enrolled in SY 2017- 2018 are the subjects of the study. The study used true experimental research design, the randomized pretest-posttest control group design which utilized the pretest and posttest questionnaires. Data were analyze through percentage, t-test, and paired t-test. T-test result showed no significant difference on the pretest scores in Science of the students when grouped to Walking Tour strategy and Lecture Method. However, it revealed a significant difference in the post-test scores of students in Science when taught to Walking Tour as a Strategy and Lecture Method. Moreover, Paired t-test result showed a significant difference in pretest and posttest scores of students in Science when taught to Walking Tour strategy and Lecture Method. This study concludes that Walking Tour strategy is an effective way of teaching Science and can improve students' performance. Further, a study can be done using Walking Tour Strategy to other subjects to examine its effectiveness.
