CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
My kindergarten pupils whose like a big container just waiting to be filled. All of
us experienced being a kid, like a kid, we go to school, meet some new friends and learn new
things. Before, way back my kindergarten days, I really want my teacher to notice me when
there’s an activity. Having three (3) big star in my hands, in my activity sheets and having a
sweet treat after an excellent work is one of my mission back then. Now, as one of the
teaching staff at Migsulang Elementary School who is assigned to teach kindergarten, I can
truly say that I’m challenge knowing I’m a Secondary Teacher but now teaching Elementary.
When I meet for the first time my learners, I’m shocked and stunned and started to ask this
questions to myself, “Can I really do this?”, “How can I handle this kids?”, “Where should I
start?”. Those are some of my thoughts at that moment.
I started the class like the usual routine, praying before starting the class, greet
everyone and later on proceed with the lesson. My first activity I gave them is tracing the letter
A, I gave them activity sheet and ask them to bring out their pencils and then they started to fill
the activity sheet I gave them, again, I’m surprise, some of my learners doesn’t even know to
grip properly the pencil in their hands, when I checked their works, I just smiled and said to
myself, “Sige lang, Kaya lage ni”. After their activity we recite the alphabet from a to z and
realized that some of them already know the alphabet but still on the progress on familiarizing
it and some of them doesn’t know every single thing about the alphabet.
After the class, I approach my learners and talk to them like the usual conversation. I
ask them on what part of the alphabet to they find it hard and I’m surprise with their answers.
Some said that they can forget it so why should they bother to learn it while the others said that
they don’t care about the alphabet and what matter most to them is to know how to write their
name. After the talk, I reflected and realized that the problem is not with them but what the
problem is really rotted to their beliefs, driving force and a little push to self-confidence to really
learn the alphabet slowly and according to their pace.
From my experience in using different tools and techniques, I found out that the
most important, urgent, the most doable and relevant problem or issue that I needed
to focus on is
Skinner’s Operant conditioning is simplified by the S-R theory wherein the key element
in this theory is reinforcement. The idea is based upon a change in overt behaviour, this
changes is the result of an individual’s response to event (stimuli) that occurs in certain
environment. Reward is the backbone of Skinner’s Operant conditioning theory.
Because
establishing these viable solutions can make my learner motivated and really push their
limits not only because they are force to but because of reward they can get after mastering
certain alphabet. However, I cannot guarantee how long can they sustain such interest
because of the reward system so I decided to implement such alternatively to avoid the loss of
interest and going to school because of the compliance of having a reward after school.

DATA GATHERING/COLLECTION
In order to gather/collect the data needed, the following strategy will be utilized:
o A Drill, for recalling lesson discussed yesterday by using flashcard and other
materials related to recall previous lesson.
o Motivational activity to connect new lesson, connecting new lesson by the singing
alphabet song.
o “Trace Me! Trace Me!”, a tracing activity that will help the teacher monitor whether
the learner learned the proper stroke of the given alphabet.
o “Shout me Loud”, an oral activity that will show whether the given alphabet is
recognize.
In order to explore the impact of these strategies, range of methods were used:
o Series of Stickers- which helps the teacher the degree of mastery to be given to
certain students.
District Roll – Out training on Action Research Division of Davao Occidental
o Sticker Chart- this chart is where the learner put the sticker given by the teacher.
Every alphabet have sticker based on the mastery of the learner on certain alphabet.
o Treats- to be given to the learner when the mastery level in given alphabet is
achieved.
o Reflective Journal- a journal where teacher can write his/her observation on his/her
learner, also to check the progress of his/her learners.
Sticker Charts will be collected and analysed every after the class. The teacher will
write his/her observation seen in the sticker charts in his/her Reflective Journal. After a
month the teacher will create a progress report that will help him/her whether the focus
alphabet that month is learned or not and then he/she can take a step whether to make
an interview or another intervention.
