Abstract/Summary

The primary goal of this static group comparison research is to investigate the effects of using games in teaching formula writing in Chemistry comparing it with chalk and talk method. A total of 34 junior students in Montessori de Manila were taken as samples in this study. Subjects were composed of two sections of Third Year: Nereid and Pioneer. Both sections of third year were composed of 17 students. Game method was used in Nereid, while in Pioneer researcher made used of Chalk and Talk Method. The effects were determined in terms of using teacher-made test, 20 items of multiple-choice type and administering it to two sections of Third year. Their score were compared descriptively using t-test in examining the difference between two means with the use of Inferential – Statistics (Independent samples) coefficient and ANOVA. Results indicate that there was a significant difference (p. >0.05) between the result of test scores of students taught in the use of games and students taught in the use of chalk and talk method since –3.02 falls in the area of rejection, the null hypothesis is rejected. To measure internal consistency of the test, researcher made used of Kruder- Richardson-20 wherein findings showed that the test exhibited very high relationship thus making it reliable while in measuring content validity she made used of index of discrimination where it proved that the teacher made test is valid.

Teacher’s Evaluation on Classroom Observation and Superior Evaluation Forms were used also by the researcher’s head and moderator to evaluate the effectiveness of her methodologies in teaching science topics, the results revealed that the teacher got an excellent rating of 3.96, thus it proved that game is an effective tool for teaching formula writing.
