This study aimed to investigate the academic performance of Grade 8 Science learning during face-to-face classes in General Emilio Aguinaldo National High School – Imus City for the School Year 2022-2023. The research involved analyzing data gathered from 238 learners to draw conclusions. The study explored various aspects related to attendance, engagement, quality of teaching, cla2rity of explanations and examples, access to learning resources, study habits, motivation and interest in science subjects, the impact of face-to-face classes on motivation, parental involvement in inquiring about progress, learning engagement during face-to-face classes, and the correlation between grades in science and hours spent studying.
The findings revealed that most learners actively engaged in face-to-face classes, with high attendance rates and positive perceptions of teaching quality. Most respondents reported having access to necessary textbooks and learning materials, although some reported lack of access. Study habits showed that many learners regularly reviewed science material outside class, indicating active engagement. Regarding motivation and interest, most respondents expressed some interest in science subjects, and face-to-face classes were reported to enhance their motivation to learn and excel in the subject.
Parental involvement varied, with some parents or guardians rarely inquiring about their child's progress in science while others inquired occasionally or frequently. Overall, learners had positive perceptions of face-to-face learning engagement, with a strong agreement regarding the helpfulness of face-to-face interactions and provided resources.
The study found no significant correlation between grades in science and the total number of hours spent studying, suggesting that other factors may influence academic performance. Areas for improvement were identified, including ensuring equitable access to learning resources and addressing lower levels of engagement and clarity for some learners.
These findings provide valuable insights into the learning and engagement patterns of Grade 8 Science learners and can inform strategies to enhance their educational experiences.
