Paper Abstract / Summary:

The main purpose of this study was to determine and compare the level of performances in scientific measurement of the third year high school students of Philippine Normal University Center for Teaching and Learning in the three modes of testing. Specifically, the study aims to determine the level and differences of third year high school students’ performance in the three modes of testing when grouped according to gender. To determine the level of performance of the respondents in the three modes of testing, the researcher utilized the descriptive-comparative method of research using the developed performance test in scientific measurement. The development of the test followed the principles of test construction. To determine the level of performance in scientific measurement in the three modes of testing, the researcher utilized the mean while t-test for independent means and one-way analysis of variance were used to determine significant differences between subjects and among the three modes of testing, respectively. Significant differences in this study were set at 0.05 level of significance. Results of the study show that the level of performance in scientific measurement of the third year high school students in the three modes of testing is high. However, when obtained mean scores were considered results revealed that the highest mean was observed in the third test, this mode of testing allowed students to use formulas, conversion factors and calculator. Results also revealed that when grouped according to gender, level of performance of boys and girls is high but the highest mean score was obtained by the girls consistently in the three modes of testing. Likewise, it was found out that there is a significant difference in the level of performance of the third year high school students’ in the three modes of testing. Significant difference was observed between the first mode and the third mode of testing. On the other hand, when grouped according to gender, boys and girls differ significantly in the level of their performances in the first and third mode of testing only. No significant difference was found in the second mode of testing. These findings conclude that third year high school students have mastery of scientific measurement; however, girls perform better than boys in the first and third mode of testing. Likewise, the study concludes that the use of technology in the classroom such as calculator helps improve performance in finding out correct solutions for the problem. The study recommends that technology such as, calculator, computers and the like should be used in the classroom for these help students acquire the necessary skills in word problem solving.
