Project NICE: A Remediation Digital Kit for Improving the least mastered Mathematics Skills of Grade II Learners
Keywords:
Interactive Remediation tool, Least Mastered Skills, Mathematics Skills, Project NICEAbstract
This quasi-experimental study investigates the effectiveness of Project Numeracy through Interactive and Creative Electronic (NICE) as an intervention tool for enhancing the least-mastered mathematics skills of Grade II learners. Using a pretest and posttest design, 42 participants were selected from 515 Grade 2 learners using non-probability purposive sampling. The researcher employed Simple Percentage, Weighted Mean, and T-test of mean difference for the data analysis. 2nd periodic test results identified these three least mastered mathematical skills: (a.) addition and subtraction within 1,000; (b.) reading and writing large numbers; and (c) solving word problems involving money. Pretest results showed addition and subtraction within 1000 as the least mastered skills, averaging 48.35 MPS. Posttest results demonstrated significant improvement, indicating Project NICE's as an effective remediation tool. The data revealed significant differences in the least mastered mathematics skills between the pretest and posttest results. Thus, this study confirms Project NICE as an effective remediation tool for improving the least-mastered mathematics skills of Grade 2 learners.
