<br/><br/> The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of activity-based   approach on students' achievement in Research I at the Secondary Level.  Eighty   (80) students of Grade 9 Special Science Class at Bataan National High School in   the Pretest-Posttest were selected. Teacher made tests were used as research tools   following Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains.  Experimental group was   taught with the help of activities whereas the control group was taught the same   lessons through traditional method of teaching for the period of four (4) days per   week t-test was used to analyze data.     With IPO ( Input - Process- Output ) as its Conceptual Framework   the dependent variable includes the achievement in Research I and independent   variable is the activity-based approach.     The data were collected from the pre-posttest and properly hand scored   and tallied using SPSS IBM 24. The data gathered were grouped, tabulated, and   analyzed using the following statistical computation. Mean, standard deviation   and t-value were computed. Paired sample t-test was used to measure the   effectiveness of activity based approach and Pearson r for the relationship among   the experimental group's achievement score and grade point average (GPA) and   the control group's achievement score and grade point average (GPA).   The findings of the study were summarized as follows:  Experimental   male group did better compare to the result of male control group. The female   experimental group did much better than the female control group.            vi       The results implies that both groups have a significant increase in the   mean gain, however posttest result of the experimental group is significantly   higher than the control group.    There is no significant difference in the experimental and control group in   the cognitive domains of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis,   evaluation, and synthesis in the pretest. Hence it is concluded that both the   experimental and control groups were the same in the cognitive skills before the   treatment.   There is a very high degree of correlation among the experimental group   achievement scores using the activity based learning and the grade point average   (GPA).    The traditional approach had a slight effect in the achievement of the   control group and grade point average. The result of the experimental group is   slightly higher than the control group.   The findings of the study have implications to the different members of   the academe.    Instructional professionals including administrators should revisit, and   redesign the course outline to come up with appropriate teaching strategies that   will effectively deal with students' conceptual understanding and procedural on   concepts in Research I.    With the adoption of ABA in the curriculum, it would equip students with a   deeply learned battery research skills to take into their further academic and   professional career.
