Project IPEA (Increase Performance Level of Grade 7 students
in Araling Panlipunan through Enhanced Assessment Process)
is a grade-level intervention basically to address the low
performance level of 53.29% of students in Araling Panlipunan
7. This includes the following interventions/strategies which
were proven effective based from the data gathered after the
fourth quarter:

Project Sulat
Culminating Activity
AP Success Corner
Heroes Boxes
Celebration, Rewards & Incentives
 The Performance Level of The following are the
the Grade 7 students in AP participants of this study:

II. OBJECTIVES
This action research aimed to reach 90-100% mps in Araling Panlipunan
7. Specifically, it was conducted to:

1. Determine the performance levels of students in Araling Panlipunan 7

in the third quarter;

2. Determine the acceptability levels of the interventions given;

3. Evaluate the effect of the implemented enhanced assessment

process in the performance level of Grade 7 students in Araling
Panlipunan.

 The following are the solutions implemented according to the
identified priority improvement areas in Araling Panlipunan:
Project SULAT – this intervention was realized to fill in the gap
in the learning process of the students. The following were
identified as the root cause of the learning gaps:
 No Available Reading Materials
 Confusing Lecture Sessions
AP Success Corner (For Visual Management) – this
intervention was made to visually present to the students their
accomplishments per competency. This resulted to a
remarkable enthusiasm of the students towards learning in AP
7 as reflected in their increased mps in the 4th Quarter. This
intervention is rooted from the following:
 Inaccessible data of accomplishments/performance
 Visual inadequacy
 The following are the solutions implemented according to the
identified priority improvement areas in Araling Panlipunan:
Heroes’ Boxes (For Mistake Proofing)– This innovation was
made to create the students’ feeling of ownership of questions
they personally made for mastery in Araling Panlipunan 7.
Everyday, students were able to access the questions they
created in the Heroes’ Boxes. Please note that the questions
were reviewed first by the assigned AP teacher before they
were dropped inside the boxes. This is the answer to the
following root cause of learning gap:
 Confusing questions in the examinations

For Objective #2.

Table 2 shows that the Interventions were highly accepted by the

students with an overall rating of 3.37. However, Project SULAT is the

1) The mps of the Grade 7 in Araling Panlipunan is 53.29%

2) The Project IPEA was HA by the students with a rating of 3.37.

3) The Increase of 8.29 in the mps of the Grade 7 in Araling Panlipunan

from 53.29% to 61.58% tells that the implemented Project has a positive
effect.

Gap: 13.42 below the DEPED Planning Standard of 75.

1) The mps of Grade 7 in Araling Panlipunan was below the Planning
standard of DepEd.

2) The students enjoyed the innovations given to them.

3)The Project IPEA helped the students in improving their performance.

It is highly recommended that:

1. Low performing students should be given intervention to cope up

2. Teachers should be innovative and creative in making and giving

interventions to the students

3. More projects like Project IPEA should be made and implemented to

improve student performance
