Effectiveness Of Marungko Approach In Teaching Mother-Tongue-Based Language For Kindergarten Learners Using Online Classes
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study determined the effectiveness of the Marungko approach in teaching mother tongue–based language to Kindergarten learners in two identified public elementary schools using online classes. It utilized the quantitative-qualitative research method following the quasi-experimental design. The study used the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in testing the significant differences between the pre-test and post-test performances of the kindergarten learners in the mother tongue–based language in terms of reading, writing, and numeracy for the control and experimental groups. A phenomenological design was utilized for the qualitative research in which the lived experiences of the parents were identified. Results showed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in Cebu City Division for reading but not in writing and numeracy. However, in Lapu-Lapu City Division, there was a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in reading, writing, and numeracy. Therefore, the integration of the Marungko approach in online classes for mother tongue – based language for kindergarten was effective. Challenges parents encountered in the online class include the limited time to assist the child's learning needs, internet connectivity at home, and limited knowledge of techniques in teaching kindergarten. The study further recommended that its output be adopted.
