Effect of Home-Based Teaching Approach and Learning Proficiency of at Risk ALS Learners

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of home-based teaching approach among at-risk ALS learners. At this stage in the research, teachers are experienc-ing challenges in the learner’s performance specially on the at-risk learners learn-ing from home and how they strategize to overcome their difficulty and insights to mitigate such for better learning proficiency among learners. This study made used of the quasi- experimental research design which is a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Non-equivalent design is a good design when the researcher has access to one group for experimentation (Vockel 1983). The re- searcher opted to use this design because the subjects of the study are intact group of learners. Findings revealed that some learners have low performance based on their submitted modules while at home. However, home-based teach-ing approach have found to be effective to level up the learner’s performance. Such findings direct teachers in the near to adopt the approach to certain at-risk learners to raise their proficiency.
