CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM

This chapter presents the introduction, statement of the problem, research

objectives, scope, limitations, and delimitations of the study, and pedagogical

implication.

Introduction

Speaking, listening, viewing, writing, and reading are the five basic macro skills in

communication, these concepts are essential to allow individual to comprehend and

produce language effective for proper communication. Additionally, the study will focus

on one macro skill, which is the reading comprehension.

(Brandon, 2021) states that comprehension is the capacity to understand written

words. Opposed to the ability to recognize words. The purpose of reading is not always

recognizing but it is the ability to understand words. Reading comprehension occurs

when words on a page are not just mere words but thoughts and ideas.

Moreover, (Burns & Treptow, 2019) argues that there are three levels of

reading comprehension; independent, instructional, and frustration level.

Independent level can read text on their own, while instructional level has

adequate background knowledge for a topic, and can access text quickly and with no or

few errors. And frustration level does not have adequate background level for a topic

and/or cannot meet criteria for instructional levels of accuracy and rate. (Bilbao et al.,

2016) discusses that in a study was conducted in Davao City to determine the reading

profiency level of year 1 to year 3 students as the basis for the intervention program.

And, the study reveals that majority of the students are in the frustration level of

reading profiency in silent reading, while instuctional level in oral reading, and majority

of the males are less proficient in reading compared to females in both silent and oral

readings.

Statement Of The Problem

The research shows the level of reading comprehension of senior high school

students of Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School and seeks to answer the following

questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1 Age

1.2 Sex

1.3 Strand

2. What is the level of reading comprehension of the respondents?

3. What are the factors that affect the reading level of the students?

4. Based on the findings, what modification should be done in the localized reading

program?

Research Objectives

This research aims to determine the level of reading comprehension of senior high

school students in Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School

Specifically it aims to:

1. Identify the demographic profile of the respondents

2. Determine what is the meaning of reading comprehension.

3. To find out whar is the level of reading comprehension of the senior high

school students.

4. To classify the factors affecting the reading comprehension of senior high

school students.

5. Create a plan for modification of local reading program.

Scope, Delimitation, Limitation of the Study

The study will be confined to the level of reading comprehension of senior high

school students. The primary respondents of the study will cover the Grade 11 and 12

students in school year 2022 – 2023. The scope of the study will be limited to 145

students, which is the ten (10%) percent of the total population of senior high school

students in Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School.

 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 5
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

Moreover, the study will not cover the listening, viewing, writing, and speaking skills

of the respondents. Furthermore, the study is delimited to the junior high school

students and will not exceed to different schools. Additionally, interviews will not be

used in the study.

Lastly, the study is limited only to the reading comprehension of the Senior High

School students in Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School.

Pedagogical Implications

This part includes the implication of the research as the reflection done by the

researcher on the research findings during the research as follows:

1. The Constructivist Approach

The constructivist approach is based on the concept of constructivism. This is the

belief that learners create their own understanding of the world around them, and this

understanding is based on experience through their everyday lives as they grow. Using

specific experiences, people transform information they’ve accumulated into knowledge

and understanding.

This approach is handy for allowing learners to take a more active role in the

learning process, as it encourages them to use their previous knowledge as a

foundation for understanding new concepts, as opposed to passively receiving

information.
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 6
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

2. The Reflective Approach

The reflective approach focuses primarily on analysing what the teacher and

learners are doing in the classroom. It encourages thinking about teaching practices

and figuring out ways to improve them in an attempt to make learning processes more

effective for a class of learners. This can be done through processes such as self-

evaluation and self-reflection, used as ways to essentially learn more about your own

practice, improve a certain practice (like small groups and cooperative learning) or to

focus on a problem learners are having.

3. The Integrative Approach

The integrative approach differs from the other teaching approaches in the sense

that it tries to provide learners with an environment where they can make connections

between the current topic they’re learning about and other topics they’ll come across at

different stages of the curriculum. This means that it tends to focus on specific

connections between different bits of information, rather than facts in isolation.

While this approach is more commonly used in higher education, it can still be quite

useful at other stages of education too, as it can help learners gain a broader

understanding of the world around them by linking together bits of related information.
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 7
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

Studies have shown that this kind of approach can help learners stay engaged on the

topics they’re learning about. (Ajar, 2018).

CHAPTER II

Review of Related Literature and Studies

This chapter presents the related literature and studies after the thorough and in-

depth search done by the researchers. This will also present the synthesis of the art,

theoretical and conceptual framework to fully, understand the research to be done and

lastly the definition of terms for better comprehension of the study.

Nature Of Reading

Bunau et al., 2016 states that reading is a complex process in

getting meaning from the text through comprehension. From this comprehension will

help the readers to gasp the meaning of the text. The basic level in reading is

identifying of words. Moreover, from the basic identification of the individual letters and

how these form a exact word, to what each word means not just on an individual level,

but also as part of a text (Aliponga, 2013).

Reading Comprehension

Reading comprehension is the capacity to understand written words that oppose to

the ability to recognize words. The purpose of reading is not always recognizing, but it

is the ability to understand words. Reading comprehension occurs when words on a

page are not just mere words, but thoughts and ideas (Brandon, 2019). Moreover,
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 8
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

reading comprehension is the mother of all study skills. However, despite of a

long-standing awareness of reading comprehension as an important component

of learning, it remains a critical concern in Philippine education (Herlardez, 2021).

Level Of Reading Comprehension

There are three levels of reading comprehension: independent, instructional,

and frustration level. Independent level can read text on their own, while

instructional level has adequate background knowledge for a topic, and can access

text quickly and with no or few errors. Frustration level does not have adequate

background level for a topic and/or cannot meet criteria for instructional levels of

accuracy and rate. (Burns & Treptow, 2019; DaCosta & Gutierrez, 2020).

Moreover, there are other terms on the level of reading comprehension namely;

Literal, Inference, and Evaluate level of comprehension (Lastiri, 2021).

Factors Affects Reading Comprehension

According to Tánczikné, 2017, reading abilities have different these components

are the following: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary. Phonemic

awareness is the knowledge that words are made up of a combination of individual

sounds. It also includes the ability to hold on to those sounds, blend them successfully

into words and take them apart again. Phonics is the relationship between a specific

letter and its sound, only as it relates to the written word. Phonics has a special

significance in opaque orthographies like English where children have to learn the
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 9
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

spelling of different words. Moreover, in the Philippine settings factors such as the lack

of prior knowledge is one of the factor the affects the reading comprehension of

students. (Negosa, 2021). Additonally, home-related factors have a very significant

effect that affects the reading comprehension of the learners. (Torres, 2019).

Synthesis

Reading is a process of getting the meaning of the text through

comprehension. Also, the goal of reading is to fully comprehend what is the message of

the text, and what is its meaning. Moreover, reading is a basic step in identifying words,

letters, and phrases that we use in our daily lives. (Bunau et al., 2016; Aliponga, 2013).

Additionally, reading comprehension is the foundation of all skills for it is the ability to

understand words. Moreover, reading comprehension occurs when words covney are

processed into thoughts, that is an important aspect in reading. However, in the

Philippines reading comprehension remains a concern in the education sector.

(Brandon, 2019; Herlardez, 2021).

Futhermore, there are three levels of reading comprehension as per the

researchers, these are Frustration, Independent, and Instructional. Frustration level

does not have adequate background level for a topic, while independent level can read

text on their own, and instructional has an adequate background level for a topic.

Additionally, Literal, Inference, and Evaluate are the other terms used for the
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 10
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

level of reading comprehension. (Burns & Treptow, 2019; DaCosta & Gutierrez,

2020; Lastiri, 2021).

Lastly, there are numerous factors that affects the reading comprehension of the

students. The first factor is the student does not have prior knowledge about the topic

given, also home-related factors contribute to the reading comprehension of the

students. Therefore, reading interventions are highly encourage so that student will

hone and gain reading comprehension. (Negosa, 2021; Torres, 2019).

Theoretical Framework

The study is anchored to the theoretical support from Jean Piaget’s theory of

Constructivist Learning, Lev Vygotsky’s Theory of Sociocultural, and Urie

Bronfenbrenner’s Theory of Ecological Systems.

According to Kurt 2023, Jean Piaget’s theory of Constructivist Learning is a theory

that idea is a major contributor of their learning growth. Moreover, knowledge is

establish under the experience of the learner, as every situation occurs every person

reflects on their experience and adds new idea with their prior knowledge in which they

develop schemas to organize the knowledge they acquired.

Furthermore, Cherry 2022, stated that Lev Vygotsky’s Theory of Sociocultural is

about the societys’ contribution in the growth of an individual. Additionally, the learning
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 11
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

of human is a social process, that our cognitive functions are created by the interactions

around the people who are much more knowledgable and skillful. In addition, in the

sociocultural perspective, our psychological growth is directed by people in our lives

who are a mentor-type role such as teachers and parents, Other times, participating in

social gathering events and interacting with social groups will develop value and beliefs.

Moreover, (Psychology Notes HQ, 2022) presented that Urie Bronfenbrenner

formulated the Ecological Systems Theory to interpret how social environment has its

effect to a child’s growth. Additionally, this theory highlights examining children in

numerous environment known as ecological systems to aim understanding their growth.

Conceptual Framework

Conceptual framework provides clear explanations regarding the relationships

among variables. In here, the paradigm of variables such as independent variables,

intervening variables and dependent variables in the study must be presented. The

research paradigm is shown and discussed in this section.

The study utilizes the Input, Process, Output (IPO) model. Inputs are modeled as

consumables and efforts that are introduced to a system at the beginning stage of the

lifecycle. Outputs are modeled as the result produced by the system. Process is

modeled as the conversion of the inputs to the outputs (Drake et al. 2021)

may influence the team itself, directly or indirectly. Moreover, the input section shows

the profile of the respondents according to age, sex, and strand, then the level of

reading comprehension, followed by the factors affecting the reading comprehension,

and lastly the action plan.

On the other hand, the process section is the chronological procedure made by the

researchers in studying the study, furthermore the process section shows the five (5)

procedures in conducting the study. First, is to identify the profile of the respondents in

terms of age, sex, and strand, next is conduct survey using convenience sampling

method, then gather the data, followed by interpretation of data using statistical tools,

and lastly give conclusions and recommendations.

Moreover, the output section is modeled as the result produced by the system.

Furthermore it shows the outcome the researchers recommend which is to promote

aesthetic reading in the senior high school department of Camp Vicente Lim Integrated

School. Additionally, according to Krashen 2020 aesthetic reading was defined as the

type of reading that readers engaged in when reading for emotional enjoyment.

Moreover,  aesthetic approach is more personal, as the reader applies her own

interpretation, drawing on her own individual background and taste. Furthermore,

Aesthetic reading focuses on the transaction with the reader. Therefore, it is important

for teachers to know what happened in the reader's mind while reading, and help the

reader to reflect on this reading experience.

CHAPTER III

Research Method and Procedure

This chapter presents the research design, sampling method, subject of the

study, data-gathering instrument, data gathering procedure, statistical treatment

data, and validation of research instrument.

Research Design

The current study used a quantitative approach and a descriptive survey research

methodology. Studies that used descriptive survey research provided useful details

about the elements that were prevalent at the time. It interprets what is and describes it.

It was worried about current circumstances, ongoing processes perceived effects and

emerging trends. Moreover, to give a description or a visual of a condition or

phenomenon, descriptive research is used. Researchers that employ descriptive

research don’t experiment on their subjects to find causes and effects. Because of this,
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 15
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

the work is regarded as non-experimental. When a research question basic structure is’’

what is happening here?’’ descriptive research is crucial (Daniel J. Boudah).

Sampling Method

There are 1437 students enrolled in grade 11 at 12 at Camp Vicente Lim

Integrated School for the academic year 2022–2023. The convenience sample,

which only chooses participants from selected sections of grade 11 and 12, was the

selection method used by the researchers.. Convenience sampling is the most

common form of nonprobability sampling, mostly because it is misused. (Thomas W.

Edgar, David O. Manz, in Research Methods for Cyber Security, 2017

Subjects of the Study

This section comprises the discussion on how and where the subjects will be

taken from. The subjects of the study are the students in Senior High School students

of Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School with a total population of 1,437 and only ten

(10) percent will be taken from the total population that is 150

Research Instrument

The part contains the discussion of the data gathering instrument used in the

study such as questionnaire, test, interview, focus group discussion, etc. The study will

utilize a questionnaire as a data-gathering instrument.

 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 16
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

Questionnaire is a list of questions or items used to gather data from respondents

about their attitude, experience, or opinions (Bhandari, 2023). The researchers created

a questionnaire in line with the topic of the study.

(Bhat, 2023) states that there are five commonly used types of questions in a

questionnaire, which are; open-ended questions, dichotomous questions, multiple-

choice questions, scaling questions, and pictorial questions. And the researchers used

a scaling questions under 4-point likert scale to measure the level on how the

respondents response to the given questions.

Data Gathering Procedure

This part discusses the process of gathering the data, from creating self-made

questionnaire to data analysis the follow process are made by the researchers are as

follows:

1. The researchers created a self-made questionnaire.

2. The researchers validated the questionnaire to the language adviser.

3. The researchers conducted the survey under convenience sampling method in

Google Form.

4. The researchers gathered all the data.

5. The researchers interpreted the data using a statistical treatment of frequency,

percentage, ranking, and weighted mean.

 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 17
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

Statistical Treatment of Data

In this section, the statistical tools used in answering the specific research

questions must be described as used in the present study.

Statistical treatment of data is taking raw data and turning it into something that can

be interpreted and used to make decisions. This process is important for businesses

because it allows them to take customer feedback and turn it into actionable insights.

(Vishak, 2023).

To analyze and interpret the data, the researcher employed the following

statistical procedure:

1. Frequency, percentage and ranking.

Percentage was used as the tool for statistical test to determine the number and

profile of the respondents.

The formula used was:

% = S/N x 100

Where:

% = Percentage

S = Sample
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 18

Conclusions

The researchers had come up with their conclusions based from the

gathered data and information. Based on the findings, 48 or 56.5% are ages 15 to 17
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 29
Brgy. Mayapa, City of Calamba Laguna
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

years old while 46 or 56.5% are male, then 21 or 24.7% are in the HUMSS strand. It

implies that there is a need to pursue further studies. It is also suggested that the

school language teacher should be inform about what the age, strand, and sex of the

students that needs guidance in reading.

Furthermore, the level of reading comprehension of senior high school students are

on rarely that is interpreted as average comprehension also the factors affects the

reading comprehension is on rarely that is interpreted as averagely affected.

Recommendations

The recommendations address the findings of the study. These include the

following: review and utilization of the output; other significant findings which are not

addressed in the output; and further research on the present study.

1. Vigorously promotes aesthetic reading in order to stimulate the urge of the

student to have reading habit just like in Don Bosco Technical College,

Mandaluyong City.

2. Should have a organization or reading club similar to Marist School, Marikina

City.

3. should continue the project FAIR and keep it strengthend to help future student

in reading.
 CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL 30
