Abstract

This action research aimed to determine the effectiveness of using songs in improving the

retention and recall of science concepts among the respondents. The study was conducted among

grade 6 pupils at Sto. Niño Biaan Elementary School, District of Mariveles, Bataan.

Quasi-Experimental design, particularly, the Matching-Only Pretest-Posttest Control

Group Design was utilized in this action research. The respondents were assigned to control and

experimental groups by using matching method. A pre-test was administered to both groups

before the study. After that, the experimental group was taught of the science lessons for a period

of four weeks (S6LT-IIa-b-1, S6LT-IIc-d-2) and science concept-based songs were integrated in

the instructions as supplemental activity. The control group received the same instructions,

however, science concept-based songs were not integrated. A posttest was administered to both

control and experimental groups in order to measure their level of performance after the study.

Statistical treatments employed were mean and standard deviation for descriptive data

and t-test for the inferential analysis of data. Major findings of the study showed that there was a

significant difference between the post-test scores of pupils in the control and experimental

group, thus, pupils in the experimental group performed better than pupils in the control group

after the study. Furthermore, the improvement in the level of performance of pupils in the

experimental group was significantly greater than the improvement in the control group.

Context and Rationale

Music is one of the essential components to a child’s cognitive development (Jones,

2010). In the primary education, songs are used to introduce basic literacy in forms of children’s

songs, nursery rhymes and chants. According to Jones (2010) songs can be used to teach new

concepts and to introduce new vocabulary. In addition, Yee Pinn Tsin (2015) stated that songs

have demonstrated to be effective teaching and learning tools for young learners.

With this, the researcher came up into an idea of using songs in teaching science concepts

to his grade 6 pupils. Considering the Multiple Intelligences Theory (Gardner, 1999) that pupils

possess multiple types of intellectual strengths and there are multiple ways to learn, the

researcher presumes that this will be effective in helping his pupils improve their retention and

recall of science concepts or information.

Studies have shown that music can be an effective tool in teaching and learning.

According to Salcedo (2010), music has been shown to provide an early formation of listening

skills and language facility, suggesting that the rhythm can make the words memorable. The goal

of integrating music is to have improved learning, to help kids learn concepts, ideas, and facts

that are new to them (Lynch, 2007). Music can be used across the curriculum to teach or

reinforce basic facts and information and can be naturally integrated throughout all curricular

areas to develop and extend vocabulary and comprehension skills. In addition, music has also

been shown to improve listening and oral language skill development, improve attention and

memory, and enhance abstract thinking (Paquette & Rieg , 2008).

In this action research, the researcher attempted to find out if his pupils’ retention and

recall of science concepts will be improved by integrating science concept-based songs in

teaching science lessons.

Research Questions

This action research aimed to determine the effectiveness of using songs in improving the

retention and recall of science concepts among grade 6 pupils.

Specifically, it intended to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of performance of pupils in the control and experimental groups

before the study?

2. What is the level of performance of pupils in the control and experimental groups after

the study?

3. Is there a significant difference in the level of performance of the control group and

experimental group in the pre-test?

4. I Is there a significant difference in the level of performance of the control group and

experimental group in the post-test?

5. Is there a significant difference in the mean gain scores between the experimental and

control group?

Hypotheses

The following null hypotheses were tested:

1. There is no significant difference in the level of performance of the control group and

experimental group in the pre-test.

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATAAN


INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 9

2. There is no significant difference in the level of performance of the control group and

experimental group in the post-test.

3. There is no significant difference in the mean gain scores between the experimental and

control group.

Significance of the Study

The findings of this study may prove useful to the following:

Pupils. Since education is centered on the learners, any advancement or innovation to

improve classroom instruction will be beneficial to the pupils. Particularly, this study will be

helpful in improving their retention of the science concepts they learned in an enjoyable way.

This may lead to better enthusiasm in learning the science subject.

Teachers. This study may encourage teachers to integrate innovative and exciting

teaching methods and strategies for the improvement of instruction in science subject. This may

also be a motivating factor for them to take advantage of their talents and abilities and integrate

them in teaching different subject areas.

School Administrators and Supervisors. Result of this investigation may encourage

administrators and supervisors help their teachers upgrade their teaching performance by

encouraging them to use innovative and exciting methods that can be integrated in teaching.

Municipality of Mariveles. Any educational improvement will benefit the municipality of

Mariveles as it may contribute to the improvement of the quality of working force of the

municipality or the quality of life of the every Marivelean.

Curriculum Planners. The findings of this study may assists the planners in the proper

selection of methods, techniques, and strategies that need to be reinforced.

Researcher Himself. This may serve as inspiration in teaching his pupils above and

beyond his capacity and in trying to integrate more innovative methods in teaching.

Future researcher. The information and insights that will be gained from this study may

serve as guide for other researcher in framing their conceptual framework and design and at the

same time encourage them to conduct lateral studies within their area of preferences.

Scope and Limitations

The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of using science concept-based

songs in improving pupils’ retention and recall of science concepts. It was conducted at Sto.

Niño Biaan Elementary School during the second grading period of school year 2017-2018. The

participants were the selected grade 6 pupils for wherein the researcher is assigned to teach

science subject.

For the science concept-based songs that were used in this study, the researcher adopted

the tune of some popular music such as “I don’t wanna know by Marron 5”, “Live while we’re

young by One Direction”, “That what makes us beautiful by One Direction”, “Sidekick by

Dawin”, “Cheerleader by OMI”, and “Dessert by Dawin”. The lyrics of these songs were set into

science concepts based on the topics under human body system which were originally composed

by the researcher. Thus, this study was limited to contents of Musculoskeletal System,

Integumentary System, Digestive System, Respiratory System, Circulatory System and Nervous

system.

Method

Type of Research

Quasi- Experimental design, particularly, the Matching-Only Pretest-Posttest Control

Group Design, was utilized in this action research. According to Shadish (2002), quasi-

experimental design, like experimental design, aims to test causal hypotheses. However, unlike

the experimental design, it does not employ random sampling and assignment of participants to

control and experimental group is by means of self- selection. In this study, an intervention

which is the integration of content- based songs in teaching science was tested for how well it

achieves its objective of improving the level of performance of grade 6 pupils in science.

Respondents

A total of 32 pupils consisted of 21 girls and 11 boys were involved in this study. They

were selected by the researcher from two grade 6 classes in Sto. Niño Biaan Elementary School,

S.Y. 2017-2018.

Sampling Method

Selected pupils were assigned by the researcher to control and experimental groups by

using Matching Method. The researcher matched the respondents based on their score in a pre-

test given to them. This was done in order to ensure that participants in control and experimental

groups are as similar as possible. According to Shadish (2002), quasi-experimental designs

identify a comparison group (control group) that is as similar to the treatment group

(experimental group) in terms of baseline (pre-intervention) characteristics.

Proposed Innovation/Intervention/Strategy

The proposed intervention in this study was the integration of science concept-based

songs in teaching. The researcher adopted the tune of some popular music such as “I don’t

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATAAN


INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 12

wanna know by Marron 5”, “Live while we’re young by One Direction”, “That what makes us

beautiful by One Direction”, “Sidekick by Dawin”, “Cheerleader by OMI”, and “Dessert by

Dawin”. The lyrics of these songs were set into science contents based on the topics under

human body system.

Concept-based music can be used as mnemonic device that helps pupils memorize or

recall ideas. Farnsworth (as cited by Bennett, 2002) states that when music is used as a

mnemonic device, it can facilitate learning. A recent study by Yee Pinn Tsin (2015) showed that

songs may enhance learning as they function as mnemonic devices to increase memorability. In

his research, songs based on the more difficult subtopics in Chemistry were composed,

encompassing many formulas, equations and facts to be remembered. It was found in this study

that students understood and retained key information better. In addition, songs added variety to

classroom learning experiences, lowered students’ stress levels, increased enjoyment and

engaged students more effectively by catering for students with different learning styles.

Instruments

Teacher-made pre-test and post- test was used as instrument of this study. To make the

instrument reliable, it was subjected to reliability measurement. Prior to the conduct of the study,

the instrument was administered to 20 pupils of other grade 6 class. The responses in each item

were checked for internal consistency using Cronbach Alpha. Based on the Cronbach Alpha of

.856, the instrument has a good internal consistency. Thus, the teacher-made pre-test and post-

test that was used in this study was reliable.

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATAAN


INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 13

Data Collection Procedure

Pre-test was administered to both the experimental and control groups in order to find out

the prior knowledge of participants about the lessons and to measure their present performance

level.

After that, the experimental group was taught of the science lessons for a period of four

weeks (S6LT-IIa-b-1, S6LT-IIc-d-2) and science concept-based songs were integrated in the

instructions as supplemental activity. The control group received the same instructions, however,

science concept-based songs were not integrated. A posttest was administered to both control and

experimental groups in order to measure their level of performance after the study. Results of the

pretest and posttest were compared using statistical tools to test the hypotheses of the study.

Ethical Considerations

Prior to the implementation of the study, parental consents of participants were secured by

the researcher. Only those pupils with parent’s permission were allowed to participate in the study.

Data Analysis

The data were tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk Test for Normality. This was

done in order to determine if parametric test such as t-test can be used to treat the data. The table

1 below shows the results of normality test of data. As shown in the table, the p-values of .859,

3.73, 442, and .145 were greater than .05 level of significance. It means that the data do not

significantly deviate from the standard normal distribution. Thus, parametric test can be used to

statistically treat the data for this study.

Discussion of Results

A. Level of Performance of Control and Experimental Group in the Pre-test


The table 2 shows the level of performance of Control and Experimental group in the pre-

test. The control group obtained a mean score of 12.81 with a standard deviation of 3.12 while

the experimental group got a mean score of 13.31 with a standard deviation of 3.38. The data

revealed that pupils from control and experimental group did not meet the expectations in the

pre-test.

B. Level of Performance of Control and Experimental Group in the Post-test

The table 2 presents the level of performance of Control and Experimental group in the

post-test. As shown in the table, the pupils in the control group had a fairly satisfactory level of

performance in the post-test with obtained mean score of 24.06 and standard deviation of 5.13.

On the other hand, pupils in the experimental group had a very satisfactory level of

performance in the post-test with obtained mean score of 32.35 and standard deviation of 3.92.

same level of performance before the conduct of the study.

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATAAN


INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 16

As shown in the table, the control group obtained a pre-test mean score of 12.81 while the

experimental group had a pre-test mean score of 12.31.

Since the p-value of .667 was greater than the assumed level of significance of .05, the null

hypothesis was accepted. There was no significant difference between the pre-test scores of

control and experimental group. It can be concluded that pupils both in control and experimental

group have the same level of performance before the conduct of the study.

Experimental 32.25

Table 4 presents the difference between the post-test scores of control group and

experimental group. This was conducted in order to determine effects of using the intervention

and the traditional approach in the level of performance of pupils in both groups.

As shown in the table, the control group obtained a post-test mean score of 24.06, while

the experimental group had a post-test mean score of 32.25.

Since the p-value of .000 was less than the assumed level of significance of .05, the null

hypothesis was rejected. Thus, there was a significant difference between the post-test scores of

control and experimental group.

As reflected in the obtained post-test scores, pupils in the experimental group performed

better than the control group. The higher post-test score of pupils in the experimental group can

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATAAN


INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 17

be attributed to the effect of using concept-based songs in teaching. With the integration of songs

in the instruction, the teaching and learning process became more fun for pupils. As song can be

effectively used to improve attention and memory (Paquette & Rieg, 2008), it helped the pupils

to be highly motivated and recall the science concepts they learned.

E. Difference between the Gain Scores of Control Group and Experimental Group

Table 6
Difference between the Gain Scores of Control Group and Experimental Group

Groups Mean t-value p-value Decision Interpretation

Control 11.25 5.38 .000 Reject Ho Significant


Experimental 18.93

Table 5 shows the difference between the gain scores of control group and experimental

group after the study. The mean gain score of the control group was 11.25 while mean gain score

of the experimental group was 18.93.

Since the p-value of .000 was less than the assumed level of significance of .05, the null

hypothesis was rejected. Thus, there was a significant difference between the gain scores of

control and experimental group after the study. It implies that the improvement in the level of

performance of pupils in the experimental group was significantly greater than the improvement

in the control group. It can be due to the integration of science concept-based songs in teaching.

According to Lynch (2007), integrating music in instructions has a goal of improving learning as

it helps kids learn concepts, ideas, and facts that are new to them.

Conclusions

Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn:

1. Pupils from both groups had a performance level of "did not meet the expectations" before the

study.

2. After the study, pupils in the control group performed "fairly satisfactory" while pupils in the

experimental group performed "very satisfactory".

3. There was no significant difference between the pre-test scores of pupils in the control and

experimental group, thus, pupils from both groups have the same level of performance before the

conduct of the study.

4. There was a significant difference between the post-test scores of pupils in the control and

experimental group, therefore, pupils in the experimental group performed better than pupils in

the control group after the study.

5. The improvement in the level of performance of pupils in the experimental group was

significantly greater than the improvement in the control group. With this, it can be concluded

that integrating science concept- based songs was effective in improving pupils’ retention and

recall of science concepts.

Recommendations

In view of the findings of the study, the following recommendations are given:

1. Since it was found out that the science concept-based songs that were used in this study were

effective in improving the level of performance of grade 6 pupils, teachers may utilize these

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATAAN


INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 19

readily available science concept-based songs in teaching topics in science, specifically, the

human body system.

2. Since music helps pupils in recalling concepts they learned, teachers may also compose other

concept-based songs for different subject areas.

3. School Administrator should provide trainings-workshop for their teachers to utilize or

integrate other form of arts in teaching for this can capture pupils’ interest and make learning

more fun.

4. Similar study on the integration of music may be conducted for other subject areas and with a

larger number of participants to ascertain the validity of this study.

Plan for Dissemination and Utilization

A District Learning Action Cell (DLAC) will be conducted by the researcher in order to

disseminate the results of the study and distribute the science concept-based songs used in the

study. In addition, the researcher with the help of some music enthusiast teachers will conduct a

mini-workshop on composing concept-based songs for science and other subjects. This will help

teachers compose songs that they can use in teaching lessons in different subject areas.

“Lesson Plan”

Lesson Plan for Musculo-Skeletal System


Objectives:
- explain how the organs of each organ system work together
(S6LT-IIa-b-1)
-explain how the different organ system work together
(S6LT-IIc-d-2)

Subject Matter (Lesson 1):


The Skeletal System (Parts and its function)

A. Science Concepts
-Bones protect the vital organs inside the body
-Bones provide anchor or support to the muscles.
-Bones Produce blood cells.

Values: The skeleton is the framework of the body in some ways as population is the
framework of a nation. When the framework is strong, the nation is strong. It is
important that each individual that composes a nation must be strong

B. Materials:
A model of a human skeletal system (if available) or enlarged picture of the human
skeletal system.
Musculo-Skeletal System Song

References:
Project EASE Module 10 (Musculo-Skeletal System)- Downloaded from the LRMDS

Procedure:

A. Preparatory Activities:
1. Show a picture of carpenters/ builders building a house.

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATAAN


INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 51

(Why do builders put up a wood/steel frame for a house? Why are there aluminum frames in an

umbrella? The wood/steel frame supports the walls and roof of a house just as the aluminum frame

supports the umbrella. These frames which provide support are also known as framework.

Animals have a framework similar to the framework of a home. The framework in animals is called the

skeleton. In animals, the framework has muscles attached to it instead of walls or roof.)

B. Presentation and Activities

1. Let the Pupils do this activity

Knowing the Functions of the Bones


Prepare the following materials:
Paper doll
Piece of wire as tall as the paper doll
Masking or adhesive tape

Procedure:
1. Cut a paper doll and make it stand on the table.
2. Attach the paper doll to the wire using the adhesive tape.
3. Bend the wire in different directions and observe what happens to the paper doll.
Answer the following questions:

A. Preparatory Activities:
1. Show a picture of a factory. Ask the pupils: what is a factory? What is happening inside
a factory?
Relate the factory to integumentary system.
Your body is like a factory, constantly building new materials and producing waste products such as

smoke, solid garbage, and dirty water. Waste products must be removed if a factory is to continue

operating

Your body makes and excretes waste products similar to those in a factory. First, carbon dioxide waste is

removed by the respiratory system. Second, the solid waste, or feces, is excreted by the digestive system.

It is the third type of waste that is especially dangerous to the body--chemical waste products. Most of

the body’s chemical waste products contain nitrogen. Wastes with nitrogen in them are poisonous and

must be removed from the body as quickly as possible.

B. Presentation and Activities

1. Let the Pupils watch a video presentation about the integumentary system.
Ask the following questions:
-What is the main function of the integumentary system?
-What are the parts of the integumentary system? (Describe and give its function)

What you need

An empty drink bottle (clear, without sport cap)

Drinking straw

Balloon

Water Balloon (or another normal size balloon)

Scissors

Tape

Small piece of blu-tac or plasticine

Instructions

Step 1

Rinse out your bottle with clean water and remove the label. With
help from an adult cut off the bottom 1/4 to 1/3 of your bottle.

Ask your adult to make a hole in the centre of the lid.


This can be done in a couple of ways either by being very careful
with a pair of sharp scissors, or by using a drill.

Step 2

Carefully tape the water balloon over one end of the straw and try to
make sure that no air can escape between them. Feed the straw
through the lid of the bottle and screw the lid on. It is also a good
idea to put some blutac or plasticine around the hole where the straw

INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 67

goes in to make a seal.


Now cut off the top of your other balloon and discard the top part.

Step 3

Now you need to stretch your balloon over the bottom of your bottle
tightly. For this you might need someone to help you by holding the
bottle. Once the balloon is stretched tightly, tape it in place sealing
the edge.

Your model lung is now complete!

Step 4
To see your model lung work you need to pull down on the balloon
at the bottom and if you watch the water balloon you can see it
inflate. If you let go of the balloon or push it back in you can see it
deflate.

Questions:
1. What happens to the balloon inside the bottle as you pull down the balloon at the bottom?
2. What happens to the balloon inside the bottle as you let go or push back the balloon at the
bottom?

How the nervous system works

A. Science Concepts/Ideas:
 Nerve impulse is actually a combination of chemical and electrical changes that start
from a stimulus at the end of a nerve fiber.
 A stimulus can be a light, heat pressure, chemical substance or a sound that canbe
perceived by any of the senses.
 The nerves that carry nerve impulses from the organs of the body to the brain and spinal
cord are called afferent or sensory nerves.
 The nerves that carry messages from the brain back to the organs of the body via the

INTEGRATION OF SONGS IN TEACHING SCIENCE 6 75

A. Preparatory Activity:
1. Sing the Nervous System Song and ask some questions about the parts and functions
of the Nervous System

B. Developmental Activities:
1. Motivational Activity
Ask pupils to get a partner. Then let them pinch each other. Then ask.
What did you feel? Why did you feel it? Where did the pain come from?
2. Presentation
Activity 1
Read the following
Nerve impulse is actually a combination of chemical and electrical changes that
start from a stimulus at the end of a nerve fiber. A stimulus can be a light, heat pressure,
chemical substance, or sound that can be perceived by any of the senses. The impulse
travels from one neuron to another over the length of the nerve fiber. When the
dendrites are stimulated, the neuron becomes positively charged inside and negatively
charged outside. This difference in electrical charge causes a movement of ions through
the cell membrane and travels through the length of the nerve cell as a wave. As the
signal reaches the end of an axon, it causes the axon to release the substance called
neurotransmitters. This substance diffuses through synapse to the dendrites of the next
neuron and begins a new impulse through that neuron... and so on from one neuron to
another.

Activity 2
Sing the Nervous System Song and show how the Nervous System Works
a. Sensory nerves receive impulses.
b. Sensory nerves send the messages to the brain through the spinal cord.
c. Brain interprets the message.

3. Concept Formation
What is a nerve impulse?
Give examples of stimulus?
What nerves receive the impulse?
What sends it to the brain for interpretation?

Evaluation:
Rearrange the following steps how the nervous system works.
_____ Brain interprets the message.
_____ Sensory nerves send the message to the rain through the spinal cord
_____ Motor nerves bring the information back to the muscles and glands.
_____ Motor nerves receive the impulse.
_____ Brain sends the message to the motor nerves through the spinal cord.

Assignment:
How the nervous system works?
