Two are better than one, because they

have a good return for their labor.

Though one may be overpowered, two
can defend themselves. A cord of
three strands is not quickly broken.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
• If I conduct a tutorial session to
Special Program for the Arts
students with low scores on
quarterly exams in Science III,
will it improve the result of the
test?
PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT

The study is beneficial to the

following:

• Students.
• Teachers.
• School.

IMPLICATIONS
• Peer tutorial is an effective
intervention program due to the
increase in the mean test scores of
the low performing students in
Science III quarterly examinations
in the Grade 9 Special Program in
the Arts curriculum.
ACTION PLAN
• Peer tutoring to be continued as
intervention program
• Devise or engage in other
intervention strategies for better
learner academic performance
