Abstract

Every individual has suffered greatly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A remediation program is one of the approaches that help those students at risk of failing the subject. The main purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the Plug-In Learn Remediation Program for senior high school students who are at risk of failing the General Mathematics and Earth and Life Science core subjects. A mixed method design was employed, data were analyzed using a t-test, and focus-group discussion (FGD) was conducted with eight (8) Grade 11 at-risk students. The results of the study revealed that in the Earth and Life subjects, the inferential analysis between the pre-test and post-test scores of students who are at risk indicates that there is no significant difference since the p-value is greater than the 0.05 level of significance. The result of the paired t-test indicates a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of students at risk of failing in General Mathematics, since the p-value is lower than the 0.05 significance level. In addition, (1) satisfaction, (2) helpfulness, (3) comprehensiveness, and (4) happiness were the salient experiences of students during the Plug-in Learning Remediation Program. Moreover, the suggested improvement for the Plug-in Learning Remediation Program emerged only one theme – the use of local dialect (Filipino or Visayan language).
