Teachers’ Attitude and Teaching Methodology Towards Philippine Informal Reading Inventory: A Reading Appraisal

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

The study aimed to determine the extent of teachers’ attitude towards Phil-IRI and teachers’ teaching methodology to pupils’ reading levels among Grades 4 and 6 of Malinao Elementary School, Gingoog City Division. Results show that teachers’ attitude towards Phil-IRI is frequently observed and teachers’ teaching methodology in teaching reading is always practiced by teachers. Evidently, pupils’ reading performance has improved. However, statistically, teachers’ attitude towards Phil-IRI has no correlation to pupils’ reading levels but teachers’ teaching methodology has significant influence to pupils’ reading performance. It was recommended that school heads should inspire teachers to exploit more effective teaching approaches and strategies in teaching of reading and teachers to continuously provide appropriate instructional reading activities to stimulate pupils’ reading performance. Additionally, a research on extensive reading instructional strategies should likewise be conducted in order to establish likelihood in improving teachers’ teaching proficiency in the teaching of reading proficiency.
