Teachers should employ best pedagogy to help the learners learn and
actively strengthen their academic performance. This study aimed to expose the
English pupils to Picture Word Inductive Method. The data of the study were
derived from the pre-test and posttest. Picture Word Inductive Method intended
to enhance pupils’ memory retention while gaining pupil’s interest in the subject.
This descriptive action research was conducted at Castillejos Central Elementary
School. The participants selected through purposive sampling were thirty nine
(39) Grade VI pupils. The research instruments used in this study were teaching
plan, instructional materials, and pre-test/posttest. The results of the study
showed that before using the intervention, the participants had a low level of
memory retention; 25 or 64.10% of the class performed below average in the
administered pre-test with a mean score of 17.3 (sd = 5.90). After the application
of the intervention, 24 or 61.5% of the class performed above average level with
a mean score of 34.22 (sd = 5.83). Since the computed t-value of 27.05 was
greater than the critical value of 2.024 (α = 0.05, df = 38), the null hypothesis was
rejected, indicating a significant difference on the memory retention of the pupils
before and after the intervention. Hence, the Picture Word Inductive Method had
an implied impact in enhancing the memory retention of English pupils and
vi
developed their appreciation and confidence in expressing themselves. Further
studies may be conducted to improve the effectiveness of the Picture Word
Inductive Method.

INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Teachers should employ best pedagogy not only to help the learners to
learn but to actively strengthen their academic performance.
Pictures provide realistic and concrete referents for the learning of new
words, phrases, and sentences. Among different teaching methods, many
researchers believe that the method of using pictures/visual images can benefit
learners in acquiring new words that can add up to their vocabulary.
According to Groome et al. (1999), recognition which represents the form
of memory appears to be relevant to young learner’s language learning. Different
presentation modes in different learning environments show that adding a picture
to a word might strengthen the comprehension and retention process (Tindall-
Ford, Chandler & Sweller, 1997).
Pictures are perceptually more distinct from one another than words, thus
increasing their chance for retrieval. Pictures are also believed to assess
meaning more directly than words (Nelson, 1976).
Mayer (2003) claims that the results may come from the fact that the
picture makes retention easier by identifying previous experience stored in
memory, or alternatively, the word next to the picture reduces the translation
inaccuracy.
Over the years, based on new research findings, the principles of using
pictures have expanded: people learn better from words and pictures than from
words alone, and people learn better when words and pictures are physically and
temporally integrated (Mayer & Mitchell, 2014).
The picture superiority effect stated that pictures and images are more
likely to be remembered than words. It is based on the notion that "human
memory is extremely sensitive to the symbolic modality of presentation of event
information" (Defetyer, Russo, & McPartlin, 2009).
Schmitt and McCarthy (1997) states that the meaning of new words can
be learned by studying them with pictures instead of definitions. Harvey and
Goudvis (2000) state that if readers/listeners can visualize new words, the words
will be more easily understood and remembered.
It claims that pictures are universal stimuli to aid learning that provide a
starting point for language sharing in the classroom (Wood & Tinajero, 2002).
Wood and Tinajero consider the PWIM as a model that cannot only be used to
teach English but can also be applied to teach other subjects based on English
language.
It is stated that PWIM induces learners to classify their new words,
building the concepts that will enable them to make sense of words they have not
seen before. It follows that the PWIM stresses on children’s natural ability to think
inductively because it respects their thinking ability (Acha, 2009).
Riding and Grimley (2001) claim that in certain learning situations, some
learners benefit more than others from the simultaneous presentation of words
and pictures.
14
Another very widely accepted theory is Paivio’s dual coding theory.
According to this theory, pictures have advantages over words with regards to
coding and retrieval of stored memory because pictures are coded more easily
and can be retrieved from symbolic mode, while the dual coding process using
words is more difficult for both coding and retrieval (Paivio, 1986).
Dual-coding theory, a theory of cognition, used the idea that the formation
of mental images aids in learning. While some limits the effectiveness of the
dual-coding theory, it is still valid over a wide range of circumstances and can be
used to improve memory (Reed, 2010). The mental codes corresponding to
these representations are used to organize incoming information that can be
acted upon, stored, and retrieved for subsequent use. Both visual and verbal
codes can be used when recalling information (Sternberg, 2003).
The Picture Word Inductive Method is an inquiry-oriented inductive
language arts strategy, which focuses on early literacy. It is based on Calhoun’s
research and is designed to teach K-6 children phonics and spelling, explicitly
and inductively (Calhoun, 2000).
The Picture Word Inductive Method embodies Bruner’s role of structure in
learning. This model helps a learner bridge a transition between old and new
knowledge by first identifying what they see in a picture, which activates existing
schema (old knowledge) (Bruner, 1960).
The main goal of teaching is to have an effective and appropriate
instructional strategy that will be suitable to all learners. Picture Word Inductive
method provides a practical way for the teacher to examine the level of memory
15
retention and observe the class performance of the learners in different activities
in order for them to create the best techniques for diverse learners. This method
will be beneficial to a teacher who aims to promote and develop several 21 st
century memory skills among learners. Instructional technique is very important
in the teaching-learning process. The application of instructional tools might have
positive and negative consequences based on the response of the learners. The
challenge for teachers is to overcome these real difficulties and provide a
practical model for understanding pupils’ wants, interest, and needs. For this
reason, the researcher has looked forward in finding the effects of Picture Word
Inductive Method in enhancing memory retention of the learners.
Statement of the Problem
This study aimed to examine the effects of Picture Word Inductive Method
on memory retention of Grade VI pupils.
The study intended to answer the following questions:
1. What is the level of memory retention of the pupils in English before the
intervention?
2. What is the level of memory retention of Grade VI pupils in English after
the intervention?
3. Is there a significant difference in the memory retention of the pupils in
English before and after the application of the Picture Word Inductive
Method strategy?
16
Significance of the Study
The study aimed to examine the effects of the implementation of picture
word inductive method in the classroom setting prior to the memory retention of
the pupils.
Pupils. The result of this study will help the pupils to enhance their
memory retention and motivate them to engage in learning prior to academic
skills in the actual classroom setting through the use of picture word inductive
model.
Teachers. Using the intervention, teachers will enhance the pupil’s
memory retention and promote quality education as may be used as one of the
pedagogical strategies of the teachers. The teacher can also use the result of the
study as a response on teaching activities and will increase his performance in
teaching program well. This study also gives contribution to the English teachers
in the use of Picture Word Inductive Model as a cognitive teaching technique to
improve pupils’ memory retention and vocabulary achievement.
School. Schools can use the findings of the study to maintain the active
involvement of every learner in the classroom and to improve the teaching
methodology of the teachers.
Parents. Parents as part of the child’s learning process can use this study
to have further support and guide their children regarding their academic
performance for the ultimate goal of learning.
DepEd. This study will help the Department of Education to innovate and
improve the quality of education in the Philippines.

FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY
Through this chapter we can see the framework of the study which
comprises the conceptual framework, definition of terms, and related topics
wherein citation from books, magazine, newspaper and website was being
presented to further discuss the study.
Picture Word Inductive Method
The Picture Word Inductive Method (PWIM) – A Model of Vocabulary
Teaching with the Aid of Pictures. The Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) is
developed by Joyce and Calhoun (1998); it uses pictures containing familiar
objects and actions to elicit words from children’s listening and speaking
vocabulary. The PWIM has been used in Calhoun’s teaching for American
children in the primary school and the kindergarten since the 1970s and it has
become more and more popular for the other teachers in teaching young ESL
learners.
Wood and Tinajero (2002) claim that pictures are “universal stimuli to aid
learning that provide a starting point for language sharing in the classroom”
(page 10). With the emphasis of using pictures as a stimuli to teach, the PWIM
incorporates learning, writing, vocabulary, and recognition development as a
method of supporting learners who learn English to promote an understanding of
“the content knowledge necessary to be successful in all subject areas” (p. 10).
They consider the PWIM as a model that cannot only be used to teach English
but can also be applied to teach other subjects based on English language.
According to Acha (2009), inductive learning ability has been proved to
relate to language acquisition and may affect organizing in the mind parts of
speech and grammar rules as well as thematic concepts of words. It is stated
that PWIM induces learners to classify their new words, building the concepts
that will enable them to make sense of words they have not seen before.
Picture superiority effect. The picture superiority effect refers to the
phenomenon in which pictures and images are more likely to be remembered
than words. It is based on the notion that “human memory is extremely sensitive
to the symbolic modality of presentation of event information” (Defetyer, Russo, &
McPartlin, 2009; p. 2).
Allan Paivio's dual-coding theory is a basis of picture superiority effect.
Paivio claims that pictures have advantages over words with regards to coding
and retrieval of stored memory because pictures are coded more easily and can
be retrieved from symbolic mode (Paivio, 1986).
Pictures are perceptually more distinct from one another than words, thus
increasing their chance for retrieval. Pictures are also believed to assess
meaning more directly than words. Levels of processing theory apply when
words and pictures are compared under semantic study instructions, recall is
very similar for pictures and words, as both were encoded at deeper levels
(Nelson, 1976).
20
In developing this theory, Paivio used the idea that the formation of mental
images aids in learning (Reed, 2010). According to Paivio, there are two ways a
person could expand on learned material: verbal associations and visual
imagery. Visual and verbal information are processed differently and along
distinct channels in the human mind, creating separate representations for
information processed in each channel. The mental codes corresponding to
these representations are used to organize incoming information that can be
acted upon, stored, and retrieved for subsequent use. Both visual and verbal
codes can be used when recalling information (Sternberg, 2003).
Learners can structure a mental model when processing a picture initially
so that no further model construction may be required for subsequent processing
of a text. Presenting picture before text is beneficial to students with low prior
knowledge (Eitel & Scheiter, 2015). In a similar vein, reading a picture prior to
processing textual information improves comprehension levels for students with
low prior knowledge (Salmerón, Baccino, Cañas, Madrid, & Fajardo, 2009).
Pictures can be more effective than word translation for language learning when
individuals are not overconfident in the mnemonic power of pictures (Carpenter &
Olson, 2012).
Pictures have a significantly positive effect on four areas of
communication: attention, comprehension, recall, and intention/adherence.
Health education materials can benefit greatly by adding pictures as pictures can
be especially beneficial for people who lack literacy skill (Houts, Doak, Doak &
Loscalzo, 2006). Picture superiority effect can be implemented in creating
21
materials for health communication that inclusion of fearful or disgusting images
led to improved recognition memory in comparison with the condition without a
presence of image (Leshner, Vultee, Bolls & Moore, 2010).
This effect has been shown to occur in recognition memory tasks, where
items studied as pictures are better remembered than items studied as words,
even when targets are presented as words during the test phase (Defetyer,
Russo, & McPartlin, 2009).
More recent research in associative recognition shows support that
semantic meaning of pictures is activated faster than that of words, allowing for
more meaningful associations between items depicted as pictures to be
generated (Hockley & Bancroft, 2011).
Pictures have distinctive features that enable to distinguish pictures from
words and such discriminability increase memory ability in comparison with
verbal cues (Jenkins, Neale & Reno, 1967). Moreover, pictures in pairs or group
were better organized in our memory than words thus resulting in superiority in
recall (Pavio & Csapo, 1973).
Moreover, studies that have been conducted on abstract and concrete
words have also found that the participants remembered concrete words better
than the abstract words (Yui, Ng, & Perera, 2017).
Application Of The Picture Word Inductive Model Using Jerome S.
Bruner's Constructivist View Of Learning And The Cognitive Load Theory
(Perkins & Xuan, 2013). The PWIM is an inquiry-oriented inductive language arts
strategy, which focuses on early literacy. It is based on Calhoun’s (1999)
22
research and is designed to teach K-6 children phonics and spelling, explicitly
and inductively. The purpose of the strategy is to develop vocabulary word
concepts and paragraph and sentence structures in the general education areas
of mathematics, reading, science, and social science.
According to Calhoun (1999), one of the advantages of the PWIM strategy
is that it assists students in seeing and inferring patterns and relationships in the
language, which should enable them to apply and transfer this learning to novel
words. Another principle of the strategy is that students are given numerous
opportunities to make generalizations that will assist them in mastering the rule-
governed behavior principles of the language (e.g., draw generalizations).
The PWIM embodies Bruner’s role of structure in learning. This model
helps a learner bridge a transition between old and new knowledge by first
identifying what they see in a picture, which activates existing schema (old
knowledge). As learners engage in inductive thinking and review the picture word
chart, they bridge knowledge “encountered earlier and later” (Bruner, 1960).
Based on Bruner’s (1960) constructivist theory, the curriculum has a direct
impact on learning. Bruner (1967) developed the construct of discovery learning
and described it as an inquiry-based, constructivist learning theory, which holds
that learners use existing knowledge and past experiences to discover facts and
relationships. As a result, learners are thought to be more likely to remember
concepts and knowledge created or discovered on their own. Because the PWIM
is an inquiry-oriented strategy that is captioned under the rubric of discovery
learning, it is closely related to Bruner’s construct of discovery learning.
23
PWIM is a teaching approach based on Calhoun’s (1999) research on
early literacy. The fundamental tenet of PWIM is its use of pictures as a stimulus
for language experience activities in classrooms to teach young beginners
learning to read and write Inquiry-oriented induction is another key feature of
PWIM.
Joyce, Calhoun, and Hopkins (2009) gave a more detailed description of
the process of the PWIM where she named three specific stages in which
teachers are facilitators, questioners, and organizers. PWIM embraces the
development of visual perception, which is vital to children’s literacy acquisition,
in the following manner.
Joyce, Weil, and Calhoun (2009) showed how pictures may serve as
important stimuli for connecting learners’ life experiences to their language
learning in the classroom.
Calhoun (1999) defines the Picture Word Inductive Model as an inquiry-
oriented language arts strategy that uses pictures containing familiar objects and
actions to elicit words/ideas from children's listening and speaking vocabularies.
Basically this is a method which uses the advantage of picture as the learning
media in teaching and learning process. The method is designed to capitalize on
children's ability to think inductively. It takes advantage of student prior
knowledge and visual clues and builds on the key strength of inductive learning—
the brain's natural desire to seek out and remember patterns.
The picture word inductive method is used to help pupils develop as
independent learners and as independent readers and to foster confidence
24
based on knowledge that they secure for themselves as learners. One of the
strategies to teach writing is Picture Word Inductive Method which its main
activity is identifying and labeling all objects and activities on the pictures, and
generating ideas out of it.
Silitonga and Ernidawati (2010) stated that PWIM is as a model of
teaching that uses picture and words to stimulate students thinking inductively,
from specific thinking (see the pictures and words) into general thinking.
Memory Retention
Relationship between Memory, Words, and Pictures. Memory retention is
the mental faculty that enables one to retain and recall previously experienced
sensations, impressions, information, and ideas. The ability of the brain to retain
and to use knowledge gained from past experience is essential to the process of
learning.
Teaching with the PWIM involves pictures, memory, vocabulary
acquisition, hence the relationship between memory, picture and vocabulary
acquisition are discussed. Meanwhile, the PWIM cycle only lasted for a short
period of time, so the pupils’ ability to learn word forms and meaning were tested
in the short term. Hence, the short-term memory of the new words in terms of
pronunciations, spellings and meaning is related.
Glassman (2001) holds the view that memory has not been regarded as a
unitary entity. Several kinds of memories have been tested yet not all of them
proved to be relevant to language learning. Memory can be divided into three
25
major stages: encoding, storage and recall, namely immediate and active
retrieval of information stored.
According to Groome et al. (1999), recognition which represents the form
of memory appears to be relevant to young learner’s language learning. Different
presentation modes in different learning environments show that adding a picture
to a word might strengthen the comprehension and retention process (Tindall-
Ford, Chandler & Sweller, 1997).
Another researcher, Mayer (2003), claims that the results may come from
the fact that the picture makes retention easier by identifying previous experience
stored in memory, or alternatively, the word next to the picture reduces the
translation in accuracy. Namely, it makes the result more reliable. Learners with
high competence of verbal and visual have more advantages than learners with
low competence when facing simultaneous presentation of word and picture.
Riding and Grimley (2001) claim that in certain learning situations, some
learners benefit more than others from the simultaneous presentation of words
and pictures. According to Ainsworth (1999), when the task involves reading
comprehension and integration of information, pictures have been useful to
interpret text and construct deep understanding.
Amazing memory for images. More than forty years ago, studies revealed
that human memory (recall and recognition) for images is vastly superior to
memory for other modes. Pictures can be semantically categorized faster than
words. The recall and recognition superiority of pictures over text or auditory
content has been well documented and is called the picture superiority effect
26
(PSE). The memorial representation of pictures is in some way more elaborate,
distinctive, or meaningful than the representation of words (Hockley & Bancroft,
2011).
Multimedia Learning Optimizing Working Memory. The problem of Mayer’s
Multimedia Learning Theory tries to address is how to most effectively and
efficiently enhance the learning of students with low prior knowledge.
Multimedia learning occurs when people build mental representations from
words (such as spoken text or printed text) and pictures (such as illustrations,
photos, animation, or video). As you can see from this definition, multimedia
refers to the presentation of words and pictures, whereas multimedia learning
refers to the learner’s construction of knowledge from words and pictures (Mayer,
2014).
words alone, people learn better when words and pictures are physically and
temporally integrated, similar to Mayer’s spatial contiguity and temporal contiguity
principles (Mayer, 2014).
The present study focused on the effect of Picture Word Inductive Method
in enhancing the memory retention process of the pupils in English. This present
study was a descriptive action research that requires an immediate action and
specifically answers specific problems present in the classroom setting.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design used in conducting this study. It
contains the research method used, procedure and technique, research locale,
participants and sampling, the data gathering instruments, and the appropriate
statistical treatments of data to answer the specific problems.
Research Design
This study was a descriptive action research. Action research is either
research initiated to solve an immediate problem or a reflective process of
progressive problem solving led by individuals working with others in teams or as
part of a community of practice to improve the way they address issues and
solve problems. Denscombe (2010) writes that an action research strategy's
purpose is to solve a particular problem and to produce guidelines for best
practice.
Action research designs are systematic procedures done by teachers (or
other individuals in an educational setting) to gather information about, and
subsequently improve, the ways their particular educational setting operates,
their teaching, and their student learning. Educators aim to improve the practice
of education by studying issues or problems they face. Educators reflect about
these problems, collect and analyze data, and implement changes based on their
findings. In some cases, the research solves a local, practical problem, such as a
classroom issue for a teacher (Mills, 2011 as cited in Cresswell, 2012).

Research Locale
This study was conducted at Castillejos Central Elementary School (CES)
located at Brgy.San Juan, Castillejos, Zambales from November 2016 to
February 2017.

Participants and Sampling Technique
The study involved a total of thirty nine (39) Grade VI-Cepheus pupils:
twenty five (25) boys and fourteen (14) girls aging from 11-13 years old. They are
residing within the vicinity of Castillejos.
The study used the purposive sampling technique which implicates
deliberate selection of participants considered to be the most appropriate source
of data in line with the objectives of the study.
Research Instruments
The following are the instruments used in the study:
A. Teaching Plan
The teaching plan included the topics taught up and the objectives used while
observing the application of the picture word inductive method which are
obtained from the prescribed lessons given by the Department of Education
(DepEd) under the Basic Education Curriculum. It also included the teaching
strategies, instructional materials and the evaluation used.
The teaching unit refers to the topics covered by the pupils in the entire unit
during the third and fourth grading period meeting the content standards and set
objectives or learning competencies of the Basic Education Curriculum for
English 6 subject.
B. Pre-test/ Posttest
In order to gather a reliable and valid data to determine the effectiveness of
Picture Word Inductive Method among the Grade 6 pupils in English subject, the
researcher used a diagnostic test (Pre-test) / achievement test (Posttest). To fully
32
improve the pupils’ memory retention, they were also evaluated based from their
quizzes and recitations. The pre-test/posttest used was composed of 50 items
based from the topics covered for the Third and Fourth Quarter. It was based
from the BEC - PELC.
The English test was subjected to content validity by assessors and
professors to ensure the validity of the test. The test questionnaire was also pre-
administered to 20 pupils who have taken already the learning contents.
C. Formative Assessment
Quizzes and recitations were rated according to the total number of
correct answers. The scores in the quizzes and recitations were used as a basis
to evaluate the effectiveness of the method. The assessments of the
performance of the pupils in various activities were rated through rubrics.
Recitation was graded by the manner of answering questions and also the
level of the answer of the pupils. There was a prepared rating score or rubric
which was the basis used for grading the pupil’s answer.
Criteria for Recitation

Data Gathering Procedure
The data gathering procedure followed the following phases:
Phase 1. The pre-test was administered before the start of the unit to
determine the memory level of the pupils before the application of the strategy.
Phase 2. During the application of the strategy, the pupils’ performances
were evaluated by means of quizzes/activities both for individual and group
works.
Phase 3. After the application of the strategy, the posttest was
administered.
Phase 4. The results of the pre-test and posttest were compared to
determine the effectiveness of the strategy.
Application of the Intervention

The teaching strategy used in the study was the Picture Word Inductive
Method. The method was applied every English class discussion to check its
effect on the pupils’ memory retention. It has covered the entire teaching-learning
process. In conducting Picture Word Inductive Method, the following steps were
followed:
Select a Picture. Pictures are selected and prepared based on the
interest of the pupils.
Presentation. The teacher will present and ask pupils to identify what
they see in the picture.
Motivation. Use motive questions to catch the attention of the pupils.
34
Shake out Words. Through motive questions, words were shaken out of
the picture and generate ideas related to it.
Spring boarding. The pupils will generate ideas out of the picture and
construct a simple sentence. These sentences constructed were used as set of
examples that will be used in the lesson.
Data Analysis
The statistical tools used in the analysis and interpretation of data and
hypotheses testing include the following and were run through MS Excel
ToolPack 2013 and SPSS v. 20:
Correlated t-test computation. This was done to determine if there was
a significant difference between the scores in the pre-test and post-test of the
pupils in the class.
Frequency and Percent Distribution. This was prepared for a tabular
presentation of each result together with the computation of the mean and
standard deviation. It was employed to determine the frequency counts and
percentage distribution of the raw scores of the pupils.
Standard Deviation. Since the mean was chosen as the measure of
center, this was used to measure the spread of how far the observations are from
their mean. It is the square root of the variance.
Weighted/Arithmetic Mean. This was utilized to determine the average of
the results.

Chapter 4
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the findings of the study and their interpretation.
This includes analysis of the level of performance of the pupils based from the
tabulated results of the scores from series of administered test. Gathered results
were presented in a table to come up with a discreet comparison and were
interpreted here into.
Performance Level of the Pupils Before the Application of the Technique
The level of performance of the Grade 6 – Cepheus in English from the
previous conduct of teaching with Picture Word Inductive Method was reflected
by the result of their pre-test.
The pre-test as the first data gathering instrument was composed of 50
item test administered to the pupils to assess their level of performance and to
determine the capability of pupil in the different level of cognitive domain of
learning. Class performance was described using frequency counts and percent
(Refer to Appendix E to the results of pupil’s scores in pre-test).
Table 1

11-20 25 64.10 Below Average
1-10 4 10.26 Poor
Total 39 100 Weighted Mean: 17.3
Table 1 shows that 1 or 3% of the respondents were above average in
performance, 9 or 23% were in the average level, 25 or 64% of the class belong
to below average level and 4 or 10% in poor level, meaning the Grade 6 pupils
were below average of comprehension. From 50 item test, the highest score
obtained was only 33 and the lowest was 8. Using the fd presented, mean and sd
were computed 17.3 and 5.90 respectively (Refer to Appendix F).
The scores in their recitations were used to authenticate the efficiency of
the Picture Word Inductive Method (Refer to Appendix G for the pupil’s scores in
recitation).

Table 2 shows the graded recitation of the pupils. Graded recitation was
measured to determine the level of participation and thinking of the pupils. The
table indicated an increase from a mean score of 6.83 on the first graded
recitation, 7.86 on the second graded recitation, to 8.27 on the third graded
recitation (Refer to Appendix H). Consequently, the pupils’ recitation and memory
retention had greatly improved after using the Picture Word Inductive Method.
25
Proof from several researches supports the use of pictures as universal
stimuli to aid learning that provide a starting point for language sharing in the
classroom (Wood & Tinajero, 2002).
The scores in their quizzes were also used to measure the level of
improvement of the pupils while applying the intervention (Refer to Appendix I).

Table 3 shows the Frequency Distribution of pupils’ scores in three
quizzes. This shows the mean scores of the pupils in their three quizzes
increased from 4.78 mean score on their first quiz, 5.81 mean score on their
second quiz, to 7.91 mean score on their third quiz (Refer to Appendix J). This
proved that the pupils had an improvement in their quizzes after the intervention.
Research evidence claims that in certain learning situations, learners
benefit more than others from the simultaneous presentation of words and
pictures (Riding and Grimley, 2001).
26
Performance Level of the Pupils After the Application of the Technique
The posttest was administered to validate the efficiency of the Picture
Word Inductive Method (Refer to Appendix E for the results of pupil’s scores in
posttest).
Table 4
Frequency and Percent Distribution of Respondents’ Scores in the Posttest
Score Interval Frequency Percent Rating

31-40 24 61.5 Above Average
21-30 10 25.6 Average
Total 39 100 Weighted Mean: 34.22
Table 4 shows that 24 or 61.5% of the respondents were above average
in performance, 10 or 25.6% were in the average level, and 5 or 12.8%
performed excellently. The result showed that Picture Word Inductive Method
enriched the pupils’ memory retention. From 50 item test, the highest score
obtained was 48 and the lowest was 24. Using the fd presented, mean and sd
were computed 34.22 and 5.83 respectively (Appendix K).
According to Mayer (2003), picture makes retention easier by identifying
previous experience stored in memory.
Amount of improvement on the pupils’ memory retention was based on the
results of the pre-test and posttest. Table 6 shows the difference of the pupils’
performance between pre-test and posttest results.

Table 5 shows that there was an increase from 17.3 mean score of the
pre-test to 34.22 mean score of the posttest. The respondents belonging to
below average level in the pre-test moved up on higher scale in the posttest after
using the intervention. The mean score of the pre-test was half of the mean score
of posttest, meaning there was an improvement in the memory retention of the
pupils.
According to Tindall, Chandler, and Sweller (1997), different presentation
modes show that adding a picture to a word might strengthen the comprehension
and retention process of the learners.
Table 6 shows that the frequency of correct answers among respondents
improved in the posttest. There was an increase in the mean frequency of each
level on the cognitive domain. The findings showed that the improvement in the
formative evaluation affects the result in the posttest from pre-test.

Chapter 5
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter comprises the summary of findings as gathered, analyzed
and interpreted by the researcher and answers the problems found in the chapter
one. Conclusion was drawn out from the statistical procedures laid in the
previous chapter. Recommendations were also suggested with regards to the
use of the Picture Word Inductive Method in teaching English VI.
Summary of Findings
Based on the data gathered, the researcher was able to find answer to the
problems stated in the research.
1. Before using the intervention, the level of memory retention of the participants
were tested and found out that 25 or 64.10% of the class performed below
average level in the administered pre-test.
2. After the administered posttest, the result showed that 24 or 61.5% of the
class performed above average level.
3. The computed t-value of 27.05 was greater than the critical value of 2.024 (α =
0.05, df = 38). The null hypothesis was rejected, indicating a significant
difference on the memory retention of the Grade VI pupils before and after the
intervention.
Conclusions
Based on the data gathered, analyzed and interpreted, it could be
concluded that:
1. The level of memory retention of Grade VI pupils was low before the use of the
Picture Word Inductive Method.
2. The memory retention of the pupils has improved after using the intervention.
3. There is a significant difference in the memory retention of the pupils in
English before and after the use of the intervention.
Recommendations
Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommended the
following:
1. Picture Word Inductive Method can also be used in other subject areas that
require active participation.
2. Teachers can use Picture Word Inductive Method in any part of the lesson to
stimulate the interest and improve the memory retention of the pupils. Mastery
and competency of the teacher in using the Picture Word Inductive Method
shall be developed. The teacher can integrate and modify the use of the
intervention.
3. Further research may incorporate a study of wider research questions such as
the effectiveness of the picture word inductive method to learner’s visual
comprehension or learning engagement.

TREE OF HEAVEN
The tree of heaven is the common name for the Ailanthus Tree. It has long
compound leaves with many long, thin- pointed leaflets. It looks like the evergreen
fern. It can grow rapidly and strongly even in a little portion of a poor soil near the
sidewalk. The Ailanthus Tree blooms in June. Its flowers are small sprays of yellowish
blossoms. Some trees bear blossoms producing male pollen grains. Others bear
flowers with female pollen grains. The fallen leaf of an Ailanthus Tree leaves a gray
scar on the branch that is shaped like a shield.

THE FOOLISH DEER
Once there is a deer lived in the
jungle. It used to drink clear water
from a nearby stream. Whenever it
saw its reflection in the water, it
praised its beautiful horns. It felt
proud of its horns and disliked its ugly
and thin legs. It thought that its legs
were a shame.
One day as it was drinking water
and feeling sad for having ugly legs, it
saw a pack of dogs running towards it
at a short distance. The dogs kept on
chasing it. It ran as fast as its legs
could. Soon, it left the dogs far
behind.
Suddenly its horns were trapped
in a bush. It tried its best to release
itself but it could not. Its beautiful
horns would not let it move.
Meanwhile, the dogs reached there
