Abstract

This study aimed to improve the level of reading comprehension of Grade 8 Science, Technology, and Engineering Program using Quick Response Coded Self- learning Module on Statistics in Research. Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions: (1) What is the level of reading comprehension of the Grade 8 STE in Statistics in research before and after the intervention; (2) Is there a significant difference between the levels of reading comprehension of the Grade 8 STE learners in Statistics in Research before and after using the Quick response Coded Self-learning Module; and (3) What are the experiences of the Grade 8- STE learners in using the Quick-response Coded Self-learning Modules in Statistics in Research. A quasi-experimental one-group design was used. The researcher adapted the intervention which is the Quick Response Coded Self-learning Module from the study of Supang (2021). The study found out the following: The level of reading comprehension of the 11 respondents before using the Quick Response Coded Self-learning Module are in the frustration level with the scores ranging from 5 to 9. After using the Quick response Coded Self-learning Module, the level of reading comprehension of 11 learners were moved from frustration level to instructional and independent level. The instructional level has a score ranging from 9-12. There are 7 learners whose reading comprehension level were moved from frustration to instructional, and 4 learners whose reading comprehension level were moved from frustration to independent. This implies that using the Quick response Coded Self-learning Module can truly help in improving the reading comprehension of learners
