Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of concept mapping using the Frayer Model and semantic map graphic organizers in promoting academic performance in science. This was conducted in Alabel National High School, the grade 7 students were the subject of study. It was conducted in two groups: the control and the experimental groups. In the control group, students were taught the non-utilization of the Modified Frayer Model and Semantic Map of instructions while in this experimental group, the Modified Frayer model and Semantic Map approach was utilized; brainstorming sessions, increasing students’ vocabulary for comprehension by associating with new words related to science topics being studied are introduced into learning through graphic organizers inside the classroom and personal exploration of concepts or subject matter that helps them concentrate or focus on discussing science subjects course. After being instructed using the Modified Frayer models (MFM) and Semantic Maps (SM), the experimental group scored a mean of 41.04 (SD = 7.12) while the control group scored a mean of 16.68 (SD =7.55), with the t-value of 16.590 and a p-value of 0.000 which was less than 0.001. The outcomes revealed that the non-utilization and utilization of the Modified Frayer Model were both effective in enhancing the science subjects’ performance, however, in the experimental group science performance was higher as compared to those from control groups. Therefore, the null hypothesis states that there is no significant difference in the performance in the science of the subjects in the control and experimental groups after receiving the non-utilization of the Modified Frayer Model and Semantic Map mode of teaching and instruction utilizing the modified Frayer Model and semantic map graphic organizers were rejected.
