Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of storytelling using technology–assisted instruction in solving
mathematics problems among grade III learners of Kabacsanan Elementary School, Iligan City, SY 2024-2025. The
study employed a one-group pretest-posttest research design and used a test questionnaire to gather data. Results
revealed that the analysis of the differences between the pretest and posttest scores of the participants demonstrated a
significant improvement in their performance. The mean gain score of 5.18 also reflects a measurable improvement
in participants' performance from the pretest to the posttest. A Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was conducted to assess
whether there was a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores among the participants. The
test yielded a p-value of < 0.001, denoting a highly significant improvement in scores following the intervention.
Thus, the analysis explored the connection between learners' numeracy scores and their attitudes toward storytelling
using a technology-assisted strategy intervention.
