I conducted two different exams to two different class yesterday. Both exams were outcomes-based with few easy questions. I administered the exams differently.
Class A received relaxation technique (to relax their muscles and to make them comfortable) and positive self-affirmation (to feed their minds with positive thoughts and reduce the test anxiety) before I handed down the test questionnaires. I even asked them, "Papasa ba kayo?" and then they responded to me shouting, "PAPASA KAMI!"
Class B received the usual test administration. I killed the time and when the time was up, I asked someone to pray for the class.
Guess who performed better?
CLASS A.
Now, I will conduct the methods above to help them increase their scores.
Note: I read some articles about the importance of relaxation techniques and self-affirmation. I just tried this to improve my class. I know that I should support it with further studies but this is my own little way of improving my teaching skills and to validate the findings of what I found out from the literatures and studies.
Thank you.
