Contract activity package (CAP) as motivational strategy in facilitating performance-based assessment

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Contract Activity Package (CAP) as a motivational strategy for performance-based assessment in the Ethics 100 course during the first semester of AY 2022-2023 at Bulacan Agricultural State College. The researchers utilized a total enumeration sampling method to determine the number of participants, consisting of three groups from the control group and three groups from the experimental group, all enrolled in Ethics 100 during the specified semester. In total, 273 participants were selected from the six sections. The study employed a True-experimental research design, using researcher-made Pretest and Posttest questions as the research instrument. The findings indicated a highly significant difference between the students' scores in the pretest and posttest when exposed to both the Traditional Approach and CAP. Additionally, it was observed that there was a highly significant difference in the students' scores when comparing the Traditional Approach and CAP. Furthermore, the study found that increased exposure to the CAP as a motivational strategy for performance-based assessment correlated with higher scores in the Ethics 100 class.
