Abstract

This study aims is to investigate the use and effect of the Modified Frayer Model in enriching science vocabulary of Senior High School students. The design of this study is a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The sample of this study is 60 Senior High School students of Quezon City Polytechnic University (QCPU). In both control (n=30) and experimental (n=30) groups, lessons in Earth Science were presented. Modified Frayer Model was used as instructional material in the experimental group. Independent sample t-test result showed that there is no statistically significant difference before the treatment. Paired sample t-test showed statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores for both control and experimental group. When posttest scores were compared, results revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups. As conclusion, the use of the Modified Frayer Model in teaching science resulted in a significant improvement in science vocabulary of students.
