Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of a reward-based classroom management application in improving learners’ on-task behavior, a common challenge for pre-service teachers. Grounded in Behaviorist Theory and positive reinforcement, it explored how a reward-based system influences learner behavior. An explanatory single-case study with qualitative elements was conducted among twenty (20) pre-service teachers at Pedro Acharon Sr. Central Elementary School in General Santos City during the 2025–2026 academic year. Data were collected through pre- and post-intervention interviews over a 20-day implementation, where the application was used in individual and group activities. Before the intervention, learners showed low engagement, limited attention, disruptive behavior, and poor collaboration. After implementation, improvements were observed in focus, participation, task compliance, and behavior. Features such as rewards, immediate feedback, and visual design supported sustained attention and on-task behavior. The study concludes that the application effectively improves learners’ on-task behavior and supports classroom management among pre-service teachers. Therefore, it is recommended that school administrators, teachers, and pre-service teachers integrate reward-based digital classroom management tools to improve learner engagement and classroom behavior, while future researchers further examine their effectiveness in different educational contexts. Keywords: On-task behavior, reward-based classroom management, classroom behavior.

Abstract

 Mathematical word problem-solving is an important skill in early education however, many learners still struggle with numerical reasoning and reading comprehension. This study examined the effectiveness of the Digitized AGONSA Method in improving the addition word problem-solving skills of Grade 1 learners during the School Year 2025–2026. Using a single-experimental research design, thirty (30) purposively selected learners from Pedro Acharon Sr. Central Elementary School participated in the study. Findings revealed that learners improved from an “Emerging (Low Proficient)” level before the intervention to a “Transitioning (Proficient)” level after using the Digitized AGONSA Method. Statistical analysis also showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results, confirming the effectiveness of the intervention. The study concluded that the Digitized AGONSA Method effectively enhanced learners’ addition word problem-solving skills and may be integrated into classroom instruction. Hence, the study recommends integrating the Digitized AGONSA Method into classroom instruction with the support of administrators, teachers, and coordinators, as well as exploring its application in other mathematical topics, grade levels, and comparative studies.  Keywords: digitized learning, AGONSA Method, word problem-solving skills, addition, Grade 1 learners
