Reinforcement Strategies of Teachers and Academic Performance of Grade 6 Pupils in Selected Elementary Schools

Abstract

Reinforcement strategies play an important role in shaping learners’ behaviour, motivation, and academic achievement. However, despite their recognized significance, there is limited localized research examining their influence among elementary pupils in Cervantes, Ilocos Sur. This lack of local research makes it hard to know which teaching methods work best for pupils in this specific area. This study examined the reinforcement strategies employed by teachers and their relationship to the academic performance of Grade 6 pupils in selected elementary schools in Cervantes, Ilocos Sur.
