X–Box Method, Factoring Quadratic Trinomial, Self–Learning Module, Students PerformanceAbstract
This study aims to increase the performance of the grade 8 learners in factoring quadratic trinomials using the X-Box method. The participants were the 90 grade 8 learners of Claver National High School categorized into two groups: the control and experimental groups. The study's control group was provided with the school's existing self-learning module, while the researchers-made modules that discussed factoring quadratic trinomials through the X-Box method were distributed to the experimental group. Results showed an increase in the students' performance in the control and experimental groups after providing the learners with different modules in factoring quadratic trinomial. However, the experimental group showed a higher increase in performance than the control group. Thus, learners with researchers-made modules featuring the XBox method performed better than learners with modules used by the schools for the distance learning modality
