{"abstract":"This study examines the effectiveness of the Expanding Horizon Approach (EH) in enhancing students’ retention of Araling Panlipunan concepts. The research was conducted at Matarinao School of Fisheries and employed a quasi-experimental design, where two groups of Grade 7 students were taught using different methods: the Squid group (control) followed the traditional teaching approach, while the Octopus group (experimental) was taught using the EH approach. Pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed to measure retention levels, and a t-test was conducted to determine statistical significance. The results showed that both groups demonstrated improved scores from pre-test to post-test; however, the difference in learning gains between the two groups was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that while the Expanding Horizon Approach may offer a slightly better structure for concept retention, it did not produce significantly better outcomes than the traditional method. The study recommends further research on long-term retention and other influencing factors such as student engagement and comprehension depth.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Benjie Gullan"],"date":"2025-05-19","doi":"10.70838/pemj.380107","id":5259,"issue":1,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"82da379ef292ca674711793806ff90b695f4fd049d8f726497063cece4baae15","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Effectiveness of Expanding Horizon Approach to Students’ Retention in Araling Panlipunan Concepts","volume":38}
