Abstract
This study on board work as a performance-based task and its effect to the academic performance of civil engineering students in calculus of Eastern Visayas State University is guided with the following objectives (1) to determine the pretest mean scores of civil engineering students in calculus specifically in terms of functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima., (2) to assess the posttest mean scores of civil engineering students in calculus specifically in terms of functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima,(3) to identify if there is significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores of civil engineering students in calculus specifically in terms of functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima, and (4) to identify the learning gains of civil engineering students in calculus specifically in terms of functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima. With the above objectives, the study made use of a single subject experiment pre-test post test design to a 30- class of intact heterogeneous First year civil engineering students. A total of teacher’s made 50-item test in calculus was administered. After which, the pretest mean scores in calculus of first year civil engineering students were found very low but after teaching it using performance-based task specifically board work, the posttest as academic performance of the first year civil engineering students in calculus has significantly increased as revealed in the posttest mean scores. The performance of the civil engineering students in calculus based on the results in pretest and posttest in five (5) topics such functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima has been found significant and it resulted to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Meanwhile, the scores gained by the students from the pretest to posttest in calculus specifically on functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima are evident with a significant increase in all areas
