VII. FINDINGS
1. The students strongly agree that during the first phase, they
are able to connect their past experiences with the new
problem presented. Furthermore, they are also led to
encouraging discussions among themselves, sharing personal
experiences which are very much related to the problem being
discussed. This puts into use the constructivist point of view
that students formulate schema based on their previous
knowledge and experiences.
2. Students strongly agree that they raise questions pertinent to
the problem to explore the relationships among the various
aspects of the problem. Furthermore, they also agree that they
keep on looking back at major concepts related to the problem
as they pursue their discussion. Students become more
emotionally engaged in the process because they themselves
are able to work on the problem without the interference of the
teacher. They have a sense of wonder as they explore together
looking at ways to solve it.
