| Summary: | This experimental study investigates how effective programmed play activities are in enhancing self-esteem and academic achievement of underachieving children of St. Paul School, Makati. A program of play activities aimed at enhancing the self esteem and increasing the GPA of fifteen Grades IV and V students with low self esteem and academic underachievers, the Experimental Group, of St. Paul School of Makati was conducted. Another set of fifteen Grades IV and V students with low self-esteem and academically underachieving, the control group, were not exposed to the program. It was hypothesized that non-exposure to the program would result to non-enhancement of self-esteem and increase in GPA of the Control Group. The result shows that the programmed play activities enhanced the self-esteem of the Experimental group, while the control group's self-esteem did not improve. However, the GPA of both groups did not improve. |
