Importance Of Information Processing

The researcher aims to use the Information Processing Approach in teaching Science to grade IX students. This study worked on Information Processing Approach in improving the achievement of the students in Science IX.

The study was conducted at Las Pinas East National High School during the first quarter of school year 2016-2017. Purposive sampling was employed in selecting the two sections in the study. The researcher gathered its data from the two sections in grade IX of Las Piñas East National High School handled by the researcher namely IX-Carbon and IX-Copper. The students from these sections served as the subjects in the study. The subjects used in the study were chosen because the researcher believed that they were of almost the same

The findings of the study may result to actions that may eventually benefit students by giving light to teaching techniques or strategies that will help them improve their concepts’ retention. The result of the study may give light to a better technique that might improve students’ performance. In addition to, more innovative approaches or strategies could be implemented considering the capacity or amount of information the brain can handle to avoid overloading of information that may at the end help them overcome their difficulties in the retention and retrieval of the concepts learned. They may become aware of the importance of activating their senses and memory in the learning process to effectively retain and retrieve learnings in the future. Teachers. They play a vital role in the development of the whole personality of the child. This study may help the teachers improve students’ retention of the concepts that may lead to an increase in the learners’ performance in Science by considering the learning environment and the teaching strategies that will facilitate directing student’s attention and perception of the incoming new information . In addition, teachers can make suggestions to students to activate working memory and give tips or ways to store information in the long-term

This comparison is used to better describe how information is processed and stored in the human mind. It views that the mechanism involved in computer- information processing is similar with how the human mind also process information. Just like a computer, input are encoded to give meaning and then compared with stored information. The human mind also work almost the same way as the computer, when a person is doing a task, its working memory, which is analogous to the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a computer is functional. In this process, both in the computer and in the human mind, the information is encoded, given meaning, and combined with previously stored information. These stored-information may be retrieved in the future when
