INCENTIVE-BASED INTERVENTION
The study found out that the causes of absenteeism are physical disability or poor
health, followed by average grades, conflict situations, economically disadvantaged, early
marriage, psychological difficulties and broken family.
Based on the study, there is a significant difference between before and after the
incentive-based intervention among the Grade 12 EIM absences (t=12.497, p=0.000 < α
= 0.05). Moreover, there is a significant difference between before the incentive-based
intervention and after the incentive-based intervention among the Grade 12 EIM
academic performance (t=-16.037, p=0.000 < α = 0.05).
Therefore, the incentive-based intervention is effective to decrease the absences
and can improve the academic performance of the students. The attendance and
academic performance incentive-based intervention from the teachers include positive
comments, positive note home to parents, extra time at the computer, homework pass,
first-in-line privileges, snack coupons, individual or team certificates, name on
“attendance wall” in the classroom, chance to act as teacher’s assistant, pencils, pens,
stickers, bookmarks, and others. It implies further to be beneficial for students with poor
academic performance.
