ABSTRACT
This research is conducted in Grade Four Class of San Roque
Central Elementary School, San Roque District for school year
2014-2015.
To gather the data, the researchers used observation
method and interview method.
Using the observation method, the researchers found out
that

almost

75

percent

or

30

out

of

50

pupils

are

not

participating during class discussions. Some of them are doing


other activities or assignments in their other subjects than
participating in class discussions. Others are just listening
but do not stand or participate when their name is called.
Of the two Mathematics classes handled by

the

researcher, almost same situation was encountered.


When interviewed, most of them responded that they are
afraid that they might give wrong answers to questions which
might result to ridicule. Some of them said that they had a
difficulty in Mathematics. Others said that they are shy to stand
in front of their classmates.
The data has been collected and already interpreted by the
researchers.

the

researcher found out that giving rewards increase pupils class


participation in the discussion.
Letting the pupils participate

in

class

discussion

by

giving them rewards also increase their self-confidence. Almost


all pupils are willing to participate to get the reward. They
are motivated to study to get the correct answers. They become
interested and look forward for the next lesson.
Based on the result of the action plan implementation,
the researcher has come into a conclusion that lack of class
participation can be solved by teacher who exerted an effort to
have different rewards to reinforce pupils behavior inside the
classroom.

The

environment,

as

an

additional

factor

on

the

existence of the problem, can be in congruent with the learning


environment of the children.
The problem of pupils lack of participation can also be
solved by boasting the confidence of the pupils and praising them
every time they get the correct answer.
