Abstract

21st century students are equipped with different skills which should also be hone by teachers. Especially learning World History, it is the duty of the teachers to strategize different approaches and go beyond with the traditional method in delivering the topics. This study aimed to adapt new ways in teaching World History. The researcher utilized four differentiated activities to achieve the desired outcome of the study. These groupings were utilized by the teacher inside the classroom to improve the grades of the grade 9 students in the following quarters which is reflected to the teacher’s learning plans. The researcher used random sampling to determine the number of respondents for feedbacks and the grades that will be used for comparing the two quarters. In comparing the two quarter grades, it revealed that 90 % of the 40 respondents increased their grades implying that the differentiated activities were effective in teaching World History. Also, the feedbacks of the students while participating in the groupings were collated to see the actual engagement of the students in relation to the groupings they performed. The researcher concluded that it is effective to use this kind of differentiation of groupings in learning World History because most of the students increased their grades and to promote cooperative learning not only among students and with the teacher as well.
