Abstract
-
Think-Pair-Share (TPS) has been recognized as an effective cooperative learning
strategy in improving students' confidence and participation in speaking activities in
English classes. This study examined the effect of the Think-Pair-Share Strategy on the
speaking participation of Grade 9 students in English class during the School Year 2025–
2026 in one of the public secondary schools in Ozamiz City. A one-group pretest-posttest
design was utilized through instructional sessions that incorporated pair discussions,
collaborative speaking activities, and structured oral communication tasks using the ThinkPair-Share Strategy. The participants were purposively selected and completed pretest and
posttest assessments on students' confidence in speaking English and speaking
participation, including cognitive engagement, affective engagement, behavioral
engagement, and motivation in speaking participation. Statistical tools such as frequency,
percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test were used to analyze the data.
Findings revealed that before the implementation of the Think-Pair-Share Strategy, learners
demonstrated fairly satisfactory confidence in speaking English and good levels of
speaking participation. After implementing the strategy, learners' confidence and speaking
participation improved to outstanding and excellent levels, respectively. The results further
revealed a statistically significant difference between the learners' scores before and after
implementing the Think-Pair-Share Strategy. These findings confirm that Think-Pair-Share
is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing learners' confidence, participation,
motivation, and engagement in speaking English activities.
