Enhancing Grade 10 Students’ Civics and Citizenship Awareness Using the Smart Bullseye Strategy

Araling Panlipunan promotes students' understanding of diverse histories and cultures. However, time constraints often prevent teachers from fully implementing flexible, student-centred approaches. This study aimed to enhance Grade 10 students' civics and citizenship awareness using the "Smart Bullseye" strategy during the 2024-2025 school year at a private institution in Ozamiz. The research utilized a single pretest-posttest research design involving 40 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a research-designed test questionnaire and analyzed using statistical tools, including mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Thus, the following are the key findings of the study: the level of students' civic and citizenship awareness before participating in Smart Bullseye Strategy fell under did not meet the expectations, the level of students' civic and citizenship awareness after participating in Smart Bullseye Strategy was outstanding, and there was a highly significant difference in students' civic and citizenship awareness before and after participating in Smart Bullseye Strategy. Implementing the Smart Bullseye Strategy significantly improves students' civics and citizenship awareness, promoting greater engagement and understanding. Educators may consider incorporating a range of effective teaching strategies to foster greater student engagement and improve their civics and citizenship awareness.
