Abstract
The academic performance of Public Administration students plays a major role in evaluating the acquired conceptual foundation of the students and understanding how this could be utilized in acquiring more complex concepts. This is true with the knowledge behind the PA 107-Administrative Law course for the third year students. It is a course about the nature, organization and legal basis of administrative agencies in the Philippines. In this study, the subjects perform below average before the utilization of graphic organizers as a learning tool. This is based on the 20-item pretest. Two weeks after the special instruction, a posttest was administered to the same students. A significant number of students perform in the average level. It is recommended that graphic organizers should be part of the paper-and-pen activity for the Public Administration students to improve their familiarization and retention of related concepts.
