Strategic Intervention Materials in General Physics 1 For Stem Students at Tanay District

Abstract

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Strategic Intervention Materials in General Physics 1 of STEM students at Tanay District based on the result of their performance before and after exposure to SIM. It utilized experimental design and qualitative analysis. It also used purposive sampling technique. The respondents were Grade 12 students of STEM strand from three (3) Senior High Schools in Tanay, Rizal. Weighted mean, Standard deviation, T-tests, and Qualitative Analysis were used in the study. For the level of performance, a substantial improvement in students’ performance from pre-test to post-test across all learning competencies and schools were noted. The overall mean increased from 2.48 (Unsatisfactory) to 3.87 (Very Satisfactory), indicating a marked enhancement in learners’ understanding of physics concepts. For the significant difference, the obtained p-value of 0.01 does not exceed 0.05 level of significance implicated that the developed SIM was highly effective in enhancing both conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking skills in physics. Based on the findings, the developed SIM served its purpose in enhancing both conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking skills in physics. It was recommended that the SIM should be regularly reviewed, updated, and contextualized based on the student feedback. For the advocacy plan, encourage to conduct professional development programs and workshops to equip teachers with the skills needed to design, adapt, and effectively implement SIM in their classrooms.
