Digital-Based Instructional Materials in General Physics 1

Abstract

The objective of the study is to determine the level of performance of Grade 12 STEM students before and after exposure to Digital-Based Instructional Materials in General Physics 1.  The study used descriptive, developmental and experimental design and was conducted at Tanay Senior High School during the SY. 2023-2024 with 26 student-respondents. Purposive sampling technique was used. The study utilized pretest and posttest found in the MELC with the least mastered skills topics found in the LOA results from 2 consecutive school years 2021-2023. The tests were checked and validated by teacher-experts in the field of science. Weighted mean and T-tests were used in the study.  For the level of performance, from 11.53 mean on pre-test with VI of S to 17.77 mean on posttest with VI of O, thus for the significant difference, the obtained p-value of 0.000 does not exceed 0.05 level of significance, the findings implicated that there is an increase in the level of performance of Grade 12 STEM students before and after exposure to the developed Digital-Based Instructional Materials in General Physics 1. Based on the findings, the study concluded that the developed Digital-Based IM in General Physics 1 offered different features such as experiments and activities that increased the interest of students as to increase also their performance. It was recommended for benchmarking in other schools, increased promotion of ICT integration and developed students’ mathematical and scientific skills.
