Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In every school experience, there will be different problems in terms of the academic performance of the students and so, the primary goal of the teachers is to provide appropriate and effective instructional materials to students to meet the standards set by the Department of Education in implementing the K to 12 Basic Education Program. Helping students who are struggling in their subjects require teachers to choose an appropriate strategy and time for intervention, and without a systematic approach, this can be a challenge for teachers who have multiple students in need of help.

METHODS

This study used descriptive method of research. This study also utilized the strategic intervention material (SIM) as the main instrument to generate first hand data from the respondents. The data from the respondents were collected to determine the effectiveness of using strategic intervention material. The instrument was administered to the respondents by the researcher herself during her MAPEH Class. Each of the respondent was given an individual copy of the instruments. Directions in accomplishing the instruments were made clear and enough time was given to the respondents to ensure that the instrument is properly and correctly examined and answered as well.

RESULTS

The performance of the learners using Strategic Intervention Materials found out that the learning approach encourages learners to have creative and in depth understanding within the learning environment than traditional teaching. The study revealed that both controlled group and experimental group exposed to SIM achieved better. The use of the strategic intervention materials will be a big help to the students in order for them to find interest in every designed activity that teachers introduce to them.

DISCUSSIONS

The students who were taught with Strategic Intervention Materials had significantly better understanding of facts and concepts and were superior in applying this knowledge. The Strategic Intervention Materials contributed to better learning of the concepts among students. Furthermore, this material can give opportunityto explore various ideas and concepts that would enrich learner's understanding of varied subject matters that sharpen their competencies.
