Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study which was funded by the BERF investigated the effectiveness of Learning Types of Circuit Connection in Science using the Strategic Intervention Material. An experimental research was employed using the comparison results during the pre-test and post-test. The SIM focusing on the least mastered skill were developed. Performance from this group were closely monitored and showed that there is no significant effect on the pre-test before the intervention and had significant difference in the post -test after the intervention. SIM can give the opportunity to explore various ideas and concepts that would enrich their understanding of varied subject matters that sharpens their competencies.

 

METHODS

This study used the following methods: 1.) Mean Percentage to compute the positive of Increase (+) /Negative of decrease (-); 2.) tabulation was used to determine the weighted average of pupils, table to be answered by the pupils.; 3.) A survey form of questionnaire was used to identify the significant effect of interventions conducted for the improvement of the least learned skill. This study used descriptive, comparative method of research in answering the problem on the improvement of Performance used on the Types of circuit connection as reflected on their general weighted average. A survey form of questionnaires was used to identify the significant effect of interventions conducted for the improvement of the least learned skill.

 

RESULTS

The 35 numbers of test takers assessment was based on their correct answers, then item analyses was made. Table 1 showed that only (6) six pupils got nearing mastery level out of 35 number of respondents and 29 pupils did not mastered the skill presented by the researcher without using the SIM activity handbook. Table 3 showed evident results that after the fully implementation of Strategic Intervention Materials activity handbook.

The table 5 showed the Mean and the Mean Proficiency Level (MPL) of the class in pre-test and post test result were reflected. The result of pre-test was very low as initial assessment of the class with the MPL of 38%. The result of post-test was very high with MPL of 90%. The difference of MPL, improved to 52%.

 

DISCUSSIONS

The result of the study showed that the use of Strategic Intervention Materials Activity Handbook (SIM) in learning types of circuit connection in science of grade five was highly effective and served as an innovation tool for the mastery of the lesson.
