Development, Validation and Acceptability of Modular Enhancement Material in Science and Health 5

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The objective of the study is to develop and validate enhancement material in Science and Health 5 for the pupils of MarianoSan Juan Elementary School in the school year 2018 -2019.

The subjects of the study were the grade 5 pupils of Mariano C. San Juan Elementary School. A total of twenty -four (24) pupils were considered in the study, twelve (12) served as the experimental group and twelve (12) were in the control group.

Thirty(30) public elementary school teachers who are teaching Science were also considered as respondents of the study since they validated the acceptability of the developed enhancement material in Science and Health 5

METHODS

The study used the experimental and descriptive developmental methods of research. The study involves an experimental method of research to determine the level of performance of the Grade 5 pupils as revealed by their pretest and posttest results with respect to Disaster Risk Reduction -Related Topics in Science and Health 5.

RESULTS

The results described that the developed enhancement material in Science and Health 5 is highly acceptable by the respondents. Furthermore, there is a significant difference on the level of performance of Grade 5 pupils in the control group as revealed by the pretest and posttest results in terms of the The Male Reproductive System, The Female Reproductive System and The Development of the Secondary Sex Characteristics since the computed p-value is 0.000 is less than 0.05 level of significance. Also, there is a significant difference in the level of performance of grade 5 pupils in the experimental group as revealed by pretest and posttest results since the computed p-value of 0.00 is less than 0.05 level of significance.

DISCUSSIONS

The experimental group was taught using the developed enhancement material in Science and Health 5 while the control group was taught without using the enhancement material in Science and Health 5. After the conduct of the study,the posttest was given to both groups to determine the developed enhancement material in Science and Health 5. The data were tallied, analyzed and subjected to appropriate statistical treatment.
