Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Presently, most of Grade 7 students encounter difficulties in performing science-based activities such as observing, analyzing and interpreting data. They could not express themselves on what they are observing with their environment and even express results and data scientifically. Therefore, the researchers would create progress on how to bridge the learning gap of Grade 7 students through the formulation of strategic intervention material that would enhance students' science process skills in performing the activities. This study will be focusing on the science process skills and achievement level of selected grade 7 students in Cavite National High School.

METHODS

This study used a Pre-experimental design. It uses the four intact case study methods interpreting the significant relationship between the strategic intervention material and student's achievement. This study was conducted at Cavite National High School in the Division of Cavite City selecting a four intact class of Grade 7 Junior High School students. An observation checklist was employed SPS based. Developed and validated strategic intervention material and a 40 item Achievement test SPS based was used as an instrument for this study to evaluate the students' academic performance. The test was given as pre-test and post-test.

RESULTS

The results of the achievement test conducted by the researchers to the grade 7 students were the basis of creating and enhancing the student science process skills through strategic intervention materials, the t-test was used to determine the significant difference between the mean of the students' pretest and post-test scores in chemistry. The result of the t-test at (0.05 level) of significant was there is a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores in chemistry using strategic intervention material SPS based. A significant difference was obtained showing that the mean of the post-test scores was 21.43 is significantly higher than the mean of the pretest of 9.37. Based on the result of the intervention was to increase the achievement level in science processes skills of the students

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the findings of the study and conclusion, the use of strategic intervention material in teaching chemistry enhances the students' science process skills. This study can be administered to enhance the material. Developed SPS based strategic intervention material on the topic such as General Science, Biology and Physics (Forces, Motions and Electricity)
