Supplementary Instructional Materials in Biology in Relation to Academic Achievements of Grade 7 Students Thru Enriched Module

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study determines the relationship of Supplementary Instructional Material in Biology to the Academic Achievement of Grade 7 students thru enriched module in San Jose Community High School -school year 2016-2017. More specifically, it seeks to find out the level of academic Achievement of the students based on the pre-test and post test results using Supplementary Instructional material in Science G7, traditional method (Control Group) or the use of Biology Module as supplementary Instructional Materials in Science G7 (experimental group)?

METHODS

The study focused on the use of Biology module as supplementary instructional material in Science as correlate to the academic achievement of grades 7 students. For the purpose of this study, the topics were taken from second quarter for the School Year 2016-2017. The subjects in this study were the Grade 7 students. For the Grade 7 students, the two (2) least sections.

RESULTS

The study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of modules as supplementary instructional materials in Biology.The mean value of the pre-test the of control group is 22.48 which in satisfactory, while experimental group in 22.70 which in satisfactory. The Post Test mean value of the Control group is 42.98 which is very satisfactory, and the mean value of the Experimental group is 47.00 which is very outstanding.The academic achievement of Grade 7 students in Science Control Group mean value of the Control group is 81.06 which is very satisfactory, while Experimental Group mean value of the Experimental group is 85.78 which is very satisfactory.The significant difference that existed between pre-test and post-test of Control Group, the Computed t-value of 22.78 which was greater than the critical value at 0.01, 2.326. Therefore, there was significant difference between pre-test and post test results of control group. Pre-test and Post-test of Experimental Group computed t-value of 5.56 which was greater than the critical value at 0.01, 2.326. Therefore, there was significant difference between pre-test and post test results of experimental group.

DISCUSSIONS

Teachers should provide effective materials such as modules to enhance the learning skills of the students. Teachers should prepare more suitable instructional materials to supplement instructions. Enriched Module / Activity in Science was proposed by the researcher and to be introduced to the G7 Science Teachers through In-Service Training and Science Department Training.
