Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study aims to investigate the utilization of localized and contextualized Strategic Intervention Materials (LSIM) in improving the academic performance in Science of Grade Five pupils at David P. Jimenez Elementary School in Rosario Cavite.

METHODS

This study used Pre-Experimental method utilizing the one-group, pretest-posttest design. The chosen participants were 20 grade five pupils of David P. Jimenez Elementary School who were identified low in academic performance in Science. Data were collected using a standardized 20-item test.

RESULTS
