Modified Science Learners' Material: Its Effects to The Learning Outcomes of Grade 7-Burgundyat Linga National High School Year 2018-2019

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this action research is to determine the effect of Modified science learners’ materials to the learning outcomes of grade 7-Burgundy at Linga National High School for school year 2018-2019. The said modified module is the learning materials of grade 7 students which has Tagalog translation of procedures and questions. The idea of having Tagalog translation of Science Learners' Material has basis from the provision of Article XIV Section 7 of the 1987 Constitution which states that: "For purposes of communication and instruction, the official language of the Philippines is Filipino, and until otherwise provided by law, English. The researcher believes that instruction can be followed easily by grade 7 learners if learning materials are written in their mother tongue.

METHODS

This research used descriptive research design. The researcher looked into the relationship between the use of Science Learners Materials and Modified Science Learners Materials in the performance of grade 7 students. Data were gathered using questionnaire and recent results of assessments in Science. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tools.

RESULTS

The action research revealed the following findings: 1) Students’ Learning Outcomes-based on the data gathered, the MPS result of second periodical test has difference of 11. 22 as compared to the first periodical test. 2) For the significant effect-The P-value 6.20832E-08 is found to be higher than the tabular critical value which is 1.990847069. The findings therefore conclude that the null hypothesis is rejected meaning there is really a significant difference in then use of Modified Science Learners' Materials. 3) For the impact of modified science learners materials-based on the weighted mean, the modified science learners material has a big impact to the performance of the students because their answers always fall on the criteria MALIMIT/Often.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the findings of the study, the following discussions are made:

1.TheModified Science Learners material has significant effect on the learning outcomes of the students as shown in the table 2.

2. The researcher found it to have big impact to the students, either in group working activity or individual activity.
