Effectiveness of E-Instructional Material on Seasons and Eclipses

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Schools in contemporary times believe that the students should be the center of every educational endeavor. It is the main reason why the teachers as a facilitator of learning provide learning materials, activities, and interventions to help students fully comprehend the subject matter. In addition, as stated from R.A XIV Sec.3 the government envisioned that the state should establish, maintain and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the people and society.

METHODS

The study is mainly experimental in nature, the researcher employed statistical testing for hypotheses. The statistical tools used for the quantitative analysis of the data gathered as follows: Arithmetic Mean, Standard Deviation and T-Test

RESULTS

A satisfactory level of performance in the pre-test was shown by the students from Group 1 and Group 2, while, a fair level of performance was shown by Group 3. The outstanding performance was obtained by the experimental group 1 in the post-test while experimental groups 2 and 3 had a very satisfactory performance as manifested. A significant difference was noted on the students' level of performance, based on their pre-test scores based on the computed F-value. Significant differences exist on the students' level of performance in the post-test were noted based on the computed value. Likewise, a significant difference was noted on the pre-test and post-test scores of the students in the experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3.

DISCUSSIONS

An outstanding performance was obtained by the experimental group 1 in the post-test while experimental groups 2 and 3 had a very satisfactory performance as manifested. Significant differences exist on the students' level of performance in the post-test were noted based on the computed value. Likewise, a significant difference was noted on the pre-test and post-test scores of the students in the experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3. The researcher employed the use of interactive instructional material as a new teaching strategy showed a big difference between the pre-test and posttest of the students. It verified that interactive instructional material can cater to the different learning styles of the students.
