ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of print and non-print strategic intervention materials (SIM) in improving the performance of grade 8 students in science. Employing the quasi-experimental research design, the researcher cascading the least learned skills of the students based on the 2nd quarter of the modules provided to the students, a 15-item multiple choice test per topic was formulated and given as the pre-test and post-test material. Moreover, print and non-print strategic intervention materials (SIM) were crafted and given as intervention after the conduct of the pre-test. Thirty-four (34) students were involved in the study. It was revealed on the table that the pre-test performance of the grade 8 students has a weighted mean of 20.94 which is interpreted as fair while the post-test performance has a weighted mean of 53.59 which is interpreted as excellent after given the print and non-print SIM. It was also revealed in the study that there is a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test performance of the grade 8 students in science. Thus, the print and non-print strategic intervention materials are proven to be effective in improving the performance of the grade 8 students in science. It is recommended that teachers should provide the students with print and non-print SIM as alternative learning materials to aid them in understanding the concepts in science to improve their performance.
