ABSTRACT

The study aimed to improve the academic performance of Grade 7 learners in Mathematics through 5E inquiry-based supplementary video materials under the project Mathematics and Science Kit for E-Learning (MathSciKEL). The study used descriptive comparative research design since the academic performances of the learners were compared to draw a conclusion leading to the formulation of implications of the findings for the improvement of the learners’ academic performance. The significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores was measured using t-test for dependent samples. A total of one hundred sixty-one (161) learners participated purposively chosen by the researchers. The findings of the study reveal that (1) as evidenced by the poor pretest mean score, the learners were not yet ready and struggled to answer the assigned activities in the mathematics modules, (2) the use of 5E Inquiry-Based supplemental material in teaching Mathematics was ascribed to the enhanced mean scores in the posttest following the quarter, (3) the utilization of supplemental teaching materials based on the 5E Inquiry-Based methodology effectively improved Grade 7 students’ academic performance in mathematics, and (4) the institutionalization of the project Mathematics and Science Kit for ELearning allows for continuous planning, monitoring, and assessment of learners’ academic achievement in Mathematics. The study implies that in the New Normal, additional materials still needing with inquiry-based teaching and learning. Learning can be assessed in partnership with the community to guarantee that learners learn regardless of the current learning delivery modality.
