Abstract

This study aimed to develop a contextualized Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) in Science for Grade 6 learners at Tungao Central Elementary School, South Butuan District 2, Division of Butuan City, for the school year 2021-2022. Employing a quantitative research design, the study involved 91 respondents and two evaluators. The research instruments included four First Quarter Summative Tests, an Evaluation Instrument for Quality Assurance of the Contextualized SIMs, and an Evaluation Instrument for Content, Accuracy, Recency of Information, and Contextualization. Data analysis was conducted using frequency count, percentage distribution, and weighted mean. The findings revealed that the majority of learners did not meet expectations in their performance on the four summative tests. Specifically, many learners struggled with differentiating solutes from solvents, describing the appearance of a suspension, and explaining methods for separating mixtures through decantation and magnet use. The SIMs were designed and developed using guide cards, activity cards, assessment cards, enrichment activity cards, reference cards, and answer keys. These contextualized SIMs were evaluated based on quality assurance, content accuracy, recency of information, and contextualization criteria. Enhancements to the SIMs were made according to the validators' suggestions.

Abstract

A study aimed to develop a Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) in science for Grade 6 learners at Tungao Central Elementary School. Observations showed that many students struggled with core science concepts, specifically differentiating between solutes and solvents, describing suspensions, and understanding mixture separation methods such as decantation and the use of magnets. Student performance on first-quarter science tests was evaluated, with 91 learners participating. Two experts assessed the SIMs for quality, accuracy, relevance, and contextualization, leading to refinements. The developed SIMs include guide cards, activity cards, assessment cards, enrichment activities, reference cards, and answer keys. Results highlight the crucial need for context-specific educational interventions to address learning deficits in science. Incorporating contextually relevant materials can significantly enhance teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes. The contextualized SIMs offer a practical solution for improving student comprehension and performance in challenging scientific concepts, thereby contributing to more effective teaching and learning strategies within the local educational context.
