The Use of Electronic Strategic Intervention Materials (e-SIM) in Teaching Science VI at Dangguinan Elementary School

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate The Use of Electronic Strategic Intervention Materials (e-SIM) in Teaching Science VI at Dangguinan Elementary School. Electronic Strategic Intervention Materials (e-SIM) address the least learned competencies among learners, especially in the higher grades. E-SIMs enhance student engagement, address learning gaps in science, and support ICT-integrated instruction through interactive, flexible, and data-driven learning tools that improve academic performance. Dangguinan Elementary School in Southern Conner District is a public academic institution located at Calafug, Conner, Apayao. There are 17 overall numbers of Grade VI pupils, and the respondents of this study. The study is made up of a pre-test, a post-test, and a one-group research design. It determined the pre-test and post-test performances of pupils in Science VI. The study used Electronic Strategic Intervention Materials (e-SIM) developed by the researcher to improve the performance of pupils in Science VI. Based on the result, there was a significant difference in the Science performance level of the Grade 6 pupils in the least learned competencies before and after implementing e-SIM. The p-value was found to be lower than the 0.05 alpha level, indicating a significant improvement in the performance after the use of e-SIM. Given these results, the integration of e-SIMs is recommended as a meaningful instructional approach that fosters interactive, learner-centered, and sequential learning experiences in Science education at the elementary level.
