Abstract:
This research investigates the effectiveness of Strategic Intervention Materials (SIMs) in enhancing the learning of Grade 7 students in biology at Gogon High School. By assessing the impact of SIMs on student comprehension, engagement, and retention of biological concepts, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the pedagogical strategies that support student learning in biology. This experimental research investigated the Pre-test results in biology, identified the intervention that the researcher prepared for the least learned competencies, determined the post-test result using the SIM, Determined the relationship between the pre-test and post-test results, and developed a SIM on the results of the Post-test. The researcher used the pre-test and post-test results to create the SIMs. The researcher utilized Spearman’s t-test to compare the types of Assessments mentioned. Analyzed data revealed a t-value of 5 % level, which is 2.64, with an interpretation of highly significant, suggesting a substantial relationship between the Pre-Test and Post-Test results. Competencies No. 3 and 6 had the lowest percentage of mastery level, which needed interventions. The increase in the student’s performance determined the effectiveness of SIM, and there is a significant relationship between the assessments. The recommendations encompass investigating targeted interventions, utilizing Strategic Intervention Materials (SIMs) to address weaknesses, optimizing student performance through tailored interventions.
