Integration of a Localized STEM-based Learning Material in Teaching Typhoons for Grade 8 Learners
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study is geared towards developing a localized STEM-based learning plan for teaching typhoons to Grade 8 learners. The developed learning material would provide educators with an innovative strategy for teaching a science concept to achieve a more effective teaching and learning process. It would also help students to fully understand the topic and enhance their collaborative and problem-solving skills. Before developing the learning material, a needs assessment was completed by selected science teachers and students of different public schools in Iligan City including the target school. Likewise, the developed learning material was evaluated by the experts in this field wherein their comments and suggestions were considered in improving the material. Overall, the learning material was rated as excellent which guaranteed quality as an instrument of this study. Results also revealed that there is a significant difference between student’s pretest and post-test in their academic performance.
