The participants were 50 Grade 12 students of ICT track. The study utilized a purposive sampling technique to determine its sample size. The results showed that Grade 12 students performed satisfactorily. Both pretest and posttest evaluations for the experimental group demonstrated satisfactory to very satisfactory outcomes. The strategic approach intervention led to a significant improvement in mean gain scores. There was a notable difference between the pretest and posttest results within the experimental group in information and communication technology.
