Development of Android-Based Strategic Intervention Material for Science 6

This study was conducted to put forward the development of an Android-based Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) that addresses the least mastered competency in the first quarter of Science 6. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed in this study using purposive sampling technique. Key informant interview was used to identify the least mastered competency. A focus-group discussion was also conducted to validate and triangulate the gathered data. Meanwhile, descriptive statistics were used to determine the level of acceptability of the intervention material. Four (4) expert evaluators were also tapped to assess and validate the practical utility and acceptability of the SIM. Results revealed that the recurring least mastered competency for the first quarter is on “classification of the different types of colloids”. Utilizing the ADDIE model, an Android-based SIM was developed. The level of acceptability for implementation of the Android-based SIM generally appeared as “good” in terms of technical, instructional, activity, content and significance. Hence, it is recommended that teachers should venture into designing intervention materials that are technologically assisted. Moreover, future studies may explore on assessing the effectiveness of the Android-based SIM in improving students’ performance on the identified least mastered competency.
