Science Motivation and Academic Achievement in Physical Science Through Interactive Supplementary Instructional Materials Using Kotobee Author Application

The use of educational technology in the Philippines has been gaining attention in recent years due to the increasing demand for quality education and the advancement of technology. Technology integration as supplementary instructional material has been seen as a potential solution to address the challenges of traditional teaching methods. The present study aimed to enhance the academic achievement of students in physical science and science motivation to the use of interactive supplementary instructional material using Kotobee Author Application. The study used a Quantitative Research employing a Quasi-Experimental Research Design. Data were gathered using the Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ II) consisting of 25 items developed by Glynn et al. (2011), and a researcher-made 30-item achievement test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANCOVA and Pearson product correlation. The findings revealed that the use of Kotobee Author Application enhances significantly the Science Motivation and academic achievement of the learners. Moreover, results revealed that there is a significant relationship between the level of Science Motivation and academic achievement on students exposed to Kotobee Author Application. These findings provide a benchmark data on the effectiveness of developing interactive instructional materials to enhance content knowledge and motivation in a certain topic while learning in this new normal education.
