“E-Booksan Ang Kaalaman”: Development, Validation, and Utilization of Electronic Book in Academic Performance of Grade 9 Students in Social Studies

This study investigated the effectiveness of an interactive electronic book (E-book) for enhancing social studies learning among Grade 9 students in one of the Secondary School of Himamaylan City. The study aimed to address the challenge of low student interest and performance in social studies, particularly in the topic of "Sektor ng Paglilingkod." A quasi-experimental design was employed, with 31 students from Grade 9- Platinum. The study involved a pre-test to assess students' baseline understanding, followed by a four-week intervention period during which the E-book was integrated into classroom instruction. A post-test was then administered to measure the impact of the intervention. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' academic performance after the introduction of the E-book. The pre-test scores categorized students' performance as "low," while the post-test scores indicated a "very high" level of understanding. This dramatic shift suggests that the E-book intervention had a strong positive impact on students' academic achievement in social studies. The E-book's interactive elements, multimedia content, and personalized learning features were found to be highly acceptable and contributed to increased student engagement and comprehensionAction Research, Electronic Book, Instruction, Mixed Methods, Social Studies
