Dexterous Support Materials in Grade Six Curriculum in Relation to Cognitive and Affective Development of Learners

This study was conducted to determine if significant relationships exist between dexterous support materials and cognitive and affective development of the learners according to teachers’ perceptions using the quantitative-descriptive and correlation methods. This was participated by 49 grade six teachers from the nine schools of San Roque District, Davao City. Results showed that the dexterous support materials in grade six curriculums were perceived evident in terms of printed materials, audio-visual and visual aids. The cognitive development and affective development of learners were also perceived evident. Therefore, significant relationship existed between dexterous support materials and students’ cognitive and affective development. It was also found out that dexterous support materials had significant influence to students’ cognitive and affective development.
