Abstract
Mathematics is one of the most challenging subjects for students. They consider it as a difficult subject, and most likely it is one of the subjects where students have low achievement level, and most of the competencies are difficult. SIM is a device for the benefit of both teachers and students. Its goals are to encourage students' interest, learn math concepts and skills, and apply learned skills and concepts into real life situations. In order for the teacher to make teaching and learning Mathematics easily understood by students; a Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) was developed in teaching Grade Two Multiplication.
SIM is an instructional material meant to teach concepts which are considered least mastered skills by the students. Moreover, SIM can be used to reteach material that many students do not understand. The selected topic of the SIM is discussed in the second grading period based on the learning competencies in Grade Two Mathematics.
This study aimed to provide an intensive and comprehensive aid for pupils at risk in acquiring Mathematical skills. This Strategic Intervention Material (S.I.M) entitled NAT-NAT'S MULTIP-TASKING was designed to 34 Grade Two pupils from Section 3 and 4 who are presently enrolled in Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School, Academic Year 2017-2018. On the other hand, the other group of respondents are the 3 Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) experts who are composed of Master Teachers and School Mathematics Coordinator. The respondents were sourced from the same school.
The study aimed to be beneficial to the pupils who will eventually benefit from the outcome of the study. Parents are also involved to benefit as they are concerned with the education of their children. Teachers, school administrators, and the Department of Education may find the result of the study helpful in planning and initiating appropriate strategic intervention materials in teaching Mathematics. Besides, it encourages teachers To be able to know the effectiveness of the learning material, the descriptive and one - group experimental method of research was employed in this study using the pre-test and post-test to gather data on the performance of the pupil respondents using the Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM). To evaluate the SIM, the three LRMDS experts assess the level of acceptability of the material.
From the data gathered in the study, was found out that the use of the learning material for Grade Two Pupil is effective. Based on the given result, using the S.I.M. had made a significant improvement based on the comparison between the pretest and posttest mean scores in the mastery of lessons in Multiplying Mentally 2,3, 4, 5 and 10 Using Appropriate Strategies. The LRMDS experts evaluated the developed SIM as highly acceptable for the learners. The pupils were able to learn the concepts in a fun and exciting way. Pictures, games and puzzles caught the interest of the pupils. The visual presentations made the pupils retain information and the process of learning
became spontaneous and interesting. This proves that the S.I.M. Is an effective tool in helping pupils learn and understand the difficult lessons.Thus, the study recommends that S.I.M. be developed on all the least- mastered skills in Grade Two Mathematics to improve the mastery of the different learning competencies. Teachers should prepare lessons with enjoyable and challenging activities which will help enhance the knowledge and awaken the interest of pupils to learn. Mathematics teachers can use the strategic intervention materials made by the researcher to re-teach the concepts and skills and help the students master the competency-based skill. The researcher should also consider the comments and suggestions offered by the experts to further improve the developed SIM. The School Administration should conduct seminars and in-service training about developing SIM as well as the division training regarding development and implementation of the strategic intervention materials in the classroom. And, the production of the developed SIM is recommended for funding by the Special Education Fund of the City Government.
