THE EVALUATION OF A MODIFIED STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIAL/S IN SOCIAL STUDIES AS A LEARNING TOOL IN THE NEW NORMAL OF EDUCATION

Abstract

The objective of the study is to evaluate the design, content, and substantial effect of the
Modified Strategic Intervention Materials (MSIM) in Social Studies made by the teachers and
was used by the Junior High School students in San Carlos San Luis National High School
(SCSLNHS) as a Learning Tool in the present New Normal Education. The research design used is
a mixed methods research approach. The instrument used was patterned to the evaluation
criteria of Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) of the
Department of Education (DepED). Random sampling technique was used in this study.
The quantitative result for the teacher's evaluation on the materials manifested that the
teachers were satisfied with the content and the beneficial effect of the material; however,
when it comes to its design, the rating was described as poor, indicating that the materials need
more improvement. On the other hand, according to the student's rating, students were
satisfied with the three (3) elements of the materials, the design, content, and substantial
effect.
Furthermore, based on qualitative analysis, the teachers encountered challenges and problems
in the production and in the evaluation of the developed materials, even with the students’
honesty in answering the tasks, and parents’ intervention. On the contrary, students’ responses
focused on the quality of the printed materials such as blurred images.
Moreover, to assure the quality of the MSIM upon its evaluation, a monitoring tool for the
production of the materials and feedback form is suggested to be used.
