Abstract
Teaching students nowadays is challenging not only for the teachers but also for the other stakeholders. The pandemic situation makes the teaching-learning process different from the old ways of delivering quality education. Even before the pandemic, there are challenges that the Department of Education faces as it reflects its performance in international and national assessments for learners. PISA 2018, TIMSS 2019, and NAT 2018 results indicate the poor performance of Filipino learners. With all these challenges, it shows that the need for intervention is necessary. Identifying the least mastered competencies is the first step in providing intervention that should start at the school level. The least mastered competencies should be from the most essential competencies since they aid the new normal way of delivering learning (distance learning). This study aimed to design and evaluated the Electronic Strategic Intervention Material (E-SIM) in a computer/phone application and use the evaluation result to improve electronic learning applications for the new normal. This study intended to help low-performing students improve their scientific thinking skills and help Science teachers reteach the least mastered concepts in science 7, mainly to craft electronic learning material.The researcher designed the E-SIM application and evaluated it with the science teachers from Rizal High School. The ADDIE model approach was used to evaluate the learning application. The result of the evaluation helped the researcher to improve the design. Then the development of the application was made through the help of an IT expert. The implementation was next conducted on the grade 7 students and evaluated based on their experiences using the material. An overall evaluation was given to teachers to know their experience in using the sim in their remedial class. Based on the evaluation results, the E-SIM application is engaging, colorful, and interactive, and it helps the students learn the least mastered competencies. In learning gain, the students were given a pretest and posttest as part of the implementation of the E-SIM application. There was a positive result since all the participants got higher post-test scores after using the E-SIM application. The result of this study can encourage teachers to make learning materials that they think are needed by their students since teachers are the one who has direct interaction with the learners. E-SIM can be shared in teachers' training, and it can also be the basis for other teachers who want to design their own E-SIM applications.
