ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of teacher-made strategic intervention materials through instructional task performance and instructional supervision of the teacher in charge and to assess students’ performance in Mathematics 8 in Zambales National High School, Philippines. Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) is used in remedial sessions to focus on developing the learners' least mastered skills. It is a learning tool that assists students in mastering competency-based abilities that they may not have been able to develop in a traditional classroom setting. A quasi-experimental study design was used. Purposive sampling was used to select one hundred twenty-five student-respondents. For data analysis and interpretation, descriptive (frequency, percentage, and mean) and inferential statistics (t-test) were used. There was a highly significant difference for illustrating theorem on triangle inequalities, applying theories on triangle inequalities, proving inequalities, and proving properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal on the result of pre-test and a post-test score of the students in Mathematics when the competencies were taught. In light of the findings, it is recommended that Mathematics teachers must be innovative, imaginative, and creative in creating strategic intervention material to enhance the Mathematical skills of the students. DepEd officials may encourage teachers to utilize strategic intervention material as valid instructional material for teaching Mathematics, especially those difficult competencies or least mastered skills.
