DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

FORMAT
(FOR TEACHERS)

I. TITLE : STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIALS (SIM) IN SCIENCE IV

ENTITLED “ FINDING MODY”

II. DATE SUBMITTED :

FINAL REVISION ACCEPTED: ___________________

III. INTRODUCTION

Instructional materials allow the instructor to engage learners by supporting

concepts through the use of multimedia, including sound clips, video, images,
hands-on experience and interactive games. Materials offer learners the
opportunity to practice concepts and develop a product that demonstrates their
level of understanding. Consequently, those products are then used to evaluate
learners' knowledge. Instructional materials allow the instructor to support learners
with varying levels of ability and foundational skills by providing additional support.

Instructional materials are highly important for teaching, especially for

inexperienced teachers. Teachers at all levels utilize a variety of instructional
materials such as textbooks, presentations and handouts to enhance the quality of
their lessons. The quality of those materials directly impacts the quality of teaching.
Knowing how to find the best instructional materials is a valuable skill for a teacher
to have.

The importance of Instructional Materials or Educational resources is to

improve students’ knowledge, abilities, and skills, to monitor their assimilation of
information, and to contribute to their overall development and upbringing. It also
clarifies important concepts to arouse and sustain student’s interests, give all
students in a class the opportunity to share experiences necessary for new
learning, help make learning more permanent.

Grade IV pupils encountered problems in learning reproductive organ. They

seldom asked questions or express their views. Teacher should patient encourage
them to participate in the class discussion.
The SIM entitled “ Finding Mody” shows that there are more than one
million kinds of animals that vary in many ways. It will identify the parts of the
reproductive system of some animals; and describe the functions of the different
parts of the reproductive system of some animals. Different nimals completely
possess complicated reproductive parts and they differ on how they reproduce as
well. You will learn more about animal reproduction as you study the lesson in this
unit.

In my advisory class, I have encountered low achievement rate of 36.78%

on this topic, this is the reason why I constructed an intervention material in order
to give a chance to the pupils to understand the lesson. The identified pupils who
failed will be the subject of the intervention.

The instructional material will be given during their free time or remedial
classes. They can work independently, in pairs or in groups, it will be supervised by
the teacher.

There are varied exercises to answer. All the parts in making Strategic
Intervention Materials (SIM) are here. Variety of types of test were utilized such as
multiple choice, identification, crossword puzzle and writing ability.

In the Guide Card the pupils will be able to know the overview of the SIM. It
presented the topics/ skills to learn engage the learner’s interest and leads the
learner towards the performance of the tasks.

In the Activity Card, they will answer the activities based from the guide
card. In the lesson planning, this is the practice exercise. The task is competency-
oriented and may be an individual work. The purpose of the task(s) is to provide
enough practice for the learner so that he can perform the sill automatically.

In the Assessment Card, the pupils helps the learner measure his/ her
mastery level of the skills upon completion of the tasks. The result of the
assessment identifies the knowledge and skills that the learner may need to
enhance or develop further..

In the Enrichment Card, the pupils are provided with more challenging
activities in order to enrich their understanding and challenge their selves. Since
this is an intervention, the exercises are simplified. They can work independently, in
pairs or in groups.

The Reference Card is also included here. The pupils are provided with
additional content to the coverage in the textbook. It may also list the resources
that the learner may refer to for further reading.

Aside from the five parts, there are also hints, reminders, additional
concepts to read and the student’s notes where they can freely give their views on
what they have done.
At the last part is the key answer. This is provided to check their answers
alone and to get their honesty,
IV. OBJECTIVES

After the implementation of the Strategic Intervention Material in Science V,

the following objectives are gathered:
 Increase the achievement level of at least 80% level of mastery out of
the identified pupils needing remediation.
 Help the learners to develop a good conceptual understanding of the
content or skill taught
 Provide learning support to pupils who lag far behind their counterparts
in terms of school performance.
 Appreciate the content of the SIM
