ISA AND THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN SCIENCE OF GRADE 7

STUDENTS OF BALINTOCATOC INTEGRATED SCHOOL

ABSTRACT

Keywords: ISA (Interactive Science Activities), Games, Interactive Learning,

Individual Assessment

This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of employing differentiated

activities in Science. Interactive learning is a hands-on approach to help students
become more engaged and retain more material. With or without a form of
technology, interactive learning helps students strengthen problem solving and
critical thinking skills using Descriptive Quantitative Method. The respondents were
the Fifty-six (56) grade 7 students who are enrolled in this subject whose class
schedule is at 8:30-9:30 from Monday to Friday. Grades were tabulated and analyzed
using paired Sample T-test and Eta square. Results showed that the third and fourth
quarter grades of the students had significantly increased as compared with their
second quarter grades This further implied that the differentiated Science Activities is
an effective way in improving the grades and performance of students and is therefore
highly recommended for use by other Science Teachers
