Least Mastered Most Essential English Learning Competencies of Grade 9 Students: Basis for Developing and Evaluating Electronic Strategic Intervention Materials

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

This study endeavored to develop and evaluate the Electronic Strategic Intervention Materials (ESIMs) in English based on the least mastered Most Essential English Learning Competencies of Grade 9 students at Ismael Mathay Sr. High School, Quezon City, during the school year 2022- 2023.Based on the findings, the two groups of respondents evaluated the developed E-SIMs as highly acceptable in all the following criteria: appropriateness, authenticity, comprehensibility, meaningfulness, usefulness, and technicality, as evidenced by the grand weighted means of 3.81 for English teachers and 3.83 for expert respondents, respectively. Likewise, the respondents described the developed materials as meaningful, interactive, and suitable for these can be effective in mastering the least learned competencies among the learners. They strongly believed that these would become effective for remediation purposes and may bring positive impact on the academic performance of the learners. Additionally, they suggested that the texts and audio in some parts play automatically to avoid overlapping of audio narration when two objects on the screen are clicked successively.
