Abstract:

To improve students’ self-regulation skills toward accomplishing science-related tasks and workloads, this study was designed to determine the effect of a science learning coach as an intervention program on student self-regulation skills. This quasi-experimental study determined the mean pre-test and post-test performance of Grade 10 students under the Special Science Curriculum. This research used a non-random purposive sampling procedure to select the respondents. The experimental group participated in the intervention program throughout the 3rd Quarter of SY 2023–2024, per the Department of Education calendar. The research instrument used in this study was a 35-item test questionnaire aimed at measuring the self-regulation skills of the respondents. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) using t-test for independent samples to compare the pre-test and post-test mean scores before and after the implementation of the intervention program, respectively, and using paired samples t-test to determine the difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of the experimental group. Also, an analysis of covariance was used to determine and evaluate whether the means of the dependent variable are equal across levels of a categorical independent variable. This research study revealed a significant difference in terms of pre-test and post-test mean scores before and after the implementation of the intervention program using t-test for independent samples. This also showed no significant difference in the experimental group's pre-test and post-test mean scores using a t-test for paired samples. However, using pre-test mean scores as covariates, it was revealed that there is a significant difference in the post-test results of tests between subjects.
