Abstract
The purpose of the study
was to examine the effect of the developed computer aided instructional
materials (CAIM) to the academic performance of the students in Grade 7
Mathematics compared to the traditional teaching procedures. The respondents
for the assessment and evaluation of the research materials were the
Mathematics teachers and ICT experts of Cebolin High School-Annex and selected
Mathematics teachers form adjacent schools. There were five Math teachers, and
two ICT experts serving as assessors and evaluators of the research materials.
Math teachers validated the content, instructional and technical quality of the
CAIM while the ICT experts validated the technical quality of the CAIM. Grade 7
was a heterogeneous section composed of 30 students with 16 males and 14 females.
The section was divided randomly into two groups to compose the experimental
group and the control group, with 8 males and 7 females for each group. Both
groups were selected due to their equivalent academic standing and proximity of
class time schedule. The Mathematics class of the experimental group employed
the CAIM as an intervention while the control group used the traditional
teaching method using the Self-learning Modules in Grade 7 Mathematics. Four
(4) Modules namely, Module 1: Lesson on approximating the measures on
quantities involving length, weight or mass, rate, time, and angle and
temperature, Module 2: Lessons on solving problems involving conversion of
units from Metric system to English system and vice versa, as well as
converting the units to its similar units, Module 3: Lessons in Translating
English terms and phrases into its equivalent mathematical phrases and
sentences and vice versa, and Module 4: Lessons on illustrating and
differentiating related terms used in algebraic expressions and evaluating
these expressions when given values of the variables were covered for the
duration of the research and both groups were given pretests prior to the use
of every module. The administration of the posttest to both control and
experimental groups were given at the end of each module. Based on the findings
of the study, it concluded that the performance of the students in the
experimental group who utilized the CAIM within the context of
teaching-learning instruction was higher and more improved compared to the
students taught in Self-learning modules.
