Abstract / Executive Summary
The Computer-Assisted Instruction is undertaken widely to catch interest and to improve student’s performance. This Descriptive and Quasi- Experimental research was anchored in determining the effects of the developed and validated Contextualized Interactive Multimedia (CIMM) to the non-equivalent groups of grade 8 students of Tanglag National High School in their Science subject. To determine the level of interest of the population toward Science subject, the researcher utilized a 10-item survey-questionnaire called Test of Related Science Attitude (TORSA). Additionally, a researcher-made pretest and posttest questionnaires were administered to determine the academic performance of the respondents. Findings showed that there is an increase in the academic performance and interest toward Science of the experimental group who was exposed to the CIMMs. Moreover, significant differences do not exist between the results of the posttests of both groups. However, a significant difference can be noted between the controlled and experimental groups’ attitude toward Science subjects after the implementation of the intervention. This study aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education, particularly in promoting inclusive, equitable, and high-quality learning experiences through the integration of technology-enhanced instruction. By fostering scientific interest and academic achievement, this research contributes to enhancing digital learning tools to support effective STEM education.
