Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study examined the level of academic performance in Science of Grade 5 learners in Dungan Elementary School, Cluster I, Division of Mabalacat City during the first quarter of School Year 2023–2024. Using a quantitative-descriptive research design, the study analyzed the learners’ first-quarter Science ratings to determine their overall achievement and identify specific areas of weakness. Frequency, percentage, and weighted mean were employed to describe the performance profile, while expert evaluation was used to determine the acceptability of the proposed support instructional materials. Results showed that the first-quarter achievement rate in Science was 81.75%, interpreted as an average level of performance, indicating that most learners have a basic yet adequate grasp of key scientific concepts and skills. However, notable learning gaps were found in understanding properties of materials, changes in materials, and designing useful products from recyclable solid and liquid materials. In response, contextualized support instructional materials were developed for Grade 5 Science and subsequently evaluated by experts in terms of content, quality of presentation, and physical make-up. The materials obtained weighted means ranging from 3.50 to 3.78 across all criteria, with an overall weighted mean of 3.59, qualitatively described as very acceptable. These findings suggest that the proposed instructional materials are pedagogically sound and potentially effective in addressing learners’ difficulties in Science, particularly in content areas requiring higher-order thinking and application. The study recommends the adoption and wider try-out of the materials, sustained administrative support for teachers’ material development initiatives, and the conduct of similar studies in other grade levels and contexts to validate and extend the results. Overall, the study underscores the crucial role of well-designed instructional materials in raising Science achievement and supporting competency-based instruction in the elementary classroom.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
