Abstract:
Abstract\r\n Quantum number was identified as one of the most challenging lessons in General Chemistry I, prompting the researcher to devise a novel teaching technique to aid STEM students who had difficulty with this subject. Students can master topics using manipulative, according to Furner (2020). A quasi-experimental research approach was used to investigate the influence of the Quantum Number Generator on STEM students\' performance. It involved 34 STEM students of Sinait National High School. Seventeen students were in group A, and the other seventeen students were in Group B. The tools used to analyze the gathered data are Mean and t-test for correlated and uncorrelated samples. The findings suggest that the teaching material has a Very High Validity indicating its utilization in teaching Quantum numbers. In addition, there is a considerable difference in STEM students\' Quantum Numbers performance after being exposed to the generator versus the traditional method. In Addition, Group A had higher pretest and post-test mean scores than Group B, indicating a significant difference in STEM students\' Quantum Numbers performance. As a result, the findings suggest that the method devised is effective in improving students\' Quantum Numbers abilities. The researcher then recommends the utilization of the Quantum Number Generator.\r\n
