Abstract:
Problem-solving is a complex process that is helpful in real-life situations and is also crucial in the teaching and learning process related to science, mathematics, and even engineering fields (Hamilton et al., 2022). However, the problem-solving skills of the learners have been observed to be on the decline nowadays, especially in learning problem-solving related competencies.\r\nThis two-group pretest-posttest design aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Contextualized Problem-Based Strategy (CPBS) instructional video in enhancing the problem-solving skills of grade 9 learners. The study was conducted in a public high school in the Philippines with 50 grade 9 learners from section 9- 17 and 9- 18 under the Basic Education Curriculum School year 2022-2023. Twenty-five (25) participants were assigned to the experimental group using the CPBS instructional video, and 25 learners in the control group were assigned the conventional lecture method.\r\nThe data were collected using a pre-test and posttest problem-solving test. The study results showed that the experimental group significantly improved their problem-solving skills after being taught using the CPBS instructional video. The control group, on the other hand, did not show any significant improvement in their problem-solving skills.\r\nThe study\'s findings suggest that CPBS instructional video is an effective way to enhance the problem-solving skills of grade 9 learners. The video provides learners with a contextualized problem-solving experience that helps them develop their critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.\r\n-K.G. Gascon Jr.
