Abstract:
The success in making pupils productive and functionally literate in the future is \r\ncompromised with the inadequacy of learning materials and inappropriateness of \r\nactivities that are not within their level and context. This study aimed to develop and \r\nvalidate a Contextualized Science Workbook (CSW) that focused on 35 Science \r\ncompetencies from Quarters 1 to 4. The identified competencies were contextualized \r\nbased on the results of the Needs Assessment Survey of the 42 Science 4 Teachers of \r\nthe City Schools Division of Laoag, School Year 2017-2018. The workbook was \r\nvalidated by 10 evaluators using a Content Validation Checklist. Sequential explanatory \r\nresearch design was used in the study. The data were analyzed and interpreted using \r\nratios, weighted means and qualitative descriptions. Findings revealed that there are \r\nelementary schools which do not have 1:1 ratio of Science 4 Learner’s Material and \r\nGrade 4 pupils due to carelessness and increase in enrollment as revealed by school \r\nheads through an interview. The developed Contextualized Science Workbook was \r\nconsidered highly valid for use in the learning process. The developed and validated \r\nmaterial is therefore recommended for try-out to establish its effectiveness in enhancing \r\nScience performance among Grade 4 pupils.
