Abstract:

This research study was conducted to investigate the effects of Learning Activity Sheets (ELAS) on the Academic Performance and Attitude of Grade 10 Science Students. This study was conducted at Silae National High School, District X of Malaybalay City Division for school year 2022-2023. Electronic Learning Activity Sheets every lesson of the five modules were made by the researchers with the following parts, namely; Objectives, Presentation of the Lesson, Practice Exercises and Evaluation. It is an electronic instructional material that aids in facilitating the lessons in the class. In this study, a quasi- experimental pretest-posttest research design was used. The participants of the study were sixty-one grade 10 students as experimental and controlled group. The researchers made electronic learning activity sheets in every lesson of the five modules of the third quarter identified as least mastered competencies during the 2022 Basic Education Learning Assessment (BELA). The developed lessons and the 30- item academic performance test in Science were evaluated and assessed by the panel of experts. Final material was made base from the suggestions and recommendations of the experts. An attitude scale adopted from Directo was modified and used to assess the attitude of students toward Science using electronic learning activity sheets. To determine the validity and reliability of the instrument, pilot testing was done in Grade 11 classes of Silae National High School with Cronbach-alpha of 0.863. The data were treated with the mean, standard deviation and one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.028 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that the post-test of the experimental group is outstanding compared with that of the control group which was very satisfactory. Moreover, the study reveals that there is a significant difference in the academic performance between students taught with ELAS and of students taught with conventional teaching approach. The study also reveal that the experimental group had very high positive attitude toward science subject. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the use of electronic learning activity sheets to improve the academic performance and attitude of students is effective.
