Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the effects of using contextualized materials in the development of most essential learning competencies in Araling Panlipunan of selected Junior High School students in a Private School in Gumaca, Quezon. It determined the profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, grade level. It also revealed the effects of using contextualized materials in the development of Most Essential Learning Competencies in Araling Panlipunan in terms of recall, association, multiple channels, and interest and motivation. The researcher used descriptive method of research. This study employed quota sampling technique. Under this procedure, the researcher considered using one hundred (100) respondents from the selected Junior High School students in a Private School in Gumaca, Quezon to get the 100% of the respondents. The findings revealed that most of the respondents are between 14 to 15 years old. The female respondents outnumbered the male population. Respondents were Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9, and Grade 10. This study found out that the average mean of 4.15 interpreted as Agree indicated that most of the respondents are strongly agreed on the effects of using contextualized materials in developing Most Essential Learning Competencies in Araling Panlipunan in terms of recall. Likewise, the average mean of 4.16 interpreted as Agree, indicated that most of the respondents agreed on the effects of using contextualized materials in developing Most Essential Learning Competencies in Araling Panlipunan in terms of association. The average mean of 4.29 interpreted as strongly agree, indicated that most of responmdents strongly agreed on the effects of using contextualized materials in developing Most Essential Learning Competencies in Araling Panlipunan in terms of use of multiple channels. It found out that the average mean of 4.23 interpreted as strongly agree, indicated that most of respondents strongly agreed on the effects of using contextualized materials in developing Most Essential Learning Competencies in Araling Panlipunan in terms of interest and motivation. Based from the results of the Kruskal Wallis H-test all the null hypothesis of age, sex, and grade level, are accepted which means that there is no significant difference on the perceived effects of using contextualized materials in the development of Most Essential Learning Competencies in Araling Panlipunan when respondents are grouped by profile. From the result of this study, the following were recommended: school administrators may conduct trainings and seminars for different intervention strategies to improve students recall, parents may monitor their children about using different strategies to apply in different lesson to practice and improve their recall, teachers may provide activities that will enrich their focus on recall so that learners will be updated on how to have good recall in the contextualized materials, students may practice different strategies to improve their recall and future researchers may conduct a parallel study which gives more emphasis on the effects of using contextualized materials in developing Most Essential Learning Competencies in Araling Panlipunan for the successful internalization of contextualized materials.
