Effectiveness of developed worksheets to the academic achievement of students in science 9 concepts

The study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of developed worksheets as an instructional material for teaching specific concepts in science 9. In particular, the aim of the study is to analyze the evaluation ratings of the worksheets produced and the effect of its implementation. It also examines the significant difference between the respondents\u27 academic performances when supported by the developed worksheets. The primary instrument of the study is a standardized evaluation tool for printed materials from the Department of Education, Learning Resources Management and Development System (LRMDS) Office. Results showed that the validated worksheets are identified as appropriate and commendable by the validators. The achievement performance of the respondents has improved substantially. There is a significant difference between the students\u27 academic achievement using established worksheets compared to conventional approaches. In teaching Science 9 concepts, the developed worksheets are appropriate to use as a material and greatly enhanced the students\u27 efficiency

A JOURNEY FROM IB PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME TO MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMME: TRANSITION AND ALIGNMENT IN THE SCIENCE CONTEXT

In International Baccalaureate programme, the transition from the Primary Years Programme to Middle Years Programme is associated with various complex challenges which often results in poor science academic performance of middle year students. These challenges can be attributed from more than one area, such as from students, teachers and from curriculum perspective. To reduce the challenges, transition strategies were designed and piloted such as the demonstration and experimentation. The demonstration helped to align the students understanding of some scientific terminologies while the experimentation was conducted to introduce the simplified lab report design that provided the students with basic knowledge on the experimental processes in the Middle Years and guided the students on the consistent use of the Modern Language Association format of referencing. This article evaluates various transition strategies which were found effective to aid the middle year students during the transition stage.  Article visualizations
