Comic Themed Booklet Worksheet As Supplementary Materials in Physics

Abstract

Everyone needs to have access to education. No of the circumstances we are facing, it will always continue. Teachers will figure out ways to assist and guide students as they adjust to and learn about with this "new normal". All students may benefit from any learning style and supplemental materials provided by the teachers. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of acceptability of a comic themed booklet worksheet as supplementary material in physics in terms of content, adaptability, appeal to target user, and presentation; the students' mean pre-test and post-test performance; and significant difference in the students' mean pre-test and post-test performance.The population of the study comprised sixty (60) selected Grade 7 students who utilized the supplementary materials and twenty (20) science teachers from Pagsanjan Integrated National High School who validated the supplementary materials. The research instrument used in this study was Survey Questionnaire to be answered by the teacher and pre-test and post-test throughout the third quarter of School Year 2021-2022.From the data yielded from the instruments, the researcher came up with the following results. The acceptability of comic themed booklet worksheet in terms of content, adaptability, appeal to target user, and presentation was highly acceptable for the science teacher. They noticed that the topics and the learning objectives are aligned on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) for Grade 7 set by the Department of Education (DepEd) that will lead to the mastery of the targeted MELCs. The illustrations, the concept, terms and facts in the comic themed booklet are adequate to physics examples to help students understand the lesson easily. The supplementary materials match to the student's interest. It has dialogue that discusses the lesson and helps the students get involved in the science process. Students can adapt to the lesson from the comic themed booklet. It implies that the funny illustration and dialogues of the characters in the comic as well as the design appreciated by students. It helped them understand the lesson and develop their comprehension. The overall presentation found to be catchier for the students, because the themed was from a very timely and much known anime characters. This might help sustain the students' interest to continue reading each lesson in the booklet.Overall, the level of students' means performance in terms of pre-test and post-test as per the pre-test was fairly satisfactory. As per the post-test the result was very satisfactory. It means that the goal of the teacher to help using improve in their performance academically in physics has somehow achieved. The null hypothesis of the study "There is no significant difference in the students mean performance in terms of pre-test and post-test" is rejected. The researcher concluded that the comic themed booklet worksheet was a major assistance for the students in learning the physics concept and idea in improving their pre-test and post-test...
