“HOW THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WORKS”

Prepared by:

INTRODUCTION
• ANALYZING AND UNDERSTANDING QUESTIONS IS ONE OF THE

SKILLS STUDENTS ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH. TEACHING AND
LEARNING SCIENCE SUBJECTS, ESPECIALLY BIOLOGY REQUIRE
KNOWLEDGE OF UNDERSTANDING OF STUDENTS. WE CAN ALSO
SAY THAT THE LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING OF STUDENT IS ONE OF
THE VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF EDUCATION.
• THE LEARNER’S MODULE WHICH IS ABOUT ORGAN SYSTEMS WERE ALREADY TAKEN UP IN
GRADES 6 AND 7. IN GRADE 6, THE STUDENTS LEARNED HOW THE DIFFERENT ORGAN
SYSTEMS WORK TOGETHER. IN GRADE 7, THEY WERE INTRODUCED TO THE LEVELS OF
ORGANIZATION IN AN ORGANISM OF WHICH, ORGAN SYSTEMS ARE BUT A PART. THE
STUDENTS WILL LEARN NOT JUST THE STRUCTURES OF CERTAIN ORGAN SYSTEMS THAT
WORK TOGETHER BUT ALSO THE PROCESSES THEY UNDERTAKE TO KEEP THE STATE OF
BALANCE IN ORGANISMS. EMPHASIS OF THIS SIM WILL BE ABOUT THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
• AS SCIENEC-8 TEACHER FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW, I HAVE OBSERVED THAT MOST OF
THE STUDENTS FROM REGULAR CLASS (HETEROGENEOUS), ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY IN
ANALYZING AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS EVEN IF IT IS ALREADY DISCUSSED. THE VERY
FACT, THAT MOST OF THE STUDENTS ARE STILL NOT GOOD WITH THE BASIC
UNDERSTANDING OF SOME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS USING ENGLISH LANGUAGE BUT THEY
ARE GOOD IN PICTURE ANALIZATION . THESE PROBLEMS FRUSTRATE SCIENCE TEACHERS
ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS ON TEACHING STUDENTS THE COMPETENCIES IN
DEALING WITH UNDERSTANDING QUESTIONS AND PERFORMING ACTIVITIES.
• THIS IS THE VERY MAIN REASON, WHY THE RESEARCHER HAS COME UP
WITH THIS STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIAL ON “HOW THE
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WORKS”, WHICH IS ALSO BASED FROM THE LEAST
LEARNED COMPETENCIES OF THE STUDENTS FROM THE 4TH QUARTER
RESULT (SY 2018-2019).
• THE RESEARCHER CONDUCTED A REMEDIAL TEACHING ON THE LEAST

LEARNED COMPETENCIES AND RE-ASSESSED THE STUDENTS USING THE
SIM WHICH IS MADE EASIER FOR THE STUDENTS TO LEARN THE BASICS,
ESPECIALLY IN ANALYZING AND UNDERSTANDING SCIENTIFIC
QUESTIONS USING PICTURE ANALIZATION
• METHODOLOGY
• PRE- ACTIVITIES
• THE RESEARCHER CONDUCTED THE FOLLOWING PRIOR ACTIVITIES:
• IDENTIFY THE MOST AND LEAST LEARNED COMPETENCIES

• IDENTIFY THE STUDENTS WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO GET THE PASSING SCORE
• CONDUCT REMEDIAL TEACHING; PEER TUTORING
• REVIEW OF THE PRE-TEST RESULT
• ON FEBRUARY 22, 2018 (FRIDAY)-THE TEACHER HAS CONDUCTED A PRE-TEST TO ALL GRADE-8
JADE STUDENTS ON HOW DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WORKS. THIS WAS DONE DURING THE ICL
PERIOD, AND WAS GIVEN DUE TO THE VERY LOW RESULT OF FORMATIVE TEST GIVEN ABOUT
THE SAID TOPIC. THE TEACHER HAS GIVEN 10 ITEM-TEST ONLY.
• THE TEACHER AT THIS POINT, STARTED TO CONSTRUCT A SIM ON THIS TOPIC, DUE TO THE
CONSISTENCY OF THE STUDENTS ON NOT HAVING PASSING SCORES TO THE GIVEN
FORMATIVE TESTS DUE TO THEIR DIFFICULTY IN PERFORMING BASIC SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS
AND IN UNDERSTANDING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE .
• IMPLEMENTATION
• THE RESEARCHER HAS IDENTIFIED THAT 24 OUT OF 44 STUDENTS FROM GRADE-8 JADE (BASED
FROM THE 4TH QUARTER TEST RESULT) WERE NOT ABLE TO ANSWER PROBLEMS CONCERNING
THE LEAST LEARNED COMPETENCIES WHICH INCLUDE:
1. EXPLAIN INGESTION, ABSORPTION, ASSIMILATION, AND EXCRETION.
2. IDENTIFY HEALTHFUL PRACTICES THAT AFFECT THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
• THE IDENTIFIED 24 STUDENTS WILL UNDERGO THE REMEDIAL LESSON GUIDED BY THE
STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIAL MADE BY THE RESEARCHER.
• THE RESEARCHER HAS ALSO OBSERVED THAT THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT NEED TO BE ASSISTED
BY THE TEACHER AND CANNOT WORK INDEPENDENTLY, AND THERE ARE STUDENTS WHO CAN
WORK WITH THE HELP OF OTHER STUDENTS OR PEER TEACHING.
• AFTER IDENTIFYING AND CATEGORIZING THE STUDENTS, ASSIGNED TUTORS WERE
GIVEN ORIENTATION BY THE RESEARCHER-TEACHER ON HOW PEER TUTORING USING
THE SIM WILL BE CONDUCTED.
• THE STUDENTS THEN PROCEED WITH THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIM WITH THE
GROUP AND THE TEACHER-RESEARCHER ASSISTED THOSE STUDENTS WHO NEED ONE
IS TO ONE APPROACH.
• AFTER PEER TUTORING, THE STUDENTS WERE GIVEN 20 MINUTES TO ANSWER THE SIM
INDEPENDENTLY.
• ON THE NEXT DAY, THE TEACHER ADMINISTERED THE POST-TEST (THE SAME ITEMS GIVEN
DURING THE PRE-TEST).
• RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
• THE RESULT OF THE PRE-TEST AND POST-TEST YIELDED THE FOLLOWING:

• THE PRE-TEST HAD A MEAN OF 3.166 AND AN MPS OF 6.332 .
WHILE THE POST-TEST SHOWED AN INCREASE IN THE MPS OF 18.25 AND A
MEAN OF 9.125 .
• THE INCREASE OF 11.918 IN THE MPS SHOWED THAT THE USE OF THE SIM
HAD AN EFFECT ON THE LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE STUDENTS IN
ADDRESSING THE LEAST LEARNED COMPETENCIES CONCERNING HOW
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WORKS.
