Abstract:

The researcher worked on the development, validation, and testing of the interactive electronic MetrobankMTAP-DepEdMath Challenge (e-MMC) review material for Grade 5 learners. As a result of this research, an offline mobile review material was made, validated, and tested. This material was used by grade 5 students in the Lopez East and Lopez West districts to help them improve their MMC test scores. Students in Grade 5 from both districts who got an average of 90 and above in Mathematics during their previous year and who might be interested in competing in MMC were asked to take part in the study. With the use of the Cochran Formula and a population size of 116 and 119, a total of 235 from both districts, a confidence level of 95%, and a 5% margin of error, the study used 147 respondents. This study employed three sets of research instruments intended for the development of the material, the validation of the review material, as well as a pretest and posttest for Grade 5 examinees of MMC, respectively. This research also utilized two statistical tools: the arithmetic mean used in the validation process and the paired t-test used in testing the significant difference between the pretest and posttest. After a thorough validation of the developed interactive e-MMC review material in terms of its content quality, instructional quality, and technical quality, the developed material was said to be very satisfactory and highly valid, with an average of 3.76, and is ready to be used as a review material by Grade 5 learners in improving their test scores in the Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd-Math Challenge (MMC). Based on the results of the pretest and posttest, which show that there is a significant difference between the results of Grade 5 learners in MMC, the null hypothesis is rejected. This means that the developed interactive e-MMC review material for Grade 5 learners is a valid way to help learners do better on the said test.
