Abstract:

This study focused on the facto rs affecting the students learning in g rade 9 science subject such the understa nding of learning objectives and outcom es, involvem ent to intera ctive lea rning, m onitoring of learning p rogress and application of learning com petencies. This stud y also addressed the problem s encountered b y the teachers in the delivery of learning objectives and outcom es, prom oting interactive lea rning approach, evaluation of lea rning throughout the course a nd utilization of lea rning m aterials a nd deliverables. The m ain purpose o f this study is develop an Intera ctive Com puter Aided Instruction Software for Grade 9 Science subject to help teachers establish learning and to increa se the students’ involvem ent with the subject itself. The descriptive research m ethod was em ployed to gather all necessa ry inform ation need ed in the developm ent of the system . It includes survey questionnaires that are ba sed on ISO softwa re quality chara cteristic to evaluate the system s’ functionality and effectiveness. The system was evaluated by 25 tea chers, 70 stud ents and 5 web -developm ent experts. The summ ary of findings revealed that the problem s encountered by teachers with rega rds to the delivery of the delivery of learning objects and outcom es, prom oting intera ctive learning approa ch, evaluating learning throughout the course and utilizatio n of learning m aterials a nd objects a ffects stud ents learning in term s of understanding the learning objectives and outcomes, involvem ent to interactive learning, m onitoring of learning prog ress a nd applying learning com petencies. This concludes the needs of the addition of interactive learning elem ents such as anim ated video s and sim ulated activities to help the stud ents im prove their learning and be m ore engaged into the subject. This also entails the availability of utilized lecture m aterials and relevant a ctivities to evalua te their learning as well as help them in their self -pa ced learning.
