Strategic Intervention Materials Using Lumi Education (SIMULE) and Students’ Conceptual Understanding and Procedural Fluency

John Mark  Gregorio | Janet Rabut

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

In response to the pressing need for innovative educational approaches, this research investigates the implementation of SIMULE to evaluate its impact on the conceptual understanding and procedural fluency of Grade 7 students. This study focused on utilizing SIMULE as an instructional resource in improving the conceptual understanding and procedural fluency of Grade 7 students at Lambayong National High School, School Year 2023 – 2024. A total of 89 students were the respondents of the study. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling and grouped using simple random sampling. This study employed a quasi-experimental design. The data were gathered using the researcher-made pretest and posttest. Mean and standard deviation determined the student’s concept fluency level and procedural understanding. T-test was used to determine the significant difference between the two groups' pretest and posttest scores and the mean gain scores. The study revealed that both groups had little mastery of the topics before the conduct of the study. In the posttest, both groups improved their conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. It revealed that using SIMULE and conventional teaching can help students improve their conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. However, students exposed to SIMULE performed better than those exposed to traditional teaching. Further, the learning gains were significantly higher in favor of the students exposed to SIMULE. Thus, the study recommended using SIMULE as an intervention material to improve students’ conceptual understanding and procedural fluency.
