DIGICOM (Digital Comics): A Tool in Teaching Formation of Elements in the Universe for Grade 12 Physical Science at Alicia Vocational School
Lovely S. Dela Cruz, Special Science Teacher I, Alicia National High School
ABSTRACT
This study focused on determining the effect of digital comics on the performance of Grade 12 learners in the formation of elements in the universe. A Quasi-experimental research design was used to get an insight into the effect of digital comics on the mastery of learners. Data were collected from 30 purposively chosen grade 12 students, where 15 students from each group were randomly selected based on the pre-test results. Based on the findings, the implementation of Digital Comics in teaching the Formation of Elements in the Universe affected the grade 12 learners’ academic performance. The two groups had an equal level of performance in terms of scores based on the pre-test before the intervention. However, the experimental group had significantly higher post-test (M= 12.13; SD=1.41) than the control group (M= 8.87; SD=1.46). It also indicated that the observed t-value (t= 6.24, p <0.05) was greater than t critical, so the null hypothesis was rejected. The experimental group outperformed the control group by using digital comics having a large effect of 0.58 (magnitude). It is recommended that Science Teachers can use this material to enhance learner’s mastery.
