Interactive Science Notebook: An Inquiry-Based Learning Strategy To Enhance Students Performance in Science Grade 10
This study will make use of descriptive method of research to determine the
a. Participants
The target participants of the study will be 40 purposively selected Grade 10 students of
Ramon Torres Malingin National High School who are officially enrolled during the school year
2018-2019.
To implement the interactive science notebook strategy, the following procedures are to
be followed:
1. The teacher will orient students on how to prepare interactive science notebook.
2. In each lesson facilitated by the teacher, students will creatively write, draw or design
something in their notebook that shows the details of the lesson. The students could include
3. Students’ interactive notebook will be passed to the teacher every week for checking.
4. The teacher will correct misconceptions written by the student’s in their interactive
5. The teacher could also write suggestions on how to improve the work of the students.
To gather the requisite data for this study, a 50-item test in Science 10 will be developed
by the researcher. It will be pilot tested to a separate group of students and will be subjected to
item analysis to guarantee the internal consistency reliability and validity of the test. The test will
serve as the pre and post assessment tool to be administered to gauge the Science
performance of the participants. The overall score obtained by each participant will be
Scale Interpretation
90-100 Outstanding
85-89 Very Satisfactory
80-84 Satisfactory
75-79 Fairly Satisfactory
Below 75 Unsatisfactory
d. Instrument
Data gathered in this study will be analyzed and interpreted using percentage and mean
as descriptive statistical tools to ascertain the participants’ performance in Science before and
after the intervention. On the other hand, t-test will be used to determine the significant
difference in the performance of the participants in Science before and after the intervention.
The participants’ overall mean percentage score of 80 and above will be deemed as
the basis for the intervention to be effective in enhancing the Science performance of Grade 10
students.
e. Ethical Issues
Prior to the administration of the instrument, permission to conduct the study will be
secured from the Office of School Principal and Class Adviser of Grade 10 students. Also,
consent from the parents of Grade 10 students will be secured before the participants will be
permitted to become part of the study. All data gathered in this study will be treated with utmost
