Abstract:
This design research using ADDIE model(the acronym stands for analyze, design, develop, implement, and valuate) aimed to determine the least mastered content standards of the students living in the coastal areas and to develop a learning material that will enhance these content standards. The grades 7 and 8 students of a national high school in the 5th District, Province of Iloilo, Philippines were the respondents of the study. Using Mathematics Performance Test (the instrument was validated/reliability tested)conducted to the grade 8 students, it was identified that their least mastered content standards were understanding the key concepts of sets, understanding of the key concepts, uses, and importance of Statistics, data collection/ gathering, the different forms of data representation, and measures of central tendency. The developed experiential and situated worktext was implemented among the grade 7 students. Mathematics experts and teacher evaluated the worktext using the adopted evaluation form for printed instructional material of West Visayas State University, Philippines, while the students evaluated the quality of the worktext using the adopted student's evaluation form. The used of statistical tools like frequency count, percentage, rank, mean, and standard deviation were employed. The developed experiential and situated worktext was evaluated "very acceptable" by the experts and teachers while the students rated the material as "very good". Students enjoyed using the worktext and they began to develop good impression to Mathematics. Thus, it is recommended that the use of experiential and situated worktext be applied to high school Mathematics classes.
