ABSTRACT
LAGUNDINO, DIANA JANE T. Sarrat National High School, Sarrat, Ilocos Norte. January,
2017. Enhancing the Students Comprehension on DNA Replication and Transcription
Through the Use of Strategic Intervention Material.
This action research aimed to enhance the students comprehension on DNA Replication
and Transcription through the use of Strategic Intervention Material (The Blueprint of Life). It was
conducted at Sarrat National High School, Sarrat, Ilocos Norte to 32 Grade Ten Saturn. This
Pretest-Posttest Experimental Design study made use of a researcher made pretest/posttest
question to gather the needed data. The students scores in the pretest and posttest were tabulated
and analyzed using frequency distribution and weighted mean. T-test for two independent samples
was used to find if there is a significant difference between the mean of the pretest and posttest.
Results show that the use of Strategic Intervention Material titled The Blueprint of Life is
effective in enhancing students comprehension on DNA Replication and Transcription. When the
SIM is used in teaching Science, the students becomes interested in accomplishing the activities
because they can do it at their own convenient time. It is therefore strongly recommended that the
SIM should be used in teaching the concept on DNA Replication and Transcription to the Grade
10 students..
