ABSTRACT

Title : Forces and Motion: Basic Simulation in Teaching Physics

Researchers : Antonio C. Lañoza Jr. and Windel Raposas Nogot.

Adviser : Dr. Cherry C. Favor

This study was conducted in the Tagkawayan National High School. The data was

collected using pre-test and post-test which consisted of thirty item test to both control

and experimental group which were designed to determine the effectiveness of the Forces

and Motion: Basic Simulation in Teaching Physics. Particularly, this study sought to:

determine the achievement level of the students in the control and experimental group

based on their pre-test result, determine the achievement level of the students in the

control and experimental group based on their post-test result, determine the significant

difference between the achievement level of the control group and experimental group

based on the result of pre-test, post-test, and gain scores.

 xiv

The researchers gathered data were computed, analyzed and interpreted using SPSS. The

result given by the pre-test revealed that there was no significant difference between the

control and the experimental group with the interpretation as both fairly satisfactory

learner. However, the researchers found out that there was a high significant difference

between the control group and experimental in their post-test and gain scores. Thus,

Forces and Motion: Basic Simulation in Teaching Physics would improve the academic

achievement of the learners.
