Examining the Effectiveness of Integrated Learning Strategies on Science Mastery Level

This study examined the effectiveness of the integrated learning strategies on the mastery level in Science among Grade 5 pupils at Libis Baesa Elementary School, Caloocan City for the school year 2023-2024. Utilizing a quasi-experimental research design, the study involved Grade 5 pupils divided into a control group and an experimental group. Both groups completed pretests and posttests on the topic of Lunar Characteristics and Lunar Dynamics. The control group followed a conventional learning strategies, while the experimental group was subjected to an integrated learning strategies that focused on student-led and interdisciplinary approaches, engaging them in hands-on and inquiry-based learning. The findings revealed that the integrated learning strategies implemented with the experimental group improved student mastery compared to the conventional learning strategies used with the control group. These provide compelling evidence that the integrated learning strategies effectively enhance academic achievement and mastery in science among participating pupils, emphasizing its potential as valuable educational tools for facilitating comprehensive understanding and skill development. Finally, this study recommended expanding the integrated learning strategies to encompass additional science topics and possibly other subject areas, thereby fostering a more comprehensive and holistic approach to education that integrates diverse concepts and enhances students' interdisciplinary understanding and critical thinking skills.
