Keywords:
Development, Validation, Comic Strip, Particle Nature of MatterAbstract
This study developed and validated a comic strip teaching material on particle nature of matter in the District of Jiabong, Division of Samar during the school year 2018-2019. This research is quantitative in nature. The output of this study is particle nature of matter comic strip for Grade 8 students. The topic about particle nature of matter in the Curriculum Guide were the input variables. The researcher developed a comic strip and it was validated through expert validation by the three chemistry professors of Samar State University. It also utilized quasi-experimental research design using Pre-Test Post-Test Mean Game to investigate the differentiation in students’ conceptual understanding of the particle nature of matter. Based from the assessments of expert in chemistry the contents of the comic strip are found to be valid with overall mean 4.67. The mean score for appropriateness obtained by the comic strip was calculated at 4.67 which can be interpreted as very highly adequate. The acceptability of the comic strip teaching material was found to have a very high extent of acceptability with overall mean of 4.56. In terms of relevance and usability it has weighted mean of 4.67 which can be interpreted as very highly relevant and very useful while the weighted mean for efficiency is 4.33 which can be interpreted as highly efficient. This implies that the developed and validated comic strip teaching material greatly affect the performance of the students in the class; the result also signifies that students were able to learn the lesson easily through the use of comics.
