is used in teaching Science it is most effective in Learning Objectives with a weighted mean
of 4.46. They strongly agreed that flipbook if used in teaching Science will help the respondents
appreciate learning and develop their positive attitude towards learning science because they
can describe and explain their lesson. They strongly agreed that flipbook helps them retain the
content and recall their past lessons since they can collect and organize idea on Science when
their teacher used Flipbook on class discussion. They can draw the abstract idea they have in
science if their teacher used flipbook in teaching which also have a descriptive analysis of
strongly agree. Also, the respondents strongly agreed that if their teacher clearly communicated
to them the objectives of using Flipbook, they will more likely to achieve the presented goals
and can easily analyze the topic in science.

participate in class actively and encourages them to collaborate scientific concept.

1.4. Assessment of the Pupils Performance

The overall response of the respondents in terms of Assessment of the Pupils
Performance obtained the average weighted mean of 4.45 having a descriptive analysis of
STRONGLY AGREE.

The respondents strongly agreed that with the use of flipbook they can answer the questions
easily, respond to the recitation and increase confidence in class. They strongly agreed that they
can collaborate well in group activities because they easily understand the lesson with the help
of flipbook. They also believe that they saw themselves as an active learner in their class and
focused on their Science subject, if their teacher used Flipbook in teaching. They strongly
agreed that they can easily perform the task given by their teacher because they became an
independent learner in Science, every time their teacher uses Flipbook in class discussion.
Lastly, the respondents strongly agreed that they may know their strengths and weaknesses in
Science whenever their teacher uses Flipbook in class.

2. Among the four variables which are Content of the Materials, Instruction of the Science Subject
and Assessment of the Pupils Performance, the researcher found out that if flipbook is use in
teaching Science, it is most effective in Learning Objectives with an average weighted mean
of 4.46 and qualitatively described as “STRONGLY AGREED”.

3. However, none of the aspect of flipbook got the least effective because all of them stand out
with a descriptive analysis of “STRONGLY AGREED”.

CONCLUSIONS
In the light of findings, the researcher therefore concludes that:

1. The overall findings of Grade IV Pupils of Caridad Ilaya Elementary School, Atimonan,

1.1. According to the findings, the respondents strongly agreed that using
Flipbook in teaching Science is most effective in achieving the Learning Objectives.
Therefore the researcher concluded that Grade IV Pupils needs flipbook in learning for
them to appreciate more and to develop their positive attitude towards learning science.

1.2. The Grade IV Pupils of CIES strongly agreed that the effectiveness of flipbook can occur
in Content of Materials like life cycle of an animal and practice of safety precautions in
disposing waste materials that makes the lesson easy to understand. According to them, it
develops their critical thinking skills about motion, changes that matters undergo, how
take care of their internal organs, materials that undergo decay, properties of materials and
can reason out why fish can breathe on the water if their teacher use flipbook in teaching
Science.

1.3. The respondents strongly agreed if Flipbook is used as the Instruction of the Science
Subject, effectiveness can occur even it is the least. Therefore the researcher concluded
that, the teacher of the Grade IV Pupils may use Flipbook in teaching Science for them to
participate in class actively and encourages them to collaborate scientific concept because
they find it interesting if they use flipbook in learning.

1.4. According to the findings, Grade IV Pupils of CIES strongly agreed that the effectiveness
of flipbook can occur in the Assessment of the Pupils Performance. Therefore the
researcher concluded that, with the use of flipbook in teaching science they became an
independent learner that increase their confidence to answer the questions easily.

2. Based on the findings, flipbook is most effective in “Learning Objectives” if used in teaching
Science. The respondents believe that flipbook is effective in helping them to appreciate
learning and to develop their positive attitude towards learning science lesson. Also they
believe that flipbook helps them retain the content and recall their past lessons since they can
collect and organize idea on Science when their teacher used Flipbook on class discussion.
They can draw the abstract idea they have in science if their teacher use flipbook in teaching.
In addition, the respondents regard that if their teacher clearly delivered the objectives using
flipbook, they will more likely to achieve the presented goals and can easily analyze the topic

3. The researcher concluded that none of the aspects of flipbook is considered as least effective
because all of them obtained the descriptive analysis of Strongly Agree. Thus, it indicates
that if flipbook is used in teaching Science it is an effective educational technology.

According to Wambui (2013), 37% of the teachers of Kiine Zone Kirinyaga County Kenya
indicated that instructional materials help the learners to remember important information
which is very useful in supporting a topic and establishing concrete knowledge.1

RECOMMENDATIONS

The researcher further recommended the following:

TO THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS

● Provide adequate and enough instructional materials that could be helpful for the
teachers to face the different teaching challenges.
● Conduct seminars and trainings for the teachers to develop their teaching strategies and
techniques in promoting better learning with the use of different learning materials.
● Support or give assistance to the teachers in making flipbook.

TO THE TEACHERS
● Do not stop searching to find what are the appropriate instructional materials for your
