Science education has typically been unenjoyable for numerous students, resulting in low proficiency in the subjects critical concepts that relate to societal situations. To address this issue, educators have incorporated Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) into their instructional methods to stimulate students engagement and enhance their learning proficiency. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of SIM in enhancing the learning proficiency of grade 10 earth science students with poor academic performance at La Filipina National High School (LFNHS), situated in Tagum City. The use of SIM was the independent variable, while the level of learning proficiency of the grade 10 low performing students in earth science was the dependent variable. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized in this study, involving the collection of pre-test and post-test scores from the participants. The respondents in the research were grade 10 students who were enrolled at La Filipina National High School (LFNHS) during the school year 2020-2021. The data was collected using a standardized questionnaire created by the division. Mean, standard deviation, and t-test were used as statistical tools to analyze the data. The findings indicate a notable correlation between the use of SIM and the learning proficiency of grade 10 students at La Filipina National High School. These results signify that there is enough evidence from the sample to support a significant relationship. Overall, the outcomes of the study suggest that the implementation of SIM in grade 10 earth science has proven effective in boosting students learning proficiency.
