Enhancing Students' Comprehension in General Biology I Through Interactive Learning Solution

This study aimed to enhance students' comprehension in General Biology I through interactive learning solutions. The study used purposive sampling, and 102 Grade 11 students under the STEM strand were selected because these were the only learners in senior high school taking General Biology I. A pre-test was conducted to check the participants' background knowledge and existing knowledge of concepts being taught in General Biology I. A pre-test was also performed to assess the respondents' knowledge before administering the primary survey. The material development was based on the least learned competencies identified through the Agusan del Sur Division's Internet-based Performance Rating System (i-PeReS) and administered to the experimental group. Results showed that students failed to master key competencies, such as mitosis, meiosis, and the ability to differentiate between various types of cells. The interactive learning solution was rated ‘Very Satisfactory’ for its content, instructional, and technical qualities. The experimental group got a higher total score in the post-test than the control group. The slow loading of the pages and limited interactions between the teacher and their peers were some of the challenges experienced by the participants when using the material. Interactive learning solutions are beneficial when used hand in hand with other techniques that address technical and participation difficulties.
