Abstract:
Anchored on Constructivism Theory, this research aimed to determine the acceptability of the proposed Science Activity Workbook in Grade 8 Physics in boosting students' engagement in the lesson. The Science Activity Workbook focused on enriching the student's understanding of Physical processes and concepts in real-life activities using the available resources and materials. Using the quasi-experimental research design, eighteen (18) Science Teachers and nine (9) Science experts tested the acceptability of the Science activity workbook in Grade 8 Physics. Fifty (50) students in a private high school answered the pretest and posttest. The workbook was assessed as highly acceptable by the respondents based on the following variables: Introduction, objectives, content, application, evaluation, clarity, presentation, and usefulness. Since students can easily understand the application of Physics concepts if they can directly observe the processes, the proposed workbook hoped to meet the needs of the students for more effective and productive learning. Many Science teachers believe that Science workbooks are relevant to holistic learning thus, this study will be relevant for remedial classes as supplementary material for mastering the lessons, specifically in areas where most students are to fail. It is a significant aspect of teaching and learning processes as it will provide training in scientific areas and supply information to help the students gain attention and interest in manipulating the available resources.
