Abstract:
This study examined the impact of instructional materials on the academic performance and class engagement of 63 Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) students at Divine Word College of San Jose. This study used a descriptive correlational design to describe and determine the significant relationship among the three identified variables. Findings reveal that instructional materials are highly effective in enhancing class engagement and academic performance, with composite means of 3.69 for effectiveness, 3.71 for class engagement, 3.70 for class participation, and 3.68 for homework activities, all categorized as “High Level.” This indicates that the instructional materials are well-developed, relevant, and effectively support students’ learning. The statistical analysis showed a moderate but significant correlation between instructional materials and academic performance. This suggests that well-developed instructional materials contribute to improved academic outcomes among students. The results revealed a strong connection between instructional materials and class engagement. This indicates that instructional materials’ presence and proper utilization significantly enhance students’ participation in educational activities. These results suggest that instructional materials are crucial in making learning more interesting, fostering student motivation, and improving comprehension. The study concludes that strategically using instructional materials enhances academic performance and class engagement. It recommends that teachers continuously develop and evaluate instructional resources to align with learners’ needs and maximize their positive impact on educational experiences. They may also promote using digital platforms and multimedia resources as complementary materials to traditional instructional resources. This accommodates varied learning styles and equips learners with the requirements of the 21st century.
