Abstract:

This study looked into the utilization of SPARK Science Learning System (SSLL) in Science Investigative processes to determine its effect in enhancing the integrated process skills of students. A quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test, research design was utilized to investigate the hypotheses of this study. Two groups were randomly assigned to be the experimental (SSLS) and the conventional group. Both groups were taught using the same modules. However, the SSLS group utilized the SPARK Science Learning System. After the six-week exposure the data that had been gathered revealed that utilization of SSLS in a science class enabled students to develop better integrated science process skills.
