the

researcher to both the experimental and the control groups at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. Powerpoint

presentations

were

devised

by

the

researcher and edited by the committee composed of experts on instructional materials. This study employed the matched group sampling of Gaudencio V. Aquino. The finding of the study showed that the pretest of the control group was found to be low. It showed that those students

taught

using

the

traditional

method

lacked

scientific abilities in the subject. The

mean

score

of

the

pretest

of

the

experimental

group was also low indicating that students taught using computer-aided instruction lacked scientific abilities in the subject.

v Comparing

the

results

of

both

control

and

experimental groups, it was found out that the mean scores of pretest of the control and experimental groups did not have significant difference. This means that the two groups had similar mental abilities and that they are equivalent groups. The

posttest

was

given

to

the

control

group.

Its

result yielded an average academic performance. But there was an improvement in the control group, compared to its pretest result. The

experimental

group

was

given

and

the

result was found to be average. It means that there was an improvement
