Abstract :
Basic Calculus is one of the most significant
topics in pure mathematics, and students commonly fail
to grasp its concepts. Thus, the development of teaching
materials in Basic Calculus is essential to enhance the
performance of the students to make learning more
interactive. This study evaluated the learning skills of
Grade 12 STEM students at Ilocos Sur Polytechnic
State College in Basic Calculus particularly in
Differentiation part, which led to the creation of a
Developed Instructional Material. It made use of the
descriptive research design involving correlational and
developmental methods with a two-part questionnaire
as the data gathering tool. The 36 student-respondents
were chosen using the total enumeration technique.
Weighted mean and Spearman correlation were utilized
to analyze the data. According to the findings, the
respondents' level of technology-assisted resources at
home is relatively low. In addition, in terms of content,
style, and instructions, the developed instructional
material in Basic Calculus has a Very Acceptable
degree of acceptability. Furthermore, the adequacy of
technology-assisted resources had no effect on the level
of acceptability of the developed instructional material
in terms of content and style. Only the studentrespondents' level of acceptability of instructions, on the
other hand, showed a positive correlation. Finally, the
developed instructional material is deemed to be very
valid. The developed instructional material in basic
Calculus may be used as an instructional material and
that further studies can be conducted to continuously
explore possible pedagogical interventions.
