METHOD

A. Selection of the Topic

Reflection of Light emerged to be one of the least mastered

topics in the summative assessment of Unit II of the learner’s module.
Students failed to answer the question……….

B. Selection of the Respondents

Grade 10 students from sections 1 to 5 of Muntinlupa Business

High School who failed to answer on item questions about Reflection of
Light that fell on the least mastered skills of the summative assessment
of Unit II of the learner’s module were the subjects of study. One hundred
eighteen (118) out of two hundred ninety seven (297) h…….

concept enhancement adopted from the journal, “The Strategies
Intervention Model: A Model for Supported Inclusion at the Secondary
Level” by Tralli, et. al (2006). Furthermore, the content str…..
