ABSTRACT
This Action Research titled Computer Aided Instruction: Combining Science Education And Entertainment For Ultimate E-Learning Experience is a descriptive-comparative research which will determine the differences and relationship on the levels of achievement and satisfaction in Science and Health 6 of the two groups of pupil respondents consisting of 15 members each when taught using the cooperative learning strategy and computer-aided instruction using the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Courseware in Science 6. The DOST’s courseware has a touch of entertainment while maintaining knowledge and challenge in science lessons. A copy of courseware in CD is attached at the back of this paper. This study is devised to enhance the level of achievement in National Achievement Test items mentioning the concepts of Nervous System, Ecosystem and Energy Transformation. The cooperative learning group will be taught using the conventional approach while the computer-aided group will be divided into three groups and each group will be provided with a laptop or computer unit wherein DOST courseware in Science 6 is installed.. Both groups will have 3 sessions and 3 formative tests right after each session. Each item of the 10-item formative tests will be constructed by the teacher using the multiple choice format. This will be used to determine the level of achievement. Scores will be collected and analyzed. Also, a survey method will be used to determine the satisfaction level of using cooperative learning strategy and computer-aided
