Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of HYPOWHEEL Model on selected topics in Physics. The Solomon Four Groups design was used to assign the participants into four groups through stratified random sampling. A 30-item pre-test and post-test were administered to obtain the needed data. Only the experimental groups were treated with Hypowheel model in the instruction and all the four groups took the post-test. The data revealed that the performance level in the pretest of the control and experimental was the same at low mastery. However, after the treatment of Hypowheel model to experimental group and no treatment to control group the performance level (PL) in the post-test of both groups was improved. Further, the experimental group got higher PL and performed better than control group. Specifically, the performance level in the post-test along the topic energy transformation, work and heat, and power of experimental groups was described as moving towards mastery while the control groups generally described as at average level. In addition, there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test result. There was also a significant difference of post-test result between each group. Using Scheffe’s test, the difference lies between experimental group 1 and control group 2 with computed F of 22.83(Cohen’s d=1.79) and, experimental group 2 and control group 2 with computed F of 25.25(Cohen’s d=1.84). It recommended that the teacher and students may develop suitable instructional aids for physics instruction to enhance student’s level of competency. Hence, they may use Hypowheel model to help achieve better performance on the said topics. Findings also suggest the need to conduct trainings on innovation, recycling, investigative project, and further studies about Hypowheel model.
