SIM(STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIALS)

1. Strategic
Intervention
Material
(SIM)

2. ● First, lets us define what is a SIM...
 SIM or Strategic Intervention
Material refers to teaching aid introduced
into the teaching methods to stimulate the
activity of the students and thereby
increasing their level of understanding.
HOW TO DEVELOP STRATEGIC
INTERVENTION MATERIALS?

3. • Let us also define the word
INTERVENTION, operationally as it
was used in my research study, it
means that the learning of the
students is enhanced with the
integration of the use of Strategic
Intervention Materials (SIM) together
with the use of Science IV (Physics)
textbook.

4. The following are the
different Parts of the
SIM called Cards:
● 1.Guide Card
● 2.Activity Card
● 3.Assessment Card
● 4.Enrichment Card
● 5.Reference Card

5. Guide in Developing and
Reviewing Strategic
Intervention Materials
(SIM):

6. 1. Guide Card
 Gives a preview of what students will learn.
 Stimulates interest in the topic.
 Presents the focus skills.
a. Mentions the learning competency (LC).
b. States at least 3 sub-tasks (activities).
c. Builds on prior learning/ prerequisite skills.
d. Mentions the concrete outcome or product
students are expected to demonstrate/
produce.
 Cites briefly the activities.
 Challenges the learner in performing the
tasks.

7. 2. Activity Card
 Translates the focus skills into at least 3
activities.
 Provides activities that:
a. are organized based on the sequence of the
focus skills (in the Guide Card).
b. have clear directions.
c. provide examples to concretize the
concepts, particularly those drawn from real-
life experience.
d. students can complete independently, in
pairs, or in small groups.
 e. allow students to make discoveries and
formulate ideas on their own.

8.  guides and challenges students’ thinking and
learning.
 uses local data and situations (e.g., interacting with
people in the community).
 Provides transition statements that recognize
students’ accomplishments.
 Provides questions that:
a. guide the development of concepts/focus skill.
b. elicit the message or meaning that astudent can
take away from an activity/ experience.
c. elicit an explanation, not one-word answers.
d. establish the relationship between the
topic/lesson and what students already know or are
familiar to them.
e. develop the skills in the three domains.

9. 3. Assessment Card
 Provides exercises, drills or activities that
allow students to:
a. assess their understanding of what they
have learned and correct errors when
appropriate.
b. monitor their learning and use feedback
about their progress.
 Formulated in standard test formats to give
students practice in test-taking techniques.
 Gives clear directions.
 Provides an Answer Key (in a separate card)

10. 4. Enrichment Card
 Provides activities that reinforce the
content of the lesson
 Provides opportunities for students to:
a. apply what they have learned to
other subject areas or in new contexts.
b. work independently or in groups to
explore answers to their own
questions.

11. 5. Reference Card
 Provides readings that relate content
with students’ life experiences
 Provides a carefully researched list of
resources that:
a. will reinforce concepts/ skills learned
b. provide additional content not found
in the textbook
c. students may refer to for further
reading.

12. Other Parts
Title Card/ Cover Page
Introduction Card
-Statements that may relate the topics to something very
familiar with the students. Also include the scope of the SIM.
Objective Card
-This is where the objectives of the SIM are given. Builds on
prior learning of the students.
Answer Card
-This is the part wherein the correct answers in the Activity
Cards, Assessment Cards, and Enrichment Cards are located.

13. Take Note!
• Simplicity
• Easy to Understand
• Easy to Reproduce
• Consider your SIM is intended for
individualized instruction with
minimal or no supervision of a
teacher at all.
• Make it interactive, as if you were
taking to your students using your
SIM
