Importance of Strategic Intervention Materials (Sims) : Anicia J. Villaruel

Strategic Intervention Materials (SIMs) are instructional materials designed to re-teach concepts and skills that students have not fully mastered during regular classroom lessons. SIMs provide multifaceted support to help all students, especially struggling learners, become independent and successful. They are developed to align with learning objectives and provide guidance, activities, assessments, and references to deepen student understanding across subject areas. Effective SIMs include guide cards, activity cards, assessment cards, enrichment cards and reference cards that engage students and allow them to practice and apply their knowledge.

IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGIC INTERVENTION

MATERIALS (SIMs)

Anicia J. Villaruel
EPS 1, LRMS
Discussant
Strategic Intervention Material was defined by Bunagan (2012) as meant
to re-teach the concepts and least mastered skills. It is a material given to
students to aid in mastering the competency-based skills which they were
not able to develop in regular classroom instructions.

SIM is a multifaceted approach to aid the students, especially those who


are non-performing to become independent and successful learners.
Strategic Intervention Materials are conceptualized and
designed to aid the teacher in providing the learners the needed
support to make progress in their studies.

SIMs increase and deepen the skills, knowledge and


understanding of the learners in various subject areas not only
in science and math but also including various learning areas in
the curriculum.
SIMs give the opportunity to explore various ideas and concepts
that would enrich learners' understanding of varied subject
matters that sharpen their competencies.

SIMs tend to re-teach the lessons which are not so much clear to
the learners and to help them gain mastery of the skills.

SIMs guarantee alignment of activities with the tasks/objectives


As stipulated in the DepEd Order No.39, s. 2012, interventions have to
be made in order to address learning gaps. SIM is an instructional
material that is prescribed by the Department of Education to increase
the level of proficiency of students.

The use of Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) is identified as one of


the suggested various intervention forms that can bridge learning gaps.
SIM is a remediation aid for the students at the level of their
understanding and thereby increasing their academic achievement.
PARTS OF STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIAL

 
Strategic  Intervention Material contains five parts such as:
a. Guide card - stimulates the learners' interest on the topic discussed and gives
a preview of what they would learn.
b. Activity card - translates the focus skills in at least three activities
c. Assessment card - provides exercises, drills or activities that allow pupils
assess their understanding of what they have learned, correct
errors when appropriate, monitor their learning and use
feedback about their progress
d. Enrichment card - provides activities that reinforces the content of the lesson
and provides opportunities for the students to apply what they
have learned to other subject areas or in new contents.
e. Reference card - provides further reading to the learners

PART   A. GUIDE CARD
1. Gives a preview of what learners will learn.
2. Stimulates interest in the topic.
3. Presents focus skills.

2. Provides a carefully researched list of resources that:
a. Will reinforce concept/skills learned
b. Gives additional content not found in the textbook
d. Student may refer to for further reading
e. Provides readings that relate content with learners’ life experiences

Additional Points to Remember in Developing
Strategic Intervention Materials

1. Keep the activities short and simple.


2. Provide a variety of activities to cater to the diverse learners.
3. Provide number of activities so that the learner can have enough practice in
developing the skill and focus on the least mastered skills.
4. Ensure designs are attractive and eye catching.
5. Teachers are encouraged to use them in the teaching & learning process.
6. The benefit  of the strategic intervention materials is not only for the teachers’
convenience  and system in teacher but also for the easy grasp of the
learners
