Abstract

This study investigated the use of instructional materials on student engagement among intermediate pupils at selected school in Guiuan and Quinapondan, Eastern Samar in the school year 2024-2025. The research specifically examined the use of instructional materials on student engagement. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, involving a total of 80 intermediate pupils. The respondents in this study accomplished a questionnaire designed to determine the use of instructional materials on student engagement. The data gathered were tallied, tabulated, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Pearson's r was utilized to find out the significant relationship between the two variables of the study which are the use of instructional materials and student engagement
