Abstract
This study aimed to determine the relationship between the perceived quality of strategic instructional materials and students' academic performance in MAPEH in Potungan District, Schools Division of Dapitan City, during School Year 2025-2026. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design involving 257 junior high school students. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire that assessed strategic instructional materials in terms of content, mechanics, organization, and overall package, while academic performance was measured through students' final grades in MAPEH. Weighted mean, standard deviation, and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze the data. Results showed that the overall quality of strategic instructional materials was very high (M = 4.01), with mechanics obtaining the highest rating, followed by overall package, organization, and content. Students' academic performance was outstanding (M = 4.31), with most respondents classified as very satisfactory or outstanding. However, the relationship between the quality of strategic instructional materials and academic performance was not significant (Spearman rho, p > .05). The findings indicate that although the materials were highly rated and students performed well, academic achievement may be influenced by other factors such as teaching style, motivation, home support, prior knowledge, and classroom engagement. It is recommended that DepEd officials, school heads, and MAPEH teachers continue validating and contextualizing strategic instructional materials, while future researchers examine additional variables that may explain MAPEH achievement.
