Abstract This study examines the effectiveness of contextualized simulation-games in enhancing the performance of Grade 10 students in Araling Panlipunan in the province of Samar during the school year 2024-2025. Given the challenges students face in understanding Araling Panlipunan, this research explores an innovative instructional strategy to improve engagement and learning outcomes. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, utilizing pre-test and post-test assessments to compare the performance of an experimental group exposed to simulation-games and a control group taught through traditional methods.
The study included a total of 70 respondents, with statistical analysis conducted using paired and independent sample t-tests. Results showed that while both groups demonstrated improvement, the experimental group exhibited a significantly higher increase in post-test scores. The paired samples t-test indicated a mean score increase of 18.057 for the experimental group compared to 7.600 for the control group. Furthermore, the independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference in post-test scores (p = 0.001), confirming the effectiveness of contextualized simulation-games in improving students' comprehension and retention.
The study concludes that simulation-games create an engaging and interactive learning environment that enhances student performance in Araling Panlipunan. However, challenges such as technological limitations and time constraints were noted. It is recommended that educators integrate this strategy into their teaching practices, provide adequate resources, and undergo training to ensure its effective implementation. Further research is suggested to explore its long-term impact on students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills
