Abstract

Innovation skills such as creativity, empathy, experimentation, communication and collaboration are vital for the 21st century learners. Hence, this study determined the effectiveness of design thinking-based learning packet in enhancing the innovation skills of grade 11 learners. Descriptive statistics and t-test were utilized to look at associations between the pretest–posttest and survey questionnaire. The pretest and posttest results measured the effectiveness of the learning packet in enhancing the innovation skills of the learners, whereas the survey results were utilized to describe the students’ innovation skills. A content validation tool from the Department of Education was utilized to determine the level of acceptability of the learning packet before its usage. The findings indicated that the level of acceptability of the learning packet was very high which implies that the experts recommend its use. The survey results showed that students’ innovation skill is high while the pretest and post-test showed a significant difference in all terms. The findings suggest the use of design thinking-based learning packet as a supplemental learning material in teaching Physical Science to enhance the innovation skills of learners.
