Introduction
Many junior high school students face challenges
regarding their science subjects. One primary
reason for this struggle is that they often find
these subjects uninteresting and irrelevant. The
lack of interest can be attributed to uninspiring
teaching methods, outdated curricula, or the
failure to bridge science concepts with real-world
applications.

Statement of the Problem
Research no. 3
 Description of the Title
This study delves into educational effectiveness,
focusing on inclusive learning tools designed to
enhance knowledge and attitude among Grade 10
learners in understanding the intricate mechanisms
of the reproductive system. Inclusive learning tools
encompass resources, like brochures, that aim to
engage students and facilitate a deeper
understanding of the subject matter.

Research no.2
 Trends
Introduction These trends were evolving to enhance
the effectiveness of inclusive learning
tools for Grade 10 learners concerning
the reproductive system. The efficacy of
an inclusive learning tool to improve
knowledge and attitude among Grade 10
learners regarding the reproductive

TRENDS system is a critical issue in education.

 Issue
Introduction This issue encompasses various challenges and
considerations that Grade 10 learners must
address to successfully design and implement
such a tool. Adapting the learning tool to cater to
individual learning needs and preferences is
crucial. Students have varying levels of
understanding and learning paces, so the device
should be able to personalize the learning
experience to optimize comprehension and
ISSUE retention of information.
Introduction Objective

The objective of an inclusive learning tool to

enhance knowledge and attitude among Grade 10
learners regarding the reproductive system is to
provide a comprehensive and equitable learning
experience for all students. Encourage a positive
attitude towards reproductive health,
relationships, consent, and responsible behavior.

OBJECTIVE
Introduction Objective

By achieving these objectives, the inclusive

learning tool aims to enhance the knowledge,
attitudes, and skills of Grade 10 learners regarding
the reproductive system.
