Alagadan Danilo V. Rogayan JrJonalyn C DacayoLearning materials aid in conceptual retention, stir learning motivation, increase academic engagement, and enhance student achievement. This study is a descriptive-evaluative research that described the science teachers’ assessment of the Grade 8 Science K-12 learner’s material produced by the state education department. The study was conducted in three government-owned secondary schools in Zambales, Philippines. The science teachers used a modified Learning Resource Assessment Tool developed by Prince Edward Island 2008 in evaluating the K-12 material. Results revealed that the learner’s material is satisfactory in terms of content, instructional design, and technical design. However, the teachers cited some problems encountered such as inadequacy of the materials for the learners, incongruence of the topics to the learning competencies, and lack of instructional time to cover all the topics. The teachers also laid some recommendations that can be forwarded to the Department of Education to review, refine, revise and re-align the learner’s material to make it research-based, relevant, and responsive to the learners' needs.... It causes students to be less sensitive and less critical of the surrounding environment. Education in schools needs to develop contextual teaching materials with the following criteria the content must be following the student's situation, provide learning that is relevant to real life, textbooks that are more specific than available on the market, and follow the current curriculum to meet future challenge [16] [5] [6]. ...... Content assessment includes a systematic presentation of content, actualization of facts or data, understanding of the topic based on facts and data, clarity in describing the content, and student understanding of the material presented. Learning about natural resources is never dull, mainly if it is supported by teaching materials that contain teaching material relevant to the environment and student surroundings [6]. The suitability with the student environment helps students understand the material, makes it easier for students to apply knowledge to the daily lives, strengthens students' memory, and increases students' sense of curiosity [17]. ...Students need teaching materials to support learning.
