This study utilized quantitative methods with descriptive-inferential-evaluative design of research. Inferential statistics with researcher – made test and an adapted DepEd – LRMDS (Learning Resources and Management Development System) evaluation tool.

The developed contextualized learning resources or C-GAME was evaluated as highly acceptable and passed the evaluation of the experts using the standard LRMDS evaluation tool. Moreover, the utilization of the developed contextualized material improved the learning achievement of Grade 8 learners. This means the developed contextualized learning material has had a substantial impact on the academic performance of the learners. Therefore, there is a significant difference between academic performance before and after using the developed contextualized learning resource.
