Abstract
This chapter investigated the comparative effectiveness of interactive multimedia, simulation games, and blended learning on science performance of learners with special needs. The study adopted the pre-test post-test control group quasi-experimental research design. The pre-test was used to determine the prior knowledge of the learners. Three intact classes in three schools were assigned to the experimental groups “Interactive Multimedia Platform,” “Simulation Games Box,” and “Blended Learning Parcel.” The post-test was conducted at the end of learners' exposure to the treatment. The data collected were analyzed using t-test. The findings suggested that the use of blended learning enhances the performance of special needs learners better than interactive multimedia and simulation games.
