abstract={This study explores the efficacy of a teacher-made intervention program along the development of scientific attitude among students. The researchers believe that scientific attitude should be in a continuum despite the pandemic by employing Predict Observe Explain (POE) strategy, hands-on science through home-based laboratory, laboratory simulation, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The Mixed Method design was employed in this study particularly the Exploratory design involving quantitative and qualitative data on the efficacy of the teacher-initiated intervention program along the effects of the treatment conditions on the scientific attitude and the experiences of the participants in undergoing such provisions of reframing learning engagements. The quantitative data were gathered through One Group Pretest-Posttest Design (OGPPD) of the Pre-experimental Design and evaluated inferentially through statistical analyses. On the other hand, the qualitative data were gathered through Narrative Analysis and analyzed thematically. It was found out that there is an increased positive attitude and a decreased negative attitude among the respondents which posted significant results while medium and large effects are posted along the positive and negative scientific attitude of the respondents. The provisions of Project <i>SIKAP </i>provided the students the feeling of enjoyment and excitement, experimenting through computer simulations, and difficulty in solving and experimenting in the midst of the pandemic; albeit guided with the computer simulations. Owing to the results, science teachers may still consider computer-mediated experiments ¨C a practical applications of learning concepts, as this is where students can better understand concepts in Science during home-based schooling like the current educational state.},
