Abstract :The K to 12 Science Curriculum aligned with the Department of Education vision -mission ensures that the student\'s educational experience is relevant and forwardlooking. This study was undertaken to establish the effectiveness of the Web-Based Advanced Teaching (WEBAT) Strategy in increasing students’ achievement and study skills in science 9. A quasi-experimental research design was used involving one intact class. This study was conducted for a period of six (6) weeks during the th quarter of the 2020-2021 school year at Muntinlupa Business High School –Main (MBHS-Main). Purposive sampling was applied to select the 48 Grade 9 students for this study (24 were the control group and 24 were the experimental group). It utilized two research instruments. The data gathered were interpreted quantitatively and qualitatively. The study\'s findings revealed a significant difference in the students\' achievement mean scores before and after their exposure to Web-Based Advanced Teaching (WEBAT) Strategy and a significant difference in the students\' study skills mean scores before and after their exposure to Web-Based Advanced Teaching (WEBAT) Strategy. Hence, it was concluded that the WebBased Advanced Teaching (WEBAT) Strategy as a teaching-learning strategy had improved students\' achievement and study skill in science 9. The evidence-based on the gathered data of Mean of Control Group and Experimental Group using paired t-test showed that both groups of espondents increased their academic achievements based on the post-test result in science 9, however, the experimental group of respondents who underwent and experienced the Web-based advance teaching (WEBAT) got the higher increase in academic achievement and study skill over the students who exposed only to the module. Overall, this strategy is created not to compare or compete with the existing modules provided by the Department of Education- SDO Muntinlupa but to help the educators/Teachers to make a better way to help the students to have a good grade even there’s a lot of unreturned and returned modules with no answers during this pandemic.
