SPCCPVA integrates concept cartoons and Photovoice into teaching science concepts, principles, and laws. One of the objectives of the study was to describe the nature of Student-Produced Concept Cartoons Photovoice (SPCCPV). The study also aimed to determine whether students exposed to SPCCPVA achieved higher mean posttest scores in Grit-S and Concept Understanding Test in Science (CUTS) than those exposed to the Conventional Teaching Approach (CTA). Additionally, it explored the relationship between grit and concept understanding. The study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest designed for three intact classes of Grade 7 students, where one group is exposed to SPCCPVA – photograph taken during class hours (SPCCPV-PC), the other to SPCCPVA – photograph taken as an assignment (SPCCPV-A), and the last group to Conventional Teaching Approach (CTA). It was conducted in a state university’s laboratory and science high school in the MIMAROPA Region during the fourth quarter of the school year 2019-2020. The researcher taught the three classes. The two instruments, the Grit-S devised by Duckworth (2009) and the research-made Concept Understanding Test in Science (CUTS), were used to measure learners’ grit and concept understanding, respectively. The CUTS was validated and pilot-tested before it was administered to the respondents. The internal reliability was also determined using Cronbach’s alpha. The nature of the SPCCPVs was characterized by function, type of representation, and way of representation. The study results indicate no significant difference in grit among the three groups. In contrast, there is a significant difference in concept understanding among the groups. Moreover, the Pearson product-moment correlation reveals no correlation between grit and concept understanding. Lastly, based on the findings of the study, the researcher concludes that SPCCPVA can be replicated to develop and strengthen students’ concept understanding. It is recommended that a parallel study be utilized for a longer period to confirm its effect on grit. Science Study and teaching (Secondary) Philippines MIMAROPA Region.
