The yTeach e-Learning System, a software created by 200 experts in Math and Science Education from Poland. It is classified as a Content Management System which stores, controls and publishes collection of multimedia materials such as for Science and Math. All lessons in yTeach E-Learning System are equipped with multimedia presentations which reinforce learning by providing audio and visual channels for the learner. The tools in this study were researcher-made and expert validated instruments: unit test and attitudinnaire. The first tool was a 30-item multiple choice test which covered FRDEP's standards for Genetics. The second tool was a 25-term attitude which contained statements regarding beliefs, feelings and actions towards the topic Genetics. The students used the four-Likert scale to rate each statement in the attitude survey. This research made use of purposive sampling. The samples were chosen based on various criteria. The criteria for the sampling methods were: First, the experimental group to the one most accessible to a 1.1 computer-student set-up: second, the members within each research groups and the groups as a whole should be homogenous; and third, research groups should follow the competencies as stated in DEP ED's BEC curriculum for Genetics. The social science were able to meet these criteria . The special science sections (II-Darwin and II-Descartes) of Colegio de San Juan de Letran were the respondents in this study. These sections were grouped homogenously according to their weighted average. For the descriptive analysis of research problems 1 and 2 which aims to get the level of students cognitive performance and attitudes towards Genetics; means and standard deviations were used. Related samples t-test was used to compare the pre and posted results on students cognitive performance and attitudes towards Genetics of the two research groups. Independent t-test was applied to compare the posttest results of the control and experimental groups cognitive performance. The study revealed a significant increase in cognitive performance and attitudes towards Genetics of the students in the experimental group. On the other hand, only the test scores or students cognitive performance of the control grouped was proved to be significant. This could be due to the students boredom in genetics under traditional teaching. The Control group only experienced activities that provide less interactivity and fun. There was a significant difference in favor of the experimental group's cognitive performance. This means that the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group. This proves that learning with interactive and sophisticated ICT such a yTeach eLearning System is better than learning without ICT ER -
