Abstract: This study sought to develop the conceptual understanding of the students in Economics using the standard-based concept matrix as a strategy. The quasi-experimental research causal-comparative research method was used in this study. This involved 46 students from the Grade 9 level who were taking up Economics as a Social Studies subject during the School Year 2023-2024. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants for this research. The validated test papers in the third and fourth quarter periods are the main instruments utilized. This research found that students’ conceptual understanding of the topics during the third and fourth quarter periods was deepened. Using the standards-based concept matrix, the students collaborated to discuss the topics. A standard-based concept matrix must be partnered with group activities so that the students will be allowed to think about their answers and listen to their classmates’ answers during the process. There is a need to replicate this research with the pretest and post-test to confirm the efficacy of a standard-based concept matrix as a strategy in teaching Economics. The standard-based concept matrix can also be used as a form of assessment, not just as a strategy.
