High Impact Reading-Writing: Development of ICT- Based Enhancement Material for Grade 7

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

This research study is focused on developing an interactive reading comprehension material that is ICT-based for English 7 classes that can serve as an enhancement or intervention activity. It is centered in developing the material, testing, and finalizing along the Phil-IRI standardized materials. In this study, the researcher employed the Design and Development Research employing the survey questionnaire through google forms, purposive sampling, and the ADDIE model of instructional material development. The findings revealed that developed material is centered on the needs of the students that are primarily knowledge of the language structure, vocabulary development and monitoring of comprehension with WAM of 3.79-3.74 described as strongly needed; the feature of the ICT-based material need to be attractive to the students, supports independent learning, and has simplified activities with WAM of 3.88 – 3.85 described as highly preferred; and in its acceptability as to content, technical, and aesthetic aspects were all highly acceptable with total WAM of 3.62. Thus, the developed material can be utilized in all the Grade 7 students in the school. Taking part in the series of studies conducted in DepEd to attain communicative competent and multiliterate basic education graduates, this paper focused on the development of an ICT-based reading comprehension material that is high impact in its nature for the learning of the students in Grade 7.
