Teachers and Parents’ Experiences and Feedbacks on the Use of Modules: Basis forImproved Instructional Materials
Helen Dela Cruz
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine the teachers' and parents’ experiences with and feedback
on the use of modules in terms of production, content, assessment of learners, distribution, and
retrieval. Descriptive-correlational research design was used in the study. It described the profile of
the respondents, their experiences, feedback, and differences by selected demographic profile. The
study's respondents were chosen using complete enumeration for teachers and the purposive
sampling method for parents. The elementary teachers in the two districts generally agreed on the
statement about their experiences and feedback on the use of modules in the areas of production,
content, assessment for learners, distribution, and retrieval. Parents agreed on their experiences and
feedback on the use of modules in terms of content but they were divided on their feedback in terms
of assessment for learners. No significant difference in the experiences of teachers and parents in
terms of age, sex, educational attainment, designation/position, and tribe. There was no significant
difference in teachers' feedback on the use of modules in four areas based on demographic profile.
Parents feedback on the use of modules in the area of content, no significant difference was noted,
while for learners’ assessments in terms of sex and educational attainment, a significant difference
was registered. Moreover, the relationships between the experiences and feedback of teachers and
parents on the use of modules in four areas are significantly related.
