Discipline: Teacher Training
Abstract:
Academic institutions migrated to modular teaching-learning amid the COVID-19
pandemic. To ensure the quality of the pedagogical innovations employed, the study
determined the students’ evaluation of the faculty prepared instructional modules
for the courses they enrolled in during the first and second semesters of Academic
Year 2020-2021. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study
was participated by 644 students from three colleges who were then available during
the data gathering. Data gathered through online surveys were then analyzed
using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient utilizing
jamovi software. Results revealed that the faculty-prepared instructional modules
were acceptable and satisfactory to the students. Besides, the students’ evaluation of
the instructional modules was positively related to their level of satisfaction. Still, the
students recommended that a review of the modules be done before sending the modules;
a more extended time allotment is considered, and sufficient concrete examples
are given in the modules. With this, the faculty concerned are encouraged to review
the phases involved in the design, development, and distribution of the instructional
modules to make them highly acceptable and very satisfactory to the students while
maintaining the quality of both the content and aesthetics of the learning materials.
Considering the study’s limitations, further endeavors may be carried out to validate
this pedagogical innovation.
