Development And Validation Of A Localized Learning Modules In General Chemistry 2

Joan A. Riparip

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The study aimed to develop and validate localized learning modules that contain the least learned competencies of students in General Chemistry 2. The least learned topics were under the four Chapters - Intermolecular Forces and Solids and Liquids, Physical Properties of Solutions, Thermochemistry, and Chemical Kinetics. The learning modules were carefully designed and followed the principles of localization and contextualization. 106 Grade 11 students used the learning modules as an attempt to improve their competencies in General Chemistry 2. Findings showed that experts rated the content very satisfactory, with means ranging from 3.25 to 4.0. The format, including print, illustration, design, layout, paper quality, and size, was also rated very satisfactory. The total score of 18.40 for presentation and organization, and 24 for overall evaluation, indicated that the learning modules meet the Department of Education standards. In addition, the t-test value to compare the pretest and posttest scores is 36. 58 and the pvalue is <0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. There is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. The study concludes that the localized learning modules were effective in enhancing the competencies of the students. The study recommends the development of localized learning modules in other Chemistry topics. Additionally, teachers should be trained on how to effectively integrate these localized and contextualized modules into their teaching strategies, ensuring that they can fully leverage the familiar
