Irmalyn R. Alejandro

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study examines the potential of printed learning resources to support the cognitive and affective development of second-year Professional Education students at Isabela State University, focusing on their academic outputs. Utilizing a single-group pretest/post-test design, the study involved 35 participants and evaluated the impact of the modules on student performance through pre- and post-test assessments. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in student performance following the introduction of the learning modules, with the average score rising from 32.80 to 35.25, indicating a notable effect size. These findings suggest that printed learning modules can be practical tools for instructors in Professional Education programs, facilitating enhanced student understanding and potentially leading to improved academic outcomes.
