Jechie P. Doria

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The research study was intended to make an evaluation of the qual-ity (contents, format presentation and organization, and usability) and effectiveness of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) for Secondary Social Studies teachers of secondary schools in Zone 3, Division of Zambales. The perceptions and insights were solicited from the teacher - participants. The study was conducted during the Second Quarter of the school year 2020-2021. This study employed a de-scriptive research method with the survey questionnaire as the re-search instrument. The statistical treatment of this study utilized descriptive statistical tools. ANOVA and Pearson r are the inferential statistics used.The findings of the study revealed that the quality of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) for Secondary Social Studies Program was very Satisfactory in terms of format, content and presentation and organization. However, the SLM was Satisfactory in Usability. The academic performance of the junior high school students in so-cial studies was proficient in their pre-test and advanced in the post-test. Results also revealed that there is no significant difference on the perception of the respondents to the Quality of SLM for the Sec-ondary Social Studies Program in terms of content, format, presen-tation and organization and usability. There is significant difference on the pre-test and post-test performances of the students in Social Studies (Araling Panlipunan) lessons. There is no significant rela-tionship/correlation between the Quality and Effectiveness of the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) in terms of content, format and presentation and organization. However, there is significant rela-tionship in terms of Usability. The Social Studies teachers strongly agreed on the different teachers’ needs which should be addressed to help improve the quality, usability and effectiveness of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) for Secondary Social Studies Program. A Plan/Program was developed/formulated for to further the quality, usability and effectiveness of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs). It is recommended that the preparation of self-learning module (SLM) to be utilized in the next quarter or academic year, the Social Studies Teachers, Department Heads, and School Heads/Principals may de-liberate, consider and incorporate contents and activities that moti-vate the interest of the students with adequate visual contents and info graphics (Content); good quality of paper, printing and binding and durability of materials (Format); and utilization of varied and interesting sentences and paragraph structures mother tongue and/or appropriate English language (Presentation and Organiza-tion). The Social Studies Teachers, Department Heads, and School Heads/Principals may consider the Usability aspects of the self-learning module in terms of ease of usage, monitoring and evaluat-ing students’ progress, active involvement and time frame of accom-plishing the module in the preparation of SLM for the next Quar-ter/Academic Grading. They may prioritize the conduct seminar-workshop that will further discuss the different aspects/criteria of module evaluation and acquire further knowledge on the conduct of initial and final evaluation of the prepared and utilized SLMs. Pro-pose the model/plan/program to further the quality and effective-ness of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) to the Social Studies Depart-ment Heads, School Heads/Principals, Supervisors, and Education Specialist/Curriculum Planners of the Division of Zambales for fur-ther review, and future implementation.
