Abstract:

This study aimed to develop an application-based instructional material (ABIM) for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and other subjects, and to assess its usability and perceived attributes. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research involved packaging the ABIM using a personal computer, Microsoft PowerPoint, internet resources, and an app-making website, following a rigorous process of planning, designing, packaging, revising, testing, and expert validation. Results indicated that the ABIM was deemed user-friendly and suitable for teaching and learning by IT experts (mean = 3.66). Furthermore, Grade 7 learners who used the ABIM demonstrated significantly higher skill acquisition (mean=89.83, p=0.000) and academic performance (mean=40.37, p=0.000) in handicraft production than those who used print modules. The ABIM also significantly increased learners' interest in the subject (mean = 4.46, p = 0.000). These findings suggest that ABIMs offer a viable and effective alternative to traditional print modules, enhancing both learning outcomes and student engagement in the context of limited resources and remote learning necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings suggest that ABIMs offer a viable and effective alternative to traditional print modules, enhancing both learning outcomes and student engagement in the context of limited resources and remote learning necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is recommended that educators and curriculum developers integrate ABIMs into instructional design to promote interactive, technology-driven learning, particularly in resource-constrained and distance education settings.
