Diversifying Your Shelves: A Modular Instructional Material in Literature for Grade 10

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Governance Act of Basic Education by Secretary Edilberto De Jesus (R.A. 9155) stated that a school being the backbone of learning has the obligation to produce new and innovative methods of instruction to achieve a higher level of learning outcome. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Diversify Your Shelves: A Modular Instructional Material in Literature for Grade 10 on academic performance of grade 10 students of Gov. FelicisimoT. San Luis Memorial Integrated Senior High School Year 2017-2018. The modular instructional material was validated by 30 English teachers in terms of design, relevance, usability, and sequence. It was also accepted in terms of objective, content, development, and evaluation.

METHODS

The researcher made use of weighted mean and standard deviation to determine the level of performance of Grade 10 students in terms of pre-test and post-test and to determine the significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of the groups. The independent sample t-test was utilized.

RESULTS

The usability of the module satisfied the needs of the learners. It can also be used by all types of learners. It is relevant, time-bounded and appealing enough to the learners to capture their interest. The sequence of activities was arranged according to the degree of difficulty. The pre-test of the control group and experimental group had shown that both groups had the same knowledge prior to the experiment and was found not statistically significant. The academic performance of the control group in terms of post-test showed improvement even when the students were not using modular instructional material. While the experimental group indicates a much-improved performance after using the modular instructional material and it was found statistically significant. The post-test of the control and experimental groups showed that the level of performance of the students was greater when they utilized the Diversify Your Shelves: A Modular Instructional Material in Literature for Grade 10 in the learning process.

DISCUSSIONS

Diversify Your Shelves: A Modular Instructional Material in Literature for English encourages high-quality responses to the important topics. The students'performance significantly improved after the modular instructional material than those who did not. Thus, from the gathered data the null hypotheses, there is no significant difference between the control group and experimental group in terms of their pre-test, had shown no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of the control group, there is no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group, there is no significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in terms of their post-test are all accepted while the hypothesis, there is no significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in terms of their pre-test is rejected.
