Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The mission of the Department of Education is to promote the right of every Filipino to quality and complete basic education. The K to 12 curricula also aims to produce 21st-century learners with multiple skills to become competent inthis modern world. However, the poor academic performance of the students revealed in Discipline and Ideas in the Social Sciences. It is, therefore, the role of a teacher to make flexible strategies in teaching the lesson to students that will motivate them to study well and help them improve their performance in social science through the use of self-paced modular instruction.

 

METHODS

The use of the module was very flexible to teachers and learners. The study employed an experimental research design. The statistical tools used in the analysis of data were Mean and Standard Deviation, Paired Samples t-Test and Eta-squared. Mean and the standard deviation was used in determining the pre-test and post-test scores of the participants while Paired Samples t-Test was used to determine the significant difference in the scores of participants before and after the implementation of the intervention, ISURE MO Approach. The eta squared was also computed to find out the effect size of the intervention. The participants were the students of Grade 11-1 HUMMS (Control Group) and HUMSS 11-2 (Experimental Group)

 

RESULTS

It was revealed in the mean scores of the participants of the experimental group that there was an increase from pre-test to post-test. The increase of the scores after the implementation of the ISURE MO Approach was significant, it is therefore effective in improving the performance of the participants. As a result, the ISURE MO approach is suggested to be used in teaching Social Sciences.

 

DISCUSSIONS

The results showed the effectiveness of the intervention. The module was introduced to help the participants upgrade their performance. Hence, the researcher recommends that there should be an increase in the utilization of the intervention in Social Science Instruction. The use of the intervention revealed its effectiveness; therefore, it should be adopted as one of the teaching strategies in social science.
