Development and Validation of Information and Communication Technology –Based Instructional Materials for English Grade Five Pupils in the Division of Quezon

Abstract

The study focuses on the development and validation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) –based instructional materials for English grade five pupils in the fourth district of Quezon. This is to address the least mastered competency of the pupils based on the K to 12 English Learning Competencies of the Department of Education. A pilot study through action research and prototype developmental design is utilized. A competency based test is given to grade five pupils in Lopez East and Lopez West District. Mean Percentage Score is used to analyze the test results. Results show that the least mastered competency among the pupils is reading. Subsequently, a survey questionnaire on the desired instructional material is also given to the pupils where computer–assisted materials are very much desired through frequency distributions, percentage, and mean analysis. Same data analyses are done with the results gathered from the grade five English teachers of Lopez East and Lopez West District who assessed the necessity of an ICT–based instructional material as very much needed. Development was done based on the data gathered. Validation of the developed material was done by school managers and classroom teachers with expertise in the English subject. Results of the validation reveal that the developed material is highly acceptable in terms of content characteristics; format and design; and quality and usability.
