Development of Computer Courseware in Mathematics 3 Using Tagalog as Medium of Instructrion

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study aims to develop a Computer Courseware in Mathematics 3 using Tagalog as Medium of Instruction. In this fast-changing world, the utilization of different instructional materials is a necessity. Developing courseware using Tagalog as a medium can primarily help the Filipino children understand and learn difficult lessons especially in Mathematics 3. As one of the most important subject masteries in basic Mathematics must be developed. The module was designed and based on the skills development which is essential for the learning process.

METHODS

This study adopted the ADDIE Model. The ADDIE Model is a generic process traditionally used by the instructional designers and training developers. The ADDIE is at very core instructional design and is the basis of instructional system design (ISD). The initial phase of the development of the Computer Courseware focuses on the design and coding program. This computer courseware in Mathematics using Tagalog as Medium of Instruction will be used as an aid to promoting learning in the classroom using the innovative style of learning.

RESULTS

Based on the results and evaluation, The Computer Courseware in Mathematics 3 using Tagalog as a medium of instruction was successfully developed using Powerpoint, Visual Basic, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere CC. The Computer Courseware for Mathematics 3 using Tagalog as Medium of Instruction was highly acceptable/labis na tanggap-tanggap in terms of Instructional content/Nilalamang pampagtuturo, graphics/multimedia /grapiko/multimedia, layout/kayarian, technical aspects/teknikal na aspekto, accessibility and flexibility/ kakayang umangkop/kaangkupan.

DISCUSSIONS

The interactive courseware in Mathematics 3 using Tagalog as Medium of Instruction was specifically designed to develop basic knowledge and skills using a computer in learning Mathematics 3. Furthermore, the courseware has enhanced the teaching-learning process by instilling in the pupil the capability to work on their own, with fun and in the easiest way. Its content was based on the Teacher's Guide and Learner's Material of K-12 curriculum. It covers 28 lessons from the first grading coverage of the lesson. To further enrich the pupil's comprehension and skills, the courseware in Mathematics contains topics with quizzes with immediate feedback, which aims to evaluate or test the pupil's cognitive knowledge acquired after each lesson.
