INTRODUCTION
This study investigated the effectiveness of the researcher-made Module in Science Utilizing Frayer Model as Graphic Organizer for Grade 7 Students of Mansilay National High School and had helped determine its effects on their academic performance in Science discipline. Specifically, the study folds answers on the following: the Module in Science Utilizing Frayer Model as Graphic Organizer can be conceptualized for Grade 7 Science; the acceptability of the Module in Science Utilizing Frayer Model as Graphic Organizer for Grade 7 Students of Mansilay National High School in terms of: Objectives, Content, Language Level, Assessment, and Time-Frame to the set of jurors; the test of significant agreement on the rank order among the jurors' assessment of the module; the profile of the students' pre-test and post-test scores in Science 7 before and after their exposure to the utilization of the Graphic Organizer; the test of significant improvement brought about by the use of the graphic organizer; the test of significant difference between the post-test scores of the students who utilized the Graphic organizer and those who were not exposed to the module; and the pointers devised from the findings to improve the academic performance using the Module in Science utilizing the Frayer Model for Grade 7 Students.
METHODS
The descriptive-evaluative-correlational, developmental design, and true experimental design utilizing pre-test post-test control group design were used in this study. Also, the purposive sampling was applied in the selection of school and the subject area of the study.
RESULTS
1. The researcher developed a Module in Science 7 utilizing Frayer Model as Graphic Organizer.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher analyzed and interpreted the results of pre-test/post-test given to the Grade 7 students before/after the instructional process in regards to the exposure to the Module in Science 7 Utilizing Frayer Model as Graphic Organizer.
