Validation and Implementation of Honing Meaningful Experiences by Revitalizing Opportunities through Organized Modules (HOMEROOM) for Grades I -VI of Selected Schools in the Division of Calamba City

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study aimed to produce valid Modules for Grades I to VI towards the development of learner's knowledge and core values awareness.

METHODS

A descriptive method of research was used in the validation of the developed modules and a quasi-experimental method of research was used to test the effectiveness of the modules on the pupils' performance. Thirty (30) pupils from one section of Grades I to VI were the respondents of this study. Data gathering was done during the school year 2018-2019. Pre-test and post-test results were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted.

RESULTS

The level of modules in terms of learning competencies, appropriateness of materials and accuracy and up-to-datedness of information were very satisfactory. Pupils obtained an average mean percentage score of 66.78% on the pre-test and 89.67% on the post-test. A significant difference existed between the pre-test and post-test of pupils. Therefore, modules had a great effect on the performance of pupils.

DISCUSSIONS

The implementation of modules was limited only to Grades I to VI pupils. It ensures learners' formation of values and enhances students' reading skills. Modules are anchored on the vision, mission and core values ofDepartment of Education to help pupils develop personality through an understanding of self and environment. This may help future researchers to construct new materials that will help pupils to perform better in school.
