Effectivityof Modular Instructionsin the Performance of Grade 10 Students in Home Economics of Bulihan Natonal High School: Basis for Skills Enhancement Program

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study aimed to identify the effectivity of modular instruction in the performance of G10 Students in Home Economics of Bulihan National High School. It also explained whether there is any difference between using modular and its achievement level of the students from the experimental group vis-a-vis those who were taught using traditional teaching.

METHODS

The experimental method of research was used in this study. It uses modular instruction to two groups of students. One is identified as the experimental group whose learners are subject to modular instruction approach, and the control group, whose learners shall be subjected to traditional teaching methods not using any modular approach.

RESULTS

Modular Instruction is a better pedagogical approach in the teaching-learning process in Home Economics that can enhance the delivery of learning than the conventional lecture-discussion method. The Modular Instruction method also contributed significantly in the improvement of the academic performance of students of Home Economics, in comparison to those students who were taught using the traditional teaching methods.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using modular approach in teaching Home Economics to students, in addition to traditional teaching methods, wherein the teachers themselves are knowledgeable and skilled in teaching the subject to their students. They can also develop their skills inasmuch as their students due to the continuous learning process in teaching.
