Especially, contemporary issues help learners to become more knowledgeable for living in the modern world.

METHODS

The study used the experimental research method utilizing Matching Only Pretest and Posttest Control Group design, and Table of Specification for the pretest and posttest that use to gather the needed data. Experimental research design is a way to carefully plan experiments in advance so that your results are both objective and valid. The term "Experimental Design" and Design of Experiments" are used interchangeably and mean the same thing. However, the medical and social sciences tend to use the term "Experimental Design" while engineering, industrial and computer sciences favor the term "Design of Experiment".

This means that both groups have equal chances to excel depending on the motivational tool and strategies that will be utilize to them. The finding implies that the control group, who are not exposed to Balitaan, has significant difference with respect to the topics under Gender Issues, but collectively it denotes that there is no significant difference on the performance of the learners of the control group with respect to Gender Issues as revealed in their pretest and posttest results.

The results states that pretest performance of the experimental and control group not differ significantly. On the other hand, there is enough evidence to support that there is a significant difference between the posttest mean scores of the control group and experimental group. The data implies that there is an improvement on the experimental group performance on the gender issues. The improvement can be attributed to the utilization of the Balitaan in teaching the topics under gender issues.
