Exploring the Development Process and Appropriateness of a Competency-based Instructional Materials Package in Pagbasa at Pagsusuri ng Iba’t Ibang Teksto Tungo sa Pananaliksik

This paper presents the development process of an instructional material (IM) package for the course Pagbasa at Pagsusuri ng Iba’t-ibang Teksto tungo sa Pananaliksik (PPITP). It reports empirical information about the development and seeks to determine the appropriateness of the IMs through experts’, teachers’ and students’ evaluation. The instruments used were: (1) IM evaluation questionnaire, (2) slidetext evaluation questionnaire, and (3) interview schedule. The scope of the content of the IMs covered the least mastered competencies in the course. These were determined through a researcher-constructed diagnostic test. The ADDIE model was employed in the design and development of the IMs. The IM package consists of the students’ module, teachers’ manual, and a slidetext. The students’ module and teachers’ manual were analyzed and evaluated by experts and teachers in terms of its physical aspect and presentation, objectives, content, activities, and assessments. Meanwhile, the slidetext was evaluated in terms of content, physical aspect and visual clarity. The IMs were implemented and used by purposively selected 94 Grade 11 students and two (2) Senior High School teachers. Through determining the mean and the standard deviation of the survey responses, findings show that the IM package had a very high level of appropriateness in all aspects. This implies that the IM package is an effective tool in attaining the objectives of the course PPITP, and in addressing the students’ least mastered competencies. Recommendations for pedagogy and research conclude the paper.
