Development and Validation of a Module in Earth and Life Science for Grade 11 Students

Abstract

This study entitled “DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A MODULE IN EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCE FOR GRADE 11 STUDENTS” is focused on the problems encountered in the management of instructional materials in Earth and Life Science for Grade 11 and on the development of a module based on the least mastered competencies in Earth and Life Science 11. This study adopted the research and development method: data obtained were analyzed and became the bases for module development. The production of the modules was based on the three (3) stages ADDIE’s model: Stage 1- Preparation; Stage 2- Development; and Stage 3-Validation. Five expert educators in Science were asked to validate the module. Based on the data gathered. There are no available instructional materials in Earth and Life Science for Grade 11. Procurement of instructional materials are done as the need arises. Hence, teachers’ in-charge of the subject were the one who prepared and fund for instructional materials development of which were not accredited. On the other hand, the module developed was rated to be very satisfactorily accepted in terms of objectives, lessons, learning activities, instructional design, graphics and evaluation. Since it was revealed that there is a problem with the extent of availability of instructional materials for Earth and Life Science 11, this module is hereby recommended for use. Further studies can be made to determine the effectiveness of the module to improve the academic performances of students.
