Utilization of Develop Contextualized Learning Module on Climate Change for Grade 9 Learners

Abstract

Climate change has significant implications for health, yet people keep on doing things that greatly affect the environment causing this climate change. The province of Lanao del Sur is among the four provinces categorized as very high risk for temperature change and this is due to Cutting down forests and rampant waste management problems. the study sought to developed Contextualized Learning Modules on Climate Change for Grade 9 to help address both problems of the scarcity of learning materials, and the support for climate change preparedness and reduction. The study made use of the Research and Development Model as its research design. respondent of the study was composed of five (5) teachers, and ten (10) residents for the need’s assessments, and grade 9 students who are currently enrolled in the school year 2022-2023. The results obtained on the Needs Assessment served as a bases for developing a Contextualized learning module. The implementation conducted on fifty (50) grade 9 learners showed that there was a significant difference between their pre-test and post-test score (p-value < 0.01), and a paired t-test was used in the study, which means the data obtained was normally distributed. Hence, the developed contextualized learning module improved students’ academic achievement on the topic of Climate Change. Finally, using a 19-item Likert scale, the grade 9 learners’ perceptions of the developed learning module revealed positive feedback. As a whole, the developed contextualized learning module was rated as very satisfactory in teaching and learning materials for Teaching and learning.
