Acceptability of a Developed Teaching Module on Selected Writings of Jose Rizal

Abstract

This study primarily aimed to design a teaching module on selected writings of Jose Rizal. It employed the development method in the first phase wherein a module said writings of the national hero as prescribed in the syllabus for the subject Life, Works, and Writings of Jose Rizal were crafted. Five (5) evaluators for both content and design acceptability assessed the module with all of the criteria deemed as highly acceptable (objectives, content/subject matter, organization and presentation, discussion aids and guide questions, learning activities, evaluative exercises, design characteristics, and adaptability). It can be concluded that the teaching module is deemed highly acceptable by the teacher-evaluators in the different areas of concern. This indicates that the teaching module can be used in teaching Rizal’s writings. With the teaching module being rated as highly acceptable, the researcher strongly suggests the utilization of this instructional material in teaching Rizal’s writings. The teaching module should also be validated through actual use in the classroom. The teaching module can also be converted to a learning module catering primarily to the students. Moreover, teachers should be encouraged to develop instructional materials like a module, particularly on subjects/topics where most students encounter difficulty. Further research works on constructing instructional materials using the modular approach in other fields of Social Sciences are also recommended.
