Modular Approach in Teaching Science 10

Modular approach in teaching has been a buzzword in our educational system. This paper ascertained the effectiveness of Modular Teaching Approach in teaching Grade 10 Science at Maximino Noel Memorial National High School. Quasi experimental and Purposive sampling was utilized. Data were collected through pre test and post test using the learning module in Science 10 prescribed by the Department of Education. Data obtain using frequency count, percentage, mean and standard deviation and t test for the significant difference. Results revealed that the performance of the Grade 10 students during the pre test in the following competencies describing the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts distinguishing the different types of plate boundaries and explaining the different processes that occur along the plate boundaries, was described as Beginning. However, after using the Modular Teaching Approach, the post test performance of the students on the aforementioned competencies increased significantly and was described as Proficient. This indicated that the approach evidently showed positive results and displayed a vital connection in increasing students’ academic achievement. Thus, enhanced learning module was proposed as instructional intervention in improving students’ performance in Science 10. Marsha R.
