Mobile E-Module In Teaching Computer Hardware Servicing (CHS)

Abstract

The K to 12 Basic Education Program of the Philippines emphasizes the importance of the integration of ICT in the teaching and learning process. Teachers are encouraged to utilize all available ICT resources for the betterment of lesson delivery. Relatively, this study was intended to develop, validate and determine the effectiveness of a mobile e-module in Computer Hardware Servicing for Grade 10 ICT students. The study tried to determine the level of acceptability of the parts of the developed mobile e-module in terms of its objectives, contents, activities, and assessments as well as the level of its validity in terms of usability, consistency, adaptability, and aesthetic value. The difference between the evaluators' ratings on the acceptability of the module parts and the validity of its characteristics was also determined. Selected ICT teachers validated and evaluated the developed mobile e-module. Selected Grade 10 computer students were also utilized in the conduct of the study. The statistical treatment of data revealed that the overall weighted mean rating for the acceptability of the module parts as rated by the groups of evaluators was extremely acceptable. It also revealed that the overall mean rating on its characteristics validity as rated by the groups of evaluators was extremely valid. The evaluation of the components and characteristics of the mobile e-module bore no implication on how the students accomplished the practical test given. Based on the foregoing findings presented, the following conclusion was made: There was no significant difference in the evaluators' ratings on the acceptability of the developed mobile e-module parts and the validity of its characteristics. The evaluators' ratings on the components and characteristics of the developed mobile e-module bore no implications on how the students accomplished the practical test given. Therefore, the hypothesis are accepted as there were not enough evidence to reject the claim. Based on the findings and conclusion made, it is hereby recommended that ICT teachers may use this mobile e-module as supplementary material in teaching computer subjects that will lead the students to have knowledge and skills that they can extend in their daily living.
