    Designing Self-Learning Modules on Project Management for the Sangguniang Kabataan Council of Barangay Sapangbato
    ( 2024)
    Project management is a vital part of the public sector whose fundamental function is to develop projects that create effective services and enhance the existing ones (Selepe, 2023)—making project management skills a core competency for public officials like the Sangguniang Kabataan Council. In an initial assessment with the SK Council of Barangay Sapangbato, Angeles City, Pampanga, weak project management skills were revealed to be the council’s most pressing issue, specifically in time management and task division areas. This paper seeks to address this problem through instructional design by developing three (3) digital Self-Learning Modules on project management developed using instructional and multimedia design principles, theories of learning, learning objectives development, methods of assessment, Open Education concepts, and Online Learning models. A synchronous online class was conducted to pilot-test the first SLM. The summative assessment revealed the learners’ understanding of basic project management concepts such as project characteristics, life cycles, constraints, and relevant intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. The skills and knowledge that the learners can gain from the SLMs will enable them to design and conduct projects that aid in the holistic development of their members. Moreover, the SLMs can be a significant addition to the limited number of project management materials specially designed for the SK Council.

    Applying Literature-Based and Play-Based Approach Accompanied by Non-Projected Instructional Materials in a Child Development Center
    ( 2024) Mendoza, Shella May
    This project explores an innovative, cost-effective approach to improving early childhood development in a resource-limited daycare center in Polillo Islands, Quezon, Philippines. A needs assessment revealed key development delays in cognitive, socio-emotional, and motor skills of children enrolled in the center, largely due to inadequate funding and infrastructure. In response, this initiative introduced a flexible, Play-based and Literature-based instructional plan accompanied by handcrafted, recycled teaching aids. Pilot testing showed promising results, with increased child engagement and participation, making learning fun, focused, and accessible. Even though challenges in complex topics delivery emerged, this project demonstrates how resourceful, locally tailored solutions can overcome educational barriers and support essential childhood development and growth.

    Digital Storytelling as a Teaching-Learning Tool: Experiences of the Humanities and Social Sciences Students of Auton Academy
    ( 2024) Reyes, Carina T.
    This action research explored the experiences of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Students of Auton Academy in understanding disciplines and ideas in the Social Sciences with digital storytelling as a teaching-learning tool. Digital storytelling focuses on a specific theme or topic incorporating a distinct perspective that combines the art of telling stories and the use of a mixture of digital media. Digital stories are typically between two and ten minutes in length and saved in a digital format (Robin, 2016). To explore the possibility of using digital storytelling as a teaching-learning tool in senior high school Social Science subjects, a qualitative research design and an exploratory action research approach using three data collection techniques: survey questionnaire, reflective questions based on the 5R Framework Model, and observation were employed. A class under the Humanities and Social Sciences Strand taking the Disciplines and Ideas in the Social Sciences (DISS) subject was purposively selected. Findings were categorized into themes based on the generated codes to make sense of the participants’ collective meanings and experiences shared. The findings of this action research suggested that digital storytelling is an entrancing instructional tool that provides senior high school students with meaningful learning experiences beyond their usual classroom curriculum. By incorporating the 5R Framework Model, digital storytelling becomes a valuable tool for Social Studies teachers to identify challenges and assess learning through reflections. The outcome of this project can influence educators to consider the integration of digital storytelling to transform classrooms, engaging students emotionally and intellectually. Additional factors within this context can be explored in future studies.

    Designing Multisensory Activities for Teaching Prepositions to the Young Learners of the Integrated Jubilation Montessori Center of Biñan (IJMC-B)
    ( 2024) Labarrete, Reine Gerbie R.
    The special project that was developed is an instructional design for students in the kindergarten level of the Integrated Jubilation Montessori Center of Biñan (IJMC-B) to learn about the topic of prepositions under the subject of Language. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) instructional design model was the methodological approach utilized in the instructional design project. Based on the assessment through a sit-in observation in the kindergarten classroom and a discussion with the key personnel, the instructional needs identified is the integration of different sensory modalities in the learning activities through media, visuals and colorful instructional materials for motivation as the students were recognized as visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners. On the other hand, the learning needs identified are the linguistic gap on the common mistakes with the use of prepositions in sentences and phrases. Although the IJMC-B follows the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum by the Department of Education (DepEd) across all grade levels, the topic of prepositions was not found in the curriculum for the kindergarten level. The instructional design project aimed to design an instructional plan that involves multisensory activities and instructional materials, including slide presentations, flashcards, printed objects and printed worksheets for teaching prepositions. The four-step method of instruction serves as the inspiration for the methodology used for the flow of the instructional plan. The design of the learning activities utlized several learning theories including the multisensory approach, Social Learning Theory, positive reinforcement in operant conditioning and activity-based learning.

    Modular Learning Experiences of Senior High School Tanglaw Pag-asa Residents
    ( 2024)
    The Juvenile Justice Law mandates providing psychosocial and education-focused interventions to children in conflict with the law (CICLs). The Department of Education (DepEd)'s Alternative Learning System (ALS) program, provides education opportunities to CICLs in youth rehabilitation centers for their reintegration into society. The program adopts a modular learning approach, where learners use self-learning modules (SLMs) anchored on DepEd's most essential learning competencies, or skills learners must develop to succeed academically and be job-ready. This study aimed to describe Tanglaw Pag-asa Residents' modular learning experiences. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Challenges participants face include feeling overwhelmed by their workload, maintaining motivation, and lacking background knowledge of some topics. Participants are intrinsically and extrinsically motivated. They mentioned guidance from more knowledgeable others when asked how to enhance their learning experiences.
