Abstract:
This developmental research aimed to produce Self-Instructional Modules (SIMs) in the course General Education 1 with the descriptive title, Understanding the Self. The development of the instructional material, which was done in the Second Semester of the Academic Year 2020-2021 adapted the Input-Process-Output-Outcome (IPOO) model of Brown to demonstrate the design-develop-evaluate phases of module making. The SIMs were designed to be used by the first-year college students of La Carlota City College. The design, development, and evaluation of the modules gathered insights from the reviews of the literature on module making. The developed SIMs were composed of nine parts, namely, the Title of the Module, Overview, Learning Objectives, Pretest, Learning Activities, Self-Learning Tasks, Posttest, References, and Key Answers. The instrument was administered to a team of six experts composed of the College Dean, Assistant Deans, Department Head, GE 1 Professor, and an IT expert. The instrument was composed of twenty-five items distributed to five parameters: objectives, contents, format and language, presentation and us, and usefulness. All these parameters were rated excellent by the evaluators, resulting in an overall rating of the SIMs at an excellent level. The evaluation result indicates that the SIMs possess the needed quality to be used for instruction.
