TECHNICAL DRAFTING MODULE FOR GRADE-8 STUDENTS BASED ON THE EVALUATION RUBRICS OF LEARNING RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

This study presents the step-by-step development of module in Grade-8 Technical Drafting
following the distinct phases used in the development of learning materials. Modular
instruction as an aid to individualize learning by allowing learners to achieve mastery of one unit
of content before considering a new lesson help them catch up with missed lessons. Its
advantages provide authentic experiences, independence, mastery of concepts and better study
on learning skills in drafting. Development of the said module took place from careful
consideration of a model known to be effective beginning with analysis, design, development,
and evaluation which eventually led to the used of an adopted evaluation form from LRMDS of
Department of Education for Printed Resources and Materials. In this study, Technology and
Livelihood Education experts took the role of being the evaluators of this said developed
module and findings revealed that among the seven (7) statements, experts in TLE evaluated
the modules’ content, format, presentation and organization, and up-to-datedness of
information. Hence it is recommended that the module be used in similar contexts particularly
in learning basic technical drafting skills. As quantitative method of research has been used to
this study, this research employed strategies of inquiry that involved collecting data to best
understand the research problem prioritizing topic(s) in drafting that needs the aid of assessing
and evaluating a module in the teaching of drawing principles. Data collection involved
gathering of numeric information so that the final database represented quantitative
information (Creswell, 2014) On the basis of findings, a total mean of 3.91 was computed for
the over-all criteria of the developed instructional module, with a descriptive interpretation of
Very Satisfactory (VS) that was based on the instrument tool provided by the LRMDS on Printed
Materials of the Department of Education, has provided essential information that a well
develop module could mean lot of importance, enhancement, and encouragement for providing
ease, comfort, and effective way of dealing and delivery of lessons that the curriculum on TLE has designed for the learners. The findings of the study brought about the implication for
strengthening both the theory and practice in regard to devising modules in technical drafting
as aid in classroom instruction. Specifically, the researcher has hopes that redirecting the focus
to what the students can do, using the developed module for instruction, can then provide
quality drafting students in Grade-8 and encouraged them to accept more responsibility for
their learning with respect to an acceptable level of confidence and self-motivation. In the light
of the outcomes as evaluated developed module in Technical Drafting by the Learning
Resources Management and Development (LRMDS) of the Department of Education of the
Division of Bulacan and the respondents of this research, succeeding conclusions are drawn.
Developed module in Grade-8 Technical Drafting presented curiosity and build motivational
approaches in learning the basic skills in drafting. Content, format, presentation and
organization, and accuracy and up-to-datedness provided the material a logical, sequential
order as specified by the developer. It was designed to be engaging and informative. As highly
recommended printed material designed for future implementation and adoption in different
technology-based schools in Bulacan the developer was encouraged to continue sharing and
presenting the developed module for further assessment, evaluation, and validation prior to its
division-wide implementation in the coming school years.
