Assesment of the AralingPanlipunan Modules in the K-12 Curriculum

The new AralingPanlipunan curriculum under the K to 12 program was in a modular instruction. Since its implementation in 2012 with the seventh grade level, there has not been a systematic assessment to determine effectiveness of the modular instruction and to determine difficulties and concerns in carrying out the new curriculum. This study is an assessment on AralingPanlipunan modules used in the seventh grade for the first and second grading periods. Assessments were carried out from the perspective of the experts in education, subject teachers and seventh grade students. A minimum of four experts and a minimum of 10 teachers handling AralingPanlipunan subjects and a valid number of samples of seventh grade students (512) from the Division of Iligan City were made participants in this study. The panel of experts was agreeable to the Title, Overview, Objectives, Content, Teaching-Learning Activities, Other Characteristics and Evaluation Procedures. The experts however noted that the use of English in "sipi" would affect interest of students in learning the subject.
