Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the validity of contextualized and localized modules in Araling Panlipunan 9 for secondary schools in the Division of Marinduque. This study used a descriptive, evaluative research methodology that concentrated on the validation of the generated contextualized and localized module in Araling Panlipunan 9 (Economics) in order to precisely evaluate the validity of the contextualized and localized module. They were recognized as the junior high school instructors from the Marinduque division who teach economics. Based on their qualifications to serve as module evaluators, all of the teacher-respondents who met the requirements were included. The data gathered by the researchers were analyzed and interpreted using percentage and mean. The mean of each item was computed to get the total mean that represent the total evaluation of the module as to whether it is recommended for use or not. The result was analyzed to determine the validity of the module in terms of objectives, presentations, assessment, contextualization, and localization. Findings revealed that the content of the modules are very much valid, and it’s recommended for use. Comments and suggestions of the evaluators are taken to consideration for the improvement of the module. School Heads may integrate the localization and contextualization of learning materials in teaching any subject that will determine this significant difference in imparting lifelong learning outcomes. Araling Panlipunan 9 teachers and teachers from other levels may also create and think of techniques/strategies which are localized and contextualized that are suitable to the learning needs of the students.
