Development of Technology-Based Instructional Materials in Teaching Purposive Communication

John Paul C. Afalla

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study aimed to develop and evaluate Technology-based Instructional Materials (TIMs) for teaching Purposive Communication to first-year BEED students at Quirino State University. Using both descriptive and developmental research designs, the study assessed the acceptability of the TIMs based on expert evaluation and tested their reliability through a test-retest method. Results showed high expert agreement on the appropriateness and usefulness of the TIMs. The test-retest correlation indicated high reliability (r = 0.848). Most test items were either accepted or recommended for revision, indicating room for improvement in the assessment tools. The study concludes that the TIMs are effective tools for improving student learning and engagement in Purposive Communication.
