Abstract:

Earthquake drills are paramount in academic institutions, these drills are used for testing the plans and knowledge of learners, teaching, and non-teaching personnel. With the previous conduct of earthquake drills in Morong National Senior High School, it was determined that the school still needs to improve its performance feedback from the School Disaster Risk Reduction Management Committee of the school. Ever since the implementation of the quarterly earthquake drill in the school, there are no available visual instructional materials. Thus a decline in the evaluation of earthquake drill performance. With the lack of teaching materials, the researchers came up with the DigiQuake digital interactive guide for enhancing the learners’ conduct of earthquake drills. The study employed descriptivedevelopmental and experimental research design with the quantitative nature of research. Also, it followed the ADDIE model which refers to Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate. Six (6) DRRM-experts and seven (7) ICTexperts validated the DigiQuake digital interactive guide achieving a very satisfactory rating for content, instructional, and technical quality. The School Disaster Risk Reduction Committee evaluated the earthquake drill performance of learners with a very satisfactory result after the exposure. The posttest scores of learners increased after the exposure with a very high result.
