Development of e-Module for Teaching the Concept of Monsoons to Grade 7 Students in the Context of Disaster Risk Reduction

Abstract

This paper focuses on the development of an e-module for grade 7 science discussing the content about monsoon based on the learning competency expected to be achieved in the content. The evaluation of four experts yielded to a high rating in terms of the content, instructional, and technical quality. The module was also found to be free from conceptual, factual, and grammatical errors. Based on the result of the evaluation, the e-module was deemed to be appropriate for the target audience. A 20-item pretest administered to a heterogeneous section composed of 32 students resulted a proficiency level ranging from “no mastery” to “near mastery”. The findings of this study aims to provide insights to science teachers to promote integration of disaster risk reduction and science education as well as integration of technology to alternative modalities of learning.
