Effectiveness of Self-Learning Module Developed on the Enhancement of Student’ Academic Performance in Basic Calculus Amidst COVID-19

Self-learning Modules plays a vital role in the development of student progress wherein the necessary knowledge, theory, concept and formulas where written and explained. The researcher aimed to the determine the effectiveness of personally developed self-learning module on the enhancement of students’ academic performance in accordance to the compliance standards by the Department of Education on guidelines in the evaluation of layout and design of DepEd-developed ADM modules. The researcher used the descriptive and experimental type of research to collect and analyze data using one-shot pre-test and post-test in two groups of student-participants - control and experimental. The participants were purposively selected and group using matching technique based on their previous grade in Pre-Calculus. With regards to the findings of the study, the pretest scores of the two groups of student-participants in Basic Calculus were evidently shows almost the same. Whereas, the posttest scores revealed that the average posttest weighted mean scores of three sets of posttests on the same competencies, experimental group have an outstanding performance while controlled group have performed very satisfactory. The findings imply that those in experimental group were improved their posttest scores compare to those in controlled group. The findings concluded that the used of developed self-learning module in Basic Calculus helped student-participants in experimental group to have a better improved academic performance.
