Operation Galugad: ELT-infused glocalized module on experiential learning

ABSTRACT: Amidst social distancing issues in times of the COVID-19 pandemic, modular learning offers the best strategy to overcome problems in the delivery of instruction. Aimed to determine the effectiveness of the developed glocalized experiential learning-infused module in Earth and Life Science. Experiential learning is theorized to improve students’ mastery of science competencies. Using quasi-experimental research, pretest-posttest design, the participants are the Grade 11 students of Libacao National Forestry Vocational High School (LNFVHS), the school year 2019-2020. Data came from the module’s posttests and the Student Evaluation of Learning Experience Questionnaire (SELEQ). The learning material consisted of a glocalized print module and its video-based accompaniment. Results of SELEQ and Posttest revealed a significant increase after using the module. Correlation analysis of SELEQ and Posttest revealed a significant positive linear relationship. Hence, when learning materials are glocalized, infused with experiential learning activities, learners are more likely to be engaged, improving their academic performance.
