Development and Validation of an Interactive Learning Module in Grade 8 Earth Science

This study was a Research and Development (R&D) Design. It is concerned with the development and validation of an Interactive Learning Earth Science module based on the Kto12 curriculum of grade 8. Two groups were selected from the heterogeneous sections of Grade 8 in Atlu-Bola High School during the school year 2023 – 2024. They were used in this study as subjects. They were randomly arranged into experimental and control groups Traditional, or discussion methods were used in both the experimental group and the control group. The only difference was that the experimental group was exposed with the use of the developed module. The t – test was used to determine whether there would be a difference between the scores of the control and experimental groups in the pre-test and post-test. It was found that the students in the experimental group performed better than the traditional method. This implies that the interactive learning module was effective in teaching Earth Science. The results of this study clearly show that the developed module is a tool in increasing students’ academic performance. This study may be adopted by other teachers in the field to improve their teaching methodology. This module also suits the way of learning of the 21st century learners. This study would support interactive instructional material in teaching Science inside the classroom.
