Acceptability of self-learning modules in empowerment technologies

The study determined the acceptability of self-learning modules in the subject of Empowerment Technologies. This was conducted in the two senior high schools in West Butuan District I. A total of 123 participants from both schools in school year 2020–2021 were involved in the study. Due to the current health situation brought about by COVID-19, the study used a quota sampling design in which the researcher coordinated with the academic track heads of the Senior High Schools. A validated research instrument using the Likert scale was used to measure the level of acceptability of self-learning modules in terms of content, assessment, and design. A multiple-choice test was also utilized to determine the student's performance on the subject of empowerment technologies. The study used frequency count, percent, weighted mean, and correlation for the analysis. The findings revealed that the level of acceptability of the self-learning modules in terms of content, assessment, and design was high. The respondents manifested a very satisfactory result on the examination. Also, the result showed that there was no significant effect of self-learning modules on student performance in terms of content and design. Acceptability in assessment had a significant effect on student performance. Through this, a proposed intervention program was crafted to improve the learner’s academic performance.
