Development of Deped-Tesda Competency-Based Learning Materials in Computer Systems Servicing

This research is about the development of DepEd-TESDA Competency-Based Learning Materials in Computer Systems Servicing. It is designed to enhance the academic performance of Grade 12 ICT students. The developed learning materials have their purpose, and it is for the students to be job-ready because their content is aligned with the industry standards, increases the employability rate, and provides the students with the knowledge and skills aligned with the competency standards. The developed learning materials were validated by the expert and passed the reliability test. After utilizing the learning material, students are ready to face the outside world. The participants of this research are the thirty-six (36) Grade-12 ICT students from Gov. Felicisimo T. San Luis National Agro-Industrial Integrated High School, 24 male and 12 female. Thirty-six Grade 12 learners in ICT-CSS participated in this study, who were selected through purposive or judgment sampling. This study used the following research instruments: (1) the developed DepEd-TESDA CBLM in CSS, (2) the validating tool of the DepEd-TESDA CBLM, and (3) the assessment tool (pretest and post-test). Weighted Mean, Standard Deviation, paired t-test, and Cohen's d were used as statistical tools to quantify the data. A consent letter was sent to the students, and approval from the principal was obtained before the utilization. This research is based on a quasi-experimental research design, specifically the one-group pretest-posttest design. This design only requires fewer participants. The results show that the academic performance has improved after using the DepEd-TESDA Competency-Based Learning Material, and it has a significant positive difference. As a conclusion, the research identified a positive outcome, and the researcher suggests that the utilization of the developed learning material will also serve as a teaching material for other teachers because it covers topics about Computer Systems Servicing that can help the students elevate their performance and be globally competitive, and pass the National Assessment of TESDA.
