ABSTRACT
The main thrust of this study was to develop self-learning modules in Araling Panlipunan 8. This study followed the design and development research method. Through a simple random sampling technique, the respondents of the study were 70 Grade 8 learners from the Division of Calamba and 28 Araling Panlipunan secondary school teachers composed of Head Teacher, Master Teacher, Coordinator, and Araling Panlipunan Teachers from the East District of Calamba. Using the four-point Likert Scale simple mean, and t-test for independent samples, findings revealed that the developed self-learning modules in Araling Panlipunan 8 were based on the assessment of the Araling Panlipunan teachers in terms of objectives, directions, topics, and practical exercises were all highly valid. Meanwhile, the level of acceptability of the developed self-learning modules in Araling Panlipunan 8 were all highly accepted based on the assessment of the Araling Panlipunan teachers in terms of clarity, usefulness, presentation, and suitability. There was a significant difference in the academic performance level of the learners comparing the mean scores of the learners during the pretest and posttest. The developed self-learning modules in Araling Panlipunan 8 increased the acquisition of learning of Grade 8 learners based on the difference in their performance in the pretest and posttest.
