Assessment on Utilization of Instructional Materials among Araling Panlipunan Teachers

This study attempted to determine the level of assessment on the utilization of instructional materials in Araling Panlipunan among secondary school teachers in Misamis Oriental during the School Year 2022-2023. Specifically, this paper sought to: a) describe the respondents' characteristics, b) identify the respondents' level of assessment on the utilization of instructional materials in Araling Panlipunan, and c) determine the significant difference in the respondent's assessment of the utilization of instructional materials when grouped according to their characteristics. The respondents were the one hundred fifty (150) Araling Panlipunan teachers currently teaching in selected High Schools in the Division of Misamis Oriental. The instrument is the questionnaire adapted from DepEd Order No.76, s. 2011 known as “The Learning Resource Management and Development Systems.” Descriptive Statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were used to describe the variables in the study. T-test and F-test were utilized to determine the significant difference in the respondent's assessment of the selection and utilization of instructional materials when grouped according to their characteristics. Findings show that respondents in Araling Panlipunan have an above-average level of assessment in utilizing instructional materials. The respondents' assessments of the utilization of instructional materials in Araling Panlipunan were significantly different when grouped by age. It is recommended that DepEd should conduct regular training on the utilization of instructional materials in Araling Panlipunan, orient all teachers concerning Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) related to the production of instructional materials, and train teachers on the alignment of curriculum standards, learning objectives and the designed instructional materials of the teachers.    本研究旨在确定2022-2023学年期间，米萨米斯东方省（Misamis Oriental）中学阿灵·潘利普南（Araling Panlipunan，菲律宾社会研究学科）教师对教学材料使用情况的评估水平。具体而言，本研究旨在达成以下目标：a）描述受访教师的特征；b）明确受访教师对阿灵·潘利普南学科教学材料使用情况的评估水平；c）探究按受访教师的特征分组时，其在教学材料使用评估上是否存在显著差异。 本研究的受访对象为米萨米斯东方省学区内选定高中现任的150名阿灵·潘利普南学科教师。本研究采用的问卷改编自菲律宾教育部（Department of Education，简称DepEd）2011年第76号命令《学习资源管理与开发系统》（The Learning Resource Management and Development Systems）。 本研究使用描述性统计方法（包括频数、百分比、均值与标准差）对研究中的变量进行描述；采用t检验与F检验，探究按教师特征分组时，其在教学材料选择与使用评估上的显著差异。 研究结果显示，阿灵·潘利普南学科教师对教学材料使用的评估水平处于中上水平。按年龄分组时，受访教师的教学材料使用评估结果存在显著差异。 据此，本研究建议菲律宾教育部定期开展阿灵·潘利普南学科教学材料使用相关培训，面向全体教师开展教学材料制作相关的知识产权（Intellectual Property Rights，简称IPR）培训，并针对教师如何将课程标准、学习目标与自主设计的教学材料进行匹配开展专项培训。
