Myra Benedicta D Salgado | Ronaldo L. Seras
Abstract:
The main purpose of the study was to explore and investigate the
lived experiences, challenges encountered and educational
insights learned from the module writer teachers in the
preparation of self-learning modules. The qualitative approach of
the 10 module writer teachers from the different elementary
schools in the Tugbok district on the lived experiences the in the
preparation of the self-learning modules was observed: limited
time in the module preparation, teachers’ consideration in module
preparation, module preparation through collaboration, planning
as requisite in module preparation. Coping mechanisms on the
challenges encountered by the module writer teachers in the
preparation of self-learning modules were as follows: managing
time effectively, poverty, teachers’ training in module writing,
collaborating with other writers and having a positive mindset.
Finally, the educational insights learned from the experiences of
the module writer teachers in the preparation of self-learning
modules were as follows: Module writing is a challenging task,
collaboration is the key to module preparation, and module
preparation is part of teachers’ commitment and teachers’ love
for learning. These themes can be described as an input in the
successful crafting and conduct of training for module writer
teachers in capacitating them on the different strategies and
techniques in crafting the self-learning modules.
