An Inquiry-Based Learning Module for General Mathematics: Its’ Development and Evaluation

April Mae C. Lumabit | Roberto G. Sagge Jr.

 

Abstract:

Through exploration and challenging questions, students are kept interested in their learning through inquiry-based learning. This study's objective was to develop and evaluate an inquiry-based learning module for general mathematics for students in grade 11. The study was conducted at two secondary schools with one hundred forty-one Grade 11 students and four mathematics teachers as respondents. When obtaining data for the study, a questionnaire checklist was utilized to describe and evaluate the developed module using the descriptive-evaluative method. The modified Borg and Gall model, which includes curriculum guide inspection, planning, product development, assessment instrument design, development of the instructional materials, validation of mathematics teachers and experts, revisions, limited student trial, and the finalization of the instructional material, was used in the development of the module. On the following criteria: objectives, contents, activities, style and presentation, organization, creativity, and assessment, the respondents were asked to rate the worktext. The final result shows that the generated module was verbally rated as "very good" in terms of objectives, contents, activities, style and presentation, organization, creativity, and assessment. The respondents rated the produced module as "very good" in general. This indicates that the generated module satisfies the criteria with a minimum number of revisions. To facilitate teaching and learning, the researcher recommends Grade 11 teachers and students use the developed inquiry-based learning module for General Mathematics.
