Abstract:
This study aimed to develop a worktext in Chemistry
101 for the College of Technology students.
Specifically, the study sought to determine the level of
performance in Chemistry 101, to develop a worktext
in Chemistry 101 and determine its validity and
usability. This study used the descriptive method to
evaluate and validate the developed worktext using the
questionnaire-checklist in gathering data. It was
conducted at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State
University-Mid La Union Campus during the school
year 2015-2016 with 1179 students as subjects for the
level of performance, and 327 students and six faculty
members teaching Chemistry subject as respondents.
Frequency and weighted means were used in the
analysis and interpretation of the data. The findings
revealed that the first year COT students from school
years 2012-2013 to 2015-16 have a passing
performance. Further, the developed worktext has a
very high validity and is very useful as perceived by the
students.
