Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate an instructional module for teaching Social Studies in primary grades, aligned with the K to 12 Curriculum. The module was developed using the 4-D Model, which involves four stages: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate.

The developed module was validated by a panel of experts using a 4-point Likert scale to assess its alignment with learning outcomes, content accuracy, relevance to learners, instructional design, and assessment quality. The results of the validation indicated a high level of agreement among the experts, with overall mean scores ranging from 3.78 to 3.88, indicating a “strongly agree” rating.

While the module demonstrated strong alignment with the identified criteria, further research is recommended to fully assess its impact on student learning and achievement. Future studies may involve large-scale implementation, longitudinal analysis, and qualitative research to gather insights from teachers and students.
