ABSTRACT

One of the most effective tools improvised by teachers in addressing the needs of the learners in mastering concepts in various subjects during distance learning is the Self-Learning Kit (SLK). The SLK is a tool that enhances understanding and develops creativity through manipulative processes and thinking skills. It also relates the lesson to the real world and creates self-confidence in the students (2). The researcher adopted the SLK in EPP lessons. With this, she assessed the extent of implementation of the said learning material.
As the Department of Education (DepEd) further emphasizes, SLK is an innovative tool meeting the standards of the K-12 Curriculum in providing the teachers and learners relevant and localized content. A supplemental learning resource (SLR) was initially made, produced, modified, or contextualized by a teacher. It is a simplified and modularized form of learning material consisting of systematically sequenced materials for learning. In short, it is a simplified module aligned to the needs of the learners using it. It was revealed in this study that among the Grade V pupils enrolled in the current school year, most of them are girls. Most of these pupils chose the modular distance learning modality. It was also revealed that the extent of the implementation of SelfLearning Kit (SLK) in Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP) had a very satisfactory rating taking into consideration the indicators included in this study like teacher’s training on process and format of the SLK, quality assurance, pre-implementation, implementation and postimplementation, evaluation and monitoring. Based on the result, SLK is suited to use supplementary learning materials to have an easy understanding of the concept and attain the learning objective. It is recommended to adopt the implementation plan crafted based on the findings of this study.
