Development and Validation of an Interactive Teaching Module for Statics of Rigid Bodies

Education in the general sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. Education in the 21st century contains interactive white boards, tablets, mp3 players, laptops, etc. where teachers are encouraged to embed these technological devices in the curriculum in order to enhance students learning and meet the needs of various types of learners. To solve problems in the teaching-learning process in the college of engineering in MSEUF, the development and validation of interactive teaching modules for Statics of Rigid Bodies was proposed. The instructional material for Statics of Rigid Bodies was prepared based on the Course Syllabus of the professor referring to the CHED CMO for engineering courses. Rapid Application Development enabled the researchers to develop and construct the interactive module and Joint Application Development for the detailed design of the system. The evaluation on the developed interactive module showed that IT experts strongly agree that the system is complete, correct and appropriate and performs efficiently, the students are very much interested on the module, easy to understand but the exercises are moderately difficult to answer. The student respondents also believed that the module enhanced their knowledge, skills and attitude very much. The faculty respondents strongly agree that the module is very much acceptable , relevant and useful to the needs of the students, lessons are very much measurable and the content is very attractive. The students improved their learning knowledge and skills shown from compared T-test results of pretest and posttest.
