DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF E-LEARNING PACKAGE IN RHYTHMIC ACTIVITIES

The main purpose of this paper was to develop and validate an e-learning package in Rhythmic Activities. Specifically, it sought the pretest and posttest scores in knowledge, comprehension, and analysis of the respondents in rhythmic activities and determined the significant difference between the pre-test and post-test before and after the use of e-material. The development of the output followed the ADDIE model comprised of five basic phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Descriptive research and quasi-experimental employing one group pre-test- post-test research design was employed in the study. Data were gathered using a test and checklist questionnaire from the 557 first-year college students and teachers of Southern Luzon State University in the Main and Satellite Campuses. Weighted mean and t-test for dependent samples were used as the statistical treatment. From the data gathered, it is concluded that first-year students have a low level of knowledge, comprehension, and analysis of the concepts in Rhythmic Activities. Thus, an e-learning package was developed. It elevates the knowledge, comprehension, and analysis of first-year college students in Rhythmic Activities making the e-learning package highly acceptable among the students and teachers.
