Republic of the Philippines Department of Education REGION III-CENTRAL LUZON TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF ADM MODULES Grace R. Mero,EdD Writer/Teacher III Republic of the Philippines Department of Education REGION III-CENTRAL LUZON Prior to the implementation of the K-12 Curriculum, learning resources for various ADMs such as modules have been developed and were proven effective as shown by various past evaluations. Furthermore, considering our fast changing society, the ADM learning resources must help students acquire the needed 21st century skills. For these reasons, redeveloped learning resources for ADM are necessary. Republic of the Philippines Department of Education REGION III-CENTRAL LUZON The learning resources for the K to 12 program are also used for ADMs. However, one feature of ADM is flexible learning which allows the learners to learn by considering their convenience for time and or location. Hence, learning resources although aligned to the curriculum, must be designed in order to meet the needs and circumstances of learners. ADMs may require learning resources that are designed for independent or self-paced study. In view of this, a module is considered an appropriate learning resource for ADM learners. Republic of the Philippines Department of Education REGION III-CENTRAL LUZON A module is a type of learning resource that is essentially self-contained, self- instructional package, with learning paced by the student according to his or her individual needs and ability (Ali, et.al, 2010). Republic of the Philippines Department of Education REGION III-CENTRAL LUZON Specifically, the target learners of ADMs are the following: ■late enrollees; ■working students; ■over age learners; ■marginalized learners; ■learners from a transient family; ■learners who are in conflict with law; ■learners with poor medical condition; ■learners whose residence is far from the school; ■victims from natural calamities and armed conflict; ■learners who need to take care of the siblings and do other household chores; ■learners who are on difficult circumstances (i.e early pregnancy, with family problems/feuds; and ■learners who are affected by class suspensions because of natural hazard and/ or national/local celebrations.
