Abstract: This study focuses on the development and quality assurance of weekly learning activity sheets (WLAS) for grade V Science in the third quarter. The research employed a descriptive developmental research design and utilized Field Testing Validation to measure the validity and usability of the crafted WLAS for both learners and teachers. Frequency and Percentage Distribution analysis were used to determine the responses of the Quality Assurance (QA) members using a standardized tool. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze qualitative data by consolidating the common responses of the QA members.
The study followed the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model as its research design, ensuring careful quality assurance of the WLAS. The development process of the WLAS encompassed the pre-development stage, development stage, and post-development stage.
The research findings indicate that Science has the lowest Mean Percentage Score (MPS) among all subjects for grade 5 students in the academic year 2021-2022. The performance data revealed that the third quarter had the lowest MPS compared to other quarters, which served as the basis for developing WLAS for grade 5 pupils. The development of the WLAS followed the ADDIE model, considering all learning competencies in the third quarter of grade 5 Science.
The validity and usability of the developed WLAS were found to be high, as evidenced by the favorable results and discussions of the field-testing conducted with learners and teachers. The standardized tool used to measure the WLAS showed positive responses from the QA members.
The study recommends that learners utilize the crafted WLAS as additional materials to master competencies. The utilization of the ADDIE model in crafting WLAS is essential to ensure the careful development of learning activity sheets through the three phases: pre-development, development, and post-development. The developed WLAS has met the quality assurance standards and can be implemented in the entire Division of Agusan del Norte. Teachers should be informed about the availability of the quality-assured WLAS on the LRMDS portal. Furthermore, the crafting of WLAS can be continued by the district or division to contextualize and localize appropriate materials for specific groups or ethnicities. Future researchers are encouraged to create their own WLAS or learning activity sheets for different subject areas and quarters.
