Development of Standardized Module Template for Outcomes-Based Teaching and Flexible Learning in HEI

Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to design a collaborative module based on the requirement of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) on outcomes-based teaching and flexible learning due to the emerging issues on pandemic that started this year all over the world.   Because of this unresolved global issue, most tertiary levels resorted to flexible learning as an alternative mode of face-to-face classroom. Admittedly, not all colleges and universities could afford the flexible learning environment, however, one of the solutions is to come up with a collaborative module that will continuously sustain and maintain the teaching and learning process.  To achieve this objective, the researcher used the qualitative approach and documentary analysis to review and assess the document’s points and arguments in developing a module applicable in HEI’s, to determine the various phases of module development, to enumerate the personnel involved in writing modules, and to identify the process of dissemination and distribution.   It was found out that there were no modules developed in the past in college under study. Thus, this proposed module will lead to an easy monitoring of instruction, aligned Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO’s), Teaching and Learning Activities (TLA), and Assessment Tasks (AT’s).  It was found that the college under study could employ the standardized module template for development of various courses. This study implies that the presence of collaborative course modules in HEI’s encourage teachers and students to improve the flexible learning system, the strategies of teaching, and the impact on student learning development.  The researcher recommends that the standardized module could be utilized in other colleges and universities for future collaboration and professional development.
