Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on education, this study addresses the challenges faced by Filipino educators in delivering quality STEM education and fostering disaster preparedness through modular distance learning. The research aimed to improve Grade 8 learners' mastery level of understanding typhoon and earthquake preparedness through STEM modules using the seven-stage context-based STEM teaching approach as a format. The study used a one-group pretest-posttest design with qualitative support. Based on the results, there is a significant shift from an AVERAGE to MOVING TOWARDS MASTERY LEVEL in learners' understanding of typhoon and earthquake preparedness. The evaluation of emergency preparedness plans and kits underscored the effectiveness of the STEM modules in promoting disaster preparedness. Qualitative insights revealed the benefits and the challenges faced of the participants in using the STEM modules. Furthermore, this study recommends the implementation of STEM modules to a large-scale respondent to cross-validate the findings.
