Development and Curricular Validity Evaluation of a Contextualized Instructional Modules in Food Processing, Packaging and Labeling

Abstract This study aimed to develop a contextualized instructional module that will suit the students’ needs to supplement the teaching-learning process of knowledge and skills of the future educators. The study focused on the development and curricular validity evaluation of a contextualized instructional material in food processing, packaging, and labeling guided by ADDIE and limited to Analysis, Design, Development, and Validation. The module will help in improving and developing the students in a particular area of specialization, monitor their information adaptation, and contribute to their overall development and education. The curricular validity evaluation of the Objectives, Learning task, Learning content practice task, Format and Language, Presentation, and Usefulness of IM was determined using a validated evaluation instrument. The instrument, together with the IM, was distributed to various institutions to thirty-one IM development experts, TVL teachers handling the subjects, and industry practitioners. Thirty-three students participated to evaluate the acceptability of the modules in terms of content, objectives, presentation, and style, and activities. Results showed that both curricular validity and acceptability evaluation of the contextualized modules are highly acceptable and can be implemented. The study is important in providing a validated IM for students to improve their proficiency in the core subjects.
