TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

OF ADM MODULES

Grace R. Mero,EdDWriter/Teacher III




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.




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.




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).




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.




Purpose of the ADM Learning Resources

Standards

*Provide public schools and learning centers

(teachers and learners) with diverse, quality,

accessible, cost-effective, and appropriate learning

resources to have effective and efficient learning

outcomes, DepEd establishes the following

standards on managing and developing ADM

learning resources.




*This will be the guide in developing learning

resources such as modules. With these standards,

all types of learners shall have access to learning

opportunities with appropriate learning resources

that are friendly and flexible.
