Enhancing Handicraft Education Through Interactive Instructional Materials: An Evaluation of Learning Effectiveness

An Interactive Instructional Material System for Handicraft at Camarines Norte State College has been established as the outcome of this research. Using weighted mean and ranking, its acceptability level was evaluated in terms of content, quality, functionality, and ease of use. Then, t-test was utilized to assess effectiveness of IIMS between the pre-test and post-test of the experimental and control groups of BTLED and BTVTED students. All the acceptability parameters resulted highly acceptable. Regarding the effectiveness, there is a significant difference between the pre-test and posttest of the control and experimental group. As a result, both groups of students can reject the null hypothesis. So, the study led to the conclusion that IIMS is an effective instructional material since experts and students have already expressed their strong agreement with the acceptability of its content, quality, functionality, and ease of use parameters. Nevertheless, the researcher recommends IIMS additional features upgrades, utilization of the crafted system as an additional instructional tool, crafting of much comprehensive manual and lastly, collaboration of faculty members and other researchers to carry out studies that is similar to or comparable to the completed study which will promote integration and development of technology-based instruction using different locales and a larger population to further validate the results of the study and continuous innovation for the field of TLE and TVL courses.
