Author(s): Lovely Jane L Durante and Bert A Gamiao

Abstract:

This study developed and validated flipped learning materials (FLMs) in teaching drama. It utilized the research and development (R and D) design and the ADDIE model to cater to the special needs of ICT based learning materials. A panel of experts in teaching literature and in ICT design evaluated the materials.
Prior to the study, a survey among 277 Grade 9 students and 15 teachers from the secondary schools of the City Schools Division of Batac was conducted by the researcher to gather baseline data on the extent of students’ participation in the strategies employed in teaching drama and on the learning materials that may be developed to address the problems of students in learning drama. The result of the survey served as the basis in developing the flipped learning materials in this study.
The flipped learning materials in teaching drama employed the theories of blended learning, connectivism and flipped classroom. Twelve video lectures were developed, four for each drama which considered the principles of localization and contextualization. The presentation of video lectures followed the REACT model:
1. Relating and Experiencing;
2. Applying;
3. Cooperating; and
4. Transferring.
To test the effectiveness of the validated flipped learning materials, they were tried out by the researcher to Grade 9 students of City of Batac National High School Payao. Afterwards, the students evaluated the degree of their participation using a self-assessment checklist instrument. The flipped learning materials were found effective as shown by the assessment of students.
The flipped learning materials’ validity and effectiveness in teaching drama were determined using the weighted means and the rating of students’ assessment on their degree of participation. The results of the validation reveal that the learning materials meet the basic requirements for developing instructional materials as manifested by the overall very satis
