Abstract
The CoViD-19 pandemic has brought challenges in the learning continuity of school children. New normal learning amidst the current pandemic demands the use of technology and the internet. This study aimed to determine if the web-based learning modules (WLM) have significant effects on the performance of the students in Senior High School (SHS) General Chemistry 1. Before utilizing the WLM, the students got lower actual mean of 23.66 in the pretest which was 6.34 lower than the hypothetical mean. Results further revealed that the students who used WLM got an actual mean of 48.42 in the post-test which was 18.42 higher than the hypothetical mean. Moreover, the students in the WLM acquired a mean gain of 24.75 with a standard deviation of 4.21. The study found a significant mean gain between the pretest and posttest performance of the Grade 11 students in General Chemistry 1 using the WLM. The results affirmed a great improvement in the performance of the students from the pretest to the posttest. The results imply the use of WLM as a great supplemental learning tool that allows learners to go through the material at their own pace exploring the contents of the modules. Thus, the model for the module development can be used in the teaching and learning across the grade level curriculum.
