Acceptability of Paper Folding-Based Instructional Material in Geometry

Abstract

The study focused on the acceptability of a developed supplementary learning material (SLM) in geometry in terms of adequacy, clarity, contents, objectives, suitability and usefulness.  It was subjected to the scrutiny of competent DepEd Mathematics teachers and professors in mathematics at two universities, Romblon State University and De La Salle University.  The study concludes that the developed SLM titled “Paper Folding in Geometry” is highly acceptable in terms of adequacy, clarity, content, objectives, suitability, and usefulness.  It was also revealed that there is no significant difference between the level of acceptability between the teacher-evaluators from CHED and those from DepED. The development of the SLM is on its initial stage yet as it has to be pilot tested with grade six elementary pupils as participants.   Keywords: supplementary learning material, paper folding, development, validity
