The current context of educational perspectives amidst the pandemic is to provide the
learning modalities have been in place in the field to ensure that learners are not comprised with
their learning. Online distance education in particular is a challenging modality that may ease the
acquisition of learning while the schools are prohibited to implement instruction in a face-to-face
fashion. However, the assurance that learning has taken place in an online distance education
was merely the one of the major challenges the education sector is facing at present. Thus, the
efficacy of self-learning materials has been explored in order to secure that learning was not

INTRODUCTION
Rationale
The challenging crisis in education brought about by the pandemic has been a big deal for
education sector to strategically address the current context of education. Even in the face-to-face
instruction, the Department of education is in place to intervene the abrupt shift of the curriculum
to K to 12 where existing curriculum competencies are necessary to ensure that Filipino learners
are developing in a spiral progression system. The unprecedented pandemic brought the
education policy makers to make sure that education must continue. As cited from Deped order
no. 12. s. 2020, entitled the adoption of basic education learning continuity plan in light of the
covid-19 public health emergency,which provide guidance to all offices, units, community
learning centers, learners , parents, partners and stakeholders a package of learning interventions
that will respond to basic education challenges brought about by covid-19 pandemic. The core
methodology and principles behind this issuance are DepEd embarked on the development of the
BE-LCP to enable learners of basic education to continue learning, and for teachers to be able to
deliver instruction in a safe work and learning environment amid the threat of COVID-19. This
BE-LCP also emphasized the adoption of Most Essential Leaning Competencies (MELCs) to be
delivered in multiple learning modalities and platforms which are used nationwide. This key
feature of the BE-LCP provided an avenue for teachers to be guided on their instructional
programming in specific learning area. The streamline of the K to 12 curriculum into MELCS is
distance education.
Strengthening the teaching of science is one of the key features of the K to 12 basic
Education curriculum. Bevins and Price, 2015 have undertaken a report of consultation exercise
on New Curriculum and Senior High School System in the Philippines in which they emphasized
that the K-12 science curriculum describes the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding
that all pupils should develop. Also, they stressed out that the curriculum claims in the
core subjects in the SHS curriculum focused on its course description on Evolution of our
understanding of matter, motion, electricity, magnetism, light, and the universe from ancient
times to the present; applications of physics and chemistry concepts in contexts such as
technology, drugs, sources of energy, pollution and recycling, fitness and health, and cosmetics.
Science teachers as vital component in the educative process must be competent enough
on the selection on pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning and should have a high level
of competencies in developing suitable learning materials that can be used to attain the desired
learning competencies. The study conducted by Rogayan and Dollete (2016) with the recent
implementation of the K-12 curriculum in the Philippines, teachers are challenged to develop
materials for use have been prepared for the required senior high school (SHS) competencies.

particular, the workbook was acceptable in terms of adequacy, coherence, appropriateness and
usefulness. Student-validators who were enrolled in a physical science course also rated the

analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation model may serve as a prototype
for the development of workbooks for other courses in the K-12 SHS curriculum. Further review

Literature Review
The ultimate goal of education in the present times is to make the learners learn
independently. Various approaches to teaching and learning have been introduced to diverse
kinds of learners. The self-directed learning is very common approach to teaching and learning
where the learners are given time independently to attain certain learning competencies. In its
broadest meaning, a learning strategy which allows learners take charge of their own learning
process (diagnosis learning needs, identify learning goals, select learning strategies, and evaluate
process, or “Learning in which decision around what to learn, how to learn it, and how to decide
if one has learned something well enough are all in the hands of learners.
Numerous studies have been conducted on the implementation and use of self-directed
learning (SDL) in different education sectors. The study conducted by Villabos & Destacamento,
2016 documented the students’ self-directed learning (SDL) qualities and determines its relation
to student’s age. The study assessed the SDL qualities of the students in terms of self- concept,
ability to use basic problem solving skills. The study tests the association of students’ age with
their self-directed learning qualities. It was found out that among the six areas of SDL qualities
assessed, the area of creativity obtained the lowest mean value in all of the age groups. It also
shows that the level of SDL increases as age group increases. The age group 16 to 17 years old
obtained the lowest average mean values in all of the six SDL qualities. The study reveals a
The above cited study was also supported by the research conducted by Sanjaya &
Jatmiko, 2017 in order to test the validity of self-directed learning skills in Physics in a distance
education system. In their study, they introduced Physics Independent Learning (PIL) model to
improve Self-directed and Problem-solving skills in open and distance education. The research
was conducted to validate the effectiveness of PIL model. This research was conducted using
focus group discussions of experts that consisted of three science education experts and applies

Indonesia. Before applying the lesson using the PIL model, the students are given pre-test and
after accomplishing the learning, the students are given post-test. The data collected from pre-
test and post-test then is further analyzed by means of validity coefficient. The result of research
In the area of language education, the effect of SDL in increasing proficiency levels was
also investigated. The study conducted by Xuan, Razali & Samad, 2018 made a realistic view on
self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) among high school students from high and low
proficiency levels to learn English language. The main aim of the study is to investigate students’

Morever, the use and impact of Self-directed learning (SDL) have been also explored in
higher education settings. In the context of undergraduate levels, Mukaddesors, 2018 studied the
sustainability in Nursing and Midwifery education. The aim of the study was to determine the
level of self-directed learning readiness of undergraduate students of nursing and midwifery. The
study also investigated whether there were associations between the level of self-directed

learning readiness and selected demographic variables such as gender, department, academic
level and monthly income in the undergraduate students. Quantitative research method was used
in this research. The study revealed that nursing and midwifery students had relatively high self-
directed learning readiness. However, students received the lowest score for the self-
management dimension, which indicates that students need support in self-management skills.
In like manner, SDL was investigated for sport and physical education. Toto & Limone,
2019 empirically investigated the Self-directed learning applied to sport and physical education.
performance in an effective and efficient way. The data were collected by 20 secondary school
students, engaged in an 80 m fast running performance, divided into two groups: the first group
followed the SDL methodology and the second group followed traditional training programme
led by a schoolteacher. The results obtained demonstrated that the SDL in sports performance, if
not performed by professionals in which the practice is already validated, obtained poor results
in terms of both outcomes and perception. The result of this experimental work provided the
basis for the interventions that promote the SDL methodology applied to sport and physical
education within formal school contexts, still used today in informal and sporting contexts.
In science education, several research studies have been conducted to investigate the
effect of SDL in improving and enhancing scientific literacy. The collaborative research
conducted by Hew, Law, Wan, Lee & Kwok, 2016 regarding the enabling factors that could
foster SDL in teaching science has provided empirical data to recommend SDL in primary and
secondary education. According to them, the notion of self-directed learning (SDL) has gained

prominence in many education institutes around the world. However, few studies detail the
specific enabling factors that could foster SDL in primary and secondary school science
education. The researchers utilized a mixed method of research consisting of 10 primary and 7
secondary schools. Building upon four key SDL representation models, they developed three-
dimensional SDL conceptual framework to guide the analysis of the specific leadership-,
teacher-, and student-related factors that could foster SDL in science education. Five key
As the challenges of educative process have grown exponentially, various teaching and
learning interventions have been introduced in the field to address the current needs of the
present context of education. The Department of Education as the concern agency has been
working hard by thinking and innovating several means to cater the educational need of the
diverse Filipino learners. The paradigm shift of education from traditional way to 21st Century

they will never lose their enthusiasm for learning and will be lifelong learners in this case.
The instructor must have the necessary skills and techniques to encourage students to
engage in self-directed learning (SDL). However, many teachers believe that motivating students
to participate in SDL is challenging. The use of e-learning resources is one way to support
students on their journey to become lifelong learners. (Amandu, Muliira & Fronda, 2013)

Predicating from these statements, this study will attest the use of SDL through video-
based context in a form of VideoBlog which is also an e-learning material. Similarly, Brecht

concluded that “Video lectures” are compact and give students control over the material.
Students can rewind and pause portions of the lecture to get a clearer understanding of the
content. They have the option of skipping over parts of the topic that they are already acquainted
with. Students can also alter the delivery pace and topic selection of the teacher to fit their own
learning needs. Learners can learn by watching the lecture anytime and wherever it is most
Theoretical Framework
The Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) centers on the idea that
learners attempt to build meaningful connections between words and pictures and that they learn
more deeply than they could have with words or pictures alone (Mayer, 2009). According to
CTML, one of the principle aims of multimedia instruction is to encourage the learner to build a
coherent mental representation from the presented material. The learner’s job is to make sense of

efficiently. Baddeley’s model of working memory, Paivio’s dual coding theory, and Sweller’s
theory of cognitive load are integral theories that support the overall theory of multimedia
learning. The theory can be summarized as having the following components: (a) a dual-channel
structure of visual and auditory channels, (b) limited processing capacity in memory, (c) three
memory stores (sensory, working, long-term), (d) five cognitive processes of selecting,
organizing, and integrating (selecting words, selecting images, organizing work, organizing
images, and integrating new knowledge with prior knowledge), and theory-grounded and

Andragogy, also known as “adult learning theory”, was proposed by Malcolm Shepard Knowles
(1968). Previously, much research and attention had been given to the concept of pedagogy –
teaching children. Knowles recognized that there are many differences in the ways that adults
learn as opposed to children. His thoughts surrounding andragogy sought to capitalize on the
Knowles proposed “a new label and a new technology” of adult learning to distinguish it
from pre-adult schooling. European concept of andragogy, which he defined as “the art and
science of helping adults learn,” was contrasted with pedagogy, the art and science of helping
children learn (Knowles, 1980, p. 43). The five assumptions underlying andragogy describe the
adult learner as someone who (1) has an independent self-concept and who can direct his or her
own learning, (2) has accumulated a reservoir of life experiences that is a rich resource for
learning, (3) has learning needs closely related to changing social roles, (4) is problem-centered
and interested in immediate application of knowledge, and (5) is motivated to learn by internal
rather than external factors. From these assumptions, Knowles proposed a program planning
model for designing, implementing, and evaluating educational experiences with adults.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The research design used in the study was Quasi-Experimental design which, according
to Price, Jhangiani & Chiang (2013) “Research methods in psychology-2 nd edition”. Chapter 7:
posttest designs, and disrupted time-series designs are among the most common. Since it entails
manipulating the independent variable, quasi-experimental testing avoids the directionality issue.
However, since it does not require arbitrary assignment of situations, it does not eradicate the
The researcher used this method because its system of strategizing problem best explains
the goal of this study. Thus, the researcher can clearly identify if there is a significant difference
between the experimental and control groups' post-test outcomes by using this approach.
However, to simply randomize whether the researcher applies different innovative teaching
strategy or not in terms of teaching and learning process with regards in employing self-directed
learning materials may not be totally certain; for others believe that:, regardless of the teacher's
teaching style, the students' interest in the subject or eagerness to learn is what determines their
success.

Data Analysis
For data analysis, this study utilized the following statistical tools:
observations that exists for each data point or grouping of data points. It is a particularly
useful method of expressing the relative frequency of survey responses and other data.
Many times, these are displayed as tables, bar graphs or pie charts. The process of
creating a percentage frequency distribution first involves identifying the total number of
each data point or grouping of data points; and then dividing the number of observations
within each data point or grouping of data points by the total number of observations.

Magpapalayok National High School. The researcher conducted the study by administering a
pre- and post-test. It was provided to the Grade 11 SHS experimental class, which had 58
students, as well as the control class, which had 58 students; a total of 116 respondents.
The research instrument has 60 items drawn from the students' Physical Science lectures
from Weeks 6 to 8. Both groups were given a pre-test before starting treatment using Vlog in a
Blog (Self-Directed Learning Materials) in the experimental class and no treatment in the control
class. Students' background knowledge on the aforementioned lessons were shown by the pre-
test scores. After getting the result of pre-test from both groups, the researcher gave treatment for
the students by giving the links of the website where the narrative and video lesson could be
found for the experimental class and traditional learning for the controlled group. After doing the
treatment, the researcher gave a post-test for both groups consist of the same set of questions: 60

treatment was seemed to be at average. The student at this level has developed the fundamental
knowledge and skills and core understandings and with little guidance from the teacher and or
with some assistance from peers, can transfer these understandings through authentic
performance tasks (RBEC, 2012). In the same manner, similar result was obtained for a level of
proficiency for the control group with a 34.48 percent (f=20) developing proficiency.
In reference to the published work of Agongay, the student at this level possesses the
minimum knowledge and skills and core understandings, but needs help throughout the
performance of authentic tasks. Generally, the overall results revealed that the learners of this

2012 describes that the student at this level has developed the fundamental knowledge and skills

from peers, can transfer these understandings through authentic performance tasks. It is
interesting to note that in this group of learners, seventeen (17) or 29.31 % revealed a proficient

Tularam (2018) compares the traditional and non-traditional teaching and learning
strategies/approaches, the case of e-learning. According to his work, the traditional teaching
approaches are generally teacher-directed and where students are taught in a manner that is
conducive to sitting and listening. It is true that the traditional expectations and department
philosophies often allow us to continue with the lecture-based model with some useful results as
evident by the past accomplishments of many and this cannot be disputed as much. However, it
is often argued that the traditional approach may not provide students with valuable skills and
indeed some even go as far as saying the traditional method leads to a student not retaining
knowledge after exams - they have little or no recall of the body of knowledge learnt beyond the

most of the learners in the experimental have shown an advance (A) proficiency (f=41, 70.69%)
after they were exposed to Self-directed Learning (SDL) using Vlog in a Blog in Physical
Science topics. Also, eight (8) or 13.79% of these learners have manifested a Proficient (P) level.
The high level of improvements clearly suggested that the utilization of Self-directed
Learning (SDL) was effective. Comparably, the Post-test mean score of the Experimental group
is higher than the control group, who did not receive the Self-Directed treatment unlike the
experimental class. The effectiveness rate of the treatment supplied to the experimental group
against traditional learning obtained by the control group is seen in these data. The increased

As referenced to a study conducted by Hosseini Bidokht & Assareh (2011) suggests that
students must be self-directed learners to address challenges and problems in this current process
of social change. Students should not be expected to act as encyclopedias; rather, they should be
able to think objectively and creatively. Teachers and the elderly will encourage their child to
think about themselves as problem solvers and self-directed learners; as a result, they will never
lose their enthusiasm for learning and will be lifelong learners in this case.

Table 10 presented the significant difference between the post-test scores of experimental
and control group. Also, the corresponding z value, p value and verbal description were
summarized.
Table 10
Significant difference between the post-test scores of experimental and control group
Results showed that a p-value <0.05 which clearly indicates the rejection of null
hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the post test scores of experimental and
control group. Therefore, there was significant difference among the mean scores of
experimental and control groups with regards to their post test scores.
It could be inferred that the difference was brought about by the implementation of
treatments introduced. The raw data from the experimental group showed a large difference in
scores as compared to the control group. This means that learner who are exposed to Self-
directed Learning (SDL) have improved much in terms of proficiency in physical science as
compared to treatment or traditional approach given to the control group. Self-directed Learning
(SDL) is therefore effective when it comes to improving the proficiency of the learners.
Similarly, IGI Global states that the ultimate goal of education in the present times is to
make the learners learn independently. Various approaches to teaching and learning have been
introduced to diverse kinds of learners. The self-directed learning is very common approach to
teaching and learning where the learners are given time independently to attain certain learning
competencies.

Since the p-value is p < .05, it means that the null hypothesis: “There is no significant difference
in the pre-test and post-test scores of the control group” is rejected. Therefore, it could be noted
that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of learners who
The significant difference established clearly indicates that the use of traditional approach
to teaching physical science topics was effective. A study conducted by Alaagib, Musa & Saeed

Table 12 presents the significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of
the Experimental group with regards to the effectiveness of Self-Directed Learning Material/s.
Table 12
Significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of experimental group
According to table 12, the p-value of the mean scores from the pre-test and post test
results of the Experimental group is 0.000 at a 0.05 significant level. Since the p-value is p < .05,
it means that the null hypothesis: “There is no significant difference in the pre-test and post-test
scores of the experimental group” is rejected. Therefore, it could be noted that there was a
significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of learners who are in the
experimental group.
The significant difference established clearly indicates that the use of Vlog in a Blog
approach to teaching physical science topics was effective. Similarly, several research studies
have been conducted to investigate the effect of SDL in improving and enhancing scientific
literacy. The collaborative research conducted by Hew, Law, Wan, Lee & Kwok, 2016 regarding

the enabling factors that could foster SDL in teaching science has provided empirical data to
recommend SDL in primary and secondary education. According to them, the notion of self-
directed learning (SDL) has gained prominence in many education institutes around the world.

The results above showed that the experimental class, who received Self-Directed
Learning treatment, had higher mean scores in both examinations than the control group who on
the other hand, received traditional instruction. Using the mean scores from both tests, it was also
discovered that there is a significant difference between the Control and Experimental groups'
pre-test and post-test scores. According to the table of score criteria, the Experimental class's
post-test scores are on the "Advanced" level, which is higher than the Control group's score,
These results are related to a claim from VanderArk & Schneider (2012) which states that
students benefit from greater personalization as a result of digital learning, which contributes to
deeper learning and provides students with inspiration and persistence. Amandu, Muliira &
Fronda (2013) also support the results of this study stating that the use of e-learning resources is
The findings also revealed that there is a significant difference between each group's pre-
test and post-test scores. However, when comparing the Experimental and Control groups' post-
test mean scores, the Experimental group had a higher degree of progress than the Control group.
Based on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) by Mayer (2009), one
of the principle aims of multimedia instruction is to encourage the learner to build a coherent
mental representation from the presented material. Therefore, utilizing a Vlog in a Blog approach
in educating the students will not just benefit with their academic proficiency alone but also
learning process, using Vlog in Blog is effective. Based on this research’s findings, there is a
significant difference between the students (experimental group) scores before and after being
taught using Vlog in a Blog approach. Thus, it can be concluded that Self-Directed Learning
