Abstract

Instructional design is a systematic process that uses instructional theory and art science learning to produce effective and engaging educational materials in a supportive environment. Along with developing activities and resources, instructional design also includes analyzing the needs and concerns of learners. This research generally sought to design and develop a training package and instructional material for teaching thesis writing among pre-service teachers of Mindanao State University at Naawan. This research employed the research and developmental (R and D) research design utilizing the Dick and Carey Model, a structured method of instructional design that highlights relationships among all elements in the teaching and learning processes. Results revealed that pre-service teachers lacked training in research writing and had a moderate level of competency in research; a training package in the form of learning intervention using an instructional module was developed through a seminar-workshop; instruments used to assess the training are Teaching Pedagogy, Materials, and Exercise, Satisfaction with the Program (SAT), Learning Environment, and Program Schedule (PS). Meanwhile, a researcher-made performance assessment for effectiveness and efficiency of the instructional material developed through Spearman rank rho correlation yielded a reliable result; instructional strategies were used in the implementation of the training package; ADDIE Model was used to design and develop the instructional material; the Dick and Carey Model was used to create the training package; and the training was found to be effective and efficient. The instructional material was effective, as shown in the performance scores of pre-service teachers.
