SELF LEARNING KIT

A learning module is otherwise known

as a self learning kit (SLK). It consists of
systematic sequenced materials for
learning. (F. Hidago, 1994) The teaching-
learning module in a vast variety of
subjects was proven effective as an
instructional tool. This is an innovation in
the education of new generation of
learners who are described as self-
directed learners.

The significance of learning modules is

based on the groundwork that college
students may learn through different
methods. Classroom discussion may
turn to be effective but may omit
essential part of learning and
understanding. Planning on how
students may learn still suggests that
there is no single methodology in their
learning process.

Significant learning should be self-

initiated and teachers should be there
to guide and to supervise progress. We
should let students discover what they
would like to discover in the subject
being introduced and give more
responsibility to them.

(Henson, 1995) Learning modules are

becoming popular education tools in schools
today. The teaching-learning module is an
effective instructional material, which is student-
centered and is geared towards the
development of the skill of “learning to
learn.”(Henson, 1995) As an instructional tool
and as a self-instructional material, the learning
module is an innovation in curriculum and
instruction, which is extensively used by
pragmatic institutions, and even trainers in valid
training programs.

(M. Wiske) The learning process used most

often is practicing, closely followed by reading.
Modules are learning tasks that are so
organized, sequenced and clearly stated, in
such a way that it provides sufficient direction
and guidance to students without the teacher
present all the time. This type of instruction is
called modularized instruction. Educators can
teach students to teach themselves because
students are self-directed learners and
students can also plan their next learning
adventures.
What is the importance of Self-
learning Kits
1. The need of instructional material in
modularized form is immediate and
intense for the reason that people value
time and effort. Students nowadays need
to finish a course the soonest time
possible for economic reasons. Students
as well need to finish a task or a course
in the most convenient and easy way
without sacrificing the quality of work.

2. There is a need to change the attitude of
students in as much as innovations in the
learning of students are needed. There is a
need to redirect them in a way that they may
maximize their participation in their learning
endeavor, which will make them even proud of
their active involvement in their education
without much help from their instructors.
Deviating from the traditional way to accomplish
a work using lesser effort and time will yield to
better result. This could be construed that this
constructive change in the system is another
milestone in education.

3. Through the creation of learning
materials, student-learning will be made
easier for the reason that all important
topics and lessons they need are already
put into one material making it possible
for students to conserve time, effort,
mobility and financial resources.

4. Another important reason why teachers must
embark on module making is the scarcity of
books, materials or references that is almost
complete. Modules prepared may give solution
to student’s difficulty in looking for materials
needed in their study. The offshoot of modular
instruction will benefit students taking up
Criminology by enriching their knowledge by
creating avenues through easy access to
information.

5. Including students in planning how to
meet the objectives, which are outlined
in the syllabus, is one of the best
experiences an educator may have.
Modifying the design to build their
knowledge of the subject and to fit
student’s needs should be the goal of
every teacher to deviate the passive and
dependent learning attitudes of students
as an effect of traditional academic
teaching.
