Modern Vs. Traditional: Comparing The Instructional Materials Utilized By Tertiary Students In Learning Language Subjects

Abstract

This study aims to explore the instructional materials favored by tertiary language-major students, specifically concentrating on those utilized for Filipino-related subjects. Thirty (30) respondents were invited to participate in order to determine the level and factors involved in the use of instructional materials. Employing a quantitative descriptive research approach, this study systematically documents and analyzes the utilization patterns and associated aspects using a survey questionnaire. The findings reveal a significant contrast in the utilization of traditional and modern instructional materials, with modern materials garnering a higher mean score of 3.19 compared to 2.63 for traditional materials. This suggests a preference for modern materials despite the relatively close mean scores. Consequently, the researchers concluded that modern instructional materials are more commonly utilized in teaching language subjects.
