Instructional Materials (IMs) were used in teaching Qualitative Research. The importance of it is undeniably as it assisted the learners in gaining knowledge. Hence, this paper employed a descriptive correlational method with the application of statistical tools in analyzing the findings. The researcher made a self-administered survey questionnaire which was distributed to the teachers who handled Qualitative Research under the Division of Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija through Google form. There was a total of 19 teachers who served as participants of the study. Most of them came from Muñoz National High School (Main) – Senior High School, belonging to early adulthood with 6-10 years in service, and mostly Teacher III. They use Google Meet/Classroom and self-paced learning modules in teaching qualitative research with their laptops as their common gadget.
The findings revealed that audio-visual materials, video lessons, learning activity sheets, and worksheets were the top chosen IMs used by teachers in teaching Qualitative Research. It was found out that there was a significant relationship between the profile of the respondents, particularly their age, in the use of IMs. In addition, there was a correlation between the integration of instructional materials and the topics in teaching Qualitative Research.
This research recommended a guide in teaching Practical Research I wherein the identified IMs are aligned with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCS)provided by the Department of Education (DepEd).
