Abstract

The development and validation of future-proof instructional materials for learners with special needs along with difficulty in applying knowledge in DepEd Camarines Sur focused on descriptive qualitative research design. Pre and post-test assessments were done through testing and direct observations. Likewise, informal interviews were done with the group of special education teachers and parents in order to gauge how they conducted and facilitated the entire process of assessing the students in different groups. Furthermore, in order to get the content reliability of the materials, format, and language level acceptability, a series of validation and try out was done by school administrators and area supervisors in DepEd Camarines Sur. For difficulty in applying knowledge, the objectives explored the learner’s capacity to understand the parts of the body and the role they play. The researcher also includes the SKPL (Sistema ng Kumunikasyon sa Pagpapalitan ng Larawan) booklet to heighten the ability to solve problems with navigation, or with visualization of faces, scenes, and objects. The instructional materials developed contain steps that the learners followed. A set of scoring rubrics was used based on a specific set of criteria.
