500			_aThis study sought to determine the effect of modular instruction on the academic achievement of second year students in Science and Technology II using two second year intact classes of Bagabag National High School at Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya. The study was deemed important since the use of developed module resulted in better academic achievement among the students in Science and Technology II. The significant findings and conclusion of this study are as follows: The students who were exposed to modular approach gained a higher academic achievement with a registered a mean score of 33.56, which is qualitatively described as "very good" as compared with those students who were exposed to traditional method of teaching with a mean score of 22.83 although it was also qualitatively described as "good". The two groups are comparable in terms of their pretest result since there is no significant difference between the pretest mean scores of the control and experimental group. The students learned through the traditional method as manifested in their mean scores in their pretest and post test. The experimental group learned through the modular approach since there is significant difference between the pretest and the posttest mean scores of the experimental group. Their mean score in the posttest is higher than their mean score in the pretest. The group who was exposed to the modular approach learned better than the group who was exposed to the traditional method of teaching as manifested in their posttest mean scores. In this study, it shows that the modules are effective and valid instructional materials. Considering the conclusion made, the researcher offers the following recommendations and suggestion: The learning module should be tried out further to another experimental group to substantiate its effect on the academic achievement of second year students. Students should be exposed to modular instruction to maximize their participation in the teaching-learning process and to gain more self confidence and independence. The study proved that modular teaching affect the academic achievement of second year students in Science and Technology II. This method should be applied to other subjects as well as other level of education. Therefore the teachers should use modular teaching to improve academic achievement of students. Since modular teaching in classroom setting affects academic achievement, Biology teacher should be provided training in module writing and teaching. Similar studies should be conducted on a wider scale using other topics in Biology.
