Abstract
This study aims to strengthen early language skills among Kindergarten learners by evaluating the effectiveness of instructional materials in teaching Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) as a foundational learning area in the K to 12 Curriculum in Aguilar District, Schools Division Office I of Pangasinan for School Year 2023-2024. Utilizing a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool, the study assessed the proficiency levels of Kindergarten learners, identified areas of difficulty in learning the Mother Tongue, and determined the acceptability of support instructional materials based on specific evaluation criteria by Kindergarten teachers in Aguilar District, Schools Division Office I of Pangasinan. The study examined the Kindergarten learners' performance in the Mother Tongue through an analysis of teacher-made test results, pinpointed learning gaps in relation to instructional objectives, and assessed the effectiveness of proposed instructional materials in addressing these weaknesses. The study involved nineteen (19) Kindergarten teachers as respondents and thirty-five (35) Kindergarten learners as subject respondents. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, and average weighted mean to address the study's research questions. The findings revealed the following: (1) The Kindergarten learners' proficiency in the Mother Tongue, based on the teacher-made test results, was at a level where 15 learners, or 42.86 percent, demonstrated significant learning gaps; (2) Kindergarten teachers identified that the learners exhibited weaknesses in using the Mother Tongue as a learning area, with an average weighted mean (AWM) of 3.35, categorizing them as "weak"; (3) The proposed instructional materials were found to be effective in addressing these learning gaps and enhancing the early language skills of Kindergarten learners; and (4) The instructional materials were evaluated as "acceptable" by Kindergarten teachers based on established criteria. Based on these findings, the study drew the following conclusions: (1) The overall proficiency level of Kindergarten learners in the Mother Tongue can still be enhanced; (2) The learners require additional support and targeted instructional interventions to strengthen their early language skills; (3) The proposed instructional materials effectively address the identified learning gaps and serve as valuable tools in improving language acquisition; and (4) Kindergarten teachers found the instructional materials to be acceptable for classroom implementation. In light of these conclusions, the study recommends the following: (1) The instructional materials should be submitted to DepEd officials for evaluation, reproduction, and potential district-wide implementation by Kindergarten teachers in the Aguilar District, Schools Division Office I Pangasinan; (2) The instructional materials should be integrated as supplementary resources for enhancing early language skills in the teaching of Mother Tongue; and (3) Further research should be conducted to validate and refine the findings of the present study, contributing to the development of a proposed framework for an effective early language learning design.
