The K-12 curriculum which aimed to enhance the quality of basic education in the Philippines is a welcome development in our system of education in the country. The transfer of knowledge to the students is more effective if the learning materials are suited to the needs and abilities. This will only be achieved if the teacher can develop effective instructional materials for the students. With these perspective, the researcher decided to validate a K to 12 based supplemental worktext in Araling Panlipunan 9 of Tanza National Comprehensive High School for the year -2016-2017.
This research employed a quantitative design through an experimental approach to prove the effectiveness of the worktext.The descriptive analysis technique was used for deeper validation of the data from teachrs, experts and 50 students from Grade 9. Direct observation and questionnaires were applied to gather the data. Furthermore, t- test were administered to determine significant correlation between the Pre test and Post test-Quarterly Assessment results in Araling Panlipunan.
