Development of Worktext in Chemistry 101

This study aimed to develop a worktext in Chemistry 101 for the College of Technology students. Specifically, the study sought to determine the level of performance in Chemistry 101, to develop a worktext in Chemistry 101 and determine its validity and usability. This study used the descriptive method to evaluate and validate the developed worktext using the questionnaire-checklist in gathering data. It was conducted at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University-Mid La Union Campus during the school year 2015-2016 with 1179 students as subjects for the level of performance, and 327 students and six faculty members teaching Chemistry subject as respondents. Frequency and weighted means were used in the analysis and interpretation of the data. The findings revealed that the first year COT students from school years 2012-2013 to 2015-16 have a passing performance. Further, the developed worktext has a very high validity and is very useful as perceived by the students.
