Development and Evaluation of Academic Learning Modules by the Faculty of Architecture and Fine Arts of Bulacan State University Using Grammarly Software by the Library Service

The use of modules encourages independent study. It direct students to practice or rehearse information. To gain mastery of the concepts, exercises are given following the progression of activities from easy to difficult. The arrangement of the exercises as such formalizes the level of difficulty that the learners can perform. Another benefit of using modules for instruction is the acquisition of a better self-study or learning skills among students. Students engage themselves in learning concepts presented in the module. This study used the descriptive method in the development and evaluation of academic learning modules. The modules were evaluated using Grammarly software to determine the plagiarized content and grammar correctness of each and every module. Findings shows that there are twelve Permanent and Part-time faculty members in the Architecture Program collaborated in developing 17 Modules, five faculty members in Fine Arts Program that produced 11 Modules and 2 faculty member in Landscape Architecture Program that produced 5 Modules. Based on the result of plagiarism check of the 33 modules run in Grammarly checker software, 66.66% or 22 out 33 of the modules contain above 10% detected plagiarized content. The results of Grammarly check is ranging from 60+% to 80+% at the average of correct grammar content. Researches of similar nature of the study may be conducted to validate the findings of the study.
