Abstract: This study used a Quasi-experimental Design to determine the effects of modular instruction to third year BEED students of Eastern Samar State University (ESSU) who were exposed to lecture method and modular instruction in teaching word problem solving. Its purpose was to seek answers to the following questions: (1) Is there a significant difference in the pretest mean score? (2) Is there a significant difference in the posttest mean scores? (3)Is there a significant difference between the mean gainscores?Based on the pretest and posttest mean scores of both control and experimental groups, the following findings were formulated..............
