The study concerned itself on developing an Information and Communications Technology (ICT)-based instructional material for Values Education subject for Grade 10. The instructional materials were in the form of a series of modules where information and communications technological concepts are integrated in the presentation of the lesson and in the student activities. The research subjects of this study were the Grade 10 students in Lareg-Lareg National High School. There are 100 participants in the study. This study was conducted this school year 2018-2019. In this research, developmental method is used when the researcher will develop and validate ICT-integrated module for Grade 10 students in Values Education. The proposed Information Communications and Technology based Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao 10 module was evaluated by the experts, the user and the end user using validated questionnaires. There were five evaluators for content validity, five evaluators for structure validity. Twenty high school teachers served as evaluators for the acceptability of the proposed instructional material and 100 students participated for the research. The researcher determined the validity of the proposed instructional material based on the evaluation of the higher authorities by distributing evaluation forms to the 5 validators. The level of acceptability of the proposed ICT-integrated instructional material was determined through an evaluation form distributed to the 20 teachers. And the researcher determined the level of competencies of the 100 Grade 10 students in Values Education by conducting a post-assessment after using the ICT-integrated Module in Values Education. This present study has the following salient findings: The average weighted mean of the criteria enumerated in the validation for content is 4.48 which is equivalent to extremely valid, the average weighted mean of the criteria enumerated in the validation for structure is 4.50 which is equivalent to extremely valid, the 20 teacher respondents considered the ICT-based instructional material as Very Highly Acceptable with a weighted mean of 4.53. There is a significant difference on the post test scores of the experimental group and the control group thus the researcher has the following conclusions: the developed module in Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao 10 possesses content validity and it is in line with the curriculum guide of Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao, therefore the module made by the researcher is valid, acceptable, reliable and effective. The respondents are in agreement that the developed module meets the criteria in designing instructional materials which can be used in enhancing the teaching-learning process. Students score favorably on the items given in the modules and this conveys that the students can do tasks on their own. Based on the results and conclusions of the study, the following recommendations are given: this module created by the researcher can be used as an instructional material for Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao 10 since the present research proved that it is valid, reliable, acceptable and effective, worktext and modules should be considered as an instructional material and be used in the teaching-learning process of the course, teachers/professors should be motivated to make their own worktext/module/ instructional materials and the school administration should provide support in the production of this worktext and other instructional materials produced by faculty members.
