Abstract
This research focused on the developing life skills-based modules in Grade 6 Science using the Research and Development approach with three stages: planning, developing, and validating. The Needs Assessment Survey was conducted to understand better the 4As - agtagibalay (doing household chores), agtaraken (raising animals), agmula (planting), and agliwliwa (quality time to relax and unwind), which can be integrated into Grade 6 Science topics from third and fourth quarters. Elementary science teachers were chosen as respondents. The instrument used in determining the validity of the developed life skills-based module consists of three aspects: content validity, design validity, and level of acceptability. Frequency and percentages were used to determine the topics that were integrated into 4As. Furthermore, the study reveals that all the developed life skills-based modules are Very Highly Valid in content, design, and level of acceptability. However, it is recommended that further research be undertaken on the reliability of the modules and other variables influencing the development of life skills-based modules in elementary science.
