Purpose
This study investigated the effectivity of the
Workshop Module in increasing the preparedness level of
KS-2 pupils in disaster risk reduction and management in
terms of earthquake hazard precautions.Design/ Methodology/ Approach
The study used quasi-experimental method of
research. Purposively selected KS-2 student leaders from
Bula Elementary School. The data was gathered using a
self-made questionnaire. To treat the data, weighted
mean and t-test were used.Findings
The pupils’ mean score was 2.14 (Less Prepared) in
the pre-test and 3.50 (Highly Prepared) in the post test.
The increase of 1.36 on the pupils’ mean score show that
there is a certain improvement on the level of
preparedness. The computed t-value (12.88) was also
compared to the p-value (0.0001), a significant difference
between the pre- and post-tests of the respondents.Research Limitations/Implications
It was limited on the KS-2 pupils with leadership
experiences and their level of preparedness in terms of
earthquake hazard precautions before and after the
exposure to module. It implies that the module was
beneficial in enhancing the preparedness level of the
pupils in terms of earthquake hazard precautions.Originality/ Value
The habit of using the SDRRM workshop module is
beneficial for enhancing students' preparedness for
disaster risk reduction and management through
increasing the pupils’ preparedness in terms of
earthquake hazard precautions.
