The main focus of this study was the construction and validation of self-instructional materials based on selected identified deficiencies in physics of students in the BSIT curriculum of the Samar State Polytechnic College (SSPC) at Catbalogan, Samar,

The general problem of the study was "How can self- instructional materials be developed to meet selected deficiencies in physics of students in the BSIT curriculum of SSPC?"

Specifically, the study sought answers' to the following questions:

1.. What difficulties in physics are encountered by students in the BSI? curriculum of the Samar State Polytechnic College?

2. Is there a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the experimental groups?

3 How are the experimental groups compared in their performance as a consequence of the use of the developed self-instructional materials?

4, Are the developed self-instructional materials appropriate for second year college students in terms of the level of readability?. A diagnostic test, pretested and validated, was Conducted.to the entire population of the second year BSIT class enrolled during the second semester of SY 1983 - 1984 to determine the degree of difficulty of the students on the topics commonly discussed in mechanics, The first and the third, Fluids in Motion and Fluids at Rest, highest ranking deficiencies were considered for modularization,

A tryout of the developed modules was done at SSPC utilizing two experimental groups. The first group consisted of 15 engineering students who had no previous knowledge on fluid mechanics, The second group, in contrast with the first group, comprised 17 BSIT students who finished the two- semester course in physics.

Flesch formula was employed to determine the level of Readability of the developed materials,

Th the Light: of the specific problems posted in this study, the following were the findings of this investigation:
