Abstract

In order to identify the effectiveness of Needham's Five-Phase Constructivism Model on the learning of Economics, an achievement test instrument was developed to fulfill the objectives of the study. There are 20 objective questions and five structural questions in the economic achievement test. A pilot study was conducted before the actual study to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. After the pilot study, it was found that the validity and reliability were at a good level and accepted for use in the actual study.
