Development starts from the problems related to the educational products to
support the instructions.

Research, thee strategy is prepared, tried out, and revised to produce an
effective instructional strategy. In Research & Development, educational media
are prepared, and validated before being tried out.

get more feedbacks for the product revision.
7. The final product is published. The product must. Be a set of educational products
that are ready to support classroom instructions. A Research & Development may
plan to produce a set of English instructional materials for grade VII students
covering (1) Unit Lesson Program, (2) Students Work Sheet, (3) Evaluation Sheet, and
(4) Teachers book
