Abstract
Objectives: This action research aims to determine if the Knowledge-Bridging using Self-Giving Modules (KBSM) helps pregnant students continue schooling. Methods: In evaluating the effectiveness of KBSM, nine individuals participated in the key informant interviews: three parenting high school students, two advisers, two guidance counselors, and two school administrators. Findings: Findings showed that the KBSM was helpful. All ten identified pregnant students finished the school year. Based on the interviews, the participants affirmed the effectiveness of KBSM. First, the modules allowed the pregnant students to continue their education. Second, it increased their determination to succeed in their schooling. As to their insights, the findings revealed two essential points. First, the KBSM was instrumental in protecting pregnant students. Second, there is a need to institutionalize the program because it just started as an initiative of a values subject teacher supported by the administrators, guidance counselors, and concerned teachers. Conclusion: Hence, the KBSM was able to help pregnant students continue their studies while handling pregnancy and taking care of their baby.
