Abstract: This study examines the growing challenge of misinformation on social media and the absence of systematic fact-checking instruction in Senior High School, particularly in informative writing in Filipino. It specifically aims to assess the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of selected Grade 11 Technical Professional students in using fact-checking, and to determine the effectiveness of the F.A.K.T. (Fact-Checking as Academic Tool) Module. The study employed a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design with 73 participants n = 38 (control) and n = 35 (experimental). Two instruments were used: a 15-item, 4-point Likert scale survey measuring knowledge, skills, and disposition (adapted from Mendoza, 2021; Sevilla, 2019; UNESCO Media and Information Literacy Framework; and DigComp 2.1) and a rubric-based assessment of informative writing consisting of five criteria. The F.A.K.T. Module included short video lessons, lateral reading exercises, claim-verification tasks, structured writing guides, and formative feedback. Pretest results indicated low to moderate baseline competencies for both groups. After the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant increase in writing scores (M = 2.23 to M = 10.57, p < .001), while the control group showed a decline (M = 3.71 to M = 2.50, p = .018). These results demonstrate that the F.A.K.T. Module is an effective pedagogical intervention for improving students’ informative writing and their critical evaluation of information.
