This study aimed to determine the learning experiences and challenges that Bachelor of Technical Vocational Teacher Education - Beauty Care and Wellness (BTVTED-BCW) students have with the current instructional material used in studying Massage Therapy course. This addresses the challenges faced by students using the current reflexology chart, which lacks practical application and caters to a limited range of learning styles. The objective of this study was to design and develop a Foot Reflexology Model Board as instructional material in Massage Therapy, particularly on studying Foot Reflexology which is one of the topics included in Massage Therapy course. The study utilizes a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach which consists of problem identification, design and development, iterative refinement, and evaluation. The findings revealed a general mean of 4.68 on the general acceptability of the Foot Reflexology Model Board, indicating a “highly agree” when it comes on the Appearance, Durability, Functionality, Perceived Ease of Use, Instructional Applicability of the developed instructional material. And the evaluation on the student’s satisfaction revealed a 4.52 general mean which indicates a “highly agree” rating based on the likert scale rating description. These results demonstrated the potential benefit of the Foot Reflexology Model Board in the educational setting and its potential to refine the learning and practical experience of the students in Massage Therapy.
