This developmental research study, entitled “Development of a Mobile Application Utilizing Local History in Teaching Araling Panlipunan,” aimed to design and develop a mobile instructional application integrating local history into the teaching of Araling Panlipunan 7. The study employed the ADDIE Model as the development framework. Thirteen (13) experts from public secondary schools in the municipality of Dingle served as validators during the design and development phases. Fifty (50) purposively selected Grade 7 learners participated in the pilot testing conducted during the school year 2022–2023, while forty-five (45) Grade 7 learners during the school year 2025–2026 were administered pretests and posttests to determine the level of significance of the localized mobile application. Findings revealed that the developed localized mobile application received a Very Acceptable (VA) rating for functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, format, language, content, and activities or assessments. Furthermore, statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results, demonstrating that learners achieved higher scores after utilizing the E-localized mobile application. The results imply that the developed mobile application effectively enhanced learners’ engagement and motivation, improved accessibility and flexibility, and contributed to more personalized learning and assessment experiences.
