The Conference on Basic Education Research started in 2014 as an

independent academic organization established by DepEd Region IV-A with the
mission to become a forum where academics and researchers from all over the country
could meet and exchange ideas on their research and consider the future
developments of their fields of study. To serve this purpose, conferences are organized
along the lines of well-established and well-defined research themes and academic
disciplines. In addition, interdisciplinary conferences are also organized because they
serve the mission statement of the Regional Office. Since 2014, CBER has organized
four national conferences and has published over two journals. As the region’s
research culture grows, these conferences are bound to continue, given the evidence
that the number of enthused researchers is growing by the hundreds.

DepEd Region IV-A, a region with outstanding research management practice,

would like to thank the Regional Association of Schools Superintendents, Incorporated
(RASSI), The Policy Planning and Research Division (PPRD), the Regional Research
Committee (RRC), the Regional Pool of Research Reviewers (RPRR), The Regional

CVAD: CARE FOR VICTIMS OF ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION IN PROMOTING CHILD

PROTECTION ADVOCACY AT STO. DOMINGO INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL

Floro Llamas Peria Jr.

ABSTRACT: This study has determined the significance of a proactive intervention in dealing with the victims of
adolescent depression through the establishment of a support group called CVAD: Care for Victims of Adolescent
Depression in Promoting Child Protection Advocacy at Sto. Domingo Integrated High School.” Questions were
raised such as, “why is a support group like CVAD: Care for Victims of Adolescent Depression important,” and
“how is the promotion of child protection advocacy fostered among the students of Sto. Domingo Integrated High
School, Sta. Rosa City” to gather the perceptions and reactions of the grade 11 students, a Guidance
Coordinator, and class advisers, one each from grades 10 and 11. This study has used a Mixed-Research
Method and embedded design consisting of a descriptive quantitative survey method and a phenomenological
qualitative research design that support the findings of the quantitative data. A researcher-made survey
questionnaire was used and recorded interview was conducted to collect the data for the study. After computing
the chi-square values, the following output is revealed: Between frequency of responses for the establishment of
CVAD and the promotion of a child protection advocacy, the chi-square is greater than the critical value. Thus, a
significant relationship between variables was concluded. Based on the personal and recorded interview with the
Guidance Coordinator, a Grade 10 and a Grade 11 advisers, it was found out that a support group like CVAD is
significant in order to guide the students in coping up from depressive mood. In addition, CVAD is found out to
be an ideal way in promoting child protection advocacy among the students of Sto. Domingo Integrated High
School. This study is limited in determining the perceptions and reactions of the respondents from Sto. Domingo
Integrated High School. Due to ethical consideration, consent from the parents was acquired for the minor
students and personal identity of participants for the interview was concealed. The study is originally created by
the researcher as a response of Sto. Domingo Integrated High School to DepEd Order No. 40, series 2012 or
the Deped Child Protection Policy.

PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL

Lina M. Laguras

ABSTRACT: The research study determined the effectiveness of an Aggression Intervention Program (AIP)
among the adolescents in a public secondary school in San Pablo City. Specifically, it dealt with the level of
aggression classified by gender, grade level, parental presence / parental absence, anger hostility, verbal
aggression, and physical aggression. A quasi experimental method was employed in determining the
effectiveness of the AIP; and purposive sampling procedure in the selection of the participants of the study. Out
of 30 adolescents who had undergone the pretest, using the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire, 29 were
diagnosed with mild to moderate and one with extremely high level of aggression. The t-test results showed that
there is a decrease in the level of aggression after AIP and there is significant difference in the level of aggression
among adolescents in terms of gender, grade level, parental presence/parental absence, anger, hostility, verbal
aggression and physical aggression at p<.001 after the pretest and posttest. It is recommended that the proposed
Aggression Intervention Program be utilized in Guidance and Counseling Program and Values Education subject.

EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CHILD PROTECTION POLICY IN SELECTED

SECONDARY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN QUEZON CITY

Meinalyn M. Lopez

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to improve the effectiveness of Child Protection Policy. in particular, it
aimed to answer the following questions: To what extent is the implementation of the existing child protection
policies as assessed by the school head, teachers and parents with respect to objective, criteria, content and
evaluation? Is there a significant difference among the assessment of the respondents on the aforementioned
variables? What are the problems encountered in the implementation of the Child Protection Policy? Based on
the result, what program may be developed to intensify the compliance in the implementation of the Child
Protection Policy? How acceptable is the proposed intervention program as assessed by the respondents? The
study utilized a descriptive/evaluative method in gathering, analyzing, classifying data about prevailing
conditions, practices, process, trends and making adequate and accurate interpretations about such data. The
respondents are composed of Administrators, Guidance Counselors/ Teachers, and Teachers who are members
of the Child Protection Committee. The study found out that the extent of implementation of the existing child
protection policies as perceived by the respondents such as objectives, criteria, content, evaluation, were rated
as fairly implemented. The problem encountered/met by the respondents in the implementation of the child
protection policy has been identified as important information on each student is not carefully recorded for
reference. The proposed intervention is needed to serve as a combination of elements and strategies designed
to produce behavioral change and improvement on the implementation of the policy. The study however does
not include a response from student as the main beneficiary of the study which could have yield a substantial
result. The study has shown as a substantial basis for the development of an intervention program to intensify
the compliance of child protection policy in the Philippines.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID INTEGRATED IN VALUES EDUCATION: A LESSON STUDY

Minariza M. Gillaco & Marisa A. Dedumo

ABSTRACT: This study aims to identify the relevance and worth of the Psychological First Aid (PFA) in schools
by integrating it to the Values Education subject using Lesson Study. This study was thought of when an
unfortunate incident happened at Castor Alviar National High School located in Calamba City. A student was
shot by his alleged guardian inside the classroom during lunch break. This terrible incident created trauma to 168
students who witnessed the incident. 48 learners were identified to be severely affected. When terrible things
happened, it is a humane act to reach out a helping hand to those who are affected. The tendency is to create
an action that would help the affected individuals to recover. Thus, this study described the application of the
PFA and its effect to the different affected school stakeholders. Further, it identified the procedure in the conduct
of PFA and its relevance to be integrated in learning areas such as in values education through the Lesson study
method. The output of this research is the establishment of standards or guidelines on how to cope with a human-
induced disaster.

INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES IN DEALING LEARNERS WITH DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR

Xela Efrena V. Sator

ABSTRACT: Receiving reports of bullying as the school guidance counselor and hearing my colleagues’
sentiments of their learners’ disruptive behavior enabled me to reflect on how to help both the teachers and the
learners survive in their daily learning journey. When learners were severely wasted, unruly, unfocused and
suffered difficult circumstances like losing a parent in the middle of the school year due to marital conflicts and
drug related death and imprisonment, school experiences would be meaningless. The researcher felt the need
to provide the kind of service that will not exacerbate their emotional condition. Therefore, learning activities must
be crafted with a greater sense of reflective thinking and innovation so that they will enjoy and learn amidst their
emotional struggles. There was an experimental analysis through qualitative and quantitative method based from
the observation tool of their observable behavior and their test scores before and after the 8 week intervention
program has been employed. The researcher concluded that using the research- based interventions added with
genuine sense of concern and commitment through one on one approach, massage therapy, merit tree
implementation and good behavior game can help the learners survive in their learning journey despite their
traumatic experiences. It is therefore the desire of the researcher to share this XIN teaching formula in dealing
learners with disruptive behavior; 7P’s added with 3E’s, which means Profile, Plan, Prepare, Practice, Prod, Play
and Pray added with Explore, Engage and Endure to all the teachers in Carcar City Division. Copy of research
recommendations with intervention program, instructional materials sample and teaching demonstration on LAC
sessions will be provided upon request.

OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Janet G. Villaroya

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to determine the effects of bullying on the self-perception and school
performance of the junior high school students. The purpose of the study was to investigate and explore the
impact of bullying to the students’ perception and school performance. This study used the qualitative-
phenomenological approach hence, used qualitative analysis of narrative data. This involved the participation of
ten (10) junior high school students as co-researchers because the essence of the phenomena was derived from
their perceptions and experiences. The researcher had arrived into four significant themes based on the findings
gathered from semi-structured interviews. The study had arrived into four significant themes as follow: (a) bearing
the pain through avoidance and isolation; (b) taking refuge on family and friends; (c) enduring the burdensome
by crying; (d) prevailing over embarrassment. Bullying still happens in schools that sometimes unnoticed. It
affects the self-perception by putting down the victim’s self-esteem and also the school performance since the
students resist to attend classes. This is limited to junior high school students who were willing to share their
experiences on bullying. Findings from this study, therefore, could reflect that bullying phenomenon in junior high
school and the result can be used as a reference for further bullying investigation in other schools in the region.
This phenomenological study which used the co-researchers ‘narratives can encourage stakeholders to extend
assistance to the educators and learners by becoming more vigilant on the bullying incidents and design
mechanisms to strengthen a child-friendly learning environment. Heuristic.

STUDENTS’ BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS ANDTEACHERS’ DISCIPLINE STRATEGIES TOWARDS

AN EDUCATION INFORMATION MATERIAL (EIM) IN PROMOTING POSITIVE DISCIPLINE IN
CLASS
Ricardo O. Oestar & Jennifer M. Oestar, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: The research was concerned in finding students’ most common behavioral problems inside the
classroom, greatest barrier that hinder discipline implementation in class and identifying teachers’ commonly
used classroom discipline strategies with an end of developing a material in addressing behavioral problems
in the classrooms. The study is a descriptive research utilizing quantitative approaches. Survey-
questionnaires were given to 128 randomly selected grade 7 to grade 10 students of Canda National High
School for school year 2019-2020. Weighted mean was used to analyzed and interpret data. The results
revealed that the most common behavioral problems inside the classroom are: verbal bullying (throwing jokes,
giving nicknames, insults, etc.), not paying attention to teachers and being source of distraction (not doing
task, standing, shouting, changing seats); and being late, truancy, cutting classes and absenteeism;
Furthermore, awareness of existing Child Protection Policy, influence of media, technology and networking
sites, and influence of peers and classmates to misbehave in class, ranked as the greatest barriers that hinder
discipline implementation in class. When it comes to teachers’ classroom discipline strategies, all used
discussion, many used involvement, reward and recognition, while few used hinting, aggression and
punishment. The study is limited to Canda NHS students and the findings in this study do not generalize or
reflect the discipline practices and strategies applied in other schools; however, the results may be important
for policy, practice, and subsequent researches related to classroom discipline strategy. The findings seemed
beneficial since it could provide a basis for Canda National High School’s strengthened discipline programs.

SUSTAINING EDUCATION AMONG CHILDREN IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW AND JUVENILES
IN BACOLOD CITY DIVISION THROUGH EARLY VICTIMIZATION - DEVIANT BEHAVIOR
RELATIONSHIP

Phillip Raymund R. De Oca, MATac & Marielle Grace A. De Ocabc

ABSTRACT: Quality education which is inclusive and equitable is vital to the realization of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development. The initiative is committed to reach out to learners and deliver lasting improvements
especially those who are in conflict with the law and juveniles. To understand why they commit crimes, their early
victimization experiences and deviant behavior may be looked into. This is BERF approved descriptive –
correlational research study sought to determine the effects of early victimization experiences of CICL and
juveniles in the Division of Bacolod City and its effect to their likelihood of becoming deviants to rules and norms.
Specifically, significant differences in the level of exposure to early victimization and level of deviant behaviour
were determined as well as their correlation between each other. Using a validated and reliable data gathering
instrument data were gathered and interpreted using mean, t – test, ANOVA and Pearson – r. Results show that
CICL and juveniles, regardless of being grouped to variables all had high level of exposure to victimization and
all responded with high level of deviant behaviour. High results on both variables may imply that early
victimization has significant effect on the tendencies of juveniles and CICL to commit crimes and offenses. Also,
as they get harsh experiences from their environment, they consequently get involved in minor offenses and
even violent crimes. From the results, an intervention and prevention program must be established at school
level to help deter victimization to happen again and intervene on possible issues and conflicts of the learners
with the law.

PROTECTION POLICY: A BASIS FOR CONTINGENCY PLANNING

Maria Teresa T. Abesamis1, Marinesa A. Villamater2 &Ronald P. Reaviles3

ABSTRACT: The situation of child abuse, exploitation, and discrimination in Asia remain severe, and the
extent of the problem in the Philippines is alarming. The study investigated on the preparedness of the LUIS
PALAD INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL (LPIHS) in the City Division Tayabas towards the implementation of
the CHILD PROTECTION POLICY (CPP) as mandated by Department of Education (DepEd) and the society.
The study used the descriptive research design using a researcher-made questionnaire which was used to
gather data concerning the preparedness of the school and the concerned persons in implementing the CPP
mandated by the government and the DepEd. It was revealed that there are still grey areas or points not well
understood by the people concerned which needs to be cleared, explained and discussed. While more than
half of the respondents were aware of the laws, a large proportion of the respondents were unaware of the
laws. Focus is on the preparedness of the persons concerned as well as the administration and other
employees needed in the implementation of the CPP to protect the rights and privileges of the child. The study
will serve as a means to open awareness of making the CPP move towards the realization of the vision given
by DepEd and the LGU in protecting the child.

High School Students and its Implication for Potential Intervention

RIO G. ARBUTANTE, LPT1,2, JASON C. SUAREZ, LPT1,3 AND FARAH Q. TADLIP, LPT1

ABSTRACT: Bullying is a serious problem in most schools. It affects a considerable percentage of the student
population. To study if these problems plague the indigenous people (IP’s) of Bukidnon National High School,
the study sought to find out several underlying factors behind the incidence of bullying among the Senior High
School students of the research locality. Specifically, it aims to find out what percentage of the IP’s are bullied
and in what way, find out the approximate number of times per week they were bullied, where the incidence
mostly took place, find out why they think they were bullied, determine their suggestions of what can the school
do for them in regard the incidents. Quantitative descriptive method was used to generate the responses of one
hundred seven (107) purposively sampled IP enrollees who became the participants of the study. Of them, only
24 claimed that they were not bullied while the remaining 79 responded that they mostly experienced verbal
abuse. Likewise, majority claimed they were bullied at least once a week. They also claimed that they think they
were bullied because they look differently. The classroom became the most usual place where the incidents took
place. Finally, they claimed the school should to strengthen clubs, symposiums and initiate activities that will
boost the IPs confidence and orient the student population of their importance. As educators, we believe that
creating a positive environment for students will go a long way for learning to become more meaningful.

Apolonia F. Fajot & Simonette M. Manalo

ABSTRACT: To be successful, policies and practices for improving pupil’s discipline must attack the problem at
the school, classroom, and individual levels. School goals, missions and normative climates can be focused on
academics and pro-social behavior by redefining common forms of misconduct as unattractive behavior for
pupils. This study was limited only to twenty two (22) pupils in Sta. Maria Magdalena Elementary School during
school year 2018-2019, who need to solve the disruptive behaviors of pupils inside the school and classroom.
Based on the findings of the study, The level of self-concept of the behaved pupils was very high, while their
counterpart had lower level of self-concept. Behaved pupils perceived themselves as intelligent pupils, who can
think well and always have the abilities to do things. This was only seldom possessed by the misbehaved pupils.
Being happy in the family was felt by the behaved pupils. Behave pupils had better outlook in life and they
perceived to be successful someday. Misbehaved pupils had no definite perception for their future: whether they
would be successful or not when they would grow. The study was conducted from School year 2018-2019. The
Participants of this study were 22 pupils of Sta. Maria Magdalena Elementary School. Teachers must assume a
leadership role in the classroom by initiating a code of discipline and establishing classroom routines that would
provide pupils with the points of reference required to adjust their behavior to the social norms of school life. The
school and the classroom must have a cooperatively developed discipline code with outlined procedures and
consequences.

PARENTIFICATION INVENTORY RESULT: BASIS FOR PROPOSED GUIDANCE PROGRAM

Armi Lovelle D. Diaz

ABSTRACT: Parentification is a phenomenon arising in our schools today, where parental roles and
responsibilities are being handed to their children with lack of boundaries. In order for students to perform well in
school, it is necessary to find a balance between the various roles one plays. The purpose of this study is to
examine the experiences of parentified children particularly in Buenaventura E. Fandialan Memorial Integrated
National High School and provide intervention for their condition. A descriptive design was employed to the 12
purposively selected participants from Junior high school to Senior high school. The data gathered in this study
is limited to the students referred by their advisers. Using the parentification inventory by Hooper (2011), a mean
score of 3.42 under the sibling-focused parentification subscale is greater than the parent-focused parentification
subscale which has 3.21 mean. This result implies that adult-like roles and responsibilities performed by these
parentified children were mostly directed towards their siblings. While the third subscale obtained a mean score
of 4.33 which indicates that respondents perceived benefits of parentification positively even at the expense of
their education. In response to this phenomenon, a guidance program tailored for parentified children was made
to meet the needs of these students.

SCHOOL AND HOME ENVIRONMENT AS CORRELATES OF DISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS:

BASIS FOR AN ACTION PLAN TOWARDS POSITIVE DISCIPLINE DEVELOPMENT

Jeanne M. Remojo & Karina R. Reyes

ABSTRACT: The study investigated the school and home environment as correlates of disciplinary problems of
junior high schools in the Division of Lucena City which served as the basis for an action plan towards positive
discipline development. The study used descriptive correlational method of research wherein the questionnaire
is the main guide of the study. The respondents were teachers and parents of the schools. Statistical tools were
used to measure and to analyze the results. The study revealed that primary disciplinary problem is attendance
and that peer group influence ranked first in the factors affecting the disciplinary problems. On the other hand,
the parent respondents disclosed that the physical environment served as the top contributing factor in the
disciplinary problems of the students. The correlation analysis between the school environment and the
disciplinary problem showed that there is a significant relationship between the disciplinary problems and the
school environment as perceived by the teacher respondents and no significant relationship as perceived by the
parents. This study was limited only to the public junior high school teachers in the Division of Lucena City and
their responses were based on their personal experiences in the classroom. Hence, this did not cover up the
problems encountered in the senior high schools and the private institutions of the division. The output of the
study can serve as a guide to JHS teachers in handling different discipline problems in the classroom and the
results will help parents to employ contingency techniques that involve both rewards and sanctions at home.

INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Madeleine C. Ayo & Ruby B. Heramia

ABSTRACT: The primary goals of this research were to identify the different challenges in teenage relationship;
determine its causes and effects to the participants’ development; and, distinguish the different coping skills
employed by the participants in addressing the different challenges that they are experiencing in which the data
will be the basis for psychosocial intervention program. Its potential was to assess the different challenges in
teenage relationship to eight (8) learners of General Flaviano Yengko Senior High School. Descriptive research
was used in the study to describe data and characteristic of a certain population or phenomenon. Erik Erikson’s
psychoanalytic theory of psychosocial development was used to further analyze the study. Thus, the primary
data sources were the participants’ personal data and researchers-made questionnaire results done during
interview and survey. Results revealed that most learners experience crucial stage in the age of 16-17 in which
most of them are curious and willing to experience new things; young ones’ knowledge in a relationship is not
enough which leads to teenage pregnancy and young parents; great number of teen parents agreed that bearing
a child teaches them great responsibilities; and most teenagers listen carefully on what the concern older people
advice about the situation as a coping skill. A psychosocial intervention program was formulated to provide
positive adjustment and healthy transition to learners in facing new responsibilities caused by the different
challenges in teenage relationship. This study contributes to the development of the new K-12 curriculum through
the implementation of the proposed program.

THE EXTENT OF POSITIVE AND NON-VIOLENT DISCIPLINE APPROACH OF TEACHING AND

NON-TEACHING PERSONNEL IN ORIENTAL MINDORO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL:
KEYSTONE FOR POSITIVE DISCIPLINE PROGRAM

Hestia Arellano

ABSTRACT: Violence against children continues to be a tenacious problem in many countries and the
educational arena is of no excuse to it. In the Philippines, around 500 to 800 cases of child abuse are annually
committed by teachers according to Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist of the Philippines Inc. (CAPPI). In 2006,
CAPPI has reported that half of the perpetrators in the schools were teachers. A small percentage also included
janitors, bus drivers and other school personnel. This was validated when DepEd has reported a total of 2,706
incidence of child abuse in schools for the school year 2014-2015. To address this, the Department of Education
(DepEd) has released a comprehensive policy, the DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2012, also known as the Child
Protection Policy to ensure the protection of students against different kinds of abuses in schools. Unfortunately,
the passive involvement of teaching and non-teaching personnel in the program makes bridging the gap
unsuccessful. This situation lead us to conduct a research to determine the extent of positive and non-violent
discipline approach of teaching and non-teaching personnel in Oriental Mindoro National High School to serve
as bedrock for positive discipline program. This is a quantitative study employing descriptive correlational design
to determine the significant relationship between the demographic profile, extent of involvement in child protection
policy programs and the level of practice of positive and non-violent discipline approach of teaching and non-
teaching personnel of Oriental Mindoro National High School. Random Sampling and Purposive Sampling were
employed to select the respondents. Descriptive statistics such as mean, frequency and percentage were used.
Chi square and Pearson’s R were used to test the significance of relationship between the variables. The study
revealed that the demographic profile of teaching and non-teaching personnel is greatly affected by sociological
perspective and economic preferences. Advocacy campaigns for child protection policy is rarely participated by
the teaching and non-teaching personnel because of the meagreness of time and the insufficiency of structured
programs relevant to child protection policy.

TRANSFORMING BULLIES:
BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION THROUGH PROGRAM R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Evelyn S. Sanchez

ABSTACT: It has been the objective of Lecheria National High School to protect the students from all forms of
bullying and to make the school Bully-Free. Activities have been conducted such as symposium and lectures in
order to meet the said objective. Despite all the efforts conducted, bullying cases that were filed have gone up
from 20 to 36 cases from School Year 2017 – 2018 to 2018 – 2019 respectively. Pursuant to the Implementing
Rules and Regulations of the Ant-Bullying Act of 2013, it is the role of the school to create an intervention program
that would address the issue. Using a Quantitative Research Method that utilized Causal Design, this paper aims
to craft an intervention program for the bullies after it has been determined whether the bullies’ profile which
includes reasons of bullying, types of bullying behavior and object of bullying and that of the school climate affects
the bullies’ physical, emotional, social and cognitive behavior of the randomly selected 60 students of Lecheria
National High School. Results revealed that bullying impacts the bullies’ behavior which resulted in the crafting
of the intervention program R.E.S.P.E.C.T. (Reflective and Empathetic Series of Program to Elevate Character
Transformation). Furthermore, the school needs to take necessary actions to implement prevention and
intervention programs that would lessen, if not eradicate the occurrence of bullying in school.

Wichelle Pearl C. Destura & Molina G. Rizo

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to assess the impact of the implementation of Child and Youth Welfare Code to the
students of Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School along the children’s rights and responsibilities. It determined whether
there exist a significant difference on the assessments of the respondents when grouped according to their profile such
as sex, number of siblings, parents’ educational attainment, parents’ occupation, monthly family income, and scholastic
status. This has an end view of stipulating the implication of the findings of the study to the teachers, students, and
management of CVLIS. The researchers utilized a total of 100 students - respondents from the senior high school
department. The descriptive-comparative method of research was employed so as to fulfill the objective of the study.
A self-constructed questionnaire which gone through validation served as the main tool in data gathering. Statistical
treatments applied the gathered data include frequency and percentage, weighted mean, and T-test and ANOVA.
Findings indicated that majority of the respondents were male, with one to three siblings, whose parents graduated in
high school level and employed in blue-collared jobs, with a monthly family income of P10,100 to P15,000. In addition,
the implementation of PD 603 has a high impact on both children’s’ rights and responsibilities. As to difference analysis,
there was a significant difference in the assessments of the respondents in terms of children’s rights when grouped
according to their profile variables. In terms of children’s responsibilities, there was also a significant difference in the
assessments when grouped according to profile except for the sex and mothers’ educational attainment. From the
findings and conclusions of the study, the researchers humbly offered the following recommendations: The government
shall maintain its performance in overseeing the execution of the law through the different mechanisms which include
the local government units that have direct concerns to their people. They shall see to it that the welfare of children
and youth is being prioritized since they were less capable and were more vulnerable; the parents of these children
may continue to do their roles in nurturing these children for them to become productive citizens of the country. It is
their duty to remind the children that the rights bestowed upon them are coupled with responsibilities as they grow as
individuals; the children may enjoy the rights and privileges however, they should also protect these rights by adhering
to responsibilities set forth by the law; the school should continuously educate parents and children about youth and
child welfare code so they may be aware of their rights and responsibilities; the future researchers are encouraged to
conduct studies similar to this undertaking exploring other variables which are not considered in this research.

THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS OF TCES STUDENTS ON BULLYING INCIDENCE:

BASIS FOR A PROPOSED INTERVENTION PROGRAM ON MANAGING THE PUPILS BULLYING
BEHAVIOR FOR THE SY 2019-2020

Jiella G. Rodejo

ABSTRACT: The researcher aimed to find out the level of awareness of the students of Tagkawayan Central
Elementary School on bullying incidence. She believes that promoting the mental health and well-being of all young
people is a vital part of the core business of teachers by creating a supportive school environment that is conducive to
learning. Teachers need to be comfortable and confident in promoting and teaching for mental health. A descriptive-
evaluative method of research was used to evaluate the level of awareness of TCES students on bullying incidence.
Tagkawayan Central Elementary School served as the locale of the study where the respondents of the study were
selected grade five pupils with a sample size of 297, following a random sampling procedure. The researcher also
utilized a self-devised questionnaire to evaluate the level of awareness of TCES students on bullying incidence. The
results revealed that bullying happens when you were pinched and bruised on his/ her arm with highest WAM value of
2.39, equivalent to less aware. Likewise, bullying happens when you were addressed with foul language when a verbal
fight between his/ her classmate ensued with highest WAM value of 2.26, equivalent to less aware. And finally, bullying
happens when you received rude messages through messenger and text messaging with the highest WAM value of
2.21, equivalent to less aware. It was recommended that, at most, teachers should teach the value of positive
communication, friendship and healthy ways to control anger; as well as, Conduct bullying orientations and conferences
in all levels to make all teachers and school officials aware of the Anti-Bullying Law (R.A 10627).

THE IMPACT OF SANCTIONS TO THE BEHAVIOR OF THE ERRING STUDENTS OF LOOC

INTEGRATED SCHOOL

Alejandro D. Tatlonghari & Dionisio P. Andayon

ABSTRACT: This research undertaking aimed to establish the impact of Sanctions as implemented by LIS
Personnel to the behavior of the erring students. Mixed method of qualitative and quantitative process was used
in this study. All questionnaires were validated by the guidance counselors of the school. The study was anchored
on the Deviance and Control theory of sociologist William Graham Sumner (1906). Deviance or nonconformity
or violation to social norms and standards, according to the theory, has a positive contribution for it fosters social
change. This study will only focus on the minor violations that can be solved in the level of the guidance
counselors. The findings of this study were analyzed through mean, t-Test, and thematic analysis. As to the
implementation of sanctions, both group of respondents agree that the school did not violate the right of the
students relative to the child protection policy as well as the right of the parents to be informed. As to the
conformity of the process of implementation of sanctions, both respondents agree that the extent of
implementation of Disciplinary Measures based on Child Protection Policy was observed. As to the impact of
sanctions to the behavior of the erring students, all student-participants agree that their behaviors have changed
gradually. This theme ranked first in the students’ response. Having been given a leadership task as sanction
made them realized their worth in their classroom. As to the parent-respondents’ response, all of them agreed
that their children’s have become more responsible in doing household chores. This theme ranked first among
the responses. There were cases related to illegal drugs where the school applies the referral system for
professional help. The school only monitors the development of the consultation. These cases delimit the study.
This research may be a benchmark on the different career-related issues surrounding the growth and
development of the students especially that they are into the period of puberty. This study may open an avenue
for career advocates to look into the discipline aspect in the wider perspective of sanctions. As Husserl said,
intersubjectivity is the source of objectivity and not always or necessarily something to be achieved or negotiated
through verbal communication or other means like sanctions.

ADRESS MISBEHAVIORS OF LEARNERS

Louiegrace G. Margallo, Jezreel M. Margallo, & Gene Claire V. Lacerna

ABSTRACT: Positive discipline is a more effective way to manage misbehaving students in the classroom, rather
than using punishment or rewards. If a student misbehaves in the classroom, a teacher must have a few
techniques that they can use to reduce or eliminate the unwanted behavior. From misbehaving in the classroom
to not doing the assigned work, there are many ways to deal with unwanted behavior including punishment,
discipline, or even using rewards. However, the most effective method for dealing with students that are
misbehaving in the classroom is using positive discipline. In this sense, the researchers being classroom teachers
in their respective discipline with the richest opportunities meeting learners with misbehaviors dealt into this study.
The participants of the study are the select Grade 7 learners who were purposively selected. The researchers
utilized survey as research method. The questionnaire used in this research is a two-part survey questionnaire,
the first part includes the students assess their behavior inside the classroom which is with predetermined
criterion and the second part includes discipline practices preferred by the learners is open ended. Unstructured
interviews were also conducted to gather additional data. Unstructured interviews were also conducted to gather
additional data. The researchers identified that the learners are misbehaving inside the classroom. Learners are
not performing well in school in terms of their behaviors, reasons such as self-awareness and interest in schooling
are some of the challenges encountered. The study is limited to the development of positive discipline worksheets
and strategy list. The study is an overture in developing materials for making learners’ behave properly as
supported by positive life journals.

and learning, there are classroom management strategies that can be employed to decrease disruption and
increase compliance. There has to be classroom management strategies and verbal intervention strategies that
may allow teachers to handle disruptive student behavior (Guido, 2018). As a master teacher of Balaytigue
Elementary School, the researcher believes that classroom management strategies are always effective to
contain misbehavior most especially disruptive ones. In this connection, she decided to undertake this action in
order to come up with a better way to manage the class. This study aimed to determine the positive discipline
used by teachers at Balaytigue Elementary School to serve as input to a Class Management Program. The
researcher used the descriptive research design with the questionnaire as tool. Results revealed that with
regards to the components of an effective teacher the respondents perceived that teachers constantly deal with
disruptive behavior in a classroom. Moreover, the respondents also perceived that classroom discipline is the
most critical component of being an outstanding teacher, knowing that expectations and procedures should be
practiced as often as possible. Furthermore, the respondents were also aware that it is necessary to establish
expectations, procedures, and consequences for dealing with any violation immediately. However, they
disagreed that discipline starts during the first minute if the first day in school. Among the classroom management
and discipline strategies, behavior reinforcers and use of positive strategies were perceived as positive discipline.

BATANG INA: THE JOURNEY OF BALIK – ARAL STUDENT – PARENT

Molina G. Rizo

ABSTRACT: This study deeply examined the Journey of Balik-Aral Student- Parent. The goal was to determine
the challenges and coping strategies made by the student-parents towards studying again. This has been done
by the use of qualitative research design, specifically a phenomenological approach. The researcher used one
student-parent in Calamba City from a private institution but once studied at Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School
during junior high school as the participant of this research. Upon taking the interview and analysis of data, there
were five (5) major themes arose from the challenges of student-parents and three (3) major themes on the
coping strategies they made. Five (5) major themes on challenges are, (1) Financial dilemma, (2) Difficulty in
stress management, (3) Physique problems, (4) Social disapproval and (5) School Conflicts and three (3) major
themes on the coping strategies they made namely, (1) Self Aid, (2) Familial Support and (3) Social Assistance.
Given that teenage parents have such frustrations and challenges as a parent and as a student, the moment that
they went back to school is a great indication of their coping capabilities and the support that they have from their
parents and partner. Upon the completion of the study, the researcher was able to suggest programs that will
possibly help teenage parents/ student-parents in coping with their challenges.

ABSTRACT. The study primarily focused on the Disaster Risk Reduction Preparedness of Secondary Schools
in the Division of Rizal during the school year 2017 – 2018. Meanwhile, the study used the descriptive-evaluative
method of research utilizing the questionnaire checklist in gathering information. The respondents of the study
were the thirteen (13) selected secondary schools in the Division of Rizal. Each school comprises of twenty (20)
teachers, twenty (20) students and ten (10) SDRRM Committee. A total of six hundred fifty (650) respondents.
The researcher used the purposive sampling in determining the respondents. The paper revealed that in general,
the three groups of respondents are ‘Very Much Oriented’ on disaster risk reduction preparedness of secondary
schools in Division of Rizal. More so, per assessments of the four groups of expert-respondents on the extent of
disaster risk reduction preparedness practices of secondary schools are Always Practiced. Finally, there is a
significant relationship between the extent of orientation of disaster risk reduction preparedness among
secondary schools and on the extent of disaster risk reduction preparedness practices. The study implies that
if the school communities are prepared before and after the presence of hazard and/or a disaster it minimizes
loss of lives and reduce damages of properties. The Primer on DRRP will be great of help to the school as well
as to the community and local officials since the outputs were intended for everyone. This will serve as their basis
on how to be prepared on a disaster such as on what to do before, during, and after a disaster. Finally, the study
is holistic it seems that it concerned with development of every person’s intellectual, emotional, social, physical
and spiritual potentials in overcoming the possible problems in times of disaster.

risk reduction measures to ensure safety and security of all teaching, non-teaching and schoolchildren. This
study used descriptive method of research. An instrument in a form of questionnaire was employed to gather
data. Purposive sampling technique was utilized in choosing the respondents. Interview and focus group
discussion was also used and artifacts or documents were requested from the school DRRM coordinator and
school head to verify the authenticity of the answer. Percentage, weighted mean and ANOVA were the statistical
treatment employed to interpret the data. The study revealed that there is a high evidence of compliance and
implementation of disaster risk reduction management of public schools in the Division of Lucena in terms of risk
reduction and resilience education while there is partial evidence in terms of school disaster management and
safe learning facilities. However, problems are encountered in the implementation of the program such as
insufficient fund, lack of DRRM equipment and materials, limited stakeholders and partners, and lack of support
from barangay officials, people in the community and other employees in the school. This research study was
conducted in 57 public schools in the Division of Lucena, both in the elementary and secondary levels. It focused
on the level of compliance and implementation of disaster risk reduction and management programs of the
schools in terms of safe learning facilities, school disaster management, and risk reduction and resilience
education. Results of this research study will serve as basis for the enhancement of disaster risk reduction and
management program of each school in the Division of Lucena City. Findings will also be used as guide by the
division in creating a more responsive and effective DRRM implementation.

DISASTER REPAREDNESS: DIFFICULTIES OF FRAIL ELDERS IN PREPARING FOR THE BIG

ONE

Gladys P. Bustos & Molina G. Rizo

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to deeply analyze the preparation of the frail elders in Canlubang for the
Occurrence of “The Big One.” The study made use of qualitative approach specifically a phenomenological
research. The participants of this study were three elderly individuals that came from the Barangay Canlubang.
The data analysis employed IPA in analyzing the data that the researchers were able to gather. The results
disclosed that as to the state of being elderly, the participants suffered illnesses such as the diminish of their
sensory awareness and their mobility. As to the participants’ preparation to disaster, they divulged that they are
unaware of the catastrophic event called “The Big One” hence they are unprepared when this happens. Lastly,
the most frightening part was that they did not practice earthquake drills which will somehow prepare them when
this event happens. More so, it was found the elders were very vulnerable to the said event because of their
physical condition as aged individuals. Based on the results, the researchers recommend that the government
should establish disaster preparedness program and livelihood projects together with the Non-Government
Organization (NGO) for the elderly individuals of Barangay Canlubang. They also recommended that the elders
should fully participate in governments disaster programs and make themselves ready for the upcoming the big
one.

ABSTRACT. The study was conducted to assess the implementation of Ecological Solid Waste Management in Brgy.
Looc. Specifically, the study aims to find the answers to the following questions: (1) how is the ecological solid waste
management program at Brgy is. Looc Calamba City, Laguna as assessed by the City Environment and Natural
Resources officers and the Barangay Looc residence implemented in terms of objectives, policies and waste
management system; (2) how do the assessments of the two groups of respondents on the status of solid waste
management compare? (3) what are the problems encountered in terms of Solid Waste Management? And (4) based
on the findings of the study, what action plan can be proposed to further improve the status of ecological waste
management at Brgy. Looc, Calamba City, Laguna? The researcher used random sampling. The seventy respondents
were the residents of Barangay Banay-Banay who can represent the whole community who were affected by the
implementation of ESWM program. The other thirty respondents were from the officials and staffs of Ecological Solid
Waste Management Department of CENRO who implemented ESWM program in every barangay in the City of
Calamba. Statistical treatments applied to the study included the frequency and percent distributions in presenting the
profile of the two groups of respondents. Concerning the implementation of ecological solid waste management
program and occurrence of related problems, the five-point Likert Scale, the simple mean and to establish the
difference between the assessment of City Environment Natural Resources Office and residents of Brgy. Looc
Calamba City, the t test for independent samples were used. The result showed that the two groups of respondents
were really aware of the objectives of ESWM. The result reveals that in practice, the respondents participate in the
operation of such management system. And it is also concluded in the finding of the study that the ESWM implementers
are ready to improve their management systems and on the residents’ side, they were ready to help the government
to achieve the goals and objectives of ESWM program in their barangay. Both of the respondent groups are conscious
and alert of the problems existing when it comes to the Ecological Solid Waste Management operation. Based on the
findings of the study, the researcher formulates an action plan to further improve the ecological solid waste
management in Brgy Looc. A new flow of managing solid waste is recommended. The involvement of ever unit in the
society is very needed to promulgate and to improve the status of ESWM in Brgy. Looc and to become the basis of
every barangay here in the City of Calamba. This Study was conducted at Barangay Looc, Calamba City and at the
City Environment and Natural Resources Office of Calamba which were fit in assessing the implementation of
Ecological Solid waste management and to find out the related problems regarding ESWM. This heuristic research is
useful to resolved the problems about solid waste and they will adopt by the school based on the proposed action plan .

DISTRICTS

Marife B. Brequillo

ABSTRACT. This study determined the disaster preparedness among public elementary schools in San Andres
Districts. A total of 182 respondents composed of 22 school heads and 160 elementary school teachers in San
Andres, Catanduanes were covered by this study. Descriptive survey method was utilized using a questionnaire
as the main tool in data gathering. Simple frequency count, percentage, weighted mean and t-test were the
statistical tools used. The study revealed that there is no significant difference on the perceived extent of
compliance of school heads and teachers. However, there is a significant difference on the perceived extent of
compliance to school’s disaster preparedness policies between San Andres East and West Districts. The study
further revealed that San Andres Districts are relatively prepared to handle disasters in terms of extent of
compliance to DepEd disaster preparedness policies, problems they have encountered in complying with this
disaster preparedness, and the policies and the measures they have undertaken to enhance disaster
preparedness of the schools. Although disasters are not new to us but disaster preparedness plays a significant
role in saving life of an individual and on preventing unwanted instances to happen. That is why safety in school
where children and youths spend most of their time should be maintained.

ABSTRACT. The Ecological Waste Management Program of San Isidro National High School set a good
example to the other schools in Antipolo City. The purpose of this case study was to come up a framework from
the practices and management of this school, that was recognized and awarded by the city government and to
have deeply understanding of how this school sustained waste management. The study found out that
recognition and awards motivated the school performs better and must maintain in order for the program work
better and rich the zero waste management. As a result these components (or qualities) were extensively
described (using findings of semi-structured interviews) to elicit pragmatic guidance for teachers, and other
stakeholders in designing structured communication or information strategies that may simplify and subsequently
increase waste recycling practices. The policy implications of holistic information in enhancing recycling were
further discussed.

Marvin A. Moraleja

ABSTRACT. School-based disaster preparedness not only focusing on mere preparedness, but also seek to
develop knowledge to institutionalize the culture of safety and resilience to all students. This study was conducted
to assess the disaster-related knowledge, preparedness and readiness, awareness, and risk perception of senior
high students. Descriptive research design and researcher-made questionnaire was utilized to gather the
necessary data. Responses of senior high students were assessed using the four-point Likert scale. There is a
low percentage of students who understood disaster-related concepts and ideas. Senior high students are not
ready, not prepared, and not aware on risks inflicted by disasters. Students were found to have low-disaster risk
perception. A total of 120 senior high student-respondents in NAVERA Memorial Integrated School answered
the survey questionnaire about DRRM. The researcher developed an IEC material that can be a great step
forward in disseminating information to all students and other school personnel about the disaster-related
knowledge, preparedness and readiness, awareness, and risk perception.

DISASTER-PREPAREDNESS OF PUBLIC ELEMENTARY AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN

AREA III OF THE DIVISION OF BATANGAS PROVINCE: BASIS FOR A LOCALIZED ACTION
PLAN

Donnalyn M. Javier-Remo

ABSTRACT. Government agencies exhausted all efforts to manage risks of disasters, but still, damages
persisted. Numerous improvement and repairs on structures are yet to be attended highlighting those buildings
which are always occupied by a massive population such as schools. Having so, a study that assessed disaster-
preparedness of public elementary and junior high schools was conducted. This study used descriptive-
quantitative design. This covered schools from Area III of the Division of Batangas Province. It gathered
responses from coordinators of each school on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Organization.
Interviews were conducted among officials of LDRRMC to support the quantitative data collected. This revealed
that the schools’ disaster-preparedness ranges from great extent to very great extent when assessed based on
the conduct of the activities done before, during, and after a disaster. However, the study found out that there is
a low percentage on the availability of materials, equipment, and facilities in schools intended for
emergency/disaster occurrences. Although cannot assure disaster-preparedness, the results also demonstrate
the need for schools to provide a complete set of emergency-response tools, materials, and equipment since
these could still be a great factor on disaster-mitigation. Coordination with external stakeholders re disaster-
preparedness, needs to be intensified. Materials needed for disaster-response shall be provided utmost.
Disaster-preparedness of respondents in terms of community services and support, and financial resources are
recommended for focus on further researches.

research was used with the questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument. The subject of the study were
composed of sixty ( 60) Grade-11 senior high school students from HUMSS, ABM and TVL strands of San
Nicolas National High School. Simple random sampling was used to identify the respondents. Mean, weighted
mean and composite mean were the statistical tools applied to treat the gathered data. The results of the study
reveal that the level of awareness of Grade 11 students with the disaster and risk reduction practices were
achieved as moderately extent. The students agreed with the implications of disaster and risk reduction practices.
The students agreed that they encountered difficulties in the implementation of DRRM practices. The findings of
this action research revealed that the level of awareness of Grade 11 students with the disaster and risk reduction
practices were achieved as moderately extent. Disaster Risk Reduction Management ( DRRM) organization
should continue their disaster activities to enhance the level of awareness and preparedness of the students and
teachers. The research serves as a reflective reference among SHS teachers that if the students have no enough
knowledge in preparing and preventing the risks, many lives will be in danger. School with proper disaster
awareness manages the disaster risk very well.

HOUSEHOLD DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT PREPAREDNESS OF STUDENTS AND

TEACHERS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF CALAMBA EAST DISTRICT 2

Florissa C. De Jesus & Bobby C. De Jesus

ABSTRACT. In the Philippines, the strengthened DRRM is strictly implemented in schools, as mandated by RA
10121, with which students, teachers, and other school personnel strongly adhere to. However, the level of
preparedness of students and teachers on disaster risk management procedures at household level is not clearly
identified nor practiced. This research focused on determining students’ and teachers’ preparedness in disaster
risk management at household level. The research was carried out quantitatively and utilized survey
questionnaire as instrument. Randomly selected 125 teachers and 367 students participated in this study from
secondary schools in Calamba East II. It was found out that family plan for emergencies was available but not
everyone is aware where this is located. Safe location in and outside the house were clearly identified but the
route was not tested and although a meeting point was identified, household members lack awareness on where
this area is located. Fire extinguishers and smoke detectors were also unavailable for household use. This study
reveals that despite the awareness and preparedness of students and teachers in disaster management
procedures and practices in schools, their readiness and preparedness at household levels is limited and proper
coordination among household members is strongly advised.

evaluation; rewards and incentives system; and external stakeholders participation and problems encountered
in the Division of Lucena City with an end view of enhancing this program to be adopted in the district/school for
school year 2017-2018. The descriptive-evaluative method of research was utilized to the selected 300 public
school Science teachers, principals/school heads and external stakeholders in the Division of Lucena City. A
survey questionnaire-checklist adopted and modified from Sena (2013) and DepEd Order No. 93, s. 2011 was
used in data gathering. The data gathered were statistically analyzed using weighted mean and chi-square. It
was revealed that the level of implementation and complementation of YES-O program in terms of programs and
projects objectives was rated with 2.35 AWM for school heads and science teachers while 1.75 for external
stakeholders. The level of awareness in terms of YES-O membership/affiliation, the school heads/ science
teachers with 2.27 while external stakeholders with 1.69; rewards and incentives with 1.83 or slightly
implemented and 1.48 or not complemented, and stakeholders’ participation with 2.11 and 2.06. Moreover,
problems encountered in the implementation and complementation of YES-O was perceived by the school
heads/science teachers as seldom occurring with 2.42 while frequently for external stakeholders with 3.07. This
study would only cover the complementation and implementation of YES-O program in the Division of Lucena
City as basis for program enhancement wherein the construct being assessed will be limited to the objectives,
activities and participation, commitment and complementation of external stakeholders to YES-O program, and
gaps, concerns and issues encountered in implementation of the program. This research adheres to strengthen
partnerships with stakeholders to heighten awareness on the mitigation of climate change and global warming

KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES OF GRADE 11 STUDENTS IN DISASTER READINESS AND

RISK REDUCTION

Erwin R. Abrencillo, PhD

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
(DRRR) subject to the knowledge and practices of Grade 11 students on disaster preparation and mitigation
since most students in this school live in a coastal Barangays which are visited frequently by typhoons. This
research utilized a quantitative descriptive research design in identifying the knowledge and practices of Grade
11 students in disaster readiness and risk reduction. Quasi-experimental design is used in determining the effects
of the DRRR subjects in the knowledge and practices of the Grade 11 students. Their knowledge and practices
on disaster preparation and mitigation were assessed before and after the implementation of the DRRR subject
in the second semester of SY 2018-2019. It was found out that respondents showed least mastery in disaster
preparation and mitigation before the implementation of the DRRR subject. It also showed that they are not
prepared whenever there are typhoons but are somehow prepared for earthquake. However, the data revealed
an increase in the knowledge and practices upon the implementation of the DRRR subject. This study was limited
only to the SHS sections who have taken the DRRR subject. This only measure the knowledge on disaster
preparation and mitigation based on the diagnostic and quarterly test while practices are measured through
survey questionnaire. This research proved that DRRR subject is an effective tool in disaster preparation. This
research study focused in the effects of the implementation of the DRRR subjects in knowledge and practices
Grade 11 students which are beneficial not only among them but to their community as well.

TOWARDS AN ECO-FRIENDLY SCHOOL: EXPLORATION OF GO GREEN PRACTICES

OF SCHOOLS IN DEPED QUEZON

JENNIFER M. OESTAR, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT. The research was concerned in exploring the go green practices and the barriers that hinder
its full implementation in the Division of Quezon with an end of developing a sustainable green school
development program. Mixed methods specifically the sequential explanatory design was used. This is
a descriptive-comparative research in nature wherein secondary schools, teacher-coordinators and
school head participants accomplished survey-questionnaires, in-depth interviews and photo
documentation projects. Weighted mean and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for quantitative
data while process coding was used for qualitative data. The results revealed that the most common
green school practice is Green Healthy Space while the least is Resources Sustainability. Further, the
most common barriers that hinder its implementation are Order Implementation and Students and
Teachers’ Knowledge and Attitude. There is a significant difference in the green school practices in terms
Green Healthy Space and Preparedness, Safety and Security while there is no significant difference in
barriers that hinder the implementation of such practices in DepEd Quezon. Thus, a Sustainable Green
School Development Program was developed. Secondary schools have been the focus of this research
since previous studies revealed that elementary schools are more active when it comes to green school
initiatives. It seemed beneficial to school heads, teachers, students, DepEd Quezon officials, community
stakeholders and researchers in providing ground for assessing school status, strengths, weaknesses
and suited interventions for achieving school sustainability.

ABSTRACT. This study determined the school-based disaster risk reduction management practices and their
impact to teachers’ and pupils’ awareness and response to safety. This study utilized descriptive and correlational
design to find out the relationship between the school-based disaster risk reduction management practices and
teachers and pupils’ awareness and response to safety among the selected schools in Cluster 3 Tiaong I District.
School policies on students’ safety were found not significantly related to trainings and seminars. In terms of
response to safety same results were revealed between attitudes and early warning system, trainings and
seminars and between psychomotor skills, early warning system, trainings and seminars, and monitoring and
evaluation. On the other hand, subject integration was found not significantly related to school policies on
students’ safety. In terms of response to safety as to attitudes and psychomotor skills was found significantly
related to curriculum integration. The total population of teachers in Tiaong I Cluster 3 are 65 and the grade 6
pupils are 228 with a total number of 293 respondents who have been part of this study. The safety of schools is
important and disaster risk reduction management aims at reducing the vulnerability to and impact of disasters
on schools.

relationship between the respondents’ perception to climate change in the community and their views about
environmental concerns. The information was limited to the indicators utilized in the tool. A similar investigation
should test the proposition in this study. The study suggests that educational leaders may integrate approaches
for adapting to climate change effects into its policy planning and development. This paper has an idiosyncratic
personality of its own and represents a significant leap in the understanding of climate change. The academic
value of this study stands to support and strengthen future studies and practical value for educators’ planning.

TRAILS, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF MANGROVE REFORESTATION IN

RANSOHAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL

EnP Jose Virgel L. Adriano

ABSTRACT. This study aims to determine the current status of Ransohan MangroveReforestation Program, its
problems and the opportunities it might bring in the school and in the community. The researcher adapted
descriptive research design that includes qualitative and quantitative approaches. It utilized questionnaire-
opinionated survey to determine the extent of implementation of Ransohan Mangrove Reforestation Program.
Further, a focus group discussion was facilitated to extract the beneficial effects and problems encountered in
the implementation of RMRP. The results from the survey were subjected to statistical analysis while the recorded
FGD was transcribed, coded and analyzed. The results revealed that the objectives, policies and participation of
Ransohan Mangrove Reforestation Program were implemented to a moderate extent, activities or practices done
by the participants before and during the planting activities were in line with the policies of DENR. The
respondents are also aware of the socio economic and environmental benefits of RMRP and its community
centered education impact; however, they still need to be given technical assistance, training, education and
diverse livelihood programs to enhance their capability to sustain the program. Moreover, it is recommended that
stakeholders should be involved in the holistic approach toward management, conservation and protection of
RMRP. It is also observed that Ransohan Integrated School is continuously encouraging students, teachers,
residents and stakeholders to support RMRP and it heightens community centered education wherein there is
an increased level of students’ attendance. Further, the findings of this study may invite researchers to investigate
and observe whether the plan that was develop is effective and efficient in implementing RMRP.

BASIS FOR SCHOOL SAFETY PLAN

Guianne Lei A. Lejano

ABSTRACT. The purpose of the study was to determine the status and significant differences of the selected
senior high school safety in terms of structural safety, non- structural safety, local infrastructure, water in schools,
food and sanitation, school security, and school ground. By gathering the perceived status of school safety, gaps
was seen and enabled school heads to rectify between past and present school safety plans. The study was
descriptive in nature, under the realm of non-experimental quantitative research. Data were collected through a
Likert type survey questionnaire. Kruskal- Wallis One Way ANOVA by ranks was used to gather the significant
difference between the three schools. The status of school safety regarding structural safety, non- structural
safety, local infrastructure, water in schools, food and sanitation, school security and school ground is
“Satisfactorily Safe” ( Mean = 2.72, SD= 0.47). The school needs further inspection and risk and hazard
assessment regarding school safety. Through observations, conduct of inspections the feedbacks lead in
improving the implementation of the policies, protocols and plans regarding school safety and security. It will help
in controling risks and hazards to establish workplace safety culture in school settings. The study focused on
determining status of school safety of the three selected stand alone schools in Bacoor City. The study did not
cover workplace safety’s implication on employees’ motivation and performance.

CLASSROOM-BASED DRR INTERVENTION TO ENHANCE DISASTER AWARENESS AND

PREPAREDNESS KNOWLEDGE AMONG GRADE FOUR PUPILS OF ITAAS ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL MUNTINLUPA CITY

Mervin F. Goña, MAEd, SMRIRes, SMRIEdr

ABSTRACT. Schools are critical infrastructure entrusted with the responsibility of creating citizens of tomorrow.
A safe and secure environment is a prerequisite for effective teaching and learning. Hence, Itaas Elementary
school has intensified its preparedness efforts and prioritizes promoting disaster awareness and preparedness
knowledge among learners. This study sought to determine whether a classroom-based Disaster Risk Reduction
Intervention would be effective in improving disaster awareness and preparedness knowledge among grade four
section Mars pupils of IES. The said intervention involved the holding of classroom-based awareness raising
activities over a period of four (4) months and conduct of class discussion after each activity that allowed learners
to reflect on the quality of their performance and identify how they could improve as a group in succeeding drills/
activities. Observation feedback provided by three (3) members of the school disaster risk reduction and
management council (SDRRMC) showed the learners’ awareness and preparedness knowledge continuously
improved through the treatment period. Moreover, their perception of the importance of the awareness raising
activities was also enhanced based on the responses of the learners who took part in the focused group
discussion (FGD) subsequently held. In view of the findings, the researcher recommends the integration of the
classroom-based DRR intervention in the school’s disaster education program. An action plan was developed
for this purpose.

ABSTRACT. This study intended to determine the level of disaster management preparedness of Camp Vicente
Lim Integrated School. The disaster management indicators include prevention and mitigation, preparedness,
response, and rehabilitation and recovery. This also investigated the difference of responses between the two
groups of respondents: the teaching and non – teaching personnel and the students. The study has an end view
of presenting the implication of its findings to the students, teachers and management of Camp Vicente Lim
Integrated School. This research used 150 student respondents and 100 teaching and non – teaching personnel.
Descriptive quantitative method of research with the use self – constructed questionnaire was used in the study.
Weighted Mean, t- test, and ANOVA were used as statistical tools. The results divulged that both the teaching
and non – teaching personnel and the students assessed prevention and mitigation and preparedness as highly
implemented in CVLIS by the DRRM office. On the other hand, response, and rehabilitation and recovery were
assessed as implemented only. As to test for significant difference, there were no differences on the responses
of the two groups of respondents. Based on the results, it is recommended that the school may sustain the
activities and programs of the DRRM office to ensure the safety of the students, teaching and non – teaching
personnel. Furthermore, response, and rehabilitation and recovery must be given attention as these was found
to have low level of implementation as to school DRRM implementation. Rigid trainings of such as well as
seminars on awareness may be done.

Michael Leonard D. Lubiano, Kathrin P. Fidelino & Rolando S. Navajas

ABSTRACT. To increase the level of disaster preparedness of G11 SHS learners in times of calamities and to
develop the responsiveness skills in giving first aid treatment. This study utilized participatory action research
focused on the underlying principle of soliciting participants’ meaningful experiences on during the disaster
symposium (Cresswell, 1998). A total of (310) G11 SHS learners from Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL)
and Academic tracks participated. Pretest-posttest design was utilized to determine the significant difference in
their level of disaster preparedness before and after the symposium. The disaster symposium increased the level
of preparedness of the learners as evident in the monthly earthquake drill and other disaster awareness
campaigns. Furthermore, a sense of responsibility was developed among the learners being a “rescuer” in times
of emergency. This study can be a way to stimulate the interests of students to become serious in every disaster
campaign like earthquake drill conducted in the school. Furthermore, the school can be equipped with learners
and teachers who are working hand-in-hand to promote disaster awareness. This study has its unique impact to
community as far as disaster preparedness and survival is concerned. This can serve as a basis for disaster
action plan with students, teachers and other educational stakeholders

Management program at Brgy. Looc Calamba City, Laguna as assessed by the City Environment and Natural
Resources officers and the Barangay Looc Residence Implemented in terms of objectives, policies and waste
management system; (2) how do the assessments of the two groups of respondents on the status of solid waste
management compare? (3) what are the problems encountered in terms of Solid Waste Management? And (4) based
on the findings of the study, what action plan can be proposed to further improve the status of ecological waste
management at Brgy. Looc, Calamba City, Laguna? The researcher used random sampling. The seventy respondents
were the residents of Barangay Banay-Banay who can represent the whole community who were affected by the
implementation of ESWM program. The other thirty respondents were from the officials and staffs of Ecological Solid
Waste Management Department of CENRO who were the implementers of ESWM program in every barangay in the
City of Calamba. Statistical treatments applied to the study included the frequency and percent distributions in
presenting the profile of the two groups of respondents. Concerning the implementation of ecological solid waste
management program and occurrence of related problems, the five-point Likert Scale, the simple mean and to establish
the difference between the assessment of City Environment Natural Resources Office and residents of Brgy. Looc
Calamba City, the t test for independent samples were used. The result showed that the two groups of respondents
were really aware of the objectives of ESWM. The result reveals that in practice, the respondents participate in the
operation of such management system. And it is also concluded in the finding of the study that the ESWM implementers
are ready to improve their management systems and on the residents’ side, they were ready to help the government
to achieve the goals and objectives of ESWM program in their barangay. Both of the respondent groups are conscious
and alert of the problems existing when it comes to the Ecological Solid Waste Management operation. Based on the
findings of the study, the researcher formulates an action plan to further improve the ecological solid waste
management in Brgy Looc. A new flow of managing solid waste is recommended. The involvement of ever unit in the
society is very needed to promulgate and to improve the status of ESWM in Brgy. Looc and to become the basis of
every barangay here in the City of Calamba. This Study was conducted at Barangay Looc, Calamba City and at the
City Environment and Natural Resources Office of Calamba which were fit in assessing the implementation of
Ecological Solid waste management and to find out the related problems regarding ESWM. This heuristic research is

ABSTRACT. The study was conducted to determine the readiness and awareness of San Luis Senior High
School in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management. The descriptive method of research was utilized by the
researchers in determining the readiness and awareness on DRRM. The t- test, weighted mean and ranking
were used in the statistical treatment of data. The level of readiness of the school in DRRM as assessed by the
learners and teachers was to a great extent. There was a significant difference between their assessments,
hence, the null hypothesis was rejected. The level of awareness of the school in DRRM was to a great extent as
assessed by two groups. The computed t – value revealed that there was no significant difference on the
assessments of the two groups of respondents as to the level of awareness in DRRM, and the null hypothesis is
accepted. The study is limited on the assessments of two groups of respondents in gauging the level of
awareness and readiness on DRRM. Based on the findings and conclusions drawn, recommendations that may
help to easily cope with and overcome the worsening effects of the disasters that one may experience inside the
school premises, were proposed.

PUBLIC SECONDARY HIGH SCHOOL’S READINESS ON DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

AND MANAGEMENT IN THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA

Ronnel Abigael D. Maneclang, RN, MAN, Joanna Marie A. de Borja, MaEd & Eden V. Evangelista, PhD

ABSTRACT. This paper examines the readiness of secondary schools on disaster risk reduction and
management in the City of Santa Rosa, Laguna. Schools are expected to prepare a disaster program since
communities believe that schools will keep students from threats, accidents, and disasters. Methodology used
was sequential explanatory research method. The aim is to use the qualitative results to further explain and
interpret the findings from the quantitative phase. As a result, school heads identified that flood is the most priority
among hazards since the schools serve as a catch basin of nearby places. Likewise, data obtained from the
survey answered by teacher-respondents yielded values which state that there are still factors that needed to be
improved regarding school’s preparation on natural disasters and emergencies. With the current condition of
Laguna specifically in the City of Sta. Rosa, the researchers assessed the readiness of school particularly school
heads and teachers among selected public junior high schools. Nevertheless, given salient data from different
sources, schools still need a lot of improvement in terms of disaster and emergencies preparedness. This may
also pave the way for more teachers’ trainings and develop an action plan.

LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE TO DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND RISK REDUCTION AMONG

SELECTED SCHOOLS: BASIS FOR AN ACTION PLAN TO ENHANCE SDRRM PROGRAM

Santoyo, Ernie G. a & Evangelista, Eden V., Ph.D. b

ABSTRACT. Disaster preparedness and risk reduction are recognized as a fundamental action for creating a
safe future and for reducing the severity of losses during disasters. An effective disaster risk reduction
management program is a holistic action involving the entire school community. It is on this frame that the study
was conceptualized, to look into the level of compliance of the three participating schools concerning Deped
Order No. 21, s. 2015. It sought to determine compliance in the aspects of safe learning facilities, school disaster
management and disaster risk reduction in education. Using descriptive research design, an adopted survey
questionnaire was constructed and anchored from DepEd SDRRM monitoring guidelines. 276 respondents were
randomly selected; a group of students with a total of 120 and teachers and staff with 156. After floating the
survey questionnaire, it was tallied and subjected to statistical analysis for interpretation. Findings revealed that
schools had a good compliance level on DRRM program implementation. Furthermore, the chi-square test
revealed that as long as the school follows the DepEd DRRM guidelines and policies then difficulties and
problems will not take any serious damage when a major disaster occur. The identified pressing difficulty was
the school community tends to become too complaisant since there was a rare occurrence of a major disaster.
To solve the difficulty, it was recommended to utilize the proposed action plan to enhance the school’s disaster
risk reduction and management program.

SCHOOL LEARNING ACTION SESSION (SLAS) TO ENHANCE STUDENT’S AWARENESS ON

SEXUALITY AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH IN GRADE 9 AND 10

Cristina E. Pamatmat & Christopher Aaron S. De Leon

ABSTRACT: Students’ awareness on Sexuality and Reproductive Health (SRH) is one way of addressing cases
of early pregnancy and STDs. Result from the School Learning Action Session (SLAS) showed that the general
knowledge of students about SRH has increased, specifically by giving substantial information to students who
have no prior concrete knowledge about SRH. The SLAS has deepened the belief of students who previously
believed that early sexual activities have an impact on their future lives and reversed the belief of respondents
who believed otherwise. Also, the SLAS gave students idea that delaying the engagement to sexual activities
has favorable impact in their future lives. Meanwhile, sexual abstinence has been opened as an alternative way
of not engaging to early sexual activities rather than just choosing between to use or not to use contraceptives
to prevent early pregnancy and STIs. Through the SLAS, students has developed aversion from risky behaviors
like hugging, kissing and solo dating, thereby discouraging students to early engagement to sexual activities.
Discussions focusing on general knowledge, beliefs and behaviors on Sexuality and Reproductive Health utilizing
School Learning Action Session (SLAS) aided students in creating informed decisions for themselves.

GENDER DOMINANCE IN JAIME AN LIM'S "AXOLOTL COLONY"

Jessriel Bayucot

ABSTRACT: Style is an aspect of a literary piece of writing that gives a unique recognition to the writer. This
study identified gender dominance as a stylistic technique used in Jaime An Lim’s award-winning short story
“The Axolotl Colony.” It used the framework of Conversational Analysis to determine gender dominance between
the male and female characters in terms of the amount of talk, number of turns, interruptions, and topic changes.
It found out that female characters dominated not only in the amount of talk and number of turns but also
interrupted and initiated topic changes more than the male character. It can be concluded that conversational
gender dominance was used by the writer as stylistic technique to provide credence to his portrayal of the
protagonists’ life in consonance with the controlled and manipulated axolotls in the title of the story.

Ronnie Z. Villanueva

ABSTRACT: The best thing in human life is to be free, but there are millions in prisoners throughout the world.
They continue to commit offenses due to lack of trust, opportunities, unemployment, and neo-literate upon
release. The study was conducted to determine the rehabilitation program for Person Deprive of Liberty (PDL) in
Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP). The 134 (95 Males, 31 Females & 8 LGBT) respondents
were trustees, coordinators and inmate leaders. Participation was voluntary and selection was done through
purposive sampling method. Inmate respondents were the least possibility to escape but they are able, capable
and willing to participate in the research study. All penal institution not being managed by BJMP-Laguna was
excluded. Descriptive Survey Method was used through observation, survey questionnaire and interview. The
data shows that prison dormitories were congested making inmate sleeps in hallway or even near the toilet. The
first offense was from 14-31 years old, city dweller was prone to become prisoners, parent was elementary level
just like their grandparents, 80% do not have business and 3 out of 5 of inmate parent were unemployed. More
than half do not have parents to guide before committing the first crime. Inmates were satisfied with the support
given by BJMP, schools and family while government and community’s support was the least. The reasons in
committing offenses were due to lack of money with highest to female inmates who were single mother.
Rehabilitation program from Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) are (1) Basic Education Program
(BEP); (2) Moral, Religious and Sports Program (MRS) and (3) Vocational, Technical, Livelihood Skills Training
(VST). The problems of PDL with regards to rehabilitation program in BEP was the availability of space to study
and enrollment in education behind bars; for MRS, it was several religious ideas that create confusion on what
religious group to be followed, limited assistance in moral and sports program; for VST, the low quality of PDL
products, limited space, and limited stakeholders for product enhancement and promotion. There is significant
relationship between gender and employment status of persons deprive of liberty and the offense committed.
Recommendation for BEP is to be accessible and separate room during session; for MRS is separate room
during worship and encouraged Muslim leaders’ to teach Quran to Muslim inmates; sports club to manage
sports program in jail; for VST is new programs for inmates and partnership from local and international agency
for product enhancement and marketing are essential. The study reveals that the higher the education of a person
is the least to become prisoner, while family, government policy and community are factors that drives
successful/unsuccessful reintegration of inmates into society upon release.

Remy L. Untalan
ABSTRACT: In Division of Lipa City, gender and development training for teachers are conducted annually. Five
percent of the MOOE budget (Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses) is allotted for the training. During
the training faculty members are exposed to lectures and demonstrations that will help them to be gender
sensitive especially in dealing with the learners. Realizations and learnings about gender sensitivity are all
applied to classroom and become part of the teaching strategies. This is in accordance with DepEd Order no. 2,
s. 2017 that mandates Gender and Development mainstreaming in all Policies and Programs, Projects, and
Activities ( PPAs) which has an objective of promoting gender equality in teaching methodologies. The researcher
intended to find out the level of gender equality teaching practices of Grade 10 teachers in terms of classroom
organization, classroom strategies, classroom discipline and inclusive classroom environment and the level of
social interaction of Grade 10 learners in Bugtongnapulo Integrated National High School. This study used the
descriptive method of research since it aimed to determine the level of gender equality teaching practices of
Grade 10 teachers and the level of social interaction of Grade 10 learners in Bugtongnapulo Integrated National
High School. The respondents of this study were teachers teaching Grade 10 learners and 52 male and 45
female Grade 10 students in Bugtongnapulo Integrated National High School. The questionnaire was used as
the main data-gathering instrument. Two sets of questionnaires were prepared for Grade 10 teachers and for
male and female students. Mean percentage score and Pearson product moment were utilized to analyse and
interpret the data. Results showed that both gender equality teaching practices among teachers and social
interactions of Grade 10 students are at average level. There is a significant relationship between gender equality
teaching practices and social interaction of Grade 10 learners. Gender equality teaching practices contribute to
positive social interaction of the learners. The study limited itself to the assumption that gender equality teaching
practices are those approaches utilized in organization of classroom, classroom strategies, discipline and
inclusive classroom environment and social interactions of the learners. Promotion of gender-equality begins in
the classroom and with a teacher. Instructional delivery that is gender-responsive create more equal opportunities

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to determine adolescent pregnancy cases in public school in the
Division of Lipa City Descriptive design was used to establish the relationship of the factors. Effect size was used
to obtain the needed sample. Purposive sampling was then used which covered only those students who were
pregnant enrolled for the Academic Year 2018-2019. The researcher has visited all public schools in Lipa City
offering Senior High School program during the administration of the survey questionnaire. Interestingly, the
study found out that teenage pregnancy is prevalent among public schools in Lipa City despite the government’s
drive of promoting sex education. Among the schools offering senior high school, 27 teenage pregnancy cases
were discovered. It further revealed that Peer (3.80) and family factors (3.80) were pointed out to be the main
reasons for the pregnancy attributing the influence that their friends play in their decision to engage in sexual
activities. Moreover, the respondents revealed that sexual activities usually happened at home while their parents
were at work or simply not paying attention at all for what they were doing. Education (3.50) is another important
factor that they emphasized claiming that they were not comfortable asking questions related to their sexuality
or sexual activities with anyone. The researcher deemed necessary to conduct the study because learners Senior

DEVELOPING GENDER TEXTBOOK ASSESSMENT MODEL BASED ON GENDER

REPRESENTATION
IN PHILIPPINE K-12 ENGLISH LEARNER’S MATERIAL

Joey Zorrilla Balsomo, PhD

ABSTRACT: Gender representation, the portrayal of women and men in text or visual illustrations, has received
a growing interest in the academic community in this recent decade. This trend is presumably the result of global
campaign of gender mainstreaming to promote gender equality after the United Nations Economic and Social
Council resolution. In the Philippines, through Philippine Initiative on Gender-Responsive Governance, the
DepEd Philippines released DO 32, s. 2017 known as Gender-Responsive Basic Education Policy in line with
Gender and Development (GAD) mandate as stipulated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Republic Act No.
9710 or the Magna Carta of Women, RA 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, and the
Philippine’s International Human Rights Commitments to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR),
Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights
of the Child consequently inspired this action research. This paper aimed to develop an assessment model that
would be used by teachers and textbook evaluators in monitoring and regulating learner’s materials to providing
a fair and gender sensitive instructional material because biased gender roles learned in earlier life is difficult to
change in the latter part of a young learner’s life. Guided by interrelating gender concepts, the paper employed
corpus analysis on English materials and revealed that secondary learner’s materials are much prone in
misrepresentation of gender, although neutral reference such as people was seen across grade levels. Hence,
the researcher recommended to review further the K-12 learner’s materials.

GENDER-BASED ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH GRADE 9 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL AND ITS

SENSITIVITY TO SEXIST LANGUAGE

Rica Mae B. Javier, Michelle A. Alcala, Alberto B. Emata

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to analyze the gender sensitivity of English grade 9 material through evaluation
of texts and pictorial presentations. In addition, it modified the grade 9 material tasks through localization and
contextualization of the investigated gender-insensitive texts and pictures. Gender analysis was employed
through content evaluation. The descriptive method of research was utilized in this study that made use of the
adapted survey-questionnaire and results undergone quantitative interpretation. It was found out that English
grade 9 material is gender-biased in some of the evaluated literary texts and pictorial representations. Also, it
was realized that the modified English Grade 9 material is highly acceptable to the target users. The need to
investigate the instructional material in terms of its gender and language sensitivity is one way to ensure the
equality of handing instructions to the learners.

GENDER RESPONSIVENESS AND COMMON GENDER ISSUES OF PROGRAMS AND

PROJECTS MANAGEMENT IN THE DIVISION OF QUEZON

Michelle G. Duma & Regina V. Marino

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the gender responsiveness and determined the common gender issues of
programs and projects management in the Division of Quezon which served as the basis in the development of
a guidebook. Descriptive method of research was employed involving selected school heads and public schools
district supervisors (PSDSs). Survey questionnaire was utilized to gather responses which were treated
statistically using weighed arithmetic mean (WAM) and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. The results revealed
that the programs and projects management is less gender-responsive which is supported by a grand WAM
value of 2.15. This implies that the principles of gender equality, equity and sensitivity are not fully integrated in
managing the programs and projects in the Division of Quezon. There is an agreement also in the common
gender issues of programs and projects management implying that there are existing issues as to gender
perspective. Further, there is no significant agreement in the assessment of school heads and PSDSs on gender
responsiveness of programs and projects as well as in the common gender issues implying that the assessment
of the respondents is not the same. Gender responsiveness of programs and projects management was
described and evaluated using four phases such as identification, designing, implementation and monitoring and
evaluation. This only involved the collection of quantitative data from the purposively selected respondents in the
Division of Quezon. A guidebook was developed to help the school implementers in the development of programs
and projects with the perspective of gender responsiveness.

Pascual C. La Rosa Jr., Karina R. Bautista & Rolan B. Catapang

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the profile of Gender and Development (GAD) advocates in all
public schools of Lucena City, and their assessment of their ability to talk about different aspects of GAD to
develop a three (3) year development program for GAD Champions. The researchers used purposive sampling
to include all Gender and Development (GAD) advocates in all public schools of Lucena City. FGD was used for
validation of the survey results. The study found out that almost half of Gender and Development Advocates
designated at the school level is only a member of Gender and Development Focal Point System (GFPS) for one
(1) year or less. Not surprisingly, almost half of the respondents said that they know little about the basic GAD
Concepts. Additionally, majority said they know little about GAD Policies and Mandates and GAD Tools. These
findings are used in designing training program for School GAD Champions. This study is conducted within
Lucena City which focused at Gender and Development (GAD) advocates in all public schools of Lucena City.
Gender Responsive Basic Education Policy of DepEd highlighted the need for GAD Resource person at the
school level to support teachers for gender mainstreaming in different aspects of basic education. This study
investigates the GAD advocates profile to design a long-term training program for teachers GAD Champion.

STRUGGLES TO TRIUMPH: EXPERIENCES OF FEMALE STUDENT-ATHLETES IN

ORGANIZED SPORTS COMPETITION

Renan D. Garcia & Ramir P. Carreon Jr.

ABSTRACT: The study intended to divulge the experiences of female student-athletes in an organized sports
competition. This utilized a transcendental phenomenological studies design of the respondents’ response on
their experiences. A bracketing process was adapted to separate the researchers’ perspective from the
respondents’ experiences. The Special Program in Sports students of Looc National High School had varied
experiences in participating sports competition. Different themes were formed from the responses of the
informants to the question, “what are their experiences in participating sports competition?” These are Academic
Performance, Financial Support, and Coaches Knowledge and Skills. Two different themes were also made from
the responses of the informants to the question, “How did these experiences affect student-athletes
performance?” These are low academic performance, drop-outs in sports, and Emotional and personal relations.
It is recommended that the coordinators and teachers will craft a training design and intervention that two parties
will be beneficial in order to improve the quality of the program and the female student-athletes performance.

PAGLALADLAD-A PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS ON STUDENTS’ HOMOSEXUALITY:

IMPLICATION TO GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT

Adrian L. Catapat

ABSTRACT: As time pave way to the so called third gender, the society has already accepted the fact that
homosexuality is here to stay. The truth behind every side of the female and male homosexuality remained the
same since most do not understand their situations. Academically, this study would make a contribution to the
literature on homosexuality in the Philippine culture by focusing on how homosexual vary and constructed its
meaning within societal and familial context. The researcher used the descriptive case study method to find
answers to the questions postulated and to gather facts with regards to the existing conditions. The criteria were
used since the study involves female homosexuals/ lesbian and male homosexuals or gay men. The researcher
used the interview protocol to get the necessary data regarding the topic. In order to analyze the gathered data,
the researcher used the psychological theories, specifically psychosexual theory of development of Sigmund
Feud and psychosocial theory of development of Erik Erikson which are related to the study. Studies regarding
social and developmental psychology are to be referred to, especially on the profile and status of the subjects.
By then comprehensive analysis through the field of related literature and studies on homosexuality will be used
in order to analyze the given results of the subjects. Acceptance from family and the society results to
contentment and happiness as revealed by Subject A and B. Confidence and self-worth to the chosen status
were revealed. Likewise, Subject C and D wish that someday their family and the society will accept their chosen
sexuality in life so that they will feel fulfilled and important as human being. the researcher was prompted to
conduct a research regarding the process and difficulties encountered in coming-out or “pagladlad” of gay and
lesbian students. Since school is considered as the major context for gender socialization, through this research
and the findings, students, faculty and other personnel would be able to magnify and diminish gender differences
by providing environments that promote within gender similarity and between gender differences or the inverse
within-gender variability and between group similarity. As such, LGB students/learners will be able to express
themselves in the most democratic way. They will learn and be nurtured in the most humane and genuine learning
environment.

LEARNERS PERSPECTIVES ON COST AND BENEFIT OF MIGRATION: BASIS FOR

ENHANCEMENT OF SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMFOR OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKERS
CHILDREN

Pascual C. La Rosa Jr., Belen M. Andal & Barbara Jane E. Barron

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of learners,
the socio- economic of their household, and the cost and benefit of migration as well as the coping mechanisms
used by Overseas Filipino Workers Children (OF Children). The researchers used purposive sampling to include
all OF Children enrolled in SDO Lucena whom the parents had given consent. FGD was used for validation of
the result. The study found out that majority of migrant parents are the mothers who works for two (2) years
serving as domestic worker in the middle east in temporary status with income of 10,000-20,000. However, the
learners don’t know the economic cost of migration. For the social cost, some lacked the motivation to study even
though majority believed they had greater opportunity to study. Finally, majority of learners cope with migration
positively. Interestingly, some learners reveal that they don’t seek social support. These findings are considered
in improving the program. This study is conducted within Lucena City which focused at OF Children enrolled at
public schools of SDO Lucena City during the school year 2018-2019. It is also limited to the respondents whom
the parents consented to be surveyed. Children are affected by socio-economic costs as well as benefits of
migration. This study explores the characteristics of overseas Filipino workers children in Lucena City to enhance
the school-based program for OF Children.

CVAD: CARE FOR VICTIMS OF ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION IN PROMOTING CHILD

PROTECTION ADVOCACY AT STO. DOMINGO INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL

Floro Llamas Peria Jr.

ABSTRACT: This study has determined the significance of a proactive intervention in dealing with the victims
of adolescent depression through the establishment of a support group called CVAD: Care for Victims of
Adolescent Depression in Promoting Child Protection Advocacy at Sto. Domingo Integrated High School.”
Questions were raised such as, “why is a support group like CVAD: Care for Victims of Adolescent Depression
important,” and “how is the promotion of child protection advocacy fostered among the students of Sto. Domingo
Integrated High School, Sta. Rosa City” to gather the perceptions and reactions of the grade 11 students, a
Guidance Coordinator, and class advisers, one each from grades 10 and 11. This study has used a Mixed-
Research Method and embedded design consisting of a descriptive quantitative survey method and a
phenomenological qualitative research design that support the findings of the quantitative data. A researcher-
made survey questionnaire was used and recorded interview was conducted to collect the data for the study.
After computing the chi-square values, the following output is revealed: Between frequency of responses for the
establishment of CVAD and the promotion of a child protection advocacy, the chi-square is greater than the
critical value. Thus, a significant relationship between variables was concluded. Based on the personal and
recorded interview with the Guidance Coordinator, a Grade 10 and a Grade 11 advisers, it was found out that a
support group like CVAD is significant in order to guide the students in coping up from depressive mood. In
addition, CVAD is found out to be an ideal way in promoting child protection advocacy among the students of
Sto. Domingo Integrated High School. This study is limited in determining the perceptions and reactions of the
respondents from Sto. Domingo Integrated High School. Due to ethical consideration, consent from the parents
was acquired for the minor students and personal identity of participants for the interview was concealed. The
study is originally created by the researcher as a response of Sto. Domingo Integrated High School to DepEd
Order No. 40, series 2012 or the Deped Child Protection Policy.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Jonathan A. Almirante
ABSTRACT: The study assessed the instructional leadership practices of selected elementary school heads in
the City Schools Division of Bacoor in the hope to recommend a proposed leadership program for school heads.
A sample size of eight (8) school heads and 179 teachers were chosen as respondents using a descriptive-
evaluative design. The respondents were mostly female with MA units with positions of Teacher I – III. On the
average, the number of years in the service and number of years in current school was 6 years and above. It
further revealed that the respondents’ evaluation showed a “Frequently” response. It showed that on Leadership
and Governance, passing of reports on time to district and division offices was the highest. In Curriculum
Supervision and Instruction, it revealed that the school heads’ instructional leadership practices had a
“Frequently” response. It furthered showed that the school heads support teachers in developing and improving
instruction to embrace the K-12 curriculum and be able to compete globally. In terms of Staff Development,
school heads are great motivators in pursuing lifelong learning and professional growth of the teachers to develop
their abilities and skills. Furthermore, it was depicted in Monitoring Students’ Progress that school heads are
hands-on in giving rewards to achieving pupils. Likewise, they are constant in discussing the academic
performance results with the parents through parent-teacher conferences. Lastly, it showed that there is no
significant difference in the instructional leadership practices of school heads as assessed by the teachers and
school heads and when they are grouped according to their profile. Based on the foregoing findings and
conclusions, it is recommended that capacity and leadership program should be done to equip school heads to
perform more effectively in the different aspects of instructional leadership. It is furthered recommended that the
school heads should enhance management skills to manage school process, analyze curriculum implementation,
strengthen staff development and stakeholders’ participation, and concentrate in monitoring students’ progress.

SCHOOLPROGRAM REPORTS IN THE DIVISION OF TAYABAS CITY

Joan Kathleen T. Brizuela

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the challenges in the accomplishment of Adopt-A-School Program
(ASP) Reports of school coordinators in the Division of Tayabas City. The study considered the demographic
profile of the ASP school coordinators as respondents in terms of age, sex, civil status, position, length of service
as ASP school coordinators, number of ASP trainings, school distance from Schools Division Office and number
of ancillary services. The challenges of the respondents on the accomplishment of ASP reports in terms of
workload, document keeping, Adopt-A-School Program Report Accomplishment and monitoring and school-
based validation were also identified. The significant differences on challenges when the respondents are
grouped according to the demographic profile were also determined. The study utilized a survey and comparative
type of research where online research-made questionnaire served as the research instrument and quantitative
responses were validated through focus group discussions. As presented in the results of the study, majority of
the ASP school coordinators are from middle adulthood, female, married, Teacher I, serving as ASP coordinators
from 1-3 years known as career entry survival with two (2) Trainings for ASP who travel above 3kms. from their
school to the Schools Division Office with 4 and above ancillary services.The respondents strongly agreed that
workloads is the greatest challenge with a qualitative index of difficult with a mean of 3.15 while least challenging
is ASP Report accomplishment with a qualitative index of less difficult with a of 2.48. Meanwhile, there is no
significant difference in the challenges encountered by the ASP school coordinators when they are grouped
according to their age, sex, civil status, position, length of service and number of trainings. The demographic
profile of the respondents has nothing to do with the challenges encountered by the ASP school coordinators in
the accomplishment of ASP reports in the Division of Tayabas City. Based on the findings and conclusions, ot is
recommended that a Division Mechanism for the Facilitation of Adopt-A-School Program Report in Document
Keeping, ASP Report Accomplishment and Submission be utilized to address the challenges encountered by the
school coordinators in the accomplishment of the ASP reports in the Division of Tayabas City.

THE LEVEL OF STUDENT SATISFACTION ON THE SERVICES OF SCHOOL-BASED CLINIC

Gerry M. Barleta & Julius T. Riego

ABSTRACT: The research aimed to know the level of availing and level of satisfaction and its relationship to
each other in terms of clinic services in San Pablo City Integrated High school. The quantitative research uses
correlational approach and used survey questionnaires to gather the needed data. The study used different
statistical tools such as Frequency and Mean percentage, Percentile and Standard Deviation and Spearman to
determine the correlations. The level of availing with an average of 4.5961 interpreted as moderately available.
Which implies that the service lacks at something. The computed mean for the level of satisfaction is 4.5624
which interpreted as moderately satisfied. This indicates that the respondents are moderately satisfied to the
service. Upon treating the data, the researchers found out that in terms Students’ satisfaction (Giving of
Information, Empathy with The Patient, Technical Quality and Competence) there is moderate positive correlation
to the availing of school clinic services (Monitoring And Inspection, Clinic Confinement, Emergency And First Aid
Management And Referral). However, in terms of student’s satisfaction (Attitude towards the patient, Access
and Continuity and General Satisfaction) there is a Low Positive to Negligible correlation. It is recommended
that the clinic has to improve on the delivery of its services, including the clinic hours, the quality of the clinic
services should also be upgraded. The school clinic should hire more nurses to cater the growing needs of
SPCIHS population, and the school should provide more funds so that the clinic can provide monitoring services
and the needed medicines.

STATUS AND CHALLENGES

Christopher S. Magbitang, Evelyn A. Cabusora, Perla G. Gliponeo & Leilani H. Cruz

ABSTRACT: Science and Mathematics education play an important role in the country’s development Although
there is a high demand for graduates who possess scientific and mathematical skills, students’ performance in
Science and Mathematics fail to meet this demand. Students have been reported to perform poor in Science
and Mathematics for years. The results of both international and local student achievement tests indicate that
our students’ performance in these areas is dwindling. According to Cordero (2018), The study is an assessment
of the implementation of Science, Technology and Engineering program (STEP) in Looc Integrated School.
Specifically, it identified the strengths in the program’s implementation in terms of Goals, Plans, Actions and
Outcomes. The study utilized the descriptive method of research sampling was done. The data was gathered
personally by the researcher. Survey questionnaires were distributed to the teachers and students. The result
showed that the STEP’s implementation in terms of Goals, Plans, Actions and Outcomes are all Good. All of the
challenges were identified by both the students and teachers as moderately serious. Hence, it is conluded that
the different aspects of the program were implemented in the school but not with excellence. There is a need to
address the problems encountered to improve the implementation of the program. This study focused on the
assessment of the program’s goals, plans, actions, and outcomes. The present study focused on Looc Integrated
School alone being the only school in Calamba City that implements the program. .
The results of this study will serve as empirical evidence in the level of implementation of the program. All the
information that will be gathered will serve as a guide in the development of activities in order to implement the
program better.

REVISITING TEACHER’S COMMITMENT LEVEL; IN THE 21 ST CENTURY

Dr. Ofelia B. Arvisu, Estela G. Bertulano & Cindi N. Alejandrino

ABSTRACT: The following responses from the in-depth interviews conducted among the selected parents and
learners during S.Y. 2018-2019 revealed that teachers’ commitment level can be considered as one significant
factor for the marked decrease in figures based on the current status of School Report Card in terms of the
Learning Outcome Assessment (LOA) results, dropout and promotion rate. This prompted the researchers to
revisit the commitment level of the teacher-participants in the 21st century. To determine the commitment level
of teachers in the 21st century, a phenomenological approach was used. Through systematic sampling, the
researchers were able to select 16 participants out of 57 teachers from Maragondon National High School. Four
teacher-participants were selected per grade level. Utilizing unstructured interviews in this study gave the
researchers rich and in-depth information about the study. The data from the recorded interview were transcribed.
Significant statements, sentences, or quotes that provide information into how the teacher-participants
experience the phenomenon were thematically coded. For the purpose of revisiting the teachers’ commitment
level in the 21st century, the study made use of the Modified Van Kaam approach that was popularized by
Moustakas. Certain themes were developed after analyzing the lived experiences of teacher-participants in the
21st century and how well they respond to the challenges of the 21 st century education. This qualitative research
only focused on the commitment level of 16 teachers at Maragondon National High School, S.Y. 2019-2020.
Learning from the teachers lived experiences gave the researchers a bird’s-eye view for another research or
study. In this 21st century era where different challenges come across the four corners of the classroom, the
researchers believe that the responses of teachers mainly depend on their level of commitment.

ARCHETYPAL PERSPECTIVE FOR POSTMODERN EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP:

CONCRESCENTIAL STEWARDSHIP AS APPRECIATIVE LEADERSHIP DESIGN

Alfred James A. Ellar, Genie Fe M. Ellar & Irene S. Pasoquin

ABSTRACT: The postmodern organization is generally characterized by discrete interrelationship with variety of
individual objectives within the organizational goal. Organizational leaders have to maintain this diversity of
strengths while sustaining the pursuance of a single unified educational-organizational aspiration. Given this
postmodern organizational context, this paper aims to construct a leadership archetype that could cater
appreciation and sustainability of unity amidst diversity through the lens of appreciative leadership design. Under
the expository-argumentative design of research, the paper utilized philosophical discourse analysis and
theoretical reconstruction methods to arrive at the desired results of the study. Accordingly, the results of analysis
and reconstruction lead to the formulation of the archetypal perspective known as Concrescential Stewardship
as a form of appreciative leadership design. Concrescential stewardship highlights the key archetypes of
appreciative leadership in terms of building characters, creating values, empowering choices and transforming
lives among the members of the educational organization. Nevertheless, this research venture would yield a
perspective on the possible archetypal manifestation of appreciative leadership in the context of educational
organization.

INPUT TO SCHOOL-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM

Larry M. Roallos

ABSTRACT: This study identifies the job satisfaction level of teachers in terms of age and sex with the aim of
providing input to school-based training program. It also determines the relationship between the teachers’ job
satisfaction and their profile. The researcher used the descriptive research design with standardized Job
Satisfaction Survey of Paul Spector supplemented by interview with twenty-two teachers from San Agustin
Integrated School as respondents. Majority of the respondents have high job satisfaction level in work aspects
across age brackets except for the variables of operating conditions and promotion which generally have
ambivalent satisfaction level. Teachers within the two age brackets generally had high satisfaction level on
variables such as pay, supervision, fringe benefits, contingent rewards, co-workers, nature of work and
communication. Females were more satisfied than male teachers in variables such as pay, promotion and fringe
benefits. Both sexes were highly satisfied with supervision, contingent rewards, co-workers, nature of work and
communication but they had ambivalent satisfaction level in operating conditions. This research is limited to
teachers’ perception and assessment of their job in this school only. It is holistic in nature since it tackles the
over-all job satisfaction parameters based on the standardized instrument.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to determine the impact of Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education (ALIVE)
as perceived by the Asatidz. The level of competency of Asatidz in terms of knowledge, skills and attitude were
also assessed to identify the concerns needed to be addressed. In addition to this, the level of implementation in
terms of school facilities, instructional materials, Department of Education support and learners are also part of
the study. Using descriptive survey, the researchers were able to gather important data and information that
were relevant on the study. Findings revealed that the program paves way for building peace and friendship
among Muslims and Christians since it serves as avenue in delivering equal quality education among all learners
irregardless of religion. The results also unveil some of the concerns and problems faced by the Asatidz. It was
revealed that they are lack of information with regard to government policies and planning to the program and
only few of them are willing to serve despite of the salary. There are no classrooms intended for the classes and
most of the pupils are not interested in studying Arabic language and have multiple absences due to class
schedule. Nevertheless, the research serves as reference in crafting strategic projects and activities to
strengthen and sustain the ALIVE program implementation in the whole Region IV-A CALABARZON.

Michael William V. Puna III

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine if the conduct of Career Guidance Program (CGP) Modules
and Work Immersion are really helping Grade12 learners in choosing their right college courses. The researcher
utilized descriptive research design. Then, he randomly selected the respondents from the two (2) sections of
Grade 12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learners of Los Baños Senior High School
(LBSHS). A researcher also made a questionnaire and distributed to the thirty - eight (38) chosen respondents.
Simple statistics like Frequency and Percentage were used to get the analysis of data. The Career Guidance
Program (CGP) Modules and Work Immersion (WI) were found to provide help in choosing the college courses
of Grade 12 STEM students. This is reflected on the significant learnings of the respondents. It is also visible in
the identified help or assistance that they rendered to the respondents. In general, the courses taken by Grade
12 STEM students are related to their Track and Strand which are Academic and STEM respectively. This is
denoted by thirty six (36) responses or equivalent to 94.74 % the total responses. Most of the courses that they
intend to take are related to Science and Mathematics. The learners are also becoming more involved in making
the decisions of what particular college course they will pursue. It is visible in the percentage of their involvement
particularly twelve (12) responses or 31.58 % for the child and twenty two (2) or 57.89 % for both child and
parents. It is also recommended that in the conduct of CGP Modules, consider having more self - assessment
activities, and more reading and oral activities like sharing of outputs. Allot enough time to execute the modules
to the SHS students. In the conduct of Work Immersion, try to make the time longer, have more exposure to
actual field works and assign the students to institutions where their interests could be enhanced. In addition,
other school programs or activities are suggested in order to augment the right career choices of SHS students
like symposia or seminars about career path and opportunities, job fair, and organize club like peer educators or
counselors club through the guidance counselors or advocates. And finally intensify the Counselling Program for
SHS students focused on career pathing.

PROGRAM RPMS (RANKING PROCEDURE AND MERIT SYSTEM): AN INTERVENTION FOR

THE TEACHERS’ JOURNEY TOWARDS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

Nelia M. Tabuyo & Melannie V. Rivas

ABSTRACT: Over the years, the quality of teachers has become one of the most widely talked about issues in
the field of education. The main problem that has caught some attention of the stakeholders of education
nowadays is how teachers update themselves in terms of professional development and how school leaders
helped teachers in updating and improving themselves towards outstanding performance. Nowadays, teachers
are much occupied with so many things aside from performing actual teaching, they also hold different
assignments that demand a lot of their time. With this, the views of teachers regarding Program RPMS towards
outstanding performance, their common practices to enhance their performance and exemplary contributions
through Program RPMS, and how this program can be enhanced to motivate more the teachers will be the aim
of this action research. This research was anchored on the Division’s Gawad Ginintuang Leon and Region’s
Gawad Patnugot, programs that aim to recognize and reward the exemplary contribution of the human resources
instructional leaders, teachers, and non-teaching personnel who have brought honor to their workplace. The
descriptive research method will be employed in this study. The researchers will use interview protocol. The
results of the interviews and focus group discussions with the teachers about their journey and experiences in
joining the Program RPMS will be gathered. After identifying the respondents and getting the results of the
interviews and focus group discussions, the technical assistance for the preparation of teaching personnel for
the Program RPMS will be conducted after the first screening of candidates as a preparation also for the Gawad
Ginintuang Leon of SDO Santa Rosa City and later on Gawad Patnugot of Region 4A CALABARZON. This will
determine whether the results have improved after the technical assistance through Program RPMS has been
applied. The results of this study will be grouped into two categories: Structural and Textural. For the Structural,
the results will be themed in the following: Preparations, Contributions, Motivations and Consequence while for
Textural, the results will be themed into Acceptance, Change, Experience, Influence, and Enhancement. This
study is however limited to the research locale – Dita Elementary School where the researchers are currently
assigned since this will be beneficial to the teaching personnel of the school and will later benefit the learners in
general. This action research will be employed Program RPMS – as an initiative of the Dita Elementary School
in which the school head and master teachers work together for the excellence of the teaching staff for their
ultimate benefactor, the learners.

AN ASSESSMENT OF FEEDBACK MECHANISM: BASIS FOR POLICY RECOMMENDATION

Marty Brian B. Chan

ABSTRACT: Customer satisfaction (feedback) is a tool (required by the standard) to gauge the health of QMS,
by measuring the degree of satisfaction customers have with your organization and its products from the
customer’s point of view. You want to find out what the customer’s evaluation is, of your performance with regard
to their requirements. In addition, customers are primarily the end users of your product, by may also include
intermediaries such as assemblers (internal or external) who integrate product into theirs, and dealers and
distributors who market and sell your product or the integrated product. You need to consider feedback from all
these customers to determine whether or not you have met their specified and perceived requirements. Likewise,
customer requirements may relate to the design, manufacture, delivery, servicing and support of product; the
quality management system (QMS); communication and financial requirements; etc. Your organization must
have controls to identify and meet these requirements to the satisfaction of your customers. The results of this
research will help to continually improve the services offered by the organization. The researcher utilized the
used the results of clientele feedback weekly summary from the feedback committee. The respondents of this
study are the walk-in clientele from January to June 2019 in the Division of Santa Rosa, City. This paper

ABSTRACT: The descriptive study was conducted to determine the level of awareness and practices of the
students as a basis for Waste Reduction Project. This project will focus on reducing, reusing, and recycling waste
material. This study was measured using the Likert scale for the level and relationship of awareness and practices
on waste management. The respondents were randomly selected according to cluster. Pearson R were used to
determine the relationship between student’s awareness and practices on waste management. Mean were used
describe the level of awareness and practices on waste management. On the level of awareness about waste
management reusing (𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥=41.50) was the highest mean compare to recycling (𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥= 41.18); and the least was
reducing (𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥=38.76). This result states that students are more aware of reusing than recycling and has a least
awareness on reducing waste. Among the respondents, the most practice was reducing (𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥= 38.64); second
was reusing (𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥=36.20) and the least was recycling (𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥= 36.02) about waste management. Significant
relationships on reducing awareness to practice was existed. No significant relationship was existed between

ABSTRACT: Portfolios have been used as a form of alternative assessment in the field of education. As time
has progressed, digital technology started to be used to facilitate learning. With this technology, portfolios have
transitioned from paper to electronic form. In basic education, e-portfolio has been increasingly used to support
learning and teaching processes. At St. Paul University Philippines, e-portfolio assessment was first piloted to
pre-service teacher education students in their courses Assessment of Student Learning and Educational
Technology, second semester, academic year 2016-2017. The students were asked to create their e-portfolio
using Weebly and develop it within a semester. This descriptive survey study was carried out to determine the
students’ attitude toward e-portfolio, to evaluate the effectiveness of e-portfolio as learning and assessment tool,
and to document students’ concerns in the processes of e-portfolio creation, development and utilization.
Findings revealed that the students have positive attitude toward e-portfolio and they viewed e-portfolio as a very
useful learning tool and considered it to be an important grade component in a course. Students manifested a
sense of achievement after completing the e-portfolio and they perceived that they improved their ICT skills as
well as their writing and critical thinking skills. However, they noted some concerns in the development of e-
portfolio such as internet access, availability of time, and insufficient guidelines pertinent to e-portfolio
development. This study proved that e-portfolio is a potential e-learning tool to support student-centered learning,
reflective learning and outcomes-based assessment.

THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS OF THE LIBRARY HUB COORDINATORS IN MANAGING THE

SCHOOL LIBRARY: BASIS FOR CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM

Gilbert G. Manaois

ABSTRACT: For the past six years of establishment and operation of the SDO Santa Rosa Library Hub, various
Supplementary Reading Materials (SRMs) were distributed and lend to public schools in the division. However,
in a public school setting, having a fulltime licensed professional librarian is one of the concern that need to be
attended when it comes to extending basic education services particularly in library section. The school head, as
practiced here in the division, designate a teacher to manage the school library. With less knowledge of library
management, the teacher in-charge of the library tend to neglect or feel burdened on the task assigned. This is
true whenever the Library Hub asked them to submit reports of the school-based library programs and activities
as well as the inventory of library collections. The need for a training to capacitate them is the basis of this
research to extend technical assistance (TA) to them in managing the school library effectively and efficiently.
The study will use descriptive method in finding solutions to the problem. A prepared questionnaire and profiling
of teachers assigned to manage the school library will be used to gather baseline information as inputs to data
analysis. Meetings with the Curriculum Implementation Division personnel, School Heads and Teachers will be
conducted to gather more feedback and information that lead to the validity of the results. The result of this entire
study will help the respondents clearly identify and understand the library collections available in the school and
the library services they can provide for the learners and other clientele. It will also determine the challenges met
by the teacher in-charge of the library of the expected tasks they were assigned. Lastly, this research will be the
basis to conduct trainings to capacitate them in managing the school library. This study is however limited to the
research locale – City Schools Division of Santa Rosa where the researcher is currently managing the Library
Hub as one of the facilities of the division under the Learning Resource Management Development Section
(LRMDS) in the Curriculum Implementation Division (CID). This action research is the first study in the division
that will raise the level of awareness of the coordinators on how they will manage the school library.

public schools of Lucena City including the factors and difficulties experienced by the School Heads in the
practice of TEA Governance. A mixed method research design (QUAN-qual) was used in this basic research
involving fifty-seven (57) school heads and two hundred eighty-five (285) teachers. Survey-questionnaire which
dealt quantitatively was employed. Interview was done to qualitatively determine the TEA governance best
practices of the school heads. Based on the results of the study, both the school heads and the teacher-
respondents agreed that majority of the principles of TEA governance were highly practiced in the school except
for recognizing and scaling-up research-enabled best practices. Both the school heads and the teachers strongly
agreed that awareness on DepEd orders, memoranda and policies helped weigh the consequences of their
actions and make appropriate decisions as the major factor of practicing TEA Governance. On the other hand,
Local School culture and practices done by the school personnel served as the main difficulty and hindrance to
better implement TEA governance. The results of the research implied that School heads of Lucena City
religiously practiced the principles of TEA Governance. But unfortunately some principles still need to be
strengthened. The results also showed that school heads need to innovate in order to come up with best practices
on TEA Governance implementation. This study showed a positive implementation of transparent, ethical and
accountable governance in every school in the Division. This research also depicts the best practices of the
school heads in the implementation of TEA Governance guided by the principles of SCOUTERS ROCK.

BREAKING THE ISSUE OF CONNECTIVITY: BLYNK LOCAL SERVER FOR IOT PROJECTS IN
SCHOOL USING RASPBERRY PI

Frederick G. Byrd, Jr. & Robert Matthew J. de Castro

ABSTRACT: We are living in a world with a great technological revolution which fundamentally alter the way we
live, work and relate to one another. With these rapid changes in society, does the school still teach the students
how to live in 4th industrial revolution where fusion of technologies that integrates physical, digital, and biological
spheres takes place? Internet of Things (IoT) is a system which interrelates computing devices, objects,
machines whether mechanical or digital, and living being (Bhagat, et al, 2019). They added that IoT components
are provided with unique identifiers and have the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-
to-human or human-to-computer interaction. It is given, that most public schools have limited internet connection
in their perimeter. This internet connection is very important if the students want to create IoT projects in the
school. To minimize this hindrance, the school develop a local server using Raspberry Pi which can be used in
IoT projects using Blynk application for android phones and IOS. This local server can entertain more than 100
devices at the same time. We utilized design thinking model and opportunity sampling to make the study possible.
We gathered interviews and observation regarding IoT before, during and after the local server was created.
Does the IoT will work in public school using this device/server?

ENABLERS, CONSTRAINTS AND INTERVENTIONS OF IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS AND

PROJECTS IN CALABARZON UNDER THE K TO 12 PROGRAM

Job S. Zape, Jr. & Alona A. Encinares

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the enablers, constraints and interventions of the 20 Schools
Division Offices in Implementing Programs and Projects under the K to 12 Program and further evaluated
whether these programs and projects are fully aligned and strategically implemented to meet the expected
key education outcomes. The study utilized the qualitative approach employing case study method. Data were
gathered thru the survey questionnaires (interview protocol) and written reports submitted by the twenty CID
Chiefs and select education program supervisors and principals. Categorization and interpretation of data in
terms of common themes were done using the documents submitted by the respondents coming from the
twenty schools division superintendents. Results based on the respondents data indicate that implemented
PPAS in twenty schools division offices are numerous but not evenly distributed to all key stages. Some PPAs
are not aligned to the demands and expectations of the K to 12 program and are just being implemented
without any evaluation for a certain time to know its effectiveness and usefulness to the learners. Some PPAs
are curricular in nature and some are curricular support activities for enrichment, remediation and enhancement
of skills and knowledge of the learners. Most of these PPAs crafted and designed by the SDOs do not match
with the design of the PPAs of the K to 12 Program. Thus, this study further revealed that some divisional
and school PPAs are not aligned and relevant to the K to 12 program. The study provided a clear perspective
to the twenty Schools Division Offices of CALABARZON in realigning, redesigning and streamlining their
programs and projects that shall reform education through the K to 12 Program.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT: ITS IMPACT TO THE READING INTERVENTION OF

IDENTIFIED GRADE SIX PUPILS OF CROSSING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Reynalyn R. Lluvioso

ABSTRACT: There are some parents who perceive their role as parents does not involve having anything to do
with the formal education on their child. While there are some who believe that their child is doing fine in school
and further involvement on their part is not needed. Reading skills cannot be acquired and mastered overnight,
nor is taught solely by the teacher inside the classroom. Parents’ involvement is one important factor and potent
catalyst towards learning process on how to read. In line with that, this study attempted to assess the impact of
Parents involvement to the reading intervention. This will be a descriptive qualitative research which aims to
determine the impacts of parental involvement of the slow and non-readers. The design of the research will follow
three phases: the pre-design stage includes identifying the respondents of the study, preparation of research
questionnaires, and treatment of the data to be gathered. The design stage includes preparation of the action
plan for the interventions/ program and finalization of the action plan. Finally, the post- design stage will include
the implementation of the action plan and assessment of the Implemented Program. This part of the study
presents the responses to the research objective heaved in the research this implies that students with lesser
support and guidance from their parents become the low performers in reading. Lacking of time together caused
by several factors like unemployment, poverty, health issues and work-related tight schedules are common
problems encountered by pupils especially whose parents are working locally or overseas and separated.
Guidance from the parents at home contributes much in improving pupils’ reading skills. The intervention program
is deemed effective based on the results of the reading assessment inasmuch as it significantly reduced the
number non-readers and slow readers.

ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION FIDELITY OF INTERVENTION

PROGRAM FOR K TO 12 STUDENTS-AT-RISK: AN INCLUSIVE FRAMEWORK FOR THE
MANAGEMENT OF INTERVENTION

Joseph R. Carreon & Lerma V. Peňa

ABSTRACT: The research aims to determine the issues and challenges in the implementation fidelity of
intervention program for K to 12 students-at-risk of secondary schools during the school year 2017-2018. The
descriptive research design, documentary analysis, and interview were employed in which the primary gathering
instrument was developed researcher-made questionnaire validated by expert. It involved 16 school heads, 12
guidance personnel, 186 teachers, and 143 students-at-risk. Findings revealed that: (1) parents’ active
participation and exposure of students in the primary interventions is very essential towards the attainment of
program goals; (2) secondary intervention promote social fairness and equal opportunity to engage students-at-
risk in proactive and constructive activities geared towards building strengths and character; and (3) commitment,
capacity building and instructional delivery are challenging pillars in the realization of the K to 12 curriculum.
Strengthening family engagement, explicit provision of training, adequate essential resources, and an
empowered multi-disciplinary team and community support to implement the framework for the management of
intervention and support program with profound fidelity play a pivotal dimension to achieve inclusive education
for all. Implementation fidelity on interventions needs to be systematically assessed because it remains the best
concern to determine the implementation of the policy as intended by policy maker towards continuous program
development and to bridge the gap.

STEP-UP VERSION 3.0: ROAD TO ADVANCED LEVEL OF SBM PRACTICES

Ma. Theresa C. Alanis & Ligaya B. Fuego

ABSTRACT: School-based Management (SBM) is a strategy to improve education by transferring significant

decision-making authority from state and district offices to individual schools. The study entitled “Step-up Version
3.0: Road to Advanced Level of SBM Practices” aimed to level up the SBM practices of Siranglupa Elementary
School and reach Level 3 (Advanced). The study utilized quantitative method (on the mean level of stakeholders’
participation) using survey questionnaire and qualitative method (on the best practices implemented) utilizing
Focus Group Discussion. The respondents were composed of 30 teachers and 30 parents. Based on the results
and findings, Siranglupa Elementary School obtained an average of 2.33 score (Level 2 Maturing) on the year-
end SBM evaluation for the past three years. The results also revealed the mean level of parents/stakeholders
participation on Leadership and Governance as sometimes (3.35); Curriculum and Instruction as often (3.55);
sometimes in Accountability and Continuous Improvement and Management of Resources (3.29; 3.30). The
themes emerged on the FGD showed the top five best practices of the school as follows: assign core team for
each principle; utilize and tap parents to perform their duties and responsibilities in SBM; strengthen partnership
through Adopt-a-School Program (ASP); fortify documentation team; conduct regular assessment of SBM
practices and level of implementation; provide support system (technical and financial). The findings also showed
that the school’s level of SBM improved on the year-end evaluation of the district and division evaluation wherein
it obtained an average score of 2.578 (Level 3 Advanced). Recommendations of the study suggest that best
practices of the school in SBM must be sustained; involvement of external and internal stakeholders must be
strengthened; improve SBM corner/room; systematic documentation and filing of documents must be monitored;
tie-up with local officials, NGO’s and LGu’s must be streamlined; and capacity building in school level must be
observed for effective implementation of SBM policies and programs such as in‐service training, regular
professional development sessions and workshops on effective school leadership and management, as well as
school development planning.

Dionisio B. Chavez, Jr., PhD, EdD

ABSTRACT: Education is challenged to be responsive to the current demands of quality education through better
services and translation of knowledge, skills, and attitudes for learners to attain mandated learning outcomes.
Much has been studied about SBM, but no study about the status of compliance among central schools. This
study aims to assess the compliance level with the standard principles of SBM and its implication to the quality
of life among learners beyond basic education. The study utilized a mixed-quanti-quali-method design through
double triangulations of sources of data and investigators. The participants were internal and external assessors
identified through predetermined criterion. The data were collected through SBM standardized survey form with
supporting documents including focus group discussion (FGD) for the compliance with SBM standards. The
findings revealed that the two central schools are on Level 2 categorized as maturing schools with 76.7%
compliance status, where most of the standard principles of SBM are complied and implemented for continuous
improvement. Both schools are prepared for SBM level 3 accreditation. Consequently, a noteworthy implication
signifies that these schools are capable of developing structures and sustaining continuous improvement that
give direction to educational process for learners towards a functional literate citizen of the country

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION

OF THE WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Nelson B. Sepato & Dexter A. Distor

ABSTRACT: Waste management is the activity and action required to manage waste from its inception to
disposal. This includes collection, transport, and disposal with monitoring and regulation. This has been a
challenge for the authorities including schools. The low level of environmental literacy has been one of the factors.
Environmental awareness is very important. It is very crucial at this point since nature is trying to bring back the
Earth’s balance by taking back what man has claimed. Therefore, becoming aware is valid to everyone’s survival.
It was in this very reason why this problem is under study. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of
the environmental police in the implementation of the waste management program in Grade 7 students. The
research was conducted in aid of the researcher-made questionnaire checklist distributed to 185 Grade 7
students only. The data gathered were tallied, tabulated, analyzed using the weighted mean. The program
includes selected students from Grade 9 and Grade 10 who served as environmental police. The environmental
police are performing their duties during recess time only because they have their regular classes and that was
the time students were outside of their rooms and possible dropping and disposing of garbage in the
surroundings. It also adopted the modified municipal ordinance on waste management. It was noted that prior to
the implementation of the program there is a high prevalence of students caught littering or dropping their wastes
anywhere else. It can also be noted that there is a huge amount of garbage collected outside the building of
Grade 7. It was clear also from the data gathered that after the implementation phase, there was a great effect
on the behavior and attitude of the students. The huge amount of garbage was lessened and there was a
decrease on the number of students who were caught littering by the Environmental Police. Based on the result
of the study, It was found out that the program was effective and is recommended for continuous improvement
and to be implemented in all grade levels. It was also revealed in the study that students became aware of their
duties and responsibilities as good citizens. Discipline was successfully inculcated in the minds of the students.

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study is to develop the Structured Learning Episodes for School Learning
Action Cell (SLAC) in the City Division of Cabuyao intended to address the identified least observed indicators
of the Classroom Observation Tool upon the implementation of the Philippine Professional Standards for
Teachers (PPST). The researcher employed the descriptive research to identify the least observed indicators
among the nine observable indicators in the Classroom Observation Tool (COT). Respondents are purposively
identified to answer the re-encoded indicators in a Google form for online survey within two weeks and limits on
the development of SLE on critical and creative thinking skills and application of knowledge content within and
across curriculum in teaching strategies of Teachers I-III and Master Teachers I-II. The gathered results were
presented to all respondents in the presence of other significant professionals for further appreciation and
affirmation the collected information. The adaption of 4 A’s approach (Activity, Analysis, abstraction and
Application) is more empirical since the recipient of the material are teachers themselves for continuous
professional development. The crafted Structured Learning Episode covers Domains on Diversity of Learners,
Content and Pedagogy and Assessment of Learning. A crafted monitoring tool will set parameter on the measure
of implementation and results depend on the supervision to be provided by the school heads and other observers.
This research is both inclusive and experiential.

MAPPING SBM LEVEL OF PRACTICE IN STO. TOMAS SOUTH DISTRICT: PLATFORM TO
TAILOR FIT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FRAMEWORK

Guillerma L. Bilog, EdD

ABSTRACT: To achieve the Education for All (EFA) objectives by 2015, the Department of Education is pursuing
policy reforms under the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA). Key Reform Thrust 1 (KRT1) of
BESRA is School-Based Management (SBM). SBM underscores the empowerment of key stakeholders in school
communities to enable them to actively participate in the continuous improvement of schools towards the
attainment of higher pupil/student learning outcomes. A decision as to where and into what aspect of school
management and processes a school and its stakeholders may start to build upon, as prescribed in the SBM
Scale of Practice, makes assessment imperative. Assessment is also important to determine the directions of
improvements to attain the mature level of SBM practice. For this reason, the Assessment of Level for three
years was conducted to attain the real essence of the School Based Management in the school. The research is
descriptive wherein the responses of the participants were collected through a research-made questionnaire.
Data gathered were properly tabulated, computed and interpreted. Follow-up unstructured interview was
conducted to validate responses. The researcher identified the varied schema of the participants regarding the
School Based Management Practices. The participants considered technical assistance framework as very
important scheme in enhancing the SBM Level of Practice of various in the district. The proposed Technical
Assistance Framework may be of great help in continuously assisting the school heads in terms of School Based
Management Practice. Majority of the schools are in the maturing phase of SBM level. The schools experienced
various challenges and difficulties such as confusion about the implementation of school programs and projects,
ineffective learning approaches, lack of learning materials, confusion about new roles and responsibilities of
GPTA officers, an increased need for classroom due to the increasing population of the learners, lack of
stakeholders participation in the implementation of school programs and projects and inappropriate assessment
tools for teaching and learning. The research is limited to the platform to tailor fit technical assistance framework
implementation scheme at Sto. Tomas District South. The study will be of great help to Public Schools District
Supervisors who augmented to enhance their implementation of TA to build capacity of school heads in managing
the schools thru adhering the principles of the school based management practice. This is an overture to the
development of scheme in assisting schools meet the advancing level of SBM practice.

ABSTRACT: This study used a mixed method design in analyzing and interpreting the data using survey
questionnaires and Key Informant Interview. The study used a stratified random sampling technique in selecting
the respondents. Findings showed that schools in Alabel District, the status of implementation of Water,
Sanitation and Hygiene learners often perceived that (a) water supply was always available in their school
(�̅ =4.13); (b) water is often safe to drink (�̅ =3.51); (c) Toilet Facilities are often available (�̅ =3.67); (d) Solid
Waste Management were always practiced (�̅ =4.24); and (e) Personal Hygiene and Sanitation is often practiced
(�̅ =4.02). On the other hand, learners perceived that hygiene education were sometimes practiced in school
(�̅ =3.14). Moreover, the teachers often perceived that (a) water supply in school are always available (�̅ =4.00);
Quality and Safety of water is often safe to drink (�̅ =3.49); Toilet Facilities are often available (�̅ =3.70); Solid
Waste Management are often practiced (�̅ =4.14); and Personal Hygiene and Sanitation are often practiced
(�̅ =4.00). On the other hand, learners perceived that hygiene education were sometimes practiced in school
(�̅ =3.23). Teachers and School Heads agreed that they have experienced challenges in sustaining the program
(1) LGU is less likely to support the WASH Program in school (�̅ =3.64) and DepEd not regularly monitoring the
WASH Program implementation (�̅ =3.49); (2) School experience difficulty on finances as the school has
inadequate budget for the maintenance of WASH facilities (�̅ =3.70), not on-time release of school’s MOOE
(�̅ =4.43) and PTA has no collections (�̅ =4.65) and stakeholders are not giving financial support on WASH
implementation (�̅ =3.90); (3) Schools geographic location is also a challenge as it is affected by drought or flood
(�̅ =4.70), by extreme climatic events (�̅ =3.43) , near the companies excreting harmful chemical waste (�̅ =3.47)
and not complying with the National Standard on Clean Water Act as they are not subjecting to regular water
testing (�̅ =4.18). Moreover, the study shows that there is no significant difference in the implementation of WASH
Program between Central and Non-Central Schools. However, the Challenges Encountered by the Schools
significantly influenced the level of implementation of the WASH Program.

EXIT PROFILING OF STO. TOMAS INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, SCHOOL YEAR
2018-2019: BASIS FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS’ SUPPORT PROGRAM

James Alvin P. Mirador, MAEd, Randy T. Orense, MEM, & Vanessa Valenova–Balasoto

ABSTRACT: Trabaho, Negosyo and Kolehiyo have been the career decision and curriculum exits of the K-12
Program. Stakeholders’ participation is a shared responsibility with the school in improving its facilities and
providing human resources once the needs are identified and assessed. With the school’s internal improvements
and the external stakeholders’ support, students are poised to be work-ready, business-ready and college-ready.
The exit profiling of Sto. Tomas Integrated High School students, S.Y. 2018-2019, served as basis for internal
and external stakeholders’ support program. The respondents were 408 students from Grade 9 to 12 chosen
using purposive sampling technique. The data gathering instrument was a 15-item questionnaire-checklist. The
gathered data are statistically treated using frequency and percentage, and weighted mean. The students were
generally age-appropriate for their grade level. Their monthly family income belonged to Class E. Majority of
students chose Kolehiyo as their topmost priority, followed by Trabaho, and the least wasNegosyo. Based from
the findings, it can be concluded that the students affirmed the importance of college education for it would give
them competitive edge in business and the workplace. In the light of the foregoing conclusion, it was
recommended that school could hold a job fair, intensify its TVL offering, design and conduct a speech,
personality and business training, promote its GAS offering, and provide K-12 + 6 school-to-work assistance
together with potential stakeholders.

SUSTAINABLE SCHOOL-COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS: INITIATIVES AND CHALLENGES

Nico N. Aquino

ABSTRACT: DepEd has the highest budget allocation to implement important programs. However, majority of
its budget goes to salaries of its personnel. To support DepEd programs, school-community stakeholders
partnerships have to be established, nurtured and sustained. Public schools receive support/assistance from
stakeholders. This paper aims to document existing school-community partnership practices and identify
successful initiatives and corresponding challenges. Sustainable School-Community Partnerships Protocol
(SSCPP), its output, establishes simple guide to schools to initiate, engage, and sustain partnerships. Sequential-
explanatory mixed method design was utilized in this study. First, a survey-questionnaire was given to selected
subjects (school and community-based). Second, a key informant interview was held and third, another set of
open dialogue sessions which serve as focus-group discussion were conducted in two different sets of
participants. There are two general sets of results. Motivating factors for partnerships are school image, school
climate, and school engagement, while hindering factors are (mis)communication, unclear partnership process,
and lack of recognition or appreciation. Schools are at the forefront of partnerships. They can build and break
trust of stakeholders. It is imperative to study how sustainable school-community partnerships can be built. It is
one of the primary studies that deal with how schools and stakeholders can build sustainable partnerships. The
output of this paper would generally help improve the level of awareness and engagement of schools with their
respective stakeholders.

IMPROVING CANTEEN REPORTS USING THE COMPUTERIZED CANTEEN SALES

REPORTING SYSTEM

Rona P. Peralta

ABSTRACT: Schools often adopt ICT into a program out of a perceived obligation to meet the requirements of
both academic and managerial environment. Canteen sales reporting still seems like several steps behind of this
trend. Reports of delays in the submission as well as inaccuracy of the data being reported are evident. The
researcher devised the (Computerized Canteen Sales Reporting System) CCSR that was used from October to
December 2018 by the schools within MPACSSAT cluster in Pila District. The use of CCSR was effective in
minimizing the duration of preparation with a mean of 3.96. Its accuracy was also found as very effective in
calculating reports with a mean of 3.96. With a mean of 3.76, canteen managers found that they can accomplish
the daily canteen sales faster than the conventional method. CCSR is being proposed to be used in the whole
district of Pila and throughout the SDO Laguna.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL OPERATIONS IN THE PUBLIC ELEMENTARY

SCHOOLS IN MATAASNAKAHOY DISTRICT: BASIS FOR AN IMPROVED IMPLEMENTATION

Elenita D. Dimayuga, PHd

ABSTRACT: This study aims to assess the strategic management of school operations in the public elementary
schools in Mataasnakahoy District, as basis for an improved program implementation. The descriptive method
was used. The respondents of this study include 12 school heads and 137 teachers of the public elementary
schools in Mataasnakahoy District. All school heads of the respondent schools were included, while purposive
sampling was used to determine the number of teacher-respondents. It can conclude that the school heads’
application of management competencies is extensive in the areas of strategic planning, human resource
management and management of conflict, but less extensive in the area of professional growth. The school
heads’ application of management competencies in the various areas of school operations tend to improve school
performance towards more effective organizational development. There is a strong linkage between application
of management competencies and school performance. For recommendations, to improve further the school
heads’ management competencies and enable them to cope more effectively with varied educational changes
and innovations, they are advised to attend trainings/seminars. The designed action plan aimed at further
enhancing school heads’ management competencies towards more effective organizational development.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the time utilized by the teachers in preparing their School Form 2 (SF2)
and its significant difference before and after “Electronic SF2” was given. An experimental research was
conducted to fifty nine (59) Junior High School teachers of Bukidnon National High School. Stratified random
sampling was used during the sampling procedure. Teachers were given a questionnaire asking them the time
they have spent in preparing their SF2 before and after “Electronic SF2” was given. The data were analyzed
using descriptive statistics and paired t-test. It was found out that after the program was given to the advisers the
time they have spent in preparing their SF2 is lesser than before the program was given. And this difference was
found out to be statistically significant. This study focuses only on the teachers in our school who have utilizes
the program and it only includes SF2. “Electronic SF2” is an excel program personally innovated by the
researcher. It helps the teacher to save time in preparing their report. And this study is heuristic because this is
just one of many reports of teachers needs to be given a computer program.

21ST CENTURY TEACHERS UNDER THE LENS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON THE

STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES ON THE QUALITIES OF A GOOD TEACHER

Ruskin John Desingano & Esterlita M. Dolatre

ABSTRACT: This study attempts to provide a different lens or view on teachers’ continuous development based
on; (a) the teacher qualities which students seek from an effective teacher and (b) teachers’ perspectives on their
working situations which may affect their personal qualities and their teaching practices The researcher-made
survey was administered to a total of 355 students of the four public secondary schools in Amadeo which were
randomly selected using the stratified sampling. A total of 111 teachers in Amadeo assessed their working
conditions using the self-assessment tool. The responses were quantitatively analyzed through frequency
distribution. For the qualitative analysis of open-ended questions, content analysis was carried out by the
researchers who are language educators. Notably, the student-respondents strongly agreed that a good teacher;
(a) treats students fairly (76.9 %), (b) understands students’ feelings (75.9 %) , (c) communicates clearly (74%)
, (d) listens to students (72.3%) , (e) makes students involved in learning (71.5%) , and (f) maintains trust and
respects to students (71.4 %). The working condition that negatively affects teachers’ qualities based on the 45%
who responded is the situation where they needed to accomplish teaching tasks in short duration of time. Since,
this study is exploratory in nature; it only covered the perceptions of students on the qualities of teachers which
are adapted from James Stronge (2018, 2011). The instrument to be used in describing teachers’ working
situations is a self-assessment tool purposively constructed by the researchers and adapted from the study of
Kennedy (2010). Students’ perspectives were given significance on this study to provide a leeway to academic
institutions in evaluating and training teachers to improve their teaching and teacher quality.

FINANCIAL LITERACY SKILLS, PRESSURE AND EFFICACY OF TEACHERS IN TALON

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Mariel R. Aterrado and Esterlita M. Dolarte

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to determine the level of the financial pressure, financial literacy skills,
and teacher efficacy of the teachers for them to have awareness on how their financial literacy skills and pressure
affect their teaching efficacy. Descriptive-correlation type of research was used in the study. The total population
of 22 teachers was used to participate in the study. The data from the survey questionnaire were analyzed using
mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, Mann-Whitney U-statistics, Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA
using 0.05 level of significance, and spearman rank. The findings revealed that teachers have a low level of
financial pressure, an average level of financial literacy skills and high level of teacher efficacy. In view of this,
their efficacy as a teacher is not really affected with the level of their financial literacy skills as well as their
financial pressure. This research showed that whatever background a teacher has, he/she has the responsibility
to acquire and enhance the level of their financial literacy skills to refrain themselves from the financial pressure
which inhibits their effectiveness as a teacher. This paper may provide the Department of Education an
awareness of the actual status of the teachers which will help them on providing appropriate and substantial
trainings and seminars for the teachers whether for their teaching profession or for their well-being.

SCHOOL: A NARRATIVE ANALYSIS

Lorna M. Ochoa, Principal IV, BNHS

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study is to identify the leadership styles that are effective in enhancing
teacher’s performance as perceived by select teachers in Batangas National High School. Descriptive method
was utilized in this study. This research will be conducted using unstructured interviews. These interviews were
transcribed and analysed using narrative analysis. Qualitative approach was incorporated in the study with
information gained from interview, narrative analysis and through open-ended. Thus, the approach was preferred
on the ground that the influences of school leadership styles were better perceived from the opinion survey of
school teaching staff. The analysed transcriptions of the interviews show that majority of the department heads
practice Laissez-faire leadership style where they delegate the responsibility to the teachers and let them work
on their own with minimum or no interference. On the other hand, most of the teachers wanted to have a leader
that employs strategic leadership style. The study will focus on the leadership styles of the school heads and
how it affects teachers’ performance. This study will limit the scope to the existing leadership management style
of the school head. The subjects of this study include 10 selected teachers under supervision of the different
department heads in Batangas National High School. The success of learning depends primarily on teachers’
performance. The more effective and efficient they are, the more learning is imparted to students. School
leadership plays a vital role in teaching performances and it is necessary that leadership styles suited for the
teachers must be identified.

LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT IN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AMONG GRADE 10 STUDENTS

OF SOUTHVILLE 1 INTEGRATED NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Hilda Garcia

ABSTRACT: Solid Waste Management is a good way and practice to help reduce and eliminate adverse impacts
of waste materials in the environment. It is important to systematically manage waste disposal to ensure the
environmental safety in developing the nation and discipline in our daily life to avoid the adverse effects of wastes
to human health and natural environment. The researcher conducted this study using descriptive research design
to widen awareness of the students in Grade 10. The 263 respondents were selected among four sections of
Grade 10 students out of 770 students in Southville 1 Integrated National High School using stratified random
sampling. The results reveal that most of the respondents are aware of solid waste management in terms of
segregation, recycling and disposal and are often involved in solid waste management in terms of recycling and
disposal. These results imply that though students are aware of the importance of solid waste management, they
are not immensely involved in it. The results show that the school should implement a program that would
motivate the students to be more involved in solid waste management. The administration should also be more
proactive in implementing a proper waste disposal policy.

and effective in providing quality services as perceived by the respondents. Likewise, the canteen manager highly
practiced income liquidation process in a regular and transparent manner. Furthermore, it was found out that
canteen management practices will be more efficient and effective if the canteen manager would continuously
uphold a virtue of striving hard to provide best services possible. However, study suggests that when it comes to
canteen operational practices, the school canteen needs to continuously develop an implementation plan to
achieve policy goals; conduct benchmarking to other schools to adapt their best practices on canteen operations;
and prepare daily cost sheet for a more transparent and accountable canteen management.

THE SCHOOL AND ITS SOCIAL LINKS: A CASE OF LECHERIA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Jonathan S. Villanueva

ABSTRACT: Lecheria National High School (LNHS) has been implementing School-Based Management
focusing on strong community partnerships and linkages primarily aimed at improving students’ academic
performance. Using qualitative dimension of research, this paper explored the social links of LNHS through the
participation of the main community partners., who responded through semi-structured interviews and focus
group discussions. Likewise, actual field visit and data gathering were conducted and answers and input of the
focal persons and respondents were analyzed using thematic descriptions. Results revealed that recognizing the
central role that the school plays in society, particularly in the development of children, organizations/ institutions
takes an active part in augmenting the limited resources to improve the quality of education and service delivery.
However, despite of the massive effort of the school in fostering community partnerships and linkages to its
stakeholders, results show that signing of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) must be done in order to strengthen
partnerships; the school should take into account partnership factors, such as environment, process and
structure, and communication for better outcomes of partnerships; continue to look for more potential partners
that share an alignment with its mission, vision, or objectives; and conduct additional researches which should
produce tools with dual-use benefits.

PERFORMANCE-BASED BONUS ON THE EFFICACY OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS

Ruffa V. Suelto, MPAf

ABSTRACT: Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) was introduced by Former President Benigno S. Aquino III in
2012 to reward and to encourage excellent performance to all government agencies. This study aims to establish
the perceived effectiveness of PBB in improving the teaching efficacy of teachers in Public National High School.
The study used descriptive research design such as statistical analysis of data using frequencies, means and
percentages. Comparative analysis was used before and during the implementation of PBB. The teacher
respondents were chosen through a purposive sampling technique. Efficacy was measured using two types of
structured questionnaires namely teacher self-evaluation and school head’s evaluation; and the RPMS Tool.
Another set of survey-questionnaire was also used in identifying and analysing the problems encountered by
teachers regarding its implementation. Findings revealed that teachers perceived teaching efficacy decreased
after the program implementation which is attributed to the problems encountered by teacher during its
implementation. The PBB helps only in terms of financial needs of teachers but not in improving their teaching
efficacy. It is recommended that PBB should be continued. However, the criteria should be revisited without
compromising the quality of education. Likewise, reduce the stress and work loads of teachers.

TO SIP HANDBOOK FOR TEACHERS

Dr. Marian B. Diaz & Dr. Ma. Helen G. Magnaye

ABSTRACT: The research aimed to determine the participation of internal stakeholders in the implementation of
school improvement plan (SIP) to improve the performance of schools in the City Schools Divisions in Laguna.
This study employed the descriptive research method. It used the multi-stage stratified random sampling in the
selection of respondents. A survey questionnaire was used in data gathering. Study show that the participation
of internal stakeholders in the implementation of SIP is significant to public schools’ performance. The level of
participation of internal stakeholders in the implementation of SIP is not significantly related with the performance
of public schools. This implies that trainings among the school personnel and staff of public schools may be
conducted to increase their participation. The researchers believe that SIP handbook for teachers is useful since

Dr. Ronald Y. Ferrer RN, JD, DM, PhDC

ABSTRACT: In an organization where smorgasbord of personalities collides, conflict becomes inevitable.

Managers as a pre-requisite to knock down everyday challenges are forced to equip themselves with the ability
to address problems and resolve conflicts to keep the organization winning and smooth sailing. Problem-solving
skills and conflict management are therefore vital components in keeping the organization focused on the
direction they want to achieve. This study sought to determine the problem-solving and conflict solving styles of
the school heads in the Public Schools of the Division of Lapu-Lapu City for the year 2017-2018. The study used
the descriptive-correlational method of research. Using the Parker’s Problem-Solving Survey Questionnaire
(PSSQ), the dominant problem solving style among School Heads was the thinking styles and the conflict
management style using the Thomas and Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument was avoiding. The test of
relationship showed no significant relationship when the profile characteristics were correlated with the problem-
solving and conflict-resolution styles except for the relevant trainings attended. The result further revealed that
the problem solving styles showed significant relationship with the conflict-resolution practices. It was concluded
that School Managers solve problems in the organization through thinking style by ideally making decisions
through intellectual processes based on information and generally accepted ideas and values and does not deal
with conflict by neither pursuing their own concerns nor those of the other individual. Furthermore, the manner
how the schools heads deal and solve problems has significant impact on how they resolve conflict. Finally,
trainings attended significantly affect how they resolve conflict and fueled the need to propose a training program
for school heads as the output of the study.

COPING MECHANISM OF NON-BSED GRADUATES TOWARDS TEACHING

IN THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Eldrette Alita B. Lusanta And Jessica H. Cabaces

ABSTRACT The researchers conducted to unravel the strategies used by the Non- BSED graduates towards
teaching in the senior high school. Specifically, it aimed to identify their challenges in teaching senior high school
students and to determine the coping strategies which they used to lessen the challenges faced by them. The
study utilized the qualitative –descriptive –thematic synthesis research method. This research utilized ten (10)
Non – BSED graduates teaching at Alangilan Senior High School at present. The responses were obtained
through the researchers’ interview- guide questions which served as the main instrument. The information
gathered were thoroughly transcribed and encoded by putting phrases, text and sections of the transcript. Coding
matrix was used to classify each category of the text. Based from the study conducted, the non-BSED graduates
agreed that they encountered challenges in teaching senior high school students for they experience difficulties
in finding and applying proper teaching methods and strategies including classroom management, alignment of
subject - area per field of specialization and preparing school work like DLP and different DepEd forms. Non-
BSED graduates experienced these because they used to teach mature students in college, they did not learned
from undergrad subjects and lack of knowledge or experience in profesional teaching. To cope with these
challenges, they asked guidance and help from co-teachers and department heads , through attendance to
different trainings and seminars, continuous learning by pursuing masteral degree and by adapting to
change.Having a positive attitude towards teaching, profound sense of commitment on the different tasks
assigned to each and everyone, passion to teach the senior high school learners to the utmost, exhibiting strong

Marinel G. Andres, Bernard Bryan M. Ladera, Gilbert Y. Bernas

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the online enrolment system of Cainta Senior High School utilizing
mixed research methods. Using Slovin’s formula, researchers randomly chose 258 grade 12 participants who
answered survey questionnaire to determine the time spent in using online enrollment system compared to
traditional system. Researchers also conducted focus group discussion among ten students to determine the
problems encountered using the online enrolment system. Results of the study revealed that the average time
spent on enrollment process significantly decreased from 158.22 minutes to 48 minutes using online enrollment
system. Results also revealed that the students encountered problems in filling up of online forms due to lack of
knowledge on the information needed to fill out the form, unclear instruction on the interface, and poor color
contrast of the different buttons. The respondents suggested that the color contrast of the GUI should be
improved and they should include instructions on how and who should fill out the necessary information on the
online form. They also suggested that the researchers should strengthen their information dissemination about
the school new system of enrollment. The results of this study will be used to create a better school information
dissemination and enrollment system.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF LAKESIDE COMMUNITIES OF THE SEVEN LAKES OF

SAN PABLO CITY, LAGUNA
Merginio, Janine Roxane D. Pastores, John Paulo Mathew C
ABSTRACT: Solid waste management refers to the processes of collecting, separating and disposal of
unwanted waste materials. In the Philippines, decades of improper garbage handling had raised concerns among
environmentalists and the general public particularly in the various waterways and water bodies which are
abundant in the Philippines, which have caused flooding in both rural and urban areas, leading to damage to life
and property. These events have gave way to the development of solid waste practices sensitive to the locale
that are being slowly accepted by the community and are implemented by numerous local governments. This
paper presents solid waste management practices of the lakeside communities of the City of San Pablo in Laguna
of which there are seven: Sampaloc, Bunot, Yambo, Pandin, Mohicap, Calibato and Palakpakin. Five
stakeholder-respondents per lakeside community located fifty meters away from the lake easement and the 100
meters mixed use areas have been selected at random by the researchers. A qualitative questionnaire was used
in a face to face interview primarily asking the respondents about: (1) their waste management practices (i.e.
composting, segregation, incineration, site dumping, lake dumping, and garbage collection) (2) their awareness
of the different types of waste management and, (3) their perceived effectivity of the waste management initiatives
done by their local government unit.

Ma. Geraldine M. Guanzon, Antonio Salonga, Teacher IIITeresa Q. Amarille,

ABSTRACT: This study, attempted to evaluate the GarNESupp program as to its implementation, support and
sustainability. This evaluative study utilized mixed method of analysis. There were 36 teachers, 7 non-teaching
personnel and selected 257 students participated in this study. A combination of total population for teachers,
availability sampling for non-teaching personnel, and stratified random sampling for students were considered to gather
substantial data. A 30-item researcher-made questionnaire was administered in separated time and FGD was also
considered after retrieving the survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean and weighted mean
were used to analyze the data. Results revealed that students (m=2.79) and non-teaching personnel (m= 2.68) have
similar observation on implementation as to somewhat evident, support from the administration, PTA and community,
m=.35 and m=2.37 respectively describe as rarely evident, and sustainability, m=2.35 and m=2.37 also described as
rarely evident. While teaching personnel claimed implementation (m=2.99), support (m=2.59) and sustainability
(m=2.61) are somewhat evident. Group of teachers suggested to help increase the knowledge, attitude and practice
of parents toward proper nutrition and intensifies the involvement of parents and broader community in the activity. The
school should also have perimeter fence to identify the exact site for gardening that being destroyed by on-going
constructions surrounds the school. Also, there must be proper and continuous monitoring and feedback analysis.
Group of students suggested seeking for financial support for the success of the program provides sufficient area for
planting vegetables, involving all staff, teachers and students in the activity and there must be proper and regular
meeting with PTA members. While non-teaching personnel suggested to properly coordinate and disseminate the
information. The results of the study could be a great help among school administrator and staff in improving the
program to increase the level of practices of its stakeholders on proper nutrition.The study highlights the importance of
intensive support of school administration and its stakeholders to the success of any program and its sustainability.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Edmon T. Sunga, Ph. D., Anabelle D. Mutya, Cristeta R. Lambon

ABSTRACT This study was conceptualized to determine the effectiveness of school-based management in
connection to the fluctuating institutional performance in terms of access, quality and governance through linear
regression analysis. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized in this study. School management
entails the acquisition of managerial competence, and effectiveness in problem solving, administration, human
resources management, and organizational leadership (Olum, 2004). Using total enumeration, thirty (30) teacher-
respondents including the school head answered the self-made research instrument. Findings revealed that in
terms of leadership and governance, curriculum and instruction, the institutional performance in terms of access
and quality were significantly affected with a computed p-values of 0.045 and 0.048, respectively. This implies
that the independent variable has a significant relationship with the dependent variable used in this study. The
results shall be utilized as basis to enhance the school improvement plan of the respondent-school particularly
its leadership and governance, and curriculum and instruction to further improve its implemented programs,
projects and innovations to meet the needs of every learner to increase the learning outcomes and to uplift the
institutional performance. This research is heuristic which used the actual data in school performance indicators.

TRIVIAL TO MEANINGFUL: ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE STANDARDIZED

HOME VISITATION PROCESS IN THE SCHOOLS DIVISION OFFICE OF IMUS CITY

Gregorio A. Co Jr., Matea-Alvyn H. Trinidad

The standardized home visitation process of the Schools Division Office of Imus City (SDOIC)
dubbed HOME (Home Visitation to Optimize and Maximize Efficiency) was an offshoot of the
research conducted by Co et. al. (2016) which revealed that the most frequent and considered effective
early intervention strategy in reducing dropout rate was home visitation. Guidance-teachers
conceptualized the details of HOME and adopted as localized policy. The degree this process achieved
its intended objective was studied through mix method research. Qualitative approach was employed,
through focus group discussion (FGD), to gather data from the thirty- three out of 35 guidance-
teachers from public schools. This was intended to establish the extent of and obtain feedback on the
implementation of HOME. Quantitative data such as attendance, number of learners at risk of
dropping out, and dropout rates will be gathered on site validations. Initially, study revealed that
majority of the informants implemented HOME and agreed to document all related actions; the
process aided teachers in identifying learners at risk of dropping out; and commitment were ensured
to religiously implement the standardized process. It is recommended that to further establish the
extent of HOME implementation, teacher-adviser and subject teachers be included in the FGD.

ABSTRACT: The Procurement and Supply Chain Analytic System was developed to improve the budget
utilization system of the school administrators of the Masaya Integrated National High School in the school
year 2018-2019. The research was anchored on the Research and Development Theory. The researcher used
Waterfall System Development Life Cycle model as guide through iterative step-by-step process during the
system analysis and designs. The study used the ISO 25010: 2011 Software Quality Management Tool to
assess the application in terms of Functionality, Usability, Reliability, Performance efficiency and Security. The
study used different statistical tools in evaluating the results of the collected data such as weighted mean,
analysis of variance, percentage, rank and distribution and five-point Likert Scale. The findings of the study
showed that the respondents gave the Procurement and Supply Chain Analytic System a weighted mean of
4.38 which is verbally interpreted as “Highly Acceptable”. The evaluation of the application came to a
conclusion that there is no significant difference between the evaluation of the school administrator, faculty
and subject coordinator, supply personnel and custodians, and IT practitioners in terms of the criteria used
from ISO 25010: 2011 which further proves the application’s effectively. It is concluded that the Student
Performance Analytics Application based on Performance, Usability, Reliability, and Security is Highly
Acceptable to the users.

involvement of the school heads and school focal person and the significant improvement in the nutritional status
before and after the feeding program. More so, identify the best practices of the schools and the possible
measures may be proposed to improve the implementation of the School-Based Feeding Program. In the
conduct of the study, the researcher opted for the descriptive evaluative method through survey and documentary
analysis of the filled-up SBFP forms. Admittedly, descriptive study provides the means for obtaining initial data
about the interrelationships among phenomena, and types of determinants that might relatively be measured.
Descriptive method using survey considered the participation of twenty-three (23) school heads, twenty (20) focal
persons, and fifteen (15) stakeholders. Assessment was done using questionnaire-checklist, interview and
documentary analysis of records in the division. Their responses and data on end line and terminal report were
analyzed using frequency court, mean, percentage, and rank. Moreover, the observations were analyzed and
recorded using Likert scale. Computations of all statistics were done using Microsoft Excel. The findings of the
study are as follows: (a.1) the program objective singly or as a whole yielded the perfect weighted mean rating
of 4.00 or fully attained by the school heads; fully attained by school focal persons (3.75) and 3.12 or partially
attained by the parents; (a.2) management of the school-based feeding program was based on the authority,
accountability and responsibility of the City Schools Division Superintendent and operationally carried out by the
School Governance Operations of Ligao City Division headed by the Chief of the SGOD and the division focal
person. Other implementers consisted of the two (2) division nurses, school focal persons and other
stakeholders; (b) the parents were assessed to be partially involved (3.29). The school heads (4.00) fully involved
and school focal person (3.78) partially involved. Not one respondents were assessed ‘seldom’ nor ‘not at all’
involved; and (c) of the 838 pupils’/ children beneficiaries of the school-based feeding program, 386 (46.06%)
were severely wasted and 452 (53.94%) wasted before its implementation. As a result of the implementation of
the school-based feeding program, the number of severely wasted incidence went down to 19 (2.28%) and 113
(13.58%) wasted pupils or a total of 132 (15. 87%). Seven hundred (700 or 84.13%) have transformed to normal

IMPROVING THE DISTRIBUTION OF LEARNING MATERIALS IN THE SCHOOLS DIVISION OF

SANTA ROSA CITY THROUGH THE USE OF THE LEARNING RESOURCE ALLOCATION
CALCULATOR (LRAC)

Marigen N. Leosala,Renel A. Bernardino, PDO &Gilbert G. Manaois,

ABSTRACT: This study has verified the need to provide immediate intervention through the development of a
Learning Resource Allocation Calculator (LRAC) that gives the closest estimates for the distribution of learning
materials in the Division Office of Santa Rosa City. The study aimed to minimize the discrepancies in the
allocation of learning materials by deviating from the previous practice applied by the Supply Unit to a
mathematical intervention that provides just and equitable computation using individual school enrolment and
recently delivered learning materials as input for computation. The study obtained its inputs using the learning
resource inventory tool to determine school inventory which is based from the LR Situation Report Form of the
Bureau of Learning Resources and an interview schedule to determine the allocation practice done by the Supply
Unit. The study applied qualitative research to support the findings of the quantitative data gathering. 1. After
gathering data from all the schools of the City of Santa Rosa, it has been revealed that the equal distribution
previously applied by Supply Unit has resulted to discrepancies in the number of learning materials available in
the different learning areas and grade levels in schools. 2. Discrepancies in the allocation of learning materials
can be minimized using and applying the Learning Resource Allocation Calculator (LRAC), since it proportionally
computes the inputs based on the school enrolment, thus achieving equitable and fair distribution in schools.This
study is limited to determining the allocation of learning materials delivered from the school year 2018 to 2019
up to present. Intervention cannot be made to the learning materials distributed in the previous years.The study
is originally developed by the researcher to address the inconsistencies in the distribution of learning materials
in schools.

among antecedents of educational quality services with respect to school context, teachers competency and
classroom atmosphere and school improvement plan in terms of access, efficiency and quality as to students
NAT performance, students achievements, administrative performance rating and teacher performance rating of
integrated public schools in the Division of Laguna, therefore the null hypothesis is partially accepted. The
generality of findings may be limited. The study is limited by lack of resources and only for the Integrated School
in the Division of Laguna, so the researcher were not able to conclude that the same result will be given with
other school. The research proved that the quality educational services and school performance showed to thier
School Improvement Plan (SIP) the value of research heuristic.

IN DISTRICT II-E: BASIS OF ENHANCED SBM PLAN

Esteban B. Casauay

This study aimed to determine the effect of the school-based management practices in relation to the
performance of the school during school year 2018-2019 in district II-E division of Antipolo City. The research
utilized descriptive research design. The instrument was adopted from DepEd SBM competencies. Quantitative
data were collected through a survey questionnaire. Weighted Mean, Percentage, Rank and T-test were used
for the statistical treatment of data. The assessment implied that success in school performance is not dependent
on the school-based management rating; however, it showed that there is a weak relationship between the school
performance and school-based management rating which means the dimension of school-based management
could enhance to strengthen this relationship. The study is limited in finding the relationship between the school
performance and their effectiveness in the implementation of School Based Management. The researcher was
able to craft a proposed School Based Management Plan to improve school performance.

EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPETENCIES AMONG SCHOOL HEADS IN

CALABARZON: A COMPREHENSIVE CAPACITY BUILDINGPROGRAM

Lito JR I. Panya, Ph. D.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the emotional and social intelligence competencies among public
elementary school heads in CALABARZON with an endview of developing a comprehensive capacity building
program for the school year 2018-2019. Sequential explanatory mixed method or QUANqual design was used in
the study. To explain the result of the quantitative data, survey questions were utilized through google survey
and the qualitative data using unstructured interview through open-ended questions. 112 public elementary
school heads handling large schools comprising of school principals and teacher-in-charge in the schools division
provinces of CALABARZON were conveniently selected and 10 among the said respondents were purposively
selected for the qualitative part of the study. Weighted average mean, pearson r, one way anova and Billup’s
(2012) ways on analyzing qualitative data were utilized to analyze and interpret the gathered data. The study
revealed that school heads are being dominated by female and even though school heads are fresh or new in
the service they are already matured and achieved more for most of them are master’s degree graduate. The
respondents showed high regard on their emotional intelligence competencies and on their social intelligence
competencies even if the said variables have no strong relationship and there are still variables on the said
competencies that must be given focused. As a result, common problems faced by the school heads are ensuring
quality standards or services and people’s values and work ethics. The developed comprehensive capacity
building program is ready for initial try-out and validation purposes. However, it was recommended that the school
heads can apply their gained knowledge on the capacity building program on their professional and even personal
life. The DepEd officials may also initiate and spearhead the implementation of the program to all school heads
in the Philippines. To the future researchers, they can benchmarked from the result of the study and can make
another similar study using other respondents and integrating similar variables.

implementation of the said research. According to the results, students’ level of discipline has increased in terms
of awareness of the time, consciousness to the subject teacher’s lessons and self-management. However, the
students found it challenging during canteen breaks. The time allotted resulted to be too short for the respondents
to go back to their respective classrooms. Results showed that the respondents are even grateful to have this ID
pass system so that they are aware that they timed and need to go back as soon as they are done with their
concerns. This study focused only to all student entrepreneurs in Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. Senior High School during
first quarter S.Y.2019-2020. This serves as a reference for the institution to increase the level of participation of
the students in the classroom activities, decrease the poor performance of students in leaving their classes while
they are at school premises. This will also encourage teachers to keep their students become persistent in doing

IMPACT OF PROJECT LINKED SCHOOL WITH STAKEHOLDERS (LSS)

IN ENGAGING EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS IN DIFFERENT SCHOOL INITIATED ACTIVITIES
OF CONCEPCION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Lorna L. Roxas
ABSTRACT: The main goal of every school institution is to enhance academic or social dimensions of a child’s
school experience. It is important for every educator to engage parents and community members in ways that
are associated with critical outcomes and go deeper to impact school outcomes. Thinking of this lead to a
research entitled “Impact of Project Linked School with Stakeholders (LSS) in Maximizing the Participation Rate
of the External Stakeholders in Different School Initiated Activities of Concepcion Elementary School”. The study
used survey questionnaire accomplished by external stakeholders particularly parents of Concepcion ESas
respondents. This is to find the opinion of stakeholders regarding the effectiveness of Project Linked School with
Stakeholders (LSS). An interview also took place to establish the result of the project. High descriptive rating was
found in: participating actively in different activities initiated by the school especially regarding PTA conferences,
general assemblies and parents day activities; participating in school activity directed towards the reduction of
illiteracy in schools especially as visiting mentor in school reading intervention program and reading recovery
program; and helping convince civic community minded members to extend assistance to schools especially
during special activities like teacher’s month, scouting activities and others. Moderate rating for level of
stakeholders’ participation were found in: volunteering in different activities related to health and nutrition of
school children especially during school feeding programs, activities in nutrition month and the like; eagerly
engaging in meaningful volunteer work in our school community (value formation activity, sports competition) that
enhances positive interaction among youth; assisting school community in sourcing out funds for students to be
able to participate in academic and non-academic competitions; willingly took part in BrigadaEskwela by
extending some of needed resources (financial, material, labor); and answering the call of school in terms of
activities that needs stakeholders’ participation such as coming of visitors and conduct of evaluation related to
school-based management. The issue that brought out regarding this study is the ability of parents to answer
questions during interviews, another is their time. There were parents who cannot compromise because of their
schedules. These can be remedied by meeting halfway; the researcher looked for stakeholders’ convenient time
for meetings/ interviewing. “You (Stakeholders) and I (School Institution) means us”. This principle is what we
want to instill to our stakeholders. We honestly admit that we are helpless without their support. School success
is the product of efforts of learners’ parents and teachers. Camaraderie beyond differences and uniqueness is
manifested in an institution because of them.

PROPOSED USER GUIDE MANUAL
Marbin Jeramil D. Fragata
ABSTRACT: This research has the purpose of determining the status of LIS/BEIS management of DepEd
Quezon in terms of Quality, Efficiency and Timeliness. It used descriptive-comparative method of research
utilizing a questionnaire with an open-ended question for the researcher to collect the problems met by the
respondents consisting of 263 (67.1%) public elementary and 192 (32.9%) public secondary school LIS
Coordinators in the implementation of DLISCs’ Empowerment Program. Using the t-test, the result showed that
there was no significant difference in the management of LIS/BEIS when the respondents are grouped according
to curricular level which can be attributed to equal opportunities of both levels to receive same set of orientation
and instructions.Though the timeliness, efficiency and quality of the implementation is highly evident, there were
still problems existed such as issues on internet connectivity, supporting documents, system/database errors,
distance of schools, transfer of learners, pending requests and approval and trainings. The study was limited to
the use of the indicated variables and respondents. The use of the proposed user guide manual can be expected
to upgrade the management of LIS/BEIS in DepEd Quezon.

interview from stakeholders in the field, using focus group discussion was used to gather data. In an SGC, the
external stakeholders served as respondents who have harmonized perspective and experiences are crucial in
improving the lives of children, youth, families and the community. The data were collected, consolidated,
analyzed and interpreted based from the result of division-initiated assessment for FY 2018 showed that out of
368 schools,19or 5.16% has increased the level of practice from level I to II (from developing to maturing level);
out of 293 level II schools, 8or 2.73%has increased from level II to III (from maturing to advanced level; and out
of 47 level I schools, two or 4.25% has a remarkable increase from level I to III (from developing to advanced
level). From the aforesaid quantitative result, the researcher then utilized thematic analysis. The results of the
study revealed the following themes: (1) School heads who have encouraged community stakeholders organized
the group, followed the election process and installation procedures, and produced a functional SGC. (2) The
SGC officers and different committees involved in school activities have worked hand and hand to plan out the
three- year cycle School Improvement Plan. (3) The school heads embodied SGCs to direct school improvement.
(4) Through SGC, resources were managed and controlled at the school level. The study is limited to the dynamic
community stakeholders in SGC and the level of performance of schools in the Division of Laguna. Out of 20
districts, only nine districts were used as research locale where respondents are purposively drawn to discuss
the themes using focus group discussion; select school heads from only four districts were interviewed to produce
the research report. This study was conducted for six months. The inactive participation of SGC prompted her
attention to revitalize it. SGC has vital role in planning out programs/projects/activities (PPAs) and how to
implement it.

assessed experimental research design in both English and Filipino reading skills. The result shows that the 60
purposively sampled pupils as participants developed their reading ability from being non-reader to frustration
level most of them were able to achieve instructional to independent levels. Based on the paired t-test for single
group respondents, there is a significant difference in the Mean Percentage Scores between the Pre- and Post-
Reading Assessments with a p- value of 0.05. Hence, it can be noted that UST-NSTP Literacy Program can
improve the reading ability of the pupils in English and Filipino and lessen the cases of non-readers. This study
used, and is limited with the 60 purposively sampled pupils from Grades 1 to 4 of Guerilla Elementary School,
Sto. Angel District, Division of San Pablo City,Laguna. This research intends to provide varied educational
activities to learners who are identified as struggling readers in English and Filipino, a series of tutorial was
conducted at the said school for 8 consecutive Sundays from 9:00am to 12:00nn.

THE ATTRIBUTION OF PRINCIPALS’ ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS AND LEADERSHIP STYLES

TO THE TEACHERS’ PERFORMANCE IN PRIVATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN LIPA CITY

Ronalyn M. Malabuyoc

ABSTRACT: The study discussed the relationship of teachers’ performance to the administrative skills and
leadership styles of the principals. The descriptive evaluative method was used. Weighted Mean and Simple
Linear Regression Analysis were used as statistical tools. Principals who were good in planning, relational,
management and decision-making skills were found to be significant predictors of teachers’ performance while
the principals’ communication skills were found not significant. Democratic, transactional and transformational
leadership styles were significant predictors of teachers’ performance while autocratic and laissez-faire
leadership styles did not significantly influence the dependent variable scores. Research was limited to the
administrative skills of principal such as planning, communication, relational, management and decision making
and leadership styles such as autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, transactional and transformational and its
relationship to the performance of 417 teachers for the school year 2016-2017 from 30 private elementary schools
in Lipa City. The study takes heuristic approach that provides the significance and effectiveness of administrative
skills and leadership styles of school principals to the performance of the teachers.

EXPLORING THE CAUSES OF DROPPING OUT OF LEARNERS: BASIS FOR INTERVENTION

PROGRAMS

Adolfo C. Ibayan

ABSTRACT: The dropouts in DepEd Santa Rosa have sudden increased in the School Year SY 2017 and SY
2018. The increased is close to 200 learners, this is significant number that needs further validation and without
apt and solid intervention programs this would probably escalate in the following school years. The unexplained
phenomena caught the interest of the researcher to undergo this study. The researcher would to know the
compelling reasons why the learners are dropping-out in the program. The researcher would like to use
descriptive research design. The goal of descriptive research is to describe a phenomenon and its characteristics.
This research is more concerned with what rather than how or why something has happened. Therefore,
observation and survey tools are often used to gather data (Gall, Gall, & Borg, 2007). This study is limited only
to Department of Education, Schools Division of Santa Rosa City. The target respondents are the focal persons
of 28 schools (18 Elem, 7 Integrated HS, 2 JHS, 1 Stand Alone SHS) of Department of Education Division of
Santa Rosa. This action research will develop through the years of observations and personal exposures of the
researcher to the dropout data. The researcher exposure to dropout data made him interested to know why it is
happening and how it would resolve.

AN EVALUATION OF WORK IMMERSION PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION IN LUCENA CITY

NATIONAL HIGH SY 2018-2019: ACTION PLAN
Dennis E. Ibarrola
ABSTRACT: Work immersion is a program that exposed the students to and become acquainted with work
related environment related to their field of specialization to develop their competence. This study aimed to
evaluate the work immersion program implementation of Lucena City National High School SY 2018-2019 with
an end view of proposing an action plan. It subjected the 7 work immersion teachers, 39 partners and 275 grade
12 students who were chosen purposively as the respondents of the study. Descriptive - Survey and Focused
Group Discussion (FGD) research designs was used. The statistical measurements used in this study were
weighted mean and percentage. As revealed by the findings, the students strongly agree to the preparation made
by the school before the conduct of the program and its relevance. But, they just agree to the work immersion
environment, delivery of the program and overall implementation of the program. The partners strongly agree
that they clearly understand the work immersion, school and industry has a good coordination, MOA agreement
was followed and they have proper orientation with the parents and partners. They agreed that students can
adapt easily to the work environment, can contribute to the productivity of their company and work immersion
should not be limited only on 80hrs. And lastly, 97% or 38 of them are still willing to accept students on their
company. With regards to the perception of the teachers to the strengths of the, they believe that work immersion
exposes the students to the real work settings and helps them to develop their skills, personality and attitude in
the field of work.The work immersion also provides our learners with the opportunities to become familiar with
the work place, employment simulation and apply their competencies in areas of specialization in authentic work
environments. Some of the issues and challenges met were absenteeism, tardiness and lack computer literacy
skills of the students, long process of MOA approval, lack of orientation of partners, inconsistency of monitoring
to the students due to the distance and other tasks of the teacher and supervision and monitoring schedules.
However, for a more successful implementation of the program the school may conduct inspection of the work
immersion venues to ensure the safety and conduciveness and employ consistent monitoring of the delivery and
over all implementation of the program. In addition, the school may plan for the delivery model of the work
immersion extending the number of hours up to 320 hours for more actual working experiences of the students.
Lastly, the school may plan ahead of time for the MOA signing, conduct orientation and training for the
enhancement of the students’ skills, create a monitoring team, and find resources on how to support the program.
The proposed action plan may be adopted by other school and initially implement it in their institution.

IMPROVING THE SCHOOL-BASED MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH PROJECT

REVAMP

Ryan L. Race

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to improve the School-Based Management Implementation through Project
ReVAMP (Rectifying the Validation and Mentoring Process on School-Based Management). Mixed methods
research design was used. It involved school heads and the division SBM validation team members. Needs were
taken through online survey. An analysis of the validation process was conducted. A standard assessment tool
with suggested Means of Verification (MOVs) was developed. SBM levels before and after the implementation
of Project ReVAMP, were compared. It was revealed that schools need regular (not one time) technical
assistance from division personnel, and be provided with clear guidelines regarding the MOVs for the indicators.
It was also revealed that the division was not following the standard validation process. Through Project
ReVAMP, process was rectified, and SBM technical assistance became a regular monitoring agendum. 67% of
the schools leveled-up. Performance indicators (Enrollment, Drop-out/Completion/Cohort Survival rates, and
QAR MPS) were not controlled by the study. This study standardized and rectified the SBM implementation in
the division.

INCREASED STUDENTS’ PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES THROUGH HARMONIZED

PROCESS FLOW

NezsiA. Garcia, Reniel L. Fabella, & Susan Abuel

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to encourage students to participate in school activities through harmonized
process flow. This study utilized quantitative research to create a harmonized process flow that will encourage
students to actively participate in school activities. Cluster Random Sampling was employed to identify Grade 10
students enrolled in the current school year 2019-2020 as respondents of the study. Data from the questionnaire
were tailed and analyzed using Weighted Average Mean. This study revealed that students strongly agreed on
the idea that they does not know about an ongoing activity in the school and they are not informed by their class
adviser about events in the school with a weighted average mean of 3.93 and 3.90 respectively. While, they are
also willing to attend and participate in school activities and willing to learn insights from various school events
with a weighted average mean of 3.88 and 3.93. Based on the result of the survey, a harmonized process work
flow was crafted, implemented and measured its effect on the students’ participation to school activities. The
harmonized process work flow increases students’ participation in various school activities. Researchers are
determined to continuously improve the process by seeking feedback from relevant people. The harmonized
process work flow will maximize students’ involvement in school activities. It can also be benchmarked by other
schools having the same situation.

IMPROVING THE SCHOOL MOOE UTILIZATION AND LIQUIDATION PERFORMANCE

OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN SDO LUCENA CITY

Rhea A. Gallano-Mojica

ABSTRACT: This basic research aimed to help improve the school MOOE utilization and liquidation performance
of the Elementary Schools in the Division. School MOOE utilization and liquidation data from FY 2015-2017 were
analyzed through ratio analysis. Level of agreement of Elementary School Heads based on the answered
questionnaire was analyzed through the aid of Weighted Average Mean. Responses on the interview conducted
were categorized to facilitate analysis. Elementary Schools in SDO Lucena City did not reach the hundred percent
school MOOE utilization from FY 2015-2017. There were late liquidation reports submitted for the said years.
All Elementary School Heads strongly agreed on the awareness and orientation, involvement, monitoring and
technical assistance questions, while majority agreed on the designation of a teacher who prepares liquidation
report. Increasing the allocation in utility bills and trainings, proper planning and budgeting, time management,
and immediate preparation of liquidation reports were the top possible solutions mentioned by the respondents
to overcome the problems they usually encounter. They believed that SDO could help them primarily through
giving regular update on the schools’ remaining budget/allotment, conducting finance seminars/trainings,
continuing best practices on monitoring and rendering technical assistance, and constantly reminding them on
the due date of liquidation reports. Only the responses of Elementary School Heads for SY 2017-2018 were
covered by the research. Research results imply the need for joint support and cooperation of the School Heads,
teachers, and SDO to achieve efficient and effective management of financial resources. This research values
fiscal responsibility and promotes Transparent, Ethical and Accountable (TEA) governance. With the improved
financial performance, higher PBB ranking and fully implemented programs/activities/projects could also be
attained.

Rona R. Alberto, Joseph R. Carreon, Ma. Alodia B. Marges, and Donna F. Cabuco

ABSTRACT: Collaborative effort plays a pivotal role in the implementation of the School-Based Feeding Program
(SBFP) that address under-nutrition among student-beneficiaries. The study was conducted to determine the
different program and activity that helps to strengthen the School-Based Feeding Program; the nutritional status,
school attendance, and academic performance of the SBFP beneficiaries. The study employed a descriptive
method of research. The data gathered from 3 GARNESUPP coordinators, 25 parents, and 25 students. The
study used a documentary analysis and focus group discussion to support the objectives of the study. Findings
revealed that the post Body Mass Index (BMI) records of all 18 severely wasted student beneficiaries after 109
days has improved. 6 (six) of them are severely improved to wasted, while 12 (twelve) of severely wasted
improved to normal nutritional status. The classroom attendance of the beneficiaries escalated by 94.58% and
the academic performance of the SBFP beneficiaries improved from 79.31% to 80.30%. The study suggests
intensifying the implementation of the supplementary feeding and nutrition education in order achieved 100%
engagement and attendance of School-Based Feeding Program Beneficiaries, ensuring that none of them will
dropout and proactively involve parents through school-community sustainable awareness capacity building
activities about health and nutrition program. Establish an explicit plan to bolster prevention from the feeling of
discrimination particularly bullying among School-Based Program Beneficiaries through awareness-raising
during homeroom hour and parent-teacher conference. Hence, the school should establish manpower that
consistently conduct profiling and risk assessment and progress monitoring of school attendance and academic
performance of SBFP beneficiaries to further provide essential intervention such as home visitation and family
counselling.

ABSTRACT: This action research posed the digital classroom observation and its effect to teachers’ competence and
student’s level of learning engagement at Aplaya National High School. It aimed to determine the advantages of utilizing
digital classroom observations to JHS and SHS teachers and its level of teachers’ competence. It also sought to identify
the level of students’ learning engagement in utilizing digital classroom observation. Descriptive type of research using
questionnaire checklist and standardized interview questionnaires were used. It is a descriptive-quantitative research
since it would use statistical data using weighted mean in interpreting and analyzing the results of the study. All
indicators that determine the advantages in the utilization of digital classroom observation as perceived by JHS and
SHS teachers’ were verbally interpreted as Strongly Agree. The level of teachers’ competence in the utilization of digital
classroom observation fell under the Proficient level. All indicators to assess the level of students’ learning engagement
were all interpreted as Evident. This research study was only limited on the utilization of digital classroom observation
and its effect to teachers’ competence and student’s level of learning engagement at Aplaya National High School. It
was composed of 25 JHS and SHS teachers from Grade 7, 10 11 and 12 who experienced using video-recorded
classroom discussion as an approach in digital classroom observation. It would help the school instructional supervision

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

PRINCIPALS IN CALABARZON

Laiza P. Villamater

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to examine the wider context of leadership of school
administrators and its impact towards improving school management. This descriptive research employed
quantitative and qualitative approaches to examine the performance management practices of public elementary
school principals in the CALABARZON area. Survey questionnaire was used as data gathering tool for the
quantitative part while interview protocol was utilized for the qualitative study. Results showed that the public
elementary school principals in CALABARZON were perceived as outstanding in terms of instructional
supervision, development and implementation of the educational programs, research and performance
assessment, professional and personal characteristics, attendance and punctuality. As to performance
management, the elementary school principals had difficulty in instructional management and in dealing with
teachers’ indifference and attitude towards supervision of instructional management in their daily teaching. Since
administrative management is the only indicator of performance management that obtained a rating of very
satisfactory, training and retooling of the principals on administrative management should be conducted. The
study implied that the class observation was perceived as the best way to supervise instructional competence
among teachers. The research paved way to develop a manual that aims to introduce the school principals to
most of the key concepts and some of the performance management practices and approaches which they’ll be
needing in instructional leadership and supervision, pupil management, and principal’s competence profile.

AND MANAGEMENT COMPETENCIES OF THE SELECTED PUBLIC SCHOOLS:
BASIS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

Joseph R. Carreon

ABSTRACT: Administrators are driving force towards creating an engaging environment for an active teaching-
learning mechanism with a vision of fostering lifelong learners with a global perspective. This study aims to
determine the Information Communication Technology (ICT) profile capabilities and management competencies
of the selected public schools and to design a 21 st Century Development Framework. This descriptive method of
research involved 30 school administrators in the selected schools in the selected public schools. A researcher-
made questionnaire was utilized in the study. Literature analysis, frequency count and mean was used in
interpreting and analyzing the data. The findings of the study showed that the availability of electrical service
supports the entire schools were sufficient. School administrators were highly proficient in utilizing funds for
teachers training despite inadequate funding to maintain technology resources. Schools were highly capable of
utilizing available technology and other instructional media in designing activities appropriate for diverse learners.
However, school administrators were fairly capable of ICT leadership management and ICT instructional
management. Despite limited financial resources, administrators were highly capable of their ICT fiscal
management. It was recommended to integrate the framework geared towards the 21st-century management
competencies of school administrators that encompass the quality pedagogy and assessment; curriculum
support system; propagation of digital tools and technology-mediated platforms; and finance allocation for rational
internet connectivity and equitable access to technology resources in school-community that increasingly
upgrade, ensuring the sustainability of ICT capability and competence. There is a need for embracing change
that creates transformative educational landscape resulting in highly innovative, engaging instruction and
improve 21st-century competencies.

ABSTRACT: This qualitative, social research utilized plethora of written documents reflective of the concerted
efforts of leaders of sectors and agencies of the Philippine government and its foreign partners as they prepare
the Filipino citizenry in the world of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA). It explored around
the questions: 1.What vision does the Philippine government have to build its citizenry’s confidence to thrive in
the VUCA world? 2. How does the Philippine government involve its Department and Agencies, as well as its
bilateral and multilateral partners in the realization of its vision? 3. What other significant initiatives are
undertaken by Filipino leaders to support the vision? and 4. What qualities do Filipino leaders have that they also
desire to be imbibed by its citizens to survive in the VUCA world? The paper has it that the Filipino leaders
prepare its citizenry for the VUCA world through the Ambisyon 2040 that underscored the need for effective
development planning that goes beyond a single administration, a strong foundation for more inclusive growth,
a high-trust and resilient society, and a globally competitive knowledge economy. In its 2017 ODA (Official
Development Assistance) Portfolio Review Report, NEDA (National Economic Development Authority) outlined
how programs and projects aligned with the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 delivered positive
results to different sectors. Several other initiatives were highlighted that build a culture of confidence among the
Filipino citizenry: submission to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) of Departments and
Agencies in the Philippines, the implementation of K to 12 Program, and the adoption of The Sendai Framework
for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. The qualities required of global leaders to lead their organizations
through the VUCA-world include: vision and direction, multiple perspectives; culture of co-operation, collaboration
and commitment; agility and adaptability; self-awareness, excellent communication skills, passion, positivity, and
innovation, while remaining focused on the organizational goals.

DUONITY: DEVELOPING SOLIDARITY AMONG PRIVATE SCHOOLS THROUGH PROJECT UPS

Ryan L. Race

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop solidarity among the two private school associations in the division
through Project UPS (Unified Private Schools). Qualitative research design was used. It involved the two
existing private school associations in the division, namely PRISEA and SPCPSAPA, and their member
schools. Focus group discussions among the officers of the two associations, and feedbacks gathered from
member schools were coded and thematically analyzed.Conduct of Quarterly DEXECOMs, monthly meetings
with officers, and constant communication through Facebook group chats, were the strategies implemented
under Project UPS. It was revealed that there were no opportunities for the two associations to meet and
discuss matters together. Through Project UPS, they started to collaboratively plan and implement activities
(e.g. DEXECOM and ECCD Workshop). Feedbacks were positive and optimistic. It did not intend to merge the
two associations into one single association, but leave the decision to the member schools. This study is
unique since having two private school associations is not common among schools divisions. The strategies
used here may serve as model in resolving similar dilemma. This action research facilitated the implementation
of PPAs in the division, and the dissemination of information.

ASSESSMENT OF THE OPERATIONALIZATION OF THE SCHOOL GOVERNING COUNCIL

IN THE DIVISION OF SAN PABLO CITY: BASIS OF AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM
Ryan L. Race
ABSTRACT: To assess the operationalization of the School Governing Council (SGC) in the division for the
development of necessary intervention program. Exploratory research design was used. School heads answered the
online questionnaire based on the Manual on School Governing Council. Quantitative responses were analyzed using
frequencies, percentages, and median score. Responses to the open-ended questions were coded and analyzed to
determine common themes. It was revealed that 80% of the schools do not have an existing SGC, while those with
SGC have poor compliance to the guidelines contained in the manual. Moreover, availability of officers and members
for regular meetings poses the most challenging problem in the SGC operationalization; and that existing SGC
processes and structures could be improved through constant monitoring; training, and revisiting of the SGC guidelines.
Implementation of an intervention program to improve the SGC operationalization was not covered in this study. This
study provided baseline information for the development of an intervention program to improve the SGC
operationalization in the Division of San Pablo City.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE USE IN THE WORKPLACE, DISCOURSE COMPETENCE AND CLERICAL
SKILLS AMONG SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
Mary Jane H. Calandria
ABSTRACT: The study aimed at determining the English Language use in the workplace, discourse competence,
and clerical skills among Senior High School Graduates of Aplaya National High School. This study utilized the
descriptive-correlational research design which provides the most effective tool for determining the condition of
relationship that exist (Bermudo et al., 2010). The study employed the said method using survey technique. Based on
the data gathered and the results obtained, it revealed that the respondents often use the English language in the
workplace. This implies that the companies where Senior High graduates were employed have provided few
opportunities to develop their language proficiency in the workplace. The findings may also suggest that employers are
more focused in productivity rather than the English language skills of the respondents because they are not used in
using the language. The respondents had a High level of discourse competence and level of clerical skills. This means
that respondents have a high ability of to form logical connections of sentences in larger patterns for a meaningful
discourse whether written or spoken. Moreover, this infers that respondents have acquired the right clerical-related
skills needed in the workplace which helped them to feel more comfortable with technology in all its forms. The
relationship between the respondents’ frequency of English language use in the workplace and respondents’ level of
discourse competence showed Small Positive Correlation so with the relationship between the frequency of English
language use in the workplace and the level of clerical skills. Lastly, there was a High Positive Correlation between the
respondents’ level of discourse competence and respondents’ level of clerical skills. This study aimed to determine
the English language use in the workplace, discourse competence, and clerical skills among Senior High School
graduates in Aplaya National High School. The respondents were Senior High School graduates who took up
Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS), General Academic
Strand (GAS), Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Tailoring for S.Y. 2017-2018. The subject of
the study was limited to the employed Senior High graduates with a size of 40 out of 120 Senior High graduates of
Aplaya National High School. This would help the Senior High graduates to determine the importance of English
language, discourse competence, and clerical skills which were developed among them and helped them land for a
job. Also, it would help the language teachers in improving their strategies in teaching English language, discourse
competence and clerical skills. The result of the study was supported by the responses of employed Senior High
graduates through surveys and interviews. Moreover, this study helped the English coordinators of school to plan and
implement ways on developing a plan on how to optimize students’ English language use, discourse competence, and
clerical skills of the students as it plays a huge in someone’s employability. Most importantly, this helped the School
Head in the instructional monitoring and enhancement of the program in maximizing the potential of the graduates for
future employability.

Corazon A. Quintos, Edheson M. Gapad, & Rowena F. Panol

ABSTRACT: Philippines have to meet the international standard on education which gives birth to the additional
two (2) years in high school, the Senior High School (SHS). In SHS, students will take the core and specialized
subjects of the track and strand of their choice in preparation to their preferred career path in which this study
was conceptualized. This study was conducted to evaluate if the result of the National Career Assessment
Examination (NCAE) is an indicative measure to the track and strand choice of the students. Descriptive and
Correlational design was used in this study. Based on the data gathered, All the high correlations between
academic performance and the different NCAE performance as reflected in GSA, TVA and Academic Tracks of
the students are found significant at 0.05 level which reject the null hypothesis. This means that the academic
performance of the Senior High School students has strong correlation to the result of their National Career
Assessment Examination (NCAE). Likewise, the student’s career choices have significant relationship to their
General Scholastic Aptitude, Technical-Vocational Aptitude and different areas in Academic Track. It is therefore
concluded that NCAE is an indicative measure in choosing Senior High School Track.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLLEGE COURSES THROUGH CAREER GUIDANCE

PROGRAM(CGP) MODULES AND WORK IMMERSION

Michael William V. Puna III, Ed. D.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine if the conduct of Career Guidance Program (CGP) Modules
and Work Immersion are really helping Grade12 learners in choosing their right college courses. The researcher
utilized descriptive research design. Then, he randomly selected the respondents from the two(2) sections of
Grade 12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learners of Los Baṅos Senior High
School(LBSHS). A researcher also made a questionnaire and distributed to the thirty eight (38) chosen
respondents. Simple statistics like Frequency and Percentage were used to get the analysis of data. The Career
Guidance Program (CGP) Modules and Work Immersion(WI)were found to provide help in choosing the college
courses of Grade 12 STEM students. This is reflected on the significant learning of the respondents. It is also
visible in the identified help or assistance that they rendered to the respondents. In general, the courses taken
by Grade 12 STEM students are related to their Track and Strand which Academic and STEM. This is denoted
by thirty six (36) responses or equivalent to 94.74 % the total responses. Most of the courses that they intend to
take are related to Science and Mathematics. The learners are also becoming more involved in making the
decisions of what particular college course they will pursue. It is visible in the percentage of their involvement
particularly twelve (12) responses or 31.58 % for the child and twenty two (2) or 57.89 % for both child and
parents. It is also recommended that in the conduct of CGP Modules, consider having more self - assessment
activities, and more reading and oral activities like sharing of outputs. Allot enough time to execute the modules
to the SHS students. In the conduct of Work Immersion, try to make the time longer, have more exposure to
actual field works and assign the students to institutions where their interests could be enhanced. In addition,
other school programs or activities are suggested in order to augment the right career choices of SHS students
like symposia or seminars about career path and opportunities, job fair, and organize club like peer educators or
counselors club through the guidance counselors or advocates. And finally intensify the Counseling Program for
SHS students focused on career pathing.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF ANANGI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS: AN ASSESMENT

Maria C. Valenzuela
ABSTRACT: This paper aims to assess the financial management of the teachers at Anangi Elementary School,
recognize the possible linkage of the teachers’ financial status on their Health and Wellness, Emotional Stability, Mental
Capability, Socio- Economic Status that were considered as very essential factors to provide quality education for the
students and provide comprehensive measures to maintain the good financial status of some teachers and lessen or
totally solve the financial stability of some teachers. In one of the articles in Manila Bulletin dated October 21, 2017,
DepEd Sec Leonor Briones noted that based on initial findings many public school teachers tend to continue borrowing
money even if they already have loans from various lending institutions. This article cleared out the financial instability
of some teachers. The researcher chose a survey research design because it best served to answer the questions and
the purposes of the study. The target population of this action research defined to include the teachers of Anangi
Elementary School for the school year 2018-2019. The accessible population comprised of the elementary school
teachers handling multiple subjects. They have an average of 6-10 years of service in public schools specifically in the
aforementioned location. The researcher chose the simple random sample wherein the size of the population consist
of seven individuals has an equal chance to be the sample actually selected. The researcher designed a questionnaire
as one of the data collection instrument for the study. Seven teachers were given questionnaires. The questions aimed
at eliciting relevant information concerning their financial status and the possible root cause and effects of it. Questions
relating to their compensation and expenses were clearly asked. The questionnaires were administered directly to the
chosen sample for the study. Seven questionnaires given out were successfully completed and returned. During the
school year 2018-2019, Anangi Elementary School has an average of P20,000 to P30,000 compensation every month.
However, 71.43% of them only receives lower than P10,000 every month. It is indeed very alarming to have known
that the aforementioned respondents are not getting even at least 50% of their gross income. Through this study, the
researcher had found out that 6 out 7 of the respondents were spending their compensations on paying for loans which
is surprisingly equal to the expenses on daily needs. School head has a great impact on the teacher respondents. The
study is limited to 7 teachers of Anangi Elementary School for the School year 2018-2019. It is found out that there are
6 out of 7 teachers suffers from financial illiteracy thus, this implies that School Head is one of the people who create
programs for the teachers to upgrade their professional aspects. With that, she/he can think of some programs that will
enable his/her teachers to be aware of their financial status. This program which can be in a form of seminar and

financial management of the teachers and to make some measures to help teachers properly handle their finances
and free from debts .This will also serve as reflective reference for other schools financial management.

Anna Donna D. Menor, Maria Zandra B. Libranda, & Kn Michelle B. Red

ABSTRACT: The study sought to determine the level of effectiveness and efficiency of the operational strategies
and operational performance of Lucena Multi-purpose Cooperative to be used as basis for the improvement of
its business operations. This study utilized the descriptive method design and made use of a self-made
questionnaire as the main instrument in gathering information. The study involved a total population of 12 regular
employees and 72 regular members of Lucena Multi-purpose Cooperative. The statistical treatments used were
frequency count, simple percentage, weighted arithmetic mean and t-test. The operational strategies and
operational performance deployed by the cooperative and evaluated by the respondents received a rating of
“moderately effective.”The operational strategies and performance of the cooperative still meet the satisfaction
of the management as well as the members. Nonetheless, it is still the duty of every company to enhance the
services being provided by the members as well as the enhancement of the management which will be both
beneficial. Since the evaluation of the respondents on the level of effectiveness and efficiency of the operational
strategies and operational performance of the cooperative as to people; system; financial and services also
received a rating of “moderate effective and moderate efficient,” it is a clear manifestation of the satisfaction of
the management and members on the performance of the cooperative. Moreover, t-test evidently shows that the
members’ assessment is higher than those of the management. Therefore, the services, plans and programs
formulated by the cooperative are well implemented and exercised by the management and well experienced by
the members. The study was limited to the operational strategies and operational performance which includes
different phases of the cooperative as to people, system, financial and services during the past three years of its
operations. The study focuses on enhancing the weaknesses of each aspect of the cooperative, identifying the
needs of the employees and members which are significant on the development of the personal and professional
aspect, consistencies in the appraisal and implementation of the policies, and systematic strategic plans in order
to provide insight of the business. This study provides clearer direction and provides competitiveness which will
lead to the long term target, to have effective and efficient accounting systems which will provide accurate data,
and to have a regular evaluation on the needs of the members to keep the services relevant and competitive.

THE ACCEPTABILITY OF PROJECT OMG (ONLINE MONITORING OF GRADES)

Jerico D. Castillo, Dr. Geraldine M. Tabing, & Adorando R. Darvin

ABSTRACT: The main concern of the study was to evaluate the level of acceptability of Project OMG (Online
Monitoring of Grades) as perceived by the Grade 11 advisers and non-advisers in SHS in San Nicholas III,
Bacoor City for the School Year 2018 – 2019. The research design adopted by the researchers in this study is
descriptive comparative research design. Descriptive comparative quantitative analyzes the two different groups
in an attempt to draw a conclusion. Also, characterized by the manipulation of an independent variable to
measure and explain its influence on a dependent variable. The computed t-value of 5.849 is greater than the t-
critical value of 2.179. A significant difference between OMG and Microsoft Excel was noted and this led to
rejection of the null hypothesis. This implies that Project OMG (Online Monitoring of Grades) is more accurate
than the Microsoft Excel used as class record, in the sense that the system can generates the correct output in
all types of reports and it is error-free. Project OMG is more efficient because it can produce consistent and
correct result in fast response time. Furthermore, Project OMG is capable of producing backup copies of all types
of data. In terms of security, it has a security password to prevent any unauthorized access of data. It manifests
protection on its entire content and structure because the system secures important data that only administrator
account can access. The used of this innovation deals with the possibilities of using online class record to help
the teacher-advisers and teacher-non-advisers in the process of encoding, consolidating and generating data
with ease. This project focuses on managing students’ information and grades in a very efficient and flexible
manner. This study focused on the suitability, acceptability and feasibility of the developed Classroom
Management Intervention Strategy in terms of discipline environment, student interaction, learning assessment
and attitude and culture of the three Senior High Schools in the City Schools Division of Bacoor for the School
Year 2016-2017.

EFFECTS OF SCHOOL-BASED MANAGEMENT ON-LINE REPORTING SYSTEM ON

EFFICIENCY
AS PERCEIVED BY TEACHERS AND LEVEL OF PRACTICE AS ASSESSED
BY SCHOOLS DIVISION OFFICE

John Lou S. Lucenario, Leandro D. Matociños, & Fredelito B. Cabalang

ABSTRACT: Despite of government and international organizations’ efforts to implement School-based

Management (SBM) to decentralize decision-making empowering teachers, parents and communities to be
responsible of the development and learning of their children. Throughout these years of implementation still
schools are facing challenges like inefficient reporting system, lacking proper program documentations, weak
community-initiated projects, less decision-making involvement and evaluation. Hence, online reporting system
is the call of the time to address these quick changes and demands through SBM Online Management System
(SBMORS). This study utilized qualitative descriptive method by knowing the effect of SBMORS on efficiency as
perceived by teachers and its effect on SBM level of practice as assessed by School Division Office. Whereas,
SBMORS took advantage of Google Forms and Drives to facilitate the online reporting system. After three (3)
years of SBMORS implementation the researcher found that there was a positive effect on efficiency having an
average of 3.93 as teachers’ perception. Moreover, in terms of SBM level of practice it was found that there was
a positive increase of 27.51% yielding to recent rating 2.57 as measured by SDO Rizal, making the institutional
SBM category of Advanced level (Level III). Thus, SBMORS is an effective intervention to promote system
efficiency.

FOR BATANGAS CITY RESIDENTS

Jo-Rien B. Calinawan, Kristin Camille D. Dinglasan & Charlene Q. Ebreo

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to reveal the challenges to active public involvement of the Batangas City
residents with the Environmental Code Article XII or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act implementation,
to disclose their compliance on its strict implementation, and to unveil the benefits of this ordinance to the
residents. This study utilized the descriptive - thematic synthesis method to understand the perception of ten
purposely-chosen residents of the city about their experiences regarding the implementation of the ordinance.
The findings of this study revealed that the residents have difficulties in identifying and separating their garbage
based on category. Additionally, they believe that this ordinance is mostly helpful in saving the environment,
promoting awareness and disciplining the people, and as a result, most of them follow accordingly with this
ordinance. The findings of this study may impart the benefit of proper waste management to the society as they
may apply the recommended approaches of waste management practice implementation in their communities.
In addition to promoting awareness to the public, this study is also significant to the lawmakers of the city, as this
would disclose more strategies to make the E-Code Article XII more effective and complied by the public.

ASSESSING THE SCHOOL HEADS’ PROMPT COMPLIANCE IN ACCOMPLISHING SCHOOL

GOVERNANCE REPORTS TOWARD CRAFTING A DIVISION POLICY

Socorro B. Escape, Dem, Jessie James E. Kingat & Paulo B. Mangubos

ABSTRACT: As managers, school heads’ role include not only curriculum and instruction supervision, but the
overall school management. Gronn (2010) and Harris (2010) mentioned that distributed leadership is detached
from the positional authority and is based on the competencies and skills of members in the organizational chart.
Though, delegation of task is tolerable, but close and hands-on supervision is ardently required. One of the above
responsibilities of the school heads, is to submit school reports of the status of their schools to the Schools
Division Office (SDO). However, it is observed that SDO seldom gets 100% prompt compliance from the school
heads every time they are required to accomplish school governance reports. The descriptive method will be
employed in this study to determine, describe, and analyze differences of the variables of the school heads’
prompt compliance in accomplishing school governance reports. The cluster sampling procedure will be used in
determining the number of respondents. The respondents will be the 18 elementary and 10 secondary school
heads in the Schools Division of the City of Santa Rosa. The data to be gathered will be analyzed and interpreted
by the researcher. Result of which, will be the basis for the formulation of a division policy. This study is however
limited to the 18 elementary and 10 secondary school principals in the Division of Santa Rosa City and will only
cover the governance reports that they submit to the School Governance Office Division. The results of this action
research could be used by SDO Santa Rosa City toward crafting a division policy.

TRANSFER OF SCHOOL HEADS: ITS REALITIES AND IMPLICATIONS TO SCHOOL

PROGRAMS, PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES (PPAs)

Jessie James E. Kingat, Socorro B. Escape, Dem & Paulo B. Mangubos

ABSTRACT: DECS Order No. 7, s. 1999 entitled “Policies on Selection/Appointment and Transfer/Reassignment
of DECS Regional Officials” stated that the transfer/reassignment of school heads shall be done every five (5)
years or when the need arises to any school or district within the schools division. They may also be transferred
to another school when promoted to a higher school head position. It has been observed in the Schools Division
of Santa Rosa City that some existing school PPAs were either discontinued or amended by the new school
heads. Thus, the duly approved school plans were rendered moot and academic that directly affects school
performance. This research aimed to identify the realities and implications of the transfer of school heads in the
implementation of school PPAs in the school where they were transferred. Research data were obtained with
quantitative research methods through a self-made questionnaire validated by research experts. The
respondents were asked on their respective views on the existing DepEd policy on transfer, SDO practices in
implementing the transfer of school heads and the underlying factors that directly affect the implementation of
school PPAs when a new school head is assigned to the school. The mean scores from the given questionnaire
determined the realities and implications of transfer of school heads in the implementation of school PPAs. The
first part of the findings got a general weighted mean of 3.01 which clearly implies that they substantially agree
with the DepEd's policy on the transfer or movement or school heads. The second part showed that all the
indicators landed in the third scale which implies that most of the school heads agree with all the stated indicators.
This results to the general weighted mean score of 3.30 mainly because most of them consider the SDO practices
in the transfer of school heads acceptable to them. The last part of the findings showed that although some of
the indicators became disagreeable to them, the general weighted mean of 2.74 still landed in the third scale
which showed that most of them agree with most of the enumerated indicators when it comes to the implications
of school heads' transfer to the school PPAs. This study is however limited to the elementary and secondary
school principals in the Schools Division of Santa Rosa City who have been recently transferred. The result of
this research will be utilized by Schools Division of Santa Rosa City as basis for the issuance of policy guidelines
in the implementation of transfer of school heads.

ABSTRACT: Parents hold the responsibility of fostering their children to become responsible citizens of the world.
However, as a child grows up, there is a gradual change in the involvement of the parents especially in school related
activities. Tracking the extent of parental involvement is beneficial to a school because greater parental involvement
might help the school succeed in its implementation of programs and projects. This study focused on finding out the
extent of parental involvement in the students; learning experience in Tanauan School of Arts and Trade to
academically give inputs to School Strategic Planning for the coming years. The researchers made use of a validated
survey questionnaire by Grover (2016) which was translated to Waray for convenience of the respondents. The
instrument aimed to capture the demographic profile of the respondents, their perception on their level of involvement
in student’s learning experiences in school as shown in (a) Participation in School Activities, (b) Communication with
Teachers, (c) Assisting Students in going to school, (d) Constant Communication with students, and (e) Home Training.
Results show that parents often attend school activities, communicates with teachers sometimes, always assists
students in going to school, often communicates with their students with regards to school performance and that they
always provide home training opportunities to their children. Presence of significant relationships were also noted such
as the connection between parental involvement in school activities to their educational attainment (r=0.199, p-
value=0.040), their practices in communication with students to their address and educational attainment (r=-0.194, p-
value= 0.050), and their provision of home training opportunities to their educational attainment (r=0.389, p-
value=0.000), using both Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Spearman Rho Rank Correlation
Coefficient set at 0.05 level of significance. Indicators in parental involvement that needs to be improved are mainly on
communication to teachers. This study shows that parental involvement decline on communication with teachers and
internal stakeholders about certain concerns, in which the school may consider to take necessary action. Inputs on
school strategic planning include more inclusion of an active role of parents to school activities, encouragement of
more male parents’ active participation, strengthening the school’s Gender and Development advocacies, breaking the
communication barrier by considering the use of vernacular language, controlling financial responsibilities of parents
to a minimum, forging of partnerships to enable livelihood-oriented programs and projects for parents, increase
opportunities for face-to-face interactions between parents and teachers, and strengthening the connection between
home and school work.

MASSIVE PERSPECTIVE: LIVED EXPERIENCES OF OBESE AND OVERWEIGHT STUDENTS

(OOS) IN CAINTA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Gerald S. Martos, MASE

ABSTRACT: Obesity and overweight prevalence are globally increasing despite current efforts to control the
epidemic. A growing body of literature is pointing out that obese and overweight adolescents are subjected to
serious and prevalent physical, social, medical, and psychological consequences. To provide richer literature
about the lived experiences of obese and overweight students, this qualitative study was conducted. This
phenomenological study aims to explore the lived experiences of obese and overweight students (OOS) in Cainta
Senior High School. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather data from eight purposively-chosen
respondents. Collaizi’s seven-step method was then utilized to analyze the data collected from focus group
discussion (FGD). Data explicitation revealed the development of four themes which included (a) various coping
responses to manage their conditions; (b) negative assumptions on obese and overweight person; (c) obesity’s
implications to health conditions; and, (d) advocacies to combat obesity and overweightness. It may be helpful
to educate individuals involved in stigma reduction interventions such as teachers, friends, and/or family
members. Establishing a Fitness Club which will involve OOS to ensure the adequacy of physical activities in
school is imperative. For future researchers, a qualitative study must also be done on why losing weight is difficult.

ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES: A TRADE-OFF FOR MENTORING AND PROFESSIONAL

DEVELOPMENT AMONG MASTER TEACHERS OF LOS BAÑOS
Rowena F. Opulencia & Daisy R. Revilla
ABSTRACT: DepEd Position and Competency Profile described the tasks of Master Teachers as the following:
performs 30-50% teaching loads; takes charge of curriculum enrichment, teacher coaching and mentoring; professional
development, research, community linkages (professional development) and provides at least 20% assistance to
school head in program implementation. As affirmed by the study of Wilma A. Mc Clean in 2009, the given key roles
of the Master Teacher proved to be the vital factors that have academic influence. The performance of all these roles
serves as the significant contributor in cultivating and building instructional competence inside the school. This study
aims to identify administrative barriers that hinder Master Teachers in devoting their valuable time in
mentoring/coaching as well as engages teachers to embrace professional learning and development to enhance their
own teaching. A mixed method of research is employed in this study. Population of the Master Teachers of Los Baños
National High School-Batong MAlake served as respondents with an informed consent that answering the prepared
questionnaire is treated with utmost confidentiality. Responses are then analyzed by appropriate statistical measures.
Among the many tasks performed by Master Teachers, mentoring and advocating for professional development
remains in the sideline of priorities. This is true in the case of Los Baños National High School-Batong Malake as
Master Teachers are assigned to time consuming administrative tasks. As a consequence, mentoring and professional
development activities are being deprived of time and attention from the schools’ instructional leaders.

always provide home training opportunities to their children. Presence of significant relationships were also noted such
as the connection between parental involvement in school activities to their educational attainment (r=0.199, p-
value=0.040), their practices in communication with students to their address and educational attainment (r=-0.194, p-
value= 0.050), and their provision of home training opportunities to their educational attainment (r=0.389, p-
value=0.000), using both Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Spearman Rho Rank Correlation
Coefficient set at 0.05 level of significance. Indicators in parental involvement that needs to be improved are mainly on
communication to teachers. This study shows that parental involvement decline on communication with teachers and
internal stakeholders about certain concerns, in which the school may consider to take necessary action. Inputs on
school strategic planning include more inclusion of an active role of parents to school activities, encouragement of
more male parents’ active participation, strengthening the school’s Gender and Development advocacies, breaking the
communication barrier by considering the use of vernacular language, controlling financial responsibilities of parents
to a minimum, forging of partnerships to enable livelihood-oriented programs and projects for parents, increase
opportunities for face-to-face interactions between parents and teachers, and strengthening the connection between
home and school work.

BASIS FOR A PROPOSED ACTION PLAN

Shiela-Mae C. Elnar

ABSTRACT: This study aims to describe the involvement of parents in activities and programs in Balagtasin
Elementary School. Maintaining a harmonious relationship between parents and schools is a major priority of
every learning institution. Various factors may influence parents’ involvement which may also affect the progress
of the learners and the school. The results obtained serve as the basis for the plan of action which may help
intensify parent-school partnership. Using the Descriptive Analytic Method, this qualitative research involved the
conduct of semi-structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions to gather necessary data. Findings suggest
that parents involve themselves in school activities and programs through attending meetings, donations,
rendering service and information dissemination. Time availability, family status and communication are
significant factors that affect their involvement. The proposed action plan covers activities to enhance school-
parent partnership. Information gathered from this study will give more insights to administrators and educators
on how parents’ involvement in school activities and programs can greatly affect the learners and the progress
of the school, for them to be able to provide programs and activities to strengthen parent-school partnership.

AGIS: AN EFFECTIVE DATA BANKING OF STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC RECORDS

Ivy L. Jumao-as, Odessa J. Tandayag & Argie B. Ducusin

ABSTRACT: The difficulty in storing data and producing ad-hoc reports pertaining to students’ academic
accounts has led to the re-engineering of the current academic record keeping system in the public school arena
to design and develop the instrument called Automated Grading Information System (AGIS). AGIS is an effective
system that can be used to improve grade record organization of Can-ayan Integrated School (CIS). The unique
feature associated with this system includes the organize banking of grading information of the learners from
Elementary and Junior High School (JHS) Departments. This system is a desktop-based application which has
various levels of access authorizations and privileges as users manipulate the system; thus guaranteeing the
integrity and reliability of the data. The scheme affords data entry, search, update, deletion and generates
accurate reports. The system design model used in this research is Unified Modeling Language (UML).
Furthermore, Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is used as one of the research instruments which illustrates the
undertaking or relationships and cardinalities in each entity. The system utilizes Microsoft Visual Studio for client
application programming and XAMPP MySQL for its database design. Also, Crystal Reports is used for a more
comprehensible reports generation. AGIS significantly alleviates the work assignment of the school registrar and
teachers. It also lessens inaccuracy, eradicates data losses, offers high security of grade records and stretches
a chance for the learners to view their ratings anytime.

PUPILS BY TEACHERS AT PALIPARAN III SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Francis Kenneth D. Hernandez

ABSTRACT: In the pursuit of providing quality school operations, school head/principal and teachers are in one
into of smooth transaction of students’ record within and interschool process. Thus, this study investigated the
process of facilitation of SF10 recovery of transferee students of Paliparan III Senior High School. The study
used descriptive design in assessing the frequency as to how registrar as data management officer made
interschool transactions to secure and recover SF10 of transferee students. Advisers were interviewed as to the
process of securing SF10 of identified transferee students. Mean was derived to determine the strength of the
study. Moreover, result showed that a mean of 4.40 reflected that ‘follow-up by registrar’ was the fastest way in
tracking SF10 of transferees while a mean of 2.29 for ‘follow up made through Facebook by advisers’ was the
least way of securing and recovering SF10 of transferee students. This implicated that transactions/dialogues
made by Paliparan III school registrar made a strong impact of smooth and convenient way of SF10 recovery.
The implying result of the study focused only at one stand-alone senior high school that limits the generalizability
of the study results. A conduct of cluster facilitation among school registrars can be a ground of sound results.
This study envisioned to moderate the challenges faced by advisers who took charge with data security and
recovery within a school year and throughout the occupancy of an enrolled students. Benchmarking registrar-
based data tracking guidelines could lessen the burden of teachers in terms of document management. This
entitles every school registrar a comprehension data management framework.

ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO SCHOOLS’ PERFORMANCE

Mary Ann Agonos

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to determine the significant relationship of the Adopt-A-School Program in the
performance of public elementary schools. It involved 115 teachers randomly selected and six (6) school heads
from the six public elementary schools in the West District II of the Schools Division of Calamba City. The main
instrument of the study was a valid survey questionnaire. Its overall content was drawn from the provisions of RA
8525 "Adopt-A-School Act of 1998" and DepEd Order no.2, s. 2013 or “The Revised Implementing Rules and
Regulations of RA 8525. The statistical tools utilized in the analysis of data were the mean, standard deviation,
percentage, and the Spearman Rank-Order Correlation Coefficient. The study determined the different support
packages received by public elementary schools in the West District II from their private partners under Adopt-
A-School Program (ASP).The support package that manifests the highest amount is the Learning Environment
which include the infrastructure, construction of new classroom, construction of drainage and construction of CR
and pathway. These support packages were highly provided by the private partners. A significantly high
correlation was found between the learning support packages for AAS Program and school performance on
learning factor like teacher-student ratio likewise, between the health and nutrition support packages for AAS
Program and the school’s nutritional status and pupils’ performance on co-curricular activities and also between
the training and development support packages for AAS Program and school performance on learning factor like
nutritional status and pupils’ performance on co-curricular activities. Therefore, the null hypothesis was partly
upheld. The researcher recommends the need for the school heads to practice more collaborative leadership
and approaches to maintain common understanding of the roles of the school and private partners in the
implementation of Adopt-A-School Program. To promote common understanding of the legal mandates and
supporting rules and regulations (DepEd Orders, Memorandum, etc.) relative to Adopt-A-School Program, there
is a need to include these in school based LAC sessions. School to school Partnership and bench marking
scheme to increase knowledge on best practices of outstanding ASP implementer within the bounds of West II
district is significantly needed to be established.

FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNERS

Juvy M. Rabina, MA,English

ABSTRACT: This study determined the primary and secondary bases for the new framework in teaching reading
for 21st century learners and used for developing the newly crafted instructional/Supplemental materials in
teaching reading. The study employed the phenomenography method of qualitative measures. The researcher
used the purposive and snowball sampling for choosing the participants. Their shared experiences,
conceptualizations, and responses were analysed and coded. Gathering of the secondary data such as the
existing studies and literatures related to the topic were also used, analysed and connected to the primary basis.
These served as the guide in developing the new framework for teaching reading and led to the crafting of
instructional/supplemental reading materials for teaching reading. The findings of this study showed 6 primary
and secondary inputs to teaching reading. The primary and secondary inputs stated that (1) poor reading
comprehension level should be taken into account when teaching. In teaching reading (2)the pre-reading must
include the motivation and the vocabulary development, (3) the during reading requires peer reading and prompt
questions, while (4)prolonged discussions are recommended in the post-reading. (5)The instructional materials
which are used must be suitable and stories must have moral values useful in real-life situations. Then, the
consideration of (6) multiple intelligences and learning styles is seen vital in choosing the teaching strategies.
These bases were used in developing the framework for teaching reading. A module, a worksheet and a reading
prompt were crafted based on the framework.

SCHOOL CLIMATE, TEACHERS’ ATTRIBUTES AND THE ROLE OF THE PRINCIPAL

Rufina B. Samonte

ABSTRACT: As Principal II of Wawa Elementary School who took over in 2017, the researcher was besieged
with a number of concerns namely behavior problems, absenteeism and teacher attitudes. Respect for authority
and the need to revitalize the ways to realize the goals of the school were the core issues in the improvement of
the school. With 2000 plus pupils enrolled with 60 plus teachers, staff and non-teaching personnel, not to
mention the parents who had been constantly appearing and criticizing the school, the researcher decided to
implement the changes as stipulated in the School Improvement Plan. The researcher believed that the school
climate, teacher attributes and their respect for authority were factors that keep changes from being implemented.
The method used was descriptive design with thirty-three (33) respondents chosen using the fish-bowl technique.
A researcher-made questionnaire which was peer validated was the data gathering tool. Results revealed highly-
skilled educators delivering a quality education supported by research and that positive changes, based on
continuous evaluation, have been made necessary for educational growth. Positive ambience was visible and
that the school was clean and orderly. Similarly, the parents, students, teachers, administrators and community
members share responsibility for life-long learning. Furthermore, the school had been observed to be a safe
place to study because it put children first in their priority. Finally, it was found that the needs of the pupils guide
the school in decision-making. A positive school climate was identified because of the school facelift and the
attitude of the workforce who work hard and collaboratively with the school leaders namely master teachers, core
persons and the parents as represented by General Homeroom Parents Teachers Association. To reinforce this
positive school climate, the researcher proposed the “Positive Tayo, Ituloy Natin” Program.

SHS MASTER TEACHERS’ WRITING NEEDS AND ACTUAL NOTE TAKING SKILLS: BASIS
FOR CAPABILITY BUILDING IN WRITING ACTION RESEARCH

April Lontoc-Macam

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the SHS Master Teacher’s writing needs and actual note taking skills with
reference to Plagscan.com. Descriptive method was applied as research design to describe the phenomenon
which was apparent in the school context involving SHS master teachers in the district of Trece Martires City.
Two instruments were used to gather data coming from the actual research outputs of SHS master teachers and
from their answers to the questionnaires. Aside from inter-rater actual evaluation of the outputs, Plagscan, a
plagiarism checker tool, was used subjecting the introduction part of each of the action research to plagiarism
checking. To comply with ethical issues, all respondents were oriented regarding the nature of the study and an
informed consent were given to them beforehand. Data was analysed using mean, percentage and frequency
counts. Meanwhile, total enumeration was applied to fully describe the writing needs and actual note taking skills
of SHS master teachers. Results show that SHS Master teachers would like to enhance their skills in
paraphrasing, managing quotations and summarizing a journal article. They claimed that they had to have
reference in order to follow APA format 6th ed. In terms of their actual note taking skills, as reflected on their
outputs, a rating of progressing to proficient has been noted as their paraphrasing skills. Aside from that, master
teachers may struggle in managing quotations. Hence, this may result to unintentional plagiarism. This was
limited to SHS master teachers who produced a research proposal for SY 2019-2020. Results of this study may
guide the teacher in making quality and original action research. This serves as basis for designing a capability
building in action research writing intended for teachers and master teachers. Human resource department and
school heads may use these findings as reference to organizing trainings which would prevent teachers towards
unintentional plagiarism and which would allow them to produce quality research.

TOOL IN DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM

Rowena L. Acosta, Marinel A. Degoma & Sarah Jane M. Detruz

ABSTRACT: Environmental awareness may seem to be a used and abused phrase, nonetheless, it is still a
comprehensive way of evaluating the peoples’ familiarity with the current situation. This study measured the
degree of extent of environmental awareness of selected Grade 7 students of Calamba City Science High School
with a special emphasis on the current situation of the Laguna De Bay. In doing so, it made use of questionnaire
addressing the current adulterated situation of the environment. The findings exposed the level of awareness of
the students, of the thirty six (36) respondents, twenty nine (29) or 69% were not fully aware of what was
happening around them. Being in a science high school, such finding was quite alarming and needed to be
addressed. The researchers, convened and came up with different activities to intensify the students integral part
in saving the environment. Likewise, a partnership with the City Agricultural Service Department which was
mandated by the City Governemnt of Calamba to develop/implement plans and programs relative to agriculture
and aquaculture, was established. A symposium on Ecowaste Management, lectures on the current status of the
Laguna Lake, Laguna Lake Seeding were participated by selected students. Similarly, the Youth Environment
for School Organization (YES -O) spearheaded an environmental camp wherein the participants were engaged
in activities such as Zero Waste Management, Recycling, Survival Camp and Community Clean-up. Students
were also encouraged to maintain the cleanliness of their surroundings. Through these activities, the students
were able to come up with more research materials which centered on environmental reconstructions, practiced
proper waste segregation and the took part in the “No plastic Policy” implementation, to name a few. Equally, the
information on environmental awareness was extended to the nearby fisherfolks community of Calamba City in
partnership with the Fisheries Department. The multifaceted environmental shifts engulfing the planet are still a
battle to be won. The first step was taken and hopefully, the ignited flame of saving Mother Earth will continue to
burn until all hearts are warmed.

VALUES RECOVERY AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ACADEMIC PROGRAM (VARCHADA)

Moises C. Millares

ABSTRACT: Records of dropouts and violations are present in different secondary education schools in the
Philippines and San Cristobal National High School is one of them. In A.Y. 2015-2016, there was a dropout rate
of 8.42 % for females and 1.11% for males from a total of 544 enrollees, and 144 school-based incidents in child
protection reports in A.Y. 2016-2017 that started the Disciplinary Intervention Program and later on developed
as the Learner’s Academic Recovery Program. The two programs may be efficient for the mainstreaming of the
Dropout Reduction Program (DORP), but the decrease in the violation rates are not enough as the goal is to
have both zero dropouts and minimal violations for a better future for the students. Although this was achieved
by using LARP, there was a need to innovate the program to even lessen the number of incident reports. In order
to address the problem, regular students with cases from 2017-2018 and “balik-eskwela” who enrolled in the A.Y.
2018-2019 were registered in an inclusive section. They were monitored under a special program where they
had their parents or guardians meet with their adviser and subject teacher, had their attendance checked daily,
remediated through take home activities and projects, evaluated, and underwent Recreation and Community
Outreach Program and Moral Recovery Program. Results showed that this innovation titled Values Recovery
and Character Development Academic Program (VARCHADA) is effective. After the program, there were zero
dropout rates, and decreased incident report in SCIHS by 13%.

School located in Molino, Tabing-Dagat, Villa Maria, Gawaran, Georgetown, and Salinas, and including Eastern
Bacoor National High School. The school administrators practice and exhibit the various leadership styles to a
certain extent. The administrators of the public secondary schools of Bacoor, Cavite dominantly carry out their
management duties using the transformational leadership model. The leadership style that the school
administrators manifest can lead to increased morale, better teaching-learning process as well as enhanced
teaching performance and job satisfaction. The administrators and teachers have common recognition of how
school leaders manifest and practice the participative, the Laissez-Faire, the transactional, and the
transformational styles of leadership. However, they have contrasting views in regard how school leaders
demonstrate the authoritarian leadership model in school management. Transformational leadership style can
lead to higher productivity, better contributions from school community, and increased group morale which further

KULTURANG KOREANO, BAGONG MUKHA NG MGA MAG AARAL NG PSTMIS

Mariz C. Fortu, Christine Celis & Famela Jane C. Macalalad

ABSTRAK: Isang magandang paksa ang kulturang koreano sa pag aaral dahil sa napapanahon ito at sa pag
usbong ng modernong teknolohiya ay kasabay nito ang pagsikat ng K-pop na sumasalamin sa kulturang
koreano. Ang ginawang pag aaral ay gumamit ng kwalitatibong pananaliksik na may layuning unawain ang mga
katanungan ng bawat respondante na mula sa kanilang mga sariling karanasan. Gumamit din ang mga
mananaliksik ng pakikipanayam o interbyu bilang instrumento sa pananaliksik. Ito ay ang direktang pakikipag
usap sa mga respondanteng napili, na binubuo ng pitong mag aaral mula sa junior high at limang mag aaral mula
sa senior high na tumatangkilik sa K-pop. Para sa dagdag na impormasyon nagsagawa ang mga mananaliksik
ng interbyu sa pitong mag aaral na nagmula pa rin sa PSTMIS na may direktang ugnayan sa paksa. Inilahad ng
mga mananaliksik ang resulta mula sa mga nakalap na impormasyon sa isinagawang pakikipanayam at Focus
Group Discussion (FGD) na nakabatay sa sariling karanasan at pananaw ng mga respondante ukol sa paksang
K-Pop: Bagong Mukha ng Kabataang Pilipino. Halos lahat ng mga napiling respondante ay mayroong
pagkakatulad sa kanilang mga kasagutan. Ayon sa kanila nagiging inspirasyon at libangan nila ang K-pop dahil
mayroon silang malakas na dating, mas makikisig sila kaysa sa mga artistang Pilipino at nakaka-aliw ang
konsepto ng kanilang mga palabas o koreanovela at maging ang kakaibang dinamiko ng kanilang musika. Isa
ring dahilan ng labis na pagkahumaling nila ay dahil sa makabagong teknolohiya na palagi nilang ginagamit sa
panood ng K-drama, pakikinig ng korean music at pagbabasa ng mga trending sa kanila. Kung dati rati ay wala
silang pinagkakaabalahan, ngayon ay nauubos ang kanilang oras sa panonood sa mga ito. Madami ding
tagahanga ang gumagastos ng malaking halaga para lamang sa pangongolekta at pagbili ng mga merchandise,
larawan o mga poster ng kani kanilang mga iniidolo.

ASSESSMENT OF INSTRUCTIONAL SUPERVISION IN CALAYAN DISTRICTS

Nora T. Tabaldo, Phd., Shirley T. Olivas & Genevive E. Tan

ABSTRACT: This study generally aimed to assess the Instructional Supervision in Calayan Districts. Data
collected were analyzed using Frequency and Percentage, 4-point Likert scale, Independent Sample T-Test, Chi-
Square Test of Independence, Consultative Interview and Focused Group Discussion. The respondents were
Teachers and School Heads of Calayan Districts. The researchers personally retrieved the questionnaires and
considered the research ethics policies. The results showed that the perception by the school heads in the Extent
of Implementation of instructional supervision is sometimes implemented; There is a significant difference in the
perception of the two groups of respondents on the extent of implementation of instructional supervision; It shows
that the Teacher respondents have better perception than the School Head respondents; In the Relationship
between Instructional Supervision of School Heads and Profile Variables, Only length of service can affect
instructional supervision. Other profile variables have no bearing. Findings resulted to the following
recommendations: school heads and teachers should attend trainings to keep abreast with the new trends of
teaching and instructional supervision; a modular, unified DLL exemplar should be available; every school should
have a full-fledged school head to reinforce the conduct of instructional supervision; a parallel study should be
conducted in the Division to compare the extent of implementation of instructional supervision. It’s heuristic in
nature because it dealt with the evaluation of the feedbacks of teachers and school heads on how often school
heads conduct instructional supervision as their main duty to improve the quality of their performance.

THE EFFECTS OF ACTUAL CLASSROOM OBSERVATION TO TEACHING PERFORMANCE OF

TEACHERS: AN INPUT TO TEACHERS DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Melanie J. Mesa

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of actual classroom observation among teachers
in Kapalaran Elementary School. Specifically, this study aimed to identify the perception of the teachers with
respect to formal observation and informal observation and what to them is the effect of actual classroom
observation in assessing their teaching performance and competence. The researcher used a descriptive
research-qualitative approach utilizing open-ended questions as a tool in gathering the pertinent data. In a
descriptive type of research, the method involves documentary analysis and a phenomenology for open ended
questions. The respondents of the study are the twenty-seven (27) teachers of Kapalaran Elementary School.
The result revealed that on the teachers’ perception on the formal and informal observation, majority
favors on informal observation. On the other hand, as to the effect of actual teaching observation, teachers see
actual observation as an effective tool to develop the teaching skills, this can also provide teachers with feedback
and insight on how to improve their teaching. Moreover, teachers preferred to be informally observed before
doing the formal observation, formal observation pushes the teachers to perform during observations. It can be
seen that with the actual classroom observation of teachers, they can be developed holistically, be equipped with
the necessary arm to execute best their lessons every day. Preparation helps also to avoid stress and anxiety
during observation time. This research proposed a Teachers Development Program to address the findings which
will focus on how to overcome challenges during actual observation which eventually could help the teachers be
equipped with the needed skills and attitudes towards actual classroom observation, likewise administrators and
master teachers will improve on their part so that they could bring out the best in every teacher they see during
actual classroom observation. More so, they could provide the appropriate technical assistance needed by the
teachers. This research also provides an eye opener as to how teachers would like to be assessed with regards
to their performance in terms of teaching. The researcher further believes that if the teachers are working with
confidence, they can be more and provide more to their pupils when it comes to exchange of learning inside the
classroom.

JOB SATISFACTION AND WORK ADJUSTMENTAL CHALLENGES OF TEACHERS

ALONG WITH THEIR WORK PERFORMANCE

Mark G. Javillonar

ABSTRACT: The teacher, a vital element of the teaching-learning process, faces various work-related problems
such as work adjustment. Knowing their adjustmental challenges, job satisfaction and work performance are of
significance to ensure higher work satisfaction and performance. This is the very purpose of the conduct of this
quantitative research. This research employed descriptive and correlational research design and data were
collected through a survey method having 52 Senior High School teacher-respondents from four Senior High
School centers in the Municipality of Narra. The reliability of the 30-items survey questionnaire was analyzed and
the Cronbach’s alpha (α=0.899) showed that it reached the acceptable reliability. The findings imply that facilities
for recreation are not an issue on teachers’ work adjustment, on the contrary, personally- and professionally-
inclined challenges matters. Also, the level of job satisfaction among teachers is fair while their work performance
is very satisfactory. Furthermore, the results revealed that the relationship between and among teachers’ work
adjustmental challenges, job satisfaction and performance are weak and insignificant. Samples used in this study
do not equally represent all the SHS teachers in the Schools Division of Palawan, thus, use of larger or wider
representative variables is essential to accurately measure the class of determinants.

FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF TEACHERS’ RESEARCH CAPABILITY

Rey B. Aguilar

ABSTRACT: This action research, using the pretest-posttest design, gathered information necessary for the
construction of an action research handbook, assessed the research capability levels of teachers, and evaluated
the effectiveness of the action research handbook. The participants were the 35 purposively selected teachers
of Dingle Central Elementary School, Dingle Iloilo, S.Y. 2017-2018. Both adopted and validated research-made
questionnaire were used. The results revealed that the needed information for the construction of the action
research handbook based on the need analysis were research classifications, research agenda, selecting
research topic, interpretation of data and findings, formatting of research, and evaluating of research mechanics.
The participants had low to high research capability in the pre-assessment while moderate to high in the post-
assessment. Research capability in terms of data collection remained at the same level. The constructed action
research handbook according to teachers was effective however, moderately effective in terms of handbook
organization. There is a significant difference between the pre-assessment and post-assessment of the research
capability of teachers in terms of problem identification, methods and design, data analysis, and referencing while
no significant difference in terms of data collection. Revision, reproduction, and utilization of the action research
handbook will be the action needed that can help sustain the research capability of teachers.

THE PEDAGOGICAL JOURNEY OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS OF DAVAO ORIENTAL

IN PURSUIT OF GRADUATE DEGREE

Ester Jean U. Pelayo, Ed. D. & Bryan Ephraem E. Miguel

ABSTRACT: This qualitative phenomenological research main purpose is to unravel the lived experiences of
secondary school teachers of the Schools Division of Davao Oriental in pursuit of graduate degree. More
specifically, it aims to unveil their motivations and struggles in pursuing either masters or doctorate degree. This
involves 12 research participants which were chosen through purposive sampling. The said participants came
from the six (6) different municipalities of the 1st District of Davao Oriental Province: Boston, Cateel, Baganga,
Caraga, Manay, and Tarragona. Results of the data analysis employing Miles and Huberman Framework shows
that teachers’ motivation in pursuing graduate degree is divided into macro and micro levels. At the macro levels,
they are both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated. In terms of the micro level, under the intrinsic motivation,
teachers seek professional growth and sense of accomplishment. On the other hand, under the extrinsic
motivation, teachers seek greater career advancement and greater recognition. Also, teachers find it a challenge
to pursue a graduate degree. It was found out that they have problems in terms of financial cost, time
management, and academic stress. Result of this research endeavor could be a benefit for DepEd personnel
and administrators in crafting policies, seminars, trainings and workshops, and for teachers. Further studies are
warranted.

PERSPECTIVE OF TEACHERS TOWARDS PHILIPPINE PROFESSIONAL STANDARD FOR

TEACHERS: THEMES IN THE ONLINE COMMUNITY

Mary Ann B. Gatpandan

ABSTRACT: With the widespread use of internet, thoughts, sentiments and opinions of people can easily be
expressed. This qualitative study aimed to analyze the trend of posts and comments of public school teachers
about Philippines about Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) from different Facebook pages
and groups from May 2018-May 2019 only. The implementation of PPST brought greater demands on teachers
to improve the quality of works in the application of the subject content and teaching strategies, and collaboration
with others to improve teaching-learning process. PPST standardized how to measure teachers’ performance
stating what competencies are expected of them. However, during the first year of its implementation, various
reactions were expressed in the social media. While the researcher conducted a study on the experiences of
teachers on PPST, she wanted to analyze this in a broader perspective. This inspired the researcher to identify
the trend of posts and reactions of teachers towards Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form
(IPCRF) and their duties and responsibilities aligned to the new standards based on PPST which is embodied in
the DepEd Order No. 42 s. 2017. The results showed teachers reactions are divided into positive and negative
but negative posts and comments were more dominating in numbers. Teachers treat PPST as an additional
burden in their teaching works. Sentiment on salary increase was present in many public posts and comments.
However, even there are more negative posts, it were shared few times. Positive posts on PPST mostly include
the right way to do it but shares and comments on this were up to hundred times. Themes in the online community
were represented by the hashtags, “PPeSTe”, “JunkPPST”, “Readandobeyfirst” and “Changeisinevitable”.

CULTIVATING A CULTURE OF KNOWLEDGE SHARING: DEVELOPMENT OF A KNOWLEDGE

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMPOWER) AT PANTAY INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL

Lawrence B. Icasiano & Ericka O. Medalla

ABSTRACT: Central to the role of education is the creation, acquisition and use of knowledge. Despite the fact
that schools are expected places where learning occurs, most of them have overlooked the importance of
knowledge stored in accessible repositories in improving pedagogical practices. This study sought to determine
how a Knowledge Management system could support teachers in improving their classroom practices through
knowledge sharing and integration. Using the sequential mixed method approach, this study involved the 13
faculty members of Pantay Integrated High School whose responses in the focus group discussions, along with
a knowledge asset inventory, became the basis for the KM system design. Themes from the qualitative data
were used in the development of the knowledge infrastructure, dubbed as Empower, specifically the identified
best practices culled from the experiences of seasoned faculty members, inputs from junior and newly hired
teachers, and emerging pedagogical trends from educational and research organizations evaluated by master
teachers. Results showed that the KM system improves efficiency and enhances learning experiences through
accessible knowledge “assets” that contribute to well-informed teaching practices formed during knowledge-
sharing activities such as Learning Action Cell (LAC) and Professional Learning Community (PLC) sessions.

ASSESSMENT OF THE CAUSES OF TEACHERS’ ABSENTEEISM IN GINGOOG CITY

COMPREHENSIVE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL: BASIS FOR PERSONNEL DEVELOPMENT
PLAN

Mark Anthony Amarga Catiil, MPP

ABSTRACT: Quality education depends primarily on the quality of teachers that public schools have. However,
this goal cannot be realized if teachers are not always present in their respective classrooms. Teachers’
absenteeism is one of the most serious forms of corruption in education (Global Corruption Report, 2013).
Hence, this study assessed the causes of teachers’ absenteeism in public secondary schools particularly the
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School (GCCNHS). This mixed-methodology research was focused
on fifteen (15) teachers chosen using random sampling technique. Reliability-tested questionnaire, interview and
focus group discussion (FGD) were used to gather the data. Results revealed that majority of the respondents
are female, married, with MA Units, and receiving salary from 20,000-25,000 monthly. It came out that personal
factors are the causes of teachers’ absenteeism in GCCNHS particularly illnesses (80%), attending post-
graduate studies (80%), participating in CPD programs (70%), engaging in part-time jobs (70%), and attending
family affairs (60%). Further, FGD showed that illnesses and family affairs are the top two leading causes of
teachers’ absenteeism. On the other hand, demographic factors (i.e. sex, civil status) somehow contributed to
teachers’ absenteeism. As supported by FGD, a certain solo parent-teacher needs to skip from class in order to
watch over a hospitalized son. Based on the findings, school management should formulate a sustainable fitness
and wellness program in order to promote good health and minimize health-related issues among teachers and
non-teaching personnel. This research is valuable especially for the school management because the findings
will serve as the basis for personnel development planning.

QUALITY INSTRUCTION AS A MOTIVATING FACTOR IN SECONDARY EDUCATION

Alson Rae F. Luna, PhD

ABSTRACT: In any learning endeavor, the success of students is the joy of the teacher and the school
administrators. As educators, we take pride in the success of our students and always feel elated when we hear
success stories of performance or accomplishments. Contrarily, students get dissatisfied when they receive a
mediocre instruction that fails to inspire them and tends to be a waste of their time in the teaching-learning
process. Descriptive-Qualitative Research was utilized in the study. Five focus groups of students aided the data
collection for this study. More than one-third of the 375 participating SHS graduating students involved in this
study claimed that quality of instruction was the reason for their motivation in secondary education. The
implications of quality instruction for practice (i.e., andragogical competency, adequate preparation and
organization, content and currency of knowledge, technological competency, resourcefulness, and dispositional
attributes), institutional policy, and further research are also emphasized in the study to further help the school
to come up with a plan of action.

learners and school head on the effects of MP3 in the development of Professional growth and Improving
Classroom Practices of the teacher. This was a quantitative research study which used random sampling. Survey
questionnaire used was validated by the EPS. Correlation was used as statistical tool. The results showed that
both the teachers and the school head perceived MP3 as an avenue for teachers’ professional growth (4.2,4.0);
and as means of improving classroom practices(4.6,4.3). The learners Strongly Agreed that MP3 improved the
classroom practices of their Mathematics Teacher. The perception of the teachers and the school head on the
effects of MP3 in the professional growth and improvement of classroom practices of the teacher both displayed
a strong positive relationship (r=+0.73, r=+0.8). The mean perception of the teacher and the learners in the
improvement of classroom practices has a strong positive correlation(r=+0.87). The mean perception of the
school head and the learners in the improvement of classroom practices were positively correlated (r=+0.61).
This study was conducted from August-March 2019 at San Vicente NHS with seven mathematics teachers,
school head, and 254 learners as respondents. This study focused on the relationship between the perceptions
of the learners, teachers and the school head on the effects of MP3 in the professional growth and improvement
of classroom practices of teachers. This study implied that MP3 can be used as a best practice in Mathematics
which can be adopted by other teachers.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS

Charyljoy C. Navarez, Jinky Grace C. Arevalo & Gloria V. Salvacion

ABSTRACT: School-based continuing professional development activities such as Learning Action Cells (LAC)
are recognized as an avenue for attainment of teacher quality in the Philippines. In the light of the Senior High
School (SHS) implementation under the K to 12 program, classroom management remains a challenge yet
understudied. In this paper, we sought to determine the effectiveness of School Learning Action Cell in improving
the level of classroom management practice among SHS teachers as perceived by the students. A module was
developed by the researchers and was used in the conduct of the program. 32 SHS teachers were subjected to
the intervention program and their level of practice in classroom management was measured by 960 randomly
selected SHS students with whom 30 students are assigned per teacher-participant. As a result, SLAC program
was found to have positive effect in the classroom management practice of the teachers as the study shows a
significant difference on the level of practice before and after the conduct of SLAC program. Hence, it is
recommended that SLAC program be implemented in schools as a tool in improving classroom management
practices of teachers.

STABILITY AND LONGEVITY: SELF-COMPASSION AND ITS CORRELATION WITH THE

LENGTH OF SERVICE AMONG PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS

Marvin Jay I. Maming, LPT

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between self-compassion and
length of service among teachers of Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial National High School (ETTMNHS). This
descriptive-correlational study was carried out thru purposive sampling in all regular-permanent teaching staff of
ETTMNHS. The primary instrument used to determine self-compassion among the respondents is the Self-
Compassion Scale (SCS) developed by Neff (2003). The result of the self-compassion was then correlated to
the respondent’s length of service taken from the demographic survey questionnaire. Data revealed that majority
of the domains of self-compassion is still evident among the teaching faculty regardless of the length in service.
However, further analysis of the result of the SCS thru Pearson R showed that there is a weak negative
correlation between self-compassion and length of service. Resulting data implies that self-compassion
decreases as the length of service increases. The contribution of this study is deemed substantial because it can
be used as a basis for developing activities that will empower the teachers in order for them to become more
self-compassionate and thus be more effective and efficient educators.

SCHOOL

Mary Jean Camille C. Bayhon

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to examine the personal finance levels of teachers in Bukal National High School.
Financial literacy is one of the most prominent skills to upgrade learning and to create innovations in terms of
managing personal finances. Twenty-five (25) Junior High School teachers of the institution were sent a survey
to complete. The 50-item survey determined the demographic and financial profile of the teachers, and measured
the level of managing personal finances of teachers. The descriptive method of research is applied using the
responses of the teachers. Results revealed that the financial literacy level of the teachers could be said to be
inadequate as their overall composite mean is 2.93 and the knowledge on basic personal finance terminologies
is on the low side. In addition, the teachers are willing to increase their knowledge on managing personal finances
through financial literacy seminar. The proposed action plan addressed the inadequacy of financial management
skills of the teachers.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to describe the profile of microfood franchising business customers; to unleash
the customers' perception about the products and services of microfood franchising businesses and to determine
the customers' satisfaction on the products and services of microfood franchising businesses. The study used
descriptive-semantic analysis in understanding the perception of 10 customers. The researchers prepared an
interview guide which revealed that customers were slightly satisfied on the products while satisfied on the
services. The informants’ responses revealed that customers are observers and consider their fondness on the
product before consuming. Moreover, the expectation of customers was on the taste and cleanliness of products
so they suggested improving the products’ quality with affordable price and quick assistance. Furthermore, they
found microfood franchising shops convenient but unsatisfied because some were unhealthy and not advisable
on long-term consumption. Additionally, the study recommends to use more creative way of product marketing
(creating online page, combo meals and monitoring of sanitation inspectors for the product’s cleanliness), also
putting up suggestion box for customers’ feedback. This study would serve as guide and reference for
entrepreneurs in managing their business.

Effects of Green HRM Practices, Psychological Green Climate and Individual Green Values on
Employee Behavior

Delailah Rose M. Salas, Mba1

ABSTRACT: The competitive demand to keep abreast with technological advancements and strategic
commercial operations adversely affect the environment and directly touch key elements of green workplace
behavior. This study applies to the global concern on management as the issues of scarcity and inefficient use
of resources continue to directly and indirectly elevate environmental degradation. While there are studies
conducted in East and West countries, little is known in Asian countries. As such, this paper was conducted to
determine the effects of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) on in-role and extra-role employee
workplace behavior. Using simple and hierarchical regression, it was found out that GHRM significantly affects
the in-role, extra-role employee workplace behavior and psychological green climate. This indicates that sound
GHRM-environmental management policy will increase the employees’ awareness and commitment in
performing tasks related and beyond the social norms. Moreover, it also directly and indirectly affect the
employees’ behavior through the mediation of psychological green climate and moderating effect of individual
green values. Hence, companies are recommending to reinforce GHRM by effectively encouraging the
management through rewards and policies that may include carbon credit offsets, employee compensations and
compliance to improve efficiency to boost green initiatives and engage more people.

burnout and job satisfaction, the correlational research design was used. The standardized Maslach Burnoout
Inventory (MBI) was used to determine the teachers’ burnout level and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by
Spector (1994) was used to determine their job satisfaction level. It was found out that the TMCSHS teachers’
burnout was relatively high while their job satisfaction was just average. Moreover, testing for significant
relationship reveals that there is a significant negative relationship between the teachers’ burnout and the
teachers’ job satisfaction. Thus, it can be concluded that with the teachers’ high level of burnout is indirectly
proportional to their job satisfaction. There is a need to address the teachers’ burnout and job satisfaction. This
confirms the study by Jacobson (2016) that teacher burnout is related to job satisfaction. This study aims to add
to the growing literature on teacher burnout and job satisfaction though doing a localized study at Trece Martires
City Senior High School the results of which shall be used to propose a stress reduction program among the
teaching staff of the said school.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES OF TEACHERS OF WAWA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:

INPUT TO A TEACHER HANDBOOK

Fermina H. Alipusan

ABSTRACT: Conflict management is the practice of being able to identify and handle conflicts sensibly, fairly,
and efficiently. Utilizing conflict resolution strategies in the classroom is becoming an increasingly important part
of a school day. Constructive conflict management strategies are important in maintaining a positive classroom
environment yet little is known about interpersonal or school variables associated with teachers' use of such
strategies with students. At Wawa Elementary School, the number of pupils has expanded to more than two
thousand. Managing these pupils entailed a lot of difficult tasks especially when it comes to conflict
management. Behavior and discipline have always posed a problem especially to teacher-advisers. Therefore,
a sound and effective conflict management strategy has to be employed in cases of conflict between pupils and
parents too. As Master Teacher I, the researcher has always been very keen on developing a positive conflict
resolution which the school can use. Her study aimed to determine the conflict resolution strategies of teachers
of Wawa Elementary School. The profile of the respondents is in terms of age, gender, civil status, educational
attainment, and length of service. The conflict resolution strategies of teachers of Wawa Elementary School
were investigated. The researcher used the descriptive method of research with the questionnaire as the data
gathering tool. The respondents were six (6) master teachers, seven (7) grade leaders, one (1) guidance
counselor and twenty (20) teachers. Results revealed that the conflict resolution strategies were avoiding
conflicts, giving in, standing their ground, compromising and collaboration. Based on the findings, a Teachers’
Handbook was created by the researcher which contained all the guidelines as stipulated in the Code of
Professional Ethics. The handbook was assessed by the school head, faculty officers, master teachers and
grade leaders.

performance. This paper aimed to examine the quality work life balance among Pantalan Senior High School
Faculty and explore how it is affecting the work related activities of the faculty as basis for faculty development
programs in the said school. The result of the study proved that a good quality of work life balance results into
the wellness of the faculty and also improved student behavior. It emerged from the outcome that designation of
the teachers, their nature of appointments, the academic stream in which they are teaching affect their quality
work life balance directly and significantly. The greatest impact on the quality work-life has the nature of work,
relationships with management and colleagues, environment and workload. The high value of the quality of work-
life directly influences the higher quality of life. The research findings show that the quality of working life can be
measured, improved and managed.

THE PROPOSED INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Angelita C. De Castro

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the level of teaching performance of Barigon Elementary
School teachers as basis for the proposed intervention program. The descriptive method was utilized in the study
to show the present condition and the purpose is to find the truth. The responses given by the respondents were
treated with utmost confidentiality. Unfortunately, based on the researchers’ observation, it was found out that
some of the teachers have minimal teaching strategies in developing numeracy skills of the pupils and affected
the pupils’ level of interest in learning. The findings also revealed that the level of teaching competence and
performance of basic education teachers as assessed by the principals and teachers themselves were
satisfactory, respectively. Furthermore, the study revealed that seminars, trainings, instructional supervision and
coaching and mentoring may be conducted within the school to disseminate information on the importance of
teachers’ improvement in their level of performance. Nevertheless, the research serves as reflective reference
among Barigon ES teachers to constantly re-evaluate their level of competencies in different teaching indicators
to enhance learners’ performance. The study will be of great help to every school to improve their school
performance and at the same time ensure the promotion of teachers due to their teaching capabilities.

OPTIMIZING TEST CHECKING AND ANALYSIS USING MOBILE-BASED APPLICATION

Emerson Brucal Dalangin & Gina De Villa Dalangin

Abstract: Based on Department Order No. 8, s. 2015, classroom assessment is an integral part of teaching and
learning. (Luistro, 2015). Often, teachers used multiple choice test in quarterly examinations. (Weimer, 2015).
Checking test papers and doing item analysis took a lot of time. There are available mobile applications that can
do these tasks. (Viebach, 2016). This study aimed to help teachers optimize their time doing these tasks.
Experimental design was utilized where 29 teachers were selected to participate. Respondents checked ten 50-
item multiple choice test papers and did item analysis manually. Also, they used a mobile application to scan the
answer sheets. The result showed that a teacher would spend 10 hours in checking 200 papers and doing item
analysis manually while it would take 28 minutes using the application which is statistically better compared to
manual counterpart based on t-test result. This application is recommended to all teachers.

Peejay G. Gecolea & Dr. CincyMerly B. Gecolea

ABSTRACT: The study looked into the challenges encountered by the MTAP national scholars and their
significant learning while in the scholarship program. Through the results of the present study, the researchers
crafted a compendium of best practices of the scholars that can be adopted by other teachers. The study utilized
the qualitative research with phenomenology as an approach. The participants of the study consisted of 13
selected National MTAP scholars from the different regions in the Philippines who were chosen purposively. In
gathering pertinent information, the researchers used an interview guide questions to direct the flow of
discussions with the respondents during focus group discussion. The researchers prepared four questions for
the respondents. Results of the study revealed that emotional problem is the greatest challenge encountered by
the MTAP national scholars. It also revealed that despite the challenges encountered by these scholars they
were able to handle and cope-up with these difficulties because of the friendship that they build while in the
scholarship program. It is recommended that the department may send more teachers to scholarship program
either local or international because it does not only help teachers to be more equipped with their subject matter
but it enables also teachers to me more compassionate in teaching. The study is limited only to the 13 MTAP
national scholars and their experiences in a Paulinian community. This explores only with the challenges and
significant learning of the scholars. The present study is the first research conducted regarding the experiences
of the MTAP scholars despite the fact that it is already on its third year of implementation.

ASSESSMENT OF HEALTH-SEEKING BEHAVIOR AND ITS DETERMINANTS

AMONG THE DEPED TEACHING PERSONNEL IN A PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTRICT

Diana P. Topacio, May Anne Joy D. Romanes, & Ronalyn P. Salazar

ABSTRACT: This study aims to do the following: (1) determine the profile of the teaching personnel from District X,
in terms of age, civil status, distance from home to the preferred health facility, family type, and number of dependents;
(2) enumerate the health-seeking behaviors of the teaching personnel from District X; (3) identify their level of the
health-seeking behaviors; and (4) determine if the socio-demographic data of the respondents predict the level of the
health-seeking behavior the teaching personnel from District X. This study utilized quantitative research design. The
research instrument was made available online for 2 weeks to the 1450 teaching personnel in District X. Out of these
target respondents, 356 teachers answered the online survey. Frequency count was used to identify the health-seeking
behaviors of the teaching personnel from District X. Average, standard deviation, and mean percentile score were
computed to determine the level of the health-seeking behaviors of the teaching personnel from District X. Regression
analyses were used to determine if the socio-demographic profile can predict the level of health seeking behavior
among the respondents. The results of the study revealed the following socio-demographic profile of the respondents:
(a) average age of 35 years old; (b) 214 (60.11%) were married, 125 (35.11%) were single, 13 (3.65%) were separated,
and 4 (1.12%) were widowed; (c) the preferred health facilities of the respondents were located within the barangay
(133 or 37.36%), within the municipality/city (180 or 50.56%), within the province (38 or 10.67%), and outside the
province (5 or 1.4%); (d) the respondents belong to nuclear family (243 or 68.26%), extended family (70 or 19.66%),
single parent family (23 or 6.46%), childless (10 or 2.81%), alone (5 or 1.40%), stepfamily (3 or 0.84%), and
grandparent family (2 or 0.56%); and (e) an average number of dependents of 2. The top 5 most common health
seeking behaviors identified among the respondents were rest (239 or 66%), sleep (236 or 65.2%), pray for healing
(198 or 54.7%), use of medicated oil/balm (192 or 53%), and use of herbal medicine (186 or 51.4%). The teaching
personnel in District X were found to have moderate health-seeking behavior. Further, regression analyses revealed
that the socio-demographic profile cannot predict the level of health seeking behavior among the respondents. This
study focused on the teaching personnel assigned in District X as of August 2019. The level of the health seeking
behavior measured among the respondents was measured in terms of frequency and its health risk to the respondents.
The research instrument was developed from the previous research studies, and was validated in terms of its content.
This study filled the knowledge gap on the health-seeking behavior of the teaching personnel and its determinants
among the DepEd teaching personnel in a Public Schools District. The findings of this study suggested the inclusion
of all teaching personnel in the district wellness program.

APABILITY OF DATAGONAM TEACHERS IN CONDUCTING ACTION RESEARCH: BASIS FOR

AN ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM

Analiza Escala Talattad

ABSTRACT: This study endeavored on determining the capability of DATAGONAM teachers in conducting
action research. The study made use of descriptive comparative and correlational research design. The research
made use of a questionnaire validated and tested for its reliability with the use of Cronbach’s alpha. The
instrument yielded a reliability index of 0.91.
Results showed that the respondents are generally of middle aged, mostly female, married dominated, many are
with masters education. With regards their position, many are teacher 3 with 6 to 10 years or teaching experience.
It is also noted that most of the respondents have no research related training. Analysis on the difference on the
level of capability of respondents on conducting action research showed that all the respondents have the same
level of capability. On the other hand, analysis on the relationship on the level of capability of the respondents
in writing an action research to the profile variables revealed that only age and length of service influence the
capability of teachers. Among the issues and challenges encountered by the teachers in conducting and writing
an action research, it is emergent that lack of time is the common response of the respondents.

6 HOURS TEACHING LOAD…DOES WORK COMMITMENT AND JOB SATISFACTION

MATTERS TO JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THE PHILIPPINES?

Rebecca F. Averion, Ph.D. & Heidi Belle F. Caleja

ABSTRACT: In Philippines, teachers have to engage in at least six hours of actual classroom teaching and two
hours equivalent teaching-related activities within and outside of school to complete the eight-hour workday
(Agpay, 2019). Despite of this, the workload of public school teachers is not only limited to teaching but also to
other nonteaching tasks (David, Albert, & Vizmanos, 2019).With this issue, there is a discontinuity of reactions
pertaining to teacher’s experience high levels of stress, exhaustion and low morale while performing work (Llego,
2019). Using a descriptive method, a non-probability convinience sampling is used to 70 public school teachers
using two existing validated questionnaires, the TCM Employee Commitment Survey (Meyer, Allen, & Smith,
1993) to surface the level of work commitment of teachers in an organization; and Job Satisfaction Survey to
evaluate the teacher’s overall job satisfaction (Locke, 1976; Spector, 1985). Findings show significant relationship
between work commitment and job satisfaction, specifically in terms of position and educational level. In addition,
teachers are satisfied with the people within organization; however, it also shows that teachers are not satisfied
with too much paper work. Furthermore, it is recommended that teachers consider teaching job as a profession
and as a vocation.

ABSTRACT: The study mainly focused on the challenges of the beginning teachers when they enter the field of
education. It utilized the qualitative research with hermeneutic phenomenology as an approach. Through the use
of reflective journal and focus group discussion, beginning teachers personal reflections of experience were
recorded and analyzed to distinguish the most challenging experiences among beginning teachers. Participants
of this study were the 21 teachers from the City Schools Division of Calamba, Cabuyao, Biňan and Sta.Rosa
who were chosen purposively. In this study, the experiences of purposefully chosen participants in their first three
years of teaching were analyzed. Results of the study revealed that the participants are all education-course
graduate but most of them does not prefer this course. Meanwhile, the most challenging experiences of
beginning teachers include students’ diversity, stupefied with works, dissension with colleagues and
competencies mismatch.It is recommended that there must be a localized and school-based comprehensive
training program aside from the Teachers Induction Program offered for the beginning teachers. The study is
limited to the 21beginning teachers who shared their challenges as they enter the field of education. This research
developed a localized comprehensive training program that can be used by the school in providing school-based
training and development aside from the Teachers Induction Program given by their respective divisions.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to determine the challenges encountered by the new teachers in the District of
Calatagan on the two areas of teaching-learning process such as lesson planning and execution and classroom
management. The study employed descriptive research design which was quantitative in the aspect of data
gathering. One hundred percent (100%) of the new teachers’ population in the District of Calatagan served as
the respondents of the study. Questionnaire was utilized to determine the challenges encountered by the
respondents. The new teachers encountered challenges on lesson planning and execution and classroom
management as evident by the computed mean of 3.33 and 3.26 respectively, both interpreted as very true to
me. There is no significant difference on the challenges encountered by the new teachers when they are grouped
according to their profile variable. The study focused on the challenges encountered by the new teachers in the
District of Calatagan. This was limited to fifty (50) new teachers (35 secondary teachers and 15 elementary
teachers) who have rendered one (1) to two (2) years of teaching service in the district. The study will be very
beneficial to the new teachers in the District of Calatagan because this may serve as their voice in communicating
their struggles and difficulties, furthermore, having known their struggles can help them establish themselves as
confident educators and leaders as they navigate their first year of teaching. As a result, they will become more
competent and confident as they develop and mould young minds.

ABSTRACT: This research presents the findings of the study which was conducted to determine the things most expense
or gave much priorities by the teachers of selected school in Lipa City. It further dealt to the spending behavior, saving habit
and how to manage money reliably. Collect a reasonable and acceptable facts that will prove that expenditure of the teachers
have an impact that affects and leads down them to financial distress or some money issues. It helps not only in every
individual who became the respondent of this study but also the community as well. The study utilized the descriptive method
of research with the researcher-made questionnaire as the main data-gathering instrument. Using random sampling
technique, the questionnaires were administered to 20 elementary public school teachers. The results yielded were
interpreted using T-test. Findings revealed that that most of the respondents were young adults between the ages of 24-55,
majority are female, graduate of Bachelor’s Degree, with considerable length of teaching experience. With regards to the
summarized expenditure revealed the teachers most priorities were the basic needs (food, medication, education and
utilities/bills) the savings and insurance. On the other hand, the respondents had least expenditure in terms of allowances.
The age, sex, civil status, source of income and monthly income had significant difference while family size had no significant
difference on the summary expenditure of teachers. Based on the findings drawn, the study suggests that teachers must be
given sufficient trainings regarding how to expense wisely. This present ideas will be able to use as their reference in
expanding the knowledge about the understanding of summary expenditure. This will also be used as a guide in conducting
new researches about the said topic. Summarizing the expenditure is something nearly everyone can benefit from. Tracking
expenses daily can save money, but it can also help us to set financial goals for the future. It will also give us a good outlook
on our spending habits.

PCP is in compliance with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) mandated the implementation of the Strategic Performance
Management System (SPMS) to all government agencies through MC no. 6 s, 2012. This study looked into (1) performance
of MTs based on MEC 10 (2) Task of MTs in the Perspective of the MTs and School Heads (3) Transformation of MTs from
the old guidelines to the new PCP (4) Problems of MTs. This study used descriptive method of research. It used questionnaire
as the main tool in gathering data to determine the Level of Performance of Master Teachers, Master Teachers’ and School
Heads’ perspective on the Tasks of Master Teachers, problems encountered by Master Teachers. The data gathered were
used to describe the journey of the Master Teachers in transforming themselves from the expectations of MEC Order No. 10,
s. 1979 to the new expectations of the Position and Competency Profile. The data were analyzed and interpreted using
descriptive statistics. Documentary analysis and interview were also used. MTs’ performances as a classroom teacher were
very satisfactory, unsatisfactory as Instructional Material developer, satisfactory as Mentor and Demonstration Teacher. All
the KRAs were perceived as main task except for Leadership role which is perceived as additional assigned Task. The MTs
as the subject of change experience the normal stages of the process. The diverse perspective of the MTs on their task is a
sign of confusion leading to disorientation if not properly addressed. Some of the Problems of MTs: Lack of required skills
and competence in conducting instructional supervision, No clear policy on the instructional supervisory functions,
administrative reports are delegated to Master Teachers, and Lack of an organized system on how the MTs perform their
instructional supervision functions, mentoring and coaching. It looked into the level of performance of MTs according to their
main task as stipulated in MECS Order No. 10 s. 1979 and their perception on the new tasks of MTs as stipulated in the
Position Competency Profile of MTs. It gives insight to policy makers on the intervention that should be conducted to address
the gap in the policy on MTs to fit in with the changing roles of MTs from 1979 to date.

OUT-OF-FIELD TEACHING: CONTEXT, PROCESSES AND EXPERIENCES IN CAVITE PUBLIC

SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Mary Ann B. Gatpandan

ABSTRACT: Assigning teachers to handle subjects outside their specialization is an educational concern which can impact
not only the personal and professional lives of teachers but also the overall quality of basic education. This reality of out-of-
field teaching (OOFT) is not uncommon among secondary schools in the Philippines. Thus, this paper presents how evident
is out-of-field teaching in the province of Cavite and the existing processes and support systems relative to out-of-field
teachers in the five schools division offices in the province. It also describes the personal, professional and institutional
experiences of out-of-field teachers and attempts to come up with recommendations in addressing identified issues and
problems as well as the development of teachers who are into teaching out-of-field. A combination of quantitative and
qualitative methods of research or mixed method was used in this study. For the quantitative data, 274 teacher-respondents
from 866 recorded OOFT cases in public secondary schools in five schools divisions answered the survey questionnaire. For
the qualitative data, a total of 21 teacher-participants participated in the focus group discussions and interviews and 4
principal-participants served as key informants. Statistical treatments were used to analyze the quantitative data such as
frequency, percentage and weighted mean. Lichtman’s 3Cs of analysis was used to analyze qualitative data and describe
the experiences of the out-of-field teachers. The findings revealed that while school heads are doing their best to strictly follow
the DepEd’s Orders on hiring processes in public secondary schools, misassignment of teaching loads remains an
unavoidable situation and most likely to happen to novice teachers. Based on the data gathered, there are 19.37% cases of
OOFT in the entire province of Cavite with the highest incidence recorded in Division of Cavite Province.It was also revealed
that more than half of out-of-field teachers (OOFts) are novice teachers or teachers who are in the service for less than 5
years with most of them teaching MAPEH, Filipino, Values Education, and Araling Panlipunan subjects. To respond to this
situation, 82.85% of OOFts attend seminars and trainings related to the non-specialized subject with 74.08% of these
seminars and trainings sponsored by the DepEd. Finally, this paper concludes that OOFT is a continuous practice in public
secondary schools in the province of Cavite partly due to an imbalance or undersupply of teachers majoring in specific
subjects. However, a range of solutions can be made to help the OOFt’s. Thus, this study provides valuable recommendations
for teachers’ pre-service and induction program, school processes in assigning loads and teachers’ professional development
which can be a basis for further exploration of school leaders and DepEd’s policy makers.

BATANGAS CITY
Lori-Lyn G. Guico, Jonathan David P. Marcelino, & Chona Dimaandal-Andal, PhD

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to unleash the informants’ perception about milk tea products; to uncover the
buying behavior of these informants; and to unravel the factors that affect the informants’ buying behavior. The
research utilized descriptive-thematic synthesis method in understanding the perception of 10 milk tea customers
around Batangas City. An interview guide was used as the study’s data gathering instrument. Based on the
study’s results, the informants commonly distinguished milk tea as a beverage which has a mixture of milk and
tea and a beverage that is healthy for the body that gives benefits on mental and emotional aspects. Moreover,
milk tea customers have a tendency to buy milk tea for about two to three times a week and willing to spend a
minimum of P100.00 for a milk tea product as part of their weekly routine. Furthermore, milk tea consumers have
been strongly influenced by social factors, personal factors and psychological factors wherein social factor is the
greatest factor that affects the buying behavior. In view of these, the study recommends the business persons to
prioritize the social factors that affect the buying behavior of a milk tea consumer in finding new techniques and
solutions for the business. Furthermore, other businesses may adopt the idea on modernizing their products to
earn more customers, is also recommended. Lastly, future researchers may conduct similar studies on how
future generations would deal with their patronization on milk tea products as they properly monitor their buying
behavior.

BATANGAS CITY
MELVIN C. ENRIQUEZ
ABSTRACT: This study sought to identify the involvement of school-community in the development activities in public
elementary schools of District VI in the Division of Batangas City with the end view of proposing a feasible school-community
development projects. In this study a descriptive method of research was used. This method of research is believed to be
appropriate to the study. By applying such method, the researcher was able to determine the effects of community
development activities to the personal and professional life of teachers, parents and LGU’s. The kinds of issues and
challenges being experienced in the implementation of community development activities will also be enumerated through
the same method. The respondents in this study are composed of 290 teachers from public elementary schools in the Division
of Batangas City and has identified through stratified random sampling, and 50 parents and 50 local government units (LGUs),
this has identified through purposive sampling. The parents, members of LGUs and teachers assessed their involvement in
community development activities regarding environmental conservation and protection to be very much involved, with a
weighted mean ranging from 3.56 to 4.00; regarding health and sanitation to be very much involved, with a weighted mean
ranging from 3.34 to 3.92; and, with literacy campaign to be very much involved, with a weighted mean ranging from 3.44 to
4.00. The assessment of select teachers, members of local government units and parents about environmental conservation
and protection, as well as to health and sanitation had no significant differences. There was a significant difference in their
assessment of respondents in terms of literacy campaign. When the assessments of select teachers and members of LGUs
were compared, there was a mean difference of -1.680 (significant at 0.05 level of significance). When the assessments of
select teachers and parents were compared, there was a mean difference of -1.673. The issues and challenges in the
implementation of community development activities include the facts that environmental protection and conservation projects
get less number of participants during the implementation stage, that implementation of community development activities is
often placed in the least of their priorities and, that participation in community development activities is done for compliance
and documentation purposes. The proposed comprehensive school-community development projects are PLANTREES for
the FUTURE for environment conservation and protection; MEDICAL MISSION ADVENTURES for health and sanitation; and
Little Race for a Big Cause for literacy campaign. This study aimed to assess the involvement of parents, LGU’s and teachers
in community development activities with regard to environmental conservation and protection; health and sanitation; and
literacy campaign. However, this study did not intend to measure the pupils’ involvement in community development activities.
This research did not include public teachers from the junior and senior high school levels or any other teachers from the
private schools. This study will be the basis on how to strengthen the involvement of parents, LGU’s and teachers in
community development activities with regard to environmental conservation and protection; health and sanitation; and
literacy campaign. Since the school and the community wanted each pupils in their community to be good in everything,
pupils will benefit in every community development activities to be conducted by the school and community.

and the “Post-Hoc” were used to statistically treat data. The result showed, that in terms of age, it yielded
significant difference in the level of job satisfaction. Generally, the secondary teachers are found to be contented
or satisfied with their job indicating that amidst the challenges brought by the different factors in the educational
environment. However, despite the satisfaction level of teachers towards works at 2.89, interpreted as Satisfied,
the gap is apparent towards the attainment of continuous improvement, specifically in the areas of Work Condition

The study aimed to; analyze the factors affecting job satisfaction among Pantay National High teachers of the
school year 2019-2020; examine the factors which teachers are satisfied with; and recommend strategies for the
improvement of teachers job satisfaction which can help also to improve students’ academic performance. The
researcher used descriptive - qualitative research in gathering data and information relevant to the study. A
survey instruments were administered by selected teachers in Teresa Rizal and was conducted from April toJune
2019.Data gathered were collated, analyzed , and interpreted to come up with conclusion and recommendations.
The researchers used descriptive statistics toget the frequencies of some variables in analyzing the results of
the survey. The five (5) factors affecting teachers job satisfaction among Secondary Teachers in Teresa
Rizalincludes: Meaningfulness of the Job, Administrative support,Job Characteristic,Intentionto remain in the
job,and Communal benefits. This study has its limitation; the survey was administered only to 50 or 100%
teachers in secondary schools in Teresa Rizal. The result of this study is based on self-reported data that were
obtained through the use of the survey instrument which is subject to biasness in responses. This implies that
cautions need to be taken in drawing conclusions over the results of the study. The vital practice of education
could be abridged as a significant interface between the teacher and the students. The teacher – student relation
is in the forefront and other relevant contributors are in the background. This fact emphasizes the role of the
teacher in learning and educating an individual. The teacher thus plays a undeviating and a vital role in molding
a student towards education. Since teacher is a role model for the students, job satisfaction and eventually the
performance of a teacher becomes very essential in the field of education. Thus, the researcher felt the need to
study the job satisfaction and performance of teachers in different categories.

TEACHERS’ PERFORMANCE TOWARDS QUALITY ASSURANCE

Alma G. Dimaano

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to describe the teachers’ performance in the areas of instruction, classroom
management, community involvement and professional development in order to propose a quality assurance
program. The researcher utilized a descriptive design and employed the use of questionnaire which were
administered to the 71 teachers of Fernando Air Base INHS. Result of the investigation revealed that teachers
perform highly proficiently in the areas of instruction and classroom management but perform moderately
proficient on the areas of community involvement and professional development. Some critical problems that
teachers encounter in the performance of their duties were also revealed. These results became the basis of the
proposed quality assurance measure. This program can be an effective means of ensuring that the teachers are
delivering quality teaching, which in turn in translated to quality education. It has to be noted, that at the moment,
there is no prevailing system of quality assurance for most public schools. And that makes this paper an original
one. However, these results were limited to the parameters of the teachers’ performance that were noted in the
study. At the same time, these pertain only to the teachers of Fernando Air Base INHS during the school year
2019-2020.

LIVED EXPERIENCES OF OUT-OF-FIELD JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHERS

Mary Jean S. Paraiso

ABSTRACT: The study explored the lived experiences of the Out-of-Field Junior High School Science teachers. The
study was conducted in the main school of Bukidnon National High School for the school year 2017-2018. There were
12 participants purposively selected. This study used qualitative research design using phenomenological analysis.
Data from casual observations, semi- structured interview and focus group discussion were coded and analyzed
qualitatively to identify pattern in order to create major themes. In each major theme, subthemes were also identified.
Furthermore, in each subtheme there were also specific themes identified. The findings reveal that, the Out-of-Field
Junior High School Science Teachers encountered challenges, problems/difficulties in teaching Science subjects of
the K-12 Curriculum specifically in teaching Science content, in preparing the lesson plan, in choosing instructional
materials, in selecting teaching strategies, in integrating technology and in the assessment of learning. However, all
the challenges, problems/difficulties encountered by the Out-of-Field Junior High School Science Teachers were
addressed by them but they still find it inadequate to deliver what is expected of them. Despite the challenges,
problems/difficulties encountered by the Out-of-Field Junior High School Science Teachers, they still persist to teach
Science Subjects because of their pursuit to develop learning effectiveness among the learners.

PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL ATTRIBUTES OF FILIPINO TEACHERS AT BATANGAS

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (BNHS): BASIS FOR FACULTY PROGRAMS AND INTERVENTIONS
Recely L. Papa (MA)
ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the personal and professional attributes of teachers assigned in the
Filipino Department of one big government school in Batangas City. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the personal
and professional profile of the teachers handling Filipino subjects in terms of sex, number of years teaching in the department
and educational attainment; identify the common problems in terms of subjects handled and students’ attitudes as
experienced by these teachers and based on the results of the study, propose recommendations / measures that may serve
as basis for future Faculty Development Programs and Interventions. The descriptive quantitative type of research was utilized
in the study. Results showed that 100% of the teacher-respondents assigned to handle Filipino subjects at the Batangas
National High School (BNHS), in Batangas City were female; 29.41% had experienced teaching on an average of 5 years
and below; and 55.88% had units in the Graduate School Program. In terms of subjects handled, only the new Filipino
teachers encountered difficulties in terms of teaching the lessons especially on figurative language and symbolism, to
uninterested sets of learners. While in terms of problems encountered with students, most of the Filipino teachers had
students who were not doing their assigned tasks, with lack of interest in the subject and with frequent tardiness and
absenteeism marks in the records. Among the strategies which had been utilized by majority of the teacher-respondents
include discussing the subject issues with the Head Teacher, and for the students’ cases, contacting the parents of the
concerned learners re their cases/problems. Based on the results of the study, it is highly suggested that the following can
be greatly utilized to overcome the cases revealed in the study: for the concerns on handling Filipino subjects, the teachers,
thru their Head Teacher-researcher, may request for seminars on curriculum-related topics so that interventions/exercises
teachers may give their students (in great need of those) better and competency-aligned exercises approved by curriculum
experts and for handling students’ cases or problems, is recommended that the Filipino department may invite a registered
guidance counselor to discuss ways on handling classroom misbehaviors. This study did not include teachers not assigned
in the Filipino department of the Batangas National High School (BNHS) in Batangas City. This study is an original work and
the first of its kind to be conducted in the Filipino Department of the Batangas National High School (BNHS) in Batangas City.
Its main goal is to assess the personal and professional qualifications of the teacher-respondents. This is a valuable research
study as the school head and the other head teachers may use it as guide when making future curriculum plans and activities
or programs geared towards enhancing both the teachers andstudents’ development in the different subject areas.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE TEACHERS’ JOB SATISFACTION TO THE ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDENTS
Reymund M. Ferry, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to identify the implications of teacher’s satisfaction to the academic performance
of the students in Batangas National High School, Batangas City SY 2018-2019. It is limited to the data gathered through the
40 identified respondents and research questionnaire. Specifically, the objectives of the study are to: determine the job
satisfaction of the teachers in terms of age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, length of service and monthly income;
weigh the relationship between the respondents job satisfaction and the profile; deliberate the implication of teachers’
satisfaction to the academic performance of the students; and propose an activity to improve the teachers’ satisfaction that
enhance the academic performance of the students. The descriptive design was considered by the researcher in order to
determine the implications of teacher’s job satisfaction to the academic performance of the students. The researcher used
the standard Job Satisfaction Survey Questionnaire by Paul E. Spector as main tool for gathering pertinent data. To interpret
data, the researcher employs percentage, weighted mean, independent t-test in determining the relationship between the
respondents’ job satisfaction and demographic profile as well as one-way analysis of variance. According to Clarke (2001),
descriptive research involves the description, recording, analysis and interpretation of the present nature, composition or
processes of phenomena. In addition, descriptive research or method is fact-finding with adequate interpretation. As gleaned
in the study, teacher’s satisfaction have an implications in the performance of the learners academically. The researcher
found that the teachers who are satisfied with their jobs perform better. Along with various indicators of teachers’ job
satisfaction variables. Job satisfaction is an element in maintaining the quality performance of teachers in an organization. In
academic, job satisfaction is among the cornerstones for healthier secondary school. Results of the study showed that job
satisfaction has a great relationship with teacher quality performance and organizational productivity. Therefore, any trials
around the achievements of teachers’ job satisfaction can end the attainment of the goals for secondary education in public
schools. Most schools need contented and happy teachers who can work effectively for the achievement of school goals.
Due to its relevance to the well -being of the teachers, as well as its job-related attitudes as pay, promotion, supervision,
fringe benefits, contingent rewards, operating procedure, co-workers, nature of work, communications, job satisfaction still an
important matters to discuss. Therefore, teachers’ satisfaction with their work may have a solid impact in students’ learning.
Specially, it may influence the quality of education given to students. Based on the research, teachers who do not feel
supported in their work may be less motivated to do their great in teaching. Furthermore, highly satisfied teachers are less
likely to change schools or to leave the teaching profession altogether than those who are dissatisfied with many aspects of
their work life.

DIVISION OF BATANGAS CITY

Vilma M. Medrano, LPT, MaEd; Janice G. Claveria, LPT, MaEd; & Kenh Mae M. Almarez, LPT

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this qualitative research is to discuss the actual situation of neophyte teachers on
their path that will guide them to strive and survive. The researchers used a phenomenological interview method, a
form of inquiry that explores the enormous complexity of human experience through an examination of the relationships
between the person and his or her world (Pollio et al, 2012). The researchers will conduct a survey and interview as a
method in gathering data to the teachers of District 9, Division of Batangas City as respondents to get their opinion,
interpret their action and get an insight on what is happening on their life inside the school. The results showed that
teachers chose to take teaching as a career because it’s their passion; influenced from their family or high school
teacher; demand; and scholarship. All neophyte teachers are planning to have their Master or Doctor’s degree.
However, teachers are challenged with classroom management, professional relation with immediate superior, and
work overload. But, teachers exemplified that they are always on the go despite of the problems, challenges or trials
that they will encounter, not because on their own reasons. They are surviving in teaching and striving for a solution to
help the students for a better society. The research dealt on the manifestation of the Professional Behavior of Neophyte
Teachers based on the Code of Ethics of the Teaching Profession which sets the guides for teachers’ conduct in
relation to the state, students, peers, parents, school officials, non-teaching personnel, community and the profession
itself and teaching performance using the IPCRF of the Department of Education. The researchers found out the
significant relationship between the teachers’ teaching performance and professional behavior of neophyte teachers.
Moreover, the Master Teachers will also supplement the data. The result of this study will make them aware towards
the understanding of teachers’ teaching performance and extent of manifestation of their professional behavior. The
results will enable them to visualize how teachers behave and how such behavior affects teachers’ performance in
school. Moreover, school administrators may also be able to identify who among their new teachers are empowered
or helpless due to their behavior. With such data, they can be properly guided in deploying the new teachers to their
appropriate assignment.It may be utilized as baseline data in planning and setting up new program for teacher
development especially in improving their behavior and teaching performance. Furthermore, the findings may also be
useful to them in identifying certain personal attributes so that performance measure and hiring practices could be
devised to ensure that old and new teachers alike are up to the challenge of their job .

BURNOUT REDUCTION PROGRAM

Cherry Lou Mojica & Ma. Gretchen Medianista

ABSTRACT: The current study aims to determine the relationship between the teachers’ burnout and teachers’
job satisfaction at Trece Martires City Senior High School. In underscoring the relationship between the teachers’
burnout and job satisfaction, the correlational research design was used. The standardized Maslach Burnoout
Inventory (MBI) was used to determine the teachers’ burnout level and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by
Spector (1994) was used to determine their job satisfaction level. It was found out that the TMCSHS teachers’
burnout was relatively high while their job satisfaction was just average. Moreover, testing for significant
relationship reveals that there is a significant negative relationship between the teachers’ burnout and the
teachers’ job satisfaction. Thus, it can be concluded that with the teachers’ high level of burnout is indirectly
proportional to their job satisfaction. There is a need to address the teachers’ burnout and job satisfaction. This
confirms the study by Jacobson (2016) that teacher burnout is related to job satisfaction. This study aims to add
to the growing literature on teacher burnout and job satisfaction though doing a localized study at Trece Martires
City Senior High School the results of which shall be used to propose a stress reduction program among the
teaching staff of the said school.

PERCEIVED STRESS AND RESILIENCY OF TRAINERS IN PUERTO PRINCESA SCHOOL OF

ARTS AND TRADES

ABSTRACT: Stress is part of our daily lives. It affects our emotional, physical, behavioral and cognitive aspects.
Determining sources of stress and different coping strategies are imperative to employ activities that would
minimize stress in the workplace. A total of 27 trainers at Puerto Princesa School of Arts and Trades in Puerto
Princesa City were asked to fill up questionnaires and answers questions. Mixed Method was used to find
trainers sources of stress, perceived level of stress, coping strategies and the relationship between the perceived
level of stress and IPRC as an indicator of work performance. The Microsoft Office Excel and Sofa Stats were
used in getting the frequencies, mean, percentage and the correlation of the necessary data. It is found out that
there is no significant relationship between trainers’ perceived level of stress and IPCR as an indicator of work
performance. It is recommended that a stress management program should be designed and institutionalized,
the school should conduct seminars that will reduce the trainers’ stressors and level of stress, and another study
should be conducted that will involve more respondents.

were two representatives from each department who participated in the study. A self-made guide questions were
used for this research which underwent corrections and validations. The guide questions were composed of ten
items under the three categories: a) job satisfaction; and b) commitment.
Generally, the results of the teachers’ responses revealed that SPNHS teachers are satisfied with their work;
however, they are looking forward to some other professional development where they could engage themselves
for their growth as educators. Unexpected and under pressure work make them less satisfied too in doing their
job in school. In terms of commitment, SPNHS teachers are all committed in doing the tasks entrusted to their
care. Although at times they have multiple tasks, but most them were able to accomplish what they ought to do.
They work towards one goal for the betterment of the students and of the community. Lastly, internal and external
factors were identified that affect their attitude towards work. The results of the study are used as the basis in
proposing an action plan to help teachers be more satisfied and committed with their work.

PROJECT KINDER (KINDEGARTEN PUPILS IN DEVELOPING EARLY READING): AN

EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE FOSTERING PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN
PROMOTING LEARNERS’ EARLY READING COMPETENCE

Elma M. Aritao

ABSTRACT: Its purpose was not to give the burden of teaching beginning reading to the parents but for the
teachers and the parents to work hand in hand to ensure that the children will be able to read before they finish
Kindergarten. The teachers and the parents must work hand in hand to be able to produce successful readers in
Kindergarten. The study used the experimental design in analyzing data about the Project Kinder (Kindergarten
pupils in Developing Early Reading). These findings only imply that the academic empowerment of children could
also be influenced by the level of parental participation and involvement in the efforts to develop learners’ basic
academic competencies like reading. Project KINDER was effective in improving the reading readiness and early
reading competence of the pupils as attested by the improved post-test scores of the majority of the pupil-
respondents. In this modern age of education, teachers are becoming highly open to the idea of embracing the
support of parents in implementing collaborative reading interventions for children.

HINDERING AND FACILITATING FACTORS TOWARDS INCLUSIVE

EDUCATION AT MASAGUITSIT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Niña Quicel A. Abanilla

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this study is to describe the hindering and facilitating factors of school’s
stakeholders towards inclusive education. Inclusive Education offers to cater equal access for all kinds of learners
regardless of ethnicity, gender and disability which benefit not just students but also the whole society. However,
as much as it was helpful, it also brings challenges and issues to the educational system especially when the
school’s stakeholders involved have no idea of the process of inclusion and all the matters included in order to
achieve its success. Using a qualitative research of methodology, findings showed that the success and failure
of inclusive education relies deeply on the acceptance and willingness of the stakeholders to welcome all kinds
of learners, regardless of their disabilities. Through this research, gaps and problems on full implementation of
inclusive education will be given solution to and stakeholders would be equipped with knowledge and skills
needed for successful implementation of the said program.

ATTITUDE AND PERCEPTIONS OF EDUCATIONAL STAKEHOLDERS ON MODULAR

APPROACH DELIVERY OF EDUCATION (MADE) AT PLARIDEL NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL: A
TRIANGULATION

Edwardo A. Peralta

ABSTRACT: Understanding why students drop out of school is the key addressing this educational problem.
However, identifying the causes of dropping out is extremely difficult to do simply because it is influenced by an
array of proximal and distal factors related to both the individual students and to the family, school, and
community setting in which the student lives. The complexity of this drop out phenomenon as reported in previous
studies facilitated the conceptualization of this current study. Surveying the attitudes and perspectives of
education stakeholders in a triangulation approach spurred the interest of the researcher to advance a strategy
in educational delivery to save the students from totally dropping out of school. The findings of the study pointed
out that when all stakeholders are included in the consultation process, educators can better address the
challenges at hand. The formulated Hand book on the procedures and policies for reference of the teachers,
students and parents of the Project MADE will give a them knowledge and pure acceptance of the Project MADE.

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: THROUGH THE EYES OF THE SCHOOL STAKEHOLDERS

Mary Ponytail Acar, PhD

ABSTRACT: This study stems from the fact that very little is known about the practice of educational inclusion
in the Philippines. The absence of a shared approach to education in the country, one that is open to all students,
suggests that a strong conceptual basis for inclusive education (IE) remains to be established. The research
utilized qualitative-quantitative methods of research. The participants will be the select parents, teachers, and
principal chosen purposively of the researchers. They were interviewed and asked to answer the questionnaire
set/prepared by the researcher. They were selected following the ethical consideration set in the conduct of the
study. The data gathered were treated with utmost confidentiality. The responses made verbatimly transcribed.
The results of the interview became the foundation in identifying the themes that emerged in the study. Results
showed that stakeholders have different perceptions about inclusive education which affect how they participated
in the school activities. It was also found out that their views contributed to how they engaged to the policies and
programs of the school.

Federico I. Lachica & Jenie Jane A. Madrid

ABSTRACT: This study presents the attitude of the receiving learners towards inclusive education in terms of
cognition, affection and behavior. This will be used as basis in the development of an orientation program for
behavioral management of the receiving classes in General Emilio Aguinaldo National High School, Imus, Cavite.
This study used a descriptive survey methodology with stratified random sampling that considered 500 high
school student-respondents. The survey questionnaire was adapted from The Chedoke-McMaster Attitudes
Towards Children with Handicaps. Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent variables and one-way ANOVA
were employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that students’ attitude towards inclusion was generally
neutral. Cognition got the least level of attitude, and therefore needs more focus in program development. Gender
and affiliation with persons-with-disability did not show significant effects to attitude. The study also showed that
higher age bracket and grade level yielded lower levels of attitude. Socio-economic status has no significant
relation to affection and behavior. Learners in the lower socio-economic status showed significantly higher
cognition level though. This study is limited to the attitudes of regular students towards inclusion. The study will
benefit the receiving teachers to enhance instructional accommodation for a successful inclusion program.

analysis. The results revealed that seven (7) of the nine socio-cultural aspects are sometimes practiced by the
tribe. The other two, which are religious beliefs and marriage practices, are rarely practiced. According to one
respondent, their religious beliefs were changed radically as a result of their indoctrination to Christianity and the
dowry system is among the customs in the past which are not practiced anymore. On the other hand, the
members still have high regard to their elders. The findings also show that many profile variables have significant
relationship with their socio-cultural practices. Hence, the researcher made a number of contextualized and
indigenized learning modules which are mainly deduced from the quantitative and qualitative data. Through
these, the preservation of the socio-cultural practices and their transfer from one generation to another are
seamlessly done. Preferably, the Department of Education should review the implementation of the Indigenous
Peoples Education (IPEd) given that the findings revealed strong correlation between and among the socio-
cultural practices of the Bugkalot Tribe and their personal, educational, and work profiles. In this way, the
government’s thrust in improving the quality of education among the marginalized sectors like Bugkalot could be
successfully attained.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF DISENGAGEMENT OF IRREGULAR SCHOOLING AMONG

ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM LEARNERS

Dr. Phillip Ramir L. Punzalan

ABSTRACT: The study evaluated the psychological factors of disengagement of irregular schooling among thirty
(30) Alternative Learning System Learners using qualitative action research documentary semi-structured
questionnaire through narrative documentary analysis and audio-video recording as evidence data. It showed
that family problem, excessive worrying, lack of self-confidence, shyness, and ignore by others were the major
reasons of not attending the elementary and secondary education before ALS. The experiences of participants
as to not being in school for several years were caused by poverty, teenage employment, being emotionally
affected, feeling hopeless regretful and disappointed in accomplishing their target goals. Further, it was revealed
on the effects of ALS to the participants’ present behavior led them utilize the positive effects of becoming a
better individual in transforming them such as: character development, spiritual growth, good interpersonal
relationship, learning experience and career development. It was concluded that majority of the respondents,
manifested the psychological factors of not attending the normal schooling were factors linked to personal, social
and emotional development, life events, school, child and family coping strategies and attitudes of learning.

SETTING NO BOUNDARIES N EDUCATION THROUGH THE ALTERNATIVE DELIVEY MODE

OPEN HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM AT PAYAPA NATIONAL HGH SCHOOL

Maria Celita B. De Leon

ABSTRACT: This research looked into the status of learners at Payapa National High School in terms of
attending formal schooling. The school is responsible in extending to the learners and also to the community the
value of learning as well as graduating even up to high school only. In the transformational learning theory of
Mezirow (1990) explains how adults learn through such aha moments. The theory is rooted in the belief that
learning takes place when the new meaning is imparted to an earlier experience or an old meaning is
reinterpreted and seen in new light. One stage o this theory is the establishment of personal relevance wherein
the context or the answer to the eternal “what’s-in-it-for-me” question that inspires people and drives learning.
The context can be personal, professional, or social, and you should establish it right at the beginning of the
course to spike interest and reiterate it often to keep learners hooked. Adult learners are motivated to learn when
they can envision the results of their efforts. In this sense the researcher aimed at designing the school-based
implementation guidelines of ADM-OHSP. Descriptive research design was utilized by the researcher in realizing
the problems of the study. Researcher made questionnaire was used in determining the common reasons of
students dropping out from schools. Data from the guidance office on students’ drop-out rates were properly
channeled and requested to the guidance counselor. Basic treatment of data was used; namely; frequency and
weighted mean. The researcher found out that the common reasons for students’ drop-out is that they work as
farmers to earn a living. Also, during the presentation of the research results, the parents of the children were
also excited to go back to school. The suggested program may be implemented in the school. Only learners of
Payapa National High School were included in the study. This is also limited to the baseline data gathering on
learners’ schooling status. This is the first attempt of using a research-based program properly in the research
locale.

INCLUSION IN SPORTS: DISABILITY AND PARTICIPATION

Juana T. Macalagay, Ph. D.

ABSTRACT: The main aim of the study was to analyze the inclusion of differently abled athletes in sports.
Qualitative data were gathered using unstructured interviews while quantitative data were obtained through the
use of questionnaires. The study was conducted in Cavinti INHS which include the coaches/trainers, chaperone
and student-athletes who are differently abled as respondents. Interviews were conducted to determine the
personal experiences and perception of the respondents. Challenges and opportunities and extent of
participation in sports competition were gathered from the questionnaire. The study has revealed the following:
inadequate training, inadequate resources to provide the needs, and lack of equipment and materials for training
in the sports. The qualitative data were limited to the key information provided through interviews by the group of
respondents. Pertinent records were gathered to further support the results.
Limitations and shortcomings include the number of population and certain degree of subjectivity was found.
Inclusivity in education is a philosophy that supports and celebrates diversity including differently abled students.
This includes their participation in sports competition. It is important to note that if the Department of Education’s
aim is to make the curriculum and the system inclusive and non-discriminatory; attention to the needs of student-
athletes must also be in focus. Creating a kind of sports competition for them is not 6.

A PHENOMENOLOGICAL LIVED EXPERIENCES OF THE ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM

TEACHERS IN BULIHAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL SILANG, CAVITE

Joseph S. Butawan

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this research was to understand the lived experiences of ALS teachers and
propose a development plan that will help enhance the educational outcomes of the institution. The subjects of
the study were the selected mobile teachers that experienced to teach not only in ALS Center especially in
depressed areas such as in jail, barangay, streets and the like. The study made used of descriptive qualitative
research design. The salient findings of the study that teachers encourage group activities among the learners
for them to discover their own learning and establish self-confidence. The participants said that dealing with out-
of-school individuals is more challenging compared to regular class students because of how they handle
learners of different occupations, backgrounds and ages. This was focused on the lived experiences of teachers
who used to be assigned and teach in the community. It may provide more in-depth understanding of this
particular phenomenon, and the results are most pertinent only to mobile teachers of ALS. The study clearly
showed the lived experiences faced by the ALS teachers and the extent of the implementation of it into the
institution.

CLUSTER ANALYSIS OF PARENTING STYLE, LEARNING BEHAVIOR AND ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE OF LEARNERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

ABSTRACT: This paper explores the variables regarding the parenting style, academic performance and
learning behavior of students with autism. The study used cluster analysis design. The study provides a clear
distinction between the competencies and characteristics of learners in terms of their academic performance,
learning behavior and parenting style they received at home. The findings of the study revealed that the academic
performance of learners in school determined the cluster of students. Cluster A is the best performing learners
while cluster C is the poorest performing learners. Students in Cluster A perform better in phonemic appreciation,
number recognition, and basic mathematical operation skills. Relationship of other variables are further discussed
in the findings of the study. The research is limited only to using participants with autism. The findings of this
study will only serve as reference for other learners with different disability. This research is the first exploratory
research in inclusive education that target different variables in parenting style, academic performance and
learning behavior. Furthermore, the findings of the study will provide evidence on the significance good parenting
to the social emotional, behavioral and cognitive wellbeing of the learners.

EXPLORING MOTIVATIONS AND CHALLENGES OF EX-CONVICTS, AND THE ROLES OF ALS

IN THEIR REINTEGRATION IN THE MAINSTREAM SOCIETY: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY

Ernie Madra Pamor

ABSTRACT: Studies on ex-prisoner’s reintegration are mostly seen in the context of psychological,
criminological, and sociological perspectives. Limited attention was directed in exploring motivations and
challenges of ex-convicts in the reintegration process through the lens of education. Hence, ten ex-convicts who
graduated from Alternative Learning System were interviewed to examine this phenomenon and how the program
supports them in the process. Thematic analysis employed to the responses of this phenomenological study
revealed that family and friends, religion, and sound philosophies are four primary motivating factors. Social
stigma, unemployment, family-relationship and self-control issues hinder the successful reconnecting to the
community. ALS Program addresses these challenges by providing the certification of learning needed for
employment and skills development, renewing their self-worth and new identities as individuals, and equipping
them with values and attitudes necessary in the world of work. Findings of this inquiry were argued in the context
of reviewing the current educational programs in prison for a possibility of crafting relevant and inclusive prison
education curriculum; designing professional development programs for ALS implementers teaching in prison
cells; and laying future directions of adult learning in basic education sector.

LEARNER-FOCUSED STRATEGIES: AN INTERVENTION FOR ADDRESSING BARRIERS TO

INCLUSION

ABSTRACT: This study aims to examine the conduct of an early intervention program using Learner Focused
Strategies and its impact on learners at-risk for drop-out (LARDO) and learners with special education needs
(LSENs) to keep them in school. It also determines the learner’s profile, specific reasons why they may leave
school early and the appropriate learner-focused strategies as an intervention to address their needs. Moreover,
it identifies several challenges, problems and barriers to inclusion confronting teachers and school administrators.
This study utilized mixed-method research. Drop-Out Reduction Programs (DORP) across 35 public elementary
and secondary schools were examined and analyzed, as well as the Individual Education Plan (IEP) of selected
LSENs from 1 SPED center and from regular schools that cater learners with manifestation of
disability/exceptionality. Teachers and administrators were given Survey Questionnaire, and they also
participated in the Semi-Structured Interview Schedule and Focus Group Discussion. Results of the study
revealed the following: There were 798 learners at risk for drop-out; 294 learners with manifestations of disability/
exceptionalities enrolled in regular schools; 184 LSENs at 1 SPED Center, respectively; teachers and
administrators lack trainings in formulating IEP (Individual Education Plan) for LSENs. There were 19 out of 35
schools which conducted learner-focused strategies to support LARDO and LSENs. Barriers to inclusion include
lack of support from parents, loss of access to the whereabouts of learners and moderately responsive school to
address drop-out concerns. This study focused on the specific strategies to address the needs of potential drop-
outs and LSENs in the Division of General Trias City. Research findings imply that the implementation of viable
intervention to support LARDO and LSENs must be monitored closely and technical assistance should be given
to teachers and administrators. Early intervention program using learner-focused strategies can profile learners’
at-risk for drop-out (LARDO) and learners with special education needs (LSENs) for immediate support. Inclusive
education allows the maximum participation of diverse learners in school.

UNTOLD STORIES: TALES AND DIRECTIONS OF ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEMS IN

ANTIPOLO CITY

Khristian Ross P. Pimentel, MAEd & Mara Angeli V. Baňares, MA ELT

ABSTRACT: Education is a means to equalize opportunities for all, but it can also multiply inequalities when
individuals fail to have one in a society that esteems merits. Through the years, Alternative Learning System
(ALS) has served as a solution to provide education to students who could not follow in the regular classroom
setup, but pressing challenges persist that need to be addressed for the program to succeed. Hence, the
researchers investigated the current situation and track of ALS in Antipolo City. A total of 25 ALS teachers served
as the respondents of the study through descriptive method of research. Data were gathered through test and
interview. Results revealed that there were only 35 Instructional Managers in the entire division of Antipolo
catering a total of 2289 registered regular learners, resulting to a ratio of 1:65 per class. It is also found that some
opted not to teach for they do not receive the quarterly honorarium anymore. Further, ALS teachers had upper
mastery level in their Communication Arts Skills test, but most skills were least mastered. Moreover, like regular
non-English teachers, ALS teachers displayed anxiety when taking a diagnostic test in Communication Arts skills.
Formal schooling strategies and ALS teaching strategies posed some similarities and differences. The untold
stories of teachers in the focus group discussion revealed that much work is needed to strengthen ALS in the
Schools Division Office of Antipolo. SDO-Antipolo has produced outputs as far as ALS is concerned though the
years, but to sustain and improve the program, it has to hear its needs. Among the recommendations were the
following: Refuel the passion of the ALS teachers in teaching by conducting capacity building seminars and
workshops; consider the sentiments of the ALS teachers, and update and check the availability of the appropriate
instructional materials for ALS students; prepare a much reliable and valid test focusing on English proficiency
as well; A&E test should be revisited.

HINDERING AND FACILITATING FACTORS TOWARDS INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AT

MASAGUITSIT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, DISTRICT OF LOBO, DIVISION OF BATANGAS

Niña Quicel A. Abanilla

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this study is to describe the hindering and facilitating factors of school’s
stakeholders towards inclusive education. Inclusive Education offers to cater equal access for all kinds of learners
regardless of ethnicity, gender and disability which benefits not just students but also the whole society. However,
as much as it was helpful, it also brings challenges and issues to the educational system especially when the
school’s stakeholders involved have no idea of the process of inclusion and all the matters included in order to
achieve its success. Using a qualitative research of methodology, findings showed that the success and failure
of inclusive education relies deeply on the acceptance and willingness of the stakeholders to welcome all kinds
of learners, regardless of their disabilities. Through this research, gaps and problems on full implementation of
inclusive education will be given solution to and stakeholders would be equipped with knowledge and skills
needed for successful implementation of the said program.

FACTORS IN DETERMINING PUPILS FOR SPED REFERRAL: BASIS FOR A SCHOOL-BASED

SYSTEMATIC INCLUSIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM

Milain Nabia

ABSTRACT: This study explores the factors considered by the teachers handling pupils referred with disability
at Banay-Banay Elementary School in determining pupils for SPED referral in order to create an inclusive
education program. The respondents for this study were the 6 regular classroom advisers in Banay-Banay
Elementary School, Cabuyao, Laguna for school year 2018-2019. The method of collecting data for this study
was the constructivist methodologies which include in-depth individual semi-structured interviews and direct
observations. The factors considered by the regular teachers are the following: behavior, learning ability, social
skills, span of attention and family factor. Since Banay-Banay Elementary School is not a SPED Center; the
teachers in this school were mostly general education practitioners. Teachers who identified the pupils referred
to special education were only during their instruction through direct observations. The findings of this study in
relation to factors considered and action taken by the school and the teachers to pupils who were referred to
special education would significantly contribute in bringing the advocacy of inclusive education forward in the
school.

STRENGTHENING INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATIONAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT IN SELECTED

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN CAVITE USING CONTEXT-INPUT- PROCESS- PRODUCT MODEL

Gemma L. Romero

ABSTRACT: Planning for individual learning needs has been a salient feature of special education (SpEd). The
SpEd curriculum entails the use of IEP with the intention to provide timely and relevant goals that is unique to
the child`s abilities and limitations. The study involved quantitative phase that aimed to measure the level of
utilization and practices of the selected public school in IEP development with the use of questionnaire. The
qualitative phase extracted the needs based on strengths and weaknesses of the current degree of utilization
and practices in IEP development with the use of focus group discussion and thematic analysis. A total of thirty-
three (33) special education teachers and four (4) administrators from selected public schools in Cavite were the
respondents of the study. Findings from the study revealed that in terms of IEP development framework,
supplementary aids and services ranked as least utilized framework, followed by annual measurable goals. It is
concluded and recommended that in order to strengthen IEP development, the special education teachers and
members of the multi- disciplinary team must be given a program with a set of activities that intends to enhance
the present practices in crafting IEP for students with special needs. Hence, the proposed support program for
SpEd teachers and administrators that is based on the results of this study, is entitled UPRISE: Upgraded
Program for the Reinforcement of IEP for Students with Exceptionalities, a word that describes the need for
enrichment of IEP development program in the field of special education.

TEACHERS’ ONLINE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TO IMPLEMENT INCLUSIVE

EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
Lucena Miranda

ABSTRACT: Teachers’ agency to implement inclusive education in Philippine classrooms depends on the
provision of relevant professional development activities. With teachers’ professional standards explicitly
addressing diversity of learners, this research promotes Web 2.0 technologies for teachers’ professional learning.
Using content analysis as qualitative approach, it examined the posts and comments of 40 teachers and leaders
in Region IVA CALABARZON. Their conversations on Padlet and Messenger as learning platforms were
analyzed based on three posted questions. The participants’ groupings (i.e., regional, division and school) were
also scrutinized under the theoretical underpinnings of Lave and Wenger’s community of practice (1991).
Although the online activities protracted towards the end, the participants became knowledge contributors,
interacting with other members while maintaining meaningful discussions about inclusive education and their
classrooms. Besides being purely online, a month-long duration of conversations limited the capture of a
complete sense of communities of practice. Considering the formation of Learning Action Cells (LAC), these
findings magnify the potentials of online communities as the most suitable venue for teacher knowledge creation
in inclusive education. This also facilitates scaling up current Philippine education practices which may inform
policy and planning for teacher professional development.

ABSTRACT: Inclusive Education is Education for All. For the Dumagat-Remontado learners of Sto. Niňo
Integrated School, this means overcoming language anxiety, standing with and speaking for education
mainstream. This study seeks to establish the relevance of English language in the life of the marginalized
learners to motivate them to enhance their English communication; thus, maximizing learning. The participants
were the purposively selected 16 learners at-risk of failing first quarter. Using Learning Style Analysis survey, the
researcher found majority (69 percent) of the respondents are Visual Learners, 19 percent Auditory, 6 percent
Visual/Tactile-Kinesthetic and 6 percent Tactile/Kinesthetic. Also, 81 percent are Introverted while 19 percent are
Extroverted. All of them were given the self-paced Les CuBE PIES kit at the start of second quarter. Teachers
recorded an average .08 percent increase in learners’ oral and written performance. The progress report card
showed an average improvement of 11 percent. 2 of them graduated with honors; 13 went to college, and 3
found employment. Conclusively, Les CuBE PIES is effective. It was content- and technical-validated by the
SDO-Rizal LRMDS, and now being rolled-out in other year levels at Sto. Nino Integrated School.

LISTENING TO STUDENTS’ VOICES: A PARTICIPATORY APPROACH

IN IMPROVING TEACHING AND LEARNING

Ryan Villahermosa, Roanne Mendoza, Rose Ann Bobadilla & Emelinda Javier

ABSTRACT: The role of inclusive research in understanding inclusive education has been globally emphasized
in literature. Promoting inclusive education in a newly established senior high school, students in this study were
actively involved as co-creators of knowledge with the aim of transforming pedagogies and classrooms. This
study employed grounded theory approach (Strauss and Corbin, 1998) in repeatedly examining the data from
the actual participation of 30 purposely selected students who expressed their voices on the learning experiences
that they had in the first two months of school. Allowing students to become co-creator and co-interpreter of
information, the analysis presents richer knowledge on how learning environments such as senior high school
classrooms and grounds can be transformed into inclusive educational settings. Although it was easy to collect
data, the source which is in the form of documents could be incomplete and limited the researchers in probing
information that needed clarification. Inclusive research is crucial in understanding epistemic diversity, which is
a domain in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). This allows teachers and learners to
further view education with greater consideration of their acquired knowledge and where everyone in the learning
process benefits.

teachers and students. This research use mixed method. The result shows that in terms of behavior, 28% of will
be able to participate successfully, 48% requires behavior modification, 24% needs specialized instruction.In
terms of academic, there were 0% student who will likely be able to participate successfully in the Regular
Classroom,18% require support from a shadow teacher and 64% need specialized instruction. Teachers think
that classroom setting and curriculum that will fit their needs while the students were adjusting with their SPED
classmate. This research is limited in determining the readiness of 25 ID students. This research is essential in
crafting enhancement program for school without SPED teachers but cannot deny the students of quality

ASSESSMENT OF THE OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS WITH

MILD INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES AT SEN. CLARO M. RECTO MEMORIAL INTEGRATED
SCHOOL: BASIS FOR A TRANSITION PROGRAM ACTION PLAN

ABSTRACT: This study focused on assessing the occupational training performance (OTP) of selected students
with Mild Intellectual Disabilities (SMID). And formulate suggestions that could enhance the existing transition
program (TP) of Sen. Claro M. Recto Memorial Integrated School, Lipa City. Interview, observation and document
analysis were utilized in this study and nine SMID aged 19-25 years and six teachers -supervisors of the OTP
participated The study found out that majority of SMID were perceived as very satisfactory in their OTP and
practical tasks related to being a canteen aide (CA) and kindergarten teacher aide (KTA). On the other hand,
prompt dependence caused unsatisfactory performance of some SMID. This study concludes that an action plan
that encompasses transition assessment, school based training and on- site job coaching and training could
improve the existing TP for SMID. The study was limited to nine SMID on the TP identified by the researcher and
deemed by the teachers –supervisors more capable and functional. It was conducted from October 2018 to
March 2019. The results of this study would be a good basis to improve the existing TP in the entire Division of
Lipa City.

MODALITIES OF RESPONSIVE PRACTICES AND PERSPECTIVES ON CURRICULUM

DELIVERY FOR INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY

Alona A. Encinares*, Leonardo C. Cargullo* & Alfred James Ellar**

ABSTRACT: For the past seven years since the publication of the DepEd Order No. 62, s. 2011 also entitled as:
“Adopting National Indigenous People Education Policy Framework”, the Department of Education has been
continuously promoting the educational welfare of the indigenous communities in the entire country. Accordingly,
this research project aimed to describe, and consequently, to interpret the modes of curriculum delivery in
Putingkahoy, Rosario, Batangas, so as to capture insights and implications in order to improve such practices to
constructively response to the cultural needs of the Aetan community, in accordance to the prescribed learning
outcomes and competencies of K to 12 enhanced basic education curriculum. Using the method of qualitative-
quantitative triangulation, the study revealed various modalities of responsive practices in curriculum delivery
under the social constructivism as primary perspective in education, as manifested in those modes of practices.
The results of the findings revealed that the mainstream classroom status of IP learners is prone to deterioration
of their conscious of cultural identity. On the other hand, their exposure to such classroom environment geared
the IP learners to develop inquisitiveness and open-mindedness to the wider social scenario. Nevertheless,
taking into consideration the establishment of specialized class for IP learners with designated IP facility among
other suggestions may facilitate the preservation of cultural identity of IP learners, while engaging progressively
towards 21st century lifelong learning skills and competencies

Mark Christian A Medina, Maria Carolina B Lacbay & Darius D Ofrin

ABSTRACT: The study is intended to assess the “Padyak ng Pangarap Project” initiated during the school year
2017-2018 which provided bicycles among students living in far and poorly accessible places. The study sought
to provide understanding of “Education for All” (EFA) goals as the basis for the project. The study employed
mixed methods in gathering and interpreting data. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed
in concurrent triangulation method. Respondents and participants were the recipient of the project, teachers, and
the community. The study was anchored on “Locke’s Goal Setting Theory” wherein order to achieve general
goals, one must address achieving smaller goals. Addressing students’ attendance may increase the probability
of achieving academic goals. The study revealed that teachers “strongly agreed” that the “Padyak ng Pangarap
Project” provided positive effect on educational delivery, educational accessibility, students’ sociological
adaptation, and learners’ study habits. The`se results can also be compared to the verbal responses of the
student-recipients having generated the common themes “improved time management”, “good condition to
access school”, “developed shared responsibility”, and “motivation to study”. Likewise, representative members
of the community “strongly agreed” that “Padyak ng Pangarap” project emanates good advocacy. The study
focused on the effects of padyak ng pangarap project on the selected recipients. Recipients’ socioeconomic
status, attitude towards study, and other related factors were not assessed as contributory to research findings.

SANTA ROSA CITY LAGUNA

Darlene S. Quijada

ABSTRACT: Life skills level of the twenty special education students from the Division of Santa Rosa City was
determined for the purpose of modifying the curriculum to meet the special needs of the students. Purposive
sampling was used for this study. A survey on the socio-demographic profile and focus group discussions with
the parents were conducted. The study was anchored on the Ten Core Life Skills of the World Health
Organization and the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education. The findings
revealed that parents have gone through similar stages of denial and frustration. They agreed that the most
crucial core life skill that must be learned were Effective Communication and Problem Solving Skills. Research
findings did not represent the sentiments of the general population due to varying degrees of severity across all
categories of disabilities and a small sample size was used for this study. A holistic approach was used in order
to see the big picture of What’s In It For Me (WIIFM) “What future awaits the special needs students given their
current life skills level?” The discussion ended with the shared optimism of the parents despite the uncertainties
of the future.

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to assess the accessibility of Lobo District to inclusive education as
schools and educational institutions are expected to render services for all children and youth including
learners with special educational needs (LSENs). The Department of Education reported that still only
2% of children with special educational needs are currently able to access educational opportunities
because of the barriers of accessibility they face. Inclusive education is practiced at Lobo District but
there are matters of concern regarding the accessibility towards it. Using descriptive method of
research, respondents who were comprised of 50 regular teachers, 40 regular pupils and 25 parents
of LSENs answered a self rated questionnaire to assess the accessibility to inclusive education.
Findings revealed that there is a need for enhancing teachers’ competence, physical facilities, teaching
materials, and medical services to promote accessibility. However, parents and regular pupils were
considered ready enough to embrace inclusive education. Through this research, problems and issues
with regards to accessibility would hopefully be addressed for intensified inclusive education

“WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS?”: A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Dennis B. Masangcay & Mary Anne E. Ramos

ABSTRACT: This study was geared towards the conceptual framing of participation of parents in the senior high
school through qualitative inquiry. The paper described how parents interact with the school for the monitoring of
their children that is believed to have positive impacts to students’ academic achievement. Despite of the well-
defined relationship of parental support to students’ performance in school, this research described the transition
of parenting from the time students enter schooling to the current level, senior high school. It extended the
understanding about the effect of student independence to school parental involvement.
This study utilized qualitative research design, specifically, phenomenological approach to extract the essential
themes and constructs as reflected to the objectives. For the sampling of the participants, the paper employed
purposive sampling with four males and four females taking academic track strands such as STEM, ABM,
HUMMS and GAS in the division of Batangas City. Data gathering used semi-structured interview with aid of the
validated researchers’ made interview guide. Data were processed through manual coding and thematic analysis
(Braun & Clarke, 2006) of the interview transcriptions.
Based from the findings of the study, the student participants expressed their experiences about how their parents
are involved in school. Data reveal that parents interact with the school through 1) participating in some activities,
2) attending in meetings and orientations, and 3) cooperating with teachers as the need arises. The responses
of the participants about the transition of parental involvement in school express that attendance of their parents
subsides due to 1) expected student independence and 2) recognized good academic performance.
The data gathered are limited to the chosen participants based on their sex and strand. The insights and themes
were grounded to the experiences of the participants and the family orientation they have.
As revealed from different studies, parental involvement in school positively affects students’ academic
performance, this research eyed for unraveling the participation of parents in school in the senior high school
level. The primary constructs of the study could establish significant notions about sustainable parental
involvement in school.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, education is rapidly changing because of technological advancement. Educational

institutions should cope with these changes; otherwise, they will no longer be relevant in the society. Crucial in
the implementation of the changes in the curriculum to cater to the challenges of the 21st century teaching and
learning is the role of the teachers who deliver the instructional services in the classroom. Their preparedness
and acceptance to these changes are vital in the realization of the goals of any academic institution for it to
become a 21st century school. With De La Salle Lipa’s introduction of the four strategic directions of Social
Innovation, Shared Humanity, Sustainable Futures and Stakeholders Engagement, the institution has ventured
to become a digital campus gearing towards the realization of 21st century education and the development of
21st century skills among the students. Using quantitative research, this study was conducted using survey
questionnaire. Data were gathered from 66 teachers from the Integrated School of De La Salle Lipa through
online answering. Gathered data were then tallied and interpreted using descriptive statistics of frequency count,
percentage and weighted mean while Chi-Square Test was used to test the hypotheses. Results revealed that
there is a high frequency on the use of technology as a tool for learning as well as a high extent on the use of
collaborative teaching and learning practices.

CHEMISTRY 1

Russel T. Soltura

ABSTRACT: This study test the effectiveness of 5E’s learning model instructional material for STEM in General
Chemistry 1. Difficult topics in General Chemistry 1 were determined during the first semester. The respondents
were the Grade 12 students enrolled in STEM strand and the teachers of the four selected schools within Quezon
Province, S.Y. 2018 – 2019. Purposive sampling was used. Questionnaires were developed to determine the
difficult topics, the factors that make the topics difficult in the subject and the level of acceptability of the material.
The material and achievement tests were validated. Teachers perceived stoichiometry, gases, and electronic
structure of the atom as difficult topics. Learning environment, nature of the topics, student and teacher-related
factors made the topics difficult. The material included the difficult topics only. There is a significant difference
between the two groups using posttest scores after they used the material. Therefore, the null hypothesis was
rejected. The application of 5E’s learning model in General Chemistry 1 is an innovation in the SHS which is
ready for adoption and can be utilized as a teaching approach since it is an effective and acceptable tool in
learning.

John Carlo A. Paita & Katherine M. Pastrana

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to examine the blended learning model by investigating the impact
of a flipped classroom paired with tiered activities on SHS TVL classrooms. The experimental method of research
was used. Sources of data were the pre-test, reports of video completion, lesson checks and exit slips through
the use of a virtual classroom and performance task. Research-made test and an open-ended survey
questionnaire were used to gather data. Mean percentage score and the Hake Factor was used as the statistical
tools.
There was a difference of 0.36 (or 36%) in the gain of scores between the controlled and uncontrolled group in
the use of the lesson checks and exit slips. In addition, based on the results of the performance task used by the
participants it presents the mean percentage scores for the controlled and uncontrolled group, which are 93.06%
and 88.42%, respectively. This reveals that controlled group performs better in written and performance tasks
than the uncontrolled one.
The researchers came up with an innovative teaching strategy that teachers can use to increase student
achievement in Technical-Vocational-Livelihood Classroom. It will be adopted to be part of the strategic
intervention material to be developed by the teachers.

A CASE STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF EARLY NUMERACY SKILLS THROUGH

INTENTIONAL TEACHING WITHIN PLAY-BASED LEARNING

Catherine B. Gonzaga

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to investigate on how intentional teaching within the context of a play-based
learning environment can develop numeracy skills of Kindergarten learners in Dulongbayan Elementary School.
Based on some educators’ perspective, play-based instruction could be in contradiction with structured learning.
Hence, the study discussed the successes and challenges encountered if such teaching approach is
implemented. A mixed model research design was used in this research. A pre-test and post-test design was
used to establish the level of numeracy skills of randomly selected learners while interviews and focus group
discussions were conducted to gain in depth knowledge of the pre-selected teachers’ perspective about
developing numeracy skills through intentional teaching within play-based environment. Certain critical early
developmental numeracy precursors are not explicitly included in the curriculum guide for Kindergarten (2016).
Most of the learners were able to significantly improve their numeracy skills except in “number conservation”,
“number combinations”, “story problems” and “counting subsets”. Teachers were positively appreciative and
accepting of implementing such approach, but were constricted with their limited environment, experience and
exposure in implementing play-based activities. The observations from this research are dependent on the
learners and teachers background. Inherent physiological and psychological biases from the participants due to
the nature of the setting of the study (within the school and/or within the context of the community they are living
in) may have impacted on the study. A number of researches provide rich literature on the benefits of using play-
based learning strategies. However, some say that play-based instruction could be in contradiction with
structured learning. The purposeful incorporation of “intentional teaching” as an approach to childhood learning
was emphasized as value to this research.

ABSTRACT: Learning is an endless and lifelong process. It must be accessible, purposeful and intentional to
every learner to help him or her survives, achieve his or her goals and showcase his or her potential to its fullest.
In the past hundred decades, books are widely used and the most available print reading material. Due to the
rise and advancement of technology, it affects most of the learners’ interest to read, use and being dependent to
books and other materials imprinted on paper. To make use of the purpose of its ascent, the teachers and
administrators have revitalized (R) the learning competencies, observed (O) and identified the best and least
mastered skills, yielded (Y) results from the assessment, analyzed (A) the data, managed (M) resources,
organized (O) the knowledge and skills, leveled-up (L) to strengthen the weak skills, applied (A) what have
learned, nurtured (N) the model, drawn (D) feedbacks, and assessed (A) the content of the model. The ROY A.
MOLANDA model was disclosed that the teachers in public school regardless of their teaching competency
levels, who are the first of the two respondents have concluded to have the social concern with their clienteles
and that the diverse elementary school learners learn most in an environment with courtesy, respect, and gender-
fair, with parents involvement to school activities, and with teachers who are abreast with the current trends and
thrust related to pedagogy. The administrators, who are the second respondents, have to knobbed the pupils’
problem qquickly and veraciously but with respect to their rights. The ROY A. MOLANDA used descriptive method
and had found out that this was an effective and helpful model to teachers who are teaching and students who
are taking Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP) subject, and which can be accessed, learned and

A MINUTE TO ACE IT!: A STEP TOWARD ENHANCING CONVERSAATIONAL ENGLISH

COMPETENCE OF THE LEARNERS

Pablo A. Regalario & Romano M. Balbacal

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to evaluate the learner's conversational English competence, determine the
effects of "A Minute to ACE it!" approach to the conversational English competence of the learners and the
possibility of ots adoption for all English-related subjects. A qualitative design was utilized where triangulation
method was used to muster the data necessary for the study. Respondents were chosen using purposive
sampling that focused only on those learners who found it hard to communicate orally. A standard grading matrix
was crafted by the researcher to assess the respondents' speeches from the first all the way to the last try.
Results of the paper revealed the significant improvement manifested by the respondents after utilizing the
concept mapping on the third trial where majority of the respondents finished the activity and showed significant
improvement. Moreover, the respondents were also able to follow the steps required and adapt the suggested
techniques easily. However, the proposed exercise requires longer period of time to cater all learners due to the
needed competence that needs to be followed for each class from time to time. A lot of strategies have been
employed in the academe but those are found to be inutile as shown by the 8 percent decline in English
proficiency (Hopkins International, 2015). Nonetheless, adapting this strategy may not only improve the learners'
conversational skills but may motivate them to do more because they proved that they can improve. Despite the
simplicity of the concept, the idea is unique because no school has adopted the concept yet.

A PERFORMANCE-BASED APPROACH TO ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE OF GRADE SIX

PUPILS IN SCIENCE

Bryan A. Llorente

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research is to understand and the effectiveness of Performance-Based
Approach or Learning helps the learners to enhance their performance in Science. Helps the teachers to ensure
part knowledge or context in science subject especially in grade six pupils. Performance-Based is when students
participate in performing tasks or activities that are meaningful and engaging. The purpose of this kind of learning
is to help students acquire and apply knowledge, practice skills, and develop independent and collaborative work
habits. The culminating activity or product for performance-based learning is one that lets a student demonstrate
evidence of understanding through a transfer of skills. A performance-based assessment is open-ended and
without a single, correct answer, and it should demonstrate authentic learning, such as the creation of a
newspaper or class debate. The benefit of performance-based assessments is that students who are more
actively involved in the learning process absorb and understand the material at a much deeper level. Other
characteristics of performance-based assessments are that they are complex and time-bound. Performance-
based activities can be challenging for students to complete. They need to understand from the beginning exactly
what is being asked of them and how they will be assessed. This study used the experimental research design
as it aims to show that performance based approach help to enhance the performance of grade six pupils in
science. The result of this entire study will be completed on October which will be right in time for this year’s
conference on November for oral presentation. This study is however limited to the research locale – Milagrosa
Elementary School where the researcher is currently teaching since this will be beneficial to the teaching-learning
process for the learners. This action research will employ the teachers who are teaching science in Milagrosa
Elementary School that are aligned to the Project SPARK implemented by the Division of Calamba City.

A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY EXAMINING THE WORK IMMERSION EXPERIENCES OF

CAINTA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Roy A. Discutido

ABSTRACT: Schooling is indeed a preparation for the reality outside the four corners of the classroom and the
entire community must be involved in order to develop the child's knowledge and skill while realizing its practical
use in everyday life. As per D. O. 30 s. 2017, senior high students must have at least 80 hours of work immersion.
This study explored the work immersion experiences of the students and its impact on them; unfolded the
significant human experiences of the learners in a workplace; and delved into their perceptions, perspectives,
understandings, and feelings during their work immersion. This study utilized qualitative phenomenological
approach using focus group discussion (FGD) as means to gather data regarding the lived experiences of the
respondents in the study. Collaizi process for phenomenological data analysis was utilized in order to extract
themes from the answers of the respondents. Based on the data gathered, the respondents viewed work
immersion as an unfamiliar territory to explore and worthwhile experience that prepared them to their preferred
exit. The respondents perceived work immersion as an avenue to apply their technical skills. Moreover, the
challenges they experienced taught them life lessons like being assertive, punctuality means respecting
somebody else’s time and money, and “pakikisama”. The respondents stressed that the following work related
attitudes were developed during their work immersion: discipline, love for work, humility, respect, and honesty.
This study holistically presents the significance of work immersion as one of the learning experiences of senior
high school students. The results of this research contributes to the repertoire of studies aiming to understand
human experiences specifically the learners which may serve as bases for decision making or improving the
existing system or methodologies in teaching and learning.

A PROPOSED INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY-BASED

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL IN TEACHING GRADE 9 EDUKASYON SA PAGPAPAKATAO IN
THE FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN QUEZON

Rica Dapadap

ABSTRACT: Educators know the benefits of ICT based materials in teaching however, even though they know
the benefits of ICT based instructional materials many of them are resistant to use and integrate technologies in
teaching. This is due to several factors lack of time, lack of infrastructure and tools to support the teachers and
the learners more effectively. The lack of ICT skills is a common problem which can be addressed by having the
personal desire to develop oneself. Some of the traditional teachers experienced difficulties in using ICT based
instructional materials in teaching Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao. This study utilized a descriptive survey method
using frequency, percentage, weighted mean distribution and one-way anova as statistical tools. It determined
A Proposed Information and Communication Technology- Based Instructional Material’s acceptability and
usability in teaching Grade 9 in the Fourth Congressional District of Quezon with 21 Secondary School Teachers
as respondents. It employs purposive sampling as its respondents were teachers teaching Edukasyon sa
Pagpapatao in selected schools in District 4. Findings revealed that the majority of the teachers were at the age
bracket of 31 to 40 years old, females and with a length of service between 1-10 years. The respondents’ view
on ICT use in their schools is in need of teachers to enrich their knowledge and capabilities in using technology.
On professional views on computer technology, it exemplified that the school increases academic achievement
(e.g grades). Along with support to teachers for ICT, it elicited that the introductory courses on internet use and
general application (basic word-processing, spread sheets, presentations, database, etc.) When it comes to ICT
access for teaching, it reflected that both teachers and students use computer. units and internet. In terms of
conditions on the access in classes, it illustrated that there is in need of computer laboratory. The perceived
quality of the proposed information and communication technology based materials is very good in their school.
There is a high acceptability of ICT proposed instructional materials in terms of relevance to the subject matter
and impact to students’ performance.

Dearborn E. Villafrance

ABSTRACT: The study attempted to find out the activities of the teachers during the required two-hour period
within or outside school and to propose a work plan to guide the teachers. The study used content analysis
through interviews. The researchers also made observations. A total of 12 teachers of Pulo Elementary School
served as major respondents of the study. The responses during the interview showed that the activities of the
teachers during the required two-hour period within or outside school were: (1) preparation of DLL and
instructional materials (2) intervention with struggling readers (3) training of pupils for competitions. This study is
limited to Pulo Elementary School teachers. A proposed work plan is suggested to guide teachers on how they
spend the required two-hour period. A list of possible activities in the work plan was culled from DepEd
Memorandum 291. The study may be helpful to the SDO Cabuyao in their crafting of policies, standards or
mechanism to account for the teachers’ required output for two (2) hours. The research is heuristic since it used
the experiences and views of the teachers in the appropriate activities during the required two-hour period within
or outside school.

A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON THE PROBLEMS AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE GRADE IV

STUDENTS IN LODLOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: THE USE OF DIFFERENTIATED
INSTRUCTION IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS

Ayrin G. Pacifico

ABSTRACT: The primary aim of this study was to identify problems and achievements experienced by students
despite the use of differentiated instruction. It is a qualitative research design in which data collection is based
on a specific phenomenon experienced by a specific group of people in a specific context. The findings showed
that each group was interviewed in an informal setting so that the participants can feel free in giving their
experiences and answer to every question the researcher threw to them. Ten to fifteen minutes were given to
the researcher to do the interview. With the help of the audio recorder in her phone, she was able to get the data
verbatim. The researcher personally asked every group about their learning experiences under the Differentiated
Instruction. Students were oriented to share only situations and incidents they personally experienced and to
share only notions true to him/her personally and not what he/she observed concerning his classmate. Through
this study, the Mathematics teacher can help the learners reduce their Math anxiety. Future researcher may
contact studies that may either or both similar or related to this current study in another research locale and they
may use this study for reference.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop the reading profile in terms of word recognition and reading
comprehension of the Grade 7 Instructional level students of Bulata National High School in the Division of
Negros Occidental. The researcher employed a quasi-experimental design in investigating the key concepts.
Also, the researcher used Frequency Count, Percentage Distribution, and z test as the statistical tools of the
study. The researcher conducted Focus Group Discussion in determining the factors that hindered reading which
include difficulties in Sounding of the vowels and consonants, lack of time in reading at home, lack of interest to
read, lack of interest to read, and inadequate reading materials. On the pretest, there were 50 students who
belonged to Frustration level but it changed dramatically in the posttest which showed that there were only 19
belonged to Frustration level, 28 were on Instructional level, and only three (3) were on Independent level. Also,
it showed a significant difference in the results of the reading profile of the learners before and after the
intervention. There were three (3) global themes: RA-TA-TA is a gateway to different skills, learning happens
when basic skills were mastered, and enjoyment is the key to learning.

ABSTRACT: This replication tracer study was conducted in the context of Tanza National Trade School to
assess the demographic, sociographic, and academic profile of the Senior High School pioneering graduates of
SY 2017-2018. Identical to the original study, it followed the research study design of DepEd Cavite’s Tracer
Study by Inductivo and Velasco (2019) which was both quantitative and qualitative survey. It employed purposive
sampling technique which is suited to the number of samples available and it utilized the online survey-type form
and its pen-and-paper-survey counterpart to collect data for statistical treatment (percentage and frequency
occurrence). The findings of this study revealed that the initiative of the school administration had been effective
in its goal to inform the students of their career choices under the K to 12 Curriculum through its Career Guidance
Program. Also, majority of the academic aspects covered in the study obtained positive outcome despite the
weaknesses that it has exposed relative to the needs on the globalization and intercultural skills for 21st century
graduates. Indeed, the noble practices of the teachers will be sustained while the factors which need
improvement will be addressed by leading LAC sessions in all learning areas and In-service Trainings for the
Senior High School Department. This study is limited to the theoretical aspect of replication research.

Ma.Christina R.Beli & Lawrence C.Consul

ABSTRACT: This study aims to explicate the experiences of teachers teaching subjects different from their
specialization and to analyze it simplications in producing quality education.The study construes on the lived
experiences of teachers handling subjects they never used to teach and its impact to the overall performance of
the students This study employed the qualitative- quantitative research designs in investigating the lived
experiences of the out of field teachers through a survey interview and observation. The misalignment of teachers
to their specialization is evident both in JHS and SHS. It reveals that handling subjects beyond ones’ expertise
has pros and cons in teaching. The solicited interview reveals that teachers are flexible individual, however,
giving them subjects different from their major reduces their expertise of the subject and one way or another
affects both teachers and students’ performances. It implies that rectifying teachers to their specialization makes
the teachers and students more productive.

Dindo M. Gabales & Belinda C. Del Rosario

ABSTRACT: The 21st-century learners’ acquisition of relevant learning experiences through digital interactivity
is the prime goal of the teachers in the 21st-century learning environment. With these demands, interactive
instructional material was developed and employed in the teaching and learning process to investigate its
effectiveness on the learners’ academic performance, learning experiences and challenges encountered by the
students. A non-equivalence pretest-posttest quasi experimental design to investigate students’ academic
performance and Photovoice were employed to elicit the learning experiences and challenges of students in the
use of digital interactive instructional material. The data on students’ academic performance were treated using
the mean, standard deviation, frequency and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and SHOWed Model and
thematic analysis were used to gather and analyze students’ learning experience, challenges and coping
mechanisms. The findings revealed that most of the students from experimental group who were exposed to the
iSM4RTS Innovation increased their level of proficiency to Very Satisfactory (VS). Furthermore, the result of the
Analysis of Covariance unfolded that there is a 0.00 significant coefficient which means that there is a significant
difference on the increase of scores among the learners in the experimental group exposed to digital interactive
instructional materials. Moreover, students consider the use of digital interactive instructional materials as (1)
comprehensive and enlightening; (2) Fun and interesting; (3) Independent learning. However, challenges were
identified in the use of digital interactive instructional materials. These are (1) Broadness of the topic, (2) Learning
Pace and (3) Students’ ICT Competence, (3). With these challenges, coping mechanisms and recommendations
were identified. These are: (1) Self-study, (2) Differentiated Instructions, (3) Induction of ICT Utilization, and (4)
Curriculum Review.

ACADEMIC STRESS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 11 STUDENTS IN SAN

PABLO CITY SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL: BASIS FOR STRESS MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE
INITIATIVES

Aimee Joy A. Javilagon

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the level of academic stress
experienced by Grade 11 students in a public high school in San Pablo City and their academic performance. It
also aimed to explore the most dominant sources of academic stress among students and their experiences with
such. A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was used. It is a two-phase mixed methods design wherein
qualitative data help explain or build upon initial quantitative results. In the quantitative phase, two hundred thirty
two (232) Grade 11 students participated in survey and correlational methods. In the qualitative phase, fifteen
(15) Grade 11 students selected through stratified random sampling participated in the focus group discussion.
Results showed that there was a strong positive correlation between academic stress and academic
performance. Their most dominant academic stressors were teacher-related factors namely teachers’ critical
comments on student performance, unrealistic deadlines set by teachers for the submission of outputs, and
amount of course requirements. Their experiences related to these top academic stressors revolved on five
themes: overwhelming requirements with simultaneous deadlines, insufficient time to comply with requirements,
pressures to perform, lack of time for self and family, and impacts of cognitive performance in relation to well-
being. While the locale of the study is a competitive science high school, its recommendation to coordinate
schedules of major assignments and tests and for school counselors to develop stress management guidance
initiatives can help students to effectively manage academic stress regardless of their school environments.
Identifying top academic stressors and understanding how students experience them would facilitate the
development of effective stress management guidance initiatives in order to help students alleviate stress.

ACADEMIC WRITING OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: A NEEDS ANALYSIS OF EAPP

IN BANABA WEST INTEGRATED SCHOOL

Leila M. Seco, Ed.D

ABSTRACT: This study focused on the academic writing skills of senior high school students in Banaba West
in SY 2018-2019. Despite the instruction and academic writing activities provided in the EAPP subject, the
academic writing skills remained inadequate for most students. The study aimed to provide insight into the
common pre-requisite skill deficits and the positive influences necessary to enhance writing skills of SHS
students. The research utilized an applied qualitative case study design using data collected from a purposive
sample of 10 respondents. A thematic qualitative analysis was derived from interviews and qualitative
assessments of student writing samples. The common writing skill deficits of SHS students include paragraph
and sentence structuring, grammar and tense usage, language use, citing sources and other mechanics of
writing. Thus, this research indicates a great need for the students’ development of pre-requisite skills in writing
at a wide range. The findings pointed out the necessity of formulating a writing improvement program that will be
integrated in the teaching of EAPP to address the deficit in the pre-requisites skills of students in academic
writing. The heuristic approach used in this study allowed the analysis of writing difficulties that guided the
formation of a push-in intervention project.

Results revealed that in view of the respondents level of writing skills, it was revealed that in terms of punctuation
the writing skill level was average, in terms of correct spelling the level was high, correct grammar got low and
capitalization was interpreted very low. Relative to the academic performance of the respondents in terms of
written works, performance task and quarterly assessment, most of the respondents belong to satisfactory level
of academic performance both in the first and second quarter. Furthermore, in view of the respondents level of
writing skills and sex, only spelling and grammar had a significant difference therefore the null hypothesis is
rejected. Relative to the significant relationship between student writing skill and academic performance in
English only spelling, grammar and capitalization had a significant relationship, therefore the null hypothesis is
rejected. Findings were used to craft a proposed intervention program for writing. The research provided
significant data on the academic writing skills of the selected students leading to the proposed intervention
program for writing.

ACCEPTABILITY OF MOBILE APPLICATION AS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL IN GRADE 7

Philip John L. Ilao

ABSTRACT: This study aims to let the respondents assess and evaluate the acceptability of mobile application
as instructional material in Grade 7. The descriptive–developmental method of research was used in the
development and evaluation of the developed instructional module in the teaching of Asian history in Grade 7.
Purposive sampling was used for the teacher-respondents and no sampling method was utilized for the student-
respondent because all of them were used in this research. The researcher utilized purposive sampling for the
teacher-respondents so that only the Araling Panlipunan teachers teaching History or Social Studies were
included in the study. The result of evaluation of the respondents on mobile application as instructional material
showed no significant difference in functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, portability and compliance.
However, there is significant difference in maintainability of mobile application due to confusion of the
respondents on how the mobile application be maintained and modified. With respect to all variables, namely
functionality, reliability, usability, efficiently, maintainability, portability and compliance, as assessed by the
student-respondents, the over-all weighted mean obtained was 3.47 interpreted as “Strongly Agree”. As
assessed by the teacher-respondents, the over-all weighted mean obtained was 3.80 verbally interpreted as

ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL IN MATHEMATICS OF GRADE 7 STUDENTS USING PROBLEM-BASED

LEARNING (PBL) THROUGH MOBILE APPS GAME

Angelito Encierto Cello

ABSTRACT: This research is aims to improve the Mean Percentage Score of Sta. Lucia National High School’s
grade 7 students through Fundamental Operations on Integers via Mobile Apps. This action research utilized an
innovative teaching method and learning approach using Math Master. This mobile app is a mathematical puzzle
game which consist of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, mix of multiplication, equality, true or
false and memory.
Each mathematical puzzle game has nine levels and awards a score or point for every correct response. The
teacher-researcher prepared ten (10) items for each operation. He also considered these to find the mean of the
percentage of correct response per item every PBL -mobile apps which he integrated in the lessons. There are
also ten (10) of the same question which were considered to find the mean of the percentage of correct response
of items without PBL-mobile apps. The study revealed that there is a significant increase in Mean Percentage
Score after the suppplement of problem-based learning. The respondents were limited to 100 students from
grade 7 of Sta. Lucia National High School for this school year 2019 – 2020. The implication of the study is that
students learn better if via problem-based learning that is manipulative, interactive and visual in nature. Aside
from helping make math more appealing to the students by providing enjoyment,the app also informed the
respondent of any mathematical error privately and personally. This lessens the discomfort for the students and
gives them the opportunity to find the correct solution and answer on their own pace and on their own efforts.
This action research would be of great help to improve the learners’ achievement level in mathematics. This
mobile app is an intervention that can be inserted during the difficulty of discussion preferably sign number in
any grade level.

John Cyrus L. Doblada & Ronnie B. Rodrigo

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to improve problem – solving skills of the students in the critical contents
of Physics 8. This study utilized experimental design. Thirty (30) students were purposively selected based from
their performance in Physics 8. Students were categorized depending on their skills in problem – solving. Item
analysed pre test; content and construct validated regular problem – solving remediation activities were
administered to the four groups of students prior to the used of A.P.P. Material. After the use of A.P.P. material,
the result of the performance of the student was supported by a validated post test administered. The pre – test
and post test results from the experimental group were also compared to the control group comprising of twenty
two students that uses regular remediation material. Data were statistically analyzed using dependent t – test for
the significant difference on the results of problem – test using A.P.P. Material and regular remediation material.
Dependent t- test is also used for the significant difference on the pre - test and post test results of the
respondents. In addition, Cohen d was used to determine the how large is the effect of the material to the learning
of the respondents. The results showed that A.P.P. remediation material provides better learning outcomes to
regular remediation and has a very large improvement to the problem – solving skills of the respondents. This
study focuses only on addressing the problem – solving skills of students on Critical Contents of Physics 8
identified by the DepEd CALABARZON in their survey across the region. ADAPTIVE strategy addresses the
styles of the learners. What makes the A.P.P. remediation material innovative, it does not only apply adaptive
approach but also applies PROGRESSIVE and PARALLEL approach. The material is progressive because it
develops the basic problem - solving skills of the learners before proceeding to complex skills. It is parallel
because the sets of problems attain same competencies though they were tailored - fit to student’s capabilities.

Pablo A. Regalario & Ludivina R. Tumambing

ABSTRACT: The problem on students'' tardiness has been plaguing the academe for several decades now.
Numerous strides have been made to eradicate this behavior but those steps were found to be inutile. Hence,
this study was conducted to find out the causes of tardiness among Lipa City Senior High School students and
devise a strategy that would limit the learners' tardiness. Purposive sampling was used in the study was used in
the study where the researchers selected 141 students from grade 11 who were reported to commit habitual and
occasional tardiness based on the anecdotal records and attendance sheet obtained from the advisers and class
monitors. Results of the study revealed that of the 181 registered learners, 54 students or 30% are habitually
tardy, and 87 or 48% of the students are occasionally tardy. Moreover, it was also found out that attitude ranked
first among the causes of tardiness with 29 frequency of occurences. the result was attributed to teacher's lack
of monitoring, irrelevant sanctions and parents'refusal to cooperate with the school. Among th reasons
mentioned, the researchers classified them according to controllability to determine the area that needs to be
priorotized and may be addressed right away. Root cause analysis revealed that irrelevant sanctions was the
one that needs immediate attention. Personal journal was developed to let the students write their experiences
and reflections fromthe project and nother reinforcement during the culminating activity. Pledge of comitment
was also crafted to instill the sense of responsibility among the learners. Despite the cliché on the issue. The
strategy adopted was unique and helpful for it lets the learners learn and reflect from their experiences and share
with others what they have learned in the process.

academics and pro-social behavior by redefining common forms of misconduct as unattractive behavior for
pupils. This study was limited only to twenty two (22) Pupils in Sta.Maria Magdalena Elementary School during
school year 2018-2019, who need to solve the disruptive behaviors of pupils inside the school and classroom.
Based of the findings of the study, The level of self-concept of the behaved pupils was very high, while their
counter part had lower level of self-concept. Behaved pupils perceived themselves as intelligent pupils, who can
think well and always have the abilities to do things. This was only seldom possessed by the misbehaved pupils.
Being happy in the family was felt by the behaved pupils. Behave pupils had better outlook in life and they
perceived to be successful someday. Misbehaved pupils had no definite perception for their future: whether they
would be successful or not when they would grow. The study was conducted from School year 2018-2019. The
Participants of this study were 22 pupils of Sta. Maria Magdalena Elementary School. Teachers must assume a
leadership role in the classroom by initiating a code of discipline and establishing classroom routines that would
provide pupils with the points of reference required to adjust their behavior to the social norms of school life. The
school and the classroom must have a cooperatively developed discipline code with outlined procedures and
consequences.

Nenette D. Manguiat

ABSTRACT: This study focused on the development of problem solving exercises on four content areas of
mathematics: Number and Number Sense, Measurement and Algebra, Pattern and Algebra, and Geometry and
Statistics, all of which were meant to enhance the students’ problem solving skills. It is titled Problem Solving
Skills and Academic Performance in Mathematics of Grade 7 Students in the Division of Lipa City. The researcher
made use of the descriptive method of research where a stratified random sampling was done to identify the
respondents from the four big schools in the Division of Lipa City which include Lipa City National High School,
Pinagkawitan National High School, Fernando Airbase National High School and Inosloban-Marawoy National
High School. For a meaningful interpretation and analysis of the study, the data were treated using the frequency,
percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s r. The raw scores were used in scoring the teacher - made
test and were transmuted in order to interpret the level of performance of the students in the test and in their
academic grades. The findings of the study revealed that 348 of the performance of the student-respondents
were only at the Beginning level in the given test. This result indicated a relatively low performance in the four
content areas covered in the test. In terms of their academic performance as manifested in their academic grade,
the students were generally at the Developing stage, with grades ranging from 75% to 79% on four content areas.

AN ANALYSIS BETWEEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND THE CHOICE OF TRACK OF

THE STUDENTS IN CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL

Enny Lyn V. Yumul & Jocelyn B. Amoyo

ABSTRACT: Choice of track has been a serious problem to many Grade 10 students for it should be the first
thing to consider in entering Senior High School in line with the Republic Act No. 10533 also known as the
Enhanced Basic Education Program or the K-12 Program. The purposed of this study was to explored the
common track of the respondents as well some environmental factors that influence the track choices of the
students. Identifying these factors could give the parents, educators, and industries an idea as to where the
students place most of their trust in the career selection process. A multiple methods design was used to
produced essential data. Forty three (43) students was the respondents of the study using purposive sampling.
They used the set of self- constructed questionnaire. Inventory was also conducted with data collected through
descriptive research design, and quantitative analysis. Results indicated that 34 or 79% out of 43 respondents
preferred Academic Track, 2 for Arts and Design, and 7 for Technical-Vocational Livelihood. On the other hand,
none of the respondents choose Sports Track. The results demonstrated the need for programs that assess
career decision making. This study could help reach students in choosing and deciding the track of their own and
lessen the mismatch, the skill, and the course where students are leading to.

AN ANALYSIS OF MOTHER TONGUE TEACHERS TEACHING PHILOSOPHIES IN THE

DIVISION OF SAN PABLO CITY: BASIS FOR POLICY RECOMMENDATION

Rhea Artillaga Dacara

ABSTRACT: Learning takes place entirely in the child’s home language stage. Studies revealed that pupils
learn better when the language used at home is also used in the classroom. UNESCO reaffirmed its commitment
to the use of multilanguage education in 2003 and emphasized the central role of mother-tongue instruction in
achieving quality EFA (UNESCO, 2003). As a response, the Philippines included MTB-MLE in the implementation
of k-12 Curriculum. “Researchers have proven even during education with the Thomasites that the child’s first
language really facilitates learning,” said Villaneza, teaching and learning division chief of DepEd.. As education
is always challenged with ever changing philosophical ideas that in turn affect the learning processes, this holistic
study aimed at determining whether teachers’ practices are anchored on philosophical approaches and trends
of Mother Tongue teaching. This study utilized quantitative and qualitative research methods through
documentation analysis, survey and interview with select Kindergarten and first grade teachers teaching mother
tongue in the Division of San Pablo City, School Year 2019-2020. Results revealed that teachers are more
inclined to be essentialists wherein essentialism is particularly concerned with the fundamentals of education.
Curricular points of essentialism encourage the cultivation of basic skills that contribute to mastery and literacy.

INTERVENTIONS FOR THE THREE YEARS CYCLE OF E-SIP 2019-2022

Oliver Ryan A. Nofuente, Herminia R. Lardizabal, Clarissa C. Reyes & Ariel C. Del Mundo

ABSTRACT: Gender issues are currently a matter of high concern worldwide, especially among academics and
policy formulators as it is an important factor in determining student's academic performance. This study aims to
determine if there is a significant difference in the academic performance of the male and female students of
Cabay National High School. The enrolment rate, number of drop-out, academic achievement and level of
progress in three consecutive years were analyzed by gender. In addition, 240 learners were randomly selected
to identify their academic performance based on their general average (GA). The number of male and female
students is not significantly different to one another. The number of learners dropping out from year one (1) to
three (3) revealed that there are more male learners dropping out in all grade levels. The Learners Academic
Performance and Level of Progress showed that female learners have higher general average (GA) in three
consecutive years as compared to the male learners. Thus, female learners performed better academically than
male learners. With this, interventions and assistance can be provided to the weaker group in order to improve
their academic performance.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS THAT CAUSED TARDINESS AMONG GRADE 10 STUDENTS

IN MAKILING INTEGRATED SCHOOL: BASIS FOR ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

Leo Justine D. Javier

ABSTRACT: In the secondary school level, chronic tardiness can significantly reduce the minutes of instruction
for all students enrolled in the class, not just the tardy student. The researchers decided to conduct a study
analyzing the factors that caused tardiness among Grade 10 Students in Makiling Integrated School. This is to
address the students’ needs in eradicating punctuality issues and to help teachers in guiding their students who
are always late, and also to provide interventions or solutions to these timely problems with secondary school
students. The researchers utilized quantitative and qualitative method of research in order to evaluate the factors
that caused the tardiness of the Grade 10 students of Makiling Integrated School. Results revealed that among
the factors that caused tardiness is the parents’ example to children; the effects of tardiness in students’
performance is the low academic performance of the student, the school-based regulation scheme may be
proposed to prevent tardiness among students is the strict implementations of the policies of the school and to
generate enrichment activities and interventions for the tardy students. The study was confined within the limits
of Makiling Integrated School learners for the school year 2019-2020. Involved were the 2 A.P. teachers, 1 Head
Teacher, the Principal and the 30 Grade 10 Students. The study would be limited to the response of the students’
answer in the questionnaire and teachers’ response on how tardiness affects the academic performance of their
students. The functionality of the proposed enrichment activity and interventions upon its suggestions or
recommendations are expected to create change in students to come early in school. The research is School-
Based in nature, an innovation done to come up with functional Enrichment Programs and Intervention that would
help to change the perspective of students in coming to school at early time and focus themselves on improving
their performances in school.

Vilma A. Buhay

ABSTRACT: This study focused on the analysis and acquisition of students’ common errors on Subject-Verb
Agreement and the use of blogs in facilitating the acquisition of English writing skills through a corpus of 50 blog
posts written by participants through weblogs. The qualitative approach was used in analyzing the competency
of the participants and to explore students’ perceptions on the advantages of bloggings as an alternative writing
platform. The participants were Grade 9 students from Cotta National High School during the school year 2018-
2019. Research data come from students’ blog posts, survey and focus group interviews. Result shows that the
participants committed significant errors in the use of Subject-Verb Agreement in their weblogs. This study was
presented to the education program supervisor in English for its adoption. In the same manner, this study lays
the foundation for more targeted future studies of quantification in cognition, grammar, and semantics. It is
recommended that subject-verb agreement be taught seamlessly to the students for them to write accurately.
The study can be replicated using other grammar rules.

ABSTRACT: The purposed of this study was to analyzed the advantage of taking HUMSS as strand for SHS in
Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School. The tracks offered in Senior High School (SHS) at CVLIS was the
academic track which covers the strands Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), Humanities and
Social Sciences (HUMSS), Accountancy and Business Management (ABM), and General Academic Strand
(GAS). Unlike other strands, HUMSS is not orbiting in the world of academic subjects only. This strand can be
much useful in dealing with the reality of life. In this study, the researchers analyze the advantages of taking
HUMSS as a strand for Senior High School. Descriptive research design was used in this study. The researchers
conducted the first survey in 43 HUMSS students It utilized the survey questionnaires, Likert scale and Mean to
assess the students' response. Results showed that the top three advantages that HUMSS have are; students
learn how to respect the opinion of others; students become open-minded to different religions, and students
become a good listener. The researchers found out that the most common difference of HUMSS to other strand
offer in Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School is, students can see the different holistic aspects of life (spiritually,
mentally, physically, emotionally, and psychologically.)

Paolo Christopher R. Borja

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to assess the ICT Competency Level of Grade 10 Students in Talon
National High School which will serve as a basis for their ICT skills enhancement program. A sample of fifty-nine
(59) Grade 10 students was taken from selected students in Talon National High School calculated based on
Cochran’s formula and using simple random sampling technique. The researcher used descriptive statistics such
as frequency distribution and weighted mean to present the data. The findings of this study indicated that majority
of the students has basic level of competency in using spreadsheet and has proficient level in all other ICT
competencies. With these findings, the study recommends to integrate ICT activities in classroom discussions.
Schools should also conduct formal ICT trainings and have a separate ICT subject in the curriculum of the
students to further improve their ICT skills. Once this study has been materialized, the entire results will be given
to school administrators of Amadeo District for them to recognize what are possible resources that they may still
have to provide in enhancing the ICT skills competency level of the students in all public schools in Cavite. In
addition, other educators of Amadeo District will also have a copy so that they can implement an effective ICT

Jasper A. Amulong, Ma. Aillen A. Averilla & Sheila Marie C. Oabel

ABSTRACT: To assess the effect of localized worksheets in the academic performance for selected Grade 10
students of Luis Palad Integrated School for SY 2019-2020. This study utilized quantitative research focusing on
the effect of localized worksheets in the academic performance of Grade 10 Araling Panlipunan for the First
quarter. Three Grade 10 sections with a total of 112 students were selected as respondents of the study. A paired
T-test for two sample means were used to compare the result of pre-test and post-test. Since the p-value is lower
than 0.05 level of significance, this study rejected the null hypothesis. Therefore, it means that there is a
significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores. Furthermore, the researchers confirmed
their idea that students learn better when they have individual activity sheets to support their study of Araling
Panlipunan Grade 10. This study will continue to develop localized worksheets for Grade 10 Araling Panlipunan
aligned learning competencies for the curriculum year. Localized worksheets can support student learning by
maximizing their engagement in classroom activities that ultimately affect students’ performance.

AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON THE UTILIZATION OF INFOGRAPHIC LEARNING MATERIALS

AND TASK-BASED LEARNING STRATEGIES IN ENHANCING SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS COMPETENCIES IN WRITING NARRATIVES

Joneth D. Vibar

ABSTRACT: In today’s highly competitive generation of information age, writing is not only a mere option but a
necessity. The ability to write and to express thoughts effectively can be attributed to one’s academic success. It
has become a basic requirement in civic life and in the global community that makes writing competency vital in
the total development of literacy education and communicative skills among Filipino students.One of the many
problems in writing academic essays was knowing what to write and what to elaborate. Limited details in the
academic essay was caused by students’ careless selection of topic and other underlying factors seen in public
schools. Thus this study tried to explore the use of infographic learning materials as an alternative tool that
students can use on how to enhance their competencies in narrative through varied task-based learning. After
the conduct of five-activity week, it was noted that there were increase in students’ competency in writing
narratives based on the results of the posttest and computed t-test. Because of the computed results of the t-
test, the study rejected the null hypothesis at .05 level of significance and accepted the alternative hypothesis;
therefore, there is a significant difference on the use of infographic learning materials in teaching task-based
writing narratives to the senior high school students based on the computed probability value of the difference
between the students’ narrative competency and their exposure on infographic learning materials among the
three participating schools of the district. It was recommended; therefore, that the use of infographic learning
materials be intensified as one of the alternative sources of learning and design other contextual task-based
writing activities in order to address difficulties in writing within the school. However, it is still recommended to
engage the learners in a lengthier exposure in order to achieve higher level of mastery and to ensure a more
concrete learning outcomes among the participants.

AN INDEPTH ANALYSIS OF LEARNING OUTCOME ASSESSMENT (LOA) RESULTS IN

SECONDARY MATHEMATICS SY 2018-2019 IN THE DIVISION OF CAVITE: AXIS FOR
INTERVENTION MECHANISM

Ernesto M. Mojica, Eduarda M. Zapanta & Eunika Zurbano

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis of assessment results in secondary
Mathematics, interpret, contextualized and utilized these results with one output in mind, that is, intervention
mechanism. Documentary analysis was the method used in this study. LOA results were subjected to statistical
analysis like ANOVA and correlation statistic. Data were grouped according to grade level and by grading period.
No sampling technique of the participants were employed. All data from each municipality were taken into
consideration. Results showed that overall MPS were increasing as grade level is progressing. Grade 7 got the
lowest MPS of 53.01 and grade 10 is the highest with overall MPS of 53.59. However, it may be noted that these
results is in the range of low mastery. Analysis of variance when LOA results were grouped according to grade
level revealed a no significant difference with p – value of 0.075. When LOA results were grouped according to
grading period, there is a significant difference, a p – value of 0.000 were obtained. Correlation analysis revealed
that students’ score in periodical tests were moderately related when grouped by grade level, on the other hand,
strong relationship were noted when scores are grouped according to grading period. Results revealed that low
mastery remains the problem in secondary Mathematics education. This work suggests a mechanism for
teachers to follow so that low mastery issue may be addressed. Data on test results is always been available for
utilization. This research uses these data and will suggest an intervention mechanism to address the repeatedly
low mastery of Mathematics competency.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL LITERACY GAP AMONG SHS STUDENTS: BASIS FOR A

FINANCIAL LITERACY CURRICULUM MODEL

Kristine Ann I. Carandang

ABSTRACT: It is the mandate of the Department of Education to provide functional basic education that equips
the youth with the necessary competencies, skills and values for employment and lifelong learning. One of these
lifelong skill is financial literacy. This research investigated the financial literacy gap of 65 senior high school
students of Pantay Integrated High School. Employing both qualitative and quantitative methods, this study took
into account the financial background, knowledge, and perceptions of students that concerned their personal
expenses. The study revealed a limited view of financial literacy as often associated with “saving for the future”.
Little did the respondents that financial literacy corresponds to all events that can make or break them financially,
and something that should be approached with discretion and prudence. Five core competencies have been
identified to constitute the supplemental Financial Literacy curriculum – Earning, Saving & Investing, Sending,
Borrowing, and Protecting. In order to meet financial literacy standards in the 21st century, the proposed
curriculum was anchored on the perceived changes in the labor markets, financial markets, and insurance
system.

ANCILLARY FUNCTIONS OF TEACHERS AND THEIR EFFECTS TO THEIR CLASSROOM

INSTRUCTION AND STUDENT PERFORMANCE: BASIS FOR AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Janice R. Geli

ABSTRACT: This study explores the ancillary functions of teachers both curricular and non-curricular and how
these affect their instructional function, as well as students’ performance. The descriptive method of research
was utilized with the use of a questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument, supplemented by interview.
Respondents of the study were 28 faculty members who have ancillary functions. Ranking and weighted mean
were the statistical tools used in the study. Results of the study revealed teachers’ extensive participation in the
identified curricular and non-curricular activities. Respondents assessed Sports and Athletics, journalism
activities, Brigada Eskwela and Research as extensively participated ancillary activities. It was found out that
ancillary tasks affect teachers’ classroom instruction in that lessons are often repeated for they cannot execute
the prepared lesson at times due to inevitable circumstances. They also tend to assign more activities at home
and utilize their spare time to compensate the instructional time lost. Similarly, results show that ancillary activities
affect students’ performance with respect to focus and motivation. These findings lend significant evidence that
teachers’ ancillary tasks affect both teachers and students performance, thus, the need for intervention program
to balance supply and demand of instructional time and maximize student learning.

ANG PAGGAMIT NG SARILING WIKA BILANG WIKANG PANTURO SA MATEMATIKA SA

BAITANG TATLO SA KLASTER II NG SANTA ROSA,LAGUNA: BATAYAN SA PAGPAPAUNLAD
NG KAALAMAN AT KAKAYAHAN

Jeannie O. Del Rosario,Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: Ang sariling wika ang ginagamit sa pakikipag komunikasyon at transaksyon upang mabilis na
magkaunawana ng bawat isa. Isa din itong mabisang kasangkapan upang mabilis na maiparating ang saloobin na
ideya at damdamin ng isang tao. Sa loob ng pampublikong paaralan ng Baitang 1 hanggang 3, ang ginagamit ng mga
mag-aaral ay ang sarili nilang wika at ito ay ang Filipino. Dahil sa wikang ito lubos silang nagkakaunawaan at
nakakapagpalitan ng kuro-kuro at opinyon, dumadami din ang kanilang mga kaibigan dahil na ipapahayag nila ang
kanilang mga saloobin.Ayon sa pag-aaral na isinagawa nila Apao et al, (2014) ang kahalagahan ng wikang Filipino sa
mga mag-aaral ay isang mahalagang salik ang wika sa komunikasyon. Sa pamamagitan ng maayos at angkop na
paggamit ng wika, nagkakaroon ang gumagamit nito ng kakayahang kumuha at makapagbahagi ng kaalaman, ng mga
mithi ni at nararamdaman. Ang pagtuturo ng sariling wika sa mga asignatura ay isa sa paraan na inilathala ng
Kagawaran ng Edukasyon sa K-12 kurikulum na naglalayong mapabilis ang pagkatuto ng mga bata dahil
nakakapagpahayag sila ng kanilang saloobin at kurokuro. Deskriptibong pagsisiyasat ang ginamit sa pananaliksik na
ito upang malaman ang epekto at saloobin ng paggamit ng sariling wika sa pagtuturo ng Matematika at performans ng
may 250 nakalahok sa pag-aaral na nasa ikatlong baytang na nasa Klaster II ng Lungsod ng Santa Rosa Laguna.
Napatunayan na parehong makabuluhan/ tanggapin ang wikang Filipino at Ingles ngunit mas makabuluhan ang wikang
Filipino na gamitin sa pagsusulit ayon narin sa mataas na karaniwang iskor. Batay sa pag-aaral dapat ipagpatuloy ang
paggamit ng wikang Filipino bilang midyum sa pagtuturo sa bawat paksa ng aralin upang lubos ang pagkatuto ng mga
mag-aaral. Sa kabila ng banda nararapat din naman ipagpatuloy ang paggamit ng wikang Ingles subalit ito ay magiging
pangalawang wika lamang.

ABSTRACT: Layunin ng pananaliksik na ito na mapalakas ang kapangyarihan ng wikang Filipino sa pagsasagawa
ng saliksik. 1) kaalaman ng guro sa paggamit ng wikang Filipino sa pagtuturo ng saliksik gamit ang wikang Filipino, 2)
kahandaan ng mga mag-aaral sa pagsasagawa ng saliksik gamit ang wikang Filipino, 3) makabuo ng pangkalahatang
pamantayan sa paggamit ng wikang Filipino sa pagtuturo ng saliksik. Ang mga guro at mag-aaral ay may kaalaman
sa pagsasagawa ng saliksik gamit ang wikang Ingles kaysa wikang Filipino. Ang mga mag-aaral ay napakabihirang
makalahok sa mga kumpetisyon at eksibisyon ng pagsasagawa ng saliksik sa loob at labas ng paaralan kaiba sa mga
guro na regular na lumalahok sa eksibisyon ng mga saliksik sa labas ng paaralan. Mayroong malaking pagkakataon
na mapaunlad ang mga kasanayan sa pagsasagawa ng saliksik sa mga pampublikong paaralan. Isang salik nito ang
pagsusulong ng saliksik gamit ang wikang Filipino sa mga guro, mag-aaral at nagnanais maging mananaliksik. Ang
mga respondente ay may tiwala sa kanilang mga sarili sa pagsasagawa ng saliksik. Inirerekomenda ng mga
mananaliksik na makilahok sa mga pagsasanay ng mga organisasyong naglulunsad ng pagtuturo ng pananaliksik
upang magkaroon ng sapat na kaalaman ang mga gurong nagtuturo ng saliksik. Maglunsad ang paaralan ng mga
programa na magsasanay sa mga mag-aaral ukol sa pagsasagawa ng saliksik gamit ang wikang Filipino. Gayundin
nararapat na mapasailalim ang mga guro at mag-aaral sa mga sa pagsasanay ng pagsasaling-wika mula sa Ingles
patungong wikang Filipino. Nararapat na maipahayag ang saliksik ng mga mag-aaral sa loob at labas ng paaralan
nang sa gayon ay malapatan ito ng angkop na kritiko at magkaroon ng eksposyur ang mga mag-aaral sa iba’t ibang
uri pa ng saliksik. Sumali sa mga kompetisyon ng saliksik at mga eksibisyon nito. Bumuo ng komite na magsasagawa
ng pagpapakinis ng papel pananaliksik ng mga mag-aaral sa bawat pampublikong paaralan sa sekondarya.
Magsagawa ng mga regular na symposium at worksyap ang paaralan upang magkaroon ng malinaw na konsepto ang
mga mag-aaral sa pagsasagawa ng saliksik gamit ang wikang Filipino.

FILIPINO

Elsa Lezondra & Micheal Lezondra

ABSTRACT: Ang pananaliksik na ito ay may layuning alamin ang antas ng kaalaman sa Ortograpiyang Filipino
ng mga piling mag-aaral at guro sa Filipino. Gamit ang deskriptibong sarbey sa paglikom ng mga datos ang ilang
sa mga piling mag-aaral at mga guro sa Filipino mula sa Sto Domingo Integrated High School na nagsilbing
respondents ng pag-aaral. Ang mga mananaliksik gumamit ng stratified sampling technique upang malaman ang
bilang ng mga mag-aaral. Upang masukat ang antas ng kaalaman sa Ortograpiyang Filipino, binigyang
pagsusulit ang mga respondents. Gamit ang mean percentage score at t-test, napag-alaman na sa kabuuan,
may “katamtamang husay” na kaalaman ang mga mag-aaral sa Ortograpiyang Filipino, habang ang guro naman
ay nasa antas “mahusay”. Natuklasan din na walang signipekanteng kaugnayan na namamagitan sa antas ng
kaalaman ng mga guro at mag-aaral ukol sa Ortograpiyang Filipino. Ang kakulangan sa pagsasanay at seminar
ungkol sa Ortograpiyang Filipino ang isa sa mga suliraning kinakaharap ng mga guro. Batay sa resulta, marapat
lamang na magkaroon pa rin ng mga palihan at mga pagsasanay ukol dito, nang sa gayon ay mas mapalalim pa
ng guro ang kaalaman nila ukol dito. Ang mga guro ng Filipino, ay dapat na kumuha ng masteradong pag-aaral
sa Filipino.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to determine the effects of Appreciative Inquiry in Classroom Observation of
Public Elementary School Heads as Basis for the Development of Technical Assistance Plan. This action
research is aimed to increase understanding of the effects of the school head’s appreciative inquiry based on
classroom observations conducted on the teacher’s teaching practices. This study is also intended to come up
with a technical assistance plan which aimed to improve and strengthen the skills of the teachers in order to
address the diverse needs of the learners. Since the school heads are task to be instructional leaders in the
school. Based on data analysis employed, it was revealed that the teacher-respondents agreed that their school
heads provide appreciative inquiry during class observation post conference. It was further revealed that the
teacher-respondents strongly agreed that they were exhibiting correct teaching practices based on their
performance. Moreover, the results suggest that teachers’ prefer post conference provided by the school heads
rather than with the master teachers. This research is intended to examine the effects of Appreciative Inquiry on
the teacher’s teaching practices and come up with a technical assistance plan specifically intended to assist
teacher’s to improve their skills and competence for better teaching performance. Thus, keep in mind that the
purpose of classroom observation is to help and guide teachers and not to point out mistakes.

Maria Victoria V. Tiquis

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to solve difficulty and issues of the SVNHS Teachers in writing a research or
action research through the implementation of ARCH Program. It was intended to train and help the teachers to
dismantle their pessimism as rooted from poor foundation and unpreparedness in writing an action research.
This research was a descriptive experimental which used purposive sampling. Triangulation was employed.
Survey questionnaires were used. Interviews, focus group discussion and workshops were conducted.
Documentation analysis was made and cultural probed. From the previous school years there were only two
teachers conducted action researches. However, after the implementation of the ARCH Program many teachers
were encouraged to conduct action researches including the school head. Thus, ten teachers conducted
researches in the school year 2017-2018 and sixteen teachers in the school year 2018-2019. Indeed, ARCH
Program helped teachers to dismantle their pessimism on writing action researches. The study was conducted
from October 2017 to October 2018, at San Vicente National High School with ten teacher-respondents which
focused on their performance in conducting action researches. This research was holistic and essential since it
encouraged teachers to become researched- based decision makers as 21st Century educators.

ASHS STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN CHEMISTRY THROUGH COLLABORATIVE

LEARNING TECHNIQUES
Faith T. Fajutag, Owen L. Hernandez & Yvan L. Martinez

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to describe the students’ academic performance in Chemistry; to uncover the
students’ knowledge on collaborative learning techniques; and to unleash how collaborative learning techniques
help enhance the students’ individual skills such as critical thinking, analysis, and oral presentation skills. The
research utilized descriptive-thematic synthesis method in understanding the perception of 10 students of
Alangilan Senior High School about shared meanings and experiences in terms of collaborative learning. An
interview guide was used as the study’s data gathering instrument. Based on the study’s results, most of the
students perform well or at the average level in Chemistry class. Furthermore, they consider themselves as
participative in oral discussions and they work well when it comes to written works, though their comprehension
in Chemistry is at the average level only. The students appeared to have the same understanding about
collaborative learning and they view it as working in a group wherein you learn and share ideas with others.
Teachers usually use group activities during classes and sometimes hold group presentations. And according to
students, collaborative learning can be applied in activities particularly experimentations in Chemistry subject.
Through the use of collaborative learning techniques, critical thinking skills can be improved by sharing ideas to
the group as well as gaining information from them. Furthermore, because of collaborative learning, the students
are able to improve their analytical skills by understanding the work of others and acquiring knowledge from them
which can be applied in analyzing problems involved in Chemistry. The students also have developed their oral
presentation skills through collaborative learning because of presentations that help build confidence in students.
In view of these, the study recommends knowing more about the importance of collaborative learning to apply it
in Chemistry subject which appears to be a difficult course. Furthermore, students may adapt different learning
techniques other than collaborative to further increase their academic performance in Chemistry subject.
Teachers may also utilize more techniques to be used in teaching Chemistry. Lastly, future researchers may
conduct similar studies considering collaborative learning techniques as channel for enhancing students’
academic performance in other subjects.

Mary Grace M. Escueta & Karen Joy C. Dimaculangan

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to determine the teachers’ experiences and challenges they encounter
in writing action research, and component of action research they find difficulty and to propose a localized
development program matrix to capacitate teachers in conducting and writing an action research. The
researchers used a descriptive survey method combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. A sample size
of 58 JHS teachers from Padre Garcia National High School were randomly selected. A survey questionnaire
was used to assess teachers’ knowledge and needs on writing an action research and a semi-structured
interview. Results of this study showed that only 19% of the JHS teachers were able to write or complete an
action research paper and most teachers agreed that they do not have enough knowledge to write an AR that
impede them to do research in school (M=3.22). In general, the teachers’ level of difficulty in conducting AR was
moderate (M=3.09). Hence, the results of this action research will be an input to develop a localized research
program matrix for the JHS teachers PGNHS which will be a myriad of avenues to equip JHS teachers in writing
action research papers in the prescribed format of the Division of Batangas.

ASSESSMENT OF PARENTAL PERCEPTION & INVOLVEMENT TOWARDS INCLUSIVE

EDUCATION

Eunice Ann Entegro

ABSTRACT: The inclusive education program in Rosario National High School has been running for three years
now with five grade nine students this school year. However, the full implementation of this program is still in
progress such as inconsistency in the schedule, curriculum, learning materials, assessment and many more
exist. This study aims to enhance the inclusive education setting that is suitable for learners with special
educational needs (LSENs). The study employed a qualitative research design using the interview as a method
in collecting the data. The type of interview conducted was a semi-structured interview where there were standard
questions asked. The researcher asked unplanned questions to make the data reasonably reliable and express
sensitivity to the needs of the participants. In general, LSENs parents were grateful to the inclusive education
program provided by the school. It raised awareness to regular class students and encouraged sensitivity and
understanding. Parent Involvement is minimal among the parents of the LSENs. Due to financial incapacity and
illiteracy, sending their children to school without sufficient guidance in their academic growth occurs. The study
focused on the responses of the parents of high school LSENs thus the participants were limited in number. The
data collection did not include the perception of the students with and without special educational needs, class
advisers and inclusive education teachers. The study did not examine internal factors such as academic
performance, attendance and behavioral records recorded by the LSENs class advisers. The analysis did not
quantify the data gathered and lacked statistical interpretation. This is in response to the DepEd Team Vision
which states that “By 2022, we will have a nation-loving and competent lifelong learners able to respond to
challenges and opportunities through the delivery of quality, accessible, relevant and liberating K to 12 programs
by a modern, professional, proactive, nimble, trusted, and nurturing DepEd”.

ABSTRACT: This study was geared towards assessing the reading levels of the learners in Atisan Elementary
School to develop a Reading Action Plan. It sought to answer the following questions: How is the reading level
of the students in English and Filipino? How are the problems encountered Reading Assessment addressed?
Based on the findings of the study, what Action Plan can be proposed? Direct sampling technique and descriptive
method of research was used in this study. The subjects of the study were 146 learners from grades 2 to 6. The
data was statistically treated with the use of Frequency Distribution and Simple Mean. The study revealed that
crafting Reading Action Plans plays a vital importance in improving the reading level of learners in Atisan
Elementary School since it is very observable that the number of learners under Non-Reader and Frustration
levels decreased. More so, significantly showing that reading action plans prepared by the teachers in can be
considered as effective since it reached the target percentage of learners under Non-Reader and Frustration
levels . However, such reading action plans need to be improved and enhanced meet the target percentage of
learners’ improvement in the said reading levels. Strict compliance to and proper implementation of the said
reading action plans can also can also be contributing factors in achieving the target percentage expected in the
use of the said reading action plans. This research inclines only on the Phil IRI result of S.Y. 2017-2018. This
is a simple action research but it has a genuine intention which is to improve the reading performance of the
learners in Atisan Elementary School. It is based on analysis and statistically treated to minimize the bias.

READERS

Cecil V. Dela Rosa, Ed.D.

ABSTRACT: To present an assessment of the grade 7 students’ reading levels to craft an intensive reading
program. The quantitative analysis of the reading assessment results conducted among 159 Grade 7 students
was utilized in this study. Their accuracy in reading comprehension skills was tested to determine their reading
level. The administration of the questionnaire also served as a tool in gathering data. The findings revealed that
out of 159 Grade 7 students, 97 students were in Grade 4 reading level (19 Independent readers; 25 instructional
readers; 53 frustration readers) and 62 students fell on Grade 5 reading level (3 Independent readers; 17
instructional readers; 42 frustration readers) using the English text while 106 students belonged to Grade 4
reading level (15 Independent readers; 30 instructional readers; 61 frustration readers) and 53 students were in
grade 5 reading level only (18 Independent readers; 10 instructional readers; 25 frustration readers) using the
PHIL IRI Filipino text. Results also showed that majority of the students found difficulties in word perception and
in making judgement. Students’ difficulty in word perception and in making judgment interferes with their ability
to comprehend the text. This study covered only 159 grade 7 students in Anilao National High School during the
first quarter of the School Year 2018-2019. The focus is limited only to the comprehension skills of the student-
respondents. The findings can be used to develop a reading program that will address the ongoing decline in the
reading comprehension of students.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the extent of implementation of Mother Tongue Based Multilingual
Education Program in public elementary schools in the City Schools’ Division of Bacoor. This was conducted
School Year 2017-2018. The study made use of descriptive method of research. The results of the study were
analyzed and statistically treated using the frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and Pearson’s Coefficient of
Correlation (Pearson r). The weighted mean and rank of the distribution of the respondents on the assessment
of the implementation of MTB – MLE are as follows: Highly Implemented, Implemented, Moderately Implemented,
Fairly Implemented, and Not Implemented. The study yielded the following results: There is no significant
relationship among demographic profile characteristics except ages versus teaching and learning process.
Hence the hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the assessment of school heads and
teachers on the implementation of Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education Program is the same and
coherent. It is concluded from the results that there are indications that the implementation of the Mother Tongue
Based-Multilingual Education needs to be enhanced particularly on the teaching and learning and areas of focus.
On account of the interesting findings generated by the study, it is recommended to enhance/enrich the
implementation of MTB-MLE through improving the teaching learning process, areas of focus, and other variables

ABSTRACT: Classroom Assessment plays integral part in determining the developmental progress among
kindergarten learners. It may also help to identify if the child is developing adequately or at risk of development.
In Kindergarten, there are several classroom-based standardized assessment tools to be used and administered
such as the ECD or the Philippine Early Childhood Development Checklist and the Progress Report. The
Department of Education released an order through DO 8 s. 2015, on how to provide assessment in Kindergarten
level. It prescribes the use of qualitative or non-numerical grading in measuring the performance as well as to
track the expected learning outcomes of five year old children. Assessment in the Kindergarten classroom helps
the teachers to understand if the learning competencies in the curriculum guide have been met. And it is also
necessary if the standard guidelines in the administration of such assessments were properly conducted. This
research study adopted the descriptive method which entails the collection of information through the use of
survey questionnaire that has been administered and answered by randomly selected Kindergarten Teachers in
the Division of Santa Rosa City Laguna. In order to avoid bias, the researcher used simple random sampling
through a fish bowl technique to fairly select the respondents. This method conducted where each member of a
population has an equal opportunity to become part of the study. The researcher also used the percentage and
Weighted Mean to clearly and properly interpret the gathered data from the profile of the respondents, types of
assessments, techniques, common problems, and counter measures.

ABSTRACT: This research sought to determine the level of usefulness, accuracy, challenges and opportunities
of automated multiple choice exam scoring as an alternative assessment and evaluation tool for teachers, the
Zipgrade application. This research utilized a triangulation method. Specifically, it used descriptive-evaluative,
descriptive-comparative and focus group discussion (FGD). The research population is the 37 teachers of
Castañas National High School for the descriptive-evaluative and FGD of ZipGrade application. Simple random
sampling was used in selecting one 50-item test paper per subject teacher and in selecting one section for the
manual checking of test papers and the ZipGrade application. The data were collected using a self-devised
survey questionnaire and structured interview guide. It was conducted in Castañas National High School,
Sariaya, Quezon. The data collection was held on January 2019. Weighted average mean (WAM), independent
t-test, and thematic analysis were utilized to interpret the data. ZipGrade application is very useful, the
respondents strongly agree. The most common theme for the challenges encountered on the use of ZipGrade
are the incompatibility of mobile phones due to a low model, incompatibility, limited use and additional expense.
The most common theme for the opportunities of the ZipGrade application is it has instant test results such as
item analysis, mean, and MPS, it is accurate and user-friendly. The test scores are the same which means that
there is no significant difference in the assessment and evaluation of scores between the manual checking of
test papers and the ZipGrade application. The study covered only the identification of the level of usefulness,
challenges and opportunities of the ZipGrade application during the third periodical examination School Year
2018-2019 in Castañas National High School. ZipGrade is an automated multiple choice exam scoring
application in cellular phones. This study provided findings regarding the usefulness, accuracy, challenges and
opportunities offered by automated multiple choice exam scoring like the ZipGrade application. It provides
reasons for adopting it and for making use of printed answer sheets. It also offers superior flexibility and
substantial increase in the productivity of the teachers.

AWARENESS AND ATTITUDES OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Leilanie Nolasco Tamayo

ABSTRACT: These data will be a basis for different inputs to the potential enhancement of the curriculum in
science to increase the level of awareness and attitude of the students through internet and information
dissemination from the school authorities. The method of research is quantitative research and is of descriptive
type. According to Adanza, Bermundo and Rasonabe (2009), it is designed to gather information about the
present conditions, status or trend, and dealing with what are prevailing. This research involved High School
students from the Division of Calamba City, Cluster 1 public secondary school. The minimum sample size of
2,398 was taken based on the Cochran’s formula to estimate the proportion of a dichotomous-response. Non-
parametric Somers' delta (or Somers' d, for short), is a non-parametric measure of the strength and direction of
association that exists between an ordinal dependent variable and an ordinal independent variable. In general,
the students showed dismal level of climate change awareness which might have resulted in poor level of
attitude/behavior towards climate change. Satisfactory level of technical knowledge in climate change
significantly predicts improvement in attitude and behavior – thus, the null hypothesis, “there is no significant
association between the students’ level of climate change awareness and attitude towards climate change” was
rejected. Thus, it is crucial that students should achieve satisfactory knowledge level on climate change in order
to improve his/her attitude and behavior towards climate change. This study is limited to selected students of
Calamba City. The students showed dismal level of climate change awareness which might have resulted in poor
level of attitude/behavior towards climate change.

B3 (BRING BACK THE BASICS): A NUMERACY PROGRAM IN STRENGTHENING

FOUNDATIONS IN MATHEMATICS

Mark Raphael M. Arasga & Eva Grace G. Paguirigan

ABSTRACT: This study primarily aimed to give remedial intervention to those students who lag behind the
basics and/or fundamentals of Mathematics, and determine the perceived effectiveness of B3 (Bring back the
Basics) program. Purposive sampling was employed and ten selected students (from sections Felipe and
Gomburza) were chosen as the respondents of the program. Students underwent a month-long remediation,
used specialized module and activities, and teachers/facilitators monitored and compared their class standings
before the start and during the program, and were given questionnaires to determine the effectiveness of the
intervention. Results showed that after the posttests, individually, students increased their raw scores as well as
the mean scores of the group. It was also observed that the respondents’ class standings also improved during
the conduct of the program. With an over-all mean of 4.46 (Agree), students believed that the program was
effective enough in helping learners who need assistance on the fundamentals of computation. The study is
applicable to Junior High School students who have difficulties in connecting prior knowledge to the present
topics, finding hard to meet the expectations of the pre-set competencies, and those who are experiencing
competency gaps in Mathematics. Facilitators of the program made specialized module and activity sheets
designed to rebuild students’ foundations in Mathematics.

Keywords: Competency Gap, Fundamentals of Mathematics, Basic Concepts and Operations on Whole

BACK-TO-BASICS PHYSICS MOBILE SCREENCAST: SCAFFOLD TO ENHANCE PHYSICS

PERFORMANCE IN ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM AMONG GRADE 10 STUDENTS

Romark John B. Jerez

ABSTRACT: In the midst of the spiral progression approach, Grade 10 students tended to struggle in
understanding complex concepts in electromagnetic spectrum leading to low physics performance. One factor
was attributed to lack of mastery of basic concepts taught in lower grade levels. Hence, this action research
focused on determining whether the use of back-to-basics physics mobile screencast as a scaffolding multimedia
instructional material in classroom instruction can enhance Grade 10 students’ physics performance in
electromagnetic spectrum. Students viewed the screencasts before and after class sessions. Pretest, posttest,
and focus group discussions were conducted to 47 students within eight weeks. Pretest and posttest mean scores
of 11.94 and 18.21 respectively were obtained. Paired samples t-test result revealed a statistically significant
increase in the mean score from pretest to posttest. One-way ANOVA result implied that the intervention was
more effective for students with very low level of mastery. Through qualitative data analysis, students considered
screencasts as helpful, practical, and challenging. Moreover, Cohen’s d indicated large effect size and the class
average normalized gain of 35% denoted robust effectiveness of the intervention; thereby implying that using
back-to-basics physics mobile screencast could enhance Grade 10 students’ physics performance in
electromagnetic spectrum.

BALANCING SPORTS INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OFSTUDENT-

ATHLETES IN CALACA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL THROUGH LESSON MODULES IN PHYSICAL
EDUCATION

Shella Marie T. Gumapac

ABSTRACT: The researcher aimed to identify the difficulties encountered by the student-athletes in balancing
sports involvement and academics during their trainings and propose lesson modules in Physical Education that
will enhance the athletic skills and academic performance of the students. The study employed the descriptive
research wherein the researcher collected and analyzed both quantitative and qualitative data within the same
study through mixed method. The respondents of the study were 90 student-athletes from SHS in Calaca which
were identified using the purposive sampling. Findings revealed that majority of the respondents are always
training before the competition and once a week both after the competition and when there is no competition.
There is no significant relationship between the student athletes’ academic performance and extent of sport
involvement. Furthermore, the student athletes experienced the following problems during the training: the school
is not implementing a special program to balance their studies and training; teachers do not provide modules as
supplementary learning materials; inadequate training, over fatigue due to strenuous activities; getting poor
participation in the class discussion and activities because of exhaustion from training; not eating sufficient
nutritious foods to compensate with the training and not having quality practice due to lack of equipment. From
the analysis of the results, the researcher designed lesson modules that may be implemented to balance
students’ athletic skills and their academic performance through regular compliance to the provided tasks
intended to facilitate the learning of the student athletes even when they attend the trainings.

Keywords: student athletes, sports involvement, academic performance, lesson modules

BALIKTARANG PANUKAT: PINADALING PAGSUKAT NG ANGULO BILANG PAGHAHANDA

SA MAS MALALIMANG PAGKATUTO

Allan S. Dagong

ABSTRACT: In the teaching-learning process, a protractor typically refers to the semi-circle or half-moon shaped
instrument designed for the measurement of degrees of an angle up to 180 degrees. The types of angles are
acute, right, obtuse, and reflex angle. There are certain materials that include the straight angle or the 180
degrees angle and the full circle or the 360 degrees angles as other types of angles. All types of angles with the
exception of the reflex angle and full circle can be measured using the semi-circle protractor. Learned students
can get the measurement of the reflex angle by measuring the smaller angle and subtracting it from
measurements of the full circle which is 360 degrees. Though it is a procedure that is doable, it is still a complex
process for some learners. The struggles encountered by learners measuring the degree of angles using the
semi-circle protractor is being lessened by the full-circle protractors. There are several designs of full-circle
protractors wherein the main objective is to provide the learners with a tool that they can use in the measurement
of angles up to 360 degrees. However, there are struggles that are not addressed by the available designs. This
is especially true in measuring reflex angle illustrations in a counterclockwise and clockwise direction. Learned
learners can measure reflex angle illustrations in a counterclockwise and clockwise direction using the available
circular protractors. However, there are learners who still experience struggles in measuring angles due to dual
degree markings that are on the obverse part of the protractor. The multiple degree markings are quite confusing
for some learners. A simpler tool is developed to measure angle illustrations up to 360 degrees in a clockwise
and counterclockwise direction. The developed tool is now the subject of a patent application. This step hopes
that mastery of the use of the developed protractor will make the learners use the other designs of commercial
protractors with ease due to the strong foundation in the measurement of angles in degrees.

Molina G. Rizo

ABSTRACT: This study deeply examined the Journey of Balik-Aral Student- Parent. The goal was to determine
the challenges and coping strategies made by the student-parents towards studying again. This has been done
by the use of qualitative research design, specifically a phenomenological approach. The researcher used one
student-parent in Calamba City from a private institution but once studied at Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School
during junior high school as the participant of this research. Upon taking the interview and analysis of data, there
were five (5) major themes arose from the challenges of student-parents and three (3) major themes on the
coping strategies they made. Five (5) major themes on challenges are, (1) Financial dilemma, (2) Difficulty in
stress management, (3) Physique problems, (4) Social disapproval and (5) School Conflicts and three (3) major
themes on the coping strategies they made namely, (1) Self Aid, (2) Familial Support and (3) Social Assistance.
Given that teenage parents have such frustrations and challenges as a parent and as a student, the moment that
they went back to school is a great indication of their coping capabilities and the support that they have from their
parents and partner. Upon the completion of the study, the researcher was able to suggest programs that will
possibly help teenage parents/ student-parents in coping with their challenges.

BOTTOM-UP PEDAGOGICAL CONSTRUCTION THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS: PROPOSED

INTEGRATION OF ECOPEDAGOGY IN TEACHING SHS STATISTICS

Robert Matthew J. De Castro & Roland Andrew J. De Castro

ABSTRACT: This paper deals with proposed integration of contextualized ecopedagogy in teaching Probability
and Statistics class in Senior High School. Ecopedagogy is a bottom-up pedagogical approach utilizing Freirean
Empowerment Education which also known as critical environmental education. Through narration and
continuous dialogue with my students using their photographs, I was able to describe the environmental issues
that they encounter in their daily lives. They presented and verified their stories in our five-day environmental
issues sessions. The activity became too engaging to the students that it reveals several concepts around the
ten kilometers radius of the school. The findings revealed that the biocentric issues of the town coincided with
the its anthropocentric concerns which requires rigid verification using normal probability curve, parameter
estimation and basic statistical inferences as mandated by the curriculum, and immediate action from the people,
barangay officials, from local government and most importantly the schools participation regarding to this matter.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to search on the grounds of foundational deficiency in Basic Numeracy in
Mathematics which serve as a basis of developing instructional intervention program and modules for Grade 7
students. A total population of 270 students comprising six sections who were enrolled at Francisco Osorio
National High School for the School Year 2019-2020 were the respondents of the study. Descriptive-Correlational
Analysis were used in the study in which it assessed the relationships between variables. The result of the study
showed a strong corrrelation between the students’ performance in Pre-test and an increased in Post-Test result
when BRIDGING Program is implemented. The result of the study shows that the Pre-test before adminestering
the intervention of the Grade 7 students (M= 3.21, SD= .158) and the result of the Post-Test in problem after the
intervention (M= 4.36, SD= .224).. However, there is a significant difference t(65), p=.001 between the scores in
the Pre-Test and Post-test after conducting modular intervention. Therefore, there is a significant implication of
Basic Reinforcement Intervention Disciplinary Guide materials to the performance level of students in Grade 7
Mathematics. The study of BRIDGING (Basic Reinforcement Intervention Disciplinary Guide in Numeracy for
Grade 7) PROGRAM: Modular Approach in Mathematical Numeracy Gap is limited only for the Grade 7 students
of Francisco Osorio National High School in School Year 2019-2020 who took this intervention program. The
result of the study implies that this modular approach is a big help in curing the basic nuemarcy gap among
Grade 7 students as for the result after administering Pre-test and Post-test and the conduct of the modular
intervention. This study enlightened educational implementors in the significance of basic numeracy as a mere
foundation of Mathematics. This study would be a guide for the teachers in developing teaching strategies in

Michel R. Landicho & Catherine Dela

ABSTRACT: The study determined the gaps in the learning progression of Grade 1 pupils. As a basis for
determining the learning progression gaps, the study assessed the Grade 1 pupil’s Early Childhood Development
(ECD) and diagnostic achievement test. Through descriptive and documentary analysis the learning progression
gaps was discerned. The study used purposive sampling in the selection of the respondents: The respondents
were Grade 1 pupils from Sta. Maria Elementary School. The researcher used the descriptive and documentary
analysis research design to describe learner’s progress based on the Early Childhood Development (ECD)
assessment in terms of the seven domains: 1) gross motor, 2) fine motor, 3) self-help, 4) receptive language, 5)
expressive language, 6) cognitive, and 7) social-emotional. The pupil’s performance in their Kindergarten ECD
reflected two (2) sets of development index: Suggests Slight Delay in Over-all Development (SSDOD) and
Average Over-all Development AOD). Grade 1 is the onset of formal learning for most school, and it presents
children with a far more ritualized and structured learning environment. Thus, the performance of Grade 1 pupils
determine the future success in the next level. Drawing from the findings of the study, the following transition
intervention program is recommended to address the gaps in learning progression of Grade 1 pupils.

ABSTRACT: This ethnographic-qualitative research aimed to closely analyze Hiligaynon expressions,

specifically their cultural meanings. The study sought to answer questions, what are the common types of
hiligaynon expressions as used in the Municipality of Candoni, Negros Occidental and what cultural meanings
can be drawn from Hiligaynon expressions. The informants were the eight Senior Citizens of the Municipality of
Candoni, Philippines. Through purposive sampling, these informants were identified. An interview guide was
used by the researcher to gather the needed data. There were seventy (70) commonly used Hiligaynon
expressions that were analyzed and interpreted thoroughly, their cultural meanings that were drawn from the
expressions. The results revealed that among the seventy most commonly used Hiligaynon expressions of the
informants were “Damol ang itsura”, “Bwesit ka”, “daw si birat kahang ka”, “ulihi ka lang sa duyan”, “mirisi/marisi”
and others. Results revealed that most common types of Hiligaynon expressions were idioms, swear
words/vulgar expressions, customary expressions and Incantations. Most of the Hiligaynon expressions were
based from the themes of the community’s economic life, connote to physical or bodily characteristics/activities,
associated to Religion (religious practices, faith, beliefs, etc.), also from the themes of challenges and sufferings
and proverbs (advices, reminders and instructions). Therefore, the cultural meanings of Hiligaynon expressions
showed what they value in life and how they lived in their own socio-cultural milieu. Furthermore, a compendium
was developed after the conduct of the study.

CALINGATAN

Gina T. Garcia

ABSTRACT: The implementation of K to 12 Program brings forth new challenges, along with difficulties arising
from the transition period from the old to the new curriculum. The drastic changes could have surmounting effects
to the schools, the teachers, the parents and the pupils as they have to cope with the demands of the new
educational system. From the foregoing situation and based on the learning principle that effective instruction
needs to be adjusted to the needs, interests and abilities of the pupils, utilization of multimedia should be common
in the schools whether private or public. The experimental method of research was utilized in conducting this
study. The effects of modality variable or an independent variable were determined through conducting a pre-
test and post test. The pre-test result was regarded as the control variable, while that of the post test was deemed
as the experimental variable. The results of the separate tests were compared to determine the effects aimed at.
From the interpreted data, the following findings are hereby summarized: (1) The teachers of Science use
computer aided instruction to a great extent, (2) The test performance of the pupils based on traditional method
of teaching is slightly below passing standard of 75, and (3) The test performance of the pupils based on computer
aided instruction is above the usual acceptable passing standard of 75, as confirmed by a mean of 78.8. This
action research aims primarily to determine the effects of computer aided instruction in Science. The effects were
determined through comparing the test performance of 42 Grade Five pupils. on two separate tests. Based on
the learning principle that effective instruction needs to be adjusted to the needs, interests and abilities of the
pupils, utilization of multimedia should be common in schools. Thus, the researcher designed an application that
will make students to be more attentive and active during discussions. Mentors on the other hand will definitely
be more competitive if these application will be utilized.

CAPACITY-BUILDING INITIATIVES FOR A DISASTER-READY SCHOOL COMMUNITY:

DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER RISK REDUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN

Marlon Q. Martinez, Marycon Carmela G. Mella & Melvin S. Lisay

ABSTRACT: Considering the importance of the safety of learners and school personnel and the need for
intensive planning and implementation of DRRM in schools, this study attempts to identify the school’s potential
hazards and the disaster awareness, preparedness and involvement in capacity-building initiatives of the school
community in General Emilio Aguinaldo National High School, a densely-populated school with 9,788 students.
In order to attain the objectives of the study, a mixed-methods research design was employed, with the students,
teachers, non-teaching personnel and administrators as respondents. From the hazard assessment, the school
is at risk of both natural and human-induced hazards. The location of the school has low to high susceptibility to
flood and high susceptibility to earthquake, with low susceptibility to liquefaction. The study also reveals that the
members of the school community have utmost awareness on disasters but have limited belief in the
preparedness of the school and participation in capability-building initiatives of the SDRRM. Communicating risk
information and safeguarding trust on community preparedness remain challenges. To address this concern,
there is a need to create concrete measures on communicating these risk information and capacitate the school
community. A comprehensive disaster risk reduction management plan was created, containing contingency
plans specific to each type of hazard plausible to occur within and around the school. This includes specific
procedures for earthquake, flood, fire, and terror attacks.

Ma. Victoria C. Magayon, Magdalena Valdez & Fe A. Blas

ABSTRACT: Research activity is considered one of the high-impact educational practices that cultivate lifelong
learners. Anchored on the premise that senior high students are still novice in conducting research and the
power of motivation theories to learn, Template-based and Task-based Activity Plan (TTAP) was developed to
be used in teaching research subjects. Before it’s final draft and pilot implementation, a dry run was conducted
to structure the conceptions of students of (TTAP). Hence, this study answers research question, what are the
conceptions of students on TTAP? Through Phenomenographical study, the narrative of 150 senior high
students’ Focus Group Discussion were structured. Major theme of “discontinuity of reaction” surfaced such as
“difficult yet enjoyable:” “hard yet easy;” and “unable to able.” It is also revealed that TTAP help students do
research; figure out and explore alone; and complete the task form the beginning to the last task. Lastly, there
are minimal statements that says it is not easy. The findings of this study is just a moderatum generalization, for
it is qualitatively done, yet it is holistic and can be a baseline data for the curriculum and instructional designer,
and teachers as to consideration of making the difficult subject like research easier.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the academic performance in Science of the Grade 4
pupils of Cabiraoan Elementary School for the School Year 2018 – 2019 using the Center-based Learning
Approach. This research wanted to draw the pretest and posttest scores of pupils, if there is a significant
difference between the scores, and the impact of the approach to the performance of the pupils. The researcher
developed Center-based Teaching Guide Cards on the two topics featuring the approach. Prior to the execution
of each guide card, a 40-item pretest was given to the 49 pupils to extract the content of their prior knowledge
on the said topics. After the implementation of the intervention, 20 – item posttest from each of the two topics
was administered to determine the level of their achievement. The data were analyzed using the t-test for the
paired samples and eta2. The result showed that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest
scores, and the intervention had a large effect to the academic performance of the pupils, hence, it is effective in
improving the academic performance of the pupils. The researcher recommended that Science Teachers should
use the intervention in teaching Science 4, strive to use the intervention in teaching Science in other grade levels,
and have collaboration with administrators and educators for the adoption of the intervention should as a matter
of priority to incorporate and intensify the use of Center-based Learning Approach in curriculum development.

CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED IN CLASSROOM OBSERVATION BY PUBLIC ELEMENTARY

SCHOOL TEACHERS AT IBAAN DISTRICT: A BASIC FOR COACHING AND MENTORING PLAN

Norma A. Cantos & Ma. Veronica C. Roxas

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to propose a plan for coaching and mentoring that will uplift teacher’s
competence and will facilitate their daily teaching course specifically if they are being observed by their respective
school heads and now observed by the master teachers too. It is often heard through informal conversations
with the teachers that they are encountering some difficulties specifically if there is an observer. These factors
triggered the researchers to conduct a study and formulate a plan for coaching and mentoring that will help them
mitigate the problems that the teachers are facing. Researchers utilized the descriptive method of research using
questionnaire. The data revealed that the most prevalent challenge of Ibaan teachers is when being observed,
they felt uncomfortably because of the fear that their flaws rather than potentials will be noted by the observer.
Coaching and mentoring plan will help the school head to provide technical assistance to their teachers who are
experiencing some challenges during the course of direct classroom observation. Successful teachers say it
matters how a lesson is introduced, how meaningful the content appears to students, the pace at which
information is imparted, the amount of variety introduced, and the amount of student involvement.

CHALLENGES PERCEIVED BY THE TEACHERS WHEN TEACHING DEVELOPMENTALLY

DELAYED LEARNERS– AN INPUT IN DEVELOPING CONTEXTUALIZED MODULE

Rycel V. Juco

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges perceived by the teachers when teaching
the developmentally delayed learners especially the regular teachers. After knowing the challenges perceived by
the teachers when teaching developmentally delayed learners, the researcher will develop a contextualized
module that will be using by the developmentally delayed learners. The researcher believes that with the
implementation of these new strategies through contextualized module in teaching will make the lessons flexible,
fit, creative, relevant, meaningful, and adaptive to students’ level of understanding and instructional needs. A
phenomenological study will be using because its goal is to fully understand the essence of some phenomenon.
In order to get information from the regular teachers who are teaching developmentally delayed learners, a
descriptive research design was used to provide answers to the questions associated with a particular research
problem. The findings showed that the informants had knowledge about developmentally delayed learners and
that they could explain some causes of it. Majority of the teachers overcame their challenges by being flexible in
their profession. Getting familiar to the environment and seek help to their superior are another thing to consider
in overcoming challenges. This action research will develop contextualized module which are originally made by
the researcher to be used in the next school year by the developmentally delayed learners.

DEVELOPMENT AND ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT

Oscar R. Duma, Jr., Gilbert C. Alva, & Marck Andro E. Bernabe

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the impact level of child work among learners of DepEd Quezon
and the relationship between their Psychosocial Development and Academic Engagement towards the
development of a policy brief for improved program implementation. A mix of qualitative and quantitative
approaches were used, involving child workers in responding to structured questionnaire and semi-structured
interview with select class advisers and school heads in the division’s four congressional districts. Data were
treated statistically using Weighted Arithmetic Mean (WAM) and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The results
revealed that there is High Impact (HI) of 3.33 WAM value on learners’ Psychosocial Development and High
Impact (HI) of 3.67 WAM value on their Academic Engagement. Furthermore, results showed that there is
significant correlation between the Psychosocial Development and Academic Engagement of learners and the
strength of association is Positive. It only indicates that one variable affects another. Child work related programs
in schools are in place; however, implementation procedures need to be clarified and documentation should be
reinforced. This study was limited to select participants from the four congressional districts who were purposively
selected as respondents. While there could be other variables to be investigated, it focused only on the learners’
Psychosocial Development and Academic Engagement as related to child work. Child work was perceived to be
one of the many factors affecting a child’s psychological, social and scholastic development in school; thus, this
research was conducted. Its result banked on the improvement of relevant program implementation through a
crafted policy brief which is geared towards the well-being of children who study and work at the same time.

Sheryl M. Alcain & Jereco D. Latina

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the factors that influenced the pupil academic performance and the
relationship between the pupil socio-economic background and academic performance. This study made use of
descriptive and inferential statistics since it target the relationship between the child socio economic-background
and academic performance. Results revealed that the pupil social economic background influenced pupil
academic performance since education plays a major role in skill sets for specific qualities that stratify people
with higher and lower social economic status. The study is limited to 52 Grade Five pupils in Plaridel Elementary
School, North District, Division of Lipa City. Socioeconomic status is an economic and sociological combined
total measure of a person’s work experience and of an individual’s or family’s economic and social position
relative to others, based on education and occupation. Pupils’ academic achievement and educational attainment
have been studied within different frameworks. The influence of socio-economic status on students specifically
in grade five seems that can affect the child’s educational performance.

ABSTRACT: This study looked into the classroom behavior of Grade Five pupils at Ambray Elementary School,
San Pablo City Division. The researcher gathered data from 110 Grade Five pupils from the total 139 Grade Five
enrolment. Number of respondents was determined using the Slovin’s Formula. Fish bowl technique was
employed to further identify the respondents. indicate that the pupil-respondents believe that a positive and non-
punitive discipline measure will help to cater for various individual background and characters of pupils in the
classroom. This item got the highest frequency of 102 or 93%.
Teachers will have success with majority of students if they are conscious of students’ needs and explain the
basis of the instructions given and students who misbehave or are found guilty of misbehaviour such as any form
of bullying (physical or cyber) should be re-educated on the effects of their actions on the victims and others both
ranked second, 100/101 or 91%. On the other hand, pupil-respondents believe that indicator cases of
misbehavior and disrespect should be referred to the principal/disciplinary committee which got the highest
frequency in the disagree, 100 or 91%, is not an effective practice to maintain order and discipline in the class.
Name-dropping” or call-out and recording students’ misbehavior deeds will help students to behave properly in
class ranked second in the disagree with 87 or 79% in the disagree responses. The research was limited to
Grade Five pupils of Ambray Elementary School. The researcher noticed that students possess a combination
of disruptive behavior that needed to be addressed immediately. Therefore, the researcher needs to learn how
she could structure these particular pupils in order to avoid or reduce the amount of disruptive behavior in class.

BASIS FOR AN ACTION RESEARCH

Precious B. Maala, Dionisia T. Guansing & Maxima C. Reyes

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to find out the best classroom management practices used by teachers in the
classroom. Is there a significant relationship between academic performance and classroom management
practices of the respondents? The study utilized the descriptive research design. It employed a combination of
purposive and random sampling technique to determine the number of school administrators, teacher, and
student respondents. This study was anchored on B.F. Skinner (1938) approach about operant conditioning,
which explained that the best way to understand behavior is to look at the causes of an action and its
consequences. The academic performance of the students was satisfactory. The levels of classroom
management practices of the respondents were effective. Classroom management practices of the teachers
were significantly related to students’ academic performance. The problems identified were frequently
encountered by the respondents. An action plan was developed to improve the classroom management practices
of the teachers and students academic performance. The study involves the 43 school administrators and 70
junior high school teachers in the Municipality of Silang. Teachers who were only 5 years and below in teaching
were purposively selected. The study was conducted during the School Year 2016-2017. The study only
determined the extent of the classroom management practices of the respondents and its relationship to student
academic performance. There were 240 students involve in the study wherein their academic performance were
used in relation to the level of classroom practices of teachers. In order to increase the academic performance
of the students, the classroom management practice of the teachers should be improved, enhanced and
sustained. The respondents should undergo further training and benchmarking on excellent classroom
management practices. The action plan should be implemented to lessen the problems encountered by the
teachers.

LASSROOM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY GRADE FIVE TEACHERS OF

WAWA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: EFFECTS ON BEHAVIOR OF PUPILS

Siena Grace V. Atienza

ABSTRACT: Teaching is a complex, multifaceted activity, often requiring us as instructors to juggle multiple
tasks and goals. In the process of classroom management, the teachers have to now their pupils, align objectives
and activities, ensure explicit expectations and policies, know their priorities for student learning. Moreover, the
teachers have to find ways of overcoming their own expert blind spots and find appropriate teaching roles for
feedback and reflection for revision (Faculty Orientation, 2012). In doing these multifaceted job, the researcher
knew that appropriate classroom management techniques was a way to teach better. This study aimed to
determine the classroom management strategies employed by Grade Five teachers of Wawa Elementary School.
It also aimed to determine the effects of these classroom management strategies to pupil behavior. Finally the
researcher proposed a classroom management action plan as output of this study. The descriptive method of
research was used in this study. The respondents were eight (8) Grade Five teachers of Wawa Elementary
School. A researcher-made questionnaire was used as data gathering tool. It was peer-validated for corrections
and for good grammatical construction. The weighted mean was used to treat the data gathered from the
respondents. Results revealed how the Grade Five teachers utilized several classroom management strategies
which helped thwart the behavior of Grade Five pupils. The classroom management styles such as: First day
of class sets the climate; pupils participate in setting rules; all pupils are accounted for; own reflect on pupil’s
behavior-student perception; active learning where pupils are responsible for specific tasks.

CLASSROOM PLAY-BASED INTERVENTION TO ENHANCE PUPILS KNOWLEDGE IN

TAGALOG ALPHABET AMONG GRADE ONE -COSMOS
AT ITAAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Ma. Cristina G. Bagas, LPT,Maed

ABSTRACT: One of the most important component of the K to 12 program, the Philippine government’s
comprehensive basic education reform policy, is the implementation of a universal kindergarten which seeks to
equip formative learners with rudimentary skills such as reading, counting and communication skills among
others before entering grade 1. The kindergarten program serves as a preparatory platform for the transition of
learners from informal (home-based study) to formal education (grade 1-12). However, while reading literacy,
especially alphabet recognition and phonemic awareness are at the core of kindergarten education, some
children who completed this level still lack basic knowledge required of grade 1 pupils. Specifically, a number of
grade 1 entrants were seen to have limited or zero alphabet knowledge. The results of the Letter Identification
Assesment based on the kindergarten record, in the beginning of School Year 2018-2019 revealed that five (20)
out of 44 grade one section cosmos pupils had failed to name and recognized letters. In response, the researcher
organized a play-based intervention which involved the conduct of a 30-minute additional instruction thrice a
week from July 2018 to August 2018. This action research, as an offshoot of this effort, sought to determine
whether this intervention has been effective in fostering rudimentary knowledge of Tagalog alphabet among these
twenty learners. The results of the weekly assessment and the post-test showed that pupils acquired familiarity
with Tagalog alphabet after participating in the study, the responses of the pupils to questions in the post-
intervention interview revealed that the play-based activities were successful in boosting pupils’ interest and in
reducing anxiety when learning the Tagalog alphabet. Following the results of the study, the researcher is now
utilizing and framework of this intervention in addressing gaps in other development.

Jenevie G. Arimbuyutan

ABSTRACT: This study aims to know the effectiveness of using Code Switching in teaching Mathematics in
Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. Senior High School. This study also aims to measures the degree of change occurring on the
performance of the students in learning Mathematics as a result of treatments and interventions. This research
utilized an experimental research design. Data were collected using Pretest and Posttest to compare participant
groups. The respondents of this study are grade 11 students of Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. Senior High School which
undergone in treatment group and control group. Findings revealed that code switching in teaching and learning
Mathematics was highly evident. This was also evident during classroom observations where code switching
from English to Tagalog and Tagalog to English was common in all senior high school. Code switching is
supposed to provide a linguistic advantage rather than an obstruction to communication (Mokibelo, 2016). It
defeated the purpose of teaching and learning where students did not understand the two target languages used.
Results showed that students preferred to use the combination of English and Tagalog in Mathematics.
Moreover, teachers also agreed to use the same language as to the students. The choice between the code
switching and using one language only is statistically significant as perceived by both teachers and students.
This study focused only to the grade 11 students specifically the handled sections of the researcher’s in Luis Y.
Ferrer Jr. Senior High School during S.Y. 2019-2020. The result of this study would serve as basis of the teachers
and the school in conducting in-service trainings and faculty development programs to cater the needs of the
students in learning Mathematics effectively.

Genovie G. Tagum

ABSTRACT: This research aims to determine whether Information Processing Approch (IPA) in teaching may
increase learner’s achievement by processing information from short-term memory to long-term memory resulting
to greater retention. Quasi-experimental study exposed one grade 9 section to IPA. The pretest and posttest with
12 skills measured the achievement of the learners. Mean analyzed the pretest and posttest results. Paired Two-
Sample Means tested the significant difference of the pretest and posttest. A learning gain score of 66.33 percent
was reported from the pretest mean of 15.51 and posttest mean of 31.72. The computed t-18.684 with a critical
value of ±2.021 tested at 0.05 level of significance indicated a significant difference. The experiences of learners
on the use of IPA indicated an average mean of 3.67 interpreted as strongly agree. The data show that IPA
helped increased their performance in Science. The student-respondents’ also had a positive perception on the
use of IPA in learning science. This study provides a similar view how learner takes action in an input information
the same way a computer device performs, rather than simply relating to stimuli. IPA in teaching provides a clear
reflection how student's brain conveys information in, communicates it, and stores it the memory which can be
readily available for use.

ABSTRACT: The focus of most of the online learning programs remains on certain particular skills that can help
you in getting a good job. In todays’ digital age you should learn digital skill so that you can run with time. A
quantitative research design was used in this study. The researchers chose PSTMNHS as the place/or
participants to conduct the study because this study was purposely done primarily for their Senior High School
students. The effects and Consequences of Collaboration of Traditional and E-learning were chosen by the
researchers the focus of the study for it will surely benefit the students and teachers. A descriptive research
design was used. They examined and described every detail of the data and information that they have gathered
from the participants and other related literatures and studies. According to the results of the study, both learning
strategies have the effectiveness and consequences which can affect the academic performances of every
student. Traditional learning is effective to those who preferred to study with other people around them. It can
improve their social life, communication skills and personality. That way, they can understand and learned the
lessons better, they can improve their academic performances. E-learning can help the students to be more
responsible, independent and to manage their time and flexible schedule wisely. They can still study despite of
having a lot of responsibilities and other unfavorable circumstances and situations. They can focus and give their
attentions to their study causing them to have a higher level of academic performances. Regarding their
consequences, it can be opposed by each other’s effectiveness. It means that combining the effectiveness of
both teaching strategies can end up to better results. So, the collaboration of Traditional And E-learning is the
best solution for the students to attain the high academic performances or the high quality of education that they
need.

COLLABORATIVE INQUIRY CLASSROOM AND LEVEL OF THINKING AND REASONING

SKILLS IN GRADE 10 SCIENCE: BASIS FOR SUSTAINABLE AND STRENGTHENED SCIENCE
EDUCATION

Franz Kevin B. Manalo

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of collaborative inquiry classroom
approach on improving the thinking and reasoning skills of students. Furthermore, it aimed to determine the
difference in the results of pretest and posttest scores as to critical and wider thinking and correlate the students’
perceived effectiveness to the mean posttest scores. Descriptive-comparative research design was used. Sixty
(60) Grade 10 students clustered into two (2) groups were selected as respondents in San Pablo City Science
High School during the academic year 2018-2019. Survey questionnaires and pretest-posttest questions were
utilized to obtain the data. Results revealed that there was a significant relationship between the students’
perceived effectiveness of problem-based learning and project-based learning and their mean posttest scores.
However, the results of the pretest and posttest of the students were significantly different. It implies that the
students’ critical and wider thinking were improved. On the other hand, there was no significant difference
between the students’ mean posttest scores exposed to problem-based learning and project-based learning.
This suggests that whenever the students are exposed to any of the two learning strategies, their critical and
wider thinking will be improved. This study focused on improving the thinking and reasoning skills which include
critical thinking and wider thinking of the students in Science using collaborative inquiry classroom approaches
such as problem-based learning and project-based learning. The study employed heuristic approach since it
utilized learning pedagogies in improving the academic performance of the students through experimental
methods.

COLLABORATIVE LESSON STUDY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF JUNIOR

HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHERS

Nerissa G. Vitug

ABSTRACT: Teachers strongly need to experience quality professional development in order to improve student
learning and teacher instruction. However, current teachers’ professional development (TPD) efforts are seen
as static, top-down and policy-oriented (Mañalac, 2010). Teachers who undergo this cascading model of training
try to implement innovations but are constrained by time, materials required, and the lack of instructional or
administrative support, forcing them to revert to their former teaching approaches and habits. Lesson study (LS)
is an inquiry model of TPD used extensively throughout Japan. Advocates, usually from the Maths and Sciences
fields, say it is a powerful TPD process that can lead to stronger lesson plans and teaching practices. In
describing the lesson study process undergone by English teachers from a public junior high school in Quezon
City, this study sought to investigate such process as an alternative approach to English TPD while improving
their skills in applying Communicative Language Teaching methods in their classes. Results showed
improvement in Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) implementation. As Collaborative Lesson Study
(CLS) is practiced repeatedly in 5 cycles, there is marked improvement in the implementation of CLT in English
classes. Also, as gleaned from data obtained from the questionnaire and interviews, positive attitudes towards
collaboration were promoted and fostered among the language teachers by the CLS activities. Based on the
analysis of data results, recommendations for language teachers, school administrators and future researchers
to adopt CLS as a viable continuing TPD program, in the context of English language teaching-learning, were
also given.

COLLEGE READINESS OF GRADE 12 LEARNERS OF SHS SAN NICHOLAS III BACOOR, CITY
AS
PERCEIVED BY THEIR PARENTS AND THE LEARNERS: BASIS FOR PROJECT GLEN
(GUIDANCE FOR LEARNERS’ ENGAGEMENT AND READINESS FOR COLLEGE)

Glen Tee Jay A. Jarito, Geraldine M. Tabing & Adorando R. Darvin

ABSTRACT: The main goal of the study was to present vital data for the development of a comprehensive
career guidance program based upon the college readiness survey as perceived by the parents and learners of
Grade 12 of SHS in San Nicholas III, Bacoor City during the 2nd semester of School Year 2018-2019. To present
an evaluated and analyzed perception of parents and learners the researchers adapted a survey questionnaire
entitled “College Readiness Survey” by Frank Bernier. Results of the descriptive survey were achieved through
the use of weighted mean. Furthermore, to compare the perceptions of the parents and learners with regards to
the readiness of their children to enter college, paired t-test for two independent samples was utilized. The study
shows that the learners from General Academic Strand (GAS), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), Home
Economics (HE), and Information Communication Technology (ICT) had a mean adequate college readiness in
terms of academic maturity, academic motivation, learning style, assertiveness, social skills, willingness to seek
advice and planning/goal setting skills. Similar findings were also observed in parents’ perception on the
readiness for higher education of their children. Significantly, the survey revealed a stronger belief of parents as
regards to children’s’ readiness for college. The result implies that parents are more convinced that their children
are academically matured, academically motivated, crystalized learning style, are more assertive, enhanced
social skills, are willing to seek advice and established goal setting skills than perceived by the learners
themselves. The baseline data gathered though this descriptive research serves as an input to Project Guidance
for Learners’ Engagement and readiNess for College (GLEN) that can address one of the three exit points of
learners as determined by the Enhanced Basic Education Act 2013. Moreover, the implementation of the career
guidance program which focuses on preparation for higher education of the learners of SHS in San Nicholas III,
Bacoor City will be based from the variables studied. This study concentrated more on the voice of the parents
and their children who were enrolled during the 2nd semester of School Year 2019 – 2020.

PROPOSED INSTRUCTIONAL INTERVENTION

Adelwisa Guia-Ramientas

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study was to find out the common errors in grammar of senior high
school students toward a proposed instructional intervention. The purpose of the study is to know the level of
mastery of the senior high school students in terms of the different parts of speech and the subject –verb
agreement in relation to their academic performance in English subject. This study made used of the descriptive
research design with the use of an 80-itme researcher-made diagnostic test as the main research instrument.
Supplementary research instruments were unstructured interviews and observation. The respondents were
chosen through random fish bowl sampling using the Slovin’s Formula of Reliability. Academic Performance in
English Subject of the Respondents was fair however, the level of skill of the respondents as to the different parts
of speech and as to the subject-verb agreement were “least mastered”. It means that the respondents have a
poor command of the English language especially in all the areas on grammar elements included in the
assessment. The study is limited to the 294 senior high school in the school year 2012-2013. This can serve as
a basis in planning enriched curriculum where grammar will be the focus. It can serve also as a source of
motivation to conduct further similar studies.This study can be of help to educators as to what should be given
emphasis in teaching the language so as to make the learners be competitive.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the implementation of MAPEH among junior secondary
schools in Lipa. This employed the descriptive survey design and used purposive sampling in choosing the
respondents while weighted mean, t-test and Pearson R were used to interpret the data. Findings revealed that
instruction obtained the highest mean value in public schools while program and activities area obtained the
highest mean value in private schools. They are both perceived to be implemented to a great extent. Instructional
materials had the lowest mean value in private schools interpreted as little extent of implementation. More so,
this study found that there is no significant difference on the extent of MAPEH implementation between the public
and private secondary schools. The perceived effect on the development of students obtained the highest mean
in both public and private schools with great extent while both the school and administrative staff had the lowest
mean values having moderate extent of effect. In addition, there is no significant difference on the effect of
MAPEH implementation in public and private secondary schools, but, the test showed that there is a significant
and positive moderate correlation between the extent and effect of implementation of the subject area

COMPREHENSION AND COMPUTATION: THE SKILLS OF GRADE 7 STUDENTS

Ma. Glecita C. Columna & Lynette P. Rue

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this descriptive study is to determine whether it is the ability to comprehend
or the ability to compute that affects the learners’ difficulty in solving word problems. Specifically, the study aims
to show the level of comprehension and computational skills of the students and if the two variables are
significantly different. The study included a random sampling of Grade 7 students in the Division of General Trias
City. Four (4) Junior High Schools with a total of 31 students were the subject of the study. The instruments used
were two researcher-made test questionnaires which asked students to first solve mathematical equations in
numerical form and the second in word problem format. Both were content validated by three experts. Statistical
tools used were mean, standard deviation, Pearson-r correlation and paired t-test. Results showed that students
have significantly higher achievements in computation as compared to comprehension skills, however, students
have still low performance on the two skills. The two variables were also positively correlated. Although, the
comprehension skills of the students should be given much attention, the computational is still the basic skill that
should be mastered. The main variables of the study include the learner’s comprehension and computational
skills and how these skills are used in solving mathematical word problems. The respondents of the study were
confined to the selected Grade 7 students from the four (4) Junior High Schools in the Division of General Trias
City. Meanwhile, the study does not look into other factors that may affect the students’ ability to solve
mathematical word problems. The results of the study will be a basis for an enrichment plan for both Mathematics
and English subjects in the whole division of General Trias City.

ABSTRACT: COLLAP is a reading strategy, aims to enhance comprehension of Struggling Readers. It is an

aid in remediating pupils which triggers their intrinsic motivation through Macro Skills because for they will able
to comprehend the story. Instruments underwent COLLAP for forty – five days engaging in 20 different stories
using individual computer. They answered eight questions per story. The scores were collected and analyzed
through percentage, then the result of pre and post-test was compared through T – test. There is improvement
in pupils’ performance. The Mean result of the pre assessment (5.36) compared to post assessment (92.86)
shows a difference of 88%. It also shows the degree of freedom (DF) or the amount of information provided in
this study (12). The t Stat result (-24.5) also shows less than the one – tail result (6.45) evident that the
implementation of COLLAP created a positive result. COLLAP subjects the seven (7) selected grade six pupils
of Demesa Elementary School, identified as Struggling Readers. After the application of COLLAP to the lives of
these struggling readers’ changes from frustration to instructional and independent took place because of their
improvement in reading comprehension their confidence boost and made them actively participate in the
classroom. COLL AP is one of the unique and technological means to solve issues in comprehension. This
approach greatly motivates struggling readers to participate and engage in activities using technology, which
later increases their comprehension ability.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to determine the conceptual understanding in Physics using computer simulation
versus conventional laboratory experiment. The sample consisted of 60 grade 7 students and 80 grade 9 students
from Malaybalay City National High School for the school year 2017 - 2018. The respondents were selected
using simple random sampling. The study made use of quasi-experimental pre-test post test research design.
Two groups of grade 7 students and another two groups of grade 9 students were involved in this study. The
experimental group from grade 7 and grade 9 level were taught using computer simulation while the control group
from grade 7 and grade were taught using conventional laboratory environment. The Physics Education
Technology (PhET) simulation software program was used in computer simulation. There were four research
instruments used in the study: the achievement tests in motion in one dimension that obtained a computed
Cronbach alpha of 0.754 and the achievement tests in motion in two dimension that obtained a computed
Cronbach alpha of 0.806 for its reliability coefficient. The manual of the lesson in teaching computer simulation
were also constructed. The achievement test was administered as pre-test and posttest. The data gathered in
the pre-test and post-test were analyzed by computing the mean, standard deviation and were subjected to one
way analysis of covariance at p = 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that the students in grade 7
and grade 9 from the experimental group achieved higher scores than the students from the control group. There
is a significant difference in the post-test scores between the two groups of students in favor of those students in
the experimental group. The results showed that computer simulation can be used as replacement for real
laboratory experiment.

CONCEPTUALLY ORGANIZED WORKSHEET (COW) AS REMEDIATION FOR LEARNING

PHYSICAL SCIENCE CONCEPTS

Sarah H. Junio

ABSTRACT: This action research was conducted to assess the use of a Conceptually Organized Worksheet
(COW) as remediation for learning Physical Science concepts among the 167 Grade 12 Senior High School
learners of La Paz National High School, District III – La Paz, Schools Division of Iloilo City for School Year 2018-
2019. The COW was composed of two parts: the Concepts, a summary of the delivered lesson; and the
Assessment, a parallel test to the formative test given at the end of the lesson. Using 10 COWs covering Units I
and II, this study compared the mean scores of the learners in the Physical Science Achievement Test before
and after the intervention. Results of the study revealed that prior to the intervention, learners generally had a
low mastery level of the concepts in the pretest. However, after the intervention, when students who did not reach
75% mastery level in formative tests were remediated with the COW, the learners generally achieved an average
level of mastery in the posttest. Hence, it was concluded that the Conceptually Organized Worksheet (COW) was
an effective remediation for learning Physical Science concepts. It also offered learners the chance to self-
examine their own understanding of the concepts discussed and enhanced their confidence at aiming higher
grades in general. It can also be applicable to other subject areas, but its construction especially on how to layout
the concepts and how to evaluate the contents for understanding should be carefully considered to make learning
interesting, enjoyable, and meaningful.

Elementary School. for two years were gathered, consolidated and interpreted. The researcher used comparative
technique and experimental design in interpreting data gathered. And using ANOVA single factor was used as
statistical treatment. That based on the data gathered, there is a no significant difference on the LOA results from
2017-2018 and 2018-2019 for the third grading period as the teacher in grade three used the CPA strategy and
lecture-discussion in teaching fractions. The use of CPA and LD both showed effectiveness in teaching and
learning fractions based on the numerical dataand teachers’ responses, hence, the use of CPA is more effective
than LD because the group who uses the CPA got highest Mean Percentage Score for two years. This study
focused on the LOA Results for two years, from 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 for the third grading period. The study
aimed to assess the effectiveness of using different strategies in teaching fractions, specifically the utilization of

ANXIETY SCALE (MAS)

Jennylyn R. Khe & Albert D. Yazon

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study is to develop a valid and reliable Math-Anxiety Scale that is suitable
for Filipino learners. A test consisting of 60 items was constructed by the researcher through following and
understanding underlying constructs and theories that cover Math Anxiety. After the Content Adequacy
Assessment among experts in the fields of Guidance and Counselling, Psychology, Psychometric, Sociology,
and Mathematics, it was reduced to 49 items with Filipino translation. Samples of 212 High School students were
the respondents of the Math Anxiety Scale. Exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with an
oblimin rotation was conducted to discover the factor structure of the selected items and the correlations between
the factors. A criterion of .40 or higher was established for the structure coefficients. The computed value of the
Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin of 0.88 and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity (approximate X2 = 10646.788, p< .001) indicated
that the intercorrelations among the items are statistically significant and of a sufficient magnitude to conduct a
factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM)
to observe if there must be items to be eliminated. The computed Relative or Normed Chi-Square Value of 4.12
and the Goodness of Fit Index of 0.901 indicated that the model was deemed to have good fit with the data. The
final Math Anxiety Scale was settled containing four (4) constructs with a total of twenty-two items (22) which
produced an overall Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.964 which suggested a good internal consistency estimate of
items.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the relationship between contextual factors and mathematics
performance of 50 grade six learners in Sta. Monica Elementary School.The results could reveal that the teachers
play an important role in delivering new knowledge and skills to students. Personal factors like locus of control,
confidence in Mathematics and motivation could also be take part in achieving high mathematics proficiency.
This study utilized the descriptive-correlational design.50 Grade six pupils were chosen as the respondents of
the study since among the grade levels, they were the ones who have low mathematics performance in the Early
Grade Mathematics Assessment(EGMA). The researcher secured written permissions to conduct the study from
the Schools Division Superintendent. A researcher-made questionnaire was developed and used as instrument
in gathering the data. It was followed by the distribution of the Mathematics Achievement Test. The results
revealed that the teachers play an important role in delivering new knowledge and skills to students. They are
regarded as excellent and competent teachers based of the excellent academic achievement of the students.
The pupil’s classroom environment and school facilities are good enough to support learning. Generally, the
pupil’s locus of control emanate from internal (themselves) and external (teachers, parents, and peers).
Attitudinal factors in mathematics are highly important in mathematics education because these variables are
amenable to change by educational interventions.

Ma. Maja F. Taclas

ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT: Contextualization, localization and indigenization in reading aid students to master
the competences needed in learning the second language. We sought to determine the level of contextualization,
localization and indigenization in reading and the significant relationships among them. The study used the
descriptive correlational method and used the survey technique. One hundred seven (107) grade 10 students
were the respondents of the study which was 10 percent of the entire population. Stratified random sampling was
used.Based on the data gathered and the results obtained, the researcher had come up with the following
findings. The average mean for contextualization, localization and indigenization revealed that the levels of
contextualization, localization and indigenization in reading were high. The data also showed that when the level
of contextualization in reading was high the level of localization in reading was high. The same was found as well
with the relationships between localization and indigenization, then contextualization and indigenization. To
sustain the high level of contextualization, localization and indigenization in reading, teachers should engage
students with meaningful activities such as a visit to the significant landmarks in the community, have an interview
with local historians or engage students to different community sports and activities. Finally, an action plan should
be comprehensively implemented to ensure sustainability of the high level of contextualization, localization and
indigenization in reading.

CONTROLLED PRODUCTIVE VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENTS

Genevieve J. Bongcac

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the levels of controlled productive vocabulary knowledge of the Senior
High School students of Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School for the Academic Year 2018-2019. In gathering
data, the Parallel Version I of the Levels Test of Productive Vocabulary designed by Paul Nation to measure the
levels of controlled productive vocabulary knowledge of the Senior High School students was used. The study
revealed no particular sex can be said to overpower the other in terms of knowledge. On the other hand, when
grouped according to curricular program, there are more students in the academic track that showed mastery of
the vocabulary compared with other tracks. The result of the sports track is alarming because nobody pass the
test in all levels. It can be inferred that the vocabulary level of the students differ significantly when categorized
according to curricular program. The academic track is consistent in all levels generating the highest. When
categorized according to school of origin, the overall results show that there are only 13 percent from the private
schools who passed the test while 14 percent from the public schools gained mastery across the word levels.
The performance of the students coming from both the public and the private schools does not differ significantly.
It can be concluded that both groups have more or less similar level of mastery of the vocabulary skills. No learner
of a particular sex or academic program or school of origin can claim to have better mastery of vocabulary skills.
The findings indicate that since the students were below the passing level, they should be allowed and
encouraged to learn more vocabulary. Activities in the learning areas that exposed them to words in the higher
levels for better mastery must be implemented. Lastly, an enrichment program will be conducted to enhance the
vocabulary level of the students of Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School.

ABSTRACT: The study investigated the corrective feedback strategies in the English language class and its
influence to students’ self-efficacy in speaking performance for the academic year 2018-2019. Using the
descriptive method, 167 students-respondents were subjected and their responses were transcribed, and
analyzed through frequency and percentage, weighted mean, and multiple regressions. Results revealed that
phonological errors constitute the most number with 38 or 40.43% followed by grammatical (28.72%) and lexical
errors (23.40%). Explicit correction is most widely used corrective feedback strategy (26.60%) followed by
repetition (20.21%), clarification request (13.83%), recast (11.70%), elicitation (6.38%), paralinguistic signal
(5.32%), and the added categories such as ‘no correction’ (10.64%) and ‘supplying’ (5.32%). Students’ level of
self-efficacy belief in speaking performance is described as moderate extent (3.11 AWM). The corrective
feedback strategies do not predict to a great extent the self-efficacy belief in speaking class. A guide in using the
corrective feedback strategies has been developed based on the results of the study and is ready for validation.

SELECTED STRUGGLING LEARNERS

Madelyn F. Fajutnao

ABSTRACT: Mathematics is an exact learning area. Learners compute and solve for what is being asked. How
can they give the proper value with the right solution if they do not have a thorough understanding and skills on
the four fundamental operations in Mathematics? The purpose of this study is to craft learning activities that will
help struggling learners to master the four fundamental operations. The study is descriptive and will use of both
quantitative and qualitative methods. In gathering data for the level of learners in numeracy, the researcher will
use the result of the Numeracy Test. Based on the result of the study, it revealed that 23 or 63.88% out of 36
learners were non-numerates. The four basic mathematical operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and division. If the learners have a firm grasp of the fundamentals of math, they will be able to learn more
advanced mathematical processes far more easily. The research focuses on the numeracy test result of 36 Grade
5 pupils of Sampaga Elementary School SY 2019-2020. Findings of the study will help educators to develop,
strengthen and enhance numeracy program in school. Specifically, it will help the researcher to come up with
various fun learning activities that would elevate the performance of her learners in the four fundamental
operations.

Kathlyn L. Lim & Maria Dolores E. Hernandez

ABSTRACT: The implementation of K-12 curriculum coupled with the advent of the necessity to develop 21st
century skills among our learners strengthen the more affirmative effects of teaching man how to fish rather than
giving him a fish. Thus, teachers incorporate different activities in the curriculum to ensure the development of
lifelong learning. Project SHARES (Sharing and Harnessing of Academic Research Excellence through Sharing),
an annual culminating activity in FABINHS, patterned in ICBER 2017, provides an avenue for sharing students’
research papers and a climate for recognizing exemplary performances. To harness students’ capacity and
maximize effort, Project SHARES facelifts during its second year of implementation by integrating other subjects
thus, creating a more collaborative environment. This study aims to specify the manifestations and benefits of a
collaborative environment. This qualitative research employed observations, interviews and focus-group
discussions to gather data. The participants are the grade 11 teachers and learners. A collaborative environment
reinforces curriculum content, helps students see the intrinsic rewards of learning, builds initiative and self-
direction, offers differentiated instruction and allows teachers to meet students’ distinct learning needs and
preferences. Data used in this study were based solely on the results of interviews and observations. This study
may open research opportunities relevant in teaching Research and in assessment of/in/for learning.

CRITICAL EXISTENTIAL THINKING SKILLS AND SELF PERCEIVED LEARNING

COMPETENCIES IN INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY OF THE HUMAN PERSON AMONG
GRADE 12 HUMSS AND TVL STUDENTS: BASIS FOR DEVELOPING A LOCALIZED AND
CONTEXTUALIZED MODULE

Josephine P. Manapsal, RPsy, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the level of critical existential thinking and their self perceived learning
competencies in Philosophy class to determine the difference between HUMSS and TVL students that will serve
as a basis for developing a localized and contextualized module. A total of 71 of Grade 12 HUMMS and TVL
students who were enrolled in Introduction to Philosophy of the Human Person 1st sem SY 2019-2020 at
Francisco Osorio National High School were the respondents of the study. Descriptive-comparative quantitative
research design using purposive sampling was utilized in the study. Critical Existential Thinking Scale (CETS)
developed by Manapsal, (2018) with a Cronbach Alpha of .85 is a one-dimensional scale consists of 30-item test
with a scale of 1 to 5 (1- Never; 2 Rarely; 3-Sometimes; 4-Often and 5-Always). The Self Perceived Learning
Competencies in Philosophy Scale (SPLCPS) adopted by Manapsal (2018) is a 37-item scale with a scale of 1
to 5 (1- Never; 2 Rarely; 3-Sometimes; 4-Often and 5-Always) and a Cronbach Alpha of .89 was based from the
DepEd K-12 (2016) curriculum. The result of the study shows that both TVL (M=3.62, SD=.164) and HUMSS
(M=4.18, SD= .209) Grade 12 students are critical existential thinkers. However, there was a significant difference
t(69)=12.61, p=.001 in the level of their critical existential thinking skills. Similarly, that both TVL (M=3.66,
SD=.150) and HUMSS (M=4.21, SD= .236) Grade 12 students are highly competent in Philosophy class.
However, there was a significant difference t(69)=12.18, p=.001 in the level of their learning competencies. This
study is basically derived from the national standard learning competencies designed in the K-12 curriculum of
“Introduction to Philosophy of the Human Person” which is exclusive for Grade 12 who took the subject. The
result of the study implies the vision of the quality of 21st century learners as far as developing critical thinking
skills is concerned which would lead to attaining the goal toward global competence and academic excellence.
This study would be an avenue in developing teaching strategies and innovation in their intervention in developing
modules to help learners become more critical thinkers and philosophically inclined.

CULTIVATING RESEARCH CULTURE AND INTENSIFYING RESEARCH COMPETENCE

THROUGH PROBE (PRACTICAL RESEARCHERS OPPORTUNITY BLAST FOR
EMPOWERMENT)

Jayson B. Agarin, Jezreel B. Punto & Joyce D. Santino

ABSTRACT: This study determined the effects of Project PROBE (Practical Researcher’s Opportunity Blast for
Empowerment) in cultivating research culture and intensifying the research competence of students in Felix
Amante Senior High School. The study employed the descriptive research design particularly the evaluative
design. Survey questionnaires were given to the participants about their attitudes and behavior of students
towards research before and after the implementation of the project. This study utilized random sampling.
Findings revealed that before the PROBE the computed weighted mean on the perception of students regarding
research is 3.17 which is interpreted as Neutral. It means that not all students have positive perception towards
research. Findings also revealed that after the PROBE, the computed weighted mean on the perception of
students regarding the conduct of PROBE is 4.08 which is interpreted as Strongly Agree. This means that
students have a positive attitude towards research after the said intervention. Furthermore, the computed t value
of 3.290 is greater than the critical t value of 2.2621, then the null hypothesis stating that the PROBE (Practical
Researchers Opportunity Blast for Empowerment)has no significant effect on the students’ perception on
research is therefore rejected. This study focused on the analysis on the effects of PROBE to improve the interest
towards research among the students of Felix Amante Senior High School (formerly San Jose SHS) for the
school year 2018-2019. The study will be able to provide guidepost on how research will be converted into avenue
for intellectual exercises to lessen the stigma that research is a complex subject to deal with.

Marco Antonio Sosobrado

ABSTRACT: This research discusses the current welding practices of Grade 12 students enrolled in SMAW
strand in GCCNHS. This study was descriptive using survey questionnaire adopted from Adu ( 2011) study and
was administered to thirty five (35) SMAW students in GCCNHS in a purposive sampling procedure. This was
conducted to GCCNHS section Phoenix. Data were analyzed using mean, frequency and percentage. The
survey reveals that male learners enrolled in SMAW and most of them were in their teenage years, received
welding trainings in the school yet and expect to pass the NC II certificate soon. The arc welding process is the
most widely used (99%) in welding process. Seventy eight percent (78.00%) of SMAW students have average
level of knowledge of hazards in industry and 22.00% have low level of knowledge of hazards in industry. About
ninety five percent (95 %) of respondents are highly prone to hazards in industry and five percent (5%) are less
prone to hazards in industry. It was also found out that fifty percent ( 50 %) of them suffer from various eye
problems and about forty eight percent ( 48%) suffer from various skin diseases due to exposure to radiations
from the welding arc/flame during their welding application practice. SMAW offerings in GCCNHS faced
challenges of lack of tools, equipment and materials for students’ application of theories and knowledge. Their
exposure to trainings from other TecVoc institutions helped them to be globally competitive. This research is
limited only to Grade 12 section Phoenix students in GCCNHS. Students skills is limited only to Arc Metal welding
since this is what offered tract. Furthermore, this is limited to the welding practices among SMAW learners. This
research is a pilot study in the Division of Gingoog City. It is in this research where welding practices and skills
are being assessed to determine what areas need to be improved and what challenges need to be addressed to
help learners be readily prepared for future job locally and abroad.

Miranda Garcia

ABSTRACT: This study aims to ascertain how Grade 6 teachers utilize curriculum integration and how they
apply teaching strategies that enhance learner’s numeracy and literacy skills in K to 12 classrooms. It examined
teachers’ lesson plans, activity sheets, and other instructional materials being used during the learning delivery.
Moreover, it identifies the challenges in teaching literacy and numeracy skills and any constraints for integrating
curriculum within and across subject areas. This study utilized descriptive method research. Set of questionnaires
were used to gather data. Moreover, teachers were also rated using the RPMS-PPST COT during the classroom
observation. Their DLL and IM’s were also examined and analyzed. In order to gather rich data, they participated
in the Semi-Structured Interview Schedule and Focus Group Discussion. Generally, teacher’s utilization of COT
1 (Curriculum Integration) & COT 2 (Enhancement of Literacy and Numeracy Skills) were mostly not evidently
practiced in their learning delivery as among the 9 indicators of the COT-RPMS tool. They encountered difficulty
on how to integrate curriculum within and across subject areas as reflected in their DLL, and as seen during the
classroom observation proper. Moreover, findings revealed that teachers’ lack strategies to enhance the literacy
and numeracy skills of their learners. Grade 6 public school teachers served as the respondents. In this research,
the level of numeracy and literacy skills of Grade 6 pupils were not evaluated. This implied that there is a need
to include learner’s academic performance to gather more data on their literacy and numeracy skills for improved
decision making. The teacher requires in-depth skill of mastering the subject matter and being able to establish
the interrelationships between different subjects for integration. Teachers must anchor firmly on a foundation of
knowledge and use these skills to enhance learners’ literacy and numeracy skills.

respondents of this study that teachers possess professional qualities and often - use pedagogical approaches
which made them attained the objectives in science teaching. In line with this, success was noted in the delivery
of science in lecture and laboratory components. However, problems in the availability of learning resources were
detected and discovered that teacher-related factors might compromise the delivery of science instruction. The
results of the study reveal that, school administrators and science department heads should conduct regular
class observations. Master teachers on the other hand, should be retrained to better determine the skills and
competencies needed by the teachers who are encouraged to attend seminars, trainings or workshops focussing
on the enhancement of skills on lecture and laboratory components. Most importantly, the proposed
enhancement programs must be reviewed, considered and implemented to intensify science teaching.

Jeffrey C. Cerujano

ABSTRACT: This action research aimed to design and evaluate a slide deck presentation as Strategic
Intervention Materials in Quadratic Equation in Banilad National High School. The conduct of this study was
deemed necessary to aid and assist Grade 9 learners in addressing the least mastered competencies on the
identified topics through the use of a more creative and highly-technological means of an intervention material.
A descriptive research method was employed in this study which made use of a self-made survey questionnaire
in the form of an assessment checklist as the main data gathering instrument. Two groups of respondents was
utilized including forty-seven (47) Mathematics teachers in Nasugbu East District who were purposively selected
and fifty (50) Grade 9 students who evaluated the designed slide deck presentation as SIMs. Computation of the
weighted mean and ranking as well as an independent t-test was used in the treatment of the data. Findings
revealed that the designed SIMs particularly its parts and features were effective as evaluated by the two groups
of respondents, thus, it could serve its purpose of addressing learning gaps. However, a significant difference
between the perceptions of the two groups of respondents were noted on the parts and features of the SIMs
which obtained t-test values of 4. 11, 3.97, 3.86, 2.97 and 3.05 and 3.87, 3.65, 4.31, 3.82 respectively which are
all greater than the critical value of 2.23 with degree of freedom of 10 at 0.05 level of significance. In the context
of these findings, the researcher concluded that the designed slide deck presentation as SIMs could purportedly
serve its purpose. Prior to this, in the development of such intervention materials ensuring its effectiveness, it is
hereby recommended that the teacher must consider learning styles, needs, strengths and weaknesses of every
individual learner. With this, it is recommended that these materials could be utilized to create Mathematical
literate learners in this 21st century.

Neomi Dorcas Viterbo Castillo & Delon A. Ching, Ed. D.

ABSTRACT: The study designed an interactive learning module for Mathematics Review Program for grade
seven learners at Plaridel Integrated National High School. The module is particularly intended for the use of
grade seven non-numerate learners in NIT2L. This study utilized descriptive method, specifically developmental
in nature. Descriptive method is concerned with describing the characteristics of the population. Developmental
is concerned to the improvement of material. Descriptive-developmental research was used in this study because
it aimed at the acceptance level of the designed interactive learning module using the perception of the
respondents and the students’ proficiency after using the interactive learning module. Some of the learners
slightly learned in the competency performing addition, subtraction, multiplication but majority of the learners are
least learned in division. While majority of the learners do not have applying skills. It verifies that the least
mastered skill in problem solving skill is applying. It means that majority of the learners are least learned in
applying skills although some of the learners have understanding, analyzing and evaluating skills. It showed that
there is a significant difference in the pre-test and posttest scores of the respondents. The respondents strongly
agreed that the objectives, content, activities, and assessment of the interactive learning module were effective
as an interactive learning module for Mathematics Review Program. This limits the study to the arithmetic skills:
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; and problem solving skills: understanding, applying, analyzing,
and evaluating. This study is heuristically structured in response to the improvement of the numeracy skills of the
students.

Jovine Krisell L. Cuevas

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to determine the personality type and study habits of HUMSS Grade 12
learners to be able to propose an enhanced guidance program that will help the school and the community in
producing a globally competitive individual. This study used random sampling in determining the respondents of
this study. Respondents are delimited only to learners under the grade 12 HUMSS Strand. In order to gather the
needed data, the researcher used the Big-Five Personality test and a study habits survey. Sixty respondents out
of the 167 learners participated in this study. Results showed that majority of the respondents possess openness,
most of them are agreeable, a few of them have a conscientious personality and the least are extraverts and
neurotic. Both learners were found to use different study habits like concentration, remembering, organizing time,
test taking, and motivation. Results shows that learners under this strand should be open to different study habits
in order to improve their academic performance. Having a seminar about breaking bad study habits and
personality type discovery will be essential in helping the learners in attaining their optimum potential as a globally
competitive individual.

Azenith G. Mercado

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to reveal the role of Project PEER as a tool in developing the performance of
Grade 11 students in General Mathematics in Gulang-Gulang National High School. This investigation is a
comparative research using Project PEER as the treatment, a project which was proven effective in Junior High
School math. It was conducted among the 46 Grade 11 students of GNHS whose First Quarterly Grade in
General Math ranged from 75-79. Their first and second quarterly grades and scores in written works,
performance tasks, and assessments were compared, that is before and after the implementation of the
treatment. Students whose grades improved in the Second Quarter had also undergone same scores and grades
analyses. Project PEER was able to decrease the number of SHS students who got grades of Fairly Satisfactory
in SHS math and was able to help them reach at least the level of Satisfactory by the resulted increase in Written
Works, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment. The study implied that a classroom or an area in the
school be converted into a Math Center to cater students for their peer tutoring sessions. This study wanted to
reveal the attempt of Project PEER to help decrease, if not eliminate the problem posed by different learning
paces.

DEVELOPING READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS THROUGH READ TO ACHIEVE,

COMPREHEND TO EXCEL (RACE): A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

Ladylyn P. Quiling, Henly M. Regio & Jonathan S. Villanueva

ABSTRACT: Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PHILIRI) results of Lecheria National High School show
that for three consecutive school years, the number of Grade 10 students who are in the frustration level in
comprehension has reduced from 16.78% in 2013-2014 to 11.00% in 2014-2015 to 10.68% in 2015-2016. This
study aimed to achieve 0% frustration level of Junior High School completers. Using experimental method of
research, 14 Grade 10 students who fall under the Frustration level were part of the program with a series of
reading intervention sessions on the development of reading comprehension skills following the SIPOC (Supplier,
Input, Process, Output, Customer Model). Scores in the pre-reading inventory and post-reading inventory were
collected and interpreted. Pilot testing results showed that, among the 14 students under Frustration level, 12 or
86% of them showed improvement on reading comprehension, thus, surpassing the said level. However, 2 or
14% of them still remained under Frustration level. After the conduct of the reading intervention sessions, the
process performance of the students from the pre-reading inventory to post-reading inventory revealed that from
10.68% of frustration level, the program reached its target of 0% frustration level since nobody among the
participants got a score lower than 5 out of 10 in the post reading inventory. Results revealed that RACE program
was effective in eradicating the number of Grade 10 students under Frustration level. It is recommended that the
school should take into account a comfortable room or space where reading intervention will be done; teachers
must be nice and knowledgeable and teachers must be approachable and willing to help anytime.

CASSAVA SIOMAI

Eleonor Guiruela

ABSTRACT: The study primarily focused on the development and acceptability of Cassava flour by-products,
i.e. Cassava Butterscotch, Cassava Macaroons, Cassava Pastillas, Cassava Okoy, and Cassava Siomai. It
aimed to further explain findings on the following problem areas: the level of acceptability of Cassava flour by-
products as to its sensory qualities; the most acceptable cassava flour by-products; the physical and chemical
properties of cassava flour and the significant difference in the evaluations made on the level of acceptability of
Cassava flour by-products as to their sensory qualities. Experimental method was applied as a research design
of the study. It consists of the following procedures: first, the preparations made for Cassava tubers; second, the
preparation of ingredients, tools/utensils and equipment; third, the testing and re-testing of the recipe; fourth, the
standardization of recipe, and; fifth, the sensory evaluation of Cassava flour by-products. For the statistical
treatment, weighted mean and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine the acceptability and
differences in the perceptions of evaluators on the Cassava flour by-products and also the Scheffe Test for
measuring where the difference lie. The evaluation results on the level of acceptability of Cassava flour by-
products are the following: Cassava Butterscotch, Cassava Pastillas, Cassava Okoy and Cassava Siomai were
“very acceptable” while Cassava Macaroons was “highly acceptable”. Hence, the research hypothesis that there
is no significant difference in the perceptions of the evaluators had been attained. The results show that there
are both significant and insignificant differences in the evaluations of cassava flour by products in terms of
appearance, aroma, palatability, texture and general acceptability.

Jonathan C. Landicho

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to describe the students’ performance in Science 10, to identify the least
learned competency, to develop strategic intervention material based from the least mastered competency, to
evaluate the developed SIM and to improve the SIM based from the evaluation of other Science teachers. The
researcher utilized the descriptive method of research in this study. The twelve science teachers from Padre
Garcia National High School were the respondents of the study. Results showed that the students’ performance
in all quarters is low. Based from the least learned competency, the researcher developed SIM and was
evaluated by science teachers. The evaluators strongly agreed with the content, strategy and assessment being
used in the developed Strategic Intervention Material. On the other hand, they disagreed that the developed SIM
is difficult to use. Evaluators suggested that the activities should be short and more interesting, and assessment
should develop high order thinking skill. The researcher recommended that other teachers may also develop SIM
to be used in improving students’ performance to least-mastered competency and may also be used for more
effective teaching-learning process.

ABSTRACT: To develop and utilize a classroom management assessment tool using Deming cycle model which
is a response to ISO 9001: 2015. Initially the problem of the current classrooms are enumerated as basis for
improving the Balayan National High School classroom. Deming cycle is also known as the Plan-Do- Check-Act
(PCDA) cycle. It involves developing plan for improvement. It will be followed by doing, the implementation of the
plans to be made. Checking is finding out if the doing stage can achieve and desired set in the planning stage.
Acting involves evaluating results as positive or negative. If however, negative, then other plans to improve the
center are made. Thus, the cycle is continuous. This study shows that the classrooms still need the additional
physical set-up even if classrooms already have EMIS corner but there is a need to add physical facilities such
as bulletin boards and information corners. Based on the results of the study, there should be a series of
programs focusing on the failed targets such as the physical set-up and tools and equipment for the teaching
and learning process. The problems of the current classrooms are enumerated as basis for improving the Balayan
National High School classrooms. By employing the Deming cycle model of Plan, Do, Check and Act are
expected to occur improvements.

Joselito M. Quintana

ABSTRACT: The study focused on developing and internally validating modules for the following identified
competencies for the subject Practical Research 2 for STEM students: cites related literature using standard
style (APA, MLA or Chicago Manual of Style) (CS_RS12-If-j-2); and synthesizes information from relevant
literature (CS_RS12-If-j-3). Using the descriptive research design, the students’ needs were underscored first to
serve as the basis for constructing the modules. Afterwards, the modules were internally validated by the Master
Teachers at Trece Martires City Senior High School in terms of content, presentation, and instructional design.
Results revealed that the students have indeed needs in the identified competencies. Moreover the modules
were assessed to be effective in terms of content, presentation, and instructional design. The modules are
assessed as effective. However, the modules should be further evaluated in terms of their impact to the
achievement of the competencies. This shall be done in the future by having these modules used by the students.
One of the contextualized subjects offered in the Senior High School is Practical Research 2. Currently, available
instructional materials in the said subject are generic in nature which means that they do not cater to the specific
needs of the students who belong to a specific track and discipline. Thus, the researcher was enthused to develop
and validate a module in Practical Research 2 which is contextualized to the strand STEM – the strand he handles
most of the time.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this research was to develop a supplementary activity for specific lessons
in Science 5. The development of the supplementary activity focused initially on one certain topic which was
perceived by Science teachers as one of the lessons needing supplementary activities. Further, this research
considered the Grade 5 Special Science Education Class (SSEC) as future recipients of the researcher-made
supplementary activity. The validation of supplementary activities for Grade 5 was also conducted for further
enhancement of the material. The school head, master teachers, and several teachers in Taytay Elementary
School served as the respondents of the study. There were 10 respondents who were purposively selected to
serve as validators. They were given enough time to scrutinize and give suggestions on the researcher-made
supplementary activity in Science for Grade 5 SSEC. An adapted validation tool was administered to the
respondents to gauge their perception on the material in terms of organization, clarity, comprehensiveness, and
appropriateness. Findings indicated that the researcher-made supplementary activity in Science 5 for Grade 5
Special Science Education Class attained grand mean of 4.34 with verbal interpretation of “Very Much
Acceptable”. Thus, the researcher-made material could be utilized in Grade 5 SSEC learners. Another study
would be conducted to assess the effect of the material to the performance of the learners. This research

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF SUPPLEMENTARY LEARNERS MATERIAL IN ENGLISH

III

Proponents, Aleli P.Punzalan & Jasmin O. Del Mundo

ABSTRACT: The poor academic performance of learners in English reflects the deteriorating quality of
education in public elementary schools in the Division of Calamba City based on the three consecutive years’
results of the LAPG. In this light, the researchers developed a supplementary learners’ material in English for
Grade 3 pupils in the Division of Calamba City and the study determined the validity and acceptability of the
localized supplementary learners’ reading materials in English among Grade 3 pupils in the Division of Calamba
City. The study employed descriptive-quantitative research design which allows the use of a survey instrument
to solicit data and information pertinent to the determination of validity and acceptability of the proposed learners’
reading materials. Survey questionnaire was used as the main instrument of the study. The questionnaire was
modified based on needs of the study. The instrument was validated by Master Teachers, EPS I English, and
other curriculum expert. Weighted mean was the main tool in analyzing the obtained data. The results implies
that what makes reading comprehension evident among Grade 3 pupils is their attitude in teaching-reading
process. This attitude is manifested on the way they interact with others regarding what they read. Positive
interaction is a manifestation of a positive classroom atmosphere, which as cited by Dorado (2017) is one that
fosters a sense of security and confidence in students, allows them to feel comfortable about sharing their
knowledge, and contributes to successful learning.

DEVELOPMENT OF BIO – BASED PLASTIC

Melencia Rosario D. Coronel

ABSTRACT: This research project aimed to develop and produce an innovative plastic from cassava peel,
which are added by chitin derived from snail, with glycerin as plasticizer. Hoping that through deep theoretical
works and experiment, this product might be used in the industry in the near future, to solve the Philippines
problem in concern with mass of mismanaged plastic waste.This project was done through the extraction of chitin
from Golden Apple Snail (Pomacea maculate) which entails the: 1.1 Preparation, 1.2 Deproteinisation, 1.3
Demineralisation, 1.Deacetylation and 1.5 Drying. Upon the preparation of the bio-based plastic, the investigator
prepared the extracted chitin, glycerin, fined cassava peel and water. The mixture was then treated in a cooking
pot. After drying, the samples produced were cut into 1- inch- by-2- inch for testing. Upon the results, the
experimental design of this product is better when the bio plastic is reinforced with glycerin, thus, this key material
served as a binder which promotes durability. The organic plastic was made possible through the use of chitosan
from snail, and mainstay from cassava which both agriculture waste and cost effective. The commercial plastic
still have a greater tensile strength compared to the produced organic film. Conversely, the bioplastic on
flamabilitytest lasted longer compared to polyethylene. When the organic plastic was tested and evaluated, the
results showed that water- resistant coating reduced the h2o, alcohol and NaOH absorption of the hydophilic
starch.

Anabel A. Calaor, Charmain M. Valero, Brenda R. Garcia & Cynthia E. Ligaya

ABSTRACT: This study capitalized on the development of localized rubrics for Science laboratory activities. It
determined the level of students’ performance in different Science process skills. It also assessed the
usefulness of rubrics in evaluating students’ performance, and the constraints met by teachers in the activities
and rubrics preparation. Moreover, it sought to develop localized rubrics for Science laboratory activities that can
be used by Public Secondary Schools in Batangas City. The researcher used descriptive research, and a
researcher-made questionnaire as data gathering instrument. The respondents of the study were 108 Science
teachers from public secondary schools in Batangas City. Purposive sampling was used in choosing the
respondents, and weighted mean for statistical tool. Results showed that the students’ performance was
considerably low. The listing of criteria; providing feedback, and providing explicit guidelines were considered the
most useful function of rubrics. Lacking of laboratory apparatuses/chemicals, safety equipment, and insufficient
time for the activity were the problems encountered. An authentic localized rubric for laboratory activities was
developed.

DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE MODULE USING 2C-2I-1R APPROACH FOR THE LEAST

MASTERED SKILLS

Evelyn E. Reña

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study was to develop and validate science modules based on the least
mastered skills and assess the impact of the developed modules on students’ knowledge acquisition using 2C-
2I-IR approaches in teaching-learning process and determining the possible approaches for the least mastered
skills in Science at Calubcub 1.0 National High School. The teacher-researcher used different activities which
promote the 2C-2I-1R approaches that the Department of Education mandated to be used for 21st century
learners. One of the major concepts that emerged from this study is the idea that Grade 10 students in Calubcub
1.0 National High School can take different approaches to learning. The 2C-2I-1R teaching approaches in
teaching Science, specifically Earth science, which is a branch of science that offered last first grading School
Year 2019-2020, was applied in classroom teaching. The pretest and post test consist of multiple choice type of
questions covering knowledge, understanding, processes and performance. After exploring the different
approaches in teaching and learning for a period of one month, the impact of approaches and module was
measured using the survey question. The control and experimental groups were matched in terms of average
grade in Science 9 and pretest scores. The result of the study is rated highly interested. Therefore, 2c-2I-1R
approach is suggested that should be widely used in conventional classroom at various levels of education. The
study was descriptive-experimental and was used the pretest-post test pre-experimental design. Descriptive part
of the study involves the learning profile and students’ perception survey. The study was experimental type.
Equivalent group study design was used. Experimental part is the student’s performance in Science 10 before
and after applying the teaching approaches.

Riza Castillo & Grace Ilagan

ABSTRACT: The study aims to find out the level of competence in swimming to come up with a learning module
in San Pascual Senior High School I that will help the students address the least and not mastered competencies.
Using the quantitative descriptive method, the researchers determine the level of competence of the students in
swimming and ascertain the items in which the students encountered difficulty that resulted to the least and not
mastered competencies, along with a 60-item pretest which was administered and analyzed. The results drawn
proved that the students barely have knowledge regarding swimming due their low mean, MPS and PL. Out of
the five competencies tested, only one of them reached the mastered level. Only the Grade 12 students were
the respondents of the study because swimming is only offered for them and is only good for the Second
Semester. The crafted learning module is a practical method to reach a satisfactory solution for the lack of
learning materials in Physical Education and Health. Hence, making it more feasible since the duration of this
study is only for a semester.

DIDACTIC DESIGN FOR DIVERGING AND ENHANCED ENGAGEMENT TOWARDS 21ST

CENTURY SKILLS (3DEE21): A PEDAGOGICAL MODEL FOR PHILIPPINE SENIOR HIGH
SCHOOL STEM
Dennis B. Masangcay & Dr. Marie Paz E. Morales

ABSTRACT: This study focused on developing and designing a pedagogical model for Philippine Senior High
School STEM strand and lesson exemplar to support science teachers in giving quality instruction and to address
the instructional gaps and challenges on the implementation of K to 12 basic education programs. This study
employed a developmental design incorporating quantitative and qualitative approaches to gather and interpret
data. In doing such, the researcher assessed the pedagogical practices of 15 master/ key teachers from both
public and private offering STEM as one of the courses in the SHS based from 2013 NAT results. After developing
the contextualized model grounded on both quantitative and qualitative underwent two-phase validation process
through focus group discussion (FGD) with the participation of administrators, school heads, master teachers
and teacher researchers. Notes from the FGD were thematically analyzed and applied to enhance the model
based on the determined validation dimensions. Finally, lesson exemplars were crafted based on the developed
and validated model with the assistance of the participants, school heads and administrators. Based from the
findings of the study, the teacher participants convey strong agreement on the practices presented reflecting the
five priori domains such as curriculum, instruction, feedback system, learning environment, and students’ learning
abilities and teachers’ instructional skills. Qualitative data generate 13 primary construct saturations (practical
themes) and 37 indicators (specific practices). A pedagogical model was developed with primary domains
(prisms) such as Curriculum, Instruction and Learning Environment. Lesson exemplars in all science specialized
courses was developed and proposed highlighting it salient parts such as preliminaries, lesson phase and
reflection.
The data gathered is limited to the chosen participants based on the stratification levels of achievement in NAT
mirroring schools in the Philippines with same test performance.
In reviewing and analyzing the core findings of this study, the Department of Education and Department of
Science and Technology may adopt the model and may be a good reference of revising some educational
policies and implementing measures to make science education instructional delivery effective and meaningful.

DIGITAL ASSESSMENT: EMPOWERING 21ST CENTURY TEACHERS IN ANALYZING

STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE IN CALAMBA CITY

Dexter M. Palanas, Anthony A. Alinsod & Paulo M. Capunitan

ABSTRACT: Educators use students’ scores on standardized tests to evaluate the impact of instructional
programs designed to improve student achievement (Sussman, J.M., 2016). Thus, a data-driven-decision is
crucial in policy formulation and the development of the interventions in addressing the gaps in education. The
rationale of this study is to ensure the accuracy and validity of consolidated assessment data and to provide
appropriate interventions using checking and analysis software application. The study used one group pre-post
evaluation design. An orientation on software application was conducted to the sampled teachers in DepEd
Calamba City. The participants were given questionnaire regarding their perception and reflection on the use of
software application in assessment from third to fourth quarter of school year 2018 – 2019. The research was
limited on the effectiveness of the software application in terms of checking, scoring, recording, organizing,
analyzing and reporting assessment data. In the process, the researchers requested permission to the developer
of the Zipgrade to be able to use the software in the study. The results show that assessment software application
has a significant difference compared to traditional assessment procedure in terms of a) provision of accurate
and valid data, b) cost effectiveness, c) flexible features in organizing and analyzing data and d) speed of
providing feedback. The study implies the importance on how teachers should adapt in emerging technology,
specifically, on software that may help them not only in assessment but also in instruction. It was recommended
to formulate a local policy on digital assessment.

DOES RELATIONSHIP MATTER?: THE EFFECT OF TEACHER BEHAVIOUR ON THE

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS

Rio G. Arbutante & Desiree Christine Chiong-Arbutante

ABSTRACT: In today’s educational setting characterized by standards-based instruction (RBEC and the K to
12 Curriculum), standardized-testing (NAT), and accountability, it is not uncommon to realize that the focus of
teachers has shifted from delivering an instruction that is long lasting to maintaining fidelity to the core curriculum
through competent core-area knowledge, solid instructional design and delivery, and effective assessment and
evaluation of the student‘s knowledge. This position, however, ignores the impact of the teacher‘s effectiveness
in creating a positive relationship with the student, having an encouraging disposition towards students, and
establishing a learning environment regardless of differing culture and diversity. This study investigated the
relationship of teacher interpersonal behaviour and learning styles to academic performance in Science of the
Science Curriculum students of Malaybalay City National Science High School. Specifically, it seeks to find out
the effect of overall teacher interpersonal behaviour on the academic performance of students as it relates to
their learning styles and ascertain the relationship between teacher interpersonal behaviour and academic
performance. This study used descriptive research design which employed mixed method using questionnaire
supported by a focus group discussion from 93 high school students from Grade 7 to Grade 9. Results of the
study indicated that regardless of learning styles preferences and frequency, students perform better
academically when they perceive their teacher to be high in proximity and that there is statistically significant
relationship between the students’ perceived teacher interpersonal behaviour and academic achievement.

Marlyn G. Nuno

ABSTRACT: The researcher engaged the talented students in mathematics to be part of the intervention
Dunong Ko, I-share Ko! The researcher listed the students who belong to low performing students and
encouraged to help their peer in remedial sessions. The idea of connecting with their peers and eliminate the
hesitation of asking questions to the teacher is the main goal of the program. The contact between the teacher
- student and student - student encouraged for a student-friendly environment. Thru the program, the students
performed better inside the classroom. This result showed that the intervention using “Dunong Ko, I-share Ko”
helped a lot in the performance of the students. This implies that intervention program is useful and
comprehensive on the part of the students. The result of MPS shows that there is a difference between the
performance level of students in pretest and post test. Based on findings of the study, it is recommended that a
test be conducted and analyzed in order to diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of the students. Similar to
the “Dunong Ko, I-share Ko”, mathematics teachers should use different intervention programs in order to
improve the performance of the students.

EATING ACTIVITY TECHNIQUE – INTERVENTION FOR NUTRITION GOAL (EAT-ING)

Aireen S. Castillo & Kristine Mae C. Casalme

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this research is to improve the nutritional status of Grade Four- Masipag
pupils of Tagaytay City Central School for the school year 2019-2020 through EAT-ING. Apart from its main
purpose, which is to improve the nutritional status of the pupils, it also has other purposes such to change the
eating habit of the pupils during lunch and to help them have a habit of eating healthy food. This research however
emphasized on monitoring the lunch of all the pupils not only during recess time but most especially during lunch
since it is packed food and its implementation in their nutritional status. As observe, many foods commonly
brought during school lunch are loaded with saturated fat. But when kids get adequate nutrition like during lunch,
they are sick fewer days and don’t need to miss school, which can lead to improved performance. With these
perspectives, the teacher researchers tried to use the EAT-ING strategy for the pupils in Grade Four- Masipag
to have good eating habit not only during recess time but also during lunch break. Eating behaviours adopted
during this period are likely to be maintained into adulthood, underscoring the importance of encouraging healthy
eating as early as possible. Health professionals recommend consumption of at least five portions of fruit and
vegetables a day, reduced intakes of saturated fat and salt and increased consumption of complex
carbohydrates. Schools are an ideal setting to teach students to practice healthy habits when it comes to making
food and beverage choices. Teachers can take part in promoting healthy eating in school by requesting to parents
that healthy food must be the food of the students in the school. School health professionals, administrators,
teachers, parents and school nutrition environment influence a students’ access to healthy foods and beverages
at school.

DURING CLASS BREAK

Merry Joy H. Ching & Delon A. Ching, Ed. D.

ABSTRACT: A well-managed classroom is expected to be observed which posts a challenge to every teacher.
This action research tests whether the donated educational board games to different sections in the extension
site of the school has significant contribution in controlling the behavior of students the during class break.
Descriptive and correlational research designs were utilized in response to the objectives set in the study. The
researcher-made questionnaires were administered to 100 randomly selected respondents during 1st Quarter of
the school year 2019-2020. The data gathered were treated through the use of mean, SD, and Pearson r. Based
on the responses of the students, the use of Educational Board games makes them very much behaved in the
classroom during the class break for it gives them simple entertainment that keeps them inside the room. This
also revealed that the higher engagement observed from the students in playing the educational board games
contribute significantly for them to become very much behaved in the classroom during the class break. This
study limits the idea on the level of engagement of the students in playing educational board games and the
assessed behavior of the students specifically situational and person-related. This is holistically planned for the
junior high school students to develop strategic competence and sportsmanship among classroom players and
shape student’s behavior that will lead to a well-managed classroom.

EDUCATIONAL GAMES AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL AID IN TEACHING ENGLISH OF

SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS OF DISTRICT IX, DIVISION OF BATANGAS CITY

Clarice Daryll A. Bal-Ot, Lpt

ABSTRACT: The researcher observed that despite of using educational games learning activities where
students are exposed to explore their learning in English subject; there are still rooms to improve such learning
opportunities. For these reasons, the researcher believes that educational games may help teachers to attain
learning objectives and enhance the achievement level of students in English and teachers’ competence on how
to utilize educational games in making lessons more interactive to satisfy learner’s goal in learning. This may be
significant moves towards improving instructional aid in English. The research design applied in this study was
the descriptive method with the questionnaire as the main instrument to gather important data. The findings
revealed that majority of the junior high school teachers in Pedro S. Tolentino Memorial Integrated School were
female, single, early adult, and less than five years in the teaching with earned master’s units. Meanwhile, the
constraints encountered by the teachers in using educational games is to maintain the order and discipline in the
conduct of the activities as well as the appropriate or aligned educational games towards learning competencies.
The researcher recommended that educational prepared by the researcher may be reviewed and used by the
English teachers as their reference in integrating educational game in teaching English lesson. Moreover, the
school authorities may provide ways to improve and acquire recent technology, equipment or any materials to
be used for instruction and teaching-learning processes so that teachers may incorporate the different
educational games in English lessons.

HIGH SCHOOL

Nixon G. Agienza, Sheryl Joy G. David, Eva G. Fenol & Jhona D. Panaligan

ABSTRACT: This action research determines the relationship between explicit vocabulary instruction and
reading comprehension of students who took Reading and Writing subject. The data of this paper were acquired
from the given assessment of the chosen Grade 11 Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) students of Pantalan
Senior High School. Students of thirty-five (30) from different TVL strands Home Economics (H.E.) (10), Industrial
Arts (I.A.) (10) and Information and CommunicationTechnology (ICT) (10) took a vocabulary test to determine
the reading comprehension level of each learners before conducting the study. After collecting their scores,
students would take explicit vocabulary instruction for a week. Lastly, the same learners will have the same
assessment to test if the instruction is helpful and to determine if it would have effect in the reading
comprehension of the learners.Date was gathered from the pre-test and post-test scores of the vocabulary
assessment. Study results show that explicit vocabulary instruction does have effect on reading comprehension
of the students. Teachers should use explicit vocabulary instruction as the primer of every lesson that should be
connected with the area of specialization that the students take. Identifying more terminologies and words would
help the learners comprehend and understand the lesson more. Hence, more vocabulary test should be
conducted in order to show greater improvement to the students’ reading comprehension. After completing this
research, a next possible step would be to continue assessing learner’s reading comprehension to verify the
effect of explicit vocabulary instruction is to the learning growth of the students.

EFFECTIVENESS OF AUDIO-RECORDED STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIAL IN

ENHANCING STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION

Sarah Jane C. Nañola

ABSTRACT: Teachers in high school may find teaching quite frustrating for struggling readers since high school
competencies no longer focus on the basics of reading rather using reading for discovery, critical, and analytical
learning. Hence, this study would try to prove the effectiveness on the use of local community resources through
the Audio-Recorded Strategic Intervention Materials in bringing solution to reading problems of high school
students. In this study, the Audio-Recorded Strategic Intervention Material would provide scaffolding by using a
fluent native Filipino model as an example of effective reading practices. A quasi-experimental design was utilized
in this study to compare the formative tests and post test results of the thirty (30) student-respondents from the
comparison group and thirty (30) student-respondents from the experimental group. The Astal Guide was the
rubric used to determine the effectiveness of the developed audiobook which was evaluated by a pool of experts.
Results revealed that the developed audio-recorded material was generally effective in teaching Literature to
Grade 9 students. The presentation, content, and technical requirements gained an average score of 4.56
described as excellent. Based on the findings of this study, there was a significant difference between the results
of post-tests of the two groups of student-respondents. Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, it is
recommended that teachers and administrators need to use the developed ARSIM in teaching English literatures
to guarantee a better reading performance. There is also a need to use the developed ARSIM for remedial
instructions and interventions to improve learners’ retention rate.

Neniel Escatron Dumanjog

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to help the students acquire the knowledge and concept of Force in
a simple way through contextualized learning activity. This is also to address the need of the teachers who are
teaching grade 8 Science. Tested and effective contextualized learning activities can be a way of solving the low
performance of the students based on the Mean Percentage Score (MPS). The participants of the study were
Grade 8 Special Education and Special Program for the Arts sections of Dapa National High School S.Y. 2017 -
2018. These sections were categorized as homogeneous for implementing the contextualized learning activity.
Thirty-four (34) students from Grade 8 SPEd are the experimental group and were subjected with contextualized
learning activity and thirty-four (34) students from the SPA were given traditional way of teaching. To determine
the level of performance of the students’ mean percentage score were used. The significant difference between
the pre-test and post-test performances of the experimental and controlled group were analysed through the
analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). There is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test
performance of control and experimental groups when they were implemented according to different teaching.
The pre-test and post-test performance of students exposed to contextual and localized teaching activities is
much higher than the group of students exposed to traditional and not contextualized learning activities.

ABSTRACT: This study examined the effectiveness of the E-Enhancer on selected topics in Analytic Geometry.
The E-Enhancer is an elearning instructional material developed using eXeLearning, a free software that can be
used to generate educational interactive web content. Quasi-experimental design without a controlled group was
employed to determine the effectiveness of the E-Enhancer on the performance of forty-one (41) second year
students of Pambayang Kolehiyo ng Mauban taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics.
A pretest and posttest consisting of fifty (50) items multiple choice type question were given to collect data.
Copies of the E-Enhancer were given to all the student respondents through their android or iOS mobile devices.
Students who have laptops were also given their copies. Students who neither have android, iOS devices nor
laptops were exposed to the E-Enhancer through laptop connected to widescreen television provided every class.
The performances of the student respondents were analyzed using paired sample t test through Statistical
Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Based on the results of the study, the performance of student respondents’
scores increased significantly from the pretest to the posttest. This suggests that there is sufficient evidence to
conclude that exposure of the student respondents to the E-enhancer brought about the improvement. A checklist
for the acceptability of the E-Enhancer were adapted and given to the student respondents and Mathematics
faculty of Pambayang Kolehiyo ng Mauban. Weighted mean was used to determine the level of acceptability of
the E-Enhancer. The criteria were based on instructional objectives, learning content, format and language,
presentation and the perceived usefulness of the E-Enhancer. Findings revealed that the E-Enhancer is effective
and all the students and faculty respondents agreed that the E-Enhancer is strongly acceptable in teaching
Analytic Geometry, and maybe to other subjects as well.

EFFECTIVENESS OF ENGLISH LEARNER’S MATERIAL IN ENHANCING GRAMMATICAL

COMPETENCE OF GRADE 9 STUDENTS: A BASIS FOR SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL
DEVELOPMENT

Johanna Paula Norma P. Dangan

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted in order to determine the level of effectiveness of the English learner’s
material on the grammatical competence of the Grade 9 students of a public secondary school in Calamba City
in terms of the use of participles, gerunds and adverbs. The study is anchored with the Universal Grammar
Theory of Noam Chomsky, Zone of Proximal Development of Lev Vygotsky, and the ADDIE Model. The
respondents of the study were the randomly selected Grade 9 students and all the Grade 9 teachers. The
students were subjected to grammar test and self-rating assessment of grammatical competence in participle,
gerund and adverb before and after using the English learner’s material. Answering the survey questionnaire for
assessing English instructional materials was limited to the perception of the respondents of the study. Based
on the findings, Grade 9 students are not grammatically competent in terms of the use of participles, gerunds
and adverbs. The teacher’s guide for Grade 9 teachers are not effective in guiding them in the teaching of their
lessons. The learner’s material used by the students are not effective in helping the students understand their
lesson and activities. In contrast, it is effective in producing better results in grammar competency based on
student’s perception.

Maerladiza A. Sarcos

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Game of the Marine
Organisms (GMO) Board Game as a tool in improving the competence in ecology of Grade 7 junior high school
students of Sariaya National High School. The study used the experimental method of research using quantitative
approach in order to describe the nature of the situation, as it existed at the time of the study. The experimental
method of research employed was quasi-experimental research in analyzing the significant difference between
the results of the pre-test and the post-test of the participants before and after using the Game of the Marine
Organisms (GMO) Board Game. The findings revealed that most of the Grade 7 students of Sariaya National
High School had least mastered the competency in Ecology (Biology 7).The Grade 7 students had poor
performance in ecology (Biology 7) before the use of the game board.The Grade 7 students had improved their
performance in ecology (Biology 7) after the use of the game board.Thus, the game board is an effective material
that can be used in improving the competency in ecology (Biology 7). There are two major limitations in this study
that could be addressed in future research. First, the study focused on the 70 grade 7 students of Sariaya National
High School. Second, the method used focused only on a single group. This action research provided significant
data on the effectiveness of the use of game board in improving the competence of the learners in terms of
ecology under Biology 7.

ABSTRACT: Educators face many challenges today. One must adapt to a generation of students who have
grown up using the Web. Teachers must learn and teach information literacy that includes effective usage of the
Internet. The study on Web 2.0 applications can help students develop the skills they need to succeed in the 21st
century world. The Internet and the Web 2.0 tools have revolutionized the learning process on many levels. The
use of Educational Videos, eBooks, Wikis, Videos and Audio Sharing, RSS Feeds and the likes have been
available freely on the Internet. The researchers aspire to design a system that will embed the said examples of
Web Tools Application. The author made use of the descriptive survey method of research. Documentary
analysis and interview were also done. Descriptive research process goes beyond gathering and tabulation of
data, to test the hypothesis or answer questions relevant to the study. Since descriptive research deals with the
prevailing situations, gathering data became easy. The sources of materials have been very much available and
accessible to the researcher. With the results of this study, it had proven that the use of technology or more
specific Web-based environments cannot only provide adequate means to optimize assessment activities, but
also make available other resources to enhance learning and teaching. Instructors will be able to create their
lecture presentations while browsing their notes using the system. Difficulty in creating and designing exams will
no longer be a problem because an exam generator was included.

strategy was implemented to the experimental group while the comparison group used the usual reading strategy.
A match-pairing through ranking became the basis of choosing the respondents. The researcher solved for the
mean, mean difference, standard deviation and skewness in order to compare the formative and post-test scores
speaking tests scores of the two groups. Furthermore, in finding the significant difference between the formative
speaking tests scores and the post test of the respondents in the two groups, the Independent T-Test was used.
The study showed that there is a significant difference in the comprehension level of those respondents who
used PANDORA’s box as a reading strategy and those who did not based on the different formative tests and
post-test given to them. Consequently, the effectiveness of PANDORA’s box as a reading strategy in enhancing
the comprehension level of selected grade 6 pupils was proven in this study. Moreover, the researcher strongly
recommends using a more realistic approach in teaching reading to pupils who lacks technology. It is also of
great importance to increase the learners’ involvement in reading as an enjoyable time to enhance their creative
minds in preparing objects and ideas that can be found inside PANDORA’s box.

EFFECTIVENESS OF PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES IN TEACHING ENGLISH

UTILIZED BY THE INTERMEDIATE TEACHERS IN
DISTRICT IV DIVISION OF BATANGAS CITY

GHERMINE SHANE CAPUL

ABSTRACT: The English teachers nowadays are challenged to develop students’ competencies in using the
English language as far as global competition is concerned. According to Republic Act 10533 Sec. 5 (e), the
curriculum shall use pedagogical approaches. These approaches find ways to help learners get excited about
their learning, in responding to their abilities and in building learner’s competence in doing holistic and engaging
activities. The descriptive method of research was used and utilized the questionnaire as the main data-gathering
instrument. There were 68 intermediate teachers and 4 administrators in public elementary schools in District IV,
Division of Batangas City. The statistical tools applied were frequency, percentage, weighted mean, chi square
and coefficient or significant relationship. All pedagogical approaches (2C-21-1R) were effectively utilized in
teaching English by the intermediate teachers. There was a significant difference in the assessments of the two
groups of respondents on the effectiveness of utilizing the constructivism, collaborative, integrative and inquiry
based approaches. On the other hand, no significant difference was noted in the effectiveness of reflective
approach. The assessment of the administrator-respondents on the performance of learners in English resulted
to satisfactory level as evidenced by the average weighted mean of 4.26 while the assessment of the teacher-
respondents supported the idea that the pedagogical approaches affected their learning satisfactorily as evident
by the average weighted mean of 4.26. The researcher proposed an action plan to enhance the utilization of
pedagogical approaches in meeting the demands for development of 21st century learning skills among learners
where teachers must be encouraged to provide more activities related to real life situations that would improve
the performance of learners in English as affected by the pedagogical approaches to a very satisfactory level.
Future researchers may conduct studies similar or related to this present study in a wider scope utilizing all
intermediate teachers as respondents.

ACHIEVEMENT AND THE MOTIVATION OF LEARNERS IN MATHEMATICS.

Zaneth K. Cabajon

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the effects of Model Drawing Strategy in problem solving on the
achievement and motivation of Grade 6 Mathematics learners. This study was conducted in San Jose
Elementary School during the school year 2017- 2018. The study employed the pretest-posttest quasi-
experimental research design. Two intact classes from the Grade 6 learners of San Jose Elementary School
served as the participants of the study. One intact class of 30 learners served as the experimental group and
the other intact class of 30 learners served as the control group. The experimental group was taught with the
use of Model Drawing Strategy Approach while the control group was taught without Model Drawing Approach
Strategy. A 30-item researcher-made achievement test with 0.861 reliability coefficient was used to gather the
data. An adopted Motivation Scale with 0.846 reliability coefficient was utilized to assess the learners’ level of
motivation in Mathematics for both groups. Experiences of the learners when taught with Model Drawing
Approach were also gathered by administering the prompts to the experimental group only. The data gathered
on the achievement and motivation of learners were analyzed and interpreted using mean, standard deviation,
and analysis of co-variance. Findings revealed that the mean score of the achievement test of learners in
Mathematics exposed to Model Drawing Approach was higher compared to the mean score of the achievement
test of learners in Mathematics not exposed to Model Drawing Approach. Hence, there is a significant difference
of the academic achievement of Grade 6 learners towards Mathematics when taught problem-solving with the
Model Drawing Approach and without using Model Drawing Approach. However, there is no significant difference
in the motivation of Grade 6 learners towards Mathematics when taught with Model Drawing Approach and taught
without Model Drawing Approach. Through the use of the Model Drawing Approach, problems in the learners’
academic achievement could be addressed. Hence, learners’ mathematical skills in solving word problem is
honed.

EFFECTS OF TAKE HOME ACTIVITY SHEETS (TAKHAS) AS AN INTERVENTION TO THE

PERFORMANCE OF THE GRADE TEN STUDENTS WITH HIGH ABSENTEEISM RATE

Sherill S. Rebusa

ABSTRACT: This study focused on the effectiveness of Take home Activity Sheets (TakHAS) as an intervention
to the performance in Mathematics of the Grade 10 STAR (students at risk) students with absenteeism problem
in Dela Paz National High School and the significant difference between the Mean Scores of the students in
their First Periodical Pre-test and Post Test. Based on the experience of the researcher, even if you prepared a
lesson with 100% objective that all the students will learn, unsatisfyingly, maximum learning cannot be achieved
because some of the students were absent. Thus, this condition (absenteeism) is one of the major causes why
students failed and school performance in terms of Mean Percentage Score (MPS) decreased yearly. The study
was limited to the two sections of Grade 10 with the most number of absent students for the month of June of
the School Year 2017-2018. The respondents were asked to answer survey questionnaire on the reasons why
students are always absent. Based on the result of the survey, using social media was the highest reason of
being absent of the respondents. Fifteen students were given TakHAS as an intervention on the lessons that
they were absent for four weeks. While the remaining fifteen students were under the traditional strategy of
teaching and intervention. Then, post test was given to the students. The researcher compared the scores of the
students from the pre-test and post-test and determine the difference between the two sections through T-test.
Based on the result, there is a signficant difference between the Mean scores of the Grade ten students in their
First Periodical Pre-test and Post Test. This means that there is a positive result on the performance of the
students after TakHAS Intervention was given to the students with high absenteeism rate. Thus,Takhas was
effective to use as an intervention to the students with high absenteeism rate and would prevent student from

ABSTRACT: This is study was conducted to determine the effect of technology instruction in the mathematics
academic performance of grade 11 learners. The Grade 11 Learners of Lipa City Science Integrated National
High School SY 2019-2020 were the subjects of study. 35 learners composed the control group and 35 were
the experimental group. The control group was not subjected to the use of technology instruction instead the
lecture discussion method and traditional method of teaching were used to them while the experimental group
was subjected to the use of technology instruction like the computer and the use of calculator. The instrument
employed in this study was self-constructed and validated mathematics achievement test in Pre-Calculus. This
test was pre-validated in two sections of grade 11 SY 2018-2019. There is no significant difference on the pre-
test in Pre-Calculus for the control and experimental group as indicated the p- value of 1.0 which is greater than
0.05 levels. There is significant difference on the level of performance on the post test in Pre-Calculus as
indicated by p value of 0.015 is less than α=.05. Teachers should apply variety of teaching instruction with the
use of technology, have a plan of monitoring the students’ achievement and use innovative strategies.

GRADE SIX PUPILS

Nieves R. Opeňa, Ph. D

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to improve the level of numeracy of the mathematics pupils through intervention
tool, E-Game. It’s reason that the researcher was motivated to conduct this study to determine the effectiveness
of E-games as a tool in the teaching-learning process on students’ performance of pupils. To measure the
numeracy level, 10-item test administer. The results of 82.7% were belong to a non-numerate was very alarming
to Mathematics practitioners. The researcher and mathematics coordinator attempted to improve the level of
numeracy of the grade six pupils using an intervention tool assessment. The result of the pre-test administered
to 119 pupils before the implementation of e-games that 91 or 82.73% belong to non-numerate level. These
students marked improvement in numeracy test after the implementation of the e-games. The action plan
provides technical assistance for teachers teaching mathematics were monitored. The result of this action
research led the researcher to recommended the continued administration of numeracy test to grade six pupils
in her new assigned school. Results of numeracy test should be used addressing the pupil’s needs in
Mathematics and to be measured also the effectiveness. It is also recommended that E-games be continuously

E-LEARN (EVERY LEARNER IS NUMERATE): BASIS FOR NUMERACY ENHANCEMENT

AMONG THE GRADE V PUPILS OF SASTRE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Hajie Abogado

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this research was to determine the impact of E-LEARN to the numeracy
skills of Grade V pupils of Sastre Elementary School. Specifically, this will sought to answer the numeracy level
of the Grade V pupils before the implementation of E-LEARN; the numeracy level of the Grade V pupils after the
implementation of E-LEARN; the significant difference in the numeracy skills of the Grade V pupils before and
after the implementation of E-LEARN; and the program enhancement could be derived from the result of this
research. A causal-comparative design is a research design that seeks to find relationships between independent
and dependent variables after an action or event has already occurred. It will employed statistical tool such as
MPS and t-test for independent samples. The study revelead that the mean percentage score of the learners
before the implementation of E-LEARN was 46.15% with is very far from the national target of 75%. On the other
hand, after implementing E-LEARN, the mean percentage score of the learners become 55.64%. Since the
computed t-value of 4.14 is greater than the critical value of 2.179 at .05 level of significance with 12 degrees of
freedom, the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the numeracy level of the pupils before and
after the implementation of E-LEARN was failed to accept due to the mean difference of 2.85 found in the test
before and after the implementation of the intervention program. This means that E-LEARN is effective in
improving the numeracy level of the grade V pupils of Sastre Elementary School. Finally, the E-LEARN program
will enhance based on the result of the study.

EMBRACING THE MAXIM OF BASIC RESEARCH AND ACQUIRING THE CULTURE OF

EXCELLENCE (EMBRACE): A RESEARCH ON REDIRECTING STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS AND
ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF RESEARCH

Mike Keivin P. Mayuga

ABSTRACT: Research is a systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources to establish and
reach new conclusions. However, learners viewed that research subject is a burden on their part. This has
become a problem on the part of the teachers especially on the students since it is not the only subject that they
take. For this the researcher used 381 respondents who were graduated students from batch 2017-2018 and
batch 2018-2019. Using an online questionnaire, the data regarding on the perceptions and attitudes of the
respondents were gathered. This study used the quantitative research. From the data gathered, the respondents
perceived research as a good training to think critically and rationally based on the focus of their study. However,
it contradicts to their attitude in dealing the research subject where they did their research for the sake of
compliance. For them it is just a paper in exchange of their grade without the application of the findings of their
study. So, the researcher crafted a Research Program named SALIK•SEEK (Strong Alliance of Learners for
Innovation and Knowledge Seeking) which will lead the learners to redirect their attitudes and perceptions about
research. It was anchored on the Curriculum Guide of the subject Inquiries, Investigations, and Immersion. This
Research program is the implementation of their research projects or outputs so that they could appreciate the
real concept of research. The researcher believed that in this way it would create a culture of excellence through
innovation and transformation.

EMPOWERED: ELICITING JOURNALISTIC INTEREST IN ENHANCING REASONING ABILITY

OF SELECTED STE STUDENTS OF BATANGAS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Ryan B. Garcia

ABSTRACT: To effectively function in the society, it is indeed a must for every learning institution to develop its
students academically. Part of this academic development is the thrust of establishing the students’ strong
reasoning ability. With the successful transition of the country’s educational system to global educational trend,
it is but a must for every learner to develop his/her reasoning ability which is, significantly, a big factor towards
his/ her success. It is believed that one’s reasoning ability has rooted from his/her awareness on the things
happening around him/her. The way he/she responds on societal and how he/she addresses them definitely
defines the kind of thinking he/she has. In this case, journalism takes in and undeniably, it plays a vital role in
honing one’s ability to reason out objectively. This study entitled “Empowered: Eliciting Journalistic Interest in
Enhancing Reasoning Ability of Selected STE students of Batangas National High School” concentrates on the
students’ level of inclination to journalism and how it impacts on the quality of their reasoning ability. The target
subject of the study was the selected STE students of Batangas National High School. The Descriptive Method
was used in the study. This research was conducted within the premises of Batangas National High School in
the Schools Division of Batangas City. The respondents of this study were the 32 selected STE students who
are enrolled for the current school year, 2019-2020. Researcher-made questionnaire was utilized to obtain the
needed data. The results showed that students need to develop their interest in journalism to further enhance
their reasoning ability. Their foundation in journalism as well as in expressing themselves needs to be solidified
to effectively and significantly deliver sound and acceptable reasoning. Journalism related activities in classroom
discussions can greatly contribute to the students’ perceptive skills. Thus, this only proves that one’s journalism
background and interest essentially relates to his or her reasoning ability. It is then recommended that journalism
should be integrated in classroom discussions to maximize students’ involvement.

ENHANCING MANIPULATIVE SKILLS IN PERFORMING ROUGHING-IN INSTALLATION

THROUGH INDIVIDUALIZED PROJECT-BASED ACTIVITIES

Glenn M. Gambi, Ph.D. & Irene M. Gambi

ABSTRACT: Skills competence and mastery through repetition of activities are the principles behind
competency-based training in Cagayan de Oro (Bugo) School of Arts and Trades. However, it was observed that
some learners lack competence in performing roughing-in installation in installing lighting fixtures. The prevailing
observation was noted due to the fact that most class activities were designed for group activities. The situation
exhibited two facts: (1) learners who were eager and fast were able to perform most of installation activities;
meanwhile, (2) learners who were slow failed to perform the learning activities satisfactorily and were left behind.
The descriptive – quasi-experimental design was used in the study. The findings disclosed a significant difference
in the skills performance in pre and post assessment specifically in the experimental group, and improved both
the speed and accuracy of learners as an effect of the designed interventions. The study provides significant
insights that learners can learn and enhance skills performance if given sufficient time, practice and mastery
through individualized project-based activities.

ENHANCING STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT IN BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLE THROUGH

LABORATORY METHOD AND PREDICT-OBSERVE-EXPLAIN STRATEGY

Leah R. Burbos

ABSTRACT: Student experimentation underlies all scientific knowledge and understanding (Veselinovska,
et.al., 2011). It provides students’ opportunities to think about, discuss and solve real-life problems as well as
find relationships among concepts or to verify hypothesis. The aim of this study is to enhance learning on the
biogeochemical cycle through the use of laboratory method with the aid of POE (Predict-Observe-Explain)
strategy. This study used a causal-descriptive design. With this aim, a Grade 6 class of 30 students, 14 of whom
are boys and 16 are girls were used as sample. Pre-test and post-test were administered to collect the data in
this study and were analyzed by using dependent t-test. The results showed that there is a significant difference
between the students’ pre-test and post-test scores after the laboratory method was used with the aid of POE
strategy. Exposing students to hands-on activities allows them to understand concepts better as they get to
manipulate things, observe the results and verify if their predictions are true or not. It is suggested that science
laboratories must have adequate amount of equipment and must be utilized more often to help students’
understanding of science concepts.

ENHANCING STUDENTS’ METACOGNITION AND READING COMPREHENSION USING

GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

Ramier P. Jubay, Jr., Erilyn Michelle L. Batinga & Darren Rey C. Javier

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to reveal interesting insights on the effective use of Graphic Organizers (GOs) in
the teaching of reading comprehension. It also intended to identify the metacognitive strategies frequently used
by selected Grade 11 students using the Metacognitive Awareness Reading Strategy Inventory (MARSI) Version
1.0 by Mokhtari and Reichard (2002). This study used the experimental research design using quantitative
approach with one group pre-test and post-test to determine the effectiveness of the GOs, paired samples t-test
and independent samples t-test to check the significant differences in the results of the pre-test and post-test, as
well as sex; while descriptive method was used for the results of MARSI. Findings of the study showed that the
use of graphic organizers in enhancing the reading comprehension has a positive impact on the students, and
that sex does not affect the reading comprehension scores of the respondents. The results of MARSI revealed
that the most commonly used reading strategy is the Problem Solving Strategy (PROB). Both male and female
respondents mostly use the Problem Solving Strategy (PROB) when reading. With this result, teachers are
encouraged to consider utilizing graphic organizers in class. The students should also be given the opportunity
to explore the other reading strategies that would help them enhance their comprehension skills through
differentiated activities.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS

Cheryll V. Bermudo, Melody A. Vargas & Paul Jowen R. Blancaver

ABSTRACT: In the advent of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE), Masbate faces
challenges in its implementation in which educational materials written in different dialects of Minasbate are
indispensable. As an initial stage to have such, variants of Minasbate dialects are needed to be collected and
analyzed. The study used a quantitative approach. Through a survey-questionnaire, the frequency of the
equivalents of the terminologies lifted from MTB-MLE Tagalog LM for Grade 3 was identified. The study revealed
that there are four major languages spoken in the province- Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Bikol, and Minasbate- which
can be attributed to the geographical situation of Masbate. The data further showed that Minasbate is also
influenced by Waray. These languages have influenced one another which resulted to different Minasbate
dialects. The exact places where they are used were also identified. The study included 100 Tagalog terms only
and identified their equivalents in Minasbate as used by 414 respondents. Further studies on Minasbate and its
dialects should be conducted. The equivalents of Tagalog terms in different dialects of Minasbate can serve as
a basis of developing MTB-MLE educational materials.

EVALUATING CUENCA SECONDARY SCHOOLS LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

USING THE CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING ENVIRONMENT SURVEY
(CLES)

Welnie P. Lunar

ABSTRACT: Constructivist teaching-learning process had been introduced in Philippine education upon the
implementation of the K to 12 Program of the Basic Education Curriculum. The researcher evaluated how
constructivist is the learning environment in Cuenca. A cross-sectional survey design was conducted on the
secondary schools' Mathematics class in Cuenca district. Three hundred thirty learners were the respondents.
Stratified random sampling was used to identify the samples and the Slovene’s formula to find the sample size.
CLES questionnaire was utilized to gather the data needed in finding the learning environment in Mathematics
class. Their responses were interpreted and analyzed using a simple statistical tool such as weighted mean,
ranking, and ANOVA. The study reveals that the secondary schools in Cuenca district had been practicing the
constructivist approach to some extent but not to its fullest. There was still a need to strengthen the teachers’
practice of the aforementioned approach. It also showed that there was no significant difference in the perception
of the learners from the three secondary schools in the district. Exposure to constructivist practices needs to be
intensified. Peer observation, critiquing, and discussions were suggested. Further research on the impact of the
constructivist approach needs to be done.

their level of comprehension also increases. (5).That reading program must be established at an early age to
promote better reading habit and thus will also establish better reading comprehension. Reading habit, reading
comprehension and its correlation are the main variables. The findings were tabulated and thoroughly analyzed
based on the score sheets. The issue about non readers or slow reader being promoted in highschool is
alarming. The result of this research may be used to better improve the reading habit and reading comprehension
of not just Grade Six pupils but also the other Grade Level as well.

ADULTS IN DOLORES DISTRICT

Alberto M. Canlas

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate ALS Project S.K.I.L.L.S and its impact on job opportunities among
out-of-school-youth and adults in Dolores District. Utilizing the descriptive-correlational research design, 100 out-
of-school-youth and adults who attended skills training program were involved in this study. The study employed
the purposive method of sampling and primarily anchored to the adult learning theory of Knowles (2007). The
assessment of skills training program is highly effective. Most of the respondents are holder of national certificate
(NC-II). Employment status was low. Most of respondents’ perception on job market opportunity is highly in-
demand. The employee and employer are strongly satisfied. Test of relationship reveals that objectives,
facilitator’s efficiency, learning environment and learner’s output show significant relationship between employee
satisfactions. In the same manner facilitator’s efficiency, learning environment and learners’ output also reveal
significant relationship between employer satisfactions. The research became beneficial to the lives of
unemployed out-of-school-youth and adults. Alternative Learning System are encouraged to use this program in
developing knowledge, skills and attitudes among out-of-school youth and adults. ALS Project S.K.I.L.L.S is

EVERY STUDENT AN EXPRESSIVE WRITER: ADDRESSING MATH ANXIETY AND

ACHIEVEMENT

Roxanne J. Montojo, Connie M. Obedencio & Jayson S. Digamon

ABSTRACT: This study determined the effectiveness of the expressive writing intervention in reducing Math
anxiety and increasing Math achievement of Grade 11 Temperance students in Gingoog City Comprehensive
National High School. The study primarily anchors itself on the concept enshrined in Vygotsky’s Socio-Cultural
Theory which provides that journal writing reduces anxiety. This quasi-experimental non- equivalent controlled
group design utilized the following instruments; namely, a reliability-tested modified Math anxiety scale and a
researcher-made Math achievement test. Using descriptive statistics and Analysis and Covariance (ANCOVA),
the effect of expressive writing intervention was examined. Results revealed that there was a statistically
significant difference between the groups’ anxiety level. This means that the expressive writing activity did have
a significant effect on the level of anxiety experienced by the students in their Math class in favor of the treatment
group. Likewise, there was an increment of the Math achievement of the treatment group. It implies that the
strategy have increased the achievement of students in Math while decreasing their anxiety. The Focus Group
Discussion revealed students’ varied responses concerning the intervention. Majority of the responses extolled
the benefits of the strategy on their Math anxiety. The study implies that expressive writing is not simply a tool
for expressing negative thoughts but also a medium by which two persons, the teacher and the student can
connect their thoughts thereby opening the door to mitigate emotional apprehensions in the context of the
teaching and learning process. The novelty of this study lies on the fusion of expressive writing of anxiety and
reflective writing on the content.

EXCEL IN GENMATH: USING SPREADSHEETS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING PIECEWISE

FUNCTIONS

Jeanne Marie L. Lago

ABSTRACT: This study aimed at exploring the use of spreadsheets (mobile Excel) in teaching and learning
piecewise functions in General Mathematics to Grade 11 students. Using the ADDIE model, instructional
materials were developed. Two groups of students were randomly assigned as the control and experimental
groups respectively. The experimental group was taught using mobile Excel while the control group was not. It
was found out that both groups performed better in the post test than in the pre test. Moreover, ex perimental
group scored higher than the learners in the control group. Learners also were able to apply the skill taught by
creating a tax calculator. As a result in the interviews conducted, learners were happy and not worried about their
mathematics class when spreadsheets are used. They believed the skills taught to them on using piecewise
functions and using spreadsheets will be of help for them. This suggests that spreadsheets may be explored in
teaching and learning other topics in General Mathematics or even in other subjects. However, there was a
challenge in the use of mobile Excel for it would entail longer time for discussion because learners need time to
be familiar with the application.

Rose Mary W. Argana & Marionel U. Briz

ABSTRACT: The study explored the effects of explicit genre and implicit teaching of genre through authentic
literacy experiences on the development of comprehension of informational and academic texts as well as
recreational reading attitude among the selected grade ten students of San Pablo City Integrated High School,
Division of San Pablo City. To help resolve this issue, a pretest-posttest design with correlations employing one
experimental group and control group were used. A t-test of paired samples, one-way ANOVA were utilized as
ascertains if there were significant differences within and between the groups. Pearson r was used to verify
relations between the variables under investigation. Findings revealed that genre teaching whether explicitly or
implicitly taught had significant effect on the comprehension of informational texts. However, explicit teaching of
genre had a greater effect on comprehension than implicit teaching using authentic literacy experiences. Results
also showed that genre teaching whether explicitly or implicitly taught did not have any significant effect on the
academic and recreational reading attitude among the selected grade ten students. However, the students who
were taught using explicit genre instruction showed significant improvement on some of the items on attitude
towards reading in school and at home.

ABSTRACT: This action research was conducted to help students develop their vocabulary skills through
parent-teacher collaboration and to help parents and teachers understand that collaboration is an important
aspect that warrants enough attention. Thus, few studies focus on parent-teacher collaboration to help students
develop their vocabulary skills. This study applies Beck, McKeown, and Kucan’s (2013) three-tiered model of
vocabulary to gauge the vocabulary level of the students. Moreover, the researchers used quasi-experimental
research to test whether or not collaboration between teachers and parents is effective in improving the
vocabulary skills of students. This study used pre-test and post-test to measure students’ vocabulary skills. A
training matrix was developed by the researchers to be used for the month-long duration of the experiment. In
the matrix, the researchers employed vocabulary exercises during the experiment. The data gathered were
statistically analyzed using SPSS. The results of the study are presented and discussed with reference to the
aim of the study; (1) based on the computed mean of the pre- and post-tests, it was found out that there is an
increase in the students’ level of performance in vocabulary. Moreover, (2) the results accepted the hypothesis
that there is a significant difference before and after the exposure to parent-teacher collaboration. Lastly, (3) it is
proposed that parent-teacher partnership shall be the next priority of the school Continuous Improvement
Program (CIP) which will highlight communication skills primarily.

performance of 12th Grade learners in Quantitative Research class. Academic performance in this study refers
to how well the Grade 12 learners performed in the actual research and academic research paper writing not
basing on the test score results. The study utilized the descriptive research design employing quantitative and
qualitative approaches. Nemesio-EpifaniaTaneo Memorial High School, Senior High School Department was the
locale of the study. There were 90 Grade 12 learners who participated, selected through stratified random
sampling based on strands. Perceptions of five (5) teachers, who were members of the group, were also
obtained. The learners were asked through an in-depth interview, with interview questions validated by two
Master Teachers and one School head, and a survey questionnaire with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.926 for III-A,
0.867 for III-B, 0.944 for III-C. The study revealed that facebook group was helpful in learning Quantitative
research, though there were challenges during its implementation. Essentially, the facebook group helps the
learners in doing quantitative research in different means based on students and teachers’ perception. There are
aspects that require considerations in using facebook group based on the quantitative survey of the students and
interview from both students and teachers. On the brighter side, students read articles or materials before sharing
them making facebook group sharing not a concern but as an advantage. As a whole, facebook group has
brought a positive emotional impact to the learners. The facebook group participation and interaction occurred
after class sessions and member teachers served as participant observers. The intervention lasted for a month
before it was assessed for its effectiveness. Findings and outcomes of this study served as basis on the action
plan geared towards the possible adaption of the intervention to other subjects in High School, further
enhancement of teaching programs/strategies or mode of teaching, and orientation of the administrators, master
teachers and educators, learners, and parents as to the effectiveness of the intervention

posttest performances of the experimental group and the control groups, the t-test for correlated mean was used.
The results of the study revealed that there is no significant difference between the performance in the pretest of
the experimental and control group. Moreover, study shows that there is no significant difference between the
posttest scores of the experimental and control groups. Thus, based on the findings and conclusion, facilitating
learning through localization and contextualization pedagogy in Araling Panlipunan is evidently and significantly
essential in the teaching and learning process.

FEEDBACK THAT FEEDS FORWARD: EXPLORING TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS AND

PRACTICES ON GIVING ORAL CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK IN THE ESL CLASSROOM

Lawrence B. Icasiano

ABSTRACT: In learning a new language, it is natural for learners to commit errors. When students do so, it
manifests that they are still on the process of developing their command of the language. Therefore, as a
response to these errors, teachers are expected to provide corrective feedback, oral or written, to ensure that
the learners will not commit the same errors. Oral corrective feedback plays a crucial role in the kind of scaffolding
that the teacher will provide to promote L2 progression. In view thereof, this quantitative study, based on the
principles of grounded theory, investigated the perceptions and practices of the four (4) English language
teachers of Pantay Integrated High School on giving oral corrective feedback taking into account the teachers’
OCF practices and perceptions on students’ uptake. To this end, the researcher employed semi-structured
interviews and classroom observations. The findings revealed that all teachers, regardless of age and
experience, have a positive perception of OCF and consider it as fundamental tool in language learning.
However, senior teachers prefer explicit correction and elicitation OCF types due to the ease of use in detecting
and correcting errors. On the other hand, younger teachers choose metalinguistic feedback and clarification
request types due to their ability of eliciting critical thinking.

ABSTRACT: This study examined the level of financial literacy and common practices among high school
students of Roberto E. Sato Memorial National High School,Philippines. A survey was conducted on 240
randomly selected high school students to determine and compare their knowledge on numeracy, compound
interest, inflation, time value of money and money illusion and risk diversification. Results showed that their level
of financial literacy is low with a mean score of 1.92 or 38.4%. However, there is no significant relationship
between the level of financial literacy and the combined monthly income of their parents. Likewise, female high
school students have higher level of financial literacy than the male high school students. The students never
have savings deposit for college education and they never join business-related organization. More than 50% of
the students are beneficiaries of the Pamilyang Pantawid Pilipino Program (4Ps) who have health insurance.
Results of this study recommend for the integration of Financial Education in Secondary Curriculum to increase
the level of financial literacy among high school students.

FLIP THE FLOP: STUDENT MOTIVATION AND CLASS PERFORMANCE IN A FLIPPED

RESEARCH CLASSROOM

Joe Victoria Bitas Daelo

ABSTRACT: SHS students find the research subject challenging in lieu of its extensive competencies, numerous
class outputs and varied performance tasks. Moreover, millennial students designate more time and interest on
the use of social media and technology. To address said difficulty and lack of interest, this research aimed to
improve student engagement and student performance using the flipped classroom approach. In this mixed
methods research, Grade 12 STEM students chosen through purposive sampling were taught using flipped
classroom instruction which involved the use of teacher-developed instructional videos prior to class. A survey
questionnaire determined the students’ level of engagement while pre-tests and post-tests gauged student
performance. After gathering data, weighted mean and t-test were applied to facilitate analysis of test scores and
survey results. Students’ test scores showed improved performance and the survey indicated interest and
engagement towards the subject. Flipped classroom approach proved beneficial as it facilitated the use of
technology and applications familiar to the students. Consequently, the developed materials and flipped
classroom approach allowed for a more flexible and accessible form of instruction and learning.

FLIPPED CLASSROOM APPROACH AND THE STUDENT’S ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN

ENGLISH

Charisma Sj. Laviña & Reynald Joseph B. Fonte

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Flipped Classroom Approach in the
achievement in English for the first grading period of Grade 10 students of Bigaa Integrated National High School,
City of Cabuyao, Laguna for School Year 2019-2020. This study was conducted to 60 students from two sections
of Grade 10 during the First Grading Period and covered all identified least learned competencies and topics
within the said period. Quasi-experimental research design was utilized in this study. The researcher-made
pretest, formative test, and post-test for Grade 10 students were used as research instruments. The researchers-
made module was validated by the English teachers and experts. The pretest which served as tool to determine
the respondent’s beginning performance revealed that both groups were on the same level of English knowledge
and skills but in a low level. The results of the formative tests and the post-test of the control and experimental
groups implied that both groups of students were able to perform beyond the passing performance level, but the
experimental group performed better than the control group. Based on the findings of the study, the researchers
concluded that when students would be exposed to Flipped Classroom Approach their performance would
possibly improve since it was found effective in mastering the least learned topics such as making inference,
distinguishing text types and assessing relevance of materials viewed.

2019. There was one (1) group of respondents included in this action research and this consisted of eleven 11)
male and twelve (12) female with a total of twenty-three (23) pupils. Purposive sampling technique was used in
the selection of pupils. The data used in this study were the results of Pre and Post- Tests, Performance Tests
and Activity exercises (Percentage). Data Analysis used was T-Test for Pre and Post Test while percentage for
performance and exercises. The result showed that the post test scores after “Flipped Classroom Exposure” is
remarkably better as compared to the traditional approach. Looking at the mean scores, it signifies that the
variance of the Post test was smaller than that of the Pre-Test which suggest that the pupils’ academic
performance improved as compared to the pre-test result. There was 38% increase in Mean and MPS. It reveals
that the Grade Six pupils performed satisfactorily in Science Test. It is therefore implied that strong internet
connection and additional IT equipment demands attention for the next implementation. This research is timely
as it sought answers concerning to exposition of learners to Flipped Classroom in on-line education. It is a holistic
research as it focused mainly on the academic performance of the learners.

Marlon S. Marquez, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of the action research is to develop a type of window card that will keep the
answering sheet in place while the learner is answering the mathematical drill on the window card The researcher
utilized the experimental design focusing on Pre-test and Post-test. Window cards are being used to assess the
numeracy level of Grade One learners. Teacher improvised ways to keep the answering sheet and window card
intact through paper clips and other materials. There were times that paper clips were accidentally removed and
the answering sheet and window card were not returned to their former arrangement. The use of the folder type
window card prevented this from happening. The researcher noted that intentional removal of answering sheet
from the window card still happens but are treated as isolated cases. To summarize, the use of folder type window
card by grade one learners provided a higher rate of proper assessment of their answers. This study is limited to
the results gathered from grade one students of Sto. Niño Elementary School. The developed Folder Type
Window Card is undergoing the process of utility model registration at the Intellectual Property Office.

NEGOTIATING A “STRONG” TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING (TBLT)
IMPLEMENTATION AMONG SELECTED SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
IN THE CALABARZON REGION

Lawrence B. Icasiano & Rizza A. Pereyra

ABSTRACT: Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) has been adopted, and in some cases adapted, by
several EFL and ESL countries in Asia as an alternative approach to the traditional English language pedagogy
(Presentation-Practice-Production). In the Philippines, TBLT practices have been cited in numerous DepEd
trainings, curricula and memoranda as integral components of the K-12 curriculum. However, the large scale top-
down curricular revisions that were made in K-12 might have not made a direct impact in local classroom practice.
The purpose of this qualitative study, involving 10 English language teachers from CALABARZON, was two-fold:
(1) to determine the extent of TBLT practices in selected senior high schools in the CALABARZON region; and
(2) to identify TBLT-related situational constraints and affordances in the institutional, classroom and teacher
development levels that contributed to and/or hindered its growth. Results of the study revealed a “weak” form of
TBLT being practiced in CALABARZON schools. Moreover, the classroom size, teachers’ workload and lack of
TBLT training have emerged as common constraints in the local implementation of TBLT. On the other hand,
factors such as curriculum proximity, teacher buy-in, and perception of TBLT’s advantages were identified as
opportunities for TBLT to thrive in the local context. This study attempted to lay the ground work for a successful
adoption (or adaptation) of this “meaningful” (TBLT) approach ground up.

FROM PRINTS TO AUDIO-VISUALS: ADDRESSING THE GAP IN UNDERSTANDING AFRO-

ASIAN LITERARY TEXTS THROUGH FILM ADAPTATION

Roanne A. Mendoza

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to describe perception of Grade 8 students in Batangas State-University towards
learning Afro-Asian literary texts through film adaptation. This further explained the indispensability of film viewing
and reading and the challenges faced by the respondents in learning literature with the end view of enhancing
teachers’ schedule of learning activities (SOLA). With action research as the overarching design, this paper relied
on three instruments inclusive of a questionnaire, unstructured interview, and literary comprehension test.
Weighted mean was the main statistical tool used. A total of 243 respondents constituted the sample population
of this study. Findings revealed that film adaption in learning literature could help the respondents in
comprehending the theme of the story and in appreciating literature. It was likewise found that students’ lack of
understanding the background of the story, connecting the literary text to the context of the film, and devoting
time for reading a certain literary piece were the challenges commonly encountered by the respondents. On the
other hand, this study was particularly limited to the use of film adaptation in understanding Afro-Asian literary
texts, hence, less emphasis was given to students’ development of language skills while studying literature. In
general, this research provided a valuable and original contribution to the academic field as it proposed a new
scheme for the incorporation of film viewing activities in Grade 8 SOLA.

employed, a qualitative phenomenological approach. Qualitative Research (Creswell, 2003) makes knowledge
based on constructivist perspectives, uses strategies of inquiry to collect open-ended emerging data with the
primary aim of developing themes from the data. Phenomenological inquiry is grounded on exploring and
understanding the live experiences of the human beings. Upon utilizing the intended data analysis approach,
seven (7) emergent themes were generated: “Pre-marital Sex”, “Period of Adolescence”, “Mother and her support
group”, “Challenges and Personal Issues”, “Coping Mechanism” , “Period of adjustment”, and “Building a New
Dream”. This action research was conducted last year at San Vicente and Prudencia Fule Memorial National
High School. The respondents of the study are the 12 female students who experienced teenage pregnancy.
The result of this research will be used by the school community in the Division of San Pablo City. The findings
of this study will give light to the lived experiences of teenage mothers and come up with a peer support group
program and school based initiative to address their needs.

Southville 1 Integrated National High School for the School Year 2017-2018 answered a survey questionnaire to
determine their preference in Mathematics lesson and their perception on the acceptability of the FunMath after
attending a class utilizing it. The results reveal that the students favor collaborations with their classmates and
lessons with interactive games, pictures and animations. Furthermore, they are inclined to problems presented
through videos and those problems that are presented through relatable experiences. The results further imply
that the students appreciated that the instructional video allowed them to work individually and cooperatively as
well. The multimedia presentation integrated in the material also motivated them to participate actively hence
leading to a positive learning experience but they requested to be given longer time to perform some the tasks.
Overall, FunMath is given a high level of acceptability rating by the student-respondents. The researchers
therefore aim to develop more instructional materials that can show the practical implications of Mathematics.

COMPREHENSIVE READING PROGRAM

Noel D. Anciado

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to determine the status of reading programs of the schools in the City Schools
Division of Dasmarińas. The success indicators and challenges each school encounters serve as the bases for
the Division Comprehensive Reading Program. Qualitative data are gathered through focus group discussion,
online interview, and face-to face interview with select teachers, master teachers, and head teachers. Coding of
the answers, categorizing these answers and analyzing these are done to determine what goes well and what
does not. The study reveals that most of the reading programs implemented by the schools have common
challenges and perceived helpfulness. Availability, expertise, and skills of the teachers, support system from the
school community and from the stakeholders, monitoring tool, material standard assessment, and extrinsic and
intrinsic motivation of the teachers and students are the identified problems in sustaining the program.
Appreciation from the parents, enhancement of other skills, and increased participation are the perceived
helpfulness of their reading programs. The study does not cover effectiveness of the program in terms of the
figure/quantitative data. This only focuses on the uncovered issues in reading which serve as bases for the
division comprehensive reading program. The study intends to design proposal for reading development of the
learners based on the result of the study.

Cristine B. Oraña

ABSTRACT: As their Mathematics teacher, it is my duty to create an intervention that suits their ability, skills
and interest. In line with these, I’ve used GAMIFICATION as an intervention for Mathematical lessons that the
students did not mastered in every quarter. This study attempted to determine the effect of Gamification as an
intervention on the improvement of the mathematical skills of Grade Four pupils. The intervention program
includes different gaming apps that can be used by the teacher in teaching students under the intervention
program. The participants of this intervention are 50/48/46 grade four pupils who failed on the Periodical Test.
The 50/48/46 pupils were grouped into five. Each group was handled by their Mathematics teacher every week.
This intervention was done daily, after pupils’ class in the afternoon for the whole school year. The results clearly
implied that after two months of participating in the intervention program after every grading period, the
participants showed improvement in Mathematical skills. The researcher cannot control the attendance of the
pupils involved in the intervention program. The intervention was made by the teacher using different educational
application. The learners today are digital natives. They got easily bored when they do a certain thing repeatedly.
As a teacher, it is our duty to make the learning interested to them.

GRADE SCHOOL PUPILS’ PERCEPTION ON THE USE OF REWARD SYSTEM

Jeramie B. Landicho

ABSTRACT: Relatively few studies have been conducted on grade school pupils’ perceptions on the use of
reward system in the classroom. A considerable amount of research explored the multiple effects extrinsic
motivation has on student achievement and behavior yet little research has been conducted to examine the
individual student’s and teacher's perspective on reward systems. This research study determined the forms of
rewards that intermediate Grade School pupils’ received and their attitude about them, analyzed how the three
systems of motivation (ability-evaluative, task maker and moral responsibility) helped the pupils and identified
the experiences and challenges that the pupils have towards the use of reward system. The researcher used
qualitative method. Seventeen pupils who were identified by the subject teachers participated in the focus group
discussion. Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan 1985, 1991) specifically the three systems of motivation was
used as the research framework. Result revealed that badges were the most frequent type of reward system
given by Grades 4 to 6 teachers to their pupils. Record sheets and drawing stars in their notebook were
considered as least effective since these consumed too much of their time and sometimes they forgot to record
their points.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine whether the Hall Monitor System is effective in monitoring and
minimizing the classroom exits of the Senior High School learners of Leonora S. Salapantan NHS in San Miguel,
Iloilo. The research was conceptualized after observation that learners tend to loiter during class hours. Purposely
selected four sections of Grade 11 were studied from January 15 – February 9, 2018. An average of 32 classroom
exits were monitored for the first week observation. During implementation, visiting the comfort room, handling
the class multimedia projector and official meetings were the main classroom-exit reasons identified. Using the
IBM-SPSS for the computation of the mean differences using paired samples t-test, there was significant
difference in the number of classroom-exits between with and without the Hall Monitor System. The Hall Monitor
System was found effective. Learners stayed in their classroom if a teacher hallway-monitor is present and
majority of the classroom-exits were valid. This heuristic research was restricted to the last three periods of
classes, affected by official cancellation of classes. The positive result of the action research made it
recommendable for dissemination to control learners’ movement for schools with huge population and utilize

as to learners’ prior knowledge, apprehension, and intuition. The responses were tallied; the weighted mean
scores were computed and presented in tabular form including its verbal interpretation and ranking. The outcome
of the study reveals that the majority of the Grade Two learners in San Felix Elementary School are experiencing
stage fright and its effects when performing before an audience which include rapid breathing, excessive
sweating and cold hands, trembling hand and weak knees, shaky voice and dry mouth, crying out of nervousness,
feeling dizzy, and having uneasy feeling in stomach. It is also revealed that the common reasons of having stage
fright are the learners’ low level of self-confidence and fear to perform before an audience. Therefore, the
researcher concluded that stage fright is something that learners cannot get rid of. In order to address the problem
of having stage fright among the Grade Two learners of San Felix Elementary School a supplementary interactive
tool specifically an interactive video was proposed.

HEAVY METALS AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL ASSESSMENT OF WATER, SEDIMENTS, AND

OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS (TILAPIA) IN MARAGONDON RIVER, PHILIPPINES

Michael A. Jalandoon, MS

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of water and heavy metal
concentration of sediments and tissues of Oreochromis niloticus (Tilapia) of Maragondon River in a three-month
sampling period. Physical parameters were temperature and transparency while chemical parameters were pH,
salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, and nitrate. The study utilized both the quantitative and qualitative
methods for data collection and analysis. Physico-chemical analysis of water, heavy metal analysis of sediments
and tissues of O. niloticus were determined using the established standard procedures. Quantitative data on
water quality parameters and metal concentrations among sites were compared using the one way-ANOVA and
Tukey’s HSD test as post hoc test. In addition, the correlation of the physico-chemical parameters of water and
heavy metal concentrations in sediments was determined using the Pearson’s r. Physico-chemical assessment
revealed that characteristics of water are all within the permissible limit set by DENR standards for Class B water.
Both copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) showed no significant difference and within the Klokes Maximum Allowable Limit
at 20-100 ppm. The heavy metal concentrations in the tissues of Orechromis niloticus (Tilapia) were able to pass
the recommended limits joint by WHO/FAO, Food Standards Programme Codex Committee on contaminants in
food. The results of the study can be used as an initial reference of data for concerned non-government
organizations (NGOs), LGU’s, other authorities such as Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), and
the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) of Maragondon.

HI 5: STORY OF STUDENTS’ ENGAGEMENT ON SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN

GENERAL MATHEMATICS USING THE 5E MODEL

Emilie F. Mateo, MaEd, Diana Marie C. Belisario, MaEd & Ma. Victoria C. Magayon, Ed.D.

ABSTRACT: Mathematics education is characterized by an extreme complexity; and its interrelatedness to

various disciplines contributes to the learner’s cognitive and social development. Apparently, teachers need to
provide learning opportunities that will help students attain their maximum potential. Study shown that 5E
Instructional Model provides meaningful learning that could effectively improve students’ reasoning skills and
positive response to learning. In this reason, this study intends to assess the effects of Self-instructional Material
(SIM) in General Mathematics designed in consonance to the 5-E Instructional Model. Qualitatively, through
Phenomenoraphical study, eighty-two participants from different strands who used the SIM, were gathered
through Focus Group Discussion. Thereof, the meaningful statements were thematized, mapped, and interpreted
according to the meaning of the text. From the narratives of the students, it surfaced the major themes: The
feeling of high spirit, the act of a master; the structure of seamless instruction. In effect, students felt relieved,
fulfilled, and satisfied after using the Hi-5 self-instructional material. This study is heuristic in nature because it
helps numerically challenge students, though it focused only on the voices of students, yet it greatly provides
input to the instructional designer to develop the SIM according to the learning needs of the students.

HIERARCHICAL FRAMEWORK TO INCREASE SPSHS 1 ABM STUDENTS' PARTICIPATION IN

NC III BOOKKEEPING ASSESSMENT FOR SY 2019-2020

Maureen De Claro, Maria Muriel Manza-De Roxas & Estelita Marasigan

ABSTRACT: This study sought to create a hierarchical framework to increase San Pascual Senior High School
1 ABM Student’s Participation in Bookkeeping NCIII Assessment for SY 2019-2020. As SPSHS 1 envisions its
graduates to be ready for higher education and even world of work, thus, it encourages its ABM students to have
their TESDA Bookkeeping Assessments. However, there were deterrents on ABM students’ participation in
Bookkeeping NCIII Assessment which was measured based on the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Using the
quantitative research method, this study dealt with the physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-
actualization needs that the Batches 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 ABM students experienced in deciding to join
the TESDA Assessment. Through the assessment of those deterrents, majority of the respondents agreed that
their non-participation was because of their self-actualization, physiological, esteem and safety needs. They
strongly agree that they have fear of failing the test. With the result in mind, a hierarchical framework to offer
solutions in the students’ needs was proposed. Focusing more on developing the self-actualization tier, the
framework forms a system of linkages and innovations to motivate and increase ABM Student’s Participation in
Bookkeeping NCIII Assessment.

HOMEROOM GUIDANCE PROGRAM: DEVELOPING LIFE-LONG SKILLS OF THE JUNIOR HIGH

SCHOOL LEARNERS OF WEST PALALE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (WPNHS)

Montano L. Agudilla Jr. MBA; MaEd; PhD Candidate & Evelyn R. Palambiano

ABSTRACT: Homeroom Guidance Program (HGP), being part of the weekly schedule in the Junior High School
aims to develop life-long skills of the learners. In the implementation of HGP, the intellectual, emotional, social,
spiritual and technological aspects of human development are nurtured and enhanced. This is done to prepare
the learners for future career opportunities and holistically develop themselves. As such, this has to be utilized
properly and that the teachers should provide various activities addressing these concerns. With the loads of
teacher-advisers, however, this schedule seems to have been the most neglected not because teachers could
not find time doing it but because they lack modules and resources to be used according to the teacher-advisers.
This is for this reason that this action research is conducted. This case study aims to collaborate with teacher-
advisers in the development of modules and assist them in its successful implementation. Using Input-Process-
Output (IPO) Framework, this school-based study is conducted among G7 – 10 teacher-advisers and using
random sampling, G7-10 learners participate in data gathering using Focused Group Discussions (FGD’s) to
determine the students’ needs for module development and improvement and assess how the HGP affects the
lives of the learners.

Leoncia D. Lopez, Nerissa M. Natividad & Ismael C. Casquejo

ABSTRACT: This research aims to institutionalize homeroom program in school. The research made use of
quantitative and qualitative methods. The result indicated that structured delivery of homeroom is not always
given emphasis by the advisers due to a number of factors. Absence of Homeroom Guidance Committee (or
equivalent) as an authority was the main reason for the inadequacy of implementing the program. This also
translates to the conduct of the homeroom depended on the class adviser’s initiative. Furthermore, class advisers
arbitrarily conduct homeroom without considering continuity and connectivity as to structure and topics or themes.
It was also found out that the topics regarding School Discipline, Love and Responsibility, Character Formation,
Student Profiling and Cleanliness in the Classroom stood out among other topics for discussion in homeroom
class. The respondents of the research are class advisers only although the topic of the research may be
applicable to all teachers. Homeroom Guidance is often overlooked in school schedule, the research would like
to change such practice and give adequate importance to the said schedule.

ABSTRACT: The study aims to adapt an innovative way of planting to level up the gardening method of Gulayan
sa Paaralan of Malitam Elementary School while at the same time, develop an intensive teaching approach to
pupils using hands-on learning opportunities. The use of focus group discussion and experimental method was
observed in this study. The use of this approach attests how Hydroponic gardening can help teachers in
producing varieties of plants in a more innovative way. The result can be used as basis in considering and
incorporating this method in teaching agricultural concepts in Science and EPP. After an intent analysis, the
following findings and conclusions were drawn. With increasingly affordable and accessible technology, teachers
can bring the latest growing equipment into the classroom. They can inspire innovative thinking into the minds of
their students. The experiment resulted in that the type of seeds doesn’t have a significant effect on the plant
growth. However, the planting system has a significant effect on the plant growth, the hydroponic system has a
higher growth rate. This result achieves the aim of this paper which is finding a planting system that can increase
the productivity of crops. The topic discussed focuses specifically on how hydroponic gardening can help in
innovating gardening method of Gulayan sa Paaralan. The study is limited in comparing the growth of plants
grown in soil and hydroponic system given the same seed type and growing condition. The first system is the
soil-based system (traditional), and the other is the hydroponic system. The researcher also requests for an
approval to use physical facilities of the school. The researcher also seeks consent from parents of the pupils
who were involved in setting up the experiment. Full consent was obtained from the participants prior to the study.

Levi T. Dipasupil, Babielyn A. Castillo, Bienvenida D. Bonquin

ABSTRACT: Effective integration of technology is the result of teachers’ competence and ability to shape
instructional technology activities to meet students’ needs. The study was used a survey descriptive in nature.
Data were collected from 7 teachers and 23 pupils as respondents of the study through questionnaire. Data were
analyzed through the weighted mean. Using technology to enhance the educational process involves more than
just learning how to use specific piece of hardware and software. It requires an understanding of pedagogical
principles that are specific to the use of technology in an instructional setting. Pedagogy-based training begins
by helping teachers understand the role of learning theory in the design and function of class activities and in the
selection and use of instructional technologies. The researchers believe that the proposed steps in ICT
integration in English can be enhance the teaching- learning process of the teachers.

Aileen C. Dela Guardia

ABSTRACT: This study aimed on identifying appropriate interventions in response to the factors and reasons
that contribute to the increasing rates of dropouts in Pinamukan Integrated School from School Year 2016-2017
up to School Year 2018-2019. It also attempted to determine whether the existing school policies and guidelines
on discipline, and guidance and counselling are effectively implemented which could improve the efficiency of
teaching and learning. Aside from the school records, the researcher used interview and Focused Group
Discussion as instruments in identifying the underlying reasons behind the increasing dropout rates. From a total
of 46 recorded dropouts, it was the factor on the lack of learner’s interest that reached a total of 18 learners
since SY2016-2017. It had contributed to the growing number of dropouts within this year. Other determinants
and the number of its dropout cases were considered by the researcher such as: illness (12 learners), family
problem (7), transfer of resident (3), and child labor (6). However, interventions like guidance and counselling,
and home visitations were done by the researcher. These reasons motivated the researcher through this study
to draft and provide interventions for the dropouts.

Arlene M. Hernandez, Katherine Q. Medrano & Prudencio M. Animas

ABSTRACT: This study sought to determine how Content-Based Instruction approach helps students to improve
their achievement level in English and to recommend a program or an intervention for the instruction of language
teachers using CBI approach. The subjects consisted of two (2) sets of Grade 10 students / learners. They were
second language learners of English. They were also from both genders (but mostly females) ages between 14
to 15 and were randomly assigned into two (2) groups, so that the first set of students were put in a group without
content-based instruction while the other group were placed in the content-based instruction group. The result of
this study proves that the CBLI group performed well than the students under the traditional method in language
acquisition and learning of Second Language learners. This research implies the needs for revision and
inculcation of activities in language learning. Since CBI allows learners to acquire language meaningfully in a fun
and enjoyable ways, it is therefore be applied in real classroom set up. Thus, its implementation is for the purpose
of creating a program as supplement for the language learning of students. This research is a school-based
research on English language. With this approach, it will help the learners to understand the second language
clearly and corroborate with their classmates adhering to the 21st century skills of the students. This approach
will be applicable for all language teachers for them to facilitate the learning to students on meaningful way.

IMPLEMENTATION OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION IN IMPROVING ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE IN ENGLISH GRADE 6 AND 7 SY 2019-2020

Imelda L. Lucos, Arnel A. Amatorio & Elarin L. Parian

ABSTRACT: Differentiation is simply attending to the learning needs of particular students rather than the more
typical pattern of teaching the class as though all individuals in it were basically alike. This differentiation stems
from the diversity of learners. There was an evidence of improved achievement when the students were exposed
to differentiated instruction based on the study of Njagi 2015. This study aims to assess the competency of
teachers in using differentiated instruction through learners’ performance in English. The qualitative method will
be employed in this action research because the data to be gathered require description of the details of the
information through the interview of the respondents of the study. This will also consider documentary analysis
of the MPS in English of Grade 6 and 7 students in the first quarterly test. The qualitative data to be collected
through interview will be categorized using themes. It will be supported by the information obtained from the
analysis of MPS in English of Grade 6 and 7 students. This study is limited to Grade 6 and 7 teachers and
students of the 3 elementary and 4 secondary schools in the Division of Santa Rosa City. The result of this
research will be the basis of giving technical assistance to school heads in terms of managing teachers in the
delivery of instruction which directly influence the performance of the students.

performed significantly better than the controlled group. This means that those students who experienced TL3
were able to identify nail structure, condition, diseases, and disorders better than the other group. This study is
limited to the application of TL3 to the competency related to nail structure, condition, diseases and disorders
which is under the exploratory TLE curriculum in the Junior High School. The lessons employed local language
of Mauban, Quezon. The approach of using TL3 makes students more familiar of the local language as they
learn the competency required in the subject.

IMPROVING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 7 STUDENTS IN SCIENCE USING

THE DOTA LEADERBOARD

Jaybie S. Arzaga & Gemma V. Manlavi

ABSTRACT: To address the pressing issue regarding students decreasing performance in Science, this study
aimed to test the effectiveness of DOTA Leaderboard on the academic performance of students. This study used
pre-test-post-test quasi experimental research design. Two Grade 7 classes, both having 50 students, of Bahile
National High School were used in this study. A standardized pre-test and post-test in the learners’ module were
used to gather the data. The mean and the standard deviation were used to determine the level of performance
of control and experimental groups and the classification of students, while the t-test was employed to determine
the significant difference of the mean scores on posttests of both groups. Prior to the intervention, the pre-test
mean scores of 9.46 in the control group and 9.34 in the experimental group suggest that there is no significant
difference between the pre-test mean scores of two groups. This means that the ability of students in Science
before the intervention was almost the same. After three weeks of the study, with the control group using
conventional cooperative learning approach and experimental group with DOTA Leaderboard, it was revealed
that both groups increased their mean scores from 9.46 and 9.34 to 13.22 and 15.74 respectively. This showed
that though both groups performed well on the post-test, experimental group accomplished better than control
group with the mean difference of 2.52. There is a significant difference that exists between the post-test
performance of the control and experimental groups since the computed t-value is less than the alpha of 0.05
with a critical value of 2.01. Considering the results, the researchers recommend the use of DOTA Leaderboard
as a cooperative learning strategy in teaching students in Science especially in heterogeneous classes because
it improved their classroom performance. Teachers should be given in-service trainings on the use of DOTA
Leaderboard for them to gain more knowledge and clear understanding of the approach.

THROUGH CHEMISTRY INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK

Lorraine A. Voloso

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Chemistry Interactive Notebook
(CIN) as a tool to improve the achievement in chemistry of the students with varied brain dominance. Two intact
classes of Grade 9 composed of 80 students from Governor Ferrer Memorial National High School-Main during
the second quarter of the school year 2018-2019 were involved in the study. The single group pretest – posttest
pre-experimental design was used in the study and the sample was selected using purposive sampling.
Descriptive statistics such as the mean, standard deviation was employed as well as inferential statistics.
Findings of the study showed that the majority of the students are left brained. Left brained students are those
excellent in logic, sequencing, linear thinking, mathematics, facts and thinking in words. The writing skills of the
students improved upon the integration of chemistry interactive notebook. The students further developed their
writing skills and improved their grammar and the retention of the topic became better. The visual skills of the
students also improved through the inclusion of chemistry interactive notebook. The students were able to show
their creative side. The students’ achievement in chemistry in the posttest is significantly higher than their
achievement in the pretest. The p-value associated with the computed t-value is less than the level of significance
set for the study indicating that the mean difference in chemistry achievement is significant. There is also a
significant difference in the science achievement of the students across brain dominance group. Results of
correlation analysis indicated that there is a significant relationship between the achievement and performance
of the students in the CIN activities while there is no significant relationship between the achievement and
communication skills of the students. CIN tends to improve students’ communication skills both written and
visual. CIN has made the learning experiences of the students more meaningful and enjoyable.

IMPROVING THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS TOWARDS DRUGS OF GRADE 8 - PLATO

THROUGH PROJECT DATSCIE (DRUG AWARENESS THROUGH SCIENCE EDUCATION)

Claudine Alyssa T. Pangilinan & June Kathleen A. Sayo

ABSTRACT: Drug abuse and addiction were a major burden in the Philippines recently. From the incidents
reported in television and in social media, it showed that most of the drug users and pushers were young people.
Because of this alarming issue, the researchers came up with a study that can be a solution in increasing the
level of awareness of our young students. This action research aimed to answer the question, “How does the
use of Project DATSciE (Drug Awareness Through Science Education) improve the level of awareness about
Drugs among students of Grade 8- Plato? Forty-eight (48) students of Grade 8 – Plato are identified as the
respondents of this project. The respondents were given a survey questionnaire test and the results revealed
that there is a low awareness about drugs. The researchers constructed collaborative activities and output-
oriented lessons about dangerous drugs to be used each session. Post-survey and post-test showed an increase
in the mastery level. The post-test and pre-test showed a significant difference in their mastery level for about
40.85%. From the focus Group Discussion (FDG), it revealed that the respondents have increase their
knowledge about drug awareness and earned positive reactions on how they can help on spreading the
awareness about dangerous drugs to their schoolmates or even in their community. Therefore, the use of
DATSciE helped improve the level of dangerous drug awareness of Grade 8-Plato. This research has potential
limitations. First, there is time constraint every session and second, is the selection of respondents. This action
research was designed to put awareness about dangerous drugs inside the classroom. Each session will help to
students to explore things about dangerous drugs. The students are free to ask questions and incorporate their
learnings through collaborative activities. There would be more classroom activities that may used which help
these young people to avoid using dangerous drugs.

ABSTRACT: As what have been observable facts in the fast, experience has shown that our administrative
system is always in constant changes and modification more so when there has been a change in the leadership
in the Philippine politics. There is much to be amazed but it is a fact that each leader has its own priorities and
concerns establishing uniqueness of a centerpiece program for their administration different from their
predecessors. In the micro perspective, administrative or organizational structure emerging in the Philippine
bureaucracy is greatly affected by the national and political cultures in its aspiration for development. And
thereby, whatever mode and fashion as to its thrust in the administration, are also replicated in the lower part of
the political hierarchy.Different method of research was used in the study.The findings revealed that the person-
related variables were not significantly related on the power of employment of administrators in terms of culture
of patronage and culture of ambiguity. Management practices, power of employment and administrator’s
effectiveness were found no significant relationship in terms of; setting goals and objectives, communication and
human relations, curriculum development, educational development and fiscal/financial resources. The
researcher were use the descriptive type of research to be able to describe in detail the influence of administrative
culture among administrators in the Sariaya West District of Quezon and its relation to efficiency in terms of
administering a school institution. It is heuristic. It is from the above premises that this study was conceived with
its intent to look into an inquiry with respect to the uniqueness and similarities of the administrative culture that
prevails among various school districts as shaped by its administrators via with its environment in the lights of
the perceptions by its constituents.

INCREASING GRADE 8 LEARNERS’ INTEREST OF WEST PALALE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

IN TAYABAS CITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH: A CHALLENGE OF GLOBALIZATION

Montano L. Agudilla Jr. MBA, MaEd, PhD Candidate

ABSTRACT: In a largely Filipino speaking community of Tayabas City where most people are using “Tagalog”
being the native tongue of the people, most learners are disinterested in speaking English. This practice has
largely affected the interest of the 184 Grade 8 learners of West Palale National High School (WPNHS) to speak
English because other than they are not exposed to it they also don’t find English language useful and meaningful
to their lives. The disinterestedness of Grade 8 learners of WPNHS to English language has caused them to take
English class for granted. The result of the initial 20-item test prepared by the subject teacher relative to sentence
structure has proven that the learners are also poor in written communication. The result shows that out of 184
Grade 8 learners, only 52 learners passed the test. For this reason, this case study is conducted among the
Grade 8 learners of WPNHS as they are believed to be stable JHS learners after the transition from elementary
in Grade 7. Further, this aims to investigate the effectiveness of Quickie Talk (QT) and English Only Please
(EOP) in addressing the disinterestedness of the Grade 8 learners in speaking English especially during English
class thereby enabling them to understand and be understood in the world and become globally competitive.

APPROACH

Khaycelyn E. Lipay

ABSTRACT: As an educator of the K12 curriculum, the researcher believes that it is her moral obligation to
ensure that the G7 students of Anilao National High School, of which she is a faculty member, are given the
education and skills they need and deserve to be truly competitive and productive in the future. To increase
intellectual classroom engagement, the researcher tried inquiry based approach in teaching Araling Panlipunan
among the Grade 7 learners. Through observations and informal interviews, this qualitative study aims to identify
the causes of low intellectual classroom engagement and determine the effects of inquiry based approach. The
causes of low intellectual classroom engagement are lengthy reading materials in history, misconceptions, and
teacher-centered instructions. The benefits of inquiry-based approach to teaching include: inquiry approach
warms up the brain for learning, promotes a deeper understanding of content, improve certain transferable skills
like ask questions, investigate, discuss, collaborate, cooperate and reach their own conclusions. Data used in
this study were based solely on the results of informal interviews and observations. This study may open research
opportunities relevant in teaching Araling Panlipunan and other history subjects.

ABSTRACT: This study purports to identify the influence of Philippine Folkdance Program on dancing and social
skills, attitudes, appreciation, and interest of secondary students which was conducted during the third quarter of
the Academic Year 2018-2019 at Gulod National High School. Pertinent data were collected through descriptive
survey of research from the 100 randomly selected secondary students of Gulod National High School. Findings
reveal that majority of student-dancers are aged 14-15, female, preferred modern dance, not joining any dance
contest and perform only in school activities. The level of students’ dancing and social skills before the
implementation of Philippine Folk Dance Program was found to be at high level, and perceived to be at a very
high level after the implementation of the Program. Further, student-dancers’ perceived level of attitude,
appreciation, and interest before and after the implementation of Philippine Folk Dance Program is found to be
high. On the other hand, students’ level of dance skills, social skills, attitude, appreciation, and interest is found
to be significantly different before and after the implementation of the Philippine Folk Dance Program. The study
suggests teachers or school management to encourage students to join dance contests to boost their confidence;
continue the implementation of dance activities and programs at school level to improve students’ skills, attitude,
appreciation, and interest to dancing; and encourage more male students to participate in dancing activities.
Those who are into modern dance may also be encouraged to also consider or try folk dancing. For the Cultural
Enthusiast to encourage them to be more inspired to enrich cultural awareness by organizing a dance program
that exhibit/display different folkdances; for the curriculum developer to integrate Philippine Folkdance and
activities from Grade 9 to Grade10 since students lose interest in Philippine Folkdance because it is not included
in their lesson and for the future researcher to preserve the culture in terms of performing arts.

ABSTRACT: Integration of technology in teaching practices is often found to be at best inconclusive in its
benefits for better teaching and learning processes in a school. To make it achievable, availability and utilization
of ICT facilities and equipment is a need. This study aimed to audit the available ICT equipment and facilities in
Dalahican Elementary School. The respondents of the study were the 97 teachers using ICT facilities and
equipment in the teaching-learning process in Dalahican Elementary School. Survey research design was used
in the study. Based on the findings, there are available ICT facilities/ equipment in Dalahican Elementary School.
There is an available computer laboratory in the school, however, it is not operational due to power shortage. All
ICT teachers in the school are well qualified to handle ICT equipment and facilities. Teachers are confident to
produce a text using a word processing program. There are challenges encountered by the teachers in the
availability and utilization of ICT facilities and equipment. For the organizational/school-based factor, there is an
absence of training offered to teachers on the use of ICT in education by the school and shortage of computers
for teacher’s use. In terms of factors related to school leadership, there is lack of motivation by principals to use
ICT for teaching-learning purpose. Results of this research study will serve as basis for the enhancement of
Information and Communication Technology of Dalahican Elementary School. Findings will also be used as guide
in creating a more responsive and effective ICT implementation.

INNOVATING CLASSROOM PRACTICES: IMPACTS TO THE PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 7

STUDENTS

Jennifer M. Lardizabal

ABSTRACT: The researcher came up with this study as she observed some Grade 7 students who failed to
participate in different classroom activities and sometimes disengaged, sleepy, inattentive and weren’t able to
finish their written work. As a result, students gained low scores in their quizzes and examination which led to
unsatisfying performance. Thus, teachers must never stop thinking of new strategy and activity which may help
students earn good grades. This enduring act calls for their extra time and effort to employ remedial and/or tutorial
sessions during free time or after classes. From this idea arises the researcher’s motivation to study the impact
of innovating classroom practices for Grade 7 students to introduce new classroom set up and practices that will
lead to satisfying teaching – learning process. This study used descriptive method of research to determine the
impacts of innovating classroom practices to the Grade 7 students’ performance. And involves the description,
recording, analysis and interpretation of the present nature, composition or processes of phenomena. The
findings were then used as basis in introducing new classroom setup/ practices for more effective teaching –
learning process. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed according to the specific questions in the study
and analysed statistically with appropriate tools. Most of the students claim that there is a problem in the existing
classroom practices in terms of their behaviour, academic performance, social aspect and assessment of the
student. And majority of them encountered or met constraint in innovating classroom practices. The results show
through collaboration and cooperation with others, students engage in experiential learning that is authentic,
holistic and challenging. As a partner in learning, the teacher is challenged to go with the flow and reshape
classroom practices. Innovating Classroom Practices puts the focus on what teachers can do, in order to reflect
their new way in teaching. They tend to change the habits and practices in teaching to be able to work with a
new perspective.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to determine the extent of students’ participation in group activities in teaching
Social Studies at Selected Secondary Schools. Descriptive study using qualitative and quantitative was employed
to this study. The respondents of this study were 7 Social Studies teachers of BNHS. The questionnaire was the
main data gathering tool in eliciting response on the given problems. As contributory to the body of research,
innovative Group Activities to enhance the students’ participation in Grade 7 Social Studies was proposed. These
activities were the researcher’s contribution to the school. Group discussion, topic analysis, and role
playing/simulation are the group activities most commonly utilized in teaching social studies; Using technology
to motivate students is the most common interest of the students in order for them to learn; Factors contribute to
lack of students’ interest like topic is very hard for the students to follow, students do not participate with group
members, students see little value in the content of the subject, and no provisions for engagement of students in
varied activities employed significantly relative to topic, group members, motivation and teaching strategies. It is
recommended that similar studies may be conducted in other subject matter in the Social Studies curriculum
involving a large number of school.

INNOVATIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY PACKAGE IN RECUPERATING STRUGGLING LEARNERS

Jaesser G. Rivera

ABSTRACT: This is an innovative and interdisciplinary learning package for English and Science in the Fourth
grade level, which aims to uplift the status of the struggling learners in both subject areas. In order to address
the mentioned situational problem in the field of teaching, a Practical Action Research was used to recuperate
the struggling learners. This study utilized a Qualitative method of research. Employing two comprehensive data
gathering through in depth interview and content analysis task-based module was developed and used. In
conclusion, the learning package is an effective instructional material in advancing the struggling learners to cope
up with average learners. Moreover, significant factors contributing to the successful implementation of this
package were revealed such as: contextualization, integration of interdisciplinary approaches, and adaptation of
21st century skills. The results shown that no more learners for both disciplines were recorded to be failing but
still only on the context of the implementing school. Based on the results of the previous year’s periodic test,
several learning competencies were found to be correlated to the poor academic achievement of the Grade Four
pupils in one of the schools in the Division of Lipa. The instructional materials developed which highlights the role
of localized innovation and interdisciplinary approach are deeply rooted on the CLIL, hence creates a leeway
though a task-based module which targets the intensive remediation of Science contents on the same time hitting
the significant English skills and processes while embedding the 21st century skills. This is a heuristic research
because of the package created is based on the lived experience of the participants.

INTEGRATING INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) IN TEACHING

MATHEMATICS AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF GRADE II PUPILS

Karina Jerica S. De Guzman & Xavier Ian Q. De Guzman

ABSTRACT: Assess the effectiveness of integrating Information Communication Technology (ICT) In teaching
Mathematics and its effects on the academic achievement of Grade II Pupils. This is also an attempt to lessen if
not totally eliminate the misconception of the students that Mathematics is a difficult subject and to regain the
student’s interest on Mathematics by inculcating in their minds and hearts the importance of this in their daily
lives. The researchers employed experimental research design. The design used involved two groups, both of
which were formed by random assignment. Both groups were pre-tested and post-tested using the teacher made
tests. 2-phase experimental research design assumes random assignment of subjects and random assignment
to groups. It attempts to explore cause and affect relationships where causes can be manipulated to produce
different kinds of effects. Among the experimental designs the researcher chose the pretest – posttest control
group. Results showed that there were homogeneity between the groups of pupils (experimental and control).
Both yields a very good level of performance but tangibly the experimental group who used the electronic
whiteboard achieved better than the control group who used chalk and board method of instruction. Therefore, it
was concluded that the intervention of integrating ICT in Mathematics with the use of electronic whiteboard
increased pupils’ participation in Mathematics activities, thus, higher academic achievement was attained. The
paper focused mainly on the integration of ICT specifically the use of electronic whiteboard as visual aid and
chalk and board in teaching Mathematics to Grade II pupils. The study no longer covered the other factors such
as gender and economic status of the respondents. However, there is no intension to ensure the equality of the
two groups. The paper provides evidence of the effectiveness of integrating ICT for intervention and improving
academic achievement in Mathematics.

INTEGRATING MATHEMATICS AND OTHER SUBJECTS: A PROBLEM CENTERED LEARNING

AND INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH

Janeta P. Javier

ABSTRACT: Mathematics today is generally subdivided into Applied Mathematics and Pure Mathematics.
Applied deals with solutions to practical problems while Pure deals with the study of the abstract properties of
Mathematical quantities and systems without regard to application. Positivism a Philosophical system deeply
rooted in Science and Mathematics is based on the view that whatever exists can be verified through
experiments, observation, and Mathematical/logical proof. Everything else is non-existent. In addition, positivists
usually believe that scientific progress will eradicate, or at least sharply reduce, the problems facing mankind.
Positivists are almost always strong realists—that is, they believe that what we experience as reality is really out
there in the world. In other words, they believe in objective truth. They also tend to deny the influence of things
like theoretical and cultural biases that get in the way of science. This research aims to identify constraints and
opportunities for improving the current systems and enable the formulation of recommendations for action by the
relevant agents. In particular, emphasis will be placed on the integration of Mathematics and other subjects and
field of studies using a problem centered learning and interdisciplinary approach.

aimed to assess the frequency of ICI in teaching literature, its level of effectiveness, and the constraints met in
the integration. Also, it aspired to develop interdisciplinary tools to maximize ICI. It utilized the mixed (quantitative-
qualitative) method of research where frequency, mean, percentage, and interview inputs were used to interpret
and validate gathered data from survey questionnaire and focused group discussion among thirty (30) literature
teachers who served as initial respondents. This study found out that teacher-respondents conducted ICI of
literature lessons in their respective class sometimes. The highest result with the verbal interpretation of
sometimes is practicing literary skills related to developing supported opinions linked in Edukasyon sa
Pagpapahalaga and Araling Panlipunan . The level of effectiveness of ICI was effective as assessed by the
respondents. This is manifested through motivating students to demonstrate in-depth understanding of topics
as a result of their sustained interest around various questions. The three primary constraints in ICI were the
absence of ICI tools, inevident commitment to the integration approach in daily lesson logs and unavailability of
ICI seminar workshops and LAC sessions. Consequently, the interdisciplinary tools are proposed to address the
primary constraint of ICI. The scope of the study is limited to the integration of literature lessons across curriculum
teaching areas such as Filipino, AP, ESP, Science, Math, TLE, and MAPEH. Moreover, the extent of teachers’
knowledge and consideration of the research value is one of the limitations of the study. This heuristic- approach
research is confident that it would serve as initial attempt to help the literature teachers integrate the lessons
across the curriculum in classroom-based scenario and daily lesson logs.

INTERPLAY OF MEDIA USE AND INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS AMONG
ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Jade Ann D. Bagos, Pamela Lillian D. Bautista, Angelica Luz M. Dimaano, Aubrey-Ann G.
Dimaano & Chona Dimaandal-Andal, Phd

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to uncover the interpersonal communication skills that the selected Alangilan
Senior High School students possess’; to unearth the specific media that the informants utilize; and to unleash
the benefits that media utilization provides in enhancing the informants’ interpersonal communication skills. The
research utilized descriptive-thematic synthesis method in understanding the perception of 10 students of
Alangilan Senior High School about shared meanings and experiences in terms of the form of media they utilize.
An interview guide was used as the study’s data gathering instrument. Based on the study's results, students
view interpersonal communication skills as skills that will help in creating relationship with other people. In
addition, the students consider the messages they make and deliver. However, some students mentioned that
one of the considerations is the person whom they are talking to. Moreover, students use listening skills; while
few said they usually use verbal and non-verbal communication skills. As a result, internet is the most useful
media used in communicating as well as in deriving information and it connotes that in communicating with other
people, all of the students emphasized all the positive effects of communicating and reaching with other people
through the use of media. In view of these, the study recommends the use of different forms of media such as
printed media, radio and television along with the internet for fresh and additional information. Students may
have, so they can find and explore freely in order to communicate and derive information. Moreover, teachers
may use existing media resources such as television, radio, printed media and internet within lectures to stimulate
interest in and develop knowledge of the material being taught and written and verbal feedback may be reflective
so that sudents are encouraged to reflect on their work and deepen their understanding about interpersonal
communication skills.

INTERVENTION IN CHEMISTRY ADDRESSING RELEVANT ENHANCEMENT

(I-CARE) FOR ACADEMICALLY AT-RISK STUDENTS IN CHEMISTRY

Christopher Austero Luna

ABSTRACT: The primary concern of this study is to develop and try-out the I-CARE support materials for
academically at-risk students in chemistry using experiential, active, and game-based learnings. The study was
conducted at Governor Ferrer Memorial National High School – Main from School Year 2017-2018. Purposive
sampling technique was employed in which 30 grade 9 at-risk students were chosen. The descriptive-
developmental method of study dealt with the development of materials and validation of I-CARE support
materials. Fifteen game-based activities were developed, validated, and further revised to support the materials
for intervention sessions. For the introduction and pilot implementation on the use of I-CARE support materials,
the researcher facilitated and guided the at-risk students during the remedial teaching session. The developed I-
CARE support materials and activities were rated 3.98 by peer evaluators, supporting the characteristics of a
very acceptable instrument to use in teaching chemistry concepts and improving the students’ achievement, self-
esteem, and perception towards instructional materials for chemistry. Four peer evaluators observed and
evaluated the materials during the try-out obtaining a mean score of 3.90. Furthermore, the respondents of the
study strongly agreed on the positive impact of using I-CARE support materials and activities obtaining a rating
of 3.09 using a 20-item perception survey. Therefore, it was recommended that the proposed I-CARE support
materials be tried-out by the expert and teachers to other groups of students and those with academic and self-
esteem difficulties to determine the usefulness of the instructional materials.

INTRINSIK AT EKSTRINSIK: PAGGANYAK SA MAG-AARAL TUNGO SA PAGBUO NG

PLANONG GAWAIN (ACTION PLAN) NG MGA GURO SA FILIPINO

Karen Clarissa L. Perez

ABSTRACT: Binibigyang tuon ng mga guro ang pagpapataas ng antas ng perpormans ng mga mag-aaral sa
asignaturang Filipino. Kaugnay nito, nilayon ng mananaliksik na malaman ang epektibong pagganyak na
magagamit sa pagtuturo sa pagpapataas ng perpormans ng mga mag-aaral at maging batayan sa pagbuo ng
planong gawaing makapagpapaunlad sa kanilang kakayahan. Limitado ang pag-aaral sa mga pangganyak na
istratehiyang magagamit ng mga guro sa pagtuturo ng asignaturang Filipino. Bago isagawa ang pag-aaral, tiniyak
na may pahintulot mula sa kinauukulan at mga tagasagot. Deskriptib-kwantitatib ang disenyong ginamit upang
mailarawan nang husto ang mga nalikom na datos. Lumabas sa pag-aaral na ang intrinsik na pagganyak ay
laging ginagawa ng mga guro samantalang ang ektrinsik na pagganyak ay madalas lamang na ginagawa.
Natuklasan din na ang paggamit ng intrinsik na pagganyak sa pagtuturo ng Filipino ay mayroong katamtamang
salungat na ugnayan sa perpormans ng mga mag-aaral samantalang ang paggamit ng ekstrinsik na pagganyak
ay mayroong maliit na tiyak na ugnayan sa perpormans ng mga mag-aaral. Dahil sa kinalabasang ito,
iminungkahi ang paggamit ng Planong Gawain (Action Plan) upang mapaunlad pa ang kakayahan ng mga guro
sa pagtuturo ng Filipino.

INVERTED CLASSROOM: AN INNOVATIVE STRATEGY TO IMPROVE THE ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE IN SCIENCE OF GRADE TEN STUDENTS OFROSARIO NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL

Preacy Ann B. Llantos

ABSTRACT: This action research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the inverted classroom in improving the
academic performance in Science of the grade ten students officially enrolled during the school year 2017–2018 at
Rosario National High School (RNHS) in the Division of Cavite Province This study used Quasi-Experimental
Quantitative-Descriptive method using Paired T-test and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of data utilizing the
time series design. The chosen participants were 60 grade ten students of RNHS who were identified with difficulties
in understanding and mastering the competencies in first grading in Science. The said students were chosen using a
non-random or purposive sampling technique and assigned as treatment group. The data collected from the three
pretests and three post-tests from three grading periods and were analyzed using descriptive method and paired t-
test.Results revealed that the modification in the teaching-learning process, strategies and materials with the use
inverted classroom in teaching Science in the treatment group highly affected and increased the academic performance
of the students. The effects on the academic performance of the students in the treatment group were remarkably
high.This action research also showed that if the inverted classroom is practiced correctly and thoughtfully, it will be an
excellent instructional model which can promote students higher forms of cognitive domains which is incoherence with
the theory of Bloom’s revised taxonomy for cognitive domain.In this study, the inverted classroom described as
individual video-based learning outside the classroom and group learning inside the classroom. Homework is no longer
done at home, but in class, thus the term flipped or inverted classroom (Bergmann, Overmyer & Wilie, 2013). The video
are self-made by the teacher as intervention in the classroom. Students asked questions at class sessions instead of
interrupting a lecture. The class did not slow up because of students not attending due to sports, participation in
competitions, or other extra-curricular activities. Teacher made changes to videos as needed.

ISANG PAG-AARAL TUNGKOL SA MGA SANHI NG MALIMIT NA PAGLIBAN SA KLASE NG
MGA MAG-AARAL SA BAITANG 7 SA LUCENA DALAHICAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Lea A. Dizon

ABSTRACT: Layunin ng pag-aaral na ito na matukoy ang mga sanhi ng malimit na pagliban sa klase ng mga mag-
aaral sa ikapitong baitang ng Lucena Dalahican National High School sapagkat malaki ang epekto nito sa akademik
perpormans ng mga mag-aaral. Ang resulta ng pag-aaral na ito ang ginawang basehan upang makagawa ng mga
mungkahing hakbang ang mga guro upang masolusyonan ang nabanggit na suliranin. Deskriptibong pamamaraan
ang ginamit ng mananaliksik kung saan maliban sa pagpapasagot ng mga talatanungan ay nagsagawa rin siya ng di-
pormal na panayam sa mga mag-aaral na tinukoy na madalas liban sa klase. Buhat sa ginawang pag-aaral ay
natuklasang marami sa mga mag-aaral na lumiliban ay walang kasamang magulang sa bahay, tinatamad, walang
pamasahe o baon, may problemang pangkalusugan at puyat dahil na rin sa naglipanang mga computer shops sa
kanilang lugar. Limitado ang pag-aaral na ito sa 40 mag-aaral sa ikapitong baitang sa LDNHS taong panuruan 2018-
2019 na natukoy na may pinakamaraming bilang ng liban sa klase. Ipinapakita ng pag-aaral na ito na malaki ang
nagagawa ng kawalan ng presensya ng parehong magulang sa perpormans ng mga bata sa paaralan lalo’t higit kung
hindi nila nasusubaybayan ang pagpasok o pagliban ng kanilang mga anak. At sa hindi na mabilang na pagkakataon
ay muli ring napatunayan kung gaano kalakas ang hatak at impluwensya ng mga computer shops sa mga kabataan
sa kasalukuyan. Malaki ang maitutulong ng pag-aaral na ito upang maagapan ang problemang may kaugnayan sa
malimit na pagliban ng mga mag-aaral habang sila ay nasa ikapitong baitang pa lamang ng sa gayon ay hindi nila ito
makasanayan at maging gawi pagdating nila sa kasunod na baitang. Mabibigyang-pansin din ang problemang
pangkalusugan ng mga mag-aaral na maaring naisasantabi dahil sa kakulangan sa aspetong pinansyal. Ang mga
mungkahing hakbang ay maaaring maging daan upang mas maging bukas ang komunikasyon sa pagitan ng mga
magulang, anak, guro at paaralan.

JAPANESE MULTIPLICATION METHOD: A TECHNIQUE IN FINDING THE NUMERICAL

COEFFICIENTS OF THE PRODUCT OF TWO BINOMIALS

Jinky Lhers L. Araves

ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the use of Japanese Multiplication Method in finding the numerical
coefficients of the product of two binomials with integral coefficients. It provides educators and learners a visual
and an easier technique in multiplying integers and multiplying two binomials with integral coefficients, especially
those that involve negative integers. To measure the effectiveness of the technique and to determine possible
difficulties that educators and learners may encounter, the researchers conducted a lesson study to a group of
14 randomly chosen grade eight students, whose ages range from 13 to 15, from the School of Everlasting Pearl,
Inc., Antipolo, Rizal, Philippines. The participants were able to generalize and to find the numerical coefficients
of the product of two binomials by applying the Japanese method of multiplication. They considered this technique
as an easier way to find the numerical coefficients. Based on the results of the activities and students’ reflection,
the researchers concluded that the Japanese multiplication method can be used as a technique to determine the
numerical coefficients of the product of two binomials with integral coefficients. It is an effective way to reduce
the complexity and difficulty of multiplying integers specifically negative integers. Since Japanese method of
multiplication was previously used only on positive integers, introducing its use in multiplying binomials,
regardless if the coefficients are negative integers, offered students a different way of remembering how to
multiply integers, specifically negative integers.

Sherwin I. Diala & Leovino A. Merle

ABSTRACT: This researchcentered on the evaluation of the JDVP training of Grade 12 – TVL students of
Talipan National High School, Pagbilao, Quezon. This study employed 61 Grade 12 – TVL students of Talipan
National High School. Pre-test and posttest results and information gathered through a self-devised questionnaire
administered to these students provided the quantitative and qualitative data. Simple percentage, simple
average, weighted arithmetic mean and t-test were used in the analysis of quantitative data. Coding and thematic
analysis were used in the analysis of qualitative data. A great number of least mastered items in the fifty-item
pretest had been significantly reduced in the posttest. The JDVP training served as an effective tool in improving
the cookery skill of the Grade 12 – TVL students of Talipan National High School. The students strongly agree
that the JDVP training went well. The motivating factors for the students to actively participate in the training were
summarized into seven themes. The problems encountered during the training were summarized into five
themes.The students had proposed to improve the conduct of future JDVP training which are summarized in six
themes. This study covered the evaluation of the effectiveness of the delivery of JDVP training conducted in the
First Semester of School Year 2018 – 2019. It was limited to determining the cookery skills of 61 Grade 12 – TVL
students of Talipan National High School. The findings of the study reflected the outcomes of the training in
Talipan National High School only. This study provided findings that may help Talipan National High School and
the School Division of Quezon to refine the existing policies on its engagement with TVIs in the future conduct of
JDVP training.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ LEARNING STYLES: ITS IMPLICATIONS TO TEACHERS’

TEACHING STYLES

Ariston G. Vasquez

ABSTRACT: This descriptive study focuses on determining the students’ level of learning based on the three
identified learning style categories and the relationship between the students’ learning styles and teachers’
teaching styles. A total of 222 grade 10 students and 17 teachers handling grade 10 subjects were identified as
respondents using the Stratified Random Sampling and Total Enumeration Sampling techniques, respectively.
Self-completed survey questionnaires were personally administered by the researchers. The mean revealed that
the students learned well from the teaching styles used by the teachers. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
showed that there was no significant difference between the students’ learning styles when grouped according
to program. A substantial or marked relationship between the students’ learning styles and teachers’ teaching
styles was observed using Pearson Correlation Coefficient. This study reveals that students’ level of learning
decreases when teachers focus in only one teaching style category and keep on using it, hence the use of the
combination of the three teaching style categories is encouraged. Since the students’ learning styles across the
three programs are the same, the program to which the students belong must not be given much consideration
in choosing what teaching styles to use.

KALAGAYANG SOSYO-KULTURAL NG NOLI ME TANGERE SA PAGSIPAT SA

ASALUKUYANG KALAGAYAN NG LIPUNAN

Zhandro Paulo Tiaba, Jan Herald Odron, Jolie Ann Andes & Ruth Pasco

ABSTRACT: Ang lipunan ang sumasalamin sa kultura ng isang bansa. Ang kultura na syang dapat
pagyamanain sa lipunan sapagkat ito ang nagpapakita kung ano ang mayroon sa isang bansa. Ang pananaliksik
na ito ay naglalayon na masuri ang kalagayang sosyo-kultural ng noli me tangere sa pagsipat sa kasalukuyang
kalagayan ng lipunan. Ginamit ng mananaliksik ang pamaraang Palarawang- Evaluativ dahil susuriin ng mga
mananaliksik ang sosyo-kultural ng kasalukuyang lipunan gamit ang piling tauhan ng Noli Me Tangere sa ilalim
ng dekonstruksyon na pagdulog. Upang mas makita ang kasalukuyang konteksto ng lipunan, bibigyang-diin din
ang mga pangyayaring panlipunan gamit ang mga balita, dyornal, at artikulo na may kaugnayan pa rin sa
parametro ng pag-aaral. Sa kalagayang sosyo-kultural sa Relihiyon- Sa nobela, makikita na kahit isa siyang
pari, marami pa rin siyang ginagawang masama, at ito’y isang kabalintunaan. Ang pari ay dapat maging isang
modelo ng mga tinuro ni Hesus at ng mga matutunan natin sa bibliya. Ang pari ay ang nagbibigay sa atin ng mga
sermon tungkol sa ating buhay at sa buhay ni Hesus; sa edukasyon Edukasyon- Dahil na rin sa pagkaedukado
ni Crisostomo Ibara tao ay naging bukas ang kanyang isipan upang gawin ang nararapat at makaligtas sa bawat
pagsubok na kanyang haharapin, Gayundin, si Kapitan Tiyago kaya naman nagkaroon siya ng mataas na
katungkulan sa kanilang lipunan. Kasarian- sinisimbolo ni Sisa ang isang matibay na ilaw na tahanan kung saan
nagpakita siya ng katapangan sa likod ng isang malagim na kalagayan ng pagiging babae sa lipunan ng panahon
ng Espanyol. Sa pagsipat ng lipunan, mahalagang gamitin ang panitikan dahil ito ay salamin ng takbo ng isang
lipunan (Reñon, 2013). Mula rito, nakikita kung paano naapekuhan ng lipunan ang mamamayan sa pagbuo ng
isang kalagayang nakapag-aambag sa uri din ng panitikan ang mabubuo mula rito. Mahalaga ang pananaliksik
na ito upang matugunan ang kakulangan ang kalagayang sosyo-kultural ng noli me tangere sa pagsipat sa
kasalukuyang kalagayan ng lipunan.

LEARNERS’ CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ACADEMIC

ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCE

Geselle P. Lopez

ABSTRACT: Learners’ academic achievementvary depending on the level of interest to studies, study habits,
inherited intelligence, and the level of support given by the family members, teachers and other academic
coordinators of the school to the learners. Other factors that may influence the learners’ academic achievement
are brain dominance and self-esteem. This study focused on the characteristics of the learners and the
relationship to their academic achievement. It is conducted to analyze the relationship of their academic
performance in Science with their own characteristic as a learner with the use of three important indicators such
as the brain dominance, self – esteem and study skills. A descriptive type of research and quantitative approach
were employed. This research used a minimum sample (N = 100) of Grade 8 students of the Junior High School
Department of St. Bridget College. The 111 respondents completed theinstrument. Research instruments for
assessing brain dominance, study skills and self-esteem were administered to the respondents. Students’
academic achievement were measured based on their fourth quarter grades in Science which was being
protected by the school registrar and the subject teacher. The data revealed that there is no significant difference
in the academic achievement of students in Science in relation with their brain dominance. On the other hand,
the results of the study showed thatthere was a significant relationship between the respondents’ study skills and
self-esteem with their academic achievement in science. Thus in making curriculum, the process of developing
student’s self-esteem should also be considered.

SAN VICENTE INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL

Rhoy M. Capul

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this research was to identify the level of awareness on earthquake
preparedness of students and determine if their age has a significant relationship with their level of awareness
on the mentioned disaster. The study was a descriptive quantitative research. The researchers used simple
random sampling for the selection of respondents and utilized weighted mean and Pearson product-moment
correlation to analyze and interpret the data gathered. Results revealed that the students at San Vicente
Integrated High School are moderately aware about earthquake preparedness having an overall weighted mean
of 3.86. It could be implied that their knowledge and experiences regarding precautionary measures were still
inadequate. On the other hand, results also showed that there is no significant relationship between the
respondents’ age and level of awareness in the mentioned kind of disaster having a correlation value of -0.06.
This implies a very weak relationship between the two variables tested. The respondents of the study consisted
of one hundred (100) Grade 7 students currently enrolled at San Vicente Integrated High School. A survey
questionnaire was used to gather the data needed. The study was conducted from June to July 2019.The result
of this holistic research could be a great help to create and execute a specific course of action or measure to
strengthen students’ level of awareness on earthquake preparedness. It is a crucial step in the improvement of
the school’s Disaster Risk Reduction Program.

LEVEL OF CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT OF TEACHERS ON GRADE VII STUDENTS WITH

BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS

Charlotte H.Amista, Melvin P. Santarita & Florinda P. Geyrozaga

ABSTRACT: Dealing with student’s behavioral problems is a great challenge to all teachers. The latter play a
vital role in moulding students’ success. Their management knowledge, skills, attitude and values should dovetail
to create a positive classroom environment thereby motivating students to learn. They must be smart in making
their instructional plan in the delivery of instructions. The teaching process and classroom management should
work hand-in-hand and impose a learning environment that is full of guidance, assistance, and support. In effect,
there would be an active engagement of the students to prevent them to be disruptive inside the class. After, the
researchers collated, tabulated, analyzed, and statistically interpreted the data, it was found out that the level of
classroom management of 40 teachers in Don Carlos A. Gothong Memorial National High School is HIGH with
the over-all weighted mean of 4.1 percent. The result showed that there is no significant relationship between
professional profiles of teachers in relation to educational attainment, relevant trainings, and work experience at
the level of their classroom management practices to Grade Seven students with behavioral problems.
Relatively, classroom management is a skill to be developed and harnessed. In this connection, teachers
manage the class to be more effective and efficient role models to their students. They should be creative and
innovative to make learning more real and fun, must employ varied techniques and strategies to fit the level of
understanding of the students. Transitionally, lead them to transform intellectual and emotional giants.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the level of competence of Grade 10 students in Araling Panlipunan
9 under the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum; identified the least mastered competencies; and develop
innovative motivational activities. This study used descriptive- evaluative method of research. Percentage rating
and simple percentage were used in analyzing and presenting the data. Random Sampling was used to identify
the respondents of the study. Based from the results, majority of the respondents are considered least competent.
Also, it was revealed that respondents showed different levels of competence in the four grading period in Araling
Panlipunan 9. In the competencies given by the DepEd, students found difficulties in analyzing, identifying,
differentiating, and explaining. These skills were considered in the development of the research output. This
research realized that students can increase their motivation in learning Araling Panlipunan concepts as the
innovative motivational activities are ready to use; Araling Panlipunan teachers may use and modified the
developed innovative motivational activities in teaching Araling Panlipunan 9 so that it can help enhance and
motivate the learners in the learning process.; school administrator may adapt the utilization of the innovative
motivational activities in teaching the target students. They may propose programs and innovative seminar-
workshop that will be helpful enough in the effective utilization of the innovative motivational activities for teaching
and learning
Curriculum developers can use the result of the study to revisit the different competencies included in Araling
Panlipunan 9 by carefully analyzing the target lessons and the length of time on when it would be taught as some
topics really need much time for teaching and learning; and future researcher may use the present study as a
pattern on working on the development of activities focusing on other competencies on other fields of Araling
Panlipunan such as Kasaysayan ng Asya, Ekonomiks at ang Kontemporaryong Isyu.

Larry R. Sevilla

ABSTRACT: This study aims to assess the Level of Competency of Grade VI pupils in English subject with the
used of Learning Effectively through Enhanced and Evidenced-based Pedagogies (LEEP) technique via the
utilization of Knowledge Channel as a teaching strategy for teachers and researchers in education in order to
improve the teaching and learning process in Elementary. LEEP concept compiles, analyses and uses objective
evidence to inform the design of a curriculum or guide instructional methodology. This could be from either a
qualitative research data on students or the personal experience teachers acquired as a result of a continuous
study of profiles, attitudes, characteristics and academic potentials of students within the educational value chain.
Some principles of learning which support LEEP concept may include previous knowledge of the learner,
motivation, regular feedback from both learner and teacher, emotional, social and intellectual climatic factors in
the learning process. These provide some form of security and assurance to teachers who want to use this
pedagogical concept in their teaching methodology because they have the empirical record which demonstrates
that this concept is an effective approach in enhancing students’ learning.

Coping Strategies of Grade 12 Accountancy, Business, and Management Students of Lagro High School to
Sleep Deprivation in specific demographic areas: age, and sex. The study is descriptive quantitative since it is to
observe and evaluate the level of Daytime Sleepiness and coping strategies of the students through the survey
instrument. The respondents were chosen using purposive sampling. Data in this study were gathered using the
questionnaire survey instrument, which was composed of four parts containing student-respondents’ profile in
terms of age, and sex. Epworth Sleepiness scale is used in determining if the respondents are sleep deprived,
comprised statements of coping strategies and Likert scale tool to know to what extent do the respondents agree
or disagree. The said data is analyzed using the frequency, percent, weighted mean, and correlation. The data
analysis determined that the respondents are all sleep deprived garnering a very low weighted mean and that
the demographic standings (age and sex) do not necessarily affect the respondent's sleep deprivation. The said
findings were bases for the improvement of teaching and learning.

LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS OF THE ADVERTISING SIGNAGES OF SENIOR HIGH

SCHOOLS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ROSARIO, CAVITE

Marivic A. Gallanosa

ABSTRACT: Give suggestions on how to better improve the quality of SHS’ signage in order to capture students’
eyes on the visual and textual graphics in their advertisements. Descriptive-Qualitative method to discuss the
commonalities of each advertising signage in the municipality. Non-structured interview to 30 incoming grade 11
students to determine the most appealing, attractive and informative advertising signage. Three communication
elements; the language, visual and spatial design should be equally promoted in LL. Also, the context of LL
should be noticeable to the public so that it would develop communication with the viewers. They were
demonstrated in 1.) Descriptive analysis of each advertising signage based on its commonalities, 2.) The
students’ perception on the advertising signages in their preferred school and 3.) An analysis of the advertising
signages based on Chen’s multimodal model for linguistic landscape (2016) and William’s Guidelines for Visual
Aid (2004). This research is limited to the senior high schools in Rosario, Cavite. It only focused on visual design,
the context where the tarpaulin or advertising signages are placed and the spatial design which focused on
language and visual images and was based on Kress and van Leeuwen’ Multimodality. This is the only research
that focuses on the advertising signages of SHS in a perspective of Linguistic Landscape. It is valuable because
the schools will have an opportunity to improve their advertising signages.

LINKING TO THE REAL WORLD: CONTEXTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING OF STATISTICAL

HYPOTHESIS TESTING.

Jeanne Marie L. Lago

ABSTRACT: Statistics and Probability is taken by all senior high schools. In the absence of teaching guide for
statistics in senior high school, a teaching guide on the topic of hypothesis testing was developed using the
ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The teaching guide contained the
elements of contextual teaching and learning (CTL) or contextualized instruction through the REACT (relating,
experiencing, applying, cooperating, transferring) strategies. It was utilized and achievement was analysed
through an experimental design. The Student Attitudes towards Statistics (SATS) was adopted to describe the
attitudes of students in both the control and experimental groups. Pre and post tests measuring the attitude and
achievement of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students in Cuenca Senior High School were
recorded. Results revealed that students have positive attitude towards Statistics in terms of value, interest and
effort. Prior to teaching hypothesis testing, the students had a very low achievement in terms of mean percentage
score. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test results showed that the difference in the pre and post SATS median scores
were not significant in terms of value, interest and effort. Results of a Mann Whitney U test showed that the
difference in the post SATS scores between the control and experimental groups is not significant. Finally, results
from a paired t test for dependent samples revealed that there was a significant increase in the scores of students
in the experimental group from the pre test to the post test. Moreover, students who were taught using
contextualized instruction scored higher than the students who were taught using direct instruction.

LIT ME UP! (LITERARY TEXT AS A MEANINGFUL TOOL IN UTILIZING PROGRESS) OF

STRUGGLING READERS OF SAN PABLO CITY INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL

Ruvic L. Aquino & Ada Grace Pesa

ABSTRACT: Literature is a language in practice. On the other hand, language is the key to exploit meaning of
a literary text. Both concepts play prominent role in teaching and learning English Language. They are closely
intertwined with each other in the process of learning. Because of their significant relationship, integrative
approach is used to teach students in English subject. However, choosing the appropriate kind of reading
materials to different types of struggling readers is truly important. Poor choice of reading text materials has a
huge effect in the progress of the reading level of readers. To address the needs of struggling readers, the choice
of literary text should be given a deep emphasis, so teachers would be able to come up with the rightful text
materials to be used. This action research study aims to give emphasis on the literary text used for students who
undergo reading remediation program. The study also aims to provide necessary reading materials that suit the
different types of struggling readers. Findings revealed that literature increases all language skills since it extends
linguistic knowledge through giving evidence of extensive and subtle vocabulary usage. Furthermore, it gave
students the opportunity to strengthen language skills as it often enabled oral discussions and exchange of
opinions.

LITERATURE-BASED INSTRUCTION STRATEGIES AND THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN

ENGLISH OF GRADE 8 PUBLIC SCHOOLSTUDENTS IN CALAMBA CITY (CLUSTER A-2)

Valarie B. Naval

ABSTRACT: This paper examined how Literature-Based Instruction Strategies can contribute to the
development of an overall Academic Performance in English. The study used descriptive-co relational method in
order to determine the assessment of the respondents to the literature-based instruction strategies and the
academic performance in English. Descriptive method was used to describe the academic performance along
with the literature-based instruction strategies. Correlational method was used to determine the difference
between the assessment of the two groups and the relationship of the strategies to the academic performance
in English of the student-respondents. Specifically, the questionnaire survey is used in this study. It was found
out that the literature-based instruction strategies have no significant relationship with the students’ academic
performance in English. The study stems from the fact that it may help teachers in English in finding new
procedures that can create better users of the language through learning the rational aspects of English in
authentic literary contexts. The researcher proposed an enhancement program on the literature-based instruction
strategies to contribute towards the attainment of high performance in English.

LIVED EXPERIENCES AND PRACTICES IN USING CONCEPTUAL CHANGE MODEL-BASED

TEACHING ON THE SELECTED TOPICS IN PHYSICAL SCIENCE

Loida S. Otico

ABSTRACT: This study was carried out to determine the Physical Science teachers’ practices used in correcting
students’ misconceptions and to evaluate the use of the conceptual change approach in the learners’
understanding of the topics about force, motion and light. These were attained through the use of
phenomenological approach of qualitative design using of one-on-one interview, survey questionnaire and focus
group discussion. Learners were taught using the conceptual change approach in teaching through using
demonstrations, video clips, relevant texts, and hands-on activities that take misconceptions into account. It was
revealed that the common misconceptions of the students are deduced from thinking devoid of precision of the
scientific concepts, laws, and principles, irrelevant answers, and unverified observation. Mapping out the
teacher’s perspectives on mitigating misconceptions summed up the teachers’ practices to correct the students’
misconceptions in Physical Science. Synergizing conceptual change model potent features described the
experiences of students. However, it was recommended that conceptual change model-based strategy in
teaching Physical Science may be further subjected to testing for effectiveness through true experimental
research.

LIVED EXPERIENCES OF NEWLY HIRED TEACHERS: BASIS FOR POLICY

RECOMMENDATIONS

Ponciana L. Quimque & Noli B. Taroy

ABSTRACT: The study explored the lived experiences of newly hired teachers and offered policy
recommendations. The study employed qualitative research design through phenomenological approaches and
explored the lived experiences of newly hired teachers. Purposive and random sampling methods will be use the
selection of participants. The live experiences as newly hired teachers yielded different themes, like
“unprepared”, “under pressure”, “high expectations”, “opportunity”, “errands”, “culture shock”, “accountable”,
“confused”, “tradition”, “challenging”, and “unequipped”. Some traditional practices of “of how to treat newly hired
teacher” still exist among public schools. These and all other challenges in classroom management and
instructions, students’ behaviour and varied of abilities, and lack of resources changed the life of a newly hired
teachers. The information gathered in this inquiry was limited by the experiences of public elementary teachers
hired three years ago. The testimonies of the respondents reviled the facts that they were still misguided on their
first journey as teacher due to existing malpractices which they called “tradition”.

LOADING SCHEME FOR MATHEMATICAL PROFICIENCY OF GRADE 9 STUDENTS

Riza R. Noceto, Kenedy M. Cayabyab & Arnel Jordan B. Domingo

ABSTRACT: The ultimate concern of this action research was to determine the effectiveness of the loading
scheme for the mathematical proficiency of the grade 9 students of San Joaquin-Kalawaan High School, for the
school year 2017-2018. This research involved three groups of respondents according to the loading scheme of
below average, average, and the above average. The teaching strategy applied in this study was the worked-
example method which is anchored from the Cognitive Load Theory. It utilized the quasi-experimental research
design. Data are gathered by conducting the pre-test and post-test which were constructed by the researchers
and validated by experts. The data gathered were treated statistically using mean, percentage score, t-test for
dependent sample, and analysis of variance(ANOVA). The proficiency level of each group in the pre-post test
using the loading scheme was found out that there was a significant difference (α=0.000). Therefore, the null
hypothesis was rejected for each group. The marked improvement in the level of proficiency may be attributed
to the effectiveness of the loading scheme and use of worked examples. With regards to the difference of gained
scores of the three groups from pretest to posttest, was found to have no significant difference(α=0.266). This
implies that the loading scheme has similar effect for each group. In the light of the findings, the researchers
concluded that it is very helpful to classify the level of performance of the students based on their previous
Mathematics grade to determine the necessary needs of the students. The Cognitive load theory has significant
benefits in terms of reducing training time, and improve performance on tasks using the learned knowledge and
skills in Mathematics. Moreover, the worked-examples strategy is valuable and helpful in increasing the level of
mastery and proficiency among students. Furthermore, the loading scheme is effective in improving proficiency
in Mathematics.

LOCAL CULTURAL MAPPING AS A PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH IN TEACHING ARALING

PANLIPUNAN (MAPA): A RESEARCH ON ENGAGING STUDENTS ON HERITAGE STUDIES

Rowell P. Corcega

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of the study was to determine the level of students’ awareness of the various
tangible local cultural heritages of San Pablo City as a benchmark for heritage conservation, protection, and
utilization. Furthermore, it sought to sightsee the pedagogical approaches of Araling Panlipunan teachers in
teaching concepts on local cultural heritage as prescribe in Article X of Republic Act 10066 (Heritage Law).
Qualitative Research makes knowledge based on constructivist perspectives, uses strategies of inquiry to collect
emerging data with the primary aim of developing themes. Case Study describe what all participants have in
common as they experience a phenomena. Students and Araling Panlipunan teachers in the division of San
Pablo City has a very limited knowledge in terms of the natural and cultural heritage of the city. There’s no
provision for a specific template for the development of learning resources that these heritage will be cascaded.
Culture based education was very shallow. Students’ level of engagement in studying heritage was not prioritized
in the teaching learning process. The research was conducted from January to May 2019. It involved 12 students
and 6 Araling Panlipunan teachers in the secondary Cluster 2 in the Division of San Pablo City. With-in case
analysis was used. The findings of this study will give light to the key issues involving pedagogy in teaching
Araling Panlipunan and how local cultural mapping can be used as a tool in integrating concepts in Araling
Panlipunan towards heritage studies.

LOCALIZED VIDEO MATERIAL: A TOOL TO INCREASE MATHEMATICS LEARNING OF GRADE

NINE STUDENTS OF AMAYA SCHOOL OF HOME INDUSTRIES S.Y. 2019-2020

Daryl D. Angeles, Sheila Marie A. Urbistondo & Jessica D. Anico

ABSTRACT: A supportive and engaging classroom environment is important to help develop students’
mathematical understanding and confidence (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2005). The classroom needs to be
a place of investigation, where students do meaningful mathematics in a safe and positive space. “Meaningful
mathematics takes place in K to 12 classrooms that support students as they investigate, represent and connect
mathematical ideas through discussion in the context of problem solving” (Suurtamm et al., 2015). Amaya School
of Home Industries opened up a project which is Developing Localized Instructional Materials (DELIMA). Its
objective is to create learning materials from the school and community resources which can be used as a tool
in the teaching – learning process. Some of the activities conducted as part of the project implementation are: 1.
Conduct Learning Action Cell session per related subjects and technical specialization subject area.2. Organize
committee to handle the LIM’s evaluation and 3. Submit school – based evaluated localized instructional
materials in the school division for division evaluation. The development of localized teaching materials become
a challenge to teachers of ASHI especially to Grade Nine Mathematics teachers but it gives an opportunity to
adapt teaching and learning in local condition. The effect of using localized materials to academic performance
of ASHI students is not seen yet since teachers of ASHI are still using provided learning materials from Deped
and download materials from google. It is on this note that this study is conducted in order to determine whether
the use of Developed Localized Video Materials increase the performance of Grade nine ASHI students. The
findings from this study will be beneficial to the students, teacher, parents and school administrator and future
researchers in providing tools and ways in molding well-rounded individuals.

LOCATING THE POSITION OF K TO 12 COMPLETERS’ GRAMMATICALITY:

AN ERROR ANALYSIS OF JOB SIMULATED CORRESPONDENCES

Carla Margarita C. Arce, Jerome C. Hilario & Carlos Rafael C. Arce

ABSTRACT: For a graduate to land a job, one has to succeed in academic discourse, specifically in writing.
However, Senior High School teachers are dissatisfied with the learners' performance due to the erroneous
written outputs submitted in class. Thus, this paper attempted to determine the grammaticality of written business
correspondences of SHS-ABM Graduates of Mayamot and San Juan NHS based on job simulated activities. It
intended to delineate areas of grammar difficulties to propose instructional material preparation and lesson
planning. The data comprised of job simulated outputs of 30 ABM graduate-respondents. The outputs were
subject to error analysis which focused on establishing the error density index (EDI) and error frequency. In terms
of frequency production, results revealed that
among the fifteen common grammar mistakes, subject-verb agreement errors (32%), vague pronoun reference
(11%), and comma splice (8%) are three of the most frequently violated. Based on the graduates' written business
correspondences, an EDI average of 91% was identified. The level of correctness in writing as shown by the EDI
is unsatisfactory as expected from a K-12 completer who wish to secure a job. These results served as bases
for policy formulation and curricular developments
such as instructional material preparation and lesson planning.

Rutchel J. Ngipen

ABSTRACT: This action research was conducted to assess the use of logical puzzle worksheets as tool to
improve the critical thinking and problem solving skills among 30 Grade 11 Senior High School learners of La
Paz National High School, District III, Schools Division of Iloilo City for School Year 2018-2019. The worksheets
in three different levels of difficulty were composed of two parts: clues and gridlines, which were exposed to
learners for three weeks. Using the adapted Cornell Reasoning Test, the mean of intervention was compared.
Results revealed that prior to the exposure of the worksheets, the learners generally had a low critical skill and
problem solving skill as indicated by their low mean scores in the pretest. However, after the exposure of the
worksheets, the learners generally achieved a very high level of critical and problem solving skill as indicated by
their very high mean scores in the posttest. Hence, it was concluded that the worksheet can be an effective tool
for improving the critical skills and problem solving skills of the learners. The logical puzzle worksheet can also
be used as a motivational activity by all subject areas especially those that require critical thinking.

MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, POWER OF EMPLOYMENT AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS

EFFECTIVENESS IN THE SARIAYA WEST DISTRICT OF QUEZON

Abigail O. De Alday

ABSTRACT: It is aim of every school to lessen, if not eradicate, absenteeism among its students. One way of
addressing this problem is to identify the causes of truancy. Once singled out, understood and analyzed, these
issues may be addressed with specific actions and measures. This will eventually result in the better performance
of the students.Different method of research was used in the study.The researchers employed descriptive
research design, they distributed survey questionnaire to the participants. A questionnaire was used to determine
the causes of absenteeism in Gov. Natalio & Susana Enriquez Elementary School. This data was gathered from
the daily attendance record that is kept by the teachers every day and regularly filled out by the teachers.
Participants of this study were pupils and parents of Gov. Natalio & Susana Enriquez Elementary School with
their School Form 2 or the attendance of the pupils.Through discipline, follow-up and keen supervision of the
parents at home absenteeism can be corrected. Teachers should be friendly to pupils to know the cause of their
frequent absenteeism and delinquency. Physical factor (our home is far away from school) is the primary reason
why students are absent from their classes. The parents will be the bone who encourages their child in going to
school. They need to send to their child in school by and letting them know the advantages of having an
education. During parents conferences, inform the parents about the benefit of keeping their children in school
at all times when there are classes. Emphasize to them that if they keep on asking their children to be absent,
this will set a bad precedence to the child. If the parents themselves will be the one to keep them away from
school, they will think that household concerns are more important than their education, thus the children will
take for granted their coming to school regularly and suffer the consequences of it. Imbibe in the mind of the
children that their academic success is very much dependent on their attitude towards school. Motivate them so
they will be looking forward to attending their classes regularly.

INTEGERS

Jayson F. Rapsing

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to examine the effect of implementing manipulatives as remedial tool in
skills of low performing students in addition and subtraction of integers. This study utilized the experimental
design of research. Pre-test and post-test that has been validated were given to the respondents to determine
the score differences on implementation of manipulatives. The mean scores in pretest and posttest of
experimental group were 2.00 and 6.90, respectively. The T-value is 14.08005 and P-value is less than 0.00001
using 0.05 level of significance. Since the P-value is less than 0.05, there is a significant difference between the
pretest and posttest scores in experimental group. Low performing students remediated using manipulatives
improved their skills in addition and subtraction of integers. This study was conducted on July 2019 wherein 20
low performing students in Grade 9 of SPCIHS were purposively chosen as respondents, and limited specifically
in lessons in addition and subtraction of integers. This study could improve skills of low performing students in
addition and subtraction of integers and promotes positive attitude towards mathematics.

MATHEMATICS ANXIETY AND COPING STRATEGIES OF SELECTED G11 ASHS STUDENT

Arren Jhunn B. Rivera

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to unravel the students' perception about mathematics; to unleash the students'
anxiety towards mathematics; and to uncover the coping strategies that these students utilize in dealing with their
anxiety in mathematics. The research utilized descriptive-thematic synthesis method in understanding the
perception of ten students of Alangilan Senior High School about shared meanings and experiences in terms of
their mathematics anxiety and the coping strategies they utilize. An interview guide was used consisting of nine
questions that center on the objectives of the study. Based on the study’s results, the students considered
mathematics as a difficult subject and is likely to affect their choices for college courses. Nervousness is one of
the feelings of the students during mathematics class. In addition, the attitude of the students during the class
greatly impacts their academic performance; and laziness is the most mentioned attitude they usually have during
mathematics class. Meanwhile, fear of committing mistakes is the common factor that makes them scared of
mathematics. Moreover, self-inclined strategies like studying alone are the preferred coping strategies of
students; seeking help from peers is the most effective one they use, and being self-reliant the way on how they
came up on their strategies. In view of these, the school administrators may allot finances for learning facility like
mathematics lab to make mathematics learning more effective and fun at the same time. Faculty members may
also conduct recreational programs like “Math Hour” which includes students having activities and logical games
like sudoku. The school Guidance Coordinator may also conduct parental literacy to parents about proper
handling of students and not to put too much pressure and expectations on their children. In order to excel in
mathematics, students may take math exercises to enhance their ability. Lastly, future researchers may conduct
a study after the students used the said coping strategies or the y may use other variables related to mathematics.

GRADE IV PUPILS WITH VARIED INTELLIGENCES IN ANIBAN CENTRAL SCHOOL

Morena J. Salvador

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study was to determine the potential link between mathematics anxiety,
emotional quotient, and mathematics achievement of the grade 4 pupils with varied intelligences. The study used
the descriptive-correlational design and utilized four research instruments, one was developed, the Mathematics
Achievement Test, the Multiple Intelligence Inventory, the Emotional Quotient Test, and the Mathematics Anxiety
Scale were adopted. The results of the study with 333 respondents from Aniban Central School of Aniban II,
Bacoor City, Cavite during school year 2016-2017, showed that mathematics anxiety and mathematics
achievement have a very small significant positive relationship; while emotional quotient and mathematics
achievement have a negligible but not significant positive relationship. Mathematics anxiety, emotional quotient,
and mathematics achievement have no significant difference across sex. Mathematics anxiety however, has a
significant difference across intelligence groups. The pupils with logical-mathematical intelligences tend to have
lower mathematics anxiety than the students with intrapersonal intelligences. Its limitations is to determine the
significant relationship and significant difference between learners’ level of mathematics achievement, emotional
quotient and mathematics anxiety and as a heuristic research is to establish the importance of their level of
anxiety and emotional quotient to improve their mathematics achievement across sex and intelligence group.

MATHEMATICS DISCOURSE: LANGUAGE CHALLENGES IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

Angelie Joyce S. Gomez

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to understand the language challenges of senior high school students in learning
mathematics. A qualitative phenomenological research design was used. Semi-structured interviews,
observations, and document analysis were conducted with five students from the strand of Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The data were coded and analyzed according to the research questions.
The research resulted in five themes which emerged out of challenges experienced shared by the students. The
five themes were (1) multiple meanings, (2) borrowed words from everyday lives, (3) terms may be stated in
more than one way, (4) context dependent meanings, and (5) specific terms in mathematics. Findings reveal that
the students had difficulty in understanding and explaining about some concept in mathematics because of
language-related questions might confused them. This implies that the teachers must be aware of the issues
about mathematical discourse and must develop teaching strategies that can improve the performance of the
students in it.

Keywords: teaching mathematics, mathematics discourse, language challenges

MATHEXERCISE ON LEARNERS’ BASIC MATHEMATICAL SKILLS

Rosenie T. Hernalim

ABSTRACT: This quasi-experimental action research was conducted to determine the effect of Mathexercise
on learners’ basic mathematical skills for school year 2017-2018. The participants were the Grade Three and
Grade Four learners of Lanas Elementary School, being the experimental group, and of Patag Elementary
School, being the control group. The pretest-posttest method was used to gather data during the annual
Districtwide Numeracy assessment conducted by the school heads, using the Spencer’s window cards. Non-
mastery of fundamental operations, especially Multiplication, resulted to low performance of LES learners during
the pretest. In Mathexercise, learners performed the routinary Monday morning choreographed dance while
reciting the table of multiplication. Through it, speed, accuracy, and rote memorization of multiplication facts were
enhanced, which resulted to significant improvement on learners’ performance during the posttest. This study
has proven that 21st century learners need a less-structured learning environment, where they can move and
actively participate. This implies an urgent need for teachers to update their strategies and approaches
appropriate to the learning styles of the present day learners. The innovativeness, creativity, and ingenuity of
teachers and school heads can make a difference on learners’ performance.

Evelyn A. Lazo, Almida T. Camitan & Mildred M. De Leon

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to enhance students’ performance in General Mathematics using MATHSCAPE
PUZZLE. Learning mathematics is very vital to almost field of endeavors in today’s fast changing society. But,
despite it usefulness and wide application, it is perceived by most students as boring and difficult and has always
been interpreted as the most difficult subject to learn and teach (Ignacio et. al, 2006). Thirty (30) students from
Grade 11 that served as experimental and controlled group was the respondents of the study using simple
random sampling. Teacher made puzzle was the instrument used in this study. Mathscape Puzzle is a game that
was used as an intervention in teaching general mathematics. Regardless of the format of the puzzle game,
students can simultaneously build their problem solving skills while having fun throughout the process if an
instructional game is well designed (Mackenty et. al, 2009) The data was analyzed using simple Mean, MPS, SD
and t-Test. Results showed that there was significant difference between pretest and posttest results of both
group of respondents. The findings of this study could help the School Head guidance and direction on what
intervention needed to consider to enhance the students’ performance in general mathematics.

GENERAL MATHEMATICS

Jerson D. Jolo

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the implication of Mathtulungan para Mathtuto in the performance of Grade
11 students in General Mathematics.Experimental method of research was used in this study wherein two groups
from Grade 11 students of Castañas National High School enrolled in General Mathematics were pretested
through a validated teacher made test. Then, one of these groups received an intervention which is Mathtulungan
para Mathtuto. After the intervention the groups were post tested. Statistical tool such as simple mean,
dependent t- test and independent t – test were utilized to analyze and interpret the result of the study.The
findings revealed that the performance level of Grade 11 students yielded a Mean of 22. 8 for sole group and
31.9 for buddy group in the posttest. The study also showed that the t – stat value is higher than t – critical value
which means there is a significant difference between the mean of the posttest of the sole group and the buddy
group. Since the mean of the buddy group is higher, the use of Mathtulungan para Mathtuto can definitely improve
the performance of Grade 11 students in General Mathematics.
The study aimed to determine the effects of MATHTULUNGAN PARA MATHTUTO to the academic performance
of Grade 11 students in General Mathematics. Thirty (30) students enrolled in General Mathematics for the first
semester of school year 2017 – 2018 from Castañas National High School were the participants of the study, ten
(10) high performing learners were paired with ten (10) struggling learners in the peer tutorial program while
another ten (10) students were chosen as a controlled group that is, they studied their lessons on their own. The
MATHTULUNGAN PARA MATHTUTO Project was implemented for three (3) months. The intervention helps the
students increased their academic performance in General Mathematics. This action research paved way to the
use of Mathtulungan para Mathtuto as intervention to address the difficulties of Grade 11 students in General

MEETING PERIODIC ASSESSMENT GAPS: STRENGTHENING QUESTIONING SKILLS

THROUGH STRUCTURED DISCUSSION OF LEARNING COMMUNITY

Sylvia L. Marquez

ABSTRACT: Assessment evaluates effectiveness of teacher and strategies. Thus, teacher needs to be efficient
and competent questioning skills as Leven and Long (1981) emphasized it is equally important pedagogical
strategies. This study aims to capacitate teachers’ questioning skills towards improvement of summative test
from the average three- year results, 57. The descriptive-survey method will be employed using questionnaire to
gather data on the status and challenges in test construction based on Likert scale and later based this for the
learning community activities as part of strengthening their questioning skills. The Q1 test result will be compared
with the Q2 test result to prove the correlation of the SDLC (Structured Discussion of Learning Community using
MPS. This is ongoing and findings will be available before the CBER 2019 presentation. This study is focused
on PSCNHS G7 2019 from the summative test only, since G7 got the lowest MPS and has the most number of
new teachers. Improvement of questioning skills enhances teachers’ confidence and T-L processes to better
Kto12 implementation.

MERIT DEMERIT POINT SYSTEM (MDPS) AS A GAMIFIED STRATEGY FOR ENHANCING THE
RETENTION OF GRADE 8 LEARNERS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Karlo C. Claridades

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Merit Demerit Point System (MDPS) in enhancing
the retention of Grade 8 students in Science and Technology. The quasi-experimental study was conducted last
1st Quarter School Year 2018 – 2019 among the two Grade 8 sections of Dagatan National High School which
were selected purposively due to their similarities. To unravel the effectiveness of the strategy, the results of the
1st Quarterly Examination were gathered and then treated statistically. The study is anchored to the concept of
gamification which states that integrating games during instruction is deemed effective. The mean of the
experimental group ( x̅ = 27.03) is higher than that of the control group ( x̅ = 22.68). Then, the results from t-test
shows that the p value is 0.014, implying that there is a significant difference between the 1st Quarterly
Examination mean between the control and the experimental group (α=0.05). The research is limited only to the
retention of the Grade 8 learners in Science and did not determine their least mastered competencies nor the
improvement of their process skills in the said learning area. The study provides a broader perspective on how
the novel strategy could thrust the retention of the students particularly during Science classes. The research
illuminates the importance of gamification in rendering the teaching-learning process more effective. The study
is heuristic since it is focused on the effect of the strategy specifically to the retention of the students.

Jose A. Catador Jr.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the predictor of students’ performance in mathematics based on
the eight domains of metacognition; declarative, procedural, conditional, planning, information management
strategy, debugging strategy, comprehension monitoring, and evaluation. This study was a descriptive-
correlational research design. It was conducted to 235 SHS grade 11 students enrolled in academic track. The
research instruments were Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Schraw and Dennison, 1994) and the multiple
choice type test. Descriptive statistics such as frequency count and mean, ANOVA, Chi-square, and Multiple
Regression Analysis were utilized to interpret and analyze the results of the data. Results revealed the significant
difference between students’ performance in mathematics as well as their metacognitive awareness. Moreover,
it was recorded that there is a significant association between students’ level of performance in mathematics and
their level of awareness in metacognition. Furthermore, results showed that 76.7% of metacognitive domains
contribute to students’ success in mathematics. However, only declarative, procedural, conditional and
information management strategy significantly predict students’ success in mathematics. It was reported in the
study that high performing students in mathematics are those students who were able to use and manage their
metacognitive awareness effectively.

nag-aaral ng Filipino (wika at panitikan)sa Pampublikong Elementaryang Paaralan ng Bacoor. Ang disenyo ng
pananaliksik ay “descriptive”, kung saan tatangkain ng mananaliksik na pag-aaralan at suriin ang kasalukuyang
damdamin, kaisipan at pananaw ng mga respondente na nakatuon sa pagsusuri ng mga teorya at pagdulog na
ginagamit ng mga guro. Ang resulta ng pagsusuri ay ang mga sumusunod: Mahigit din sa kalahati ng kanilang
bilang ay bago pa lamang sa larangan ng pagtuturo at higit sa dalawang-katlo ng kabuuang bilang nila ay bago
pa lamang sa larangan ng pagtuturo ng mga sanaysay. Halos dalawang-katlo din ng mga tagatugon ay nanonood
ng mga telenobela/teledrama/teleserye kapwa sa GMA at ABS-CBN. Ang karamihan sa mga tagatugon ay
nanunuod at ginagamit ang mga palabas na karaniwang nagsasaad at nagpapakita ng mga istorya ukol sa
kagandahang asal o pagdulog moralistiko (Honesto at Aso ni San Roque), at mga klasikal na dulot din ng
imahinasyon tulad ng Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel, Genesis, at Adarna. Ito’y nagsasaad na ang kalimitang ginagamit
ng mga tagatugon o guro ay mga palabas na kapupulutan ng aral at asal. Ang pinakamataas na pasalitang
kompetensi ng mga mag-aaral ay di nagsasangkot ng pagsasagawa ng pagsusuri ng isang akdang pampanitikan
na naglalayong masangkapan ang mga mag-aaral ng kakayahang maging kritiko ng panitikan. Sa kabuuan ay
makikitang laganap pa rin sa nakararaming produksyon ng mga telenobela/ teleserye/ teledrama ay
napapahayag ng mga pangyayari sa lipunan sa payak na paraan na kung saan ang karamihan ng mga
manonood ay di gaanong nagaganyak na magsagawa ng malalim na pagsusuri ng mga akdang pangtelebisyon.

MMMM (MENTAL MATTOCKS IN MAINTAINING A MATURING LOVE FOR READING): A TOOL

IN ENHANCING THE BASIC SKILLS IN READING COMPREHENSION OF GRADE VIII-
GUMAMELA STUDENTS

George B. Andal Jr.

ABSTRACT: This action research aimed to test the effectiveness of MMMM as intervention material to address
the reading problems of Grade 8- Gumamela students of Cagayan National High School as evident in the
unfavorable result of their Diagnostic Test conducted during the beginning of the school year. Aside from the low
results of the Diagnostic Test, there were other red lights that all point out to varied reading deficiencies of the
learners. These may be categorically classified as reading difficulties. This is also categorically ruled out as
“non- pathological” which means not caused by defects in their speech. To further identify their reading
difficulties and the gravity of such, a pre-test was administered on them. The proponent then carefully gathered
published reading materials to be used as mental mattocks or tool for their comprehension and reading skills.
After the conduct of the intervention materials which included reading materials to name a few, the result of the
post test of the clients reveals a significant increase as compared to their pre-test. The significant increase of the

MODIFIED FORMULAS FOR STOICHIOMETRIC CALCULATIONS THROUGH THE USE OF

SYMBOLIC ALGEBRA

Majourie Belen C. Aguila

ABSTRACT: Most human activities are dependent on burning fuels, thus, combustion of hydrocarbon is taking
place. With this process, carbon dioxide is one of the products which leads to a relentless rise of carbon dioxide.
Stoichiometry determines the possible amount of carbon dioxide for a particular amount of hydrocarbon. There
are classical algorithmic strategies used in stoichiometric calculations, however, yield to a long solution. Thus,
the main objective of this study was to modify formulas for stoichiometric calculations using symbolic algebra.
The modified formulas were driven by basic algebra and involves simple algebraic manipulation where the long
solution is minimized. Expository and applied research were utilized on the exploration of the basic concepts of
stoichiometry and analysis of its mathematical side through the symbolic approach on the balancing of the
combustion reaction of hydrocarbons as well as its dimensional analysis led to the derivation of the modified
formulas. Utilization of the concept of graph and tree of the graph theory established the general formula of
alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. The derived formulas were 𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢=22𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣7𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛+1 for alkanes, 𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢=22𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣7 for alkenes and
𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢=22𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣7𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛−1 for alkynes where u represented the mass of the carbon dioxide, v was the mass of the given
hydrocarbon and n was the number of carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon. The modified formulas were
applied in solving stoichiometric calculations and provided a compact generalized one – step solution in finding
the amount of carbon dioxide produced from the combustion reaction of hydrocarbons.

MODIFIED LAB ROTATION MODEL: A BLENDED E- LEARNING APPROACH TO IMPROVE

STUDENT’S CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF ENGLISH VERB TENSE AND ASPECT

Lovely Rollaine B. Cruz

ABSTRACT: In language Education, verb tense and aspect is one of the most difficult lesson in elementary
grade. For the past three years, S.Y. 2015- 2016,2016-2017 and 2017-2018, English verb tense and aspect is
consistently included in the least mastered skills topic in Grade Five English. This study aimed at investigating
the use of Modified Lab Rotation Model in improving the conceptual understanding of English Verb tense and
Aspect. This model is based on the concept of Blended E-Learning Approach, an integration of traditional “chalk-
talk” and online learning in order to provide educational opportunities that maximize the benefits of each mode
of delivery and thus effectively facilitate student learning. This paper offers a comparative analysis of students’
conceptual understanding and achievement in the Blended E- Learning Approach and traditional classrooms. A
quasi - experimental design, utilizing quantitative and qualitative methods of research was used in this study.
The results revealed significant improvements in the language discourse and achievement of students from both
groups. It also showed that students who used the Modified Lab Rotation Model were more likely to contribute
higher discerning ideas during class discussion. However, further analysis indicated that the Modified Lab
Rotation Model is not necessarily superior over the traditional “Chalk-talk” approach.

Remrena Venesha D. Santamina

ABSTRACT: This study mainly intended to determine the effectiveness of using the modified three period lesson
approach in maximizing number symbol recognition among kindergarten pupils. This utilized the descriptive-
comparative type of research and made use of number symbol nomenclatures and research-made
questionnaires that served as the primary sources of data. This study was conducted in Malusak Elementary
School, Atimonan, Quezon. Through purposive sampling, a total of 7 learner-respondents were used. Using
SPSS, mean and t test were the primary statistical tools utilized to interpret the findings obtained from the study.
The average scores of the learners during the pretest revealed a low level of number symbol recognition which
was improved during the post test. Moreover, it was also found out that there was a significant difference of the
pre test and post test scores of the learners. Thus, modified three period lesson approach is an effective tool in
maximizing number symbol recognition among kindergartners. In the light of the findings of the study, the
researcher modestly recommends the use of modified three period lesson approach in developing number
symbol recognition among kindergarteners.

Emma Pondevilla Dequito, Ramon Yoro Obligar, Jr. & Jarom Abalunan Celestial

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to develop an alternative instructional delivery approach in the curricular
subjects surveyed as most frequently failed by the Senior High School students in one Public Secondary School
in the Philippines under the Department of Education. Its main purpose is to reduce or eradicate the failure rate
of students in the most frequently failed subjects, Statistics and Probability and Physical Science. These two
subjects became the reasons for the high drop-out and failure rate of the school. Hence, MoVIE (Modular Video
Instructional Episodes) was developed and administered for such purpose. MoVIE is a research study co- owned
by the Department of Education and was funded by the Basic Education Research Fund (BERF). The
researchers employed correlational research method whereby the values of variables were recorded and the
correlation between the two variables was established. As a result of the administration of MoVIE to the Grade
11 Students at Risk of Failures for SY 2017-2018, the failure rate in Statistics and Probability had decreased to
zero as paralleled with the high failure rate in the previous school year. The same result was obtained in the
subject Physical Science. Hence, MoVIE proved to be highly effective in lowering and eradicating the failure rate
among the Grade 11 students in the two subjects mentioned. It is therefore highly recommended to be employed
as an alternative instructional curriculum material for the reduction of failure rate in the aforementioned curricular
subjects. Likewise, to further develop MoVIE in all other curricular offerings.

PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 11 STUDENTS IN PHILIPPINE POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE

Luisito M. Vasquez

ABSTRACT: Teaching social science needs to be revitalized towards helping the learner acquire knowledge
and skills in an interactive environment especially nowadays where the curriculum drastically changed over the
past years. In addition, it has often been noticed that there is an increasing gap between the promises made in
the curriculum and what is happening at the level of child’s perception. Thus, this study sought to determine the
effectiveness of multiple graphic organizers as tools in enhancing the academic performance of grade 11
students in Philippine Politics and Governance. This study utilized experimental-descriptive research and used
teacher-made test as main data gathering instrument. The study was conducted at Callejon National High School
during the first quarter of the school year 2018-2019 with 51 Grade 11 respondents chosen purposively. The
following statistical tools were used: mean, percentage, standard deviation, Pearson-r and F-test. The study
found out that the respondents are in the right age in their respective grade. In terms of gender, the female
outnumbered male respondents. As to the perception in the use of multiple graphic organizers, all falls under the
description of “agree/high extent”. Meanwhile, post-test scores revealed that their skill performance got a rating
of 85-89%. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the post-test score in understanding and
comprehension skills when tested to p<.05. Correlation between the perceived use of multiple graphic organizers
and students’ performance revealed that concept map graphic organizer and comprehension are significantly
related. Likewise, compare and contrast graphic organizer is also significantly related to understanding. The
result shows that the utilization of graphic organizers in Philippine Politics and Governance helps the students in
organizing material, recognizing the key concepts, and focus on the important information in the topic. Through
this study, administrators may provide teachers more training and seminars on the new and innovative teaching
instructions.

PERFORMANCE

Kier John A. Maginang

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to enhance the teaching of literature by integrating Howard Gardner’s seven
Multiple Intelligences among 8th Graders in Aplaya National High School Annex in the Division of Santa Rosa
City. A quantitative study- experimental research design was employed to determine the relationship between
teaching of literature incorporating multiple intelligences and performance of the respondents during formative
and posttest. In analyzing the data, the researcher used mean, standard deviation, skewness, T-test, Cohen’s d
and ANOVA as statistical tools. Results revealed that there is no significant difference between the formative test
mean scores of two groups in three literature used in the study thus hypotheses are rejected. There is no
significant difference between the posttest mean scores of two groups in first and second literature hence
hypotheses are rejected. There is no significant difference between posttest mean scores of two groups in the
third literature thereby hypothesis is accepted. In the formative test, significant performance were shown by
visual-spatial and musical-rhythmic groups. Meanwhile, significant performance were shown by almost all of the
groups except the logical-mathematical during posttest. It further established that integrating Multiple
Intelligences had an effect in teaching of literature.The study was limited to integration of Howard Gardner’s
seven Multiple Intelligences in the teaching of literature.The research is deemed original and different from other
existing researches about the Multiple Intelligences since it focused on a deeper and richer context of integration
in the teaching of literature.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE-BASED INSTRUCTIONS (MIBI) IN TEACHING PHYSICAL SCIENCE:

BASIS FOR STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIAL (SIM)

Jay D. Familaran

ABSTRACT: This quasi-experimental study aimed to determine the effects of Multiple Intelligence-Based
Instructions in teaching selected topics in Physical Science. Three sets of 30-item multiple choice type of self-
made tests were utilized. Findings showed that both control and experimental groups got a low performance in
the pre-tests. Moreover, upon teaching the lessons using Lecture, Discussion, and Demonstration in the control
group, post-tests revealed that there were slight improvement in their mean performances while post-tests of the
experimental group using e-Learning, ICL, and Modelling obtained a remarkable improvement. Paired T-test
revealed that there was no significant difference between the mean performance of both groups in pre-test while
a significant difference in post-tests was observed. Meanwhile, ANOVA and Duncan Multiple Range Test
revealed that the control group’s mean increase in Lecture and in Discussion were not significantly different while
the difference was found in Demonstration. On the other hand, the experimental group’s mean increase in e-
Learning was closely related to ICL while the mean increase of Modelling can be compared with that of ICL.
Hence, Science teachers should enhance MIBI utilization through seminar-workshops and conferences to deliver
the lessons in a manner that is respectful to the diversity that exists among students.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AND SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT AT PHILIPPINE NORMAL

UNIVERSITY

Leah R. Burbos

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the significant differences in the science achievement
of students when they were grouped according to their multiple intelligences, and to find out the relationship
among multiple intelligences and science achievement. This study used a causal-comparative design and was
conducted by administering a questionnaire to 165 first year students enrolled in Science 1 during the first
semester, academic year 2012-2013. The students possessed varying levels of multiple intelligences as well as
science achievement. Among the eight intelligences, only the naturalist intelligence, logical-mathematics
intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, and linguistic intelligence have a positive
relationship to the science achievement of the students. However, the results showed that multiple intelligence
was not a significant discriminator between low and high achievers. This also showed that those students that
did not possessed high intelligence in a particular area showed that they could also have a high science
achievement. There are other factors associated with good academic performance in science. Teachers must
know their students’ multiple intelligences so that they can develop teaching strategies and activities that are
likely to make learning more active and engaging for them.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES GROUP: A TOOL IN IMPROVING GROUP PERFORMANCE TASKS

OUTPUTS IN ENGLISH

Cherry May D. Serida

ABSTRACT: One intact section of Grade 9 with 50 students who were enrolled at Santisimo Rosario Integrated
High School served as the participants of the study. The group participants were selected through lottery
sampling. Participants were grouped according to their dominant multiple intelligence using an adopted multiple
intelligence inventory. The teacher-researcher modified some of the performance tasks activities in the learning
module to prioritize the participants multiple intelligences. Nonetheless, the researcher ensured that the modified
performance tasks activities were aligned to the existing competencies in English 9 for the entire first quarter.
The researcher developed rubrics for scoring the group performance. These were validated by the schools’
Master Teacher in English. The researcher used descriptive design in the study. Frequency and mean
percentage scores was used in a analyzing the data gathered. The results revealed that majority of the
respondents in the study belong to Musical Intelligence group while the minority of them belong to the
Mathematical group. The ranking of the multiple intelligence groups according to the number of students from
highest to lowest is as follows: Musical (16) Visual (11), Interpersonal (9), Verbal (7), Naturalist (4), and
Mathematical (3). The groups’ mean percentage scores in all the five group performance tasks given for the
whole first quarter have revealed that the Mathematical Group whose mean percentage is 29.2 performed
significantly better than the other multiple intelligence groups which are Interpersonal Intelligence (27.2), Verbal
Intelligence (26.8), Musical Intelligence (26.2),Naturalist Intelligence (26.4), and Visual intelligence (26.8). Based
from the levels of performance rating scale developed by the researcher, out of 160 total number of items in the
group performance tasks, all the groups got scores ranging from 129-160 which is considered Very High. The
results of the study can be the basis of other English Teachers in the school to also conduct multiple intelligence
inventory in their respective classes. In addition, they may also consider grouping their learners and modifying
their performance tasks activities according to their learners’ MI. This is to help the learners achieve better scores
in the performance outputs which is 40% of the their grade

MULTISENSORY INSTRUCTION: CONNECTION TO VOCABULARY GRASP GROWTH AND

WORD KNOWLEDGE OF GRADE 11 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
STUDENTS

Limuel N. Gohil

ABSTRACT: This research investigates the significant effect of multisensory instruction and students’ perception
towards students’ vocabulary grasp growth and word knowledge. The study used pretest-post design to closely
examine data patterns. The researcher used stratified sampling and used the Paul Nation Vocabulary Level Test
and simplified questionnaire to examine the vocabulary grasp growth of Grade 11 Electrical and Installation
Maintenance students under Reading and Writing class. The data elicited were analyzed through paired t-test
and computed the weighted mean. It was revealed in the study that the common word strategies used by students
largely fall on multisensory instruction scheme design. Strategy 3 and Strategy 4 illustrated higher significance
relative to vocabulary grasp growth. Moreover, a computed t-value of 1.150 is less than the critical value of 3.182
postulated significant result of students’ behavior towards learning new set of words. Meanwhile, pre-test and
posttest mean postulated 23.65 difference which interpreted as significant with respect to the given intervention
(multisensory instruction). The said non-significant result of the intervention is observed due to the setting and
the limited time in the conduct of the study. The study was directed towards assessment of vocabulary grasp
level, subsequently this research may not be generalizable to any language domains. This research advanced a
greater sense from other researches for it largely dwell in classroom setup and pedagogically considers the
utmost need of the students in the field of acquiring new set of thoughts.

Jeneth J. Barba

ABSTRACT: This research was conducted to determine which institution greatly contributes to the success of
the NC II passers. Twenty-eight students were selected using simple random sampling. The checklist was used
to identify the available FBS equipment. On the other hand, the questionnaire was devised to determine the
teaching-learning process, developed behavior, and perceived competence. For the data analysis, frequency
count, percentage and identification of themes were employed. Results revealed that 1) Ninety seven percent
(97%) of the respondents become exposed to the FBS tools and equipment. On the other hand, the institutional
review was only able to cater to 25 or 89% of the respondents. 2) In line with the motivation, school learning
made use of five teaching strategies while the institutional review utilized two. On the assessment part, both
review centers utilized one strategy. 3) From a total of 28 respondents, all or 100% said that they felt competent
after undergoing the school learning. Meanwhile, 20 or 71.43% felt the same from the institutional review and the
remaining 8 or 28.57 % revealed that they were not yet feeling competent. In teaching FBS, the teacher should
provide a variety of teaching strategies; and FBS instructor(s) should also pay attention to developing FBS-
related behavior.

NEWLY-HIRED ELEMENTARY TEACHERS’ KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN

PHONEMIC AWARENESS INSTRUCTION

Helen C. Tanasas,& Charissa B. Pedrablanca

ABSTRACT: The study assessed the knowledge and skills of newly-hired teachers in phonemic awareness
instruction in the division of Gingoog City for the School Year 2018-2019. It employed the mixed method
sequential explanatory research design where quantitative data was first obtained utilizing the adopted
questionnaire from Harris (2016), then qualitative data through FGD and random interview was obtained second
to further explain its quantitative results. The study employed 55 newly-hired elementary teachers as its
respondents. In the analysis of quantitative data, mean, standard deviation Anova and t-test were used while in
the qualitative data, thematic analysis was done. Results of the study indicated that the newly-hired teachers
were poor in terms of knowledge and skills in phonemic awareness instruction whether grouped according to
age, teaching experience or class type handled. The absence of pupils’ assessment on phonemic awareness
acquisition to be paired with the teachers’ assessment results has put limits on the impact of this study in
determining whether the teachers’ competency in phonemic awareness has relationship to pupils’ performance
in literacy acquisition. It is therefore recommended that such study will be explored.

NMD GAMIFICATION MODEL FOR SAN PASCUAL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL I INSTRUCTION

Maria Muriel Manza-De Roxas & Neren Natal Daisy Villas

ABSTRACT: This study sought to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the game-based instruction in
San Pascual Senior High School I and looked into the elements of gamification that can turn the game-based
instruction of teachers to gamified classroom setting. It is less time consuming but more efficient system of
combining rewards and incentives through group and individual pointing system, collaboration and independent
learning. The gamification model is composed of game elements that are teacher and learner-friendly because
they feature the essential elements of digital games and game-based instruction to which learners and teachers
are very much familiar with. Upon using the mixed method of research, it was found out that gamified class will
no longer need to tell the mechanics of the game every time a game will be conducted in a class. Instead, it will
set the mood of the class where they themselves become characters of the game and where they would
individually contribute to the success of the team each time they perform a task well. Therefore, NDM gamification
model was proposed to significantly apply gamification in San Pascual Senior High School I instruction.

NON-COGNITIVE SKILLS AND MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 8 STUDENTS: AN

INPUT TO STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Noel Munda

ABSTRACT: The study determined the relationship between non-cognitive skills and Mathematics performance
of Grade 8 students of Gulod National High School, City Schools Division of Cabuyao, during the school year
2018- 2019. The study was conducted among 447 students with 220 male and 227 female respondents.
Descriptive-correlational type through questionnaire was used to gather information. The questionnaire on grit
was adopted from the study of Duckworth, et. al. (2007). The reliability coefficient of grit was ∝ = 0.81 which is
good. The adopted questionnaire on intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability and Mathematics Assessment Tool
were validated by pool of experts. A reliability analysis was carried out on intrapersonal, interpersonal skills,
adaptability, and Mathematics Assessment Tool comprising 14, 32, 28 and 40 items respectively. Cronbach’s
alpha of 0.741, 0.726, and 0.719 showed the questionnaires reached acceptable reliability for Intrapersonal,
Interpersonal, and Mathematics Assessment Tool respectively, and excellent reliability for Adaptability with ∝ =
0.901. The statistical tools used in this study were Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, and
Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. The levels of respondents’ non-cognitive skills were “Somewhat Gritty” for Grit,
“Average level” for Interpersonal, “High level” for Intrapersonal and Adaptability. Intrapersonal and Attitude are
found to be inversely related to Mathematics performance. Based on the analysis of the data gathered, it has
been concluded that there is no significant relationship between grit, interpersonal such as listening skills,
emotional intelligence and communicating in groups, and adaptability such as self-awareness, personal
management, problem-solving and knowledge of competencies and Mathematics performance while there is a
significant relationship between intrapersonal and adaptability such as attitude and Mathematics performance.

NON-PHYSICS MAJORS’ LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE IN TEACHING PHYSICS UNDER THE K TO
12 CURRICULUM: A BASIS FOR A TEACHER ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM IN SCIENCE

Rochelle S. Balete & Rubie G. Tagle

ABSTRACT: The adoption of K to 12 curriculum in the Philippines brought challenges to the JHS Science
teachers. They tend to teach concepts not within their areas of specialization. This study determined the profile
of non-Physics majors and their level of confidence in teaching Physics as basis for designing a proposed teacher
enhancement program. The study used a descriptive survey type of research. A questionnaire with a mixture of
Likert-scale and open-ended questions was administered to the 40 non-Physics majors of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo
National High School. The data gathered were treated with the use of frequency count, percentage, weighted
mean and average ranking. Also, an unstructured interview was conducted to support the findings of the study.
The results revealed that all teachers have finished Science courses but with varied areas of specialism. The
percentage distribution per specialization were as follows: 52.5% Biology, 27.5% General Science, 15%
Chemistry and 5% Physical Science. Furthermore, the data showed that teachers were confident in teaching
topics for Force and Motion and less confident in Energy with an average mean of 2.7 and 2.4, respectively.
Moreover, only Chemistry Majors were confident in teaching Physics while General Science, Biology and
Physical Science Majors were less confident. Conversely, only Grade 10 teachers were confident in teaching
Physics. The low level of confidence was attributed to their limited knowledge, unfamiliarity of the concepts and
use of mathematical skills. The results implied the need for an enhancement program such as short course in
Physics, peer teaching and in-service trainings to help teachers gain self-confidence and improve the teaching-
learning process in Physics. Hence, the Proposed Teacher Enhancement Program in Science (PTEPS) was
planned. A continuous teacher enhancement program suits the needs of non-majors in Physics that increased
their level of confidence in the subject matter. It will have a positive impact on the teaching and learning in
Science.

NUMERACY INVENTORY DEVICE (NID): BASIS FOR CRAFTING STRATEGIC INTERVENTION

MATERIALS IN MATHEMATICS (SIM-MATH)

Rico A. Herrero, Bernardita O. Salazar & Maggie C. Villanueva

ABSTRACT: Numeracy, like literacy, is key for students to access and make sense of their world (Unrwa, 2011).
The main purpose of this study was to determine the numeracy level of the randomly selected grade seven
students from two big schools in West District of SDO Calamba City during school year 2018 – 2019. In order for
the researchers to gather necessary data, the researchers deviced a tool called the Numeracy Inventory Device
(NID) which measured the students’ numeracy skills. After establishing the device’s validity and reliability, the
researchers conducted the inventory to the respondents. Students have found to have basic numeracy
knowledge and skills such as concepts, properties, and theoretical knowledge. However, they lack on analytical
skills which is very significant in performing operations and solving word problems. Moreover, fraction is one of
the most difficult areas in basic Mathematics as revealed in this study. However, it is the most utilized area in
higher Mathematics. These findings helped out the researchers to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses
in terms of numbers which served as basis in designing intervention materials to improve the students’
mathematics skills.

OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AND COPING STRATEGIES OF TEACHERS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Timothy A. Bautista

ABSTRACT: Empirical data suggests that a teacher’s job is one of the most stressful work to perform. They are
not just tasked to teach a child but also to perform numerous tasks. Hence, teachers are prone to suffer from
physical, emotional and psychological fatigues. Aiming to promote work-life balance and maintain the well-being
of teachers, this paper was conceived. The study utilized descriptive-quantitative research design to investigate
the stressors of teachers. A total of 61 respondents from public secondary schools in Rizal voluntarily participated
in the study through online survey via google forms. Instrument used to determine occupational stress of teachers
was adopted to Kyriacou and Chien (2004) while the Filipino Coping Strategies Scale (Rilveria, 2018) was used
to investigate their coping strategies. Findings revealed that students’ attitude towards the subject, lack of
teaching resources and too much paper works were top stressors for teachers. In terms of coping strategies;
being religiosity, cognitive appraisal, problem solving and seeking social support were applied to relieve their
stress. This paper argued that school administrators and policy makers should choose healthy management
plans to circumvent unnecessary stress at school. Likewise, they must implement effective measures that may
improve work conditions of teachers.

NUMERACY SKILLS OF GRADE SEVEN STUDENTS OF AMAYA SCHOOL OF HOME
INDUSTRIES FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2017 - 2018

Daryl D. Angeles, Edwin H. Luna & Myracle A. Plantılla

ABSTRACT: Mathematics is foundational in many ways that informs our decisions in areas of our lives. Teaching
and learning mathematics is at the heart of education. Learning mathematics aims to link school to everyday life,
provide skill acquisition, prepare students for the workforce, and foster mathematical thinking (Ontario Ministry
of Education, 2005). Mathematics involves learning to problem-solve, investigate, represent, and communicate
mathematical concepts and ideas, and making connections to everyday life (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2005).
According to Ruari Quinn (2011) numeracy is not limited to the ability to use numbers, to add, subtract, multiply
and divide. Numeracy encompasses the ability to use mathematical understanding and skills to solve problems
and meet the demands of day-to-day living in complex social setting. Moreover, the focus of this study was the
level of mastery on four fundamental operations on decimals, integers and fractions of the Grade Seven students.
The respondents were all grade seven students of Amaya School of Home Industries during the school year
2017 – 2018. Descriptive statistics was used after the analyzed data were gathered to further validate results.
The sampling technique was used to determine respondents. Based on the result of the study, Oplan Master
FOWNDIF is an effective intervention program to address the students’ low level of mastery which has a
significant effect on their math academic performance and the school administrators and faculty could make use
of the suggested intervention program to help students improve their academic performance. The findings from
this study will be beneficial to the students, teacher, parents and school administrator and future researchers in
providing tools as well as ways to improve numeracy skills and problem-solving abilities of learners in order for
them to meet the challenges of everyday living.

OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS: A

PHENOMENOGRAPHICAL STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF EXTRA- CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Ma. Victoria C. Magayon, Anabelle A. Fidelino, & Magno R. Abueme

ABSTRACT: All over the world, extra-curricular activitiesare part of the school calendar. Expert said,
theseprovide variety of learning experiences; enabling learners to recall, makeconnections, learn skills, and
become viable for employment; butsometimes, these go the other way around. Withthese reasons, this study
intends to structure the effects of extra-curricular activities offered in Senior High School, guided by the research
question, what are the conceptions of students in their experiences in attending extra-curricular activities?
Anchored on the principles of Making Meaning and Extra Curricular Activities, open-ended survey
questionnairewas developed and validated. Qualitatively, through Marton’s Phenomenographic research,
conceptions of 102 senior high school students were analyzed using thematic analysis. Hence, major themes
emerged such as, the heart that sings, the heart that sings and a mind have conceived, and learning that echoed
back to the classroom and self. Since, it is qualitatively done, the finding was considered as amoderatum
generalization, yet it is valuable for it is the voice of the costumer. Hence, the findings can be use as an input to
school planning and instructional design,and a baseline data for school heads, policy makers and legislators in
the implementation of extra-curricular activities in schools.

OUTCOMES-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL MODELS IN PHYSICS FOR GRADE 7

Rochelle F. Cruz

ABSTRACT: This study focused on how the learners transfer their learning by developing instructional models
and used them during experiments. This is to address the needs of the students to use their own understanding
about the lesson discussed. Likewise, use it to develop and produce manipulative instructional models that allow
students to think and work collaboratively where high understanding of the lesson was expected. Descriptive
developmental and experimental method of design were used with the purpose of evaluating, validating, and
determining the level of performance of students in the experimental and control group through pre-test and post-
test. Thus, the lessons covered in this study were based on the least mastered skills. Rubrics were given to ten
Science teacher-respondents to evaluate the outcomes of the students’ developed instructional models. The use
of the developed outcome-based instructional models made by the students in experimental group enhance the
learners’ performance better than the instructional materials used commonly in teaching Physics for Grade 7
since all computed mean for the post-test are higher in the experimental group than in the control group in all
lessons. The developed models were designed to help improve the academic performance of the students by
using manipulative instructional models that enhance the skills of the students in developing materials and
promote better understanding on the different concepts in Physics.

OVERCOMING WRITING APPREHENSION THROUGH PHOTOVOICE: BASIS FOR

INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN TEACHING CREATIVE NONFICTION

Eugene Ray F. Santos, Cherry M. Aduan & Janel B. Briones

ABSTRACT: This action research explores on the possible ways of enabling learners to overcome writing
apprehension. Photovoice was used as a methodology in addressing writing difficulties in a very creative and
motivating way for the learners. This action research is conducted at Morong National High School, Morong,
Rizal during the First Semester, Quarter 1 of the school year 2018-2019. The study is a qualitative inquiry utilizing
theme-case framework of analysis. The data were collected through a researcher-made reflective journal
[Metacognitive Writing Report (MWR)] which was adopted and modified. The participants of this action research
were the 18 senior high school students under Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS) Strand taking the
specialized subject Creative Nonfiction: The Literary Essay. After data gathering and analysis, it is found out that
participants struggle in choosing topics, crafting a good beginning paragraph (introduction), paragraph
development due to vocabulary limitations, structure, and language conventions. However, the writing task
becomes attainable for the learners through the pre-requisite activities of the photovoice, such as idea mapping,
graphic organizers, and brainstorming which enabled the participants to overcome writing apprehensions. In
addition, the participants learned, through photovoice, that their behavior and attitude towards the writing task,
such as excitement, confidence, hard work, patience and pride are essential in the writing process. Moreover,
the connection, awareness and involvement of the participants in the different social issues become their channel
in writing a nonfiction task while the task itself is their way of reaching and solving problems in real life. Finally,
Photovoice may be done collaboratively or in groups with the participation of the teacher. An oral presentation of
the written work can also make it better.

Keywords: writing, writing apprehension, photovoice, interdisciplinary approach

IKA-ANIM NA BAITANG GAMIT ANG AKLAT NA BULIG
Arvin Dl. Bernardo

ABSTRACT: Ang layunin ng pag-aaral na ito ay mapataas ang karunungan sa pagbasa ng ikalima at ika-anim
na baitang gamit ang aklat na BULIG sa LUMUTAN Elementary School. Ang pag-aaral na ito ay mapaglarawang
pagsusuri at paghahambing na pamamaraaang pag-aaral. Ang una at huling pagtatasa ng Phil-IRI ang
instrumentong gagamitin sa pagkalap ng mga detalye upang matukoy ang Pagpapataas ng antas ng
karununungan sa pagbasa sa Filipino sa ikalima at ika-anim na baitang gamit ang aklat na BULIG. Ang resulta
sa unang pagtatasa ng Phil-IRI sa ikalima at ika-anim na baitang ay lubhang kakaiba sa pagsasagawa ng huling
pagtatasa sa ikalima at ika-anim na baitang sa salitang pagkilala at pag-unawa ng binasa. Samakatuwid bilang
positibong kinalabasan ng pag-aaral, wala ng mag-aaral ang maituturing na nasa antas ng pagkabigo sapagkat
ang pinaka mababang resulta ng isang bata sa Phil.IRI sa huling pagtatasa ay kabilang sa malayang antas ng
pagbasa. Sa pagsisiwalat ng mga datus, ang pagsasagawa ng pagbasa gamit ang aklat na BULIG ay may
malaking pagpapabuti sa mga mag-aaral sa antas ng karununungan sa pagbasa sa FilipinoAng pag-aaral na ito
ay ginawa sa ikalima at ika-anim na baitang (ang ikalimang baitang ay binubuo ng pito na mag-aaral at sa ika-
anim na baitang naman ay binubuo ng anim na mag-aaral). Sandaang porsyento ng bilang mula sa ikalima at
ikaanim na baitang sa taong panuruan 2017-2018 ay kinakailangan ng mas mahusay na pagsasagawa ng
interbensyon. Ang interbensyong ito ay pang-araw –araw na pagpapabasa gamit ang aklat na BULIG at ito ay
naglalaman ng limampung kwento at sanaysay na may literal, hinuha, at kritikal na mga tanong na gawa ng
mananaliksik, kung saan ito ang magiging daan ng mga mag-aaral mula sa pagkabigo ng antas ng pagbasa
hanggang sa sila ay maging malaya o independent na antas sa pagbasa. Ang sariling katangian ng interbensyon
na ito ay susi upang maging mahusay ang kakayahan ng mga bata sa pagbasa sa pagkilala ng mga salita at
pag-unawa sa tulong ng aklat na BULIG.

ON THE READING PERFORMANCE

June Noel A. Bandoy, Julie M. Cauyan & Ma-Ann Gay G. Moreno

ABSTRACT: Reading is one of the most important skills a child should acquire. To determine the reading level
of the learners, different assessment tools were utilized. Remedial activities were given to the learners where
they can also answer at home to assure that the learning process is continuous. This action research aims to
show the effectiveness of “Parent-Assisted Instruction in Grade III struggling readers of San Francisco District
School S.Y. 2018-2019. This action research will help the struggling readers develop their reading ability. This
will also help the teachers in preparing remedial activities and interventions that can cater the needs of struggling
readers. This will also build a harmonious parent-child relationship. The study compares two groups of struggling
readers, the controlled and manipulative groups. The pre and post test results of their Phil-IRI will be compared.
This will be the basis in determining the effectiveness of the parent assisted instruction. The research analysis
shows that the manipulative group shows more improvement in reading comprehension than the controlled
group. The result of the study implies that there is a reason to suggest parent-assisted instruction in developing
the reading ability of the struggling readers.

ABSTRACT: This action research aimed to enhance and improve students’ meaningful experiences in studying
Empowerment Technologies especially on their hands-on activities and increase their level of skills and expertise
using ICT. The researchers employed purposive sampling that determines thirty-five (35) selected SHS students
from different strands of Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL) track employing experimental method of
research. Closed-ended questions and semi-structured interviews were done to elicit answers from the students.
Pretest-Posttest Control Group design was utilized in monitoring student’s level of skills and expertise. The result
showed that pair tutoring is an effective tool in increasing students’ skills in doing hands-on activities in
empowerment technologies. It strengthened students’ literacy not only in academics but also in ICT. Furthermore,
hands-on exam showed that students’ increase his/her performance. With learners limited skills in Empowerment
Technologies, schools’ limited resources, and with the continuous implementation it helps students empowered
in the field of ICT and ready in their future career. This aims to describe the present phenomena in the teaching
and learning process, to be able to tailor teaching pedagogy. Introducing the benefits of pairing or buddy system
to the students can easily adopt not only knowledge but as well social relations, builds friendship and unity.

ABSTRACT: Pedagogy refers to the interactions between teachers, students, and the learning environment and
the learning tasks. The researcher as a Master Teacher I at Calayo Elementary School believed that he had a
responsibility over the teachers as his wards. He, must find ways to help the teachers develop ways to use the
pedagogical approaches and make these approaches work for the teachers and for the pupils as well. He
investigated the teachers’ perception on the use of the new pedagogical approaches in teaching. He also sought
the pedagogical approaches which the teachers were familiar with and which they use in their teaching as well
as the effects of the pedagogical approach use to the performance of pupils. The researcher used the descriptive
method of research to undertake this study. He utilized the questionnaire as instrument which underwent content
validation and peer validation for content and grammar. Responses from questionnaires were collected from a
convenience sample of twelve (12) teachers of Calayo Elementary School. It was revealed that the respondents
had positive perception of pedagogical approaches although they found them difficult to use. Most of the
pedagogical approaches were used by the teachers and those which were not used meant that teachers did not
know how. However, the respondents had positive perception of the effects of the used of pedagogical
approaches to pupils’ learning and behavior. The output of this study was PedaUse, an action plan to promote

WORKSHOP

Brenda R. Garcia, Charmain M. Valero, Anabel A. Calaor & Cynthia E. Ligaya

ABSTRACT: The researchers studied the problems encountered by SHS students in English speaking, and the
causes of these problems. Based on the results, they proposed a seminar-workshop to develop the students’
speaking skills. The researchers conducted a descriptive study. They used questionnaire as data gathering
instrument. There were 170 senior highschool respondents from Academic and TVL tracks. They used weighted
mean in data analysis. The results of the study show that the speaking problems encountered by the students
were: afraid of committing mistakes, not enough vocabulary, pronunciation difficulty, lacks of grammatical
knowledge, lacks of confidence. On one hand, the causes of the speaking problems were, afraid of looking
foolish on front of others, doubt their answers, unable to pronounce correctly, not confident of their speaking
skills, fear of being judge negatively by others. Based from these results, the researchers proposed a speech
laboratory that would help to address the speaking problems encountered by the NAVEARA MIS SHS students.

ABSTRACT: algebraic expressions. Results of this study served as a basis for integrating geometric shapes in
developing an innovative instructional material to enhance Grade 8 students’ mastery level in learning rational
algebraic expressions. The researcher conducted a pre- and post-test to determine whether the integration of
geometric shapes in teaching rational algebraic expressions would improve students’ mastery level in rational
algebraic expressions. The exploratory design was used in two groups, the traditional and the alternative groups,
both composed of 30 students chosen through purposive sampling. Both groups were pre-tested and given post-
test after seven consecutive whole-class teaching sessions. The students’ scores in both groups in the two tests
were compared separately to determine the mean scores. The students were also given a survey-questionnaire
to demonstrate the effects of integrating geometric shapes in teaching rational algebraic expressions. Then,
mean scores in the pre- and post-tests of the two groups were also compared separately to determine the
significant difference of integrating geometric shapes. Results showed that the mean scores of both groups in
the post-test was higher than the pre-test with a mean gain of 5.03 in the traditional group and 1.55 in the
alternative group. Students who enjoyed and appreciated the importance of solving rational algebraic
expressions using geometric shapes enhanced their mastery level with a significant difference of 6.62 in the
traditional group and 1.04 in the alternative group. The results suggested that the innovative instructional material
that integrated geometric shapes in teaching rational algebraic expressions improved students’ mastery level
and student’s active participation, exploration and enjoyment in solving rational algebraic expressions.

ABSTRACT: Teacher’s ability to deal with classroom management issues directly affects student achievement.
The purpose of the study is to determine the perception of newly hired teacher towards classroom management
needed in classroom improvement to widen a learning action cell for professional development. The study
employed qualitative research design through phenomenological approaches and explored the perception of
newly hired teachers. Purposive and randomsampling methods was used in selecting the participants. Results
showed that the perception of newly hired teachers yielded different themes, like “unprepared”, “under pressure”,
“high expectations”, “opportunity”, “errands”, “culture shock”, “accountable”, “confused”, “tradition”, “challenging”,
and “unequipped”. Some traditional practices of “of how to treat newly hired teacher” still exist among public
schools. These and all other challenges in classroom management and instructions, students’ behaviour and
varied of abilities, and lack of resources changed the life of a newly hired teachers. The testimonies of the
respondents reviled the facts that they were still misguided on their first journey as teacher due to existing
malpractices which they called “tradition”. The findings of this study may give the School Head guidance and
direction on what to consider as necessary elements in the classroom improvement and a topic on learning action
cell for the professional development needed of the teachers.

ABSTRACT: Remedial reading program is established to help students with reading difficulties. In order to
establish effective remedial reading programs, the participants’ perspectives on the program should be
considered and explored. However, the number of researches on this topic is limited, thus, this paper was
conducted. This paper used a qualitative phenomenological methodology, through interviews, observations and
documents to collect data. Results showed that the ten student-clienteles, felt nervous and scared before the
program started but it subsided and replaced with happiness, fulfillment and accomplishment during the sessions
and when it actually ended. Also, the teachers and activities played an important role in the participant’s learning.
Schedules and uninterested participants in the program, however, created a negative impact to the participants
in the study. Study results are limited to the reading program mentioned, specifically Grade 7 students and the
coordinators and facilitators of the said program. Study provides a different facet of not only the improvement of
the reading program but also awareness for the facilitators in accounting the student’s perception about it.

PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS ‘ENGLISH-SPEAKING POLICY’ OF SELECTED STUDENTS IN A

PHILIPPINE PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL

Myla R. Suguitan

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of students in a Philippine public
secondary school towards ‘English-Speaking Policy’. To achieve the goal, the researcher utilized survey in
collating the students’ perceptions and interpreted these through descriptive approach. The participants were
composed of 1032 students of Special Science Curriculum (SSC) and Basic Education Curriculum (BEC)
classes. The responses were tallied, tabulated, computed the weighted frequencies, and analyzed. This study
found out that some Philippine public secondary schools implement ‘English-Speaking Policy’ aiming to give
students’ training to develop communicative competencies. In this language policy, this study proves that public
secondary students have positive perceptions for they believe that it could help them realize their instrumental
reasons on learning the language. On the other hand, there is discrepancy between the perceptions of the
students of SSC and of BEC. SSC students have a stronger belief and support for the language policy than of
the BEC students. The school administration should continue this policy for it caters another avenue of learning
the language through experiential ԝay. This is a heuristic research that proves the concept on the failure or the
success of the language policy or any policy depends on the manner of the implementation and on the support
of the people affected by the policy.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS ON TECHNOLOGICAL, PEDAGOGICAL, AND CONTENT

KNOWLEDGE (TPACK) OF BENJAMIN B. ESGUERRA MNHS TEACHERS: AN INPUT TO
SCHOOL PLANNING AND INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

Jesus Jr. F Obenita & Ofelia L. Obenita

ABSTRACT: Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (TPACK) are essential part of the education
system today. It sets up educators to be completely at par and knowledgeable with the curriculum. Nowadays,
millennial students work better through technology (Craig, 2017). But despite of the TPACK framework, student’s
performance is still low as indicated in the mean percentage score in their summative test. Using descriptive
survey, 56 Junior High School teachers answered the validated survey questionnaire with Cronbach alpha of .95.
Two-way Analysis of Variance shows that content knowledge, technological knowledge, and technological
content knowledge scored low; while pedagogical knowledge and technological pedagogical knowledge scored
high, while age, subject area taught, school attended during college, teaching experience, and educational
attainment are significant factors. Finding shows that teachers in Mathematics needs attention in terms of content

PERFORMANCE OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS PROFICIENT TEACHERS BASED ON

CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS

Girlie D. Nombres, Myra B. Sajulan & Andrea Z. Ata

ABSTRACT: The study dealt with the performance of Science and Mathematics Teachers of Antipolo National
High School based on the classroom observation tool. ANHS, as the biggest secondary school in Antipolo, strictly
followed PPST with its initial implementation, school year 2018-2019. This is to ensure quality teachers and
quality teaching to produce academically trained and life-long learners as envisioned by the school. Science and
Mathematics are two of the academic subjects where students have low performance as reflected in the low MPS
obtained by ANHS students during the last two school years. This motivated the researchers to look into the
performance of Science and Math proficient teachers of ANHS as reflected in their classroom observations and
its effect on the performance of grade 10 students. The participants of this study are five grade 10 Science, five
Math proficient teachers and selected grade 10 students of ANHS. The overall ratings from the four observations
of grade 10 Mathematics and Science proficient teachers were obtained from the Classroom Observation Tools
(COTs). The mean percentage scores (MPS) of the students were also obtained from first quarter to the fourth
quarter. This study revealed that the performance of Science and Math teachers in terms of the indicators in the
COT ranges from very satisfactory to outstanding. Students’ performance in the two subjects both fall under the
nearing mastery level. This study also resulted to the no significant relationship between the performance of
grade 10 Science and Math teachers based on the classroom observation and the students’ performance. The
same level of student performance was obtained even after the implementation of the PPST classroom
observations. As an output, the researchers made an action plan for teachers. The result of this study will
motivate teachers to perform better not only during the four classroom observations. This will also encourage
department heads to provide follow-up observations to teachers.

SPECIALIZED COURSES

Frederick G. Andal, Jhancel Mae M. Adra & Kimberly C. Coliat

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the personal and instructional factors affecting learners’ performance in
ABM Specialized Courses. Specifically, the study sought to unravel the students’ perception on specialized courses;
to unleash the different personal factors influencing students’ performance; and to identify the instructional factors
affecting students’ learners’ performance in ABM specialized courses. The research utilized descriptively-thematic
synthesis method in understanding the perception of 10 ABM students of Alangilan Senior High School about shared
meanings and experiences in terms of the personal and instructional factors that affect learners’ performances. An
interview guide was used as the study’s data gathering instrument. Based on the study’s results, students perceived
ABM specialized courses as a helpful tool for their college preparation. Likewise, learners preferred accounting 1 and
2 among all the specialized courses. Furthermore, students find accounting course difficult and challenging so they
tend to focus and give much effort in studying. Learners’ interest and passion are the most said motivation in studying
ABM specialized courses. Additionally, few students told that they are motivated because of their dream and goal in
the future. Moreover, having a focus in discussion is the most preferred coping mechanism for the challenges encounter
in ABM specialized courses. Students believed that through instructional materials and teaching techniques their
understanding in every topic would be accurate and precise. Furthermore, students wanted a more peaceful classroom
and campus environment in order to focus and comprehend well in every discussion and activity. Also, teachers are
competent enough to asses learners’ performance in ABM specialized courses. In regards with these, the study
recommends students may engage themselves in setting priorities while studying ABM specialized courses.
Furthermore, students may adopt and discover learning techniques such as practice testing, distributed practice,
highlighting, and self-explanation. Faculty may facilitate a learning program or study hour to effectively instruct students
with specific strategies they may utilize in their studies. Future researchers may conduct similar studies on social,
environmental, intellectual factors that could also affect students’ performances in ABM specialized courses.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS

Alberto N. Layug, Maria Victoria B. Rodriguez & Mary Joy B. Fonte

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to determine the relationship between personality traits and the efficiency in
classroom management of select secondary public school teachers in District 3B of City Schools Division of
Cabuyao, school year 2019-2020. This study utilized descriptive method of research and used stratified random
proportionate sampling technique in choosing the respondents. The following statistical tools/techniques were
employed for the statistical treatment of the data: frequency and percentage distributions, weighted means, and
Pearson’s Product Moment of Correlation. Based on the findings, the study had proven that the intellectual traits
and social traits of the respondents had no relationship to the handling of classroom discipline, routinary activities,
and physical environment of the teacher in the classroom. Only the guidance and direction of the learning process
of the teacher in the classroom had a relationship to intellectual attribute, while guidance and direction of the
learning process had a relationship to social attribute of the teachers. Based on the cited findings, it was found
out that the general score of the respondents in intellectual attributes was only 10.75 interpreted as very
satisfactory, It is highly recommended that the teachers need to enhance it further to obtain outstanding level.
Teachers are recommended to attend personality development seminar to enhance their confidence, improve
their social relationships and have a positive outlook in life. Teachers should always develop positive attributes
such as being understanding, compassionate, empathetic and optimistic. The researcher believes that the
enhancement program would be a big help to improve the overall performance of the teachers towards the
teaching-learning process.

PERSONALIZED TEACHING OF CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH: THE NEEDS OF GRADE FIVE

PUPILS OF NASUGBU WEST CENTRAL SCHOOL

Lilybeth A. Guernaldo

ABSTRACT: As a master teacher, the researcher had tried a number of instructional materials and teaching
strategies to hone the speaking, listening, reading and writing skills of her pupils. However, time and again she
encountered problems which she believed could be addressed by thoughtful planning and use of personalized
and specialized learning materials. She focused on the conversational skills of pupils. In order to realize her
objectives, she was set to determine the needs of Grade Five pupils of Nasugbu West Central School in learning
conversational English and the problems that the participants encountered as they learn conversational English.
She used the descriptive design with the questionnaire as the data gathering instrument. There were fifty-one
(51) pupil participants from Grade Five Section 1 and Section 2 pupils. She used convenience sampling in
choosing the participants. Results showed that the pupils needed their teacher to find time to use varied teaching
strategies to complement their learning styles in learning speaking in English. These strategies had to be
practical and applicable encased in carefully thought out plans and appropriate teaching/instructional materials
within a friendly and conducive learning environment. The pupils revealed that they had underdeveloped
grammar and were not sure of the pronunciation which made them afraid of being embarrassed. They had been
under time constraints and were afraid their teacher would scold them. Stammering and learning environment
also affect their boldness to speak. However, they denied that their teacher did not give them appropriate
citations as they progress in speaking English. In view of the results, the researcher proposed a personalized
teaching material called ConverseMe conversational English.

PHENOMENOGRAPHICAL COLLOQUIES OF THE HALLYU WAVE AMONG THE SELECTED

STUDENTS OF TAYTAY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL,PHILIPPINES

Fe Atanacio-Blas & Charelome O. Erestain

ABSTRACT: The invasion of the South Korean culture in the Philippines has spanned in almost three decades
where the former started exporting their drama series that caught a wide public attention in Philippine TV on
1990’s. The evolution since then was foreseen inevitable that in fact from 1.0 (K-drama), 2.0 (K-pop), 3.0 (K-
culture), it continues to evolve into 4.0 (K-technology and online games) and the developing and ongoing 5.0 (a
possible pan-pacific cross over). In this study, the Hallyu wave was carefully delineated by the researchers thru
extensive literature reviews and further affirmed by the colloquies of the selected senior High School participants
using the phenomenographical approach. A Focus-Group Discussion was conducted that anchored with the
theories of Soft Power (Nye, 1990), Desire Fulfillment(Heathwood, 2014), Cultural Hybridization (Ryoo, 2009),
and Cultural Intermediaries(Maguire and Matthews, 2012). From the results of the colloquies, the researchers
were able to bracket and expound qualitatively the following analysis and synthesis of results based from the
responses of the participants: struggle, ingenuity of ways, influences, inexplicable satisfaction, fandom bonding,
the irony of situation, inspired by idol and dream away. These results paralleled the theories used to support the
study and as such, proved the continuing wave and fever of the Hallyu culture in the Philippine archipelago. In
future studies, the researchers recommend that a western counterpart in the area of adaptation and appreciation
could be explored, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

PRE – SERVICE TEACHERS’ READINESS MEASURE TO TEACH PROBABILITY AND

STATISTICS IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Neil Andrew T. Cacas & Marilyn U. Balagtas

ABSTRACT: This study aims for the development of measure to determine the readiness of pre-service teachers
in teaching Probability and Statistics in the Senior High School (SHS) Program. The measure informs the self-
efficacy, content knowledge, and level of understanding of the content and competencies in this core course in
this SHS Program. The study involved 40-purposively selected pre-service teachers from a known teacher
education institution (TEI) who were assessed using a valid and reliable researcher-made instrument. The results
reveal low content knowledge and understanding in Probability and Statistics in SHS of the pre-service teachers.
Moreover, their level of self-efficacy to teach the content and competencies in this core course in the SHS
Program was generally in moderate extent. The results imply more intensive training to be given to pre-service
teachers to deepen their level of understanding and increase their self-efficacy in teaching the contents of
Probability and Statistics for SHS. The Teacher Education Curriculum should also be strengthened to produce
pre-service teachers confident to teach the content and application of Probability and Statistics in real-life.
Conduct of assessment of pre-service teachers of other TEIs is also suggested to have a better picture of the
state of pre-service education in the country as far as the preparation of teachers in Probability and Statistics in
the SHS program.

ABSTRACT: Adequate assistance in the learning process is important using accurate estimation of learners’
academic performance based on new emerging technique. Discovering new knowledge and finding meaningful
variables answers educational problem such as factors affecting learners’ performance. Educational data
contains hidden information for analyzing, extracting information and knowledge to find patterns and used this
for decision-making. In this paper Naïve Bayesian Classification Method is used for model construction and
testing. Cross validation method and percentage split method were used to evaluate the efficiency of this
algorithm. Linear Regression is used to identify the significant predictors that affect the learners’ performance.
Classification task used WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) as pre-processing mechanism
for 10-fold cross validation where classification models were generated .The simulation results shows that with
Naïve Bayes Classification Method algorithm for classification with correctly classified instance of 93.48% and
incorrectly classified instance of 6.52%, this result indicates that with classification method the accuracy level of
prediction increases. To validate the generated model, the experiments were conducted using real data. The
result is a good model intended to be used in school decision support system in predicting learner’s academic
performance.

Mark Jessie P. Delen, Jose Efraeim D. Ylagan & Byron James C. Balbuena

ABSTRACT: Philippine Educational System has undergone a quantum leap of changes as Enhanced Basic
Education Curriculum shed into light. This educational breakthrough sought to provide for a quality 12 – year
basic education cycle that each Filipino is entitled to. This, however constituted to a bigger problem – job
mismatch which sprouted from poor career planning and decision making. This research quantifies the intensity
of the already present factors such as personality, environment, and opportunity used by students in choosing
their career. This research examined the relationship of career choice between environment, opportunity, and
personality of grade 10 students of Porfirio G. Comia Memorial National High School. To realize this objective,
200 grade 10 students were selected as research respondents through stratified random sampling. Quantitative
research utilizing descriptive and correlational design was employed to interpret the data. The findings revealed
that opportunities and student’s personality factors had influenced the career decision making and it showed
strong positive relationship (WM 3.87 and 3.59, respectively). On the other hand, environment factors had less
impact in the career decisions (WM 2.87). Correlational analysis, however, showed the significant relationship
among the decision-making factors. Therefore, based from the results of the study, an intensive career guidance
plan elevating conscious awareness of students regarding career paths is proposed.

PROJECT CLEAR (COMPREHEND LESSONS IN ENGLISH AFTER READING)

Alicia N. Manaig, Criselda Inah B. Billardo & Anna Lee R. Dimapilis

ABSTRACT: Reading comprehension plays a vital role in the academic performance of pupils. They need to
comprehend and understand stories to be able to solve Mathematics problems and follow instructions in English
and in Science experiments or activities. Based on the PHIL- IRI results, the number of pupils who can read
without comprehension increases this School Year 2016-2017 by 109 or 39% in Grade Three level only. This
greatly affects the results of quarterly tests since these pupils cannot identify the correct answer because they
are having difficulties in comprehending the stories or situations.A descriptive method design was used. We
conducted Focus Group Discussion/ Interviews with Grade Three Teachers. The researchers had considered
Grade Three Pupils under Frustration level based on the PHIL- IRI Results S.Y. 2016-2017 and Six Grade Three
Teachers as their respondents. The graph shows the PHIL-IRI pre-test and post- test results. It can be noted that
out of 109 pupils under FRUSTRATION level, it went down to 32. In addition, 71% out of 75% of the target was
attained.The correct ‘process’ of teaching – reading plays key role on the improvement of pupils’ reading level.
In addition, the use of localized/contextualized materials and observing correct time allotment for each part of the
lesson help in the attainment of the learning competency.

Leane V. Laroza, Jennifer M. Martinez, Mary Jean F. Aguelo, Ronald G. Laroza, Rosanna A
Sales, Rossana C. Ranoco & Matilde B. Pujalte

ABSTRACT: A learner who enters secondary education should possess the necessary reading skills to have
access to increasingly complex knowledge in other academic learning areas. But, sad to say, the number of
students with reading difficulties who enter high school is increasing. Project ERRR (Eat Right Read Right), a
reading and feeding program addressed such problem and bridged the learning gaps among students who
entered high school lacking the basic reading skills. This study focused on the effects of efficient reading
instruction with feeding program among the 30 Grade 7 learner-recipients chosen based on the results of the
reading assessment conducted during the enrolment for SY 2018-2019. Among the recipients who underwent
the feeding and reading program for almost three months, 80% has improved from beginning to developing level.
This shows that struggling readers can learn to read faster and perform better if they are not hungry. Nutrition
and health are powerful influences on students’ learning and how well they perform in school.

This study is a quantitative research that focused on the comparison of the results in pre – assessment and post
– assessment as the basis of students’ water intake in the implementation of Project H2O. The data gathered
were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study focused on water intake of the students. It was found out
that there was a significant improvement on the students’ water intake upon the implementation of Project H2O
with the results of pre – assessment (M = 3.39, SD = 0.74) and post – assessment (M = 4.53, SD = 0.32), t (45)
= 0.00 ≤ 0.05. This is only limited on the use of Project H2O as an intervention and not on the factors that affect
the water intake of the students. The result of this study is of benefit to MAPEH teachers in improving the students’
water intake for better health and learning. There are similar studies on assessing the water intake of the students
but this study is focused on the use of Project H2O as an intervention to increase the water intake of the students.
Hence, this study is not a duplicate of any other researches since it used an original strategy and activities to
improve the students’ water intake.

Marinelle P. Eslabon

ABSTRACT: Project HELP which is anchored on DepEd Cavite Division Programs, Projects and Activities ought
to establish a structured plan to implement interventions to address learning competencies in Science 9 by
promoting an attitude of “helping” and an environment with “collaboration” among teachers, students and parents.
In general, it aims to improve academic performance of students thus establish peer to peer connection among
learners through direct instruction and personalized approach based on the learners’ need. The respondents of
the study were fifty (50) Grade 9 students at risk of Ternate National High School. The study was conducted in
five phases which includes: (I) development and validation of research instrument, (II) identification of
respondents, (III) distribution of informed/parental consent and orientation, (IV) implementation of Project HELP
and (V) administration of post module test and quarterly test. This study used statistical tests such as mean,
standard deviation, mean percentage score and t-test. Findings revealed that implementation of Project HELP
highly affected and improved the academic performance of the respondents as revealed by post module test
scores. The MPS of the first quarter also increased by 7.68%. Statistical results showed that there is a significant
difference in the academic performance of Grade 9 students before and after Project HELP. This action research
involves utilization of validated modules, remediation tools and formative assessments that facilitated learning of
Grade 9 students at risk. Coordination to parents, cooperation of respondents and support of willing student
tutors positively affected the outcome of the study. However, the researcher identified other problems affecting
academic performance such as poor reading and comprehension skills that must be addressed in further studies.
Project HELP (Help Every Learner through Partnership) is an intervention comprehensively planned and crafted
to improve academic performance of students at risk in Science 9 thus strengthen collaboration of teachers,
parents and students. Patience, study habits, peer-to-peer connection, vocabulary, comprehension and parent’s
participation were developed throughout the study.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to determine the effects of Project ICT (ICT Cultured Teaching) in the
Performance of Teachers upon implementation in the School Year 2017-2018. This action research is intended
to come up with a unique intervention specifically intended to help classroom teachers in elementary level to
increase their knowledge and skills in using ICT as a tool for teaching and at the same time increase their IPCRF
Rating this school year 2017-2018 as compared to the previous year rating as baseline. This study used all seven
(7) teachers of Col. Lauro Dizon Elementary School. The instrument used to gather data were the IPCRF in SY
2016-2017 as the basis in the implementation of this study. The 2017-2018 IPCRF rating indicates the effects of
the Project ICT (ICT Cultured Teaching on the Performance of Teachers. Based on the paired t-test for single
group of respondents there is a significant difference in the Mean Percentage Scores between the Pre-and Post-
Reading Assessment Results with a p value of 0.05. Hence, it can be noted that UST-NSTP Literacy Program
can improve the reading ability of the pupils in English and Filipino. The results demonstrate that Project ICT (ICT
Cultured Teaching) improved the performance of teachers in terms of their IPCRF rating; promoted personal
accountability among teachers about their own learning and making themselves to grow professionally. Future
researchers should conduct further research to examine if Project ICT (ICT Cultured Teaching) could affect the
academic performance of the pupils in terms of the result of the Quarterly Assessment. One good research is to
utilize the 10 schools in the district. Moreover, future researchers can use other teachers outside the district as
respondents of the study to further proved the effects of Project ICT in the Performance of Teachers.

PROJECT KIA (KIDS IN ACTION) : ALLEVIATE SEPARATION ANXIETY OF THE

KINDERGARTEN PUPILS

Maricel P. Ortiz

ABSTRACT: It’s natural for your young child to feel anxious when you say goodbye. In early childhood, crying,
tantrums or clinginess are healthy reactions to separation and a normal stage of development. Separation anxiety
can begin before a child’s first birthday, and may pop-up again or last until a child is four years old. However,
both the intensity level and timing of separation anxiety vary tremendously from child to child. The scenario
happened every school year in Macabling Elementary School particularly in Kindergarten pupils. Crying, shouting
and sometimes they are losing anger. The school wanted to change that kind of scenario during first day of
classes Project KIA (Kids in Action) is one of the programs and projects of Macabling Elementary School. The
objective of the project is to develop the 7 domains which are the gross motor, fine motor, self-help, receptive
language, expressive language, cognitive and socio-emotional skills of the pupils. This will also help the pupils
to ease the separation anxiety, by diversion of emotions through play. This Project KIA also aligned in the SDO’s
initiative program – BDO Building Development Opportunities.

ABSTRACT: The influence of parental involvement on a pupil’s academic performance should not be
underestimated. ( Pinantoan, 2016). While genetics plays an important role on how naturally a pupil performs in
his/her class. Among Grade 4 pupils of Ramos class, it is a prevailing observation that majority of them perform
poorly in class, particularly in reading. Hence, the Project PEESH (Parents’ Engagement toward Enhanced Study
Habits) was conceptualized by the researcher. The project aims to involve the parents particularly those who
stay in school to supervise. This research sought answers to the followings questions: (1)What is the level of
study habits as perceived by the Grade 4 teachers?; (2) How is the level of parents’ engagement ass perceived
by Grade 4 teachers?; (3) How do Grade 4 pupils and parents perceive the Project: PEESH? : and (4) What are
the implications of Project PEESH in terms of pupils’ study habits? This study was of mixed method research
that is, both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to gather data. A researcher-made questionnaire,
interviews and FGDs were utilized. The study revealed that Project PEESH impacted the study habits of the
Grade 4 pupils as manifested by the improvement in attendance and academic performance.

PROJECT RACE TO RAISE: EFFECTS OF RESEARCH ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN IN ENGLISH

TOWARD RAISING RESEARCH SKILLS OF STUDENTS

Ms. Karla Mae A. Castro

ABSTRACT: This study is an attempt to address the difficulties of Grade 10 students at Manuel I. Santos
Memorial National High School in research writing through raising a program called “RACE” (Research Advocacy
Campaign in English). This aims to provide enhancement on their critical thinking skills, as well as prepare them
for research writing in senior high school and tertiary level. With regard to the effects of PROJECT RACE to the
students’ research writing skills, the researchers conducted observations, interviews, and surveys to the six
research instructors and the 22 group leaders from two selected sections in gathering information for this
qualitative research. The descriptive research design was used to address the research problem at hand. The
results indicated that the struggle with sentence construction, use of correct grammar, insufficient idea about
research writing per se contribute to the difficulties experienced by the students in writing a research paper.
Additionally, the teaching strategies used by research instructors were also factors that affect the skills of the
students. This study somehow revealed that some of the instructors were not competent to teach research. So,
as an action plan, the findings of this investigation were used as a basis to improve the quality of research
instruction to students through the raised program termed Project RACE. Moreover, this also helped to change
the students’ perspectives of toward research writing from nay to yay.

PROJECT REAP (READING ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES WITH PARENTS) AND THE READING
ABILITY OF STRUGGLING READERS IN GRADE ONE

John Cyrus L. Doblada & Ronnie B. Rodrigo

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to increase the reading ability of struggling readers in grade one and make
all the grade one pupils a reader. This project is anchored to the idea of Lev Vygotsky known as “Vygotsky
Scaffolding” where in pupils who are not ready to read may learn it through the help and guidance of their parents.
The researcher made use of a single group experimental design. The researchers exposed all the selected 37
struggling readers in Project REAP then their reading ability will be assess during and after the said project. After
the implementation of Project REAP, 54% of struggling reader/non reader become a story reader, 8% become a
sentence reader, 11% become phrase reader and 22% become word reader but there are still 5% pupils who
are still struggling in reading. This implies that 95% of the struggling readers improved. The study was
implemented in a short period of time, uses only 37 grade one pupils and to really test the effects of the Project
REAP, it needs the full participation of the parents involve in the said project. The researcher used a teacher-
made reading readiness assessment tool for the Project REAP. This research will help all the struggling pupils
to improve their reading performance.

ABSTRACT: This study focused on a responsive, relevant and appropriate approach infused with Bloom’s
Taxonomy of Cognitive Thinking Skills as well as text-visual instructional materials and 5E Learning Model
developed into different RED-SIM cards in teaching Science 8 that established a higher order thinking skills
among the learners. A total of 120 grade eight learners serves as the respondents. The study utilized quasi -
experimental study, particularly the non-equivalent dependent variable. This type of evaluation aims to determine
through pre - test and post - test whether a program or intervention has the intended effect on a study’s
respondents. This is applicable to the study, since this was intended to determine the effects of RED-SIMs on
the acquisition of grade eight Science concepts. Gained scores were analyzed and interpreted employing
statistical measures. The results indicated that the mean percentage scores (80.40%, 81.86%, 82.05%, 84.56%)
of grade eight learners obtained from posttest in each grading period after the utilization of RED-SIM Cards was
significantly higher than the pre-test MPS (65.92%, 66.84%, 67.89%, and 68.25%). The mean scores obtained
from posttest in each grading period and after the utilization of RED-SIM Cards were significantly higher than the
pre-test mean scores. The observations and findings of the study have a strong and useful educational
implications to improve the performance level of the learners in Science 8 using RED-SIM Cards. In addition,
other learning areas and other year level can adopt (imitate), adapt (adjust or level up) and adept (excellence/

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this action research was to enhance the reading ability of thirty-four(34)
Grade IV-VI ill/struggling readers of Maragondon Elementary School by at least 20%. This study used the
descriptive research design. Fuller approach in reading was utilized by a reading teacher to combat pupils’
reading difficulties. This was done in five by 5 consecutive Fridays(August 9 to September 6, 2019). Each pupil’s
reading ability was assessed by their English teacher using the Phil-IRI passages, result was then tabulated and
analyzed. The study showed that 71% of the total respondents had improved their reading ability after they have
been exposed to this reading intervention. The data also revealed that younger pupils performed better than the
older ones. Paired sample T-test showed that there is a significant difference on the result of the pupils’ reading
level before and after they have been exposed to Project SAGIP. Research Limitations/Implications: This
research was only limited at improving the reading level of thirty-four(34) pupils of Maragondon Elementary
School using the Fuller approach in reading. This reading intervention may be adopted by all English teachers in
the school especially to primary pupils to eradicate or lessen the number of struggling readers in the intermediate
level which poses a hindrance for better learning in the higher grade levels. Originality/value: The intervention
used in the Project SAGIP can be now used as a vehicle to help pupils read at their early age.

PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT LITERACY PROGRAM FOR GRADE 9 STUDENTS IN LIPA

CITYNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Jereme F. Falcatan

ABSTRACT: This research is significant to school’s performance. This will formulate enhancement literacy
program for Grade 9 students in Lipa City National High School that can be applied in all grade levels. The study
utilized the descriptive method of research. Furthermore, it is an evaluation study which sought to find the
difficulties encountered by teachers in the use of discovery approach in teaching. A questionnaire was used to
gather data. Respondents were asked about the factors that possibly affect the first grading academic
performance. The data were then retrieved, tallied, statistically treated and interpreted. Showing importance to
any member of the family nurtures social competence of each other especially those members in the adolescent
stage. This plays an integral part in developing skills needed in a positive academic performance. Emotional
intelligence influences student’s achievement. Students with low ability but high emotional intelligence do better
in school than those with low emotional intelligence. Students should not always be judged based only on their
academic performances. As what they said, grade doesn’t define your personality. It is better if the teachers will
look into the root cause of underachievement of the students and find ways on how to help them coping with the
lesson whatever difficulty they are going through.The study focused on the first grading performance of Grade 9
students in Lipa City National High School during the school year 2018-2019. The respondents of the study were
150 students whose performance was not as satisfactory as their performance when they were in Grade
8.Teacher-adviser, subject teacher may utilize or adopt this Proposed Enhancement Literacy Program for Grade
9 Students to improve the performance of the students academically inside the school.

JCPMES

Marie S. Almarez

ABSTRACT: The study proposed an effective work plan that will strengthen the Campus Journalism Program
of the school. Descriptive-qualitative research design was used in this study by conducting interview with the
previous Staff of Student Publication and Focus Group Discussion with the former School Paper Advisers.
Campus Journalism in schools is highly valuable but a more systematic
and effective work planning is significant. Strengthening campus journalism program improves quality teaching
and learning through organized trainings for the School Paper Journalists and School Paper Advisers. An
effective work plan helps discover
the potentials of the students in the different categories of journalism. It is evident that students learn to become
more responsive and responsible through campus journalism. This study is limited to the responses of the
respondents to the interview and Focus Group Discussion. The result of this study could be used as a springboard
to strengthen the campus journalism program in every school. The work plan as the output, provides effective
strategies and activities that could be used as guidelines in leading young journalists toward an innovative way
of expressing their thoughts and ideas.

PROSPECT OF ADOPTING UNIFIED CODE OF ETHICS IN WRITING RESEARCH FOR THE

STUDENT RESEARCHERS

Pablo A. Regalario

ABSTRACT: The prupose of the study was to evaluate the current codes of ethics for the student researchers
and propose a unified code of conduct that will guide the reserachers in research writing. The researcher utilized
the qualitative evaluative design to have a deeper understanding of the issue. The study did not use any
respondents but the current codes of conduct suggested by the American Psychological Association (APA),
Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (ACRC), and European University Institute (EUI).
Content analysis was used to compare the existing codes and served as the basis of the new one that may be
adopted not only in the Division but also in the country. Significant findongs showed conflicting statements that
may lead to several interpretations. One code of conduct consisted of items that are less compared to others that
have more. Authors of the codes utilized terminologies different from the others. Moreover, some contents that
were present in the other were not found in the rest. In the Philippines, no school has adopted any of the codes
mentioned that may have contributed to the worsening problems of plagiarism and academic dishonesty among
learners. teh study only focused on the evaluation of the existing codes of conduct in order to propose a unified
code that will be adopted by the school. Issues on plagiarism and knowledge of the students about those codes
were not covered by the study. Proposed unified code may guide current and future researchers in the country
in conducting research. The study is heuristic because the researcher tried to solve the problem on plagiarism
and improve knowledge of the learners on the research process by providing a unified code of conduct that would
serve as their guide in writing their paper.

PUPILS’ PERCEPTIONS ON VARIED CLOSURE ACTIVITIES IN ENGLISH CLASS

Margie A. Magnaye

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the Grade 6 pupils’ perception on the various strategies in closing
the lesson in English class with the end view of giving recommendations that would help teachers improve and
prepare more effective and meaningful lesson closure strategies for the students. With the use of descriptive
type of research, survey, and focused group discussions as data gathering procedures, the study was conducted
using a total of 265 participants. The data gathered were statistically treated using frequency count and weighted
mean. The results showed that varied closure activities help Grade 6 pupils to understand their everyday lesson.
These varied closure activities help pupils to synthesize their lesson, easily recall and remember grammar
concepts and improve reading comprehension skills, draw conclusions, and be highly motivated to study or
review their lessons at home as perceived by the respondents. Moreover, pupils perceived that they participate
actively in synthesizing the lesson, and can easily draw conclusions on the day’s lessons using think, write, pair,
share. While, they can easily recall the concepts and skills about the topics discussed if the teacher uses riddle
challenge. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that Grade 6 English teachers continue to use
varied closure activities as these help pupils understand, summarize or synthesize, improve grammar and
comprehension skills and easily recall their lessons and most importantly, inspire and motivate pupils to study
their lessons at home. Teachers may also consider more creative strategies which could enhance pupils’ oral
and written communication and at the same time make them enjoy the learning process. These varied closure
activities would leave a great impact to pupils especially if they could to relate it to real-life situations.

PYROLYSIS OIL FROM WASTE PLASTIC BOTTLES AS FUEL FOR A TWO-STROKE ENGINE

R.T. Ariban

ABSTRACT: Plastic waste is a major problem in Region IV-A (CALABARZON). Despite efforts of local
government units to recover plastic wastes, the average volume of recycled plastics is far less than 4,440.15
tons of waste generated every day in the region. In this study, waste plastics made from Polyethylene
Terephthalate (PET), mostly used for soft drink bottles, were converted to fuel to run a two-stroke engine that
can operate a small power generator. Waste plastic bottles went through pyrolysis to be converted to fuel. Ten
(10) Kg of soft drink bottles collected from the surrounding communities were shredded and fed (5 Kg per batch)
to an improvised heating chamber made of metal that was heated less than 600 °C. Pyrolysis oil was collected
from the container connected to the heating chamber via metal pipe. Finally, it was transferred to a two-stroke
engine – same device found in chainsaws and weed trimmers – to be tested. The operation of the two-stroke
engine fueled with pyrolysis oil lasted approximately two (2) hours shorter compared to standard grade diesel.
Its operating duration is dictated by the amount of pyrolysis oil transferred to the device. The experimental setup
yielded approximately 1.8 L of pyrolysis oil which is equivalent to 23% weight of waste plastic bottles. Also, it
produced a yellowish solid residue by-product which is equivalent to 8% of the feedstock’s weight. The remaining
69% were the gaseous yield of the experiment. The pyrolysis oil produced has a lighter color compared to a
standard grade diesel. Meanwhile, the two-stroke engine functioned closely similar to a standard grade diesel
but with considerable amount of emission mainly because of impurities. The results show that pyrolysis oil from
waste plastic bottles can be used as fuel and/or fuel additive for a two-stroke engine that can drive a small power
generator. However, waste plastic bottles yield more gas by-products than pyrolysis oil, therefore, creating a
need to conduct experiments on other waste plastic materials.

PERFORMANCE IN ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM

Chris T. Sagarino

ABSTRACT: The Department of Education (DepEd) provides learner’s materials to the teachers that can be
used in the classroom to support specific learning objectives. Unfortunately, some of the activities are not suitable
in the hinterland areas due to insufficient school facilities. However, this study will focus on developing and
utilizing board game as instructional material in teaching electricity and magnetism. There were 45 respondents
who evaluated and use the developed board game. The development of the board game consists of 3 phases
namely; Pre-development, Development and Post-Development. Analysis of the data has shown that the
readability of the text materials was readable and easily be understood. The gain scores between the control and
experimental group was highly significant as indicated by the very small p-value of 0.0034. Furthermore, the
students never performed the activities and the board game because they had no choice but rather because of
the concept of value, usefulness, interest and enjoyment. The results can be attributed to the developed
enrichment activities aid with the developed board game as an effective instructional material.

EVALUATION) WRITING PARADIGM

Federico A. Mendoza Jr.

ABSTRACT: Teaching writing is big challenge for an ESL (English as a Second Language) educator. Problems
such language conventions, conforming to the norms of academic writing, objectivity of writing, and
comprehensiveness are the common lapses that students usually commit as they engage themselves into
writing. This study was a humble attempt to address the writing difficulties of students in EAPP (English for
Academic and Professional Purposes) subject by means of applying the SPSE (Situation-Problem-Solution-
Evaluation) Paradigm of Swales and Feak (2012). After the structured writing, an overall improvement of 16.2%
was evident into the writing outputs of the students. Prominently, a good progress on objectivity,
comprehensiveness, and completeness with an improvement of 18%, 17%, and 19% respectively. Thus, it
implied that structured writing is applicable in other core subject in Senior High School for these subjects are
content-based in nature.

Hazelle M. De Guzman, Jessica H. Cabaces & Christopher Rosalio

ABSTRACT: This study is to determine the readiness of Alternative Learning System (ALS) graduates to K to
12 curriculums. Specifically, this study sought to identify the challenges encountered by the ALS graduates in
the K to 12 curriculum and to determine the coping mechanism used by these students to overcome the different
challenges. The study utilized the qualitative –descriptive –thematic synthesis research method utilizing ten (10)
ALS graduates enrolled in Alangilan Senior High School as participants. The study used an interview guide
question as the main instrument in collecting data. The answers of the informant were thoroughly transcribed
and encoded by putting phrases, text and sections of the transcript. Coding matrix was used to classify each
category of the text. As a result, ALS graduates are familiar, prepared and ready in K to 12 curriculum. They
encountered challenges such as difficulty in doing homework, projects and different presentation for most of the
subjects are not in ALS curriculum. For them they were left behind during class discussion particularly in
analyzing and summarizing the lesson. Good and proper time management and avoiding absences are the
strategies to be done to lessen or avoid the challenges faced by the ALS graduate. The study focused only on
the direct experiences of the ALS graduates who are currently enrolled in ASHS. Assessing the readiness of
Alternative Learning System (ALS) graduates through the process of research could be an avenue to assists on
how students further enhance their academic performance and cope with the K-12 Curriculum.

Corazon A. Quintos, Edheson M. Gapad & Rowena F. Panol

ABSTRACT: The declining performance of Filipino students in the national and international science tests for
the last decade has become a major challenge to Philippine education. This problem was attributed by the
Department of Education to students’ poor reading comprehension. The present study utilized the elements of
reading comprehension skills such as understanding vocabulary in context, identifying main ideas, noting details,
making inference, predicting outcomes and drawing conclusion to determine their relationship to students’
performance in science particularly the scientific skills. A total of 216 students belonging to the randomly selected
grade 11 senior high school classes from Narra National High School were taken as sample. The study used a
correlation research design.The students performed at par but low in reading comprehension and scientific skills.
Moreover, it was noted that the reading comprehension skills, which marked 30.18 % belongs to frustration level,
while the scientific skills, with an average of 25.69%, belong to low mastery level. While, the overall performance
of the students in reading comprehension is high and significantly correlated to their scientific skills. Hence, the
poor scientific skills performance could be explained by the poor performance in reading comprehension of the
students.

equip elementary pupils schools with strategic reading and writing skills to make them independent young
readers and writers. At this point in time, the researcher aims to identify the literacy level of Juliano C. Brosasa
Elementary School learners and factors that hinder them to access, understand, analyze and evaluate
information. From the result of the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PHIL-IRI), it was found out that there
are 122 non-readers in the school from among 977 grade 2 to 6 pupils. Moreover, there are many pupils from
Grade 4 to 6 who were not in their current independent level. The result of the study was used as basis in
developing a reading recovery program through IMPACT (Instructional Management by Parents, Community and
Teachers) by addressing the struggling learners through instructional supervision in giving assistance to
teachers, tapping bright pupils, encourage parents and the community to participate in helping them. Through
this program, the school aims to improve the literacy level of the pupils in reading.

ABSTRACT: Reading is a fundamental skill that everyone needs and the foundation for all the academic
learning. Reading is like opening the door of understanding to human’s past, where it can serve as a looking
glass for our present. The researchers determined the effects and the reading abilities on word recognition and
comprehension skills of the identified Grade Four Non–Readers of Perrelos Elementary School–Division of
Carcar City as basis for reading enhancement program. A descriptive survey method and informal interview were
used in the conduct of the study. A school–based reading assessment tool was administered during the pre–
test and post–test which focuses on word recognition and comprehension skills. The results revealed that the
performance of the pupils during the pre–test were all considered as “non–readers” and the performance of some
pupils in the post–test were “slow” and “average”. Moreover, there were lots of factors of learning that greatly
affects the amount of learning or level of academic performance of learners in school based on the survey and
interview conducted. There was also a great need to address on the essentialities of the different strategies that
would enhance reading proficiency. Based on the findings, the reading enhancement program is of great help in
improving the reading gaps of the learners.

AT HOME

Orven Francis G. De Pedro

ABSTRACT: This paper specifically aims to investigate the quality of support given to the struggling readers
with regard to development of their reading skill. This paper utilizes qualitative research design using interview
with the selected struggling readers and with their parents. The qualitative data were analyzed based on how do
parents extend help to these learners in improving their reading skills. The study reveals that most of the
struggling readers receive less attention at home when it comes to reading session. Moreover, only few have
been informed or aware that their children have problems in reading. Their educational attainment, work
schedule, knowledge in dealing with this problem are the common reasons for very minimal attention given to
their children. Likewise, the study reveals that no follow up session done at home. The study does not cover the
reading ability and status of the struggling readers. Likewise, this result of the study implies the need to equip
the parents with the strategies that can help the learners read. The study analyzes the reading problem using
different lens of investigation. This time, extent of home support is analyzed instead of leaners’ miscues or
reading problems.

Keywords: home, reading, struggling readers.

REBOOTING ESL CLASSROOM VIA TECHNOLOGY-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

(TBIMS): INPUT

Adelaido P. Pinawin

ABSTRACT: For learners to acquire language, meaningful communicative opportunities for negotiation and
interaction are needed (Beckett, 1999; Swain, 1995; Kern &Warschauer, 2000). Likewise, the integration of
instructional materials (IMs) augments the stimulation of ideas for classroom activities (Cunnigsworth, 1995;
Dudley-Evans & St.John, 1998). Hence, this paper aimed to reboot the ESL Classroom via technology-based
instructional materials (TBIMs). Specifically, it sought answers to the following objectives: (1) identify the TBIMs
in ESL classrooms; (2) determine the problems encountered on TBIMs; (3) present the implications of TBIMs;
and (4) propose augmentation on TBIMs. The descriptive type of research and the stratified random sampling
technique were employed. Respondents were drawn from the senior high school students of Grade 11 enrolled
in English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP) during first semester of school year 2017-2018, and
five (5) English Language Teachers at San Francisco B National High School, Lopez, Quezon. The collection of
data was accomplished through: (1) administration of a modified questionnaire on TBIMs and (2) conduct of a
follow-up interview on the encountered problems and implications of TBIMs. The findings revealed that
respondents have an unenthusiastic perception on the feasibility/effectiveness of TBIMs to supplement the
teaching and learning of the language. Nevertheless, the findings showed more affirmative viewpoints that TBIMs
had somehow increased their level of interest in English and boot up the ESL classroom as well. Even though
TBIMs remained insufficient and usually unavailable, the researcher still considered the returns of being equipped
with knowledge and gadgets. But still, in order to employ TBIMs in supplementing the English language teaching
and learning, auxiliary and in-depth discussions and scrutiny about the applicability of TBIMs have to be made.
A very short course or workshop (technology-based teaching and learning camp) is suggested to ESL teachers
in order to help them increase knowledge in TBIMs and to create a link between the virtual world and the real
world among the students.

Keywords: instructional materials development, virtual learning, teaching and learning, English as a second
language, English for academic and professional purposes.

RECEPTIVITY TO RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION IN THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY

SCHOOLS IN THE DIVISION OF BACOOR CITY FOR SY 2019-20

Mercedes SJ. Pilar

ABSTRACT: The study sought to analyse the relationship of respondent’s profile and receptivity of school heads
to RTI in the public elementary and secondary schools in the Division of Bacoor City. The research design used
was descriptive-correlational method. The results demonstrated that school practice, instructional philosophy,
attitude, personal experience, practice/action are indicators for the receptivity to RTI that revealed positive or
negative relationships among the independent variables. Hence, receptivity to RTI varied. Although the research
has reached its aim, the study was conducted only on a small size of population who were conducting RTI in the
public elementary and secondary schools in the Division of Bacoor City. To generalize the results for large
groups, the study should have involved more participants from different divisions in CALABARZON. The results
support the need for further study in the area of students’ progress monitoring and evaluation of the receptivity
of RTI in every school. Principals' role is critical in successfully establishing an RTI model emphasizing on staff
development, effective academic intervention, and student progress monitoring.

STUDENTS IN AN ESL CLASSROOM

Edith Alday Lindog

ABSTRACT: The researcher used a descriptive qualitative approach using PVM or photovoice method as a
process to help the learners find out, present, and help enhance their community through a specific photographic
technique in gathering photos. The learners’ output will undergo different stages of writing process as PVM uses
pictures as a tool to analyze problems by posing meaningful in a community to find actionable solutions. Wang
and Burris (1997) present the idea on PVM as it also serves as the framework of her study in teaching Creative
Writing (Non – fiction) for SHS Grade 12 learners applying PVM as an added method for teaching. Based in the
production of knowledge, photovoice as a method has important goals such as 1) to capture and reflect their
community's strengths and concerns applying knowledge and skills in writing, 2) promote knowledge about
important issues through cooperative learning in a large and small group discussion of photographs, and (3) to
reach policymakers on situations where social change could be improved. She concludes that through
photovoice, learners were able to write through their experiences, feelings and emotions on what they perceived
or on what clearly visualized. These photos captured the learners’ interest to write and the feelings of being
involve in the community helps a lot in making learners become creative writers.

REFINING COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS THROUGH REFORMATIVE LANGUAGE STRATAGEM:

A TEST OF EFFICACY AND SIGNIFICANCE

Menchie M. Cepillo & Josephine A. Agdan

ABSTRACT: Despite the numerous interventions delivered to students it is a sad fact that the problem to improve
the quality of education still existed. As SHS program began, its vision to develop globally competitive individuals
academically and technically is still far from reality. Developing effective communication skills still ranks first
among the causes of failure to be hired in a job. For this study believes in the vital role of mastering the basics
and life and career skills, it aims to test the effectiveness of the researcher-crafted remediation materials in
English towards improving communication skills of Home Economics learners. The study used the mixed
methods of research, wherein descriptive-qualitative research was utilized in evaluating the module, while
quantitative research determined its effectiveness through the pre-test and post test results among Grade 12
Home Economics learners. After the rigid implementation and utilization of the remediation materials,
communication skills of the respondents marked a significant improvement as evident in their mean scores with
8.07 mean increase. Since the module consists of basic lessons, it is recommended for enrichment drills, take-
home activities or independent-learning to support classroom instruction towards mastery. With the data
gathered, this study would contribute to realization of DepEd’s vision and could inspire others to design more
improved instructional materials in other skills.

SCHOOL STUDENTS

John Roldan C. Dimaano, Pia C. Arroyo, & Angelica Lyn A. Mendoza

ABSTRACT: Helping students understand better in the classroom is one of the primary concerns of every
teacher. Teachers need to motivate students how to learn. Furthermore, teachers need to vary teaching styles
and techniques so as not to cause boredom to the students in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to
assess and determine the relationships of Teaching Sytles and Students’ Motivation in Science classes. The
researchers followed a descriptive research design and by utilizing random sampling, junior high school students
from different grade levels were the respondents of the study. Each of the 600 respondents was taught using
varied teaching styles of their respective Science Teachers during the first quarter period. Data were gathered
from the respondents using a purposively designed five-point likert scale survey questionnaires. The statistical
tools used were Frequency count and Percentage distribution, the Mean and Standard Deviation (SD) and
Spearman correlation. It was found out that each of the four criteria of Students’ Motivation namely: Attitude
(r=0.975), Participation (r=0.971), Activities (r=0.969) and Grades (0.976) has a very high positive correlation
with the Teaching Styles. The research is heuristic with the objectives of pinpointing teaching style
characteristics, operationally defining these characteristics so that they can be observed and measured.
Utilizing these classroom “styles” in creating and/or maintaining intrinsic motivation for the students is highly
recommended to all subject teachers to improve academic performance.

RETENTION INTERVENTION PROGRAM BASED ON THE PERCEPTIONS OF CLASS

ADVISERS OF AGUADO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Olive R. Erni, Marie Millardeth B. Perido & Dr. Herminia E. Diloy

ABSTRACT: The researchers conducted this research upon evaluation of the LIS report where there was an
average of 3.65% retention rate for the population of 2, 300 grades 1-6 pupils. It aimed to design an intervention
to reduce if not totally diminish grade retention. Purposive sampling and saturation of the population and
descriptive method was employed. Pupils with record of retention were identified thru the LIS. Afterwards, a
quantitative data gathering through self-made instrument was done to gather the perspective of the class
advisers. Weighted mean was employed to determine the level of relevance of factors affecting grade retention.
The t-test was used to determine if there is significant difference in the academic performance of struggling
students who were retained and those struggling students who were promoted. It was revealed that participants
look at factors other than academic ability when recommending retention. It was found out that retention can be
effective for some individuals, while ineffective for others. Hence, effectiveness of retention must be looked at on
an individual basis. This research uncovered the perceptions of the Class Advisers on grade retention among
the grades 4 -6 pupils of Aguado Elementary School. This study focused on the factors that affect the retention
rate of Aguado Elementary School. The data collection was conducted among class advisers of the participants
since they are the ones who supervise and monitor the academic progress of the pupils. It was used to design
an intervention.

REVIEW, PRACTICE, AND EXECUTE APPROACH IN TEACHING STATISTICS AND

PROBABILITY AMONG GRADE 11 SENIORHIGH SCHOOL
LEARNERSIN FERNANDO AIR BASE INHS

Jamie Lyn D. Canlas

ABSTRACT: One of the problems of Mathematics teachers is on how they will help students learn Statistics and
Probability.The researcher investigated how review, practice and execute approach may be applied in the
delivery of the topics. The study used the descriptive method of research to analyze the learning of the learners
in statistics and probability before and after the investigations. The results showed learning does not happened
overnight and does not built on prior knowledge which simply means that learners need to review for the next
meeting. These findings implied that learners must be encouraged to practice from what they have obtained
during the class discussion. Learners should be evaluated before the actual lesson and be assessed after the
class discussion for the teacher to monitor if there is any progress after the intervention has been applied. The
study also showed that learners are competent in the lessons that they have in Statistics and Probability. For this
reason, learners should then practice what they’ve learned during the class discussion. Lastly, the study also
enumerated the activities that may be proposed with relation to the RPE approach in the teaching of Statistics
and Probability. This study focused only to 32 grade 11 senior high school learners of Fernando Air Base
Integrated National High School who took up statistics and probability subject. A new teaching approach was
employed in this study.

Myleen L. Lalamunan

ABSTRACT: The study focused on the learning experiences of Grade One pupils, which included their attitudes,
feelings and emotions during Mathematics time and found out how these affect their performance. The study had
8 grade one pupils/participants from Inosloban-Marawoy Elementary School for the SY 2018-2019 whom were
purposively selected. The researcher utilized a qualitative research. The data gathered were transcribed,
clustered, categorized and explicated. Further, all data and information gathered were treated with utmost
confidentiality. The study presented the results and discussion which dealt with the analysis and interpretation of
the gathered data from the transcribed responses of the research participants. It was deduced from the themes
that even the participants were having difficulties in learning the concepts in math, still they were very positive to
learn Math. But they need explicit type of instruction and more individual activities be carried out. Further, given
the transcribed responses of the parents, it can be deduced that; some of the math lessons in school were not
intensified at home and lacked of study time among their children was also highlighted. To address this issue,
an intervention package in Mathematics Grade One was developed. This learning package is named Project
MATALINO (Mathematics Activities enhancing Learning and skills through Innovative Interventions Overload).
This learning package is composed of tiered learning materials/ activities for pupils who have unmastered skills.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Aireen V. Ramos

ABSTRACT: The researcher was motivated to conduct this study to strengthen pupil’s engagement in
Cawongan Elementary School through determining the teacher’s attitude on reward system in the classroom .
Students who are not motivated and inactive will not learn effectively thus creating hindrance in effective teaching-
learning process. They won’t retain information, they won’t participate and some of them may even become
disruptive. The quantitative type of research was used in the study to find out the teacher's perception about
rewards system used in classrooms with 14 teachers as respondents. The survey questionnaire was designed
to measure the extent to which teachers agree or disagree with statements from the research. Based on the
collected data, findings revealed that extrinsic rewards such as small tangibles items, certificates and ribbons
were rated the most used and the most effective means of rewarding pupils. 80% of teachers with 5-20 years of
teaching experience agreed that using rewards increase student participation and developing academic success.
Thus based on the findings, a proposed intervention including recognizing student active participation through a
reward system and awarding of ribbon and certificates was developed to strengthen pupils engagement in
Cawongan Elementary School.

INCREASED LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION

May-Ann E. Caponpon & Delon A. Ching, Ed. D.

ABSTRACT: Learning in the classroom requires outcome that serves as evidence of acquiring knowledge,
however, when students are exposed to collaborative work, not all members participate in the task provided. This
research highlights the influence of rotational roles on product-based performances on the increased level of
participation of the students. One section of Grade 7 students who were the selected 50 cluster-sampled were
exposed to the collaborative learning condition of rotational roles through pretest and posttest experimental
research design. A survey instrument is also utilized to measure the level of participation of the students in doing
tasks in TLE. The result shows that the students were observed and assessed with a high level of participation
that allows them to engage well in doing all the tasks in cookery. Their high level of participation helps them attain
high performing individuals who can work with less supervision in cooking several dishes. The study is limited in
the product-based performances of the students in different egg preparations/ dishes. Their performances were
assessed through rubrics set by the teacher. Usual collaborative learning approach allows students to work in a
group with simple roles assigned to each member. In this study, it demonstrates additional mechanics of daily
rotation of roles to all members so that everybody will experience working what others have thought. This led to
increased participation of the students for better performances in cookery.

SCHOOL, PERSONAL AND FAMILIAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS AT RISK WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES: BASIS FOR
DESIGNING A
SUPPORTIVE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT

Susan Tan Aparejo, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: This study endeavored to find out the relations of self-efficacy, self-esteem, multiple intelligences
and parents and teachers’ involvement of high school students at risk with learning disability to academic
performance to design a support classroom environment for these students. The research design was descriptive
using cross tabulation technique. The study was conducted at GCCNHS, Gingoog City. The respondents of the
study involved the thirty four (34) students at risk with LD. Five ( 5 ) sets of questionnaires were being
administered to gather the needed data and obtained Pearson Product Moment of Correlation for Self efficacy
Scale (.82), Barksdale Self-esteem Evaluation Index (.92), Multiple Intelligence Developmental Assessment
(.91), Parent Involvement Checklist (.89) and Identifying LD (.87) correlation. The statistical tools used were
frequency, percentage, weighted mean and cross tabulation analysis. The findings revealed there was a
negligible influence between academic performance and general self-efficacy, between social self-efficacy and
academic performance and between multiple intelligences and academic performance too. The general self-
efficacy and social self-efficacy, self-esteem, multiple intelligences do not significantly affect the academic
performance of the students it is because of Remedial Reading Program, teachers’ treatment and attitude, and
students coping mechanism to accept their incapacities and exceptionalities amidst criticism and labeling. While
there is a low influence between parents involvement and general self-efficacy and between parent involvement
and multiple intelligences, the kind of parental involvement for the students do not affect the social self-efficacy,
self-esteem, and academic performance of the students. With the right interventions in reading and with parents,
teachers and administrators’ support, these children with LD can succeed in their lives and become worthwhile
persons in the community and country as a whole.

ABSTRACT: Scientific teaching is a pedagogical approach used in a science classroom whereby teaching and
learning is approached with the same rigor as science itself. Scientific teaching involves active learning strategies
to engage students in the process of science and teaching methods that have been systematically tested and
shown to reach diverse students. The researcher believes that active learning isprocess in which students are
actively engaged in learning. It may include inquiry-based learning, cooperative learning, or student-centered
learning. This study aimed to determine the needs in Science of Grade Six pupils of Balaytigue Elementary
School to come up with a supplemental intervention material in Science 6. To attain the objectives of this study,
the research sought the needs in Science of Grade Six pupils of Balaytigue Elementary School and their
perception regarding the science materials that catch their attention. The researcher used the descriptive method
to realize the objectives of this study. There were 40 Grade Six pupils who were chosen using the purposive
sampling technique. The main data gathering tool used was the questionnaire. It was revealed in the results
that among the needs of Grade Six pupils in Science, interesting and attention-getter instructional materials were
preferred. Teaching pedagogies that served to sustain the momentum of pupils were also needed. The pupils
were also interested in making or creating scrapbooks which they can decorate. They were also very much
motivated to do their own works all by themselves as their teacher model the material/project.

Wins Marian C. Dela Cruz

ABSTRACT: This study sought to investigate the science process skills through multimodal digital literacy in
General Biology 2 students enrolled in the Science and Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
Strand. This research study will use the mixed method of qualitative and quantitative research. In qualitative
research, triangulation will be used in order to investigate the science process skills. True – experimental will be
used to employ the pretest-posttest control group design in order to determine the effectiveness of the multimodal
digital literacy instructional material in General Biology 2. Students need to improve more on demonstrating their
science process skills as it is revealed in their unclear views about each of the skills, give only basic examples,
and interchangeably using the concepts to represent the skills. A multimodal digital literacy instructional material
has been designed to enrich the science process skills among the respondents. Students in the control and
experimental groups have the relatively similar background knowledge and ability level in General Biology 2. The
students exposed to multimodal digital literacy instructional material performed better than those taught using
the conventional strategy. Students experience technology-based and teacher-assistive instruction, and the
unique learning tool features upon using multimodal digital literacy instructional material. Students may be
explicitly taught the science process skills for them to use in Science classrooms, laboratory experiments, and
even in practical applications. The multimodal digital literacy instructional material may be further tested for its
effectiveness through true experimental research method. This study aimed to enriching the science process
skills of students in integrating Multimodal Digital Literacy Instructional Material in classroom instruction.

SCIENCE VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT, A TOOL IN IMPROVING ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE OF GRADE IV PUPILS OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL

Nancy F. Amante, Annelie M. Palomado

ABSTRACT: Scientific literacy is truly essential to the learners for this may involve applied knowledge that they
may use in their daily life. In order to attain knowledge and mastery in Science, there must be a keen
understanding of science vocabulary. If we speak about mastery of the lesson taught, there must be a well-
developed textual comprehension and that can be achieved in Science vocabulary development. Pupils enter
school with gaps in vocabulary, and the gap continues to widen over the years as texts become more complex
and as vocabulary knowledge becomes a more critical determinant of successful comprehension (Coyne,
McCoach, & Kapp, 2007). This study aims to determine how well the pupil’s vocabulary skill in Science would be
developed and what are best authentic interventions used to address the need in vocabulary development in
Science class of Grade Four pupils. The results indicate the progress shown by the pupils in their Science class
as taken from the Learning Oriented Assessment (LOA) and the average grades attained by the pupils during
the end of the school year. On this basis, the strategies to be utilized in developing Science vocabulary are
humbly recommended by the researchers. Mechanics of activities were further explained in this research.

Jennifer M. Oestar, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: To determine the self-management strategies of consistent honor students and to recount their
live experiences that contributed to their academic success. This research used qualitative method employing
phenomenological study whose data primarily gathered through semi-structured interview. The researcher
purposively chose 12 grade ten students who were consistent honor students since grade 7. Data were analyzed,
coded, and interpreted through patterns/themes. The respondents have been consistent honor students due to
the following self-management strategies: strict time management and study habits, motivation from family,
determination to end up poverty, and willingness to extend help to others. However, factors that hinder them in
their studies include lack of access to learning materials and other financial support and resources. As a result,
participants drafted PROJECT HOPE and suggested plan of actions to sustain the project. Ways of addressing
problems of having self-management are more interesting and realistic when participants shared their personal
motivation, and experiences and served as inspiration to fellow students. The responses of the interviewees
serve as a basis for the development of Project HOPE and a plan of action in addressing students with problems
self-management specially to provide assistance to students at-risk.

Gemmar Anthony F. Guimba

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to determine the significant relationship between self-regulated learning
and academic performance among Grade12 Humanities and Social Sciences students during the 1st quarter of
1st semester SY 2019-2020. The researcher developed the instrument Self-Regulated Learning Scale validated
by experts and pilot tested to establish its validity and reliability. Total enumeration was used in sampling
procedure however, out of 195 population of Grade 12 HUMSS only 147 students voluntarily participated in the
study. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to analyze data through SPSS. The result reveals that
Self-Regulated Learning (x̅=3.79; SD=.499) which means that they were self-regulated while the Academic
Performance (x̅=86.59; SD=4.88) which is very satisfactory. The result also shows a low positive linear correlation
of .438 between self-regulated learning and academic performance with a p value of .001 which rejects the null
hypothesis. The result may help in developing learners to become independent in their study. Thus, it may serve
as significant innovation in policy and strategic planning for continuous improvement plan of the school through
effective collaboration between internal and external stakeholders. This study may be replicated by other schools
as best practices and it may be presented during the institutional, regional or any national or international
conferences to disseminate this information that may help teachers, stakeholders, school heads and school
administrators. Self-regulation must be instilled to the minds of senior high students for them to become
independent and proactive academic excellence but also in real-life situations. The results may be used as basis
for school best practices.

ABSTRACT: The study conducts at Pantalan Senior High School which focuses in enhancing the work
immersion program. One of the goals of the K to 12 Basic Education Program is to develop in learners the
competencies, work ethic, and values relevant to pursuing further education and/or joining the world of work. To
achieve congruence between basic education and the nation’s development targets, Work immersion, a required
subject, has been incorporated into the curriculum. This will provide the learners with opportunities to become
familiar with the work place, to simulate employment and to apply their competencies in authentic work
environments, to be able to develop wellness of the PSHS students in making oneself in work simulation, and to
share best practices in social-interaction as well as in a work place as an individual. This study aims to determine
the enhancement of work immersion program which can provides opportunities to the students which relevant
skills by performing in actual work setting. It helps the students to acquire knowledge and experience which can
help them grow as professional individuals. Hence, there are issues that this work immersion program might take
danger to the students. Since they are just minors and have the consent of their parents. The PSHS ensures that
the place of work learning are safe and fit for the students. It uses descriptive method of research with
questionnaire as the main data-gathering instrument. A total of 50 students chooses as participants of the study.
For the interpretation, the researcher uses frequency, percentage and weighted mean. The study concludes that
there is no significance relationship between the participants and enhancing the works immersion program at
Pantalan Senior High School when group according to their profile variables. The researcher recommends that
the students of PSHS will be well-informed about the significance and or the important things to do when
conducting a Work Immersion Program. They meet the expectations of the partners and at the end of Work
Immersion Program, the skills of the students of PSHS are thoroughly enhanced.

ASSESSMENT

Rempson P. Sumilang, Regicelle D. Cabaysa, Fiona Alea A. Labios

ABSTRACT: To enhance the students’ vocabulary through authentic assessment which supports long-term
vocabulary retention. A descriptive method of research was utilized through a scoring rubric. A total of eighteen
(18) Grade 11 - ABM students served as the respondents. There were two authentic assessment tools used
which were administered in four consecutive weeks. The first tool had four (4) sets such as Authentic Assessment
1.1 – (Assertive – Gregarious), Authentic Assessment 1.2 – (Hilarious –Necessity), Authentic Assessment 1.3 –
(Obstacle – Thrifty) and Authentic Assessment 1.4 – (Unify – Zealous). While the second tool was an output
where in at least ten words had to be used by them. The results revealed that authentic assessment can improve
students’ vocabulary competence since they were able to construct sentences clearly and coherently to the main
vocabulary words as well as use vocabulary words in sentences logically and relevantly. Through authentic
assessment, retention of vocabulary words would be long-term unlike the traditional multiple-choice, fill-in-the-
blank or matching task which are shallow metrics of possible word knowledge. Vocabulary authentic assessment
through a localized material promotes long-term retention of vocabulary which requires critical thinking and
creative applications necessary for the 21st century learners.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop nutritional cookies using different amounts of saba banana peel flour
(BPF) (30%, 50%, 70% and 100%) and determine its sensory acceptance and nutritional value through proximate
analysis, mineral content and phytochemical screening. 40 students from Castor Alviar National High School
were the respondents for this study. The sensorial analysis showed that the 100% all-purpose flour (APF)
formulation obtained the highest mean score for appearance, while the 70% BPF: 30%APF formulation obtained
the highest mean score for aroma, texture and taste and general acceptability. The proximate analysis showed
high levels of moisture, ash, crude fiber, crude fat and crude protein. High amounts of Phosphorous, Potassium,
and Calcium was also found, and the phytochemical screening showed the presence of sterols, triterpenes,
flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, glycosides and tannins. The study only focused on the sensorial and chemical
analysis and could further be used to determine possible long-term use in children’s diets. Malnutrition is a big
problem in the Philippines and the lack of proper nutrition among students negatively affect their physical and
mental development. Saba is a very popular variety of banana in the Philippines and the peels that are discarded
have great potential for new food discoveries.

Allan S. Dagong

ABSTRACT: The objective of the action research is to develop a protractor that has a simpler design to help
the learners in their struggles in measuring degrees in a clockwise and counter clockwise direction. The
researcher utilized the experimental design focusing on Pre-test and Post-test. All types of angles with the
exception of the reflex angle and full circle can be measured using the semi-circle protractor. Learned students
can get the measure of the reflex angle by measuring the smaller angle and subtracting it from the measurement
of the full circle, a complex process for some learners. Learners can measure reflex angle illustrations in a
counter-clockwise and clockwise direction using the available circular protractors but the dual degree markings
that are on the obverse part of the protractor creates confusion. The use of the developed simplified reversible
circular protractor helped the learners in measuring the degree of angles in any direction. This study is limited to
the results gathered from grade 5 students of Sto. Niño Elementary School. The developed tool, Simplified
Reversible Circular Protractor, is undergoing the process of utility model registration at the Intellectual Property
Office. Utility Model, Intellectual Property Office, Simplified Reversible Circular Protractor

group discussion and descriptive method was observed in this study that attests how Sinama Language Training
can help teachers in achieving their goals to teach their IP learners in a more effective way. The quantitative
research techniques were used to rate the teachers’ perception in considering this training as advancement
program under Indigenous Education. Based on the gathered answers from the questionnaire the researcher
found out that the teacher respondents in this study were 1 male and 6 females. The key to success teaching
this group of learners is to nurture a positive sense of identity, to engage positive community leadership and to
nurture high expectations relationships among indigenous learners through breaking barriers in communication.
Students need to have an inclusive culture in the classroom that is an infusion of their ways of knowing and their
culture within curriculum and lesson plans. Educators must be aware of the benefits each learner can get when
they know how to communicate to his/her first language. In proving that Sinama Language Training can help
teachers in teaching Indigenous learners, the data covered are limited to the responses of 7 IPEd teachers of
Malitam Elementary School. The researcher also requests for an approval to collect data about Sinama words
and common greetings. The researcher is aware that respect for the dignity of research participants should be
prioritized. Full consent was obtained from the participants prior to the study. Confidentiality of the research data
was also ensured. The researcher formulated an action plan and this research study to address the problem to
meet their teaching goals.

SOCIAL LOAFING: AN EFFECTIVE TEACHING STRATEGY

Mary Rose C. Matibag

ABSTRACT: The popularity of cooperative learning as one of the strategies used in learner centered teaching
has brought the attention of researchers to the social phenomenon called social loafing—the tendency of some
group members to leave the responsibility of accomplishing the group tasks to the other members of the group.
Critics of cooperative learning claim that social loafing is a real problem in the classroom that tends to be
overshadowed by the benefits derived from using the cooperative learning strategy. Thus, this action research is
an attempt to investigate if the phenomenon called social loafing or free riding really exists in high school
classrooms, and if it does exist, what strategies can be used to reduce the occurrence of social loafing or free-
riding. Specifically, this study would like to answer the following questions: what is the students’ perception of
group work, are the students aware of social loafing whenever they work in groups, what is their perception
regarding the giving of similar grades to member of each group and which strategies will reduce social loafing in
the classroom? Hence, this study-which aimed to investigate if social loafing really occurs in the high school
classroom, and if it does, what strategies would help in reducing social loafing in high school classroom— was
conceptualized.

SPECIALIZED MATHEMATICS WORKSHEETS: A TOOL IN ASSISTING STUDENTS

STRUGGLING WITH MATHEMATICS

Nelson B. Sepato, Marina B. Villariña & Krizzette Anne S. Manuel

ABSTRACT: There is an alarmingly increase in the number of Grade 7 population whose numeracy test result
categorized them as non-numerates. Various Mathematics interventions were implemented to address this
concern, but none seemed to be successful. The program applied the individualized learning style concept were
the facilitator of learning assess the learning styles of each student and adapt a method that best fit each student’s
learning style. Generally, there were three kinds of specialized worksheet. The first one was used before the
discussion utilizing the discovery approach. The second, was during discussion which highlights the individual
learning style, and lastly, the evaluation worksheet which is learner-focused and in accordance to the level of
understanding they showed during the teaching-learning process. Also, the content, layout, presentation and
even color differs individually. Improvements in the result of post-assessment were clearly visible. These
specialized Mathematics worksheets not only offered students with variety of ways on how the four fundamental
operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, can easily be learned, it also helped students to be
organized, to manage their time well, and to learn in their own phase. Those who were part of the intervention
classes showed major improvements in their studies. It is not just learning the fundamental operations in
Mathematics, but also putting in great respect in their individuality. The results showed that learners have different
styles of learning and this fact was already known to us through different approaches and pedagogies we tried
to apply for the past years. Let us not try to overlook this simple idea of giving them what they could take and
letting them learn the best way they could. Sometimes, respecting each individual’s style of learning and adapting
to it, is the best way to instill fundamental concepts necessary for lifelong learning.

ABSTRACT: Simulation and games has been used to enhance mental prowess of students as early as 1600
with the main purpose of improving strategic planning of armies and navies. In this study, the researcher used
an intellectual game as a tool to improve student’s numeracy. Experimental method is utilized in this study.
Twenty students with the same numeracy scores were selected for the study. Out of these, ten students were
introduced to the Rubik’s Cube and taught to solve it over a period of one month. A numeracy test was conducted
for these twenty students after the duration to observe the difference in the scoring pattern between those who
mastered the cube and those who have not. Pretest shows that the experimental and control group has a very
close mean and standard deviation with means of 26 and 25.8 and standard deviations of 3.13 and 3.08
respectively. Post-test shows that there is a greater increase in the numeracy of the experimental group with
26% gain as compared with the control group with only 10% numeracy increase. The study limited the
respondents to twenty G7 students, to focus on teaching the experimental group of the process and techniques
in solving the Rubik’s cube. The main contribution of the study is the application of speedcubing in Batangas
National High School students in enhancing numeracy.

ABSTRACT: This study was concerned with the assessment of the Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) in
“Eclipse Bares All” developed by the researcher as a Strategic Material to raise the performance level of low
performing 50, Grade 7 Students of Sta. Lucia High School, enrolled in Science, during the school year 2016-
2017, and underwent remedial class too. Their least mastered skills in the topic eclipses included: explaining the
occurrence of eclipses; giving their definition; their different types; and distinguishing superstitious belief from
scientific basis. Their pretest mean score shows low mastery, while their post mean score yields average
mastery. A significant difference exists between the performances in the pretest mean score and the posttest
mean score. They assessed the SIM in areas of objectives, procedures, language and style, materials, questions,
and application. They moderately agreed that the objectives were congruent to the curriculum guide, stated in
behavioural terms; provided SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time bound) components;
and gave positive learning result. While they have affirmative feedback for the rest of the SIM areas. The
researcher recommended and proposed the following: Identify the areas for enhancement in the use of SIM and
consider using it to improve students’ performance on difficult topics in Science and other subject areas; to
strengthen their least mastered competencies too. Have a similar study conducted covering different
respondents from other schools in one division.Moreover it was also suggested that administrators should
implement and train all the teachers in creating SIM for every division.

records in the first and second quarters. To measure respondents' performance, pre-test and posttest were
administered before and after the utilization of SIM-Mod. t-test was employed to determine the significant
difference between the mean responses of the participants. Results of the study showed that SIM-Mod was
effective in increasing the mastery level of SARDO in Science. The positive results of survey and the significant
difference between the pre-test and posttest suggested that the SIM-Mod was appreciated by the respondents.
The results of the study were constrained to the locality where the study was conducted. To protect the rights of
the respondents, their responses to survey questions were treated with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. The
research was heuristic because the learners experienced different hands-on activities to improve their learning
proficiency in Science.

STRATEGIC INTERVENTION MATERIALS IN ENHANCING THE TEST SCORES IN SCIENCE OF

THE GRADE V PUPILS

Helen E. Jamandron

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Strategic Intervention Materials (SIMs) in
enhancing science test scores of the grade V pupils through experimental method. The researcher made SIMs
were validated by the Division Science Supervisor. These SIMs were on the two least-learned topics : The Human
Reproductive System and Classifying Vertebrates. The respondents of this study were 109 pupils from four of
the ten sections of grade V of Bayawan City East Central School. There were 48 pupils for the first SIM- The
Human Reproductive System and 61 pupils for the second SIM- Classifying Vertebrates. All of the respondents
were the pupils who failed to master the proficiency level of 75% after the teacher delivered the lesson. The
learners were randomly divided into control and experimental groups and were given pretest and posttest. Result
showed that for SIM1-Human Reproductive System, the average increased in MPS for the control group was
24.31 while the experimental group was 34.69. For SIM2-Classifying Vertebrates, the average increased in MPS
for the control group was 22.64 while experimental group average MPS increased was 30.35. When the data
were analyzed using t-test (5), a significant difference was found between control and experimental groups in
both SIMs. Therefore, the use of Strategic Intervention Materials (SIMs) in enhancing test scores for remediation
was very effective compared to the traditional remediation conducted by the teacher. The study then
recommends the utilization of the SIMs as remediation tools to improve the test scores of low performing pupils.

STRENGTHENING EARLY LANGUAGE, LITERACY AND NUMERACY (ELLN) PROGRAM

THROUGH PROJECT MARFE (MAKING READING FUN AND ENJOYABLE)

Mary Rose V. Ramos, Carmelita M. Mabituin & Rosalinda I. Toledo

ABSTRACT: Early Language Literacy and Numeracy Program aims to improve reading and numeracy skills of
Kinder to Grade 3 pupils, following K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum and to establish a sustainable and cost-
effective professional development system for teachers. I n DepEd Order No. 12, Series of 2015, the Department
recognizes that the foundation of learning is in a child's early language, literacy, and numeracy skills. This
research study discusses the effects of making reading fun and enjoyable in teaching grade three pupils to
strengthen the implementation of Early Language Literacy and Numeracy Program of the Department of
Education. We found out that the Making Reading Fun and Enjoyable (MARFE) project gave a huge impact in
developing reading skills of pupils and we have concluded through this study that fun has a positive effect on
motivation levels of the pupils, determining what they learn and how much they retain. Learning isn’t a one-off
event. It requires repetition and dedication. If the experience is fun, learners will stay curious and keep coming
back for more. If the learning isn’t fun, it won’t be effective. That’s not just a sneaking suspicion – it’s cold and
hard.

ABSTRACT: Gender awareness and sensitivity is more analytical and critical since it clarifies issues about
gender disparities and gender issues. It pertains to one’s effort to show how gender shapes the role of women
and men in society including their role in development and how it affects relations between them. Bauan
Technical High School recognize education system needs to be gender sensitive and gender friendly. With this,
an analytical study was done to determine the gender sensitive differentiated instructions which purposefully
involved the Senior High School teachers in Bauan Technical High School. Through the use of Tomlinson’s
Techniques for Differentiating Instruction, the study determined the different approaches used by Senior High
School teachers to cater Gender Sensitivity among their classes. Significantly, the study revealed that structures
problem-based learning to have students (of different gender) actively solve problems together, sets seating
arrangement to enhance equal participation of both genders; uses group work which involves both genders; uses
gender neutral languages; and addresses students in both genders equally are the outstanding gender based
differentiated approaches used in the institution. In the end, it recommends to strengthen the highlighted
differentiated instructions as it supports effective classroom management, task equality and freedom of learning.
As an outcome of the study, a program entitled “Buklod: Babae at Lalaki sa aming paaralan” aimed to inspire
students to work together as individuals and as team regardless of gender; encourage teachers to incorporate
gender sensitive activities to make the students’ academic horizons and exploration wider and gain support from
school administration to initiate activities which would enhance gender sensitivity awareness in the classroom
teaching.

CONISLAB

Mansueta Paned Mambiar & Arleen D. Canapi

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a gamified learning platform such as
Contemporary Issues Ladder Board Game (CONISLAB) will be able to help strengthen conceptual and
terminological retention skills of selected Grade 10 students. A 1- group pretest/posttest design using quasi-
experimental method was employed. Findings of the study indicate that there was a significant increase in the
conceptual and terminological retention skills of the learners who participated in the study based on their pretest
and posttest results. A t-value of 4.88 was obtained after the correlated t-test and is significant at 5% level of
significance. The findings also indicated that the learners have achieved different levels of improvement. This
study only involved thirty-five (35) identified SMNHS Grade-10 students who got the lowest scores after the
conduct of the 75-item pretest on the basic concepts and terms in Contemporary Issues. The proponents believe
that a gamified learning platform such as CONISLAB will be able to strengthen the conceptual and terminological
retention skills of students in all grade levels and the highly adaptable, flexible nature of games means that they
can be moulded to suit a variety of learning settings and environments. (Boyle, 2011)

Ayala & Ma. Jreign A. Merle

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research is to provide the school practitioners research-based qualitative data
that are useful in improving classroom instruction.This qualitative exploratory research focused on the struggling
learners’ voice of 12 Handog-Aral sa Tag-Araw and Feeding Program learners. Responses to the interview
conducted by the researchers were carefully transcribed and categorized according to the emerging themes.
These served as the researchers’ basis on drawing implications for the improvement of instruction. Qualitative
data were gathered on May 5 and 11, 2019 at Margarita Subd., Brgy. Pinagbayanan, Pagbilao, Quezon where
the current site of the Handog-Aral sa Tag-araw and Feeding Program (HATFP) is situated. The findings show
that the beneficiaries of Handog-Aral sa Tag-Araw and Feeding Program have their experiences of child labor;
lack of love from parents; lack of love from siblings; low interest in study; and a challenging environment at home.
The results also indicate that they have personal experiences of being fond of leisure; lack of self-discipline; and
having negative perception of selves. Regarding their experiences in the school, the results reveal that the
beneficiaries seek attention from others; have the feeling of not being loved by their teachers; derive happiness
and comfort from school, and meet painful experiences in school. The findings of the study may post a challenge
to school practitioners to be more creative and compassionate in dealing with struggling learners in their schools.
Lessons learned in this study may be taken as eye-opener for every professional teacher whose primary
responsibility is to holistically develop the learners in order to make them productive members of the society.
This exploratory research bears its significance to the improvement of instruction in the public schools in Pagbilao
District I and in other schools in the division.

ABSTRACT: Effective student motivation and learning are primordial requisites for quality education which is
being challenge with students’ apathy. This study aimed to find out the level and causes of students’ apathy as
basis in formulating effective ways or measures to address this dilemma of learners’ learning environment. Using
a descriptive survey method, the study involved 360 respondents from Grades 7, 8 and 9 which were identified
through total enumeration. The mean of students’ second quarter academic performance in each grade level
was determined as well as the profile of students’ apathy toward learning and motivation as baseline data prior
to the intervention. The same process was done for the third quarter in determining the mean of student’s
academic performance and student’s apathy toward motivation and learning after the intervention. The result,
based on third grading performance as well as their level of apathy, revealed a significant difference that marked
a positive impact on the effectiveness of implemented interventions. Thus noted that the higher the apathy the
more it causes students’ learning to decline while the contrary when apathy decreases, students’ learning
increases. Hence, a continuous implementation of intervention along with the additional plan of action was
deemed significant.

ABSTRACT: To identify the perspectives of Grade 11 students on the Department of Education’s Career
Guidance Program for the grade level. A qualitative study method was used in this research through the conduct
of a semi-structured interview with sixteen (16) Grade 11 students who were purposively chosen from the different
strands of Technical-Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) and Academic tracks. The study revealed that students
view CGP as an effective program which helped them choose and affirm a career direction that is suitable to
achieve their personal aspirations. Study findings also showed that students deemed the implementation more
useful if done before their enrollment to SHS. This study raises challenges for the schools’ guidance coordinators
and career advocates to provide students broader exposure to as many career fields as possible, emphasize
career education in Grade 10 and involve actively the parents as part of the career process. This study was
designed to provide career advocates relevant data to make improvements in the present implementation of the
school’s CGP. The research is also considered useful in reducing problems such as skills and job mismatch and
underemployment of SHS graduates.

ABSTRACT: This empirical study brings to limelight the student learning behavior of grade seven
students of Natalia V. Ramos Memorial National High School on their academic performance. The researcher
has made an attempt to study the relationship of academic performance through the use of student's grades
during the first and second grading for the school year 2018-2019 and their learning behavior using Student
Learning Behavior Scale as one of the influential factors in deciding the academic life of the students. This
study used the descriptive method of research where the researcher utilized a self – made questionnaire that
would supplement the data or information needed in the study. The variables considered in this study included
the student’s behavior towards family, friends, school and authority and the student’s academic performance.
The Spearman rho Correlation was used to determine the relationship of students behavior and their academic
performance . The researcher found out that even though learning behavior is a student factor, there are
many other intervening variables which exert an indirect influence on the learning behavior of the students.
It is high time that the educationalists, parents and students focus not only on the learning behavior of the
students but also other variables for the optimal academic achievement of the students. The Action plan as an
output of this study aimed to improve student’s performance among grade seven students of Natalia V. Ramos
Memorial National High School.

Mark Glenn Pasco Celis

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to assess pupil’s absenteeism as basis for crafting modular activities for home
remedial instruction. The subject of the study were the intermediate teachers of the District VI in the Division of
Batangas City. The researcher utilized descriptive research design and simple random sampling in the conduct
of the study. A self-made questionnaire was utilized in data gathering. The researcher used weighted mean and
composite mean as statistical tool. Result of the study revealed that economic status and family background are
the basic reasons why pupils tend to practice absenteeism. Respondents agreed that government programs such
as feeding program and 4p’s help a lot to counter absenteeism. The researcher concluded that intermediate
pupils may be described as to their absences in terms of sex, grade level and economic status. The researcher
experienced time constraints in data gathering. Data used in the study came only from the observation of teachers
rather than from both teachers and learners. The study is heuristic in nature. The output is just a temporary
solution if pupils are not yet qualified to enroll in Alternative Learning System or still prefer to take formal
education.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to identify and assess factors affecting students’ absenteeism in Sta Filomena
Integrated School – Secondary. The study provided recommendations on how to provide intervention on
absentees based on the identified factors. All of selected students were asked to complete a questionnaire. They
rated various situations, reasons, and causes for being absent from school. All the data was then organized,
tallied, tabulated, and presented in a series of tables and graphs. Frequency counts, percentage weight values
and weighted mean were used in the analysis and interpretation of data. As to the percentage, the study revealed
that from the total population of the respondents, factors affecting absenteeism were attributed to physical factors
(15%), personal attitude (26%), teacher related reasons (9%), classroom environment (11%), and Home factors
(22%). The research findings were utilized in another intervention program conducted by the school entitled
PRIME SARDO (Positive Remedial Intervention to Minimize or Eliminate Students at Risk of Dropouts). The said
intervention program significantly decreases droupout rate from 4.99% (2016) to 1.33% (2017). The nature of

STUDENTS’ ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTIONS ON INTERMOLECULAR FORCES (IMF)

Alexander G. Poldo

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine alternative conceptions of students on Intermolecular
Forces (IMF) and the factors contributory to the development of such conceptions. A 15-item researcher-
developed TISAC was administered to 86 Grade XII STEM students of the four schools with STEM offering in
Masbate Province. A total of 50 alternative conceptions were recorded on the topics molecular model and
properties of solids and liquids, types of IMF, properties of water and its molecular structure and IMF, and nature
of phase changes. Interviews with respondents and their teachers revealed that lack of understanding of the
basic concepts, time constraint, poor coverage and single use of language are the factors that contributed to
students having alternative conceptions. Alternative conceptions not recorded due to lack of interest of students
in accomplishing the instrument are outside the scope of this study. The alternative conceptions bank serves as
a reference of the possible false interpretations of students on IMF thus prompting teachers to prevent these
from arising. The bank is a basis for assessment or diagnostic test construction and could be utilized in the
administration of the qualifying exam for STEM students which is currently not required in senior high school.

Meriam D. Galoso

ABSTRACT: Learners tend to forget what they have learned after days, weeks or months. During the review
before the periodical test, teachers have to re-teach the lesson. Thus, the researcher employed Teacher and
Student Initiated Kinaesthetic Comprehension and Repetition (TaSIKCoR) Strategy as a supplemental tool for
retention to determine the effectiveness of this strategy. The study utilized pretest and posttest design in
collecting the data from two groups of Grade three pupils in Tagaytay Elementary School. The researcher used
mean, standard deviation and paired sample t-test in analyzing the data. Results of the study showed that
learners’ retention improved to 85% from 53% after utilizing TaSIKCoR in the pretest and 82% in the posttest
utilizing TaSIKCoR strategy from 18% in the posttest without TaSIKCoR. The findings imply that TaSIKCoR
strategy is an effective supplemental tool in improving the retention of grade three learners. The research entails
collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, communication and flexibility of learners exhibited in their initiation of
actions related to the topic, thus the study taps on the social, creative potentials, intellectual and emotional aspect
of learners, hence, it is holistic and aids in learners’ holistic development.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this descriptive-correlational study is to find out whether a teacher’s homelife
affects her effectiveness. Ten female married teachers from the Grade VI classes and 200 pupils were used as
respondents. Weighted mean, frequency, paired t-test and multiple regression analysis were the statistical tools.
Creating an environment of respect and rapport, Establishing a culture for learning, Managing classroom
procedures and Managing student behavior were the four (4) categories in which these teachers were measured.
The profiles showed that 90% of the teacher - respondents are happily married, 50% have net income of Php.
15,000 or more and 50% of them have enough resources to spend. 50% have three children or more and 80%
are married to the spouse for more than 11 years. Teachers gave a higher self-rating as compared to that of the
pupils indicating a significant difference between both perspectives in teacher effectiveness. Out of the five
predictors, only the number of people aged 18 and over living in the household, gave a significant relationship to
teacher effectiveness having a p-value of 0.028.

TEACHER’S CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK STRATEGIES AND GRAMMATICAL PROFICIENCY

Llanabel A. Patal

ABSTRACT: This study focused on corrective feedback strategies and its effectiveness in improving students’
grammatical proficiency. An experimental design, specifically pretest-posttest design was used in this study
wherein two groups of respondents were matched in age, grade level, sex, and grades. Forty (40) Grade 10
students of Palahanan National High School served as respondents. They were grouped into two- the first group
is exposed to Direct Corrective Feedback strategies and the second group was exposed to Indirect Corrective
Feedback strategies. Based on the results of the study, there is no significant difference between the mean
pretest scores of the students exposed to Direct Corrective Feedback strategies and Indirect Corrective
Feedback strategies when tested at p ≤.05 level of significance in terms of modals, subject-verb agreement,
tenses of the verb, correct usage, and punctuation marks. On the other hand, there is a significant difference
between the mean posttest scores of the two groups when tested at p ≤.05 level of significance. In line with the
level of performance of the two groups, there is no significant difference in the levels of grammatical proficiency
of the students from both groups. Grammar teachers may use both types of corrective feedback strategies to
help improve students' grammatical proficiency. English teachers may consider the use of corrective feedback
strategies in students' written works or even in their performances. Program coordinator may use the data for
further assessment and include it as part of teaching-learning process in all subject areas.

TEACHER’S USE OF POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT SYSTEM AS AN INCLUSIVE APPROACH

AMONG GRADE 8 TEACHERS IN BATANGAS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Analyn P. Tolentino & Maribel Joy Cabral

ABSTRACT: This research is an inquiry on teacher’s experiences on the Positive behavior Support (PBS) Tier
1, developed by Sugai and Horner (2002), as a whole -school Inclusive approach in High School. The
phenomenological study of an implementation of an innovative inclusive classroom approach. 20 Teachers-
respondents answered a paper interview with three questions for qualitative analysis of their experiences in the
use of PBS Tier 1. The Grade 8 teachers defined Positive Behavior support system as an approach to positively
engage students in the classroom and redirect them to productive activities rather than engaging in problem
behavior. The PBS classroom approaches has helped in effective classroom management. PBS has reinforced
also the positive approaches that the teachers have been using before. Positive behavior support is totally a new
experience for some teachers and they need to have sufficient time to explore its principles and implement
approaches to sink in. It has been found out that positive behavior support from leads to better student behavior.
Inclusion among disruptive behavior students is practiced and these students feel the sense of belongingness.
With this study, all learners are likely to benefit when we create a positive learning environment for all students.
We tend to prevent challenges and optimize educational outcomes for those at risk. Positive Behavior Support
(PBS) Tier 1 is an innovative inclusive approach that is beneficial not only for teachers but more importantly for
high school students in diverse classrooms.

Daisy M. Abenojar, Myline A. Dela Cruz & Ramuel I. Bersamin

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the present level of Mathematical skills of the Grade I pupils,
develop a Teacher-made Numeracy Workbook to address the scarcity of the instructional materials in
Mathematics for Grade 1 pupils and to help uplift the present level of Mathematical performance of the Grade I
struggling pupils. The study made use of the single group experimental design. Researchers utilized the Teacher-
made Numeracy Workbook for Grade I with two levels of performances measured using pre-test and post-test
results. This made use of 40 Grade I struggling pupils currently enrolled at San Gabriel II Elementary School.
They were selected through their Mathematics first quarter test result. Findings revealed that after the 3-week
implementation of the intervention program using theTeacher-made Numeracy Workbook for Grade I, the
respondents exhibited significant increase in their Mathematical performance as depicted in their scores in Math
quizzes and 2nd Quarter exam result. Based on the result it was noted thatcolorful, manipulative and mother
tongue- based Teacher-made Numeracy Workbook for Grade I helped in enhancing Math skills of the struggling
pupils. However, there were problems met during the implementation of the 3-week intervention program that
may be improved in the next intervention such as lack of parent support, absenteeism among the pupil-
respondents, and lack of facilities for the conduct of the program. It was limited to the development and testing
ofthe Teacher-made Numeracy Workbook for Grade I. Hence, this study proved that colorful, manipulative and
mother tongue- based Teacher-made Numeracy Workbook for Grade I helped in enhancing Math skills of the
struggling pupils. This study supplemented the shortage of instructional materials in Mathematics for Grade I
pupils.Since theTeacher-made Numeracy Workbook was designed to be colorful, manipulative and appealing to
children and most significantly was anchored in the Grade 1 Teacher’s Guide, the competencies required in the
Grade I curriculum specifically those required for the FirstQuarter was targeted and proven effective.

Noemi Bacarro Cueto

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess teachers and students’ ideals of a good language class
for an effective English Language class program. This was conducted in a 48 randomly selected Grade 9 students
and ten language teachers in Calubcub 1.0 National High School, San Juan, Batangas. The data were gathered
using questionnaires and treated statistically using mean and percentage. Results revealed that teachers and
students have the same ideals of a good language class. Elements such as good language teachers, learners,
lessons, textbooks and classrooms comprise a good language class. There is no significant difference in their
perceptions and no significant relationship between their profile and perceptions towards good language class.
Competencies should be used in English language communication skills.. Students should be encouraged to
participate actively in class. School administrators and teachers should strengthen the five contributing elements
in attaining challenging, engaging and productive language class which enhance and develop students’ English
speaking skills. Teachers and students understood that in a good language class, five elements must be present
– good language teachers, learners, lessons, textbooks and classrooms.

TEACHERS’ COLLABORATION (TEACO) ON UTILIZING PHILIPPINE PROFESSIONAL

STANDARS IN TEACHING MODULES

Jane K. Perez, Maribel C. Perez & Jayson A. Quinto

ABSTRACT: Collaboration of Teachers is a research study which focuses on the application of DepED Order 42, s.
2017. This was design to align teachers to the Philippine Professional Standards of Teaching, and increase their
performance of duty which leads to the attainment of national goal. All the 14 teachers of Demesa Elementary School
underwent TeaCo in 3 quarters. Before teachers execute a demonstration lesson for classroom observation they
should be with the collaborating group (a diversity of members with different skills relevant to the 9 indicators), to equip
teachers with the necessities of classroom observation Tool. Result of each observation was collected and average to
determine the level of teachers’ performance. Leveling of average was done every quarter to identify the frequency of
each level. Comparing the average score of first observation to the post observation arrived into difference of score
using t – test of two sample of equal variance to measure its effectiveness to teachers. The application of TeaCo in the
second to the last classroom observation has a great effect in teachers performance evident to the scores in t – test
used, the mean of the first observation (4.07) compared to the last observation (7) tell a difference of 2% . This action
research increases teachers performance and boost their confidence to face the observation class and do their best in
demonstration, therefore infecting pupils mind with nutritious information relevant and aligned to PPST Modules. This
envisions, through continuous teaching practices and daily lesson aligned to PPST is a religious practice and increases
pupils’ academic performance. The implementation of PPST was too novice to teachers which leads most teachers in
confusion some does not make any improvement in traditional method and some have different implementation
unguided by the PPST modules. Through this TeaCo teachers will be directed to unified teaching and leading towards
the common goal.

TEACHERS’ ENGAGEMENT ON THE USE OF LR PORTAL IN SUPPORT TO TEACHING-

LEARNING PROCESS

Jessie P. Batosin

ABSTRACT: Online educational materials and teachers’ access and utilization of these materials are important
dimensions to achieve quality learning among learners. To determine the extent of teachers’ perception about
LR portal in the teaching-learning process and potential barriers, the Google Survey Analyzer using weighted
mean was employed. The 1,184 teachers from 59 elementary and 5 secondary schools were the respondents of
this study. A significant increase of the registered teachers was noted after the intervention. In terms of LR portal
benefits, the teachers perceived that it is somewhat important to teachers for their teaching. For the potential
obstacle in using LR portal, yielded 2.85 interpreted as Minor Obstacle which means that there is less significant
problem that affects the use of LR portal by the teachers. It further shows that out of 10 possible obstacles, the
significant problem that causes difficulty in using LR portal lies on the slow or absence of internet connection.
Hence, it is very apparent that the interventions introduced were effective. Thus in the absence of quality internet
connection, it was recommended that there will be an offline learning resource management and development
system that will serves as remedy for online system.

TEACHERS’ INSTRUCTIONAL ATTITUDE, AND BEHAVIORAL ACTIONS IN RELATION TO

STUDENT’S ENGAGEMENT AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCE: BASIS FOR
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Maribel G. Advincula

ABSTRACT: The primary aim of this study is to determine the Teacher’s Attitude and Behavioral Actions in
relation to Grade Six Student’s Engagement and their Academic Achievement in Science. Moreover, the study
also sought to find out whether there is significant statistical correlation between the variables. The study uses
a descriptive correlational research design and takes into consideration 13 schools from Bacoor Cavite, 445
incoming Grade 6 pupils and 88 Science teachers. Simple random sampling was the sampling method used. A
large number of correlations between teachers’ instructional attitudes and students’ engagement in Science
classes are not significant (70% or 28 out of 40 correlations computed). Generally, the correlations between/
among variables are only few. Actually, the researcher found out that some of the variables are not at all
interrelated with one another. This study investigated on the attitudes and actions of the teachers while teaching
Elementary Science. Furthermore, it sought to answers question of relationship between these teachers’ aspects
and student engagement as well as the influence of engagement in fostering academic success. Even with a
sophisticated curriculum and well-designed instructional materials, teaching can be effective only if the features
of the learning situation engage the attention and energy of the student. The role of attention--which we call
engagement--as a mediating process in the teaching-learning transaction has received relatively little research
effort, perhaps because it is assumed that "good “teachers and ''good “curricula naturally stimulate students

TEACHERS’ INSTRUCTIONAL COMPETENCIES: THE CASE OF STA. BARBARA

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Jecelyn M. De Leon

ABSTRACT: This study is anchored on the premise that teachers’ instructional competence is essential for an
effective teaching and learning to happen. It is considered as the primordial factor which contributes to the total
development of learners. Hence, this research was purposively to find out the teachers’ instructional competence
of Sta. Barbara Elementary School, Iguig, District in terms of the Component I - Instructional Competence of the
Competency-Based Performance Assessment System for Teachers (CB-PAST) Form 3A, specified on the first
five (5) domains of the National Competency Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS). The findings showed that all
respondents had attended varied trainings related to their positions and 5 of them are teacher 3. The level of
instructional competence of respondents along the four (4) performance behavior is “Proficient”. “Content
Pedagogy – Learner’s Behavior in the Classroom” is the domain where the respondents need technical
assistance. In view of the aforementioned findings, it is concluded that teachers’ instructional competence in the
domain “Content Pedagogy – Learner’s Behavior in the Classroom” needs to be enhanced for an effective
teaching and learning to happen. Furthermore, teachers as the great factor that affects pupils’ achievement must
be well-versed in these four domains, thus opportunities of improving teachers’ instructional skills on these
performance behaviors must be made available for them to effect change for quality instruction and thereby
brings quality pupils’ performance and achievement. The proposed action plan must be implemented to address
domain on “Content Pedagogy – Learner’s Behavior in the Classroom” where technical assistance is needed. It
should be included in the School Improvement Plan (SIP), Annual Implementation Plan (AIP), Work and Financial
Plan (WFP), School Plan for Professional Development (SPPD), Instructional Supervisory Work plan and
Learning Action Cell (LAC) Session Plans and strict implementation of the plan must be observed and similar
studies must be conducted using the latest assessment tools.

TEACHERS’ PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT ON CLASSROOM OBSERVATION USING COT-

RPMS: A BASIS FOR PLANNING DISTRICT TRAINING

Ma. Veronica C. Roxas & Elsa A. Maranan

ABSTRACT: Self-assessment of 50 Public Elementary Teachers on their performance on classroom

observation using COT-RPMS and the difficulties they encountered are the focus of this study. Non-random
sampling technique was utilized in the selection of the respondents. Researchers-made questionnaire was used
as the survey instrument. Based on the data gathered, it was revealed that teachers are slightly proficient in most
indicators of the COT when they teach during classroom observation. Concerning the level of difficulty in applying
the given indicators to their lesson planning and execution, teachers find it mostly easy to them so. On the other
hand, they experienced difficulty incorporating some indicators to their planning and teaching. And these
difficulties are the ones that administrators need to focus on. To address these difficulties, the researchers
proposed a training design which can be utilized by the administrators for district training. This study can help
the administrators how to give an appropriate training to the teachers to improve the quality of their teaching
performance that will yield a better result pertaining to pupils’ achievement.

TEACHERS’ PROFILE AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION IN

TEACHING SOCIAL STUDIES IN THE DIVISION OF GINGOOG CITY

Lila C. Quijada

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the level of effectiveness of differentiated instruction in teaching
Social Studies in terms of the teachers profile in the Division of Gingoog City for the school year 2017-2018.
Descriptive research design was employed and selected thirty high school teachers teaching Social Science
were the respondents. The data gathered were treated using descriptive statistics, f-test and t-test. The findings
of the study revealed that there was no significant relationship between the instructional methods used by Social
Studies teacher in terms of their profile. The teachers profile in terms of the instructional methods used and their
profile like age, gender, civil status, years in teaching, the area of specialization, educational qualification, and
trainings attended do not have a significant effect on teaching Social Studies. The conclusion drawn from this
study was that teachers profile does not affect the effectiveness of their teaching, but rather their ability,
dedication and capacity in performing their role as Social Studies teachers. This was limited to differentiated
instructions used by teachers in secondary level. It is recommended that teachers may continue to use
differentiated instruction to sustain the effectiveness in teaching that would enrich the learning process of
learners. In-service training must be mandated particularly in Social Studies in such a way that teachers will
upgrade their awareness on the context of today’s society and current events locally and globally. This research
was the first in the Division of Gingoog City and by this research teachers were enlightened of the differentiated
activities they were using in the classroom.

ABSTRACT: This study entitled “Teaching it Right, Learning it Right with 2C2IR: A Project Designed for Diverse
Learners” aimed to answer the following questions: 1.what is the profile of the respondents; 2. what is the level
of teacher’s teaching performance in terms of using differentiated, developmentally appropriate learning
experiences for diverse learners; 3. what project can be produced to address identified concerns; 4. what
monitoring and evaluation tool can be used by school heads and master teachers on the use of pedagogical
approach. The researcher used descriptive survey method. A questionnaire was used to determine the level of
teacher’s performance in terms of using differentiated, developmentally appropriate learning experiences for
diverse learners. Purposive sampling was employed in selecting respondent of the study. The school heads and
master teachers who were selected are currently serving in DepEd Padre Garcia District for the school year
2018-2019. This design is used to determine the level of teacher’s performance in terms of using differentiated,
developmentally appropriate learning experiences for the diverse learners. Based on the results, it clearly shows
that most of the teachers’ performance level in teaching is at the “beginning level” in terms of “Utilize teaching
innovations suited to the learning capability of the students”. The researcher’s plan of solution towards the
findings, resulted to a District Project that suggests the implementation of TL with 2C2I1R. This project aims to
guide school heads and master teachers in providing technical assistance in the matter of classroom instructions
suited for diverse learners and to address the increasingly diverse learning process.

TEACHING PERFORMANCE OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN BULACNIN ELEMENTARY

SCHOOL IN LIPA CITY NORTH DISTRICT, DIVISION OF LIPA CITY

Philip M. Quizon

ABSTRACT: The school is a universal institution for learning where the transformation of child takes place.From
a simple living organism with limited knowledge, information and ideas, little by little they are molded to become
more independent and trained by teachers to face the risk and challenges of life so with the complexities of world.
There are fundamental elements that make teaching learning possible and achievable; they are the teachers,
learners and conducive learning environment. Without one, there would be no teaching nor learning of a desired
objective. Only when a positive relationship exists among them, can teaching occurs with precision and
predictability. Teachers serve as the prime movers of the educational wheel. With this, teachers carry a big
responsibility in the classroom. As Salandanan (2006) stated, there is no single factor that can contribute more
to an improved pupil achievement than a guarantee of quality teacher in every classroom. Teachers play a vital
role in improving the quality of education.One primary goal for the school is to ensure teacher competency in the
classroom. Teacher’s understanding of content and methodology are important aspects for successful classroom
and teaching and thus, essential aspects of student learning. The most important factors for successful classroom
teaching are classroom management, subject matter, knowledge, and discipline. Considerable importance is
also given to the organization of learning situations and materials for effective teaching and learning process.
Many basic education graduates find great difficulty in many of their subjects like English, Science and
Mathematics, Among all these subjects. Mathematics is said to be one of the most difficult subjects, because it
involves numbers and problems that others do not like especially the pupils. However, Mathematics is one of the
most important subjects. Every individual used Mathematics all the time, from the moment they wake up and
close their eyes to rest at night. Relative to this big responsibility lies to Mathematics teachers. If these problems
won’t be addressed and remedied, there will be a continuous decline in the intellectual capacity of the learners.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to examine the problem solving performance of the identified low
performing Grade 10 students in Mathematics at SJNHS with the use of manipulatives in teaching probability.
This was an experimental research which administered pre-test and post-test. It also utilized a rubric in checking
the student’s answers. This research employed paired T-test to determine the significant difference between the
pre-test and post-test scores. The mean scores of the pre-test and post test, respectively, with the following
topics were: a. Simple Probability: 4.9750 and 14.8000; b. Mutually and Not Mutually Exclusive Events: 7.6000
and 15.0250; c. Independent and Dependent Events: 6.7750 and 16.2250; Conditional Probability: 2.1250 and
6.5000. It also showed that there were significant differences between the pre-test and post-test scores of the
respondents. The respondents of the study were 40 low performing grade 10 students of San Jose National High
School in Mathematics based on their ratings in the third quarter, school year 2017-2018. To make the students
find mathematics as stimulating and challenging subject specifically on problem-solving under the K-12 program,
it is recommended to continue on improving the classroom activities through the use of tools like manipulatives
in planning and developing lessons.

TEAM TEACHING BY DISCIPLINE: EXPERIENCES OF SCIENCE TEACHERS IN THE K TO 12

CURRICULUM

Jenifer C. Mangali

ABSTRACT: The onset of the implementation of the K to 12 curriculum poses a great challenge to adapt and
embrace teach all scheme program for secondary science teachers. This phenomenon has given teachers much
load and additional burden in studying subjects which were not in their field expertise. A phenomenological
method was used to provide a window in describing and analyzing the essence or essences of lived experience
of sixteen (16) secondary science teachers in team-teaching by discipline, driven by one central question “What
characterizes team-teaching by discipline? The responses to the central question gave direction and focus which
was provided with an in-depth personal perspective of this study. Different meanings were constructed from the
significant statements. The results showed that science teachers from Eusebio High School have positive attitude
towards team-teaching by discipline. They have seen evidence of improved academic outcome in students who
have received team –teaching by discipline; their knowledge and understanding of subject matter has improved
through peer collaboration. On assessment, science teachers reported that their students were able to pass their
subjects and decrease the number of failing students due to immediate feed backing. Various teaching strategies
such as talk/lecture, individual work and small group, activity-based, individual/group presentation, and
demonstration/ experiment/role play were reported as “always” used in a team-teaching by discipline science
classrooms. Science teachers identified unique characteristics of team-teaching by discipline. Participants
recognized the importance of professional development, and share success and challenges in team teaching by
discipline. The study suggest a larger scope of participants such as two or more schools implementing team-
teaching is recommended to determine the efficacy of team-teaching by discipline.

ABSTRACT: This research endeavor was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Tandem Enrichment
Activities in Modular Scheme Approach in improving the achievement level of the Grade 6 pupils in Science
during the School Year 2016-2017. The researcher made use of the pre-test- post-test design. Respondents of
the study were the 41 pupils of Grade VI-Sampaguita of Iraga Elementary School. Mean, Standard Deviation,
Paired Samples T-Test and Eta-squared were the statistical tools used in the study. Results showed that there
was a significant difference between the pre-test and post test results after the utilization of the TEAMS approach.
The intervention has improved the achievement level of the pupils from below average to above average with a
mean of 15.34 to 25.12 respectively. Moreover, it was also revealed that there was a moderate effect of the
enrichment activities when conducted to the class as reflected in the result of the Eta2 which is 0.60. It is implied
further that this research will be beneficial to teachers who are conducting enrichment activities with the use of
such strategy.

Florespina C. Salugsugan

ABSTRACT: This study examined the savings’ capacity of TecVoc dressmaking/ tailoring students enrolled in
2018-2019 at GCCNHS, Gingoog City as benefits in their sewing skills for their won livelihood. This was an action
research with the intervention lasted for six-months.There were twenty two ( 22) respondents. Purposive
sampling method was used and it used descriptive statistics. The intervention was called TecVoc Savers with
the cooperative bank of Gingoog City. The study revealed that most of the respondents age profile was in age
range from 19-22 years old, most of them were females (96%) and most of them showed their average skills as
dressmakers than tailoring considering they were still learning tailoring during the conduct of the study. It was
also found that students who were industrious, hard working and ready to underwent work pressure and overtime
were better savers than those who were not. Their total earning of the day in sewing school uniforms, making
repairs and accepting sewing orders were saved by their treasurer and every Friday would be deposited to
cooperative bank. Most of the learners used their savings in buying school projects, school requirements and
paying for school contribution. Almost all of the students saved their money for their graduation purposes. There
were also some problems students met being dressmakers and tailors and that were the number of sewing
machines for students to use. Finally sewers were motivated in sewing because of their saving accounts as they
become bigger and bigger everyday. Thus, their exposure to different sewing jobs helped them become skillful
in their job. The limitations of this research was the students’ knowledge as sewers and dressmakers. This
research implies that savings will help students in tecvoc to embrace the value of savings for their future. It helps
learners to value the world of savings because by savings means they saves their lives and the humanity.

TEACHERS: A BASIS FOR SECONDARY TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
TRAINING PROGRAM

Alvin O. Insorio & Frederick G. Byrd Jr.

ABSTRACT: Mobile learning is one of the new trends in delivering the lesson due to the interest of the students
towards mobile devices. Before it must be implemented in basic education, teachers’ readiness on this kind of
21st century learning must secure to contribute significantly to deliver the lesson effectively and efficiently. This
study focused on technological and operational mobile learning readiness of secondary teachers particularly
English, Science, and Mathematics. It also aimed to propose professional development training program to make
the mobile learning implementation successful. This was descriptive cross sectional design wherein survey
questionnaire and interview guide questions were the instruments for data collection for 120 participants. It was
found out that secondary teachers were much ready in terms of accessibility and affordability of mobile learning.
In terms of operational skills, secondary teachers were skilled in operating mobile devices. When it comes to
awareness and attitude, they are much aware and have positive attitude towards mobile learning. However, they
much need training and support from the institution both help desk and online. On the other hand, a three day
mobile learning training program was proposed focusing on ethics in mobile use, strategies and techniques on
using mobile gadget, operating mobile devices properly, programming of mobile app and creation of school based
training and support staff. Before the implementation of mobile learning, DepEd officials should have a well-
planned program to make the implementation be successful. Similar studies should be conducted in other division
or in the whole region to verify if basic education teachers are much ready on mobile learning before it will be
implemented nation-wide as alternative delivery mode.

TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTED INQUIRY-BASED INSTRUCTION: ITS EFFECT ON THE

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS SCIENCE AMONG GRADE 10
STUDENTS OF SAN ROQUE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Nenita D. Nicolas

ABSTRACT: Today’s generation of students, the “Gen Z” generation are exposed to the products and processes
of technology such as smart phones and the internet. They grew up holding smart phones even during the
preschool stage. To reach out to this present generation of students and make the teaching learning process
interesting and relevant to them, the incorporation of technology in the science classroom was investigated. This
action research used the experimental design to determine the effect of technology supported inquiry-based
instruction on the students’ achievement and attitude towards Science 10 domain Earth and Space. The first
group was taught using the traditional method while the second group was taught using technology supported
inquiry-based instruction. A pre-test post test design was employed. Both groups were given the same activities
and exercises found in the learners’ material. The findings of this study using the t-test showed that the group
that received the intervention performed better in the achievement test. However, there was no significant
difference in their attitude towards science before and after the intervention indicating that technology supported
inquiry-based instruction did not affect their moderately high level of attitude or interest. This research integrated
technology in formative assessment using Plickers apps.

TEXTUAL METAFUNCTION ANALYSIS OF PERSUASIVE PARAGRAPHS: A CONTEXTUALIZED

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL ON WRITING PERSUASIVE TEXTS

May Grace D. Salazar

ABSTRACT: This study focused on the persuasive paragraphs written by Grade 10 students in Lucena
Dalahican National High School for school year 2018 - 2019. This study was descriptive in nature using both
qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative approach was used in analyzing the textual metafunction
present in the persuasive writings produced by Grade 10 students. On the other hand, qualitative approach was
used for the acceptability level of the material. Using the analysis of Butt et al. (2000), the researcher identified
the Theme and Rheme of every clause of the students’ persuasive paragraph ignoring the errors concerning
grammar and spelling. The researcher used the framework of Halliday and Matthiessen (2004) in analyzing the
textual metafunction through Thematic structure, information structure and cohesion. The Grade 10 students
sparingly used conjunctions, logical connectors and cohesive devices in their persuasive texts which shows poor
coherence in their paragraphs. Also, most of the students used reiteration or constant Theme pattern in their
written text since it is the easiest to work on. Thus, Thematic development should be a major concern among
language teachers in teaching writing skills. The developed supplemental material was validated by the LRMDS
in SDO Lucena City. Then, it was presented to the education program supervisor in English for its adoption and
implementation. The developed material was very much acceptable in terms of comprehensibility, usability,
relevance and authenticity. It is recommended that paragraph development, Thematic development and cohesion
be taught seamlessly to the students for them to write compelling text types. The relevance of developed material
can be further enhanced. The study can be replicated using other text types such as expository, narrative and
descriptive texts.

Keywords: textual metafunctions, Thematic development, Thematic progression, persuasive texts

THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL (SHS) PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND

EMPLOYABILITY OF ICT STUDENT-GRADUATES OF PAHARANG INTEGRATED SCHOOL

Paulina P. De Torres

ABSTRACT: The study determined the Accomplishment of Senior High School (SHS) Program Objectives and
Employability of ICT Student-Graduates of Paharang Integrated School. An action plan proposed will be used
to enhance students graduates employability. Descriptive -correlational research methods enabled the
description of the two variables and assessment of the relationship between them. As found out, SHS programs
as to instruction, training resources and facilities and assessment were all highly accomplished because of the
trained teachers, provision of skills development resources and use of standardized tools in assessment. SHS
ICT students were found highly employable after developing required skills, competences and values demanded
by the local and global labour market. Indicators of the independent variable were found significantly related
except for training resources/facilities found not related to values development. The Proposed Action Plan
addressed the problems encountered by the senior high school program of Paharang IS. SHS students are
employable due to skills, competence and values demanded by the labour market. Training resources/facilities
do not predict values development, while independent variable predicts employability. Continued teachers’
training, use of training resources/facilities and standardized assessment tool, having tie-ups and affiliation with
agencies, use of training resources/facilities for values development, implementation of the Action Plan with
funds and manpower and conducting a future study are recommended.

THE CODE RED READING PROGRAM UP CLOSE: REINVENTING READING MATERIALS TO

COMPLEMENT THE NEEDS OF GRADE FIVE STRUGGLING READERS

Leonora D. Maravilla

ABSTRACT: The researcher as a Grade Five adviser, had encountered twenty (20) struggling readers out of
forty (40) pupils which had been a problem to her. In 2019, she discovered that the struggling readers had
difficulty in identifying the different vowel sound, much more recognize them when they were combined with
consonants. She decided to invent a reading program which she called Code Red Reading Program. The reading
materials consist of long and short vowel sound, digraphs and basic sight words which she first taught to pupils
written on charts. After identifying the good readers, she used the dyadic approach pairing fast readers with
struggling ones. The words are then written on cardboard for easy access of pupils. This school year, she aimed
to reinvent the Code Read Reading materials to complement the needs of Grade Five struggling readers of Wawa
Elementary School. To do this, the reading profiles of struggling readers were determined and thereafter, their
needs were asked. The problems that beset the teachers in teaching reading were also determined. The
researcher used the descriptive method of research with twenty (20) struggling readers as participants and eight
(8) reading teachers as respondents. Results revealed the same effectiveness of the Code Red Reading
Program. This time the reading materials have been repaired or remade. The needs of pupils revealed their
interest in any reading materials that they can hold. Problems that beset the reading teachers remained
absenteeism and misbehavior among pupils. But those problems were easily thwarted by the Code Read
Reading Program.

ABSTRACT: The research aims to determine the improvement in oral reading performance of struggling readers
using the audio-visual materials as applied intervention. To determine the significant difference in the oral reading
proficiency of Grade 2 struggling readers in English, Phil- IRI tool was utilized as instrument and t-test was used
to compare the result of oral reading test from pre-test to post test. Findings showed that: (1) the oral reading
proficiency in English of Grades 2 struggling learners’ population lowered from pre-test to post-test; (2) the use
of audio-visual materials as intervention in reading words with CVC pattern and the basic sight words led learners
to happiness and their learning capability was enhanced; ; (3) reading program must be implemented
continuously since it allows struggling readers acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes that made them develop
as lifelong learners. Parent – teacher coordination regarding learners’ performance to address reading problem
was highly suggested. Reading must be focused to letter sounds, then to CVC patterns, phrases, paragraphs,
short stories to strengthen reading foundation. A regular reading remediation program that enhanced teaching
reading process could make the program more effective. Levelling of giving remedial reading instructions
addresses different cases of struggling readers using varied interventions.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REPEATED READING THROUGH BINGO GAME READING

STRATEGY AMONG GRADE V AND VI PUPILS

Crestina E. Ampat & Jogie F. Cuanan

ABSTRACT: The study determined the effectiveness of repeated reading through Bingo Game Reading
Strategy among Grades 5 and 6 pupils The control and experimental groups were the subject of the study. The
Bingo game successfully increased student’s self- confidence to learn how to read. They game is engaging,
worthwhile, and enjoyable. Reading through game is one of effective strategy to teach reading. Pupils tends to
read individually, by peers or by group. It is interesting to do because it is in a form of game. Pupils were motivated
especially when they won the game. The findings of the study revealed that using Bingo Game Reading Strategy
pupils will have mastery on the reading. Especially when it is done every day. Therefore, it is concluded that the
repeated reading through bingo game strategy will help increase the mastery level of pupils in terms of reading.
It is important that, we should know the reading level of our pupils and look for any intervention to help them
become a reader. Holistic implementation of the bingo game strategy of the reading teacher plays a vital role on
enhancing the reading level of pupils. Remedial reading is part of our daily schedule, and the DepEd project
LEARN (Leave Everything and Read Now). This research on repeated reading through Bingo game reading
strategy is useful and can be use on the said project to enhance pupil’s interest to read just a single letter, syllable
or word every day until it will become a phrase or a sentence. If this will be practice every day, pupils can easily
recognize words and improve their reading level. The researcher finds this strategy very effective to pupils who
have less interest in reading. Reading materials for the said strategy should also be considered to facilitate the
reading mastery of the pupils, it should be well prepared and presentable to enhance pupil’s interest to read.

PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 10 SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, & ENGINEERING (STE) STUDENTS
AT RISK OF FAILING IN SCIENCE

Joey Ian C. Singson

ABSTRACT: To sustainably carry out the vision of the Department of Education in the implementation of the
Science, Technology and Engineering Program, it must be ensured that high standards and optimum quality of
special science classes are facilitated through innovations allowing each learner to consistently perform and be
motivated limiting their risks of dropping from the program. Drawing on needs assessment reports through focus
group discussions, parent conference, Guidance Office-assisted personal and emotional support, teacher-made
assessments, classroom activities, and interactive tutorial sessions, this action research using mixed method
design aims to examine the effectiveness of a teacher-designed intervention program to improve the academic
performance of Grade 10 Science, Technology, & Engineering (STE) students at risk of failing in Science.
Purposively selecting 23 STE students with total cumulative raw scores below STE grade standards using the
previous quarter results as baseline, they were subjected to different strategies under RISE AP Intervention
program in the third quarter of the school year. Data gathered were then analysed using mean for the quantitative
data, raw scores and textual analysis for the transcribed responses through Focus Group Discussion. Results
revealed that with close monitoring and early detection of student’s performance and provision of planned
intervention through remedial classes and other strategies can significantly improve their grades in Science.
Teachers are therefore encouraged that the initiatives included in the RISE AP Intervention program be used to
ensure early detection of the student’s academic difficulties and challenges so they may be helped in improving
their academic performance.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MAPEH PROGRAM AND ITS EFFECT ON THE GRADUATING
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ INCLINATION TOWARDS SPORTS AND ARTS TRACK

Naida Cepillo Pabelico

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to assess the preferences of those who are about to enter SHS with
regards to the track they are to take. This is primarily a way of gauging their inclination towards the Sports and
the Arts track which may be an indication of the effectiveness of the MAPEH Department in stirring the athletes
and artists in them. As such, an enhanced developmental program for the MAPEH Department may be crafted
based on the findings of this study. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational quantitative research which
also utilizes qualitative measures by using interviews among the respondents. This study is a description of how
the respondents perceive the effectiveness of the MAPEH curricula based on the questions asked. It is also
quantitative in nature in the sense that it shows a numerical presentation relevant data. The researcher
determined correlations from analysis and comparison of the data gathered from the respondents. This study
shows that as perceived by the respondents, time allotted for MAPEH is sufficient to ensure appreciation of the
different subject areas. This is followed by MAPEH instruction which they also see as very effective because it is
characterized by appropriate learner-centered teaching approaches in order to facilitate the development of
macro skills. The MAPEH program in general provides experiences that include recognizing, creating,
appreciating, and critiquing learners’ own works and the works of others. The facilities and equipment for the
different subject areas are also very effective because they are available and accessible to the users. Those who
are inclined towards the Sports and Arts Track have a better perception of the effectiveness of the MAPEH
program. The MAPEH Department is doing a fairly good job but still there is a need for improvement especially
in the teaching methods, strategies, facilities and equipment.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF UTILIZING REAL– LIFE SIMULATION GAMES ON THE

IMPROVEMENT OF THE NUMERACY SKILLS OF GRADE FIVE STUDENTS

Allan S. Dagong & Cherry Mae Tabion Tababa

ABSTRACT: The objective of the action research is to help the students overcome their mathematical difficulties
and to encourage learning through interesting instructions like real-life simulation games. To achieve the
objective of this study, the researchers used the descriptive and the experimental method of research. The
researcher utilized real-life simulation games and found it effective as shown in the results. However, the
effectiveness of the strategy is limited to mathematical drills and it does not necessarily follow that once the
learner is good in solving mathematical equations, the learner is also good in solving mathematical word
problems. Language is important in comprehension. The solution should be focused not only in solving the
mathematical equation but also in capacitating the learner to comprehend the language where the word problem
is written. The study is limited to the use of games simulating real-life situations in differentiating instructions on
the improvement of the numeracy skills of selected Grade 5 students of Sto. Niño Elementary School in the
conduct of the intervention program in Mathematics. The games simulating real-life situations employ the use of
different objects and tools.

the academic achievement of the students. The sample consisted of 60 grade 8 students and 80 grade 10
students from Malaybalay City National High School for the school year 2017 - 2018. The respondents were
selected using simple random sampling. The study made use of quasi-experimental pre-test post-test research
design. Two groups of grade 8 students and another two groups of grade 10 students were involved in this study.
The experimental group was taught with lessons in electricity for grade 8 and electromagnetism for grade 10,
with integration of computer simulation, while the control group was taught in a conventional laboratory
environment. The Physics Education Technology (PhET) simulation software program was used in virtual
learning environment. There were four research instruments used in the study: the achievement tests in electricity
that obtained a computed Cronbach alpha of 0.857 and the achievement tests in electromagnetism that obtained
a computed Cronbach alpha of 0.849 for its reliability coefficient. The lessons in electricity and electromagnetism
with laboratory activities integrating computer simulation were also constructed. The achievement test was
administered as posttest. The data gathered in the pre-test and posttest were analyzed by computing the mean,
standard deviation and were subjected to one way analysis of covariance at p = 0.05 level of significance. The
findings showed that the students in grade 8 and grade 10 from the experimental group achieved higher scores
than the students from the control group. There is a significant difference in the post-test scores between the two
groups of students in favor of those students in the experimental group at different grade level. The results
showed that integration of computer simulation in laboratory activities in teaching electricity and

READERS OF BAESA ELEMENTARY SCHOOLFOR SY 2016-2017

Melane Bacelonia Celeste

ABSTRACT: Baesa Elementary School is considered as medium school in the Division of Caloocan City with a
population of 1602 pupils for School Year 2017-2018. There are 42 sections in all Grade levels including Kinder.
The Grade 5 level is consisting of two hundred twenty-seven pupils and was divided into five sections. Non-
readers is a perennial issue among schools and we share the same sentiments. To help the school address the
issue, the researcher come up with the strategy that could enhance the reading ability of struggling pupils. The
ultimate goal of the study was to improve the skill of the respondents in terms of reading. The respondents of the
research are 36 pupils from Grade 5 level that found to be in the frustration level based on their PHIL IRI result.
The researcher collated the data then divides them into two groups. These are the experimental group and control
group. The experimental group used the strategy Read and Play using Computer Assisted Instruction. They used
words with moving objects and animated stories that made the respondents more interesting and motivated to
learn. Each respondent has their own portfolio to compile their daily activity. Group reading, buddy reading and
individual reading was done using computer assisted instruction. Oral and written assessment was done every
Friday with their parents to determine the effects of the program. After the 60 sessions of Read and Play using
Computer Assisted Instruction, remarkable results was noticed based on their PHIL IRI post-test. Experimental
group shows that from frustration level, they fall into Independent and Instructional level while the control group
was still in the frustration and few of them fall under instructional level. I therefore conclude that the program
could be a possible strategy to enhance the reading skill of Grade 5 struggling readers of the school.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to ascertain the efficacy of the teachers’ written corrective feedback through the
responses of the selected grade 10 students. The investigation is centered on identifying and analyzing the
students’ attitude on the written corrective feedback given to their outputs. It also includes determining the
common forms of written corrective feedback and how students are affected of the correction they receive. As a
qualitative research, interviews and document analysis techniques were utilized to observe the responses of the
eleven Grade 10 students who were chosen randomly. The results show that the most common Written
Corrective Feedback students received are focused on grammar correction. Majority of the participants showed
positive attitude towards those written corrective feedback. It was concluded that students are most likely to
receive grammar correction and they have positive perception towards it. The participants were also looking
forward to some writing conferences, because they believe that this conference will help them understand the
WCF clearly. There is a strong possibility that grammar correction and direct CF are effective strategies in
checking students written outputs.

following concerns were gathered, analyzed and interpreted. Results showed that teachers looked at
collaborative approach as very highly effective (mean 4.74). Fifty-two percent of the teachers is using
collaborative approach, 17% constructivist, 11% integrative, 11% inquiry-based, and 9% reflective. Reflective
approach was chosen to be explored by most of the respondents (29%) in future sessions. The difficulties
encountered by teachers in using the different approaches are: (1) learners’ difficulty in following instructions, (2)
lack of focus, (3) lack of willingness and cooperation, (4) teachers’ lack of mastery in using different approaches,
and (5) lack of time of doing visual aids because of time mismanagement. Teachers deemed the use of various
teaching approaches can help the learners to have (1) mastery of competency, (2) increased communication, (3)
improved confidence, (4) facility in comprehension, and (5) better academic output. The result obtained from this
study can be used as an input for SLACs.

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Marigold B. Paguta

ABSTRACT: The visual learning is not new in education. It is a form of learning and its antedates the era of
articulate language. Long before the invention of the alphabet , drawings were made in sand , and on the walls
of caves and elsewhere. The secondary school recognizes the importance of the use of visual materials. Thus ,
for years , in progressive countries , visual education has been something of an important aspect in their
educational system. The effectiveness of the use of visual materials has been officially recognized in many
ways. The writers realized that learning takes place when the greatest number of senses are stimulated. The
use of visual materials stimulates the greatest number of senses. The teacher occupies a major role in moulding
the character of the youth. The effectiveness of the transmission of our cultural heritage to the youth rests in
her hands. Her main function is to help the young grow to be well rounded individuals who can contribute to
the progress of the society. Therefore , the teacher utilizes sensory aids in the classroom. The use of visual
materials then becomes an integral part of the experiences of the students. The study focused on the efficacy
of visual learning materials in academic performance at Lunao National High School for school year 2019-
2020.

STRENGTHENING PATRIOTISM

Elenita A. Panaligan

ABSTRACT: Patriotism is of course a citizenship valuing his or her involvement in the affective roles,
objectives,targets of Araling Panlipunan education informing the students about their contribution as productive
citizen with all honesty and loyalty. This study aimed to strengthen the patriotism among students using a
particular tool to engage in classroom instruction and to actually check its effectiveness in doing it so. With the
K-12 Curriculum as described by Gulfnews reports: “ the K-12 Program will pave the way for an ever brighter
future for young Filipinos by equipping them with basic education up to international standards”. The goal of
educating the 21st Century learners’ skills at school is to bring them classroom learning in a more innovative
technology education but emphasizing love of country and patriotism. This action research aimed to investigate
the Araling Panlipunan teachers’ ways using Film Showing if this can actually provide teachable moments which
may bring lesson into higher level of understanding on the part of the learners. A total of 5 Araling Panlipunan
teachers were asked to semi-structured interview to analyse data collected out of their responses to interviews.
Again, Film Showing as a tool in teaching the lesson will then be justified if can be useful to strengthen by
keeping or providing informations that eventually help students to discuss the “ pagiging makabayan” or patriotic
and more of responsibilities to others, community and to country and so much more. This study used a self-made
questionnaire. The research was concluded this first quarter of the school year from grade 7 to grade 10 students
in junior high school. The participants were limited to 10 students, those who are currently enrolled in and selected

THE IMPACT OF MODEL DRAWING APPROACH (MDA) TO SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR THE
ARTS PUPILS’ COMFORT, INTEREST AND SELF-EFFICACY IN SOLVING WORD PROBLEMS

Catherine B. Gonzaga

ABSTRACT: This research seeks to present whether the pupils of Grade 6 Special Program for the Arts (SPA)
class of Dulongbayan Elementary School (DBES) had improved their perception, in terms of their level of comfort,
interest and self-efficacy in solving word problem after the introduction of Model Drawing Approach (MDA) as a
strategy. This study surveyed 50 Grade 6 pupils in the SPA class of DBES for SY 2018-2019 who were chosen
purposively as subject-respondents mainly because of their differences in learning styles. A one group pretest-
posttest quasi experimental design was implored to establish significant impact of the strategy to the perception
of pupils’ level of comfort, interest and self-efficacy in solving word problems. Perception about the helpfulness
of MDA as a problem solving tool may be driven by the pupils’ preferred learning style. Still, the use of MDA as
a problem solving tool had an over-all positive impact to pupils’ level interest and self-efficacy. Therefore, the
use of MDA as a strategy for solving word problems was recommended to be adopted in all grade levels with
SPA classes within the school. The effectivity, or the lack thereof, of MDA as strategy is delimited within the
prerequisite knowledge and was limited within skills of the sample-respondents when it comes to performing the
four basic operations in Mathematics. Also, due to the purposive sampling done, the results of this study may
not be generalized across different grade 6 classes of DBES. This implies that the use of MDA in class should
be done with consideration to the preferred learning styles of pupils. Many related literatures had already given
support in the benefit of MDA when it comes to improving pupils’ ability in solving word problems. However, this
research gives emphasis on its impact in terms of the perception of pupils to comfort, interest and self-efficacy
when it comes to problem solving, considering their preferred learning style.

SCHOOLS (CLUSTER B-2)

Jan Quester P. Aquino

ABSTRACT: The immediate objective of this research is to assess the level of literary appreciation needed in
the literature-based instruction of DepEd’s K-12 program in relation to the academic performance. The study
used descriptive-co relational method in order to determine the assessment of the respondents to the level of
literary appreciation and the academic performance in English. Descriptive method was used to describe the
academic performance along with the literary appreciation. Correlational method was used to determine the
difference between the assessment of the two groups and the relationship of the literary appreciation level to the
academic performance in English of the student-respondents. Specifically, the questionnaire survey is used in
this study. It was found out that the level of literary appreciation has no significant relationship with the students’
academic performance in English. The study stems from the fact that it may help teachers in English in finding
new procedures that can create better users of the language through learning the rational aspects of English in
authentic literary contexts. The researcher proposed an enhancement program on the literature-based instruction
strategies to contribute towards the attainment of high English fluency among the public high school students.

Daryl D. Angeles, Edison C. Cabriga & Margie B. Gamboa

ABSTRACT: Extra-curricular activity is a non-academic activity. A student’s life to be fully enriched needs more
on academic endeavors as well as exposure to varied exploratory activities that include involvement in extra-
curricular activities. Amaya School of Home Industries with around six thousand students, some students do not
join extra-curricular activities of the school due to several reasons: poor health condition, lack of interest, they
are motivated, and limited numbers of participants needed. Thus, this study was conducted mainly to find out the
existing and preferred activities of Grade 10 students of ASHI in maximizing students abilities holistically.
Descriptive statistics was used after the analyzed data were gathered to further validate results. The sampling
technique was used to determine respondents. The findings of the study revealed that with the number of different
extra-curricular activities offered in the institution, Intramurals and Red Cross activities were the preferred extra-
curricular activities among the Grade Ten Students. It is then recommended that students should be given
incentive based-techniques for motivation purposes. It also recommends that school should create additional co-
curricular activities which align to the needs and interest of the learners. The findings from this study will be
beneficial to the students, teacher, parents and school administrator and future researchers in providing tools
and ways in molding well-rounded individuals.

THE READING PROBLEMS AT NASUGBU WEST DISTRICT: PROFILES OF COASTAL

SCHOOLS

Buenafe C. Alpapara

ABSTRACT: Basic reading skills include language, concentration, visual processing skills, auditory processing
skills which are important for developing phonemic awareness, memory and reasoning. Each of these skills
needs to be practiced and applied in order for a pupil to become a proficient reader. However, reading has been
a problem in the past and is still a problem at present at coastal schools in Nasugbu namely Wawa, Calayo,
Balaytigue, Bucana and Papaya Elementary Schools. Denying this fact will not help solve problem. As school
head and the District English Coordinator of Nasugbu West District, the researcher observed that there are
struggling and Non-readers in the district which needed attention. She aimed to determine the reading profiles
of each coastal school in terms of the number of Independent, Instructional, Frustration, Struggling, and Non-
readers. The problems encountered by reading teachers of coastal schools in Nasugbu West District was also
investigated. The descriptive design with the researcher-made questionnaire as the main instrument was used.
Ten (10) reading teachers and thirty-five (35) grade leaders were the respondents chosen using the purposive
sampling technique. Confidentiality of the responses was considered. It was found that with regards to school
factors, there had been too much co-curricular activities which placed the focus of both teachers and pupils away
from reading. Instruction in phonemic awareness was poor. There were no intervention materials to use for
underdeveloped reading proficiency of pupils and even intervention programs were not carried out to the full.
With regards to pupil profile factors, pupils who migrated to the coastal area had not been taught phonemes from
the schools where they came from. Cultures of immigrant pupils did not place importance to reading. Child labor,
poverty, absenteeism and lifestyle also stood in the way. As outcome of this study, the researcher proposed an
Intervention Program called “Kapit-kamay mga Ka-Coastal sa Pagpapabasa” program.

ABSTRACT: This action research proposal will be conducted to determine how education is seeking to
understand how specific parental behavior and involvement contribute to the success of children in school.
Regardless of the preferred style, varying factors such as culture, religion, the temperament of the child and
parent, and parental status will influence the interactive process of that style. Most parents could benefit from
knowledge and information of different styles to improve their parenting skills. Parenting style is a pattern of
behavior that influences child-rearing practices and scholastic achivement. Approaches vary based on several
factors such as culture, religion and parental status ranging from how parents themselves were raised to the
goals parents have for their children. The descriptive method of research through a survey will be used in this
study. The researcher will prepare a questionnaire related to the variables to be used in the study. The conduct
of this action research is currently on-going. Results to be followed. This study was limited to the relationship

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND VOCABULARY LEVEL OF

GRADE IV PUPILS OF QUILO-QUILO NORTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Leah T. Abante & Joy P. Bolanos

ABSTRACT: This research aims to determine the vocabulary level of Grade IV pupils at Quilo-Quilo North
Elementary School. Identify the reasons why pupils belonging to low socioeconomic status have limited
vocabularies compared to their peers belonging to middle and high socioeconomic homes and suggest activities
that may enrich learners’ vocabulary level. They used Descriptive Qualitative Survey for this study. Home
visitations were conducted and a vocabulary test was administered to 27 Grade IV pupils of Quilo-Quilo North
Elementary School, 12 males and 15 females.Vocabulary level is related to socioeconomic factors. Children from
families on welfare or near the poverty line often have limited vocabularies in comparison to their peers from
higher-socioeconomic households. The vocabularies of high and low ability learners show large individual
differences and differences can be attributed to socioeconomic status. Given the important role that vocabulary
knowledge plays in reading comprehension, the issue of children from low socioeconomic homes having limited
vocabularies is alarming. There is little opportunity for these students to close the vocabulary gap unless the
schools provide useful vocabulary instruction. Factors such as lower maternal education level, higher number of
children in the home, decreased access to literacy materials, lack of exposure to literacy and cultural experiences,
amount of talk in the home, and higher likelihood of being from a single parent. Research suggests that pupils
specially those belonging to low socioeconomic home should be provided with rich vocabulary instruction. Rich
instruction that includes utilizing questioning, providing brief explanations, pointing, clarifying and repeating, when
teaching higher level vocabulary to promote vocabulary development.

Angelica L. Librea

ABSTRACT: This study explored the relationship between teaching strategies and students’ English language
competencies. It specified the demographic profile of the respondents and the extent of utilization of teaching
strategies and the English language competencies of the Grade VII students in Cumba-Quezon Integrated
School. This study employed the descriptive research cited by Calderon & Gonzales, 2007 that it describes and
interprets what is. It is concerned with conditions of relationships that exist; practices that prevail; beliefs;
processes that are going on; effects that are being felt, or trends that are developing. In survey method research,
participants answer questions administered through questionnaires. Seek to provide students with rich language
learning experiences through a substantial and well-planned curriculum that builds on the knowledge and skills
that students have developed in basic education. The teacher must be the one to enrich student’s academic
experience by providing co-curricular opportunities that reinforce the educational and personal development of
students within the school framework. This study was conducted in Cumba- Quezon Integrated School. There
were 55 Grade VII students as the respondents. Moreover, it investigated the level of understanding of the
respondents in terms of the teaching strategies and English language competencies of the students. Since
teacher beliefs are crucial in embracing curricular innovations, future studies may examine the strategical
framework that language teachers use and bridge the gap between their beliefs and the new English curriculum.
Further research also needs to be directed toward examining the capacity of English language teachers in
implementing the curriculum at a classroom level and design appropriate training programs.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF MTB-MLE IN THE ORAL READING TEST

Alvin M. Dela Cerna

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study was to determined the pedagogical approaches of the grades 1,
2 and 3 MTB-MLE teachers that promote oral reading proficiency of the pupils particularly. This study seeks to
find out the underlying teachers’ pedagogy and their pupils’ oral reading proficiency correlation relations that can
be designed to improve the MTB-MLE instruction. This study used the descriptive survey designed method.The
grades 1, 2 and 3 teachers utilized the balanced approach in their MTB-MLE classes. It was revealed that majority
of the teachers employed balanced approach and no teachers utilized purely Grammar-Based Approach and
Communicative Approach as a teaching strategy. Thus, the teachers’ pedagogy had a significant relationship to
the high oral reading performance of the students. This study confirmed that the pupils’ language competence
can be attributed to the teachers’ pedagogical approaches in language teaching. Pedagogy in itself may not a
determiner of the pupils’ oral reading proficiency.It was recommended that MTB-MLE teachers must be reflective
on their teaching strategies specifically in giving learning activities which are suitable for every learner in the
classroom to promote language competence.

comprehension. The quasi-experimental method was utilized in this research. Several methods of reading and
Mathematics comprehension enhancement were evaluated. After devising an appropriate enhancement
program, all Grade 10 students of Lipa City Science Integrated National High School underwent the selected
enhancement program in reading and Mathematics comprehension. Points for improvement were noted to further
develop the program. Due to difficulty in handling classes and following the curriculum, the reading and
mathematical comprehension enhancement program were only be implemented for four meetings during elective
mathematics classes.The results showed that there was no significant difference in the Mathematics
comprehension of the students before and after implementing the enhancement program through the mean of
the students with the visual help was higher compared to the ones without the visual help. This was mainly
contributed to the time constraint of implementation and visuals used. After evaluating some flaws of the program,
recommendations were given to develop a better program.

THE THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE: BASIS FOR TEACHING GENERAL PHYSICS 2

TO SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) LEARNERS

Adelma S. Topacio

ABSTRACT: The researcher aimed to use the Theory of Multiple Intelligence as a basis of planning teaching
procedure, developing learning activities, and grouping for STEM learners as they work collaboratively in
performing a task related to achieving a desired learning competency in General Physics 2. This study involved
descriptive-quantitative and qualitative research designs. Two research questions were dealt with descriptive-
quantitative approach. In order to get a profile of the modality of the intelligences of the learners, data were
gathered using the Multiple Intelligences Inventory. A set of open-ended questionnaires was used to identify the
successes and challenges encountered learners in each of the intelligence modality. Another set of open-ended
questionnaires was also used to establish the components of the developed engagement activity and teaching
procedures which positively influenced their motivation level. Responses were accurately recorded, coded, and
thematically analyzed. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) Musical intelligence modality dominates over
the two sections of STEM learners in the General Physics 2; (2) The successes of the working group with varied
modality of intelligences constitutes the whole range of skills necessary for learning a lesson that requires higher
levels of cognition. Too much of mathematical calculations do not fit the best learning needs of the group; (3)
Activities that are easy to manipulate, allow learners to get necessary data, model a complex real-world situation,
and have clarity of words, graphics and captions, and involve animations have positive influence to the learners’
level of motivation; (4) Learners may progress in other domains of intelligence and may attain higher cognitive
levels if exposed to learning procedures with learning materials that uses media that delivers knowledge and
learning through language, graphics, manipulatives, music, sound, and the likes. Results qualifies the varied
modality of intelligences as the basis for grouping learners, designing a lesson plan, and selecting learning
materials.

Robert P. Macalindong & Lenila Leida B. Bartolome

ABSTRACT: In this study, it shows that the remedial reading using developmentally appropriate materials were
effective through different styles, ways and strategies can improve reading readiness in children. This can be
obtained by playing, singing, audio-visual materials, games and talking about reading and also reading to the
child and allowing them to retell the story to you. The researcher most repeated strategy was games. It helps to
improve memory skills and help the child to differentiate between sounds. Playing word games become
increasingly difficult to ignore the role. Differentiated games can be a source of experiential learning to the pupils
to become attentive and focus. Children learn best when they can express freely, thinks freely, move freely, and
explore freely on their real world which is the world that is full of play and interaction.

ABSTRACT: In view of increasing students’ performance in Biology 10 through instructional models,

enhancements and interventions, this research was conducted based on the premise that the use of mixed-mode
teaching strategy will improve students’ academic achievement. This action research determined the
effectiveness of mixed-mode teaching strategy in improving the academic performance of Biology 10 students.
This was a quasi-experimental research employing the use of pretest-posttest control group design with stratified
and purposive sampling. Findings revealed that students not exposed to mixed-mode teaching strategy had slight
increase in academic performance as evidenced by 12% (19.11% - 31.3%) increase in the performance level.
Meanwhile, it was found out that students taught using mixed-mode teaching strategy had dramatic increase in
performance and mastered all the given competencies of the lesson as supported by 78% (19.11% -98%)
advancement in the performance level. This study concluded that mixed-mode teaching strategy outperformed
the traditional method of teaching thereby producing better academic performance. Based on the aforementioned
findings and conclusion, the researcher proposed to strengthen the use of mixed-mode teaching strategy in
teaching Biology concepts through the designed lesson plans and developed instructional model to enhance and
improve mastery of the concepts about the coordinated functions of the nervous, endocrine and reproductive
systems. Likewise, replace the traditional method of teaching by the suggested online and offline group and

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Robby D. Pandino

ABSTRACT: The implementation of K to 12 Curriculum integrates the development of communicative

competence in senior high school English subjects. This means that the acquisition of the second language
requires learners to demonstrate what they learned from their inventory of grammatical forms and lexical items
to language functions thus the ability to communicate. This qualitative research was conducted to decipher the
least learned competencies of grade 11 students in Oral Communication in Context from its first quarterly
examination to design a corequisite remediation curriculum guide and to develop a coherent summative
assessment. Test results were analysed using document analysis specifically the utilization of elements from
thematic analysis to categorize the least learned competencies into language functions with corresponding
grammatical structures. The findings of this study show that the analysis of least learned competencies points
out the significance of grammatical forms in successful demonstration of language functions. Furthermore, it
strongly shows implications on how to design parallel curriculum guide to address the need for remediation
education and to develop summative assessment to applicably measure corresponding learning competencies
without losing sight of learners’ progress in second language acquisition.

TIERED LEARNING TARGETS AS STRATEGIES USED IN TEACHING GRADE

SIX PUPILS AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE LEARNERS

Charedad B. Ordiales

ABSTRACT: Differentiated instruction is factoring students’ individual learning styles and levels of readiness
first before designing a lesson plan. Research on the effectiveness of differentiation shows this method benefits
a wide range of students, from those with learning disabilities to those who are considered high ability.
Differentiating instruction may mean teaching the same material to all students using a variety of instructional
strategies, or it may require the teacher to deliver lessons at varying levels of difficulty based on the ability of
each student. (Weselby, 2014). At the Wawa Elementary School, the researcher, as a Grade Six teacher,
observed that the heterogeneous class needs a different approach of teaching in order to address their learning
needs and problems. In this regard, the researcher deemed it a must to determine the effectiveness of tiered
learning as strategies in teaching grade six pupils. This study yielded an tiered learning materials as output
which was designed to address the learners’ needs and problems. Eight Grade Six teachers were the
respondents of this study selecting using the purposive sampling technique. A researcher-made questionnaire
was the instrument used. The weighted mean was used as statistical technique. Results revealed that the Grade
Six teachers were moderately aware of the tiered learning targets as a strategy in teaching the Grade Six pupils.
Moreover, the facets of the tiered learning target were found to have contributed well to the learning of the pupils.
As output, the Tiered Learning Targets Wawa Elementary School style was created by the researcher.

utilized survey questionnaire as instrument. 167 teachers and 330 students in Calamba East District served as
respondents in this study. Results revealed that both teachers and students strongly agreed that doing homework
is important to help students learn lessons better; become more analytic and systematic; responsible citizens;
and independent learners. Likewise, they strongly agreed that homeworks help students manage their time well;
develop talents and skills; reinforce learning; and mold positive behavior toward education. They also believed
that doing homeworks create stronger bond between children and parents and create more meaningful and first-
hand learning experience. It was also found out that students lack parental support in doing their assignments
due to busy schedule in their jobs. The respondents also affirmed that the main reasons for not doing homeworks
are laziness and forgetfulness of students. However, the respondents agreed that homeworks still be given to
learners to prepare them for next lessons and improve their academic performance.

Maria Duveen Riva O. Libranda

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to find out the students’ perception on SHS TVL Track Curriculum
Implementation at Luis Palad Integrated High School and the readiness of the TLE Teachers to the demand of
the SHS students in SY 2020-2021. This included the profiling of the TLE teachers and the identification of the
TVL specializations preferred by the students. The researcher used purposive sampling technique in choosing
the TLE teachers and grade 10 students from Luis Palad Integrated High School who were the respondents of
this study. In order to answer the set of statements of the problem the researcher used frequency and percentage
distribution, weighted mean, standard deviation, ranking and Pearson product-moment correlation. The teachers
were assessed in terms of level of competency, teaching strategies and assessment. The students were
assessed in terms of attitude towards the curriculum and preferred SHS TVL Track specializations. Also included
are the identification of challenges encountered both by the teachers and students in the implementation of SHS
TVL Track Curriculum. Based on the results of the study, generally, it is evident that the TLE teachers of Luis
Palad Integrated High School were Completely Ready for the demand of senior high school students by SY 2020-
2021, but the school management has to address the SHS Curriculum Implementation as to scheduling and
provision of tools and equipment. This study will serve as the basis for the planning of SHS Curriculum
Implementation such as preparation of SHS Program, TLE Teachers Capability Building Program and for the
provision of resources for curriculum implementation in order to address the demand of the senior high school
students by SY 2020-2021.

TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF STARTER PACK FOR ACADEMIC WRITING FOR

NEWBIES (SPAWN): DISSECTING THE ESSAY WRITING SKILLS OF INCOMING GRADE 11
STUDENTS

Jhondriel C. Lim

ABSTRACT: This research described the respondents’ level of essay writing in terms of paragraph elements—
unity, organization, patterns of development, and transition; determined their essay writing strengths and
weaknesses, determined the underlying reasons of such weaknesses, and proposed an improvement plan to
address the identified weaknesses. This research utilized a descriptive design—by using writing prompts, rubrics,
and interview to provide baseline data from the incoming Grade 11 students of Lipa City Science INHS. Results
revealed that respondents need improvement in establishing unity, organization, patterns of development, and
transitional devices; the respondents’ weaknesses. Learners said they failed to achieve unity and patterns of
development because of time constraints, difficulty in processing information, and unawareness. They reasoned
difficulty in establishing an aim, time constraints, and unawareness as causes of their weaknesses in establishing
organization. Finally, they find transition difficult because of time constraints, lack of vocabulary, and
unawareness of the strategies and transitional expressions. An improvement plan focusing on unity, organization,
patterns of development and transition was crafted. The research was limited to focusing on writing outputs and
not on the process and concentrated on accomplishing basic essay writing in academic context. Addressing
learners’ specific writing weaknesses can efficiently improve the kind of outputs and forms of communication
learners/graduates produce today.

TRENDS, ISSUES, AND CHALLENGES IN SCIENCE CURRICULUM STRETCHING PRACTICES

Dennis M. Chumacera

ABSTRACT: The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the trends, issues, and challenges in curriculum
stretching practices of the Science teachers in Candelaria District, Quezon Province which was the basis in
developing an instructional framework. It utilized the phenomenological research through the open-ended
interview and focus group discussion guide. In vivo codes were used through the INVIVO version 12, yet manual
coding and themeing were still done manually to ensure accuracy of the themes. It was revealed that curriculum
stretching addresses the contrasting perspectives on the K to 12 curriculum contents, the use of diverse
instructional approaches and materials in teaching and learning, and complete assessment typologies. The
trends, issues, and challenges of the curriculum stretching center on the needs of the present times, the
curriculum clog itself, limited resources, and teachers’ training. An instructional framework has been developed
based from the results of the study. Hence, it was recommended that curriculum stretching may be extensively
introduced in the schools in line with K to 12 curriculum implementation. This study has its unique contribution of
improving teaching-learning process by the use of curriculum stretching practices suited to the needs of the
students in order for them to optimally grasp the lessons in Science classrooms.

ABSTRACT: K12 curriculum addressed an improved scale of grading system and acknowledged the persuasive
impact of rewards to increase performance. The researchers aim to identify the different extrinsic and intrinsic
rewards applicable to senior high school students specifically EIM Strand. The combination of Quantitative and
Qualitative data collection was conducted for this study. The frequency of usage of rewards was matched to their
self-assessed performance. The result showed that EIM students’ performance was highly satisfactory in relation
to reward system though the frequency showed that teachers seldom used rewards to increase performance of
students. The respondents were grade 12 EIM students. The researchers treated rewards and self-assessed
performance as the variables and delimited other factors affecting performance. The researchers opt to share
their findings through manual and technology-based application to show to teachers the applicability of reward
system to EIM students and to encourage collaborative meetings whether it is in actual or online links.

TRUANCY INTERVENTION PROGRAM BASED ON THE PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENTS,

PARENTS, AND TEACHERS OF AGUADO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Veronica R. Garcia, Mary Grace B. Sierra & Dr. Herminia E. Diloy

ABSTRACT: Truancy or absenteeism is one of the major problems facing Aguado Elementary School. It is
actually one of the major factors of grade repetition for the last three years. Hence, we deemed it imperative to
address the problem on truancy and absenteeism so we could decrease retention rate and increase the pupils’
performance. The profile of the truant students will start the examination of data. Afterwards, a descriptive and
qualitative method will be employed as the participants will be asked of their perceptions on how they can
contribute and how they can be assisted in resolving the present and existing truancy problem. The perceptions
of the three parties will then be relayed through narrative analysis. The results revealed that student absenteeism
was negatively related to physical factors; personal attitude; teacher-related reasons; classroom environment
and home factors. Among these, home related factors is the primary reason for truancy. Parents ask their children
to be absent from school due to child labor; household chores; and lack of food at home and “school allowance”.
This research will uncover the perceptions of the following: truants of Aguado Elementary School for the School
Year 2019-2020; their parents; their teacher advisers. It will give opportunity on the three facets of perceptions
coming from teachers, pupils and parents to be heard in relation to absenteeism. An ensuing commitment setting
of the three parties will then be staged which will be the cornerstone of an intervention program.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the effect of the remediation program to the opportunity learners of
Felix Amante Senior High School using a collaborative peer tutorial strategy called Tulong Dunong by which
students who garnered the top 10 scores in a weekly test will be given the chance to facilitate remediation activity
to share their knowledge on the topic covered to the opportunity learners (students with 2 and more absences in
a week, students who were excused for the competitions and students who failed in the given examination) with
the guidance of the subject teacher. The study utilized triangulation methods in research by which it used
experimental, descriptive and interview process to determine and validate the effect of the program to the
performance of opportunity leaners. The study showed that through Tulong Dunong, no student got a failed grade
during the First Quarter based on the ECR. Based on the 10 weeks record, MPS in a given exam/quiz focusing
on the opportunity learners have an average increase of 7%. The results also showed that the opportunity
learners registered an average grade of 82%. When it comes to students’ perception, they strongly agreed that
Tulong Dunong program is effective in terms of providing follow up activities and discussions, the student
facilitators are effective in terms of their competence as discussants of the topic and can easily answer their
queries; collaborative approach in remedial is an effective tool with the student to student interaction; the
respondents are motivated to attend the program due to rewards they received such as certificate of completion
and chance to get a high grade. The program as well helps the leaners to master the topic for the week. This
study provides insights in having best practices when it comes to opportunity learners using collaborative
approach.

Rhea Rose M. Abanador, Ana Rose D. Orias & Ma. Janecy S. Reyes

ABSTRACT: This study aims to be able to develop 21st century learners who are capable of producing sound
researches. This specifically sought answers to the following questions: What difficulties do Grade 12 students
experience in Practical Research 1? To what extent do the different factors affect the performance of students in
Practical Research 1? As perceived by the students, how may the difficulties in Practical Research 1 be unraveled
through learning communities? Based on the assessments, what plan of action may be proposed? The
respondents of this study were fifty (50) randomly chosen ABM 12 students who were enrolled in Practical
Research 1. The descriptive-survey method was used in this study. The researcher used questionnaire which
was divided into three parts: difficulties experienced by students, the effect of the different factors to their
performance and students’ perception on how to unravel the difficulties. Weighted mean was utilized to analyze
the assessments of the respondents using the four-point scale. The researchers arrived at the following findings:
Students experienced difficulties in availability of research resources in school, constructing grammatically
correct sentences, working individually and by group and availability of adviser/subject teacher to respond to
queries. They found time management, attitude towards research, availability of sample researches, and
collaboration within the group to affect their academic performance to a very great extent. To unravel these
difficulties, these activities through learning communities were revealed: choosing groupmates they are
comfortable working with; providing a schedule outside class hours; working out a more flexible arrangement to
meet and work by group; using communication technologies for collaborative purpose; and providing rewarding
activities as a group while acknowledging individual contributions. Based on the assessments, an action plan
strengthening learning communities to unravel the difficulties in Practical Research 1 was developed.

USE OF INTERACTIVE LECTURE DEMONSTRATION WITH INTERACTIVE SIMULATION IN

ENHANCING STUDENTS’ CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING IN PHYSICS

Ma. Kristine Tamayo

ABSTRACT: Literature abounds in the effectiveness of experiential learning in science particularly in basic
education. However, in the Philippines, it is not uncommon that science is still being taught by traditional lecture.
There is a scarcity of laboratory materials especially in government schools because of a large number of
students enrolled. One way to address this is by interactive simulation in teaching high school science. This is
an action research aimed at improving teaching Grade 9 science through the use of interactive simulation. The
first round is carried out based on the PDSA cycle. The research environment was a public high school in a major
city in the Philippines. The participants were 2 intact classes who were given instruction in basic physics for 4
weeks. Eight interactive simulations covering topics on motion, forces and mechanical energy were used. Pre-
and post-tests showed that there is a significant improvement on students’ conceptual understanding on these
topics. In addition, lived experiences were also presented as each stage of the cycle is undertaken.

USE OF MANIPULATIVES IN CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION ON STUDENTS’ NUMERACY

SKILLS

Joyce L. Ciocon

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to improve the mastery level of the students in performing the four basic
operations in mathematics using manipulatives in teaching. Employing an experimental research design, a
purposive sampling was used to elicit information from the 22 participants out of 213 Grade 7 students in
Cansilayan National High School, School Year 2018-2019. Results showed that the pre-test results in the four
basic operations in Mathematics of the participants of the study falls below the mastery level. Among the four
basic operations, the addition operation got the highest mastery level while division got the lowest level of
mastery. post-test results of the participants of the study showed that addition and subtraction obtained the
highest mastery level which is now above the standard. On the other hand, though post-test results on
multiplication and division are higher than their pre-test results, it still falls below the standard. Moreover, a
significant difference exists between the pre-test and post-test scores of the students after the intervention using
manipulatives was made, thus the use of manipulatives can really help the teachers in transferring abstract
concepts into a meaningful learning experience.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to examine the mediating roles of Mathematics anxiety and Mathematics self-
concept with the influence of teacher-student relation, classroom management and sense of belongingness on
National Achievement Test (NAT) performance in mathematics as basis for enhancement program. The study
utilized descriptive-predictive research design employing structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. Four
hundred fifty six (456) Grade 8 students from 18 public secondary schools of DepEd Batangas City were chosen
purposively as subjects of the study. Data were collected using the modified questionnaire from Uysal. Findings
revealed that teacher-student relation, sense of belongingness and Math anxiety were predictors of NAT
performance in Mathematics. Mathematics anxiety fully and partially mediated the effects of teacher-student
relation and NAT performance as well as the effects of sense of belongingness and NAT performance. The
limitation of the study is that the NAT itself was not provided as reference due to the confidentiality of the test.
The analysis and interpretation of data were limited to responses in the questionnaire. The study employed
structural equation modeling (SEM) technique which is new to this research. It was used to predict relationships
and mediators from the given variables.

ABSTRACT: Schools are now challenged to make innovations on teaching approaches towards a more learner-
centered approach to learning. Student-centered instruction (SCI) is an instructional approach in which influence
the content, activities, materials, and pace of learning. This learning model places the student (learner) in the
center of the learning process. In this study, it focused on the effect of student-centered instructions on learners’
motivation and achievement. The respondents of the study were the grade 11 students in the Senior High School
Program of Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School taking up Earth and Life Science subject, under
Academic and TVL track. The study used a pre-experimental and a descriptive research design. The data
gathered were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that the student-centered
instructions have significantly increased academic performance of students as indicated by the significant
increase of the posttest from the pretest. Student-centered instructions are certainly employed by science
teachers in Earth and Life Science lessons as indicated by the experiences shared by students. Students strongly
agree that student-centered instructions stimulate their interests in learning and enhances their understanding,
knowledge and performance in the subject thereby improving their academic achievement. So it is highly
recommended to continue the use not only in Earth and Life lessons but also to other subject areas.

MATERIALS

Cristina M. Ben, Lerma V. Peña, & Alona Verdad

ABSTRACT: The research aimed to determine the effectiveness of utilizing blended learning in solving word
problems involving statistics and probability particularly the use of video-based instructions available in YouTube
and teacher made test in teaching Mathematics among grade 6 students using the experimental design of
research. A descriptive method of research was utilized to determine the learners’ performance using video-
based integrated instructions in the classroom by conducting pre-test and post-test. Based on the result of the
study, students claimed that thru video-based learning they get the lesson easily, made them focus on the lesson
and listen attentively. They found the use of video-based instruction more motivating as it catch their interest
more aside from enjoying the lesson and make fun by participating interactively. Teachers perceived that
students performed poorly in solving word problems in Statistics and Probability following the teaching strategy
of not using video-based learning approach. Students were observed to be less attentive and needed several
examples to understand fully the lesson and sample word problems. Understanding the word problems were also
limited using lecture and discussion strategy.In this research, the proposed intervention was the use of video-
based learning in solving word problem involving statistics and probability in Grade 6. The learning platform to
be used is technology-mediated video-based instruction. These videos are available in YouTube and to be linked
during discussion. Meanwhile, the teacher-made video-based pedagogic approach will be also made accessible
to the students.

HIGH SCHOOL

Albert D. Escuvania

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to address the problem of high dropped –out rate of Binan Integrated National
High School from S.Y. 2016 to 2018. Based on the data, there were fifty-six (56) drop-out students last School
Year 2016-2017and fifty-one (51) for School Year 2017-2018 which 25.5% of it were from Grade 7 level. Biñan
Integrated National High School have become worried in monitoring of students because in many institutions and
organizations particularly in schools, monitoring of students is a very important factor especially in identifying
every individual coming in and out of the school every day. Based on the reports of Class Advisers, one of the
reason for dropping out is the difficulty to communicate with parents since the parents are working. Grade 7
contributed 0.71 increase of dropped students from 2016 to 2018.Since there will be a system in students
monitoring of attendace .DORP Committee used the printed reports in giving actions. Parents were automatically
notified through the SMS Notification. Grade 7 were consist of 18 sections wherein the Key Teacher encountered
difficulty in consolidating absences from each section. Most of the time parents were not informed about the
absences of his/her child. Part of the system is the list of identified students who are frequently absentees and
to determine SARDOs and DORP Team should make necessary actions immediately. One hundred thirty five
Grade 7 students from the three sections were selected to be the participants in Pilot Testing. All of them were
given permission by their parents to participate in the research. Eighty (87) parents who were present during
the PTCA meeting assessed the efficiency of the system. The three sections who are using RFID system have
a good percentage of attendance. To really lessen the drop-out it was suggested to develop an infrastructure for
the smooth implementation of RFID System.

Lorelie G. Camat & Roselle A. Vanguardia

ABSTRACT: The main objective of the study is to assess the level of reading ability of intermediate pupils in
terms of basic skills such as noting details; getting the general significance of a selection; predicting the outcome
of a given event and making inferences; reading to follow precise directions; and speed and comprehension. It
utilized a descriptive method of research to assess the level of reading ability of intermediate pupils specifically
under five basic skills. English teachers and school administrators, therefore, may consider the results of this
study in the teaching-learning process in order for their clienteles to be linguistically inclined. School heads and
faculty members, on the other hand, shall clasp their hands together in crafting school intervention programs and
projects that will cater to the needs of their end recipients such as Reading Remediation Programs, Literary
measures and the like. Considering the upshots, the researcher concluded that intermediate pupils had poor
level of reading comprehension in terms of five basic skills in reading. The innovative reading exercises were
proposed to enhance reading ability in terms of five basic skills of intermediate pupils. The ability to read and
comprehend what has been read place an important role in a student’s academic life. Therefore, teaching reading
in every school should be given greater attention to develop more the reading skills of pupils. It is believed that
the motivational effects of this approach spearheaded the students’ desire to learn better and certainly help
pupils’ improve their skills in reading.

UTILIZATION OF WIRELESS MULTI-LINGUAL SIGN LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR FOR HEARING

IMPAIRED LEARNERS

Minguela S. Ting

ABSTRACT: This paper explains the importance of Sign Language in everyday communication of learners with
hearing impairment. Sign Language is a communication method between the hearing and hearing impaired using
gestures and facial expressions ( Houghton Mifflin Com pany, 2000). But, in inclusive setting where their peers
could not understand and know how to sign it becomes very difficult for them to interact in their everyday lesson.
Multi-Lingual Sign Language Translator for Hearing Impaired Learners was developed to enhance their interest
in communicating with their regular peers. Quantitative research method was applied in the study. It is a way of
collecting and analysing data obtained from different sources. It involves the use of computational, statistical,
and mathematical tools to derive results. Based on the result of pre and post evaluation the effectiveness on the
academic performance of hearing impaired learners using the device ranges only from 50 % to 70% due to
unavailability of the device to be used by the respondents. The researcher came up with the pilot testing of 2
devices among the respondents . The researcher met challenges on the results of the effectiveness on the use
of WLSLT by the hearing impaired learners in inclusive setting. So, the researcher further recommends that
government needs to enforce the various legislations enacted for the benefit of persons with disabilities such as
the Disabilities Act (2003) and the Persons with Disabilities Amendment Bill (2007) which states that earning
institutions shall take into account the special needs of persons with disabilities with respect to special services
(device/gadgets for communication) and other similar considerations.

PAPERLESS ASSESSMENT

Jexson A. Dimayuga, Teofilo R. Garibay & Menchie M. Cepillo

ABSTRACT: Many educators complain of having unmanageable tons of paper works along with their regular or
excessive teaching loads. Despite the presence of educational online platforms, problems like slow internet
connection and zero mobile data hindered the beneficial quality of technology advancements. Relatively, this
study aims to propose a more efficient yet inexpensive form of assessment that will help solve the burden of
checking tons of test papers or quizzes. The study used the descriptive - quantitative method and experimental
methods of research. Descriptive-normative method was applied in determining the forms of assessment, and
identifying the advantages and disadvantages of the App. Quantitative research on the other hand, was utilized
in features and extent of its usability through weighted mean scores derived from questionnaires distributed
among 10 teachers and 35 students. Experimental method then, was employed through actual testing of the App
among 35 Grade 12 ICT students. The following findings were noted; 1) No teachers in AASMNHS used offline
mobile assessment, online assessment was frequently utilized, traditional assessments like paper and pencil
test, graded oral recitation and performance-based were the most common forms of assessment used; features,
process and results of paperless mobile assessment app were described as accessible, accurate, reliable, fast
and operational and provides immediate feedbacking. Likewise, it was revealed from weighted and composite
means that using JAVA mobile assessment app helped to a great extent in minimizing the reproduction of test
papers and in making checking of papers fast and easier. Though limited only to option type of test, still, the
developed App could bring great contribution toward stress-free assessment of learning.

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this research was to assess the learner diversity of a special science class
in Balayan National High School in terms of students’ gender and multiple intelligence profile. This diversity was
utilized in the teaching and learning of concepts in Advanced Chemistry subject among Grade 10 students
through differentiated instruction. The study utilized mixed method research design wherein survey
questionnaires and semi-structured interview were used. The consent of students and parents was sought before
the data gathering and confidentiality was assured. The result revealed that female dominated the class. Most of
the learners are bodily kinesthetic, visual, spatial and musical in nature based on their profile. Naturalistic
intelligence shows positive correlation with verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical intelligence. On the other
hand, there is an inverse relationship between intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence. The study did not
used experimental approach since it only identified and utilized multiple intelligence in teaching Chemistry. The
result of the study can be a basis in employing learning preferences and styles in teaching. Mathematical
modeling is use in explaining the relationship of the variable using statistical software.

Ella Mae S. Aranas

ABSTRACT: This research paper entitled “Utilizing the Four Types of Graphic Organizer in Understanding Key
Concepts and Students Competency in Araling Panlipunan” examined the effectiveness of the four types of
graphic organizer such as hierarchical, conceptual, sequential and cyclical and its relationship to students
performance such as the level of understanding key concepts in terms of identifying facts, parallelism of concepts,
series of events and clauses and students’ competency in terms of remembering, understanding, applying,
analyzing, evaluating and creating. The study found out that the effectiveness of using hierarchical, conceptual
and sequential graphic organizers is significantly related to students’ performance in understanding key concepts
in terms of series of events as well as conceptual organizer is significantly related to the performance of students
in understanding parallelism of concept. As to students’ competencies, the use of conceptual graphic organizer,
sequential graphic organizer and cyclical graphic organizer is significantly related to students’ performance in
terms of remembering. Moreover, the use of sequential graphic organizer is significantly related to analyzing and
evaluating. Based from the findings of the study, the following conclusions were derived that the hypothesis that
there is no significant relationship between perceived level of effectiveness in utilizing four types of graphic
organizers and the performance of the students in understanding key concepts and students’ competency in
Araling Panlipunan is rejected, other two hypothesis were not also sustained.

Keywords: graphic organizers, students’ competency, understanding key concepts, and Visual presentation

VIRTUAL LABORATORY AS AN ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY IN TEACHING

ELECTROCHEMISTRY

Mark Philip A. Echon

ABSTRACT: The additional feature of K-12 curriculum is the two-year senior high school. This additional years
in basic education aims to give every student an opportunity to receive quality education that is globally
competitive based on a pedagogically sound curriculum that is at par with international standards. But upon its
implementation, the senior high school faces enormous challenges. One identified problems in our school,
GJCSHS, is the insufficient lab materials and equipment which are needed to address competencies that requires
lab experiment. As the sole public school in City of Imus that offers STEM, we are unfortunate of not having
sufficient lab materials but privileged enough to have computer laboratories and internet access. Thus, to address
the lack of lab materials I compare virtual lab with hands-on lab to know if it can be used as an alternative strategy
in teaching electrochemistry. This research used experimental method with two-group design in which the Grade
12 STEM learners of GJCSHS were divided into hands-on lab and virtual lab group. To gather the data, a
validated researcher-made test was administered to the two groups. The obtained raw data was treated with t-
test analysis with 0.05 level of significance and the learning gain of the learners were also computed. After
analysis it was found out that the learners gained 64.12% learning after performing virtual lab, this result is
significantly the same to 64.89% learning gain of the learners who performed traditional lab. The result of the
post test also suggest that traditional lab and virtual lab will give the same level of learning to students. Virtual
lab is beneficial if you have clear goals on what you wanted to achieve especially if your target is to improve
learners’ conceptual learning and design skills. On the other hand, if your goal is to foster not just the conceptual
learning and design skills but also the social and professional skills of the learners, it is recommended to use
traditional lab. To have a further information about virtual laboratory it is recommended to study its effectiveness
using other science learning competencies and use samples from different strands.

VISUAL LITERACY AND SHORT TEXTS COMPREHENSION AMONG JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS

Jinkee D. Baran & Charlyn C. Satira

ABSTRACT: Visual materials and short messages or texts are an effective means of communication. However,
there seem to be a quandary as to how adept students are in understanding and interpreting them. Thus, this
research is conducted among the junior high school students of Maximino Noel Memorial National High School,
Graje, Guadalupe, Carcar City, Cebu. This study was conducted from June, 2017 to December, 2017 to 240 JHS
students using quantitative descriptive method. A 50-item comprehension test that consisted of 10 questions
each for tables, graphs and charts, instructions and manuals, diagrams, pictorial illustrations, maps, and
notices/common signs, short messages/texts was conducted. It was revealed that the respondents found
comprehension on maps, diagrams, pictorials and illustrations most difficult while found table comprehension as
the easiest. The result also showed a significant difference on the students’ performance along with age and
grade level. However, it did not show any significant difference on their performance along with sex and first
language. The overall performance of the students in their comprehension on visual materials and short
messages or texts was not competent. With this, it is recommended that teachers should share the responsibility
with other educators in making the students understand informational text by using authentic materials that would
depict real-life situations from newspapers, magazines, etc., utilize visual materials, notices, signees, etc. from
various media sources, and provide various activities that would help students learn and practice a skill set that
is independent of content.

VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION

Marvin Jay I. Maming & Jeremiah John T. Bombay

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this research is to identify and compare the vocabulary learning strategies
(VLS) between Academic and TechVoc Senior High School (SHS) students of Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial
National High School (ETTMNHS) for School Year 2018-2019. The study followed the descriptive survey
research design. Respondents of the study included selected Grade Eleven (11) students of ETTMNHS and
were selected via purposive sampling. The primary survey instrument utilized in this study is the localized version
of Vocabulary Learning Strategy (VLS) Scale developed by Jones (2006). Results of the study revealed that the
most common strategy among academic and techvoc students is the social strategy wherein students enhance
their vocabularies by asking questions to their teachers and/or peers. On the other hand, the least strategy that
academic and techvoc students use is the study strategy. Mann-Whitney test revealed that there is no significant
difference between the vocabulary learning strategies of academic and techvoc students. The result of the study
implies the need to strengthen the integration of vocabulary words during discussions specifically in science
subjects. The contribution of this study is deemed substantial because it can be used as a basis for developing
effective and efficient interventions to further improve science instruction in the senior high school level.

Orpha M. Montelijao

ABSTRACT: This action research was conducted to determine the effect of using vocabulary strips as strategy
in improving reading comprehension among Grade 8 learners of La Paz National High School, District III – La
Paz, Schools Division of Iloilo City for School Year 2018-2019. It tried to present the connection between ample
exposure to the unfamiliar words in the reading selection written in vocabulary strips. The participants were given
the teacher-made pre-test and post-test which include 30 difficult words from the three selections covered within
one grading period. To determine the learners’ performance in their reading comprehension, the mean was
employed. Results revealed that prior to the exposure of the vocabulary strips, the learners had generally low
reading comprehension as indicated by their low mean scores in the pre-test. However, after the exposure to
the vocabulary strips, the learners generally achieved a high reading comprehension as indicated by their high
mean scores in the post-test. Hence, it was concluded that using vocabulary strips as an intervention is effective
in improving reading comprehension among learners. For this reason, the use of vocabulary strips in teaching
and reading among teachers is recommended; not only in the English subject, but also in other subject areas;
however, vocabulary from the selection should be carefully considered so as to provide correct meaning of the
word as used in the context.

Emily B. Hernandez

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop, evaluate and determine the utilization of strategies on within and
across curriculum integration in teaching and learning at Taysan National High School. The study employed the
qualitative type of research using the thematic analysis approach where the participants’ responses were
examined for re-occurring themes. These themes or patterns were then used to make reports about the
experience under investigation. It also utilized interview and focused group discussion to 32 teacher-participants
from different grade level and subject areas. The results of the study revealed that most of the teacher-
participants shared a wide array of awareness on definitions, strategies, methods and significance of within and
across curriculum integration but uncertainty was evident on the application of the approach. Moreover, most
participants perceived to apply integration in the application part of the lesson planning where students are
encouraged to have group activities and differentiated instruction. Through the challenges experienced, varied
pedagogy strategies and development programs were recommened to sustain and monitor the desired outcome
of the approach. This promises a great improvement in the teaching-learning process and on the students’
academic performance. The well planned and creative structure of the lesson plan caters the diverse nature of
the child where their varied skills, interest, values and personality. It is believed that the motivational effects of
these designed strategies spearhead the students’ desire to learn better and the encrypting effect of the activities
could probably help in the students’ retention of the lesson in their memory.

the significant difference in pretest and posttest scores on the level of proficiency of the students in terms of
analytical, logical reasoning and problem solving skills. The computed value in all higher order thinking skills
were less than 0.05 which indicates the significant difference between the mean pretest and posttest scores in
all the skills using the WNQ (Watch-Note-Question) Method. This study was conceptualized by the researcher to
bridge the gap between pedagogy and technology in teaching and learning Mathematics. It will also gain interest
to some educators to consider blended learning as a powerful tool in teaching mathematics efficiently and
effectively.

CONTEXT OF COMMUNICATION

Jayson V. Erni

ABSTRACT: This study determined and analyzed the common morphological processes using the terminologies
used in the game DOTA and how these are applied in the actual social context of communication based on the
framework of Kalima (2007). The quantitative-qualitative descriptive-correlational method was used to gathered
data relative to the study. The findings of the study reveals that there were different variations of word formation
presented in the language of internet games specifically in DOTA games and in there were words that are used
in different expressions such as compliment or sarcasm when communicating with friends or classmates . This
shows that the involvement of students in internet games help them to discover new vocabulary and sometimes
used in the actual communication or social context that affects the students’ capability in developing their
vocabulary and sometimes use as other term in communicating with others in the actual environmentThe
research study was limited in identifying the morphological processes used in forming the words and the terms
of the game that the students used in the actual social context of communication. Teachers can apply these
words to engage with the students and this can help to make the discussion interesting and help other students
to gain awareness with the used and meaning of the online terms. The study was created to look in the origin of
the new words that the students learned not only in the classroom but also in the actual environment through
various forms like the online games specifically DOTA that students now a days they were really engaged.

WRITING DIFFICULTIES OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (HUMSS) LEARNERS IN

PHILIPPINE POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE

Ena Josel F. Portillo

ABSTRACT: Writing is a very intricate skill to acquire among the four language skills. According to Gomaa
(2010), writing is the most difficult language skill. This qualitative study was conducted to determine the writing
difficulties committed by Humanities and Social Sciences (HumSS) learners and analyze how they develop a
topic in Philippine Politics and Governance (PhPoliGov). Participants of the study were the Grade 11 learners of
Morong NHS, Morong, Rizal, who took up the said subject for S.Y. 2019-2020 in its First Semester. Twelve (12)
learners from the six (6) HumSS classes were considered using Systematic Sampling Technique. This study
employed Grounded Theory approach to examine the written output of HumSS learners using codes. Findings
revealed that most of the participants used Exposition, Narration, Analogy, and Examples in developing a topic.
It is also unveiled that the most common difficulties committed by the participants are Unnecessary Shift in Tense,
Ambiguous Pronoun Reference, Loose Sentence, Erroneous Grammar, Improper Use of Diction, Sentence
Fragment, and Dangling Modifier. Remarkably, most participants have used political concepts inappropriately in
the three phases of coding. This implied that in order for HumSS learners to provide a bigger picture for
discussions of political issues and concepts, effective writing discourse must be first established

Armando D. Ison, Yolanda Dela Cruz-Lumanog & Sally P. Genuino

ABSTRACT: The study aims to propose the use of an android free grading application ZIPGRADE which turn
the phone into an optical grading machine to be used by public school teachers as to provide teachers with an
immediate feedback system for grading and analysing students’ achievement through the given formative and
summative assessment. The application automatically checks students’ papers, produces important information
such as students’ score, mean, standard deviation and detailed test item analysis. The data that was used came
from the 33 academic teachers handling grade 11 and 12 academic subjects. The applications was pilot tested
by one department last year until this was fully implemented for all the teachers in our school. The application
was given to them, explained how it works and let them used it to check and analyse the periodical exams of the
students during the first quarter of this first semester. The teachers were later on asked to evaluate the program
in terms of efficiency, reliability and accessibility. The criteria used in this evaluation tool are based on
International Standardization Organization (ISO-9116) standard reference for quality. Findings of the study
showed that all the teachers are very satisfied with the important features provided by the use of the android
application specifically in terms of efficiency, reliability and accessibility. Since teachers are using the old practice
of manually checking students’ papers and the test item analysis, they find the application very useful and
beneficial both for the teachers and the learners in assessing their own respective achievements. They find the
application as a must to have application for all the teachers and that all are hoping to utilize the full version which
includes other features which was not included in its free version.

FULL CIRCLE COGENERATIVE COLLABORATION TO IMPROVE STAKEHOLDERS LEVEL OF

PARTICIPATION IN BRIGADA ESKWELA PROGRAM

Joanna Marie O. Yocampo

ABSTRACT: The Brigada Eskwela program of the Department of Education is one of the most sustainable
projects that highlight the participation of the stakeholders. Bagacay National High School has been blessed with
different stakeholders that support the school but the level of participation is low. To address this, Full Circle
Cogenerative Collaboration program under a descriptive-quantitative research came to view. This Basic
Education Research Funded program helped to solve the percentage and level of participation of BNHS
stakeholders. Under the F3C program, the school implemented the following interventions Cogeneration or the
specified task mapping, Bandillo which is the home to home marketing, Powerhouse or the task delegation,
Hotline – the center communication system that highlights various ease of contact and prioritization, Crown, that
gives credit and awards to key persons an stakeholders and Circle which is the inclusion of Brigada in the school
quarterly monitoring and placement of Brigada orientated activities to school policy and guide such as the School
Improvement Plan. The programs included their own activities that all lead to increase the sense of ownership
and drive of the stakeholders in the Brigada proper from the planning, implementation and monitoring. A survey
and interview tool was used to measure the effects of the said innovations. The result of the research showed
that compared to the 2017 Brigada with 63.46% percentage of participation, 2018 F3C attained 95.62% of the
targeted stakeholders which is 32.16% higher. The program also resulted in a 4.611 level of acceptance which
falls as extremely accepted with School Tour, Bandillo and Care for Stakeholders as the highest. It also showed
an average 4.517 level of participation under 15 indicators that has a significant difference to the 2017 level of
4.247. The program also had a highly positive correlation between the percentage of volunteers and the level of
participation. This data implies that a cogenerative environment on school – community partnership is most
essential in creating a productive and genuine partnership between stakeholders. Furthermore, the paper
highlights the need for continual monitoring and task specification on endeavours to match the stakeholder
capability to school activities such as Brigada. Lastly, this approach for community development builds a strong
foundation on engagement that will increase school level and therefore cater to the learners of the institution.

SCHOOL HEADS ON THEIR ROLES AND FUNCTIONS AS VIEWED BY THEIR TEACHERS

IN WEST II DISTRICT: AN ASSESSMENT

Reuben A. Sual

ABSTRACT: School heads are considered as the central source of leadership in the school. Hence, more than
a manager they act as leaders. Leaders have a huge impact to teachers’ development more so students’
achievement. As time of progresses their roles have dramatically changed. Now, they are not only concentrating
in administrative and instructions but they assumed now, a quite complex roles and functions. Hence, school
heads must have clear perspective with regards to the inherit tasks attached to their positions. They must
constantly assess themselves and be opened in subjecting themselves to external assessment as well. This is
to ensure that every aspect of their functions is fulfilled. With the premise stated, this study was conducted. Its
primordial purpose is to validate the assessment made by the schools head in terms of discharging their functions
through teachers’ perspective. Descriptive research was the design utilized specifically Assessment study which
has primary purpose of merely of knowing the status of the phenomenon without rendering any judgments or
actions. Based on the data gathered, the researcher found out that school heads in West II were fulfilling their
roles and functions as they mostly responded often and very often on their self – assessment. However, as the
latter validated through teachers’ perspective it was found out their were instance that school heads seldom to
discharge functions especially in class observation and other supervisory functions, yet mostly responded often
which shows the school heads were fulfilling their roles and functions primordial to their position most of the time.
Hence on that note, the following recommendation were formulated; Division Office initiates regular validation
and monitoring of school heads functions and roles regularly for greater accountability. The assessment of school
heads’ performance must not only be done by their immediate superior but their co teachers in schools and if
possible, students may be included. 360-degree assessment on school heads’ performance is recommended.

the final decision making authority. Based on the composite mean of 4.54, it connotes that the respondents claim
that the level of administrative competence of school heads in terms of instructional development is very high.
Based on the composite mean of 4.52, it connotes that the respondents claim that the level of administrative
competence of school heads in terms of staff development is high. Statistical test showed that there is significant
relationship between the preferred leadership styles of the respondents and their profile variables at 0.05 level
of significance. This finding is parallel to the claim of Barki & Hartwick (2011) that preferred leadership styles do
not vary much among persons of similar status and age ranges. Based on the result of statistical test, there is no
significant correlation between the school heads’ leadership styles and the level of administrative competence
based on the p-value that is greater than 0.05. This study was undertaken to determine the Leadership Styles
and Administrative Competence of School Heads in the Division of Lipa and thereby provide input to management
program.

SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT NEEDS ANALYSIS OF TEACHERS AS RESEARCHERS:

GROUND WORK FOR PROJECT LAMP (Leading in Action-Research Making Practices)

Jennifer M.Oestar & Crystal C. Marzo

ABSTRACT: The study aims to determine the level of competence of teachers as researchers, as well as
determining the factors that affect them in action researching with an end of developing a program for enhancing
knowledge, skills and engagement in making action researches. The quantitative research specifically, the
descriptive design was used. It was conducted on the second congressional district of Quezon composing of
elementary and secondary teachers. The results revealed that 1) 32 out of 38 skills in action research writing
landed on the middle of the bracket of the competent level. However, six skills landed on the less competent
level. It has been noted that teacher-researchers are weak in choosing the tools for data analysis and
interpretation, encoding quantitative and qualitative data and interpreting results from software. They were also
less competent in publishing their completed action researches. 2) Knowledge in the various aspects of action
research making revealed as the greatest factor affecting their engagement in action researching. 3) Project
LAMP was developed based on the findings of the study. The respondents were limited to retrieved
questionnaires from the districts of Dolores, San Antonio, Candelaria, Sariaya and Lucena. The findings of the
research may be important to teachers and administrators since it will serve as a base line for the status of action
research making in the district. The output may be used to strengthen the competencies and engagement in
researching since the developed program offers activities for intensified research practices.

Mark Jayson G. Espinosa

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to propose core competencies for school leaders using mixed method which
involved the stakeholders composed of the practicing principals, the graduates of the educational management
master’s program who are practicing administrators, and selected graduate faculty of the educational
management master’s program of the only Center of Excellence for Teacher Education in Dasmariñas. After the
conduct of the study, it was revealed that all the suggested competencies from the school heads during the
interview were rated highly important by both the faculty and the graduates. In the comparison between the
ratings of the faculty and the graduates, the ratings of the faculty and the graduates had significant differences
only in few of the competencies under each course and their ratings had no significant differences in most of the
competencies. Considering only the competencies in which the faculty and graduates had the same ratings, the
study enhanced the core competencies under the six different areas patterned after the major courses of
educational management master’s program. Under Systems Analysis in Education, the following competencies
are considered: Strengthen community relation through school plan; Demonstrate collaboration in the planning
and implementation of school programs and projects; Participate actively in social affairs; and Assess every
aspect of school in decision-making. In the light of the findings, it is concluded that all the competencies were
considered either by all or majority of the respondent school heads, all the considered competencies were rated
highly important by respondent faculty and graduates, in the comparison between the ratings of the faculty and
graduates, only in few of the competencies under each course the ratings of the faculty and the graduates had
significant differences and in most of the competencies their ratings had no significant differences, and
considering only the competencies in which the faculty and graduates had the same ratings.

AN ASSESSMENT OF THE PROJECT 555 IN THE FIVE LEARNING AREAS IN RELATION TO

PRINCIPAL’S ADMINISTRATIVE PERFORMANCE AND PUPILS’ ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT:
BASIS FOR MODULE DEVELOPMENT

Ma. Teresa G. Semino

ABSTRACT: The study generally dealt with the assessment of the Project 555 (5 Item Tests for 5 Days in 5
Learning areas) in relation to principal’s administrative performance and pupils’ academic achievement of grade
6 pupils in the city schools division of Bacoor, with the end view of establishing module development program for
policy recommendation that will help better school performance and increase the overall performance of the
division. This study used a descriptive correlational research design. The study was made in the City Schools
Division of Bacoor involving three (3) districts, 15 principals or school heads, 15 schools, 75 Grade 6 teachers
and 600 Grade 6 pupils. The sampling method used was stratified random sampling. Conclusions were derived
by the researcher based on the findings of the study. Project 555 is most effective in improving academic
performance of Grade 6 pupils in Filipino and Araling Panlipunan; it is least effective in helping improve Math,
Science and English. Grade 6 pupils are most proficient in Filipino and Araling Panlipunan. Principals’
administrative function in their implementation of Project 555 is most effective in handling financial resources and
least effective in physical resources. Principals’ administrative performance in handling financial resources of
Project 555 can significantly predict pupils’ grades in English, Math, Filipino and Araling Panlipunan but not in
Science. Project 555 is an effective help in improving pupils’ academic performance in English, Science and
Math. The proposed module improvements need to be implemented as soon as possible. Recommendations are
endorsed by the researcher in light of the findings and conclusions already discussed. Project 555 should
prioritize its time and resources in improving the academic performance of pupils in Math and Science, the two
subjects with the consistent lowest scores in the NAT and TIMMS.

TEACHING STRUGGLING MASTERY:

A REFLECTIVE REVIEW ON RESHUFFLING PROGRAM FOR TEACHERS

MERLY J. SARSOZO

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to look into the different experiences of teachers under reshuffling
program. The co-researchers of the study were 4 selected teachers working in Post Elementary School in
Calamba City. Their dedication and passion to their work were immeasurable because the challenges and
difficulties they encountered through their everyday lives in teaching were countless and untold. In this study the
researcher used qualitative method as its research design, and phenomenology as an approach. The study
utilized a set of a self- made questions asked to the co-researchers. Using the guide questions were equipped
the researcher to further conduct her interview in video record type. The findings revealed that teachers found
very challenging and had a difficulties on tasks in the execution of the program. They found teaching stressful
since they need to adjust in everything from their colleagues to their pupils, from their preparation on teaching
packages. They learned something about their uneasy task that once on the field of study they need to do their
level best for the welfare of the pupils regardless how difficult it was. In addition, teachers are very resourceful
on how to deal problems they encountered under reshuffling program. Elementary teachers are generalist so
they are solve-problem makers no matter what. As it is, being a teacher is not just executing the learning plan,
but teachers carry the role of the second parent of the learners. They should portray an image of confidence,
strong personality, positive outlook in life and accomplished all the task the best they can to answer the child’s
need. Furthermore, teachers show the right attitude towards the program although suffering the other side of
their lives. They have the good values that help them to the realization of the program.

ABSTRACT: This study assessed the educational management operation practices of public secondary school
administrators in the Division of Gingoog City for the school year 2017- 2018. It also determined problems
encountered by the public secondary school administrators in their educational management operations.
Descriptive method of research was employed using a questionnaire adopted with minor modification from the
study of Antonio (2002) which was patterned from Rivera (1994), the task areas of school management. Findings
revealed the extent of practice of public secondary school administrators in their educational management
operations as assessed by themselves and by the teachers is in great extent in all areas, namely: instructional,
teacher services, student-centered services management; financial and physical means and school, home and
community involvement. The topmost problems met by the school administrators in their educational
management are as follows: No available funds for maintenance of school building and classroom and difficulty
in encouraging students to increase their study habits. This study would provide them feedback on the
educational management operations of principals in school management and a source guide in rating their
performance appraisal system. This will guide appropriate authorities to determine what in- and – out of school
training public secondary school administrators’ needs to ensure performance and the administrators will use the
results also as a reference for promotion of teachers- in charge to head teachers or principals.

PROPOSED INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP GUIDE TOWARD IMPROVING

ANNEX/EXTENSION SCHOOLS’ PERFORMANCES

Ronald M. Enriquez

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to propose an instructional leadership guide towards improving annex/extension
schools’ performance in the First District of Oriental Mindoro. This is a qualitative-quantitative study which
employed a mixed method that combined descriptive design with empirical surveys and interviews with
documentary analyses for the collection of qualitative data to adequately address the research objectives. Based
on the result, the ability of school heads to effectively exercise the principle of empowerment under the School-
Based Management (SBM) Program is the primary reason why they could still cope up and perform as expected.
The empowerment they execute gives them the chance to delegate duties and functions which help them perform
other duties which they could not deliver all by themselves. Such result strengthen the study of Khattri, Ling &
Jha (2010) who estimated the effect of school-based management on student performance in the Philippines
using the administrative dataset of all public schools in 23 school districts over a 3-year period, 2003-2005. At
present, there are a few number of annex/extension schools aspiring to make an image of their own separate
and distinct from their mother high schools, which means that all that they could achieve heavily rests on the
ability, knowledge, skills and patience of school heads to face the challenges posed to them by the term
instructional leadership. It is evident that the efficiency in the performance of management and supervisory
functions of head teachers would directly spell out success and achievements for secondary schools to keep
pace with development that support the thrusts of the national government through educative services.

EXTENT OF UTILIZATION OF LITERATURE AS ESSENTIAL STRATEGY IN TEACHING

ENGLISH

Belinda Valencia Manigbas, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: This study focused on the literature as essential strategy in teaching English. Literature plays a
pivotal role in supporting, sustaining and developing literacy and language learning. As teachers we know that it
is impossible to separate language or literacy learning from literature. Children learn language that is relevant
and meaningful for their current and future social interactions through talking, listening, reading and writing.
Diverse forms of literature presented to children can engage and appeal to a vast range of learner types and
levels of appreciation. The findings attested to the fact that viewing as a springboard through audio visual aids
and printed materials is important in education system. They are those devices which are used in classrooms to
encourage teaching learning process and make it easier and interesting. They are the best tool for making
teaching effective and the best dissemination of knowledge .So there is no doubt that technical devices have
greater impact in developing language competence. This implies that the English teachers of Paaralang Sentral
ng Mataasnakahoy religiously comply with the Department of Education orders and regulations on instructions
and curriculum implementations. Furthermore, they are abreast with the current trends in language teaching.
This can be gleaned from the results of a very great extent in all the domains of the language competence set
by Department of Education as reflected in the Teacher’s Guide.

EFFECTIVENESS OF SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL IN STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY FOR

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN THE DIVISION OF IMUS CITY, CAVITE

Mark Julius F. Balagtas

ABSTRACT: One of the concerns in the field of statistics is the ‘way it is taught’. Many students, both in primary
and in junior and senior high school levels, perceive that statistics is a very difficult subject. The study utilized the
descriptive survey design for the acceptability of the material. This approach is appropriate wherever the object
of any class varies among themselves and one is interested in knowing the extent to which different conditions
obtain among these objects. The findings showed that the respondents assessed the acceptability of the
supplementary statistics and probability workbook for Grade in 11 is acceptable with an overall computed mean
of 4.21. The analysis showed a p value of 0.000 which is less than 0.05. It means that there is a significant
difference between the pre-test and post-test of the students who used the supplementary material. The analysis
showed a p value of 0.007 which is less than 0.05. It means that there is a significant difference between the pre-
test and post-test of the students who did not use the supplementary material. The analysis showed a p value of
0.398 which is greater than 0.05. We fail to reject the null hypothesis. It means that there is no significant
difference on the pre-test between the group who utilized the material and who did not utilize the material. The
analysis showed a p value of 0.000 which is less than 0.05. It means that there is a significant difference on the
post-test between the group who utilized the material and who did not utilize the material. It is suggested that the
developed supplementary statistics and probability workbook for Grade 11 be tried out in other schools in the
different Regions to further evaluate its effectiveness.

life which pushes them to live with their relatives or guardians, among the respondents there are 16% who do
not live with their biological parents, these respondents live with their aunts, uncles, and some are with their
grandparents. According to the students when they were interviewed, their reason for not living with their parents
is because they cannot support them enough to be able to study, most of them live with their relatives helping
them with house chores in exchange of their support for the child’s daily expenses, some would help their
relatives in selling products at the market or on the streets. Though there are other researches regarding leisure
interest, this research aims to help those who are less fortunate, those who are not able to experience active
recreational activity due to poverty.

researcher was experimental. Using WorkOUTS (Worksheets On Uplifting Test Scores ) helps the students be
familiarize and have mastery in basic knowledge and skills in mathematics that will help them in the performance
in more complex mathematics problems and equations that will also help them get higher scores in mathematics
tests. This will increase the promotion rate and decrease retention rate since mathematics are the commonly
failed subjects of the students. This help the school to improve NAT result in mathematics always got the lowest
score in mathematics. At .05 level of significant, the computed value is greater that the critical value that led to
the rejection of the Null Hypothesis. Thus, there is a significant relationship between the use of WorkOUTS

ABSTRACT: One of the major concerns among teachers in Bagbag National High School are ways to improve
of the assessment of the students. From the previous school year results of the Learning-Outcome Assessment
of grade 8 students, it shows that students got 53.65% in their Mean Percentage Score, which is lower than the
implemented average MPS in BNHS, which is 70%. The study used a teacher-made multiple choice type of test
consisting 20 items with four options each to evaluate the students’ academic performance. The result of pre-
test and post-test of the group of students taught without the use of Science Enhancement Vocabulary Package
is not significantly increase, while the group of students taught with the use of Science Enhancement Vocabulary
Package significantly increased. It implies that Science Enhancement Vocabulary Package can possibly increase
the academic performance of students in the topic Typhoon. On the other hand, the result of the post-tests
between the group of students taught without and with the use of Science Enhancement Vocabulary Package
have significant difference. Furthermore, based on the mean difference between the two groups, students taught
with the use of Science Enhancement Vocabulary Package possess higher mean compare to the students taught
without the use of this Package.

ABSTRACT: This study focused on determining the state of ICT Integration in Gulod Senior High School –
Division of Batangas City. The objectives of this study are: to identify (1) the teachers’ level of computer skills
and knowledge, (2) the level of ICT integration in teaching and learning process in the classroom and (3) the
relationship between the teachers’ level of computer skills and knowledge with the level of ICT integration in
teaching and learning process in the classroom (4) the challenges encountered in the integration of ICT in
teaching – learning process. A descriptive research design was used to accomplish this study. The questionnaire
is distributed to the 35 teachers of Gulod SHS teaching different strands TVL and Academic. The researchers
utilized the instrument from Ghavifekr, et.al (2014) regarding the teachers’ level of computer skills and
knowledge, and the level of ICT integration in teaching and learning process in the classroom. Based on the
findings, most of the teachers have basic level of computer skills and knowledge, and most teachers frequently
use Internet to acquire additional information which they use in the creation of their presentation for their class.
Most teachers utilize their laptop, LCD projector and television to show their materials to students. Thus, this
study indicates that most teachers are more likely to use ICT applications and resources for educational purposes
during the teaching – learning process. It is also evident that the availability of Internet connection would be of
great help in the preparation and integration of ICT - supported lessons for students. This focused on the
determining the state of ICT integration in Gulod Senior High School Batangas City which specifically determines
the relationship between the teachers’ level of computer skills and knowledge with the level of ICT integration in
teaching and learning process in the classroom. This study shows the actual school situation and the challenges
encountered by both learners and teachers in the integration of ICT in classroom. It also helps in realizing the
gap between the teaching strategies implemented by the teachers and the current advance technologies that
could be employed for both TVL and academic strand.

CHIPS + 2C = BINGO : THE MAGIC BEHIND CALSEN STUDENTS’ ACTIVE PERFORMANCE
IN CONIC SECTIONS

Criselda M. De Chavez

ABSTRACT: Educational system in the Philippines has evolved a lot through the years. However, despite the
many modifications in the system, teachers still had the difficulty to find the most effective method that would
raise the mean percentage score (MPS) of students significantly. It is anchored on the Incentive Learning Theory.
BINGO chips as a reward is a motivational tool that encourage students to participate whatever teaching
pedagogies are utilized in the classroom. The main thrust of the study is to determine the effect of BINGO (Best
Initiative in Nurturing Great Outputs) chips in the summative performance of students in conic sections under
constructivism and collaborative approaches. This research is pure experimental and conducted in 34 random
subjects across two sections in Pre-calculus under Stem strand in Calamba City Senior High School in June SY
2019-2020. This research tests the effectiveness of BINGO chips in motivating the students in learning the conic
sections with the utilization of constructivist and collaborative approaches. Data analysis was generated through
SPSS using Independent Sample T-test as statistical tool. Effect size was also determined using Cohen’s D test.
A t-test of equal variances revealed a statistically reliable difference between the mean score of students who
underwent teaching with motivational Bingo chips (mean = 14.54, sd = 2.54 and those who were taught without
the chips (mean = 12.24, sd = 2.56). The BINGO chips were found to be effective in attaining higher test results
among students who underwent treatment compared to those who did not with an effect size of 0.927, a large
effect size according to Cohen’s D test . This result is significant at .05 level. The researcher concluded that this
innovation, the BINGO chips as a motivational tool can be used to significantly improve students’ performance
in learning conic sections when it is combined with constructivism and collaborative approaches. It is
recommended to replicate the study in other areas of learning other than Mathematics.

(MATHEMATI-CAT)
Kristine Mae C. Casalme

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this research was to assess the counting ability and mastery of students
with special needs under Pre-Vocational Programto identify the effectiveness of using Abacus in countingthrough
intervention program. Also, the purpose of the study was to enhance their math ability and for the students to be
ready for other pre-vocational skills that also needed their math ability. The pre-experimental method of research
was used in the study to assess the counting ability of students with Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum
Disorder under Pre-VocationalProgram only. The primary research instrument used in the collection of data
wastest and students' performances record. Data were gathered through conducting pre-test and post-test before
and after treatmentto students and getting the record of students' performances. On the basis of findings obtained
through the analysis of data gathered, students under Pre-Vocational Program have a possibility to count more
number through abacus and can use abacus in order to learn other math skills. It can also help them in their work
in the future since their age is closeto legal age but they need more trainings on practical skills as the condition
of the students are with Intellectual Disability. Based on the findings and conclusions made, the following
recommendations are suggested: those students under Pre-Vocational program must continue to have the
counting intervention in order to count more numbers using abacus and different counters and also students that
are good in counting can use abacus to learn other math skills like using four fundamental operations. It was also
recommended that students must have intervention on applying in real life situations the learning they’ve learn
in the intervention used in this research. The primary purpose of this reseach was to improve the math skills of
students with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder under Pre-Vocational Program of Tagaytay City
Central School for the school year 2019-2020 through Mastery Amplifying and Teaching Hands-on Educational
Mathematics Activity ThroughIntervention – Counting using Abacus Technique(MATHEMATI-CAT).

ABSTRACT: To validate the effectiveness of the 4A’s (Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, Application) teaching
strategy on the implementation of the pedagogical approaches used in the teaching delivery It is a quantitative
type of research and used the experimental method. The one-group-pre-test post-test design was utilized while
the teacher’s made test served as the research instrument. The results obtained that the respondents got the
“did not meet the expectations” rating using the traditional teaching strategy while a rating of “satisfactory” was
determined using the 4A’s teaching strategy. However, it showed that there is a significant difference between
using the two teaching strategies. It has found out that the 4A’s teaching strategy was effective in the mastery
level of the select G10 Computer Systems Servicing learners. In addition, the attitude of the learners in the use
of the 4A’s teaching strategy was evidently high as compared to the traditional approach. There is a maturity
among learners when it comes to the use of the tested teaching method. Therefore, positive learning outcomes
were also achieved from the study. The respondents of the study was limited only the 139 Grade 10 students of
Wenceslao Trinidad Memorial National High School under Computer Systems Servicing area of specialization.
Basically, the study underlies the presumption of the teachers in making stereotyping of the teaching strategies.
It was conducted mainly to validate the effectiveness of the teaching strategy which is the 4A’s (Activity, Analysis,
Abstraction, Application) as a validation in the use of pedagogical approaches in support to the K to 12
implementation. In relevance to the use of pedagogical approaches despite of technological advancement can
give a new perspectives in teaching.

process of teaching and learning to local condition, environment and resources is one of the main features of the
K to 12 program. As stated in Section 10.2 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Republic Act
(RA) 10533, the curriculum shall be contextualized and be flexible enough to enable and allow schools to localize
and enhance the curriculum based on their respective educational and social contexts. Believing that localization
of materials can help improve pupils’ performance, researchers were motivated to conduct this study entitled
“Enhancing Grade Five Pupils’ Performance in EPP-IV Through Localized Materials”. The study primarily aims
to assess pupils’ performance on hands-on activities in EPP-IA and the problems they encountered in performing
hands-on activities. In the conduct of the study, descriptive research design was utilized for it is a research
method that describes the characteristics of the population or phenomenon that is being studied. This
methodology focuses more on the “what” of the research subject rather than the “why” of the research subject.
Data reflected on pupils’ performance during hands-on activities was used as baseline data. The data gathered
were recorded, analyzed and interpreted. Responses were interpreted using frequency and percentage and
weighted mean. Based on the result of the study, having complete materials and tools for hands-on activities is
the indicator that affects pupils’ performance in EPP-IA in the field of making crafts as well as in carpentry. The
study also clearly shows that pupils encounter problems on bringing/insufficiency of materials for activities and
the inability of their parents to provide the materials they need. Based on the findings, it was recommended that
in the absence or insuficiency of materials, localization be implemented. Putting into consideration the materials
and resources available in the community, the use of localized materials deemed to be the best step to address
the problem that concerns availability of materials for activities in EPP-IA. The Proposed intervention Program
portrays the proposed localized materials in EPP-IA to improve pupils’ performance. The use of such localized
materials have been found to be effective as revealed by pupils’ improved performance during activities. It also
encouraged pupils’ greater participation.

to the K to 12 Curriculum Exits (Trabaho, Negosyo, Kolehiyo, and Middle Skills Development). This study used
the mixed method design. Results revealed that majority of the student’s career decision after graduation will
enrol to college/university (63%), followed by find a job (28.2%), enroll to a vocational school (5.6%), have his
own business (1.9%), and some were undecided (0.8%). Findings were utilized by teachers and career
advocates by creating a program that will help the students decide of what to take after graduation. This study
was conducted in Ternate National High School, Division of Cavite Province. The main research participants
were the Grade 12 senior high school students of Ternate National High School, school year of 2018-2019. A
written permission and communication letter will be initially secured from Principal concerned. The schedules of
the interview were pre – arranged by the school principals/ each respondent will be ask several questions
indicated in the interview guide. Through this, the researcher will personally administered and retrieved the
necessary information. Given the results of the study, the researcher suggested to the principal to conduct a one-
day Senior High School Curriculum Exits Fair which would aim to help the second of K to 12 graduates land the
different curriculum exits – Trabaho, Negosyo, Kolehiyo, & Middle Skills Development. The one-day activity
corresponds to Job Fair, Business Fair, and College/University and Vocational School Fair for the students to
decide what career they want after graduation. After the one-day Senior High School Curriculum Exit Fair, the
researcher proposed and conducted another action research study on the impact of the said activity to graduating
students. Furthermore, the second batch of K to 12 graduates are subjects for a tracer study -- to locate and
to know where the students landed after the graduation from high school whether they find a job (Trabaho),
engage into business (Negosyo), enroll to college/university (Kolehiyo), or enroll to a Technical Vocational
school (Middle Skills Development).

Dr. Gina M. Laksamana

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to describe the existing teaching guides used by ALS teachers of DepEd Batangas
Province and its effectiveness in developing concepts and transferring skills to out-of-school children, youths and
adults (OSC/Y/As) was also determined. The study utilized the descriptive research design with researcher -
constructed questionnaire as main data gathering instrument complemented by interviews and focus group
discussion. Responses were gathered among 71 ALS teachers from 37 districts in the Division of Batangas. The
statistical tools used were frequency, weighted and composite means. The findings revealed that the respondents
concurred that the existing teaching guides were unavailable as per current ALS K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum, for learning strand 5-lower elementary. The respondents strongly agreed that the existing session
guides for ALS – lower elementary have not been evident. It needed to be contextualized to help the learners
and teachers to be actively engaged in the teaching-learning activities so that opportunities to learn and relearn
the competencies as part of the major changes in the educational system can be provided. The effectiveness of
the existing session guides was also determined including the problems met in the use of ALS teaching guides.
On the basis of findings, ALS session guides in learning stand 5 – understanding the self and society for lower
elementary be developed for A & E program as an intervention, was proposed to increase the level of
performance of ALS learners. It was recommended that ALS session guides in learning stand 5 – understanding
the self and society for basic literacy program, kindergarten to grade three, be used in the delivery of instruction
and be subjected for future review or enhancement prior to implementation. Proper consultation among
instructional supervisors, looking into the individual components of the session guides may also be conducted to
address the problems met. Lastly, similar studies may be conducted on the other criteria to determine the
effectiveness of the session guide for ALS individual-learners.

PEER PROGRAM FOR PUPILS (3PS): AN INTERVENTION

Aprilyn C. Tombado, Jona L. Castrillo & Domingo M. Pastorfide
ABSTRACT: In this study, Peer Program for Pupils (3Ps) was used to address the needs of SPED (Special
Education) Receiving Teachers. This involved series of trainings, workshops and conferences for regular
teachers or SPED Receiving Teachers who are handling Learner with Special Educational Needs (LSENs) under
Inclusive Education Program. Proper orientation was given to parents and stakeholders to establish awareness
and encourage their support. The researchers conducted a survey to SPED Receiving Teachers. This served
as Pre-assessment survey to determine the challenges encountered by SPED Receiving Teachers in the
implementation of Inclusive Education Program. Then, Peer Program for Pupils (3Ps) or a series of trainings,
workshops and conferences were conducted to equip these teachers with the necessary skills and support from
the school and stake holders as well. Then, another survey was given as post-assessment to identify whether
3P’s as an intervention has addressed the needs of SPED Receiving Teachers in handling LSENs in Dita
Elementary School. Surprisingly, an increase 80% to 95% of the SPED receiving Teachers agreed to the
implementation of Inclusive Education after the 3Ps was conducted. Apparently, after those enlightening
activities, the perception of the SPED Receiving Teachers has changed positively and the number of those who
agree increased from 80% to 95%. They agree that the school administrator must monitor the services rendered
by receiving and special education teachers, other school personnel and parents and commend their support
and dedication. They must also coordinate with the SPED teachers for needed modification of the curriculum and
model appropriate ways of developing relationship with children with special needs. Moreover, they also agree
that the SPED Teachers must provide continuing support to the inclusive education program. They must provide
technical assistance on the use of appropriate materials and equipment and services to the school when training
is needed.

EFFECTS OF USING INTERACTIVE MODELLING (IMO): A STRATEGY TO HELP GRADE 1
PUPILS STAY FOCUSED DURING REMEDIAL READING
Norybel Race Lector
ABSTRACT: The main purpose of the study is to develop/help theability of grade one pupils stay focused during
remedial reading through a positive IMO Strategy furthermore to help grade one teachers produce a reader
children ; as the Department of Education is still consistent on their campaign regarding zero-non reader policy
in every school. The researcher used sampling method in one section which composed of thirty-nine (39) pupils.
Data Collection using a checklist of the researcher’s observation and record the effect of Interactive Modelling
Strategy in catching the attention of the learners will be used. Compare the reading level of the learners before
and after the IMO strategy implementation. Results will be analyzed and the following are the planned strategies:
Designed checklist/assessment to identify the behavior of the pupils, observed pupils behavior, compiled and
designed materials for the strategy, carrying out the plan, collected and analyzed data interpretations and gave
conclusions and recommendations. Before they are exposed to IMO. Twenty-one (20) pupils were recorded non-
readers and seven (7) pupils were recorded under frustration level. Twelve (12) pupils were also recorded under
Instructional level. This only shows that 51.28% of the grade one Tulip were non-readers and 17.95% were
frustrations, 30.77% were Instructional and 0% Independent. After they are exposed to IMO. One (1) pupil was
recorded non-reader and one(1) pupil was recorded frustration. Eighteen (18) pupils were also recorded
Instructional and Nineteen (19) pupils were recorded Independent. This only shows that 2.56% of the grade one
Tulip were non-readers and 2.56 % were frustrations, 46.16% were instructional and 48.72% Independent. After
comparing the results, it shows that the strategy is effective in making grade one pupils stay focused during
Remedial Reading. Though this research was carefully planned, there were some unavoidable limitations. Small
group for sampling was used; only thirty-nine (39) pupils and might not represent the majority of the grade one
pupils. Considering that this research was designed to make grade one stay focused during remedial reading
and it encompasses also behavior, it is necessary that in this study, certain degree of peculiarity can be observed.
Making the school a zero non-reader institution is very serious matter for teachers. The strategy designed by the
researcher is a positive approach that will help the teachers produced readers in a more relaxing way.

INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY COMPETENCY, TRAINING NEEDS AND

PERFORMANCE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THE SARIAYA WEST DISTRICT
OF QUEZON
Marvin A. De Alday

ABSTRACT: To meet the challenges of ever changing world especially in the field of education, there is a need
for teachers to update themselves professionally particularly in the use of computer technology. Descriptive
method was used in the study.The great numbers of respondents in Sariaya West District are 34 years old. Most
of them are female. Generally, most of the teachers in Sariaya West District were “skilled” in ICT competency in
terms of software and hardware. Most of the teacher-respondents “needed” training with respect to ICT. In terms
of IPCRF, the overall rating revealed that majority of the respondents performed very satisfactorily in their work.
The ICT competency in using both hardware and software were found not significantly related to the performance
of the respondent in terms of IPCRF Rating, while the training needs of the respondent have significant
relationship on the respondents IPCRF Rating. In conclusion, the hypothesis stating that the ICT competency
and training needs of teachers are not significantly related to their performance is partially sustained.This study
will use the descriptive research design to assess the ICT competency; training needs and job performance of
elementary school teachers in Sariaya West District of Quezon. This method will give the researcher insights to
describe the problem. It will also help to get appropriate in formation to identify and determine the answers to the
sub-problems of this research study.It is heuristic. “The 21st century teacher needs to be prepared to provide
technology-supported learning opportunities for their students and must know how technology can support
students’ learning”(para.2). Technology aids learning in so many ways with the help of the teacher it provides
motivation, individualized and problem- based learning, cultivation of HOTS and active involvement of the learner
which lead to a more productive teaching-learning process.

INTERACTIVE VIDEO MATERIAL IN ARALING PANLIPUNAN (IVMAP) FOR GRADE 5

LEARNERS OF TAYTAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Angelie Marie L. Javellana

ABSTRACT: The research assessed the performance of the learners after exposure to conventional method and
researcher-made instructional material in Araling Panlipunan. The researcher employed experimental method of
research utilizing two groups of respondents with 40 learners in each group. The researcher selected and
grouped the respondents based on their previous grade in Araling Panlipunan. The groups were comprised of
learners with same academic grades in Araling Panlipunan ranging from 78-90. Controlled group underwent the
conventional method while the experimental group had the researcher-made IVMAP. Afterwards, 20-item test
were administered to the groups of respondents. Results indicated that the controlled group attained mean rating
of 12.19 while the experimental group garnered mean rating of 15.19. Furthermore, results found out the
significant difference between the performance of the 2 groups of respondents indicating t-value of 3.17 and
critical value of 1.99. Results implied that t-value which was greater than the critical value had sufficient evidence
to reject the hypothesis; thus, stating that there was a significant difference on the exposure of the respondents
to the conventional method and IVMAP. The research had inherent limitations due to the researcher-made
material and test which might not fully covered all the essential aspects of the endeavor. Hence, this study
signified that IVMAP helped in the improvement of performance of the learners in Araling Panlipunan. Thus, the
researcher recommended its use in other lessons, subjects and grade levels. The research was intended to
explore more on the use and integration of technology in teaching-learning Araling Panlipunan. The endeavor
was rooted on the preference and expectation of the respondents. It highlighted learner-centered activity.

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF E-DRILLS FOR GRADE 7 ENGLISH

AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

Arlene T. Gaspard

ABSTRACT: Given that today’s learners belong to iGeneration, Gen Z, or post- millennials, the current trends in
education like e-books, mobile learning, online instructional design, drills and exercises, and educational games
would be useful in the enhancement of learningThis study used the quantitative research design since it
quantified the validity and acceptability of the E-Drills for Grade 7 English as a second language as evaluated by
the Grade 7 learners and English teachers and ICT teachers. Furthermore, this study utilized the Design and
Development Research Method. The results of the assessment made by the teachers/experts on the level of
validity of the E-Drills in terms of objectives, topics, directions, and exercises were all “Highly Valid” (HV).
Similarly, the results of the assessment made by the teachers/experts on the level of acceptability of the E-Drills
in terms of functionality, accuracy, suitability, usability, and efficiency were all “Very Acceptable” (VA). Meanwhile,
for the test of significant difference on the performance of the learners in their pre-test and post-test, the
probability value was less than the level of significance at .05. Therefore, there was significant difference between
the pre-test and post-test of the learners. This study is however limited to the Grade 7 learners of Don Jose
Integrated High School and Grade 7 English and ICT teachers in the Division of Santa Rosa City. This will be
beneficial to the teaching and learning process. The results confirmed that the designed E-Drills for Grade 7
English as a Second Language was able to significantly improve the ability of Grade 7 learners towards the
selected language learning competencies. It can also be concluded that the designed E-Drills is valid and
effective so that it is suitable to be used as instructional material for Grade 7 English as a second language.

CONCEPT MAPPING: AN AIDE IN TEACHING MUSIC AMONG GRADE IX STUDENTS OF

BATANGAS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Maxima U. Panganiban

ABSTRACT: There is currently a strong emphasis on the teaching of Music in the school system. Music
influences us almost everywhere we go. It gives us a way to express ourselves and show how we feel insideThe
research proposes the importance of developing concept mapping to enhance the teaching of topics in Music.
The research focused on the occurrence that needs attention. In this, perspective learning is seen as a social
process in which learners actively participate and contribute with their understanding and arguments. The
research was carried out. The objective that frames this study is to assess. Descriptive type of research were
employed in this study, Descriptive studies are often described as studies that are concerned with finding out
“what is”. It attempts to gather quantifiable information that can be used to statistically analyze a target audience
or a particular subject. Description research is used to observe and describe a research subject or problem
without influencing or manipulating the variables in any way. The results from this study reflect an improvement
in student’s musical knowledge and achievement. The analysis revealed that concept mapping allows students
to create a visual image to enhance their learning. It helps them learn information by forcing them to organize it
and add images and color to it. To facilitate knowledge integration processes, concept maps can serve as tools
to elicit relations between ideas within and across contexts. The findings suggest much of the variance in
creativity is yet to be explained. In addition, the construct of creativity and its relationship to teaching is
multifaceted and challenging to measure. Future research efforts may focus on the specific role(s) creativity plays
in effective teaching. Hence, these studies are really correlational or observational, and not truly experimental.
This type of research is conclusive in nature, rather than exploratory.

THE UTILIZATION OF E-GAMES TO ENHANCE THE LEARNING COMPETENCY IN INDUSTRIAL

ARTS OF GRADE FOUR PUPILS IN PANTALAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dolorosa B. Granados & Rhea C. Romanes

ABSTRACT: E-learning is utilized by public K12 schools as well as private schools. Some e-learning
environments take place in a traditional classroom, others allow students to attend classes from home or other
locations. Similarly, game-based learning (GBL) is a type of game play that has defined learning outcomes. In
relation with this, Industrial arts in k12 elementary curriculum has been observed to be the least mastered
component of Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP) in Grade 4. Pupils have poor performance with
regards to this component based on the result of the quarterly exams of the pupils in Grade 4 in the said subject
area. The researchers used the descriptive method of research with 41 Grade 4 pupils as respondent. Results
showed that there have been difficulties that the Grade 4 pupils of Pantalan Elementary School which gathered
an average mean of 2.73 and is interpreted as Agree. Problems were the respondents did not want to just copy
lectures; the lesson in EPP 4 have been too serious for them; there were difficult and often unfamiliar
terminologies used in the lessons; which are too long. It was also revealed that the respondents wanted to
manipulate things which could mean that lessons using Computer-Assisted Instructional materials may be more
appropriate to use. With regards to the effectiveness of E-Games in enhancing their competency level,
respondents revealed that they feel interested in EPP now that they learn from E-games wherein they cited that
they were interested by E-games. Furthermore, E-games and game-based learning help them to like EPP
because through E-games, the pupils can interact with the lessons and at the same time manipulate the
characters in the E-games not to mention that the colors, graphics and sounds add to their interest. These
results could be further attributed to the fact that the E-games simulate the computer games and that the only
difference was that there have been lessons in EPP that are the focus of the games.

ICT INTEGRATION IN TEACHING READING: BASIS FOR IMPROVING READING
COMPREHENSION OF THE PUPILS
Irish Clemen F. Castillo
ABSTRACT: The main objective of this research was to determine the impact of ICT integration in teaching
reading as basis for improving reading comprehension of the pupils. This research used descriptive-evaluative
research design. Descriptive evaluation method of research includes self-made questionnaires. Often it involves
a group that is preselected without any base group to compare the results against. A research instrument is what
you use to collect the information in a qualitative field study or observation. This study utilized the 2002 Winconsin
Reading Comprehension Test for Grade 3. This will utilized self-made and localized reading materials to test the
reading comprehension of the pupils. Each reading materials had been flashed in the projector. Pictures and
related images were part of reading materials. After reading the text, a five-item test had been given. The study
showed that the 12 learners are under the basic level. On the other hand, after using ICT in teaching reading,
there are 2 learners became advanced readers, 4 learners became proficient readers, and the remaining 6
learners remain at the basic level after five month of applying the intervention program. This means that the use
of ICT in teaching reading helps to improve the reading comprehension of the pupils. Since the computed t-value
of 14.37 is greater than the critical value of 2.201 at .05 level of significance with 11 degrees of freedom, the null
hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the reading comprehension level of the pupils before and after
using ICT in teaching reading is rejected. This means that there is significant difference in the reading
comprehension level of the pupils. The use of ICT in teaching reading helps the pupils to improve their reading
comprehension. The more the teacher integrate ICT in teaching reading the higher the possibility of improving
reading comprehension of the pupils. The study implied that the use of ICT in teaching reading helps to improve
the reading comprehension level of the pupils. The use of ICT in teaching may develop the reading ability of the
pupils especially when the pupils saw images and pictures related to what they read.

EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION IN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR GRADE

SIX CLASSES AT SENATOR MARIA KALAW KATIGBAK MEMORIAL SCHOOL

Jenalyn S. Caballes

ABSTRACT: In today's interconnected and globalized world, learning English language has been a very
important factor. It is one of the most widely spoken languages. It is considered to be a common international
language when it comes to field of education, business, trade and commerce. The language could be better learn
only if the students learn it right from their elementary classes. It is only then a definite sequential pattern could
be followed thereby which their communication skills could be improved. And that is why it is said that English
language should be mandatorily taught right from the primary classes in school. A good foundation will certainly
help the students to carve themselves into a person with better proficiency in the language which is the need of
the hour today. The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum aims to help learners understand that English language
is involved in the dynamic social process which responds to and reflects changing social conditions. It is also
inextricably involved with values, beliefs and ways of thinking about the person and the world people dwell. The
curriculum aims that pupils are given an opportunity to build upon their prior knowledge while utilizing their own
skills, interests, styles, and talents. However, teachers find difficulties in teaching different kinds of pupils with
different intellectual capacities, talent or skills, interest, and learning styles especially in heterogeneous groupings
of pupils. This situation calls for teachers to create lessons for all pupils based upon their readiness, interests,
and background knowledge. Anderson (2007) noted that it is imperative not to exclude any child in a classroom,
so a differentiated learning environment must be provided by a teacher. Differentiated instruction is based on the
concept that the teacher is a facilitator of information, while students take the primary role of expanding their
knowledge by making sense of their ability to learn differently (Robinson, Maldonado, & Whaley, 2014).

TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES IN TEACHING STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY AMONG

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF CAMP VICENTE LIM INTEGRATED SCHOOL

Belinda M. Nazareth, & Melencia Rosario D. Coronel

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this research is to investigate the contemporary techniques and strategies of
the teachers in teaching statistics with the end view of drawing out implications which will help students improve
their learning in statistics. This research utilized descriptive-correlational research design to assess the teaching
techniques and strategies of the Statistics teachers and its relationship to the academic performance of the
students in the subject. The results disclosed that in terms of strategies the Statistics teachers rarely integrate
schemes for assessment of statistical thinking and statistical literacy in to the curriculum. Also, teachers rarely
shift the focus of statistics curricula from mathematical calculations to tasks of a practical nature. On the other
hand, teachers were found to use often problems solving and critical thinking skills strategies in developing
statistical literacywhich is the implementation of problem-based learning strategies giving students open-ended
problems and taking the role of facilitator in the learning process. As to teaching techniques, teachers utilized to
the full extent collaborative and active learning strategies while developing the skill of communicative statistics
and use of technology and on-line resources were employed at a moderate extent. The students’ performance
in Statistics was satisfactory with an average ranging from 80 – 84. Moreover, a significant relationship between
the teaching techniques and strategies and academic performance of the students was noted. Based on the
results, it was recommended that teachers may use strategies such as the integration of media reports and
newspapers articles to assess students’ ability of interpretive statistical thinking. Likewise, students may be given
problems within different situations so they may practice what they have learned in a variety of ways.

EFFECTIVE TEACHERS IN THE EYES OF POST MILLENIALS: A DESCRIPTIVE-

EXPLORATORY PHENOMENOLOGY ON STEM CLASSROOM TEACHING
Dennis B. Masangcay & Sarah Jane D. Pulhin

ABSTRACT: This study was realized towards the contextualization of STEM students in the senior high school
on effective teachers through phenomenological inquiry. This study employed qualitative research design,
specifically, phenomenology with descriptive-exploratory approach to saturate the primary themes and constructs
as reflected to the objectives. Based from the findings of the study, the student participants characterized effective
teachers (favorite) generating two fundamental themes: 1) teaching creatively, which is possessed through
providing diverse activities, integrating sensical humor in teaching, opening new opportunities, making
collaborative decisions and giving chance to all students to participate, 2) reflective teaching, which can be
manifested through establishing good relationships, sharing personal experiences, managing meaningful
personal talk, motivating students effectively, highlighting application of learning, and making honest feedback.
These themes, to concretely realized, are supported by the emerging theme, setting positive learning
environment. The insights and themes were grounded to the experiences of the participants and the
education/school orientation they have. Responses were only based on the validated researchers’ interview
guide based on the target objectives. The generated themes were also limited to the functions of software used.
The researchers conceptualized the study due to the implementation of senior high school program under the K-
12 Basic Education Curriculum. As revealed from different studies, focusing on aspects of instruction that
positively correlate to teaching effectiveness, this research eyed for unraveling the participation of post-millenials
in teaching effectively. The paper investigated how STEM students characterized effective teachers through their
personal experiences. The primary constructs of the study could establish significant notions about effective
teaching in the eyes of the post millenials.

AWARENESS, PREPAREDNESS AND PROGRAMS ON DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
MANAGEMENT OF EUSEBIO JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLTEACHERS AND NON TEACHING
PERSONNEL
April A. Boongaling
ABSTRACT: A study from UNESCO revealed that children are particularly vulnerable to disasters, and schools
are often not able to keep them safe. More than 50% of those affected by disasters worldwide are children.
Learners spend most of their time in school, and as such, the school is held responsible for their safety and well-
being. Purposive sampling was used in the research. Using a survey questionnaire adapted from UNESCO,
responses were gathered, tallied and analyzed. The percentages of the positive response were used to identify
the level of awareness and preparedness of the respondents. 90 respondents or 69% are HIGHLY AWARE on
matters relating to Disaster Risk Reduction Management, while 32 respondents or 25% are WELL AWARE, 4
respondents or 3% of the population are AWARE and 4 respondents or 3% also are UNAWARE. In terms of the
level of preparedness, 18 respondents or 14% are HIGHLY PREPARED in a disaster, 37 respondents or 28%
are WELL PREPARED, 43 respondents or 33% were classified as PREPARED and 32 respondents or 25% are
UNPREPARED. The results revealed a high level of awareness among all the disciples but a low level of
preparedness on DRR was also observed. Most participants have attended seminars and trainings on
Earthquake, Basic Fire Fighting and Basic Life Support. The teachers and non-teaching personnel still opted to
select topics that can be applied in different disasters. They are also looking forward on developing different skills
to be developed to increase their level of preparedness. Based on these findings, a training that is focused on
enhancing the level of preparedness among the Eusebio Junior High School teachers and non-teaching
personnel must be developed with hands-on activities and workshops that will hone their skills related to Disaster
Risk Reduction.

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION IN TEACHING PRACTICAL RESEARCH

Angelyn T. Natividad & Teodora M. Capulong

ABSTRACT: The researchers of the study chose Grade 12 students as respondents of the study. This study
utilized a true experimental design or a pre-post test. In a pre-post design, a pretest wasgiven to students who
are taking Practical Research 2. Then after the pre-test, a survey of learning preference in an open - ended
question is utilized to determine the kind of instruction to be applied. Then an intervention method was conducted.
Based on the computed t-test values, the three groups have t stat of -2.84 with associated probability of 0.006.
It shows that there is a significant difference in the performance of the students in the pretest and the posttest in
teaching Practical Research 2 using differentiated instruction. Based on findings, Differentiated Instruction in
Teaching Practical Research 2 is significant in two groups of respondents. The study revealed that the
respondents who belong below average group have t - stat values of -5.91 and 0.00 which is lower than the
tabulated values at 0.05. It is interpreted as there is significant difference between the pre-test and the post- test
using the differentiated instruction. While the average group obtained t stat of -1.55 with its associated probability
value of 0.07. It is interpreted as there is no significant difference between the pre-test and the post- test using
the differentiated instruction. The above average groups have t stat values of 1.96 with associated probability of
0.03. It is interpreted as there is significant difference between the pre-test and the post- test under the
differentiated instruction. Overall the three groups have t stat of -2.84and p value of 0.006. It shows that there is
a significant difference in the performance of the students in the pretest and the posttest in teaching Practical
Research 2 using differentiated instruction.

DEVELOPING THE READING ABILITY OF THE GRADE 7 STUDENTS WHO HAVE WORD
RECOGNITION DIFFICULTY THROUGH “MY TEACHER MY TUTOR ACTIVITY”

Blesilda Camile R. Badillo

ABSTRACT: As reflected in the recently conducted Philippine Inventory Reading test for the school year 2016-
2017, the Phil- IRI Result in Pre-Test for school year 2016-2017 that out of 320 Grade 7 students 9 or 3% of the
total number of enrolled Grade 7 students were detected had word-recognition problem who also underwent the
“My Teacher My Tutor” activity. The students were assessed at the end of the end of the intervention through the
Philippine Reading Inventory Post-test by the English coordinator. The coordinator categorized their skilled
according to level of acquiring the reading skill as to a; students who continued the program and developed the
skill b; students who continued the program yet needed further assistance c; students who dropped the Grade
level. The recently concluded study revealed that out of 9 students who underwent of the reading intervention 6
or the 67% had improved a lot in recognizing words while the 22% or the 2 or 22% students needed for further
intervention. Meanwhile one or the 11% of them dropped the Grade level. The activity was done religiously
within one hour from Monday to Thursday during the permitted time by the classroom teachers and principal
depending on the schedule given every week in the school library. For Friday, it would be their assessment day
with the English coordinator to check the progress of the students. However, this study could not be applied
anytime since there would be a proposed schedule every week. Hence, the research can be identified as heuristic
research since the result was still based on the approach of the teacher through the intervention and also with
the response of learners during the intervention process. The aforesaid statements proved that the “My Teacher
My Tutor” program was a success since bigger number from the given data had improved their reading skill.

online class/eLearning) for public senior high schools to support teaching and learning process in realization of
K12 SHS curriculum. A descriptive-quantitative research design was considered in the study and utilized the neo-
positivism for objectivity and neutrality of the research process. A survey using the tools and instruments of
Mercado’s eLearning readiness assessment tool and eLearning System Readiness Assessment (ELSRA) based
on Mckinsey’s 7S were used to collect data from respondentsThe assessment of student’s technology access
revealed that 46% were ready for access to computers, 55.10% for access to internet connectivity, and 55.41%
for access to tools. For assessment of student’s technology skills, 61.43% were ready for basic computer skills,
53.43% for basic internet skills and 54.25% for literacy on software application. The student's attitude towards
eLearning was evaluated “Almost Ready”. The assessment of teacher’s technology access revealed that 92.45%
were ready for access to computers, 82.08% for access to internet connectivity, and 77.36% for access to tools.
For assessment of teacher’s technology skills revealed 88.68% were ready for computer skills, 93.40% for basic
internet skills and 81.13% for literacy on online tools and other productivity tools. The teacher's attitude towards
eLearning was evaluated “Almost Ready” for abilities, motivation and time management; and “Completely Ready”
for teaching styles and strategies. The schools revealed that 93.33% were ready for administrative support and
83.66% for resource support to eLearning system. The division management assessment using ELSRA which is
based on McKinsey’s 7S had 38.82% of the officials Strongly Agree and 29.51% Agree to the identified 7S that
support eLearning implementation. The designed model is composed of Technology, People, and Process
phases supported by K12 SHS curriculum with continues improvement process thru Monitoring and Evaluation.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CURRICULUM EXITS PATH OF FIRST AND SECOND BATCHES

OF SHS GRADUATES: YEAR 2 INITIAL INPUTS TO LOCALIZED POLICY GUIDELINES ON SHS
PROGRAMS AND NATIONAL CERTIFICATE TRAININGS
Ian Ismael E. Marces, Liezel B. Aling, & Jayson Seel M. Maravilla

ABSTRACT: This study aims to compare and analyze the curriculum exits path of the first and the second batches
(AY 2017-2018 and AY 2018-2019) of the SHS graduates and use the results to formulate localized policy guidelines
on senior high school program and national certificate trainings. This study revealed that 77.47 % senior high school
graduates in 2019, pursued higher education. This is lower compared to the 91% graduates in 2018 who went to
college. On the other hand, 22.13 % of the 2019 graduates sought for employment which is higher compared to the 8
% of 2018 graduates who landed job after graduation. Meanwhile, middle-level skills and entrepreneurship were least
prioritized by the graduates in both academic years (2017-2018 and 2018-2019). Moreover, it can be gleaned from this
study that 61.22 % of the 2019 graduates took courses aligned to their senior high school strands and tracks. This is
lower compared to the alignment rate of the 2018 graduates, whom 91% of them had taken aligned courses in college.
On the other hand, 80.36 % of 2019 graduates landed jobs not aligned to their senior high school strands and tracks.
This misalignment rate is closer compared to the 86 % of the 2018 graduates who were employed after graduation.
Meanwhile, middle-level skills and entrepreneurship were least prioritized by the graduates in both academic years
(2017-2018 and 2018-2019). With respect to the alignment of curriculum exits path of the graduates on their National
Certificate Trainings, in higher education, 60.27% of the 2019 graduates found the NC trainings aligned to their current
course while only 38% is the alignment rate for the 2018 graduates. On the other hand, in employment, 42.86 % of the
2019 graduates found the NC trainings aligned to their current job while only 24% is the alignment rate for the 2018
graduates. This implies that majority of the graduates who pursued higher education have aligned courses with their
SHS strand while not aligned course with their NC trainings. While, those who pursued employment, majority have not
aligned job or work with their SHS strand and not aligned job or work with their NC trainings in both academic years
(2017-2018 and 2018-2020).

MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSES (MOOCS): BASIS FOR TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT IN INOSLOBAN MARAWOY INTEGRATED NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Dr. Evangeline B. Escabel & Lea M. Cabar

ABSTRACT: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have captured the interest and attention of academics and the
public since 2011 (Pappano, 2012). In the Philippines, Department of Education (DepEd) underscored anew the
importance of the Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) that is aligned with the Philippine
Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) in ensuring the delivery of quality, accessible, relevant, and liberating
basic education in the country. The study aims to address the need of Inosloban Marawoy Integrated National High
School teachers for free Professional Development courses so that teachers will not spend a lot of money in attending
seminars /conferences, will have convenient way of learning new things through the use of blending learning and will
be committed to do community linkages and involvement. Also, the researchers identify the integration of two (2)
MOOC Courses in the participants’ teaching. Individual reflections, journals and discussions revealed that participants
viewed MOOCs as an effective means for professional development because they are free and flexible to use. On the
other hand, MOOC Camps served as a community wherein the MOOC participants engage and share professional
ideas while completing the courses. Moreover, participants’ aims for completing the courses revealed that they want
to get certificate, to acquire new knowledge and to have access to online education resources. The study is limited to
20 participants from Inosloban Marawoy Integrated National High School who successfully completed one or two
courses of MOOC. The MOOC Camp was facilitated by one of the participants (the researcher), who is an Alumnus of
the U.S. Department of State’s E-Teacher Program. The research study introduced the use of online learning as an
opportunity for professional development trainings for teachers. Courses offered were from top universities in United
States of America and sponsored by the United States of America Embassy and RELO (Regional English Language
Office).

Emie C. Velasco

ABSTRACT: Realizing mathematical proficiency and strengthening senior high school students’ performance in
mathematics are the primary goals of mathematics education. In line with these goals, the researcher developed
written numeracy assessment tool used together with the best teaching and learning strategies to deliver quality
instruction in teaching General Mathematics. This descriptive study determined the level of mathematics
performance of grade 11 students. Inclusively, the study covered the students’ behavior in utilizing the numeracy
assessment tools and determined the impact of these learning tools in their performance. It was revealed that
there was a greater increase on the students’ level of performance on second quarter grades after employing a
numeracy assessment tools. From an average of 81. 95 from the first quarter it becomes 86.23 an increase of
4.28 grade point average indicates that the numeracy tools can be of great help to improve learning performance
of students in General Mathematics. Enlightened by the importance of learning material that would uplift students’
performance, teacher constructed her own numeracy assessment tools. These were used as learning channel
during class discussion in General Mathematics which made suitable to students with different learning levels.
These tools maybe introduced to others to give them ideas how to create and utilize it with suggested teaching
strategies to ensure success in instruction. It may be reproduced and used to student who will take the subject
to facilitate same learning. The assessment tools may also be adopted to further enhance the teaching learning
process in General Mathematics

Leovil L. Perez

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the different alternative assessments to evaluate students’ outcomes
in Science with the end-view of proposing variety of assessment methods to enhance students’ learning
outcomes in the said subject. The study utilized the descriptive method of research as it aimed to present
information about the perceptions of special science class students of Batangas National High School on
alternative assessments employed by their teachers. The study dealt on the perceptions of special science class
students on the use of alternative assessments by their teachers. From these results it can be inferred that
respondents have employed different assessments in order to gauge the different capabilities of their students.
This was backed-up by the highest weighted mean of 3.67 where the strategy of asking students questions was
foremost and often used by respondents. Data showed that the composite mean of 3.36 and interpreted as
always revealed that students had a positive response towards the different alternative assessments that their
teachers had employed in evaluating their performance in science class. This was further supported by the
highest weighted mean of 3.67 on item that students solve problems in a team setting, and interpreted as always.
Also, findings showed that the composite mean of 3.36 and interpreted as always revealed that students had a
positive response towards the different alternative assessments that their teachers had employed in evaluating
their performance in science class. This was further supported by the highest weighted mean of 3.67 on item that
students solve problems in a team setting, and interpreted as always. This was followed by weighted mean of
3.56 for both items take end-of-chapter tests with enthusiasm and make presentations to the class with readiness,
with verbal interpretation as always. Likewise, the weighted mean of 3.33 reflected that students had always
maintained journals of data collected consistently.

THE PERFORMANCE IN MATHEMATICS 6 THROUGH POOL-POOLAN SA PAARALAN (2P'S)

Marvin A. De Alday

ABSTRACT: In the researcher’s school condition where larger concern on learner’s difficulties in mathematics
exhibits small number of numerates. Thus, this highlights most the learners having struggles and fear of
multiplication. Therefore, the researcher observed that her learners were not well motivated in memorizing
multiplication. The study employed the descriptive -comparative method of research.The study employed the
descriptive -comparative method of research this was used to determine the pretest and posttest scores of Grade
6 pupils. The researcher considered his subject class with twenty-one (21) pupils as respondents. Out of the
members, fourteen (14) were males and seven (7) were female. Grade 6 was purposively chosen as the
respondents since this class has the most number of non-numerates in the level. For the instrumentation, the
researcher used a self-made 20 item test in multiple choice types. This was validated by the three Master
Teachers in Mathematics this was administered to measure the performance of the respondents in Mathematics.
The researcher gives first the pretest to the respondents to find out the pupils’ performance in four fundamentals
operation during the third quarter. The topics were yet discussed. Then, Pool-Poolan sa Paaralan was used by
the learners with the guidance of the researcher from September to October, Monday to Friday every 12:30 to
1:00 pm. This was served as remediation program. Final evaluation was conducted using the posttest at the end
of the quarter to determine the effectiveness of Pool-Poolan sa Paaralan. It is heuristic. In the past ten years of
teaching of the researcher, it was an evident that Mathematics is a challenging and tedious subject especially in
teaching multiplication. Likewise, researcher observed that learners have difficulty and do not spend much time
in memorizing the multiplication table resulting to poor performance in Mathematics subject.

JAPANESE MULTIPLICATION

Ladylyn B. Tuazon

ABSTRACT: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Japanese Multiplication as teaching technique in
enhancing the level of performance in multiplying numbers of Grade 7 students of Liwayway National High School
during S.Y. 2018-2019. This study used the true-experimental method of research. After the data had been
analyzed, the following findings were revealed. (1) The profile of respondents such as the average grade in
Mathematics 6 during their elementary and the pretest scores was determined. As to their Grade 6 Mathematics
final average grade, the control group obtained a mean score results of 78.10 and standard deviation of 3.34
while the experimental group got 78.65 for the mean and 2.25 for the standard deviation. As to pretest, the
respondents from the control group obtained a mean score of 6.15 and a standard deviation of 2.75 while the
experimental group obtained mean score of 6.25 and a standard deviation of 3.46 with a computed t-value of
0.18. This indicates that two groups are equal in terms of the pretest scores and the average grades in Grade 6
Mathematics. (2) The Japanese Multiplication was utilized as teaching technique in teaching multiplication of
numbers. (3) A difference of 1.15 in the posttest mean scores yielded a t-value of 3.66 at 0.05 level of significance.
This implies that the respondents who were treated with the utilization Japanese Multiplication as teaching
technique in teaching multiplication of numbers performed better than those who were aided using the traditional
method of multiplying numbers This research had seen the value of Japanese Multiplication as teaching
technique in enhancing the level of performance in multiplying numbers Grade 7 students of Liwayway National
High School This study recommends the teachers in Mathematics to utilize different techniques when teaching
performing fundamental operations.

LIVED EXPERIENCES OF TEACHERS TOWARDS THE BEHAVIOR OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENTS AT PANTALAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Gemma L. Glean, Jasminm. Villafania, & Angelo M. Villafranca

ABSTRACT: Molding students' behavior is one of the challenging roles a teacher will surely experience as he/she
entered the profession. The teachers may spend more time on discipline and redirecting which can adversely
affect the performance of the teachers and the students(Lumanug, 2015). Furthermore, Jacobsen (2013) states
that the age of the students may influence the type of disruptive behavior in the classroom, in relation to this, a
senior high school student whose age ranges to 16-22 years old are expected to act as mature as they can be-
suited to their age. But, the K-12 curriculum was implemented year 2013 and Grade 11 and 12 or the Senior high
school was fully implemented 2 years ago as a result of urgent hiring of fresh graduate educators without proper
training on how to handle a senior high school students who are in between of the behavior of a junior high school
and supposedly college students. Students at this age are too wild that they decide whatever they want to do
without consideration to the school rules or to the specific rules in the classroom. The researchers are teaching
Academic Tracks and Technical, Vocational and Livelihood Track at Pantalan Senior High School who meets
almost all of the senior high students and experiences different challenges in dwelling with senior high school
student’s behavior. Thus, the researcher come up to study also on how teachers deal with the behavior of senior
high students in this school and to find out how the behavior of each students affects the daily instructional routine
of teachers. This study will provide recommendations/ suggestions to teachers on how they will solve the issues
about the behaviors of senior high students in and outside the classroom. The target participants of the study are
five (5) teachers from Grade eleven (11) and five (5) teachers from grade twelve (12) from Pantalan Senior High
School, located at Pantalan, Nasugbu, Batangas.

PRE-WORK IMMERSION TEACHER’S ACTIVITY PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT TO INCREASE

THE READINESS OF GRADE 12 TVL-ICT STUDENTS

Arnold S. Rosales & Faith Lynn D. Depeña

ABSTRACT: This study aimed that Senior High School TVL ICT students who undergo Work Immersion in an
industry would directly relate to the immersion post secondary goal and increase the readiness of grade 12 TVL
ICT students by enhancing teachers activity program in terms of profiling the company to where they will work
for immersion, identifying its structure, products and services, location, mission, vision, founder/owner,
titles/roles, and the immediate supervisor which all contributes to their readiness for work immersion.
Furthermore, the researchers wanted to increase the readiness of the students when it comes to their physical,
emotional, and skills such as troubleshooting, installation, networking, and even on responding to a job interview
questions in an environment similar to an actual interview. Based on the findings, the skills that Grade 12 students
from TVL-ICT batch 2018-2019 learned in their specialization subjects have prepared them for Work Immersion.
Based on the findings, it is observed that they know basic troubleshooting but expressed that they need to be
trained more when it comes to installation and networking. They expressed that they need more practice in order
to effectively master these competencies. On the other hand, the students showed enthusiasm in creating
presentations and mastering all required competencies. The students also agreed that the school conducted the
pre-immersion orientation and guided them in securing and accomplishing Work Immersion documents. They
know that the company where they will undergo work immersion is an IT company or in the IT Department of an
organization. However, it is observed that they do not have the knowledge whether it is public, private, or a
partnership. The Work Immersion Venue also helped them acquire skills/competencies and there were no major
distractions that interfered with their training. Based on the interview, the students were well engaged with what
was going on during the Work Immersion and the activities aided their learning. On the other hand, they
mentioned that there could have been more discussion on setting of expectations before they get deployed.

THE EFFECT OF SCIENCE TEACHERS’ TEACHING STYLE ON GRADE SIX PUPILS'

MOTIVATION IN TAGAYTAY CITY CENTRAL SCHOOL (TESTTS)
Rowena A. Umayam

ABSTRACT: Effective learning in the classroom depends on the teacher's ability to maintain the interest that
brought students to the course in the first place. Not all students are motivated by the same values, needs,
desires and wants. Some students are motivated by the approval of others or by overcoming
challenges.Teachers must recognize the diversity and complexity in the classroom, be it the ethnicity, gender,
culture, language abilities and interests. Getting students to work and learn in class in largely influenced in all
these areas. Classroom diversity exists not only among students and their peers but may be also exacerbated
by language and cultural differences between teachers and students.How the child will learn science is one of
the most important matters science teachers have to know. The practices which are logical and satisfying for the
students at laboratory have to be determined. The necessary environment has to be provided by expressing the
steps of the study and individual practice has to be carried out with necessary materials. Studies have to be
assessed in detail at convenient times and if needed, alternative learning environments must be formed. There
must be interaction between students, teacher and activity. As it has been said, what happens in the classroom
depends on teacher's ability to maintain student's interests. Thus, teachers play a vital role in effecting classroom
changes. As stressed in the Educator's Diary published in 1995, "Teaching takes place only when learning does."
Considering one's teaching style and how it affects students' motivation greatly concerns the researchers.
Although, we might think of other factors, however, emphasis has been geared towards the effect of teacher's
teaching style and student motivation. For this reason, this research aim to determine the Effect of Science
Teachers’ Teaching Style on Grade Six Pupils' Motivation in Tagaytay City Central School.

JOURNEY OF AAMIS LEARNERS: A STUDY OF THEIR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Kenrozen C. Meniano & Ebenezer Cocamas

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to find out the emotional levels of Grade 7 students of Alfonso Ang
Militante Integrated School ( AAMIS) to help the said students improve and develop their emotional intelligence
in order to balance their intelligence quotient and to come up with a good measure or strategies to boost their
emotional levels. This study was an action research design. It used an emotional intervention program in six (6)
months to improve the low emotional level of the respondents. To determine the emotional level of the
respondents, the checklist designed by Thibodeaux & Stephenson Bond retrieved in 2008 titled “Emotional
Intelligence Quotient Checklist” was used. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data gathered. As
revealed from the instrument, the respondents had suffered low emotional intelligence when they had to handle
their problems in relations to others and their family. Almost all of them could not cope up when a close
relationship or a long-term relationship would end that includes parents’ break up, broken homes, and friendship.
Most of them could not stand to any annoyance or disturbance done by their peer, classmates, schoolmates and
any other persons in their family and surroundings. Most of them also did not know how to deal with the
assignment or big projects given by the teachers concerned. They just push aside those big project and
assignment and had to work for it when the deadline is near. They did not care about the failure and the success
of such project. They just want to relax themselves while the deadline is so far. However after the program,
activities, and strategies being implemented to boost their emotional intelligence, a great improvement had
occurred as to their emotional intelligence levels. This study implies that the students with high level of
intelligences has problem in their emotional intelligence. This research is holistic in nature considering it tries to
develop the respondents emotional and intellectual levels equally through the use of proper intervention with the
collaborative efforts of people around them. It gives us an insights that emotional level is as important as the

NATIONAL CERTIFICATION II INSTITUTIONAL ASSESSMENT FOR ELECTRICAL

INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE: BASIS FOR INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Arlene S. De Ungria

ABSTRACT: Institutional Assessment is synonymous to mock assessment or simulated assessment which is

the technical term used by TESDA. This type of assessment takes place on the same venue or training center,
in our case this will happen inside the school. The study is descriptive. An institutional assessment has conducted
to all enrolled Grade 12 EIM learners by the internal assessors (the teachers) and external assessors in the form
oral, written and performance evaluation. The assessment made by the internal assessors were matched to the
assessment made by the external assessors to develop validity of result. The findings indicated that Grade 12
EIM students who undergone Institutional Assessment and considering they already become skilled in the
identified least mastered area/s are prepare to take the National Certification II Assessment for Electrical
Installation Maintenance in TESDA accredited centers. Limitations on these findings exist when there is new test
assessment package for National Certification II Assessment for Electrical Installation Maintenance in TESDA.
New test assessment package is TESDAs’ way of coping and upgrading to the needs of the industries and other
customers. The researchers would like to suggest a Partnership with TESDA (or any TESDA accredited schools
and assessment center) for immediate information about the updates on TVL Track anchored on TESDA.
Students to take National Certification (NC) and to be COMPETENT on their specialization before graduation
and conduct of the same research using large sample i.e public senior high schools in Imus City.

Florentina S. Pitogo & Paola Ann Rose M. Ebora

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the importance of the library services of Alangilan Central Elementary
School in uplifting the literacy level of the pupils with the end view of proposing a feasible and more manageable
project of maintaining a school library that can be utilize year round by every pupils and teachers that can
contribute to the growth of every learners. In this study, the descriptive method of research was used. As the
results showed, the assessment of teachers, had no significant differences. There was a significant difference in
their assessment of respondents in terms of literacy strategies. When the assessments of teachers were made,
there were a weighted mean of 3.50-4.00 in which the teachers are all willing to work try all things possible to
achieve the goal. The support from the community in the implementation of community development activities
include the facts that parents will have less number of participants during the implementation stage, that
implementation of community development activities is often placed in the least of their priorities and, that
participation in community development activities is done for compliance and documentation purposes. The
proposed project for the research is to have a joint effort from the PTA, mothers, stakeholders and teachers of
enriching the literacy of the pupils by encouraging the to devote time on teaching the pupils in the library with the
proper use of its services and resources. This could be a basis on how to strengthen the library science and
services to promote literacy among pupils as well as to improve the numeracy later on. Since the school and the
community aimed every learners to be literate, pupils will benefit in every library activities to be conducted by
the school and community.

responsible behaviour leading to self-disciplined person. Discipline exposes pupils to the art of self-control, and
social chaos can only be avoided if restraints are built into the character of the pupils. In this connection, this
research study aims to identify the impact of implementing the Enhanced Student Action Program in improving
the social, emotional and behavioural competencies of grade two pupils in Paaralang Elementarya ng Santol-
Manggahan. From the summarized findings, the following conclusions were drawn that the wise and effective
utilization of varied instructional techniques/strategies in the teaching-learning situation is a manifestation of
growth and development, the pupils’ effective utilization of learning strategies helps promote their development
of cognitive, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation skills and competencies in relation
to their performance of varied school activities. That learning strategies are instrumental in facilitating,
accelerating and making more meaningful and enjoyable the pupils’ performance of academic activities. There
is a very strong association between the effectiveness of instructional techniques and the pupils’ utilization of
learning strategies. Accordingly, the researcher designed a program that will somehow respond to eliminate the
behavioral issues of grade 2 pupils in the academe. Different activities that is tied up in the pedagogical approach
in executed in class these were made to motivate the interest of the pupils. Nonetheless, these results left us
with questions and thoughts about how to improve the interventions and incorporate them into the regular reading
lesson times.

ABSTRACT: Mathematics was regarded seemingly as the most difficult subject among the grade 6 pupils of
Agaman Sur Elementary School. It is therefore aimed by the teacher researcher to improve the mathematics
performance of the pupils through the use of a certain intervention called MathTinik. The MathTinik movie CDs
are available in Tueg Elementary School in Baggao west district, a recipient school of ABS-CBN e-learning
package where all competencies of mathematics 6 are shown. Single group with a pre-test and post-test design
was used in this research. The experiment involves only a group of pupil respondents in which the researcher
administered pre-test before the use of intervention then post test was administered. As regards to the result of
this study, it was found that there is a significant difference in favor of the post-test in all the 19 competencies as
revealed in the computed t–values which is greater than the tabular values. It is concluded that through the
Mathtinikmovies as an intervention can enhance the mathematics performance of the grade 6 pupils and it is
found seemingly to be a very effective strategy in the mathematics teaching-learning process. It is therefore
recommended that mathematics teacher utilize the same material to the succeeding grade 6 classes for the next
school years and teacher should give more examples and make further elaborations in all topics to obtain better
mathematics performance. The result of the study should be disseminated to the entire district of Baggao
Elementary Schools level for its utilization. Furthermore, other math teachers from other grade levels are
encouraged to utilize other MathtinikCD movies to improve the mathematics performance of their pupils.

DIMINISHING VALUE OF PLAY: PARENTS’ AND TEACHERS’
NARRATIVES IN AKINDERGARTEN CLASSROOM

ABSTRACT: Parents could remember molding clays, coloring books and finger printing during kindergarten.
While these still happen today, but a lot has changed over the years. Children are rarely found playing in gardens,
rather, are found in classrooms answering worksheets. With this, the purpose of this study is to obtain the
narratives from adults about the changing classroom instructions and the diminishing value of play for
kindergartners. To follow through, this study used the lived experiences in a narrative form of five parents and
two teachers. Using a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted, and responses were analyzed based on
themes. Overall, the participants believed that the educational atmosphere is rigid and not child friendly,
classroom instructions are dependent on teachers’ creativity, and children must be given the opportunity to do
what they desire and not what is wanted for them. While this research presented the real experiences of the
respondents, perceptions from a different angle are advised. Gathering data from a wider range makes the results
closer to objectivity. Lastly, this research gave a fresh outlook from parents and teachers. It contributed to the
field of early childhood education that focused on strengthening the importance of play in the preschool
curriculum.

ELEMENTARY RESEARCH SUBJECTS: AN ACTION RESEARCH
ABSTRACT: This mixed-method study of Creswell’s explanatory sequential design aims to find out the reasons
of apprehensions in handling Research subjects among teachers. It also examines the specific areas that the
teachers wanted to improve and the effects of the employed intervention strategies. Research participants were
18 teachers and 153 pupils from SPED Training Center, Cadiz City. The instruments used in the study are the
validated researcher-made survey checklist-questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion Guide and the DepED
Instructional Supervision Tool. Results reveal that the lack of teaching materials appropriate for the grade
obtained the highest rating of Extremely among the reasons of apprehension. Other reasons include the lack of
skills/ training in Research, content knowledge and support staff to assist the teacher. Developing content
knowledge and gaining Research and collaboration skills were the most needed areas for improvement. All of
the six 6 interventions (teachers’ training, mobilized school team of research-oriented teachers, network with
other schools and stakeholders, produced learning materials, provision of other learning resources and reward
system) were found helpful. The conduct of school research training and the provision of other learning resources
obtained to offer Most help. Similarly, the six interventions were of Good effect and Giving of reward obtained
the highest rating of Very Good effect. The data suggest that limited educational background and experience
aggravated by the lack of instructional materials and facilities made the teachers apprehensive and thereby
needs the collaboration among the internal and external stakeholders to achieve a successful program. Technical
support from specialists and administrators and a continuing training and production of learning materials which
are to be tested for effectiveness seemed to answer the problems of Research teachers.

DISCOVERING AND ASSESSING THE CALLING AND WORK ENGAGEMENT OF TEACHERS
IN STA. LUCIA HIGH SCHOOL-PASIG CITY (A BASIS FOR ACTION PLAN)
ABSTRACT: Teachers play a vital role in our society particularly when it comes to student achievement.
However, here are also numerous tasks assigned from them aside from teaching that leads them to fatigue or
burn-out, that might lead to thinking of an early retirement, not to mention also other personal factors like financial
issues, family matters and even age. These factors lead me to come up with this action research. to assess and
analyze their calling when it comes to their teaching profession and also their work engagement. Based on the
responses of the surveys conducted to the 35 teachers, and upon creating a tabulation table wherein the
responses are being written. It is quite obvious that no response was placed in the weak and low ranges, this
would mean that most number of teachers have high engagement and at the same strong calling in the teaching
profession. However, the study limits to the total number of teachers in school, this would not mean that perhaps
not all are highly engage and have strong calling in profession. Although, the study is timely, since the need to
sustain the effectiveness and efficiency to teach is challenging since there are factors that might affect their
calling and engagement.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INDEX, NUTRITIONAL HEALTH STATUS AND WORK MOTIVATION
OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS: AN INPUT TO A WELLNESS PROGRAM
ABSTRACT: This descriptive-correlational study assessed the association between physical activity index,
nutritional health status, and work motivation of secondary school teachers. Ninety-four (94) respondents were
randomly chosen from one hundred eleven (111) teacher population in Gulod National High School. The study
used a three-part adopted and validated questionnaire that solicited their demographic profile, physical activity
index and work motivation. Chi-square test of independence was employed to determine if there is a significant
relationship between variables. The teacher – respondents was dominated by married female teachers who are
in their late twenty’s and early thirty’s. Majority of them are beginning teachers who are in the service for about a
decade now, handling Mathematics and English subjects in Grade 9 level. There are only few teachers who are
pursuing graduate studies. Almost half of the teacher – respondents have nutritional status which can be
classified as above and below normal. In terms of physical activity index, majority of the teachers in the research
locale has a poor physical activity based on the intensity, frequency, and duration. The teachers are motivated
in terms of their agreement in the twenty-four (24) indicative statements of work motivation which further indicates
that the teacher – respondents have a positive attitude towards work. It was found out teacher’s age, sex, civil
status, highest educational attainment, teaching position, years in service, specialization, and body mass index
(BMI) are found to have insignificant relationship to their work motivation. Meanwhile, the grade level handled by
the teacher – respondents is significantly related to their work motivation. Moreover, teacher’s physical activity
index (PAI) and work motivation are highly and significantly correlated to each other. It connotes that once a
teacher is actively involved in physical activity, s/he is most likely motivated at work.

EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DEPED-DOH DEWORMING PROGRAM

AT BACUNGAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL USING BUSHNELL’S APPROACH
ABSTRACT: The Department of Health and the Department of Education are strengthening the deworming
program to fight the prevalence of worm to students. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation
of DepEd-DOH deworming program at Bacungan National High School, its level of implementation in Puerto
Princesa City Division and their correlation. Problems encountered in the full implementation of the program were
also identified. The researchers used both the documentary analysis and the quantitative method. The data for
the participation rate was obtained from the school files and the data for the level of implementation was obtained
from the Division Office files. The Sofa Statistics was used. Results revealed that the school’s participation rate
in the Deworming Program decreased both in the first and the second round. The level of implementation from
SY 2016-2017 to 2018-2019 for the first round was poorly implemented but highly implemented in the School
Year 2017-2018. For the second round, the level of implementation from SY 2016-2017 to 2018-2019 was highly
implemented in the School Year 2016-2017 but was poorly implemented for school years 2017-2018 and 2018-
2019. There is no significant relationship between the School’s Participation Rate to the Division’s Level of
Implementation. Parental consent was perceived as a problem in the implementation. It was suggested that the
school’s Participation Rate should increase in both rounds. The high level of implementation should be sustained
from its first to second round of implementation. Further studies must also be conducted to improve the program.

JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS’ MOTIVATIONS
AND RESERVATIONS IN IMMERSING INTO THE CULTURE OF RESEARCH

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the motivations and reservations that public high school
teachers have in conducting research projects. Despite the paramount importance of research, many teachers
still have reservations in conducting research projects. The study utilized a mixed method research design.
Thematic analysis and different statistical tools to analyze the data gathered. The participants of the study were
public high school teachers in a school district in the province of Quezon. The study found out that the motivations
that teachers have in conducting a research project are primarily extrinsic and that their major reservations in
conducting research can be summarized into financial, professional, and personal reasons. These aspects hinder
a public high school teacher from immersing themselves into the beauty and importance of conducting research
in education. Further, they would be able to do research if they will be funded and de-loaded of the tasks given
to them which are not part of their work. The study was limited to determine the motivations and reservations that
the teachers have in conducting a research project related to education. The participation of the participants and
reservations were limited to the willing teachers who gave their time to be part of the study. The study has shown
the motivations of teachers in conducting research projects and their major reasons for being reserved in
conducting research projects, particularly in education.

PERFORMANCE IN PRE-CALCULUS OF GRADE 11 STEM STUDENTS:
BASIS FOR PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT
ABSTRACT: This study generally focused on determining the performance in Pre-Calculus as basis for
performance-based of Grade11 STEM students. This study determined the individual and grouping scheme as
basis in performance in Pre-Calculus of the respondents using the quantitative method and descriptive research.
The researchers conducted focused-group discussion and utilized questionnaires to gather data on how
performance-based assessment affects one’s performance. The researchers utilized stratified random sampling
to select the total number of respondents using Slovin’s formula with 5% marginal error. After careful analysis
and interpretation of data gathered, the researchers found out that majority of respondents stated that the main
importance of performance-based assessment was to evaluate complex concepts across a range of types and
disciplines. The study was limited to 93 grade 11 student-respondents. Thus, the small size does not have the
statistical support for conclusive results for generalizing the findings of this research. The result of this paper
served as a baseline information in the provision of school programs and activities involving performance-based
activities for students as means of analyzing Pre-Calculus.

had utilized the statistical tools that had been used in treating the gathered data from the survey. The findings of the
study shows that majority of the respondents are aged 26 to 30 years; female; obtained a college degree; are both
handling Grade 5 and 6 levels; had only served 5 years and below in teaching; and only attended 5 and below MTAP-
related seminars. The most frequent challenge encountered by the respondents in problem solving during MTAP class
was due to “unfamiliarity with lessons or topics being discussed or included in MTAP test papers”. The “instructor’s
command of subject matter’ had been considered by the respondents to be the most influential instructional factor that
they found to be related in the challenges they encountered problem solving during MTAP class and there is no
significant difference between the instructional factors and the challenges in problem solving encountered by the
respondents during their MTAP class and their demographic profile.

PANTALAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS’ CONCEPTS OF EFFECTIVE TEACHING:
A REVISIT ON THE PRINCIPLES OF COMMITMENT, ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM
ABSTRACT: This study investigates the perceptions and practices of effective teaching principles of Pantalan Senior
High School teachers. Adhering to the principle of ethical standards, professionalism, and commitment, this study
based its inquiry on several themes that emerged to characterize the conglomeration of conceptions of effective
teaching from personality-based dispositions, teaching competence traits, content mastery and expertise, pedagogical
knowledge and extension of the self. The respondents, consist of teachers of PSHS from different academic tracts,
were interviewed and were asked questions based on the themes involved. The study concluded that there was no
single, predominant factor or heuristic that was identified upon which effective teaching is largely and/or solely
contingent. Instead, effective teaching was viewed as a confluence of various dispositions, traits, knowledge, and skill
sets. Though there may be several factors and standards which may not coincide with every teacher’s notion of
effective teacher, they still arrive to ideas that teachers must be pedagogically competent, and values-oriented. This
idea is confirmed by the study of Gage (1972) that effective teachers have a high level of cognitive organization, deliver
lessons from memory, while Bell (1962) noted direct relevant use of time, encouraging class discussion, and showing
implications of learning to life situations were evidences of effective teaching. The implications of the findings to in-
service teacher education were also established in the study.

Linkages And Partnership with Stakeholders (SLAPS). This project aims to have a strong partnership with the
stakeholders who can support the learners’ need in their everyday learning. There were 20 learners who supported by
the different stakeholders such as Asurion Company, Kiwanis, City College of Calamba, Maquiling Depot and Parent
and Teachers Association. The implementation of the project SLAPS helped to address the current needs of the school
specifically the learners’ performance and the performance of the school as a whole. Hence, the school established
harmonious and good partnership with the stakeholders who will continuously support the programs and projects. As
a result, the learners performance has increased after providing them foods and allowances everyday, the absenteeism
were also lessen and their reading skills have been improved. Through this, the learners were more motivated to study
everyday because they knew to themselves that there are stakeholders who are ready and able to support their
education that could last in a long term basis. Successful implementation doesn’t be successful without hindrances.
Through the implementation of the SLAP project, there were also issues and other concern which should be taken into
consideration. These are: time management, availability and sustainability of the support from the stakeholders and
accessibility of the school. Through the SLAPS effectiveness, the long term Linkages and Partnership among
stakeholders has been strengthened. Therefore, further and continues implementation of the SLAPS program is
recommended to achieve the target MPS of 75%.

MEASURES TO PREVENT VERBAL ABUSE IN THE CLASSROOM

ABSTRACT: Verbal abuse in school can be triggered by several factors, including school climate, school social
structure, and school culture. Analysis of verbal abuse cannot be separated from the use of language in social
interaction. There is a dialectical relationship between language use event and situations, institutions, and social
structures that shape them (Fervy, 2012). From these insights and scenario, the researcher sought her inspiration to
study the measures to prevent verbal abuse inside the classroom grounded from the experiences of teachers and
students. The researcher used the standard Questionnaire serves as tool To interpret data, the researcher employs
percentage, rank, and Likert Scale. Results of the study showed that, teacher as a prime mover of a classroom and
manager should possess a power to obey and power to harmonize and create a conducive learning environment by
set clear and definite classroom rules and procedures so that learners will be guided to the following actions and works
they will carry on. Second, almost 80% of teachers agreed that it will be substantial to acknowledging pupils appropriate
behaviour by praising them or by giving other positive rewards should always be observe. Furthermore, most teachers
agreed that close family ties, classroom management, engaging networks/ linkages for professional growth,
strengthening human relationship, and personal development trainings, seminar and workshop will be undertaking.
Therefore, having training, seminars and workshop teachers will be knowledgeable in giving preventive measures in
classroom verbal abuse. Because, it is the heart of classroom management to fill the needs of learners and one of
those is to provide conducive leaning environment that free from any forms of bullying and the teacher as a manager
has the big responsibility with that matters and by knowing different preventive measure it will be put into realization.

ENHANCEMENT OF STUDENTS READING SKILLS THROUGH
COMPUTER AIDED READING INTERVENTION
ABSTRACT: The researcher opted that it is very timely to conduct an action research to test if the technique on
utilization of ICT materials would increase the awareness of the students in literacy. The researcher used
“Computer Aided Reading Intervention” in presenting the passages on silent reading during the learning process.
The main purpose of using ICT material in the school is not to give just a graphical map data but to absorb
required actual knowledge and skills. The researcher utilized the descriptive – comparative method where the
research considers two entities: pretest and post-test of students after the use of “Computer Aides Reading
Intervention” for reading materials in measuring reading capability. This is done for the enhancement of students’
reading skills pretest and posttest was compared. The significant difference of the pretest and posttest were
computed using the dependent t-test. The data and information gathered were systematically checked,
computed, tabulated and interpreted. Findings show that students are more engaged to answering silent reading
test when using ICT integrated activities. There is an increase of test scores on their post-test during the use of
Computer Aided Reading Intervention or CARI. The study was limited only on enhancing the reading skills of
frustrated readers in grade seven student through “Computer Aided Reading Intervention” in improving the
students reading skills. This is an innovation of the traditional way of administering silent reading test. Additionally,
it gives instant result because after the students are done answering the test scores were already computed
specifically the number of correct items and the percentage.

barangays from the city of Lipa and municipalities of San Jose, Cuenca and Mataas na Kahoy. Unfortunately,
the results of the second quarterly examination school year 2018- 2019 was below the passing standard
specifically in Mathematics got the lowest MPS results among all other learning areas which means that it should
be given more attention by the teachers. This Project MVP aimed to increase the MPS results of Mathematics in
all grade level in the third quarter and fourth quarter at Pinagtongulan Integrated National High School during the
School Year 2018- 2019. Further, it is deemed to propose a management plan that will increase the MPS results
of all subject areas. This study used a survey method which utilized the MPS results as the basis for the level of
performance of the students. In addition, the researcher interviewed the Mathematics teachers to facilitate
additional information that are found very significant to the present study. Activities like remedial classes, module
answering, and peer tutoring were utilized by the Mathematics teachers in the conduct of the project. MPS results
of the third grading and fourth grading were used to determine the effectiveness of the project. After the Project
MVP, an increased in the MPS results was observed in the third and fourth periodical examination. So, therefore,
the project was a success. Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, this recommendation was drawn:
involvement of parents, teachers and community in developing the students should be maximized in the school
system, teachers should attend training programs that will capacitate them in developing strategies in teaching
underachieving students, and the proposed management plan should be implemented to increase the MPS
results in Pinagtongulan Integrated National High School.

THE EFFECTS OF COMPUTER GENERATED SONGS IN TEACHING BEGINNING READING
ABSTRACT: Computer-generated music is music composed by, or with the extensive aid of, a computer.
Although any music which uses computers in its composition or realization is computer-generated to some extent,
the use of computers is now so widespread (in the editing of pop songs, for instance) that the phrase computer-
generated music is generally used to mean a kind of music which could not have been created without the use
of computers. We can distinguish two groups of computer-generated music: music in which a computer
generated the score, which could be performed by humans, and music which is both composed and performed
by computers. There is a large genre of music that is organized, synthesized, and created on computers.

TEACHERS’ CHALLENGES IN DOING ACTION RESEARCH:
BASIS FOR PROFESSIONALGROWTH

ABSTRACT: The respondents of the research which will consist of 30 selected Teachers of San Pablo Central
School were chosen purposively by the researcher. The researcher will use a descriptive survey method
combining checklist and interview. This study shows that most of the teachers have the interest of doing a
research but most of them also do not have time due to many responsibilities, activities and paper works to be
accomplished. It also shows that doing research is not a basis for them to have professional growth because
they can grow professionally in other ways like further studies or seminars and trainings. The research was
limited to teachers of San Pablo Central School. The research analyzes the Teachers’ Challenges in Doing Action
Research to be a basis for professional growth. A careful study and examination in the challenges faced by the
teachers will help them face the challenges and be able to make a research and further gives recommendations
to the school in guiding teachers make their own research.

THE EFFECTS OF BRAIN-BASED LEARNING APPROACH ON THE ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE
AND ATTITUDE OF STUDENTS IN GENETICS

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the effects of Brain-Based Learning Approach (BBLA) on the
academic, attitude and retention of Grade 8 students in Genetics. To prove the effectiveness of BBLA towards
Genetics, the researcher framed the variables as it was guided by Jensen’s (2008) theory of Brain-Based
Learning (BBL) using a Pretest-Posttest Non-equivalent Group Design. The research procedure was divided
into four protocol models: (1) the development and validator of the BBL Activity Module in Genetics (2)
administration of the pre-test on the academic performance and attitudes of biology students, (3) implementation
of the Conventional Learning Approach and BBLA in teaching Genetics, and (4) administration of posttest on the
academic performance and attitudes of students. The BBLA Module was subjected to intra-class correlation
reliability testing and content validation of experts. The module was administered to two intact groups of junior
high school students, control and experimental. Academic performance, attitude towards Genetics and learning
retention were measured before and after experimentation. Data were gathered and analyzed using dependent
and independent t-test. Results showed a higher academic performance and learning retention in the
experimental group than the control group, with both groups showing no significant change in the positive attitude
(of students) towards Genetics. The BBLA positively affects learning of students in Genetics. Other life sciences
should consider the development of more activities founded in BBLA.

A TRACER STUDY OF BAYBAYIN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (GRADE 7-12)
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES

ABSTRACT: Graduate tracer studies are designed by educational institutions to gather the perceptions of its
graduates on the relevance of their academic experiences to employment opportunities. The implementation of
the K-12 curriculum signalled a milestone in the Philippine Education System. This curriculum offered a different
path to senior high school graduates because it provided four avenues for the graduates to choose from which
are higher education, employment, entrepreneurship and middle skills development. This study is designed to
track the alumni and to determine which exit they took. It identified the profile of the graduates in terms of sex,
SHS strand, chosen exit and their reasons for choosing that exit. This also examined the significance of the
curriculum in preparing the students on which exit to take. Based from the results of the study, the respondents
are mostly male, from the HumSS strand and have pursued higher education. From the information gathered,
the top three reasons of the alumni in choosing the exit are to reach their goals and dreams, to sustain their daily
needs and pay back all their families’ sacrifices and to have an experience in the working field. The senior high
school curriculum was also found to be very significant in preparing the graduates for the exits.

ACTION RESEARCH: IMPACT OF BILINGGUAL INSTRUCTION AND PURE ENGLISH

DISCUSSION TO STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE IN SOLVING MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS

ABSTRACT: The use of English as a medium of instruction in Mathematics is the common practice this 21st
Century. However, most of the students find it hard to understand the lesson using the language. This study was
conducted to examine the effect of using bilingual instruction and pure English on students’ performance. The
respondents of this study were grade five students (40 males and 30 females) who served as controlled and
experimental group. The control group used pure english discussion while the experimental group used billingual
instruction. This used experimental type of research comparing the mean percentage score and standard
deviation of controlled and experimental group. The academic performance of the students was known by the
result of their post-test. It was found out that students perform better in solving Mathematical problems using
billingual instruction than using pure English as medium of instruction. It is important to pratice bilingual instruction
in teaching Mathematics so that the students may understand the lesson rather than using one language that will
cause students’ inability to understand the lesson very well.

ABSTRACT: The researcher opted that it is very timely to conduct an action research to test if the technique on
utilization of ICT materials would increase the awareness of the students in literacy. The researcher used “Computer
Aided Reading Intervention” in presenting the passages on silent reading during the learning process. The main
purpose of using ICT material in the school is not to give just a graphical map data but to absorb required actual
knowledge and skills. The researcher utilized the descriptive – comparative method where the research itself consider
two entities: pretest and post-test of students after the use of “Computer Aides Reading Intervention” for reading
materials in measuring reading capability. This is done for the enhancement of students’ reading skills pretest and
posttest were compared. The significant difference of the pretest and posttest were computed using the dependent t-
test. The data and information gathered were systematically checked, computed, tabulated and interpreted. Findings
show that students are more engaged to answering silent reading test when using ICT integrated activities. There is
an increase of test scores on their post test during the use of Computer Aided Reading Intervention or CARI. The study
was limited only on enhancing the reading skills of frustrated readers in grade seven student through “Computer Aided
Reading Intervention” in improving the students reading skills. This is an innovation of the traditional way of
administering silent reading test. Additionally, it gives instant result because after the students are done answering the
test scores were already computed specifically the number of correct items and the percentage.

ENHANCING PHYSICS STUDENTS’ COMPUTATIONAL THINKING AND SELF-REGULATION
USING TEAM-BASED FLIPPED INSTRUCTION
ABSTRACT: This study investigated whether students’ computational thinking (CT) and self-regulation that
learned using Team-Based Flipped Instruction (TBFI) were better than Conventional Instruction (CI). It also
determined if self-regulation is a positive predictor of CT in Physics. A two group pretest-posttest quasi-
experimental design was utilized in two intact classes of grade 10 students in public high school in San Mateo,
Rizal (S.Y. 2018-2019). Two instruments were used: Physics Computational Thinking Test (PCTT) and the Self-
Regulation Strategy Inventory – Self-Report (SRSI-SR). PCTT was a 5 –item researcher made inventory which
composed of decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm while SRSI-SR was adopted (Cleary,
2006). ANCOVA and independent samples t-test showed that students in TBFI significantly improved their CT
than CI students while self-regulation did not show a significant difference. A delayed posttest of two months
after the intervention revealed a significant improvement in the two variables. Likewise, simple linear regression
displayed self-regulation was a significant positive predictor of computational thinking. In this study, TBFI was
limited to activities outside the classroom like watching short lecture video and answering online quiz through
social media specifically Facebook. The conclusions of this study contributed to the knowledge in improving CT
and self-regulation using collaborative approaches

MINDANAO CONFLICT IN THE FICTION OF ANTONIO R. ENRIQUEZ
ABSTRACT: Issues of conflict have been pervading humanity ever since. Sometimes, a place can be so conflict-torn
that it becomes synonymous with the term itself. Such is the story of Mindanao, the second biggest island of the
country. This study looked into the depictions and resolutions of these conflicts in the perspective of a Mindanaoan
writer, Antonio R. Enriquez, in his selected historical fictions. Employing the framework of New Historicism to validate
the historical elements embedded in the literary works, the study started with the investigation and analysis of the
selected fictions. Researches, reports, historical documents, and news articles and archives substantiated the
historicity and existence of the conflicts up to the present. Conflicts that are reflective of Mindanao history included
resistance to colonization, religious enmity between Christians and Muslims, struggle between church and state,
abuses of the military and NPA during Martial Law, internal conflict within a datu, and cultural differences between
Christians and Muslims. As supported by currently written documents, all of these conflicts are unresolved and remain
tangible in the lives of the ordinary Mindanaoans as they continue to struggle with the issues of autonomy and cultural
divergence.

graduates perceived SHS curriculum effective whether they are college students, entrepreneur or employee. For those
who pursue college education, graduates narrated that their subjects were easy to understand for most of the basic
topics and background were already discussed during their senior high school days. For those who tried to be
entrepreneurs (online selling), graduates perceived that it became easy for them to sell goods or products for they are
equipped with ideas and skills necessary to be a successful one. While graduates who prefer to be an employee
described that SHS curriculum were adequate and sufficient providing them both knowledge and skills to pursue their
chosen job. Some graduates were employed as cashier, sales lady and factory worker. It is also evident that graduates
have high regard to their teachers for they viewed their teachers have high competence in teaching. For immersion,
majority of the graduates mentioned that they were satisfied with the experiences and learnings gained from the
immersion partners particularly those who thought their training is connected to their current course in college. The
study also creates an opportunity to evaluate the effects of instructional materials on optimizing student’s learning
outcomes, improvement of school facilities, as well as teacher’s performance in connection to the personality

REFINING SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON THE LOCAL HISTORY OF SAN PABLO CITY

ABSTRACT: The aim of this research is to enhance the sources of information on the local history of San Pablo
City towards a more comprehensive and reliable referencing for lesson contextualization and localization.
Specifically, it sought to determine the difficulties encountered by teachers in gathering sources, describe how
teachers gather information for lesson contextualization, and describe the perceptions of teachers in refining
sources of information on the local history. The study made use of qualitative method with action plan
development and document analysis. The study revealed that teachers find it difficult and challenging to gather
sources on local history of San Pablo City due to availability, accessibility and reliability issues. It was also found
out that the common mean of gathering information is through online research and dependence to information
provided by local officials. In addition, a refined local history of the city was found necessary to lessen difficulty
in research and expenses in gathering information.The research is focused on the local history alone which the
researchers have more familiarity. Studies on refining local histories are also limited making this research
worthwhile, timely and relevant to ensure reliability of information towards meaningful teaching and learning
experience. This study contributes to the holistic development of teachers as facilitators of learning and to
students’ learning experience. The refined sources of information will be of great help to increase positive
attitudes of learners to local history of San Pablo City and teacher’s competence in effective contextualization
and localization.

ABSTRACT: The study focused on the self-regulatory and metacognitive strategies employed in teaching
primary grade pupils in the First Congressional District of Quezon which served as basis for instructional
development program. The study used descriptive design using questionnaire as primary data gathering
instrument. Findings revealed that respondent use of metacognitive strategies is to a greater extent. In
understanding the problem, it exemplified that students read/reread (for understanding). On evaluating, it
exemplified that students have personal standards, and try to live up to them, while in searching, it suggests that
if students wanted to change, they are confident that they could do it. In addition, the respondents fairly agreed
on the effects of metacognition and self-regulation to learning abilities of primary grade pupils. Based on the
findings, it is recommended to conduct a parallel study about facilitation of learning which focused on: age
productivity of the primary grade teachers; Gender role differences of the primary grade teachers, personal
commitment and passion of the primary grade teachers, and Administrative capabilities of primary grade
teachers; to enhance the students’ ability to stimulate students’ interest in learning and studying and how they
facilitated by their teachers.

ABSTRACT: The increasing rate of dropouts and failures of Badjao students is very alarming. This study
described the influence of Culture to Badjao students’ attitude towards academic performance. It further sought
to find the factors that affect their low academic performance and find possible ways to address this concern.
This study examines the social exclusion confronting the Badjao people, the sea nomads of the Philippines,
through discourse analysis, narrative inquiry and participant observation. This program was designed to address
the prevalent issues of low academic performance of Badjao students due to culture and poverty. The idea was
to introduce and reinforce the importance of obtaining an education to have a better future. This uses qualitative
kind of research with multiple case method using SWOT Analysis. In regard to the Social Learning Theory by
Vygotsky, within the data collected, socializing has been seen as hindrance towards their learning because of
certain actions such as bullying towards them. The thesis concludes that social affiliations most particularly in
engagement and attendance to events like weddings, interment and thanksgiving influenced SHS Badjao
students’ views towards their academic performances. One recommendation for the betterment of the
performance of SHS Badjao students is to implement an action plan made by the researcher which specify
certain activities at a given period of time.

ABSTRACT: English proficiency plays a major role in the academic life of the students. This study investigated
the effects of Communicative and Structural Approaches on the speaking proficiency of the Grade 8 students of
a National High School in the Division of Gingoog City S.Y., 2017-2018. Using the Quasi-experimental Research
design, the study involved two groups of students: One group consisting of 34 students was exposed to
Communicative approach while the other group composed of 34 students was introduced to the Structural
approach. Descriptive statistics such as percentage, mean, frequency distribution and standard deviation were
used to determine the oral English proficiency of the participants before and after the interventions. After the
interventions conducted, both groups had improved in their speaking proficiency. Both Communicative and
Structural approaches were found effective in improving the students’ oral English proficiency. However, the
communicative approach has helped the students more in improving the students’ fluency. The study points to
the need for English teachers to utilize both approaches in improving the students’ oral English proficiency.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed on identifying appropriate interventions in response to the factors and reasons
that contribute to the increasing rates of dropouts in Pinamukan Integrated School from School Year 2016-2017
up to School Year 2018-2019. It also attempted to determine whether the existing school policies and guidelines
on discipline, and guidance and counseling are effectively implemented which could improve the efficiency of
teaching and learning. Aside from the school records, the researcher used interview and Focused Group
Discussion as instruments in identifying the underlying reasons behind the increasing dropout rates. From a total
of 46 recorded dropouts, it was the factor on the lack of learner’s interest that reached a total of 18 learners since
SY2016-2017. It had contributed to the growing number of dropouts within this year. Other determinants and the
number of its dropout cases were considered by the researcher such as: illness (12 learners), family problem (7),
transfer of resident (3), and child labor (6). However, interventions like guidance and counseling, and home
visitations were done by the researcher. These reasons motivated the researcher through this study to draft and
provide interventions for the dropouts.

(BNHS-VMA). The sample was chosen through purposive sampling. The study utilized one group pretest-posttest
pre-experimental research design, with combined descriptive and inferential statistical treatment. The research
instruments used to answer the problems posed in the study were the Evaluation Checklist of the Contextualized
PBL Activities, the Science Achievement Test (SAT), the Performance Rubric for the projects developed, the C-
PBL Lesson Plans, the Classroom Observation Guide (COG), and the Students’ Learning Experiences Survey
Questionnaire (SLESQ). SAT scores of the students revealed pretest and posttest means of 8.14 and 36.14,
respectively. This indicates that the students performed better in the posttest than in the pretest. The t-test for
paired samples resulted to a t-value of 198.81 and a p-value of 0.000. This means that the difference between
the pretest and the posttest mean is significant. For the project performance of the students in the C-PBL the
overall mean rating of the students on their project is 2.51 interpreted as very good. The C-PBL activities tend to
enhance students’ achievement in science.

ABSTRACT: Solving Mathematics Word Problem has been part of the least mastered skill always among the
elementary and even in secondary students, for the reasons that pupils/students find it hard to comprehend and
even translate verbal phrase into mathematical phrase. Most Elementary teachers currently teaching have not
been students in a classroom where problem solving was emphasize in their mathematics program. The current
study aims to determine the acceptability of Block Method Approach to Elementary Teacher as an Alternative
way of teaching mathematics word problem. In this manner, the researchers demonstrate the Approach first to
the 68 elementary teachers (New Teachers, Teachers I-III, Master Teachers) in 4 public elementary school in
Taytay District II before giving them the questionnaires for them to have idea on how to use the Block Method
Approach in teaching Mathematics word problems. The research results show that BMA are very acceptable to
the teachers in terms of Introduction, Objectives, Content, Presentation, Application, Uses, and Clarity. It is also
found out that there is no significant difference on the acceptability of the teachers with regards to their level and
their positions. Based on the research result, Block Method Approach is very accepted to the Elementary
Teachers as an Alternative Way of Teaching Mathematics Word Problems.

ABSTRACT: This study assessed the conceptions of the respondents in JHS basic science concepts that
included earth science, biology, chemistry and physics. It utilized the quantitative – qualitative research design
with the 33 JHS science teachers of the whole Baggao district of the school year 2017 – 2018 as respondents.
Based on the results of the findings, profile variables of the respondents such as age, major, education,
experience and training did not influence the basic science conceptions of the respondents; varied
misconceptions in basic science concepts were prevalent from the respondents with poor communication skill in
using the English language. It was recommended that training in content knowledge of basic science concepts
should be conducted that primarily addresses those science subjects which are not the major fields of
specialization of the respondents that are now taught in the classroom under the K to 12 Curriculum with the
English language to be used intensively as the medium of instruction. Change the curriculum in the baccalaureate
and graduate studies for incoming JHS science teachers by including the four science subjects which are Earth
Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics as major fields of specialization. Conduct further study on this topic and
developmental training for JHS science teachers to address their problem on content knowledge about science
subjects that are not their major fields of specialization.

ABSTRACT: The researcher conducted this research to help pupils improve their ability in writing sentences
through exposure in Subject –Verb Agreement. The study utilized descriptive design of research. The findings
showed that exposure to SVA rules improved pupils’ performance in constructing sentences. There was an
increase in the mean percentage score from 35.03% during the pre-test and a result of 75.52% in the post test.
It focused only on Subject- Verb Agreement. Respondents were limited to one section which consists of 33
Grade Six Pupils. The same study may not be applicable to lower grades. However, Grade six pupils in the
succeeding year would benefit from it, for teachers, this would serve as their guide in conducting researches
similar to this. Most action researches focus on reading that they tend to neglect the importance of skills in
writing. Since most skills in grade six English involve composing sentences, this action research would be a big
help.

ABSTRACT: The study was entirely completed to determine the effectiveness of Learning Action Cell for
Students (LACS) in the select Grade 7 students of Dayap National High School to enhance the Awareness on
Republic Act 10627 or Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 for the S.Y. 2016 - 2017. Purposive sampling was employed
among the respondents wherein Grade 7 - Aquino and Grade 7 - Malvar were identified with the most number of
reported cases of bullying. The descriptive design was employed and weighted mean was utilized as statistical
treatment to measure the results. Prior to the conduct of LACS, students were categorically slightly aware on
Republic Act 10627 or Anti-Bullying Act of 2013. The researchers resort to the possible reasons of why the
students get involved in different bullying activities in school. After completing the conduct of LACS, the previous
general weighted mean of 3.36 became 4.33. This means that there was an increase of 0.97 or 28.87% which
was interpreted as “extremely aware”. Generally, the researchers concluded that the administration of LACS was
seen to be effective to enhance the level of awareness of Grade 7 Aquino and Grade 7 - Malvar on Republic Act
10627 or Anti-Bullying Act of 2013.

who tend to just accept their situations. Furthermore, the students typically find the judgment of other people as
an issue which keep them from hiding what they feel. As a result, students tend to distance themselves. Students
said that the significance of hiding emotions is that no one would misinterpret their situation. Future researchers
may use this research as a basis on how disclosing emotion affects teenagers, and what are the barriers affecting
them not to.

ABSTRACT: This study determined the underlying challenges that hinder a school to perform at its best. The
Mathematics department, together with their HT and MT plus the LAC coordinator spear-headed this SGD so as
to implement such agreements to the greater number of teachers in their delivery of instructions. Qualitative
method was employed where in a deep, comprehensive facts and reports were gathered as the necessary
database which were of great help in assessing problems and creating solutions to such problems. Results of
the study revealed that students transparently manifested the problems met during Math class such as
absenteeism, inability to express themselves, non-participation to group activities and exercises. This paved the
way for the teachers to form the SGD and come up with feasible solutions with the assistance of the Head
Teacher, Master Teacher and the LAC Coordinator. With the conferment of the group, agreed solutions and
recommendations were implemented and little by little progress was felt among the learners. The research is
School-Based in nature, an innovation done to come up with functional SGD (Small Group Discussion) that would
change the perspective of students in the teaching-learning cycle and focus themselves on improving their
performances in school.

ABSTRACT: English proficiency plays a major role in the academic life of the students. This study investigated
the effects of Communicative and Structural Approaches on the speaking proficiency of the Grade 8 students of
a National High School in the Division of Gingoog City S.Y., 2017-2018. Using the Quasi-experimental Research
design, the study involved two groups of students: One group consisting of 34 students were exposed to
Communicative approach while the other group composed of 34 students were introduced to the Structural
approach. Descriptive statistics such as percentage, mean, frequency distribution and standard deviation were
used to determine the oral English proficiency of the participants before and after the interventions. After the
interventions conducted, both groups had improved in their speaking proficiency. Both Communicative and
Structural approaches were found effective in improving the students’ oral English proficiency. However, the
communicative approach has helped the students more in improving the students’ fluency. The study points to
the need for English teachers to utilize both approaches in improving the students’ oral English proficiency.

ABSTRACT: The main focus of this study determined the integration of Information Communication Technology
as assessed by the teachers in selected public elementary schools at Baras, Rizal, as assessed by the heads,
and the teachers themselves. The results of the study can be used as basis for improving the instructional
delivery. The descriptive survey method was used to collect quantitative information by setting up a condition
that allowed respondent to answer the survey questionnaire through checklist about integration on instructional
technologies and capabilities of their school. The results showed that the extent of integration of ICT in terms of
Entry Stage has an overall mean score of 3.47 that indicates the extent of ICT is Fully Integrated. The extent of
integration of ICT reveals that Entry stage, Adoption, Adaption, Appropriation, and Innovation accept the null
hypothesis which therefore reveals that there is a significant difference between the assessments of the two
groups of respondents on the extent of integration of ICT. The respondents are accepting positively and
integrating technology to their classes. Moreover, adaption to technology in schools is implemented, however
without enough computer units to put up with how many students is a challenge to the school and the teachers.

ABSTRACT: Disciplining students is one of the most stressful part of being a teacher. Handling 30-60 students
with different behavior is indeed hard. Teachers do everything they could, apply every step, helpful, and strategize
in teaching so that they can cater all of them. They also give rewards and extra grades for those students who
performed better. The Researchers conduct this study to lessen the misbehavior committed by the students. The
researchers utilized experimental research design. For this purpose, 90 pupils from two sections of Grade V were
selected by selecting through simple random sampling. After choosing the respondents, the researcher
administered the Merit and Demerit Report to the respondents. Then the experimental group was exposed to it
for two weeks. The control group was exposed to traditional method of discipline. Data were tallied, and
computed utilizing appropriate statistical tools. It has been proved that using Merit and Demerit Report to grade
five and in teaching values is effective based on the results of the study as per number of the pupils who
committed misbehavior of MPS from 47.16 % of unexposed to16% after exposing to Merit and Demerit Report
at the end of the target date implementation.

used. The findings (x̅ =4.608, SD=.553) commitment on the VMGO (x̅ =4.64, SD=.5098), the teaching profession
(x̅ =4.608, SD=.553), and the teacher-respondents on teachers’ commitment in terms of pupils’ welfare (x̅ =4.568,
SD=.520) was highly committed. The finding shows that the perception of the teacher-respondents on teachers’
attitude towards children (x̅ =4.144, SD=1.423) were positive. The finding reveals that the perception of the
teacher-respondents on teachers’ teaching style (x̅ =4.06, SD=.18) were committed. The correlation reveals that
the number of dropouts and the teachers’ commitment, teachers’ attitude towards children has no significant
relationship. While the number of dropouts and teachers’ teaching style has a significant relationship. The
findings resulted in the partial acceptance of the hypothesis stating that: “There is significant relationship exist
between the factors related to kindergarten and the dropouts among kindergarten pupils in selected schools in
the Division of Dasmariñas, Cavite.”

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study is to determine the profile, misconceptions, assess the performance of Virac
North’s Science VI teachers in selected astronomy concepts and identify if there is a significant difference
between their performance as reflected by their mean scores and their profile. Mixed method design was used
and a three-tier conceptual test (BACTTIM) was adapted. The result showed that majority of the Science VI
teachers of Virac North have no specialization (67%) and has taught Science VI for more than10 years (40%).
The mean performance of the teachers is low, and no significant difference was found in their mean performance
scores and their profile. Misconceptions were found in the concepts of differentiating stars from planets when
observed from Earth; characteristics of the universe; differentiating meteors, meteorites, and asteroids; size
comparison of celestial bodies; and definition of light-year. It is therefore recommended to identify any
misconceptions teachers might possess, and take measures to increase conceptual knowledge of teachers in
astronomy through in-service trainings, participation in seminars, workshops and short courses related to
astronomy. The study is limited in the astronomy concepts and respondents involved.

were the main data-gathering instrument to find out the problems encountered by the students whose parents
are OFW. It was evident that most OFW are caregivers, (15 out of 41) thus majority of them were mothers who
are supposed to be at home to take care of their children. It is the reason why most students experience being
alone especially during important occasions or school activities where parents’ active participation is mostly
needed. It only proved that having an OFW parent is a contributory factor on the academic achievement of the
students. It revealed that having those above-mentioned problems, their academic performance is hampered
and affected. The approved action plan will bridge the gap between families of OFW and their children. It will
help teachers to provide assistance to them and will improve their performance in school. The action plan will be
utilized by all teachers of Gov. F. Leviste Memorial National High School.

ABSTRACT: The researchers want to prove that regular library users will benefit from the meaningful early
literacy experiences available through story books and other reading materials donated by the private schools.
This study used the descriptive- qualitative method. The survey that the researchers had conducted indicated
that through LIBRO sa BARYO Project the children have enhanced their reading ability in the sense that
interesting stories are now available in the library. Before launching this project, it was so obvious that the learners
do not have much interest in reading as shown in their regular reading comprehension check which further implies
that they do not understand what they read. Factors that may contribute to enhance the reading ability of the
learners thru the Libro sa Baryo Project include provision of variety of reading materials - with the different printed
reading materials , whether they are tailored to different age ranges , these can already increase interest in
reading especially to the primary grades. The school-based program entitled “Peer Assisted Reading (PAR)”, is
a design plan for Grades 3 up to Grade 6 wherein this utilizes 3:30 in the afternoon as the school reading remedial
time. Then, after that they pair the learners with those pupils who are good in reading based from the PHIL-IRI
results conducted in the 1st Quarter.

ABSTRACT: This descriptive study aimed to determine the impact of the Gingoog City preschools’ adherence
to the DepEd standards. Respondents of this study were the randomly selected Grade 1 pupils of public and
private schools as well as public and private preschool administrators and teachers in Gingoog City. Findings of
the study reveal that the DepEd-Gingoog City Division was successful in its mandate regarding the adherence
of the preschools to the prescribed classroom setup and utilization of the mother tongue language. The
adherence to these DepEd Orders contributes positively to the overall class performance of the pupils. The pupils’
reading proficiency level decreased when mother tongue was used as medium of instruction and also when the
preschools followed the standard class program flow. There is however a good impact on the overall class
performance of the pupils as the schools adhere to the DepEd mandates concerning preschools. It is
recommended that the adherence on the classroom setup be strengthened; that the existing curriculum on the
mother tongue subject area and its impact on the reading proficiency level of the pupils be reviewed.

ABSTRACT: This basic research aimed to find out the influence of school based feeding program on nutritional
status and school performance of twenty three (23) grade 4-6 learners. These learners were among the recipients
of the 2018 School Based Feeding Program Fund from the DepEd Central Office Supplementary Feeding fund.
The learners were provided with free lunch at the school’s feeding room. Likewise, these learners were provided
with Health lessons before feeding sessions as well as guided reading activities based from the Phil IRI Graded
passages in Filipino to support their reading difficulties. The learners were purposively selected based from their
nutritional status and reading profile in terms of word and concept cognition. Simple Mean was used to analyze
reading and cognition assessment result while anthropometric measure was used to determine BMI and
nutritional status. Findings revealed 100% normal nutritional status while reading and cognition assessments
showed improved learning outcomes using Group reading strategy in line with Vygotsky’s theory of Zone of
Proximal Development. The findings are also in consonance with Ross (2010) who posited that there is an
important link between nutrition and learning.
