Effective Mathematics Intervention Program for Grade Six Pupils of Senator

Claro M. Recto Memorial Integrated School through Fb: Fraction Bars
Lorena Dumapit, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The recent results of the National Achievement Test in Sen. Claro M. Recto Memorial Integrated
School indicate low performance in the different areas of learning; especially thus, this action research
was conducted. This study will help to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the students in the
area of Mathematics. In addition, this will be the backbone of the school in order to improve the
performance of the Grade Six Pupils. Another basis of launching FB: Fraction is the result of the First
Quarterly Test of the Grade Six Pupils. Item analysis conducted by the researcher shows results that are
not very impressive. FB: Fraction Bar is perfect for flipped classroom math teachers and pupils. This
lesson is aligned with the common core learning standards for math and the k-12 math curriculum as
well.
METHODS
The researcher used the Descriptive research which involves the description, recording, analysis, and
interpretation of the present nature, composition or process of the phenomenon.
RESULTS
The findings reveal that the pupils improved their understanding of fractions. There is a total of 6 or
96% of pupils passed the post-test however, 1 or 14% failed in the given test. This is due to the number
of absences of the clientele. The correct responses of each identified pupil who did not pass the post-
test using the Teacher-Made Test were tabulated and tallied. The post-assessment test shows that there
is an increase of almost 42% in the 4 competencies involving fractions. However, pupils obtained a
lower number of correct responses in Operation on fractions and Word Problems Involving Fractions
with respective percentages of 71% and 67%. The findings reveal that the pupils improved their
understanding of fractions.
DISCUSSIONS
Overall, the researchers found that the FB or Fraction Bar tasks were successful in supporting student
learning. However, even with this highly researched, refined, and a sequenced group of learning objects,
there were important contexts that affected the success of FB use by specific students. The three
interacting contexts were related to technical, teaching and student factors that operated simultaneously
in the learning environment of FB implementation. The revealing of these contexts through the study
led the researchers to develop a guide to support teacher implementation of FB. This intervention
clearly illustrates the ways that researchers and educators could help generate better conditions for
student learning.

Effective Reading Interventions to Improve Low Reading Performance of

Pupils in Batangas City East Elementary School 2016-2017
Vicenta Ebora, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The goal of Batangas City East Elementary School is to produce good/independent readers and to have
better achievement in all learning area but the result of PHIL-IRI administered to pupils showed low
reading performance. Seventy-one pupils out of 233 or 30.47% of the learners were under the
frustration level. This finding sets off the principal to conduct action research on the most effective
reading interventions that would help improve the low reading level of learners.
Reading interventions are techniques or activities that can be used to help students with reading
difficulties improve their performance. These interventions if properly implemented can be really of
great help to pupils improve their ability to read and comprehend. However, teachers usually utilize
inappropriate techniques in dealing with these struggling readers.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research using the questionnaire as the data gathering instrument was used.
Thirty-seven teacher-advisers of Batangas City East Elementary School were the respondents/subjects
of study. Informal interviews were conducted to supplement the gathered data. The percentage, ranking
and weighted mean were the statistical tools used to analyze and interpret the gathered data.
RESULTS
From the analysis of data, the researcher came up with the following findings: the effective intervention
activities to improve the low reading level of pupils were determining the reading interests and abilities
of pupils, utilizing appropriate teaching reading technique, conducting tutorial during supervised study,
allowing extra time in reading, organizing a peer reading scheme and provision for a remedial reading in
a small group setting; the reading materials the pupils enjoy reading were storybooks, basic textbooks
and magazines and pupils were interested in reading fairy tales, fables, and short stories.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the need for the teachers to implement effective intervention activities to
enhance the low reading level of the pupils; utilize appropriate technique and sufficient reading materials
suited to the needs of pupils and adjust reading instruction and materials to the reading achievements,
interests and ability of each pupil. The School head, on the other hand, needs to closely monitor the
implementation of reading interventions to track the progress of the pupils and to determine the
improvement in their performance.

Effective School Activities to Remediate Absenteeism
Rona Mercado, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The CI Project of PEN intended to address the pressing problem of absenteeism that resulted in poor
learning outcomes. The record showed on the school form 2, 24 or 10% out of 246 K-3 pupils missed
their classes due to absenteeism.
Based on Section 25 and 31 of the Education Act 1989, every school board must take all reasonable
steps to make sure students attend school when it is open. Although there are some practical
requirements, including maintaining the daily attendance register, it is up to individual schools to
identify the scope of all reasonable steps in their attendance policies. School boards must give support
when attendance issues arise. It is believed that surmounting this issue will raise the performance of K-3
pupils of PEN.
METHODS
Our Guidance Counselor consolidated the monthly attendance of pupils through the use of SF2 and
SF4. We found out that 24 pupils from K-3 constantly made absences for 3 consecutive months. We
conducted meetings to orient the parents about the project, got their approval, analyzed and studied the
students' background. The CI Team prepared survey forms for parents and pupils. Aside from parents
and pupils, teachers were also interviewed as part of getting the voice of the customer.
RESULTS
Based on the analysis of interviews and questionnaires conducted, the leading causes of pupil's
absenteeism identified by the CI team were using mono teaching and strategies in teaching and limited
reading materials. The CI team formulated solutions to address the root causes to ensure that the target
specified in the objective would be achieved within a period of three months. These were mentoring
and coaching workshops and in-service training of teachers, teacher-parent made materials and
launching of Project READ (Read Enjoy and Discover). Through the activities are undertaken, the
pupils have improved their academic performance, developed good attendance as a habit that the
children need to form cooperation and teamwork.
The number of absenteeism decreased by 3 or 1.21 % from 24 or 10% K-3 pupils of Paaralang
Elementarya ng Nagsaulay by January 2017.
DISCUSSIONS
PEN combated absenteeism, created active participation of pupils, established pupils' rapport in the
classroom and developed a sense of gregariousness. We believed that the way to achieve your target is to
be protean and discern the value of commitment and teamwork. We need continuous monitoring and
evaluation for future steps and sustainability.

Effective Strategies in Teaching Technology and Livelihood Education to

Selected Grade 9 Students in Batangas National High School
Angelica Blanca, Saint Bridget College
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In the world of teaching, there are different strategies used by different teachers, which are based on the
abilities and capabilities of students. Since they are facing the 21st century where there are different
technologies, new forms of information, communication and collaboration are widely used in teaching
Technology and Livelihood Education. Teaching strategies play an essential role in teaching specifically
to the development and enhancement of the students' performance. This study aims to determine the
effective strategies in teaching technology and livelihood education to selected grade 9 students in
Batangas National High School.
METHODS
This research utilized 127 students from the 1278 total numbers of grade 9 students that are taking
TLE subjects and 10 TLE teachers in Batangas National High School. The researchers used quantitative
research and applied stratified random sampling to select the total number of students. The data were
obtained through the questionnaires provided by the researchers.
RESULTS
After the careful analysis and interpretation of the data gathered, the respondents perceived that they
agreed upon the strategies employed by the teachers in teaching TLE. Moreover, the respondents
perceived that there are effects of the utilization of teaching strategies in students' attitudes and
performance in class. In terms of the problem encountered, there are two serious problems which were
a lack of teachers in teaching TLE and a short period of time in doing certain tasks. These findings led
to a proposed plan of action that would be used as an instrument to enhance the effective strategies in
teaching TLE.
DISCUSSIONS
The researchers recommend that the school administration may conduct a seminar that would deal with
the personal development and capabilities to encourage the incoming college students about the benefits
of teachers taking technology and livelihood education as their specialization of teaching. The school
may produce a teacher's module for teaching strategies that will surely discuss the effective strategies
that would help them to widen their knowledge beyond things and enhance their teachers' competency.

combinations of these. The choice of teaching method or methods to be used depends largely on the
information or skill that is being taught, and it may also be influenced by the aptitude and enthusiasm of
the students. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of various teaching methods used for
teaching students among students at AMA Computer College Cavite Campus.
METHODS
The convenient Sampling method was applied to this study. The researchers used the survey
questionnaire method to gather input from the students. The main objective of this measurement is to
find out which among the different teaching methods is best and interesting for the students.
RESULTS
Students studying in AMA Cavite Campus were interviewed about their perceptions of best and
effective teaching methods and the reason for that. Most of the students rated the lecture method as the
best teaching method. Reasons included; the teacher provides all knowledge related to the topic, time-
saving, students attentively listen to lectures and take notes, etc. The group discussion was rated as the
second-best method of teaching because of; more participation of students, the learning is more
effective, the students don't have to rely on rote learning, and this method develops creativity among
students, etc.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of the study can be used as a tool in enhancing the current methodologies used by the
instructors of AMA Cavite Campus. Furthermore, this study will help instructors in motivating their
students in their studies.

Effective Use of Marungko Approach as Reading Intervention among

Grade1 Pupils at LES
Gliceria B. Bathan, Jennie Rose Santos, & Marife A. Bool, Department of

Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The ability to read well is said to be the best achievement in one's life. But most of the pupils nowadays
find it difficult to deal with. In our program, we encountered varying reading levels of pupils and how
the MARUNGKO Approach aided those low performing ones to excel in reading.
METHODS
A qualitative method of research was utilized in the study. The respondents of the study were 22
beginning and struggling readers in Grade 1 which was identified through a pre-reading assessment. A
reading intervention was conducted and interpreted well through the use of MARUNGKO approach to
all the pupils who became part of the study.
RESULTS
As the intervention was practiced there are improvements that were shown among the pupils. During
the administration of Post reading assessment, none of them was considered as non-reader. There is still
a need to implement reading programs to pupils under the struggling level to make their reading level
suitable for what is expected to their grade level. The findings implied that Marungko Approach is very
effective to lessen the non-readers and to increase the reading levels of the pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the need for active involvement between the teacher, pupils, and parents in
order for the MARUNGKO Approach to be effective. The guidance given in this early age was a
constant factor in the success of the reading program.

Effectiveness of 3 Minutes Daily Drill in Improving the Multiplication Skills

of Grade 7 Students
Joel Fababaer, New Era National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
To produce 21st Century Learner has been the goal of the Department of Education for all Filipino
students, but this yet far from reality for most of our students, especially in public schools. Our low
ranking of our country in the previously held TIMMS and the declining result of our student's
mathematics in the National Achievement Test (NAT) are reflections where our students now. And the
increasing number of non-numerate students enrolling in Grade 7 had been very alarming. In this study,
we will determine the effectiveness of 3 minutes daily drill in improving the multiplication skills of non-
numerate Grade 7 students and measure the automaticity and accuracy of the students in multiplying
single digit numbers.
METHODS
A One-Group Quasi-Experimental design was used in this study. Data were treated through the use of
frequency count, percentage, T scale, mean, and standard deviation.
RESULTS
(a) The comparative results on the automaticity level showed that many of the identified non-numerate
students have least nor mastered the multiplication table before they enter high school, most of the
students were "very poor" or "poor" in performing single digit multiplication indication why most of the
students were not participating in class discussion or not answering questions related to multiplication.
(b) After the intervention, many of the students had greatly improved their automaticity from" Poor" to
"Very Satisfactory" in their performance. This indication proves the effectiveness of the 3 minutes oral
drill intervention(c) In addition, after the intervention, most of the students showed an improvement in
their accuracy whereas most students belong to the "excellent and Best Imaginable" level. The
improvement of the skill of the students shows the positive effect of the intervention applied to them.
DISCUSSIONS
The significant difference in the pre-test and the post-test results proves the effectiveness of 3 minutes
oral drill in improving the skills of the students in performing multiplication of one-digit number. It
implies that even though oral drills are just basic activities (elementary drill), its positive effect cannot be
denied in improving the automaticity and accuracy of our high school students, especially to our non-
numerate students. In light of the conclusion, it is recommended that teachers should focus on
improving the basic skills of the students for this is their foundation of learning a higher concept of
mathematics. Drills like recitation, window cards, and flashcards are not just for elementary students, it
can be used as an intervention to improve the mathematical skills of our high school students.

Effectiveness of a Contextualized Reading Module in English for Grade-7

Students
Lusvintel Solis
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the difficulties faced by secondary school teachers today is that many students come into their
classrooms without the requisite knowledge, skills, or disposition to read and comprehend the materials
placed before them. To address this gap, the researcher is motivated to conduct this study in order to
determine the effectiveness of a contextualized reading module in English for Grade 7 students in
Banate National School.
METHODS
A 50-item teacher-made test was administered prior to the conduct of the experiment and the same
instrument was used in the post-test to determine the effectiveness of a contextualized reading module
in English. Utilizing a quasi-experimental research design, two heterogeneous sections were identified.
Grade 7 - Cabrera was the experimental group that was treated with a contextualized reading module
while students from Grade 7 - Villareal were the control group who were taught using conventional
instructional materials.
RESULTS
Both groups were at the lowest level in reading comprehension during the pretest. However, during the
posttest results showed that both groups were still at the frustration level. Similarly, the mean gain score
rating of the experimental group was higher than the control group. Additionally, there was no
significant difference between the pretest mean score ratings of the two groups. Yet, there was a
significant difference between the posttest mean score rating. Finally, there was a significant difference
in the mean gain scores ratings between the control and experimental groups which meant that the
reading module was indeed effective.
DISCUSSIONS
The result of the pretest means score rating showed that both groups were comparable. Furthermore,
the result revealed that there was an increase in the level of students' reading comprehension in the
posttest compared to the pretest. There was a significant difference between the pretest mean score
rating of the control and experimental groups. Thus, there was a significant difference between the
control and experimental groups in the pretest, posttest and mean gain score ratings. Therefore, the
utilization of a contextualized reading module is effective in improving the reading comprehension of
Grade 7 students.

Effectiveness of Algebra Tiles in Improving the Performance of Grade 8

Students in Addition and Subtraction of Integers
Carmelita Bellido, Jozieflyn Garrovillas, & Marly Joy Dela Cruz, Daraetan
Integrated School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One common learning issue that impacts the student's ability to do math is having a weak foundation. It
doesn't just affect them at school but the challenges can also create difficulties in daily life. There are
struggles with the mechanics of doing the math, such as being able to recall math facts and perform
higher Mathematics. They may understand the logic behind math, but not how or when to apply what
they know to solve math problems. To address this issue, mathematics teachers should innovate
strategies that will help the students strengthen their foundation in learning mathematics. One of these
strategies that the researchers perceived is the use of manipulatives in teaching the foundations of higher
mathematics. The researchers believed that it can be used as a powerful tool in mathematics education
because it does not only allow students to construct their own cognitive models for abstract
mathematical ideas but it also engages them and increases both their interests and enjoyment in
mathematics.
METHODS
The experimental method of research was used to gather relevant data that can be used for the purpose
of the study. The researcher utilized the Algebra tiles in teaching lessons in Mathematics. The
respondents will be given pre-assessment on the addition and subtraction of integers. The respondents
of the study were the one hundred twenty-two (122) grade, eight students. Through total enumeration
sampling, the first section will be identified and designated as the control group, while the second
section was the experimental group.
RESULTS
The results of the test administered to the two groups of respondents explained that the students in the
experimental group who were taught with Algebra Tiles performed better than the control group. The
control group attained the mean percentage score of 54.30 percent lower than the mean percentage
score of the experimental group of 54.68 percent. It may imply that appropriate approaches like
integration facilitate learning and understanding on the part of the students. Therefore, in this fast-
changing world, teachers must combine technology aids to further enhance the learning ability of the
students.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the result the used of Algebra tiles in Mathematics provide more effective learning for the
learners than the traditional method of teaching. Encourage the teachers to use Algebra tiles in their
respective grade levels in order to continue the effective teaching-learning process among learners.

Effectiveness of an Interactive Reading Tool among Grade III Low

Performing Pupils in Reading Comprehension Based on PHIL- IRI Result
Dianne Johraine Capunitan, Master Teacher I
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The PHIl-IRI is an assessment tool that evaluates the reading proficiency level of elementary
pupils. It is the first validated instrument that intends to measure the pupils' reading comprehension
level. The pupils' word recognition and comprehension ability, as well as his/her reading speed, are
informally assessed quantitatively and qualitatively through stories and passages.
Thus, Halang ES identified low performing pupils in Grade III based on the result of PHIL-IRI SY
2016-2017.
METHODS
The method of research to be used by the researcher is descriptive through progressive data collection.
The descriptive design is intended to give more information about particular characteristics in a
particular field of study.
The study used 51 low performing Grade III pupils in Halang Elementary School. The statistical tool
used was a t-test to determine the significant difference between the pre-test and the post-test.
RESULTS
After six months of implementation having the baseline of 51 pupils identified as low performing
pupils, showed a 90% progress in the performance. There were 44 pupils who showed progression and
5 pupils were under regression, with the following reasons: health condition, absences, and family
problems.
DISCUSSIONS
The study has improved the study habits of learners as well as their academic performance.
It is then encouraged that remedial class hours will be of great help to disseminate such activities
to further determine the ability of the low performing and then focus on the need for improvement and
recommend teachers to use the tool and consider making other innovative and interactive instructional
material that may help to enhance pupils' reading abilities and comprehension.

Effectiveness of Audio-Recorded Strategic Intervention Material in

Enhancing Students' Reading Comprehension
Sarah Jane Nanola, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The problem in teaching struggling readers in high school may not be a simple problem for high school
teachers. In a sense, when the struggling students reached high school level, it would be hard for them
to catch up with the lessons since reading is the primary tool for learning in high school. Likewise,
teachers in high school may find teaching quite frustrating for struggling readers since high school
competencies no longer focus on the basics of reading. Hence, this study would try to prove the
effectiveness of the use of local community resources through the Audio-Recorded Strategic
Intervention Materials in bringing the solution to reading problems of high school students.
METHODS
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 to compare the formative test results of the thirty student- respondents from the
comparison group and thirty 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
Results revealed that the localized audio-recorded material was generally effective. The presentation,
content, and technical requirements gained an average score of 4.56 described as excellent. Based on the
findings of this study, the null hypothesis stating that there is no significant difference between the
performances of the two groups of student-respondents - experimental and comparison groups
informative test is rejected. Similarly, there was a significant difference between the results of the post-
tests of the two groups of student-respondents. Thus, the null hypothesis stating that there is no
significant difference between the performance of the comparison group and experimental group of
respondents in post-test is rejected.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, teachers and administrators need to use the
developed ARSIM in teaching English literature 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. For better results, further enhancement in the recording of voice and editing shall be
taken into consideration. Future researchers may conduct a similar study using the ARSIM approach in
other English topics which are not within the scope of this study.

INTRODUCTION
Teachers are one of the prime factors that help the students improve their standard of living and seek
knowledge through quality education. Part of the development is to provide activities for family and
community involvement to ensure a school climate focused on learning. However, those in the middle
age, and have stayed long in the service may like to refrain from joining community activities. They feel
tired of actively engaging in community affairs. The purpose of this paper is to provide research and
recommendations specifically in addressing the area of classroom management and stakeholder's
involvement to improve outcomes focused on positive climate and behavior of pupils.
METHODS
This was a descriptive study to determine the effectiveness of classroom management and stakeholder's
involvement in building a positive climate for learning and pupil's prosocial behavior in Pila District.
RESULTS
Classroom management in terms of planning has a significant effect on the physical environment,
effective and comforting, moreover controlling is significant to physical and helping. However, planning
has no significant effect on cooperating and helping. Controlling is not significant on effective,
cooperating and comforting. Organizing is not significant in the physical environment, effective
environment, cooperating, helping and comforting. On stakeholder's involvement in terms of school
activities, it is significant on the physical environment, in terms of parental activities it is significant to
cooperating while in terms of community activities it is significant on effective. However, school
activities are not significant to effective, cooperating, helping and comforting. In addition, parental
activities are not significant to the physical environment, effective, helping and comforting.
Furthermore, in terms of community activities, not significant to physical, cooperating, helping and
comforting. It means that stakeholders should be closely involved to ensure a close and good working
relationship. Stakeholders should be adequately informed, provide feedback which can positively
influence the success and development of the school.
DISCUSSIONS
It means that after planning, the teachers must monitor the performance of their pupils through proper
controlling and guiding. Stakeholders should be closely involved to ensure a close and good working
relationship. They should be adequately informed, provide feedback which can positively influence the
success and development of the school.

a course of action was proposed to improve classroom observations and in-service training.
METHODS
Aimed at determining the significance of classroom observation and in-service training to the public
elementary school teachers of San Juan District, the study employed the descriptive research design. The
respondents of this study were 238 from the public elementary school teachers in the West and East
Areas of San Juan District.
RESULTS
The great extent of the beneficial effects of in-service training on the personal growth of the teachers
was garnered. This was substantiated by creating conditions conducive to the continuous professional
development of teachers. The significant effects in-service trainings on the personal growth of teachers
reach a great extent. There was no significant difference between the significance derived from
classroom observation and in-service training on both professional and personal growth. The teachers
showed the great extent of improvement derived from classroom observations and in-service training.
There was a highly significant relationship between the significance derived from classroom
observations and in-service training on both professional and personal growth of teachers correlated
with the teachers' level of improvement.
DISCUSSIONS
Classroom observation is of great significance to the teachers' professional and personal growth and
development. In-service training also contributes much to the teachers' growth and development. The
significance derived from classroom observations is very close to derived from in-service training. The
public elementary school teachers manifested great improvement as an offshoot of classroom
observations and in-service training.

Effectiveness of Code-Switching in Students' Achievement in Science 10
Cecilia C. Papa, John Ritchie V. Reyes, & Myla Mendoza, LNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Code-switching, as defined by Numan and Carter (2001) is the act of shifting back and forth from one
language to another during a conversation, in a single situation and sometimes within a single sentence.
Science is taught using English as instructed by the Department of Education. This study investigated
the use of code-switching and whether this medium of instruction would bring a significant effect on
students' achievement in Science 10.
METHODS
The quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was used. The experimental group was taught using
code-switching while the control group was taught using pure English as a medium of instruction. To
gauge their achievement, one of the researchers prepared a 60-item test T-test of dependent means was
used to determine if there was a significant improvement in each group achievement, while t-test of
independent means was used if there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of two
media of instruction.
RESULTS
The study showed that both the control and the experimental groups had the same level of
achievement in the pre-test which was described as Fairly Satisfactory. On the other hand, they both
improved as reflected in the results of their posttest which were described as Satisfactory. There were
significant improvements in the achievement of both groups taught using code-switching and pure
English. However, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of both media.
DISCUSSIONS
The results revealed that using code-switching is just as effective as pure English as a medium of
instruction. Code-switching may be considered as an alternative medium of instruction for Science to
help the students comprehend the lesson and express themselves well.

Effectiveness of Collecting Recyclable Materials for Financial Assistance to

the Select SARDO (Students at Risk of Dropping Out) in Victoria Senior
High School, Victoria, Laguna
Jovy Larrios & Laguna Jona Elca, Department of Education Laguna
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Rate of students' absenteeism has alarmed the school during the first year of implementation of the K-
12 program in Victoria Senior High School (2016-2017). In this Action Research, the proponents aimed
at helping Students at Risk of Dropping Out (SARDO) in their difficulties in coming to school by
finding ways and means for their academic performance.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was used in this action research to analyze the data systematically.
It intended to give more information about a particular characteristic within a particular field of
research. We surveyed about the problems that students encountered which affected their academic
performance. Based on the survey, we conducted home visitations to verify the answers of the select
students with a severe case of absenteeism. Then, we came up with the solution of collecting recyclable
materials and selling them. The monthly amount collected from the sales was then divided into Five (5)
SARDO's (Students at Risk of Dropping Out) as financial assistance for their daily travel expenses.
RESULTS
The study exhibited the recyclable materials that were commonly brought by students at school. This
was grouped into three: plastic bottles, bottles and white papers with their respective amount of money
earned by selling. They are as follows: plastic bottles with P225.00, bottles with P75.00 and white papers
with P150.00 with a total amount of P450.
The compared number of absences of SARDO between the first semester and second semester revealed
the following. During the first semester, students A, B, C, D, and E had 18, 17, 20 and 20 absences
respectively. It seemed that all of them were frequently missing school. While in the second-semester
students A, B, C, D, and E had 1, 1, 1, 0 and 64 absences respectively. It revealed that 80% of the
SARDO were saved from drop out. A relevant change took place when the earned for recyclable
materials and sponsorship were utilized to lessen the dropout rate at Victoria Senior High School. There
was a difference between the number of absences of SARDO during the first semester and second-
semester attendances. SARDO reduced at 80% at risk of dropping out in S.Y. 2016 -2017.
DISCUSSIONS
The results revealed that SARDO's when properly assisted and guided by the school personnel can
succeed in their academic struggles. Home visitation programs and teachers' intervention served as big
help in saving SARDO's.

Effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching on Grade Six Pupils'

Participation and Attitudes Towards English Learning
Rosegelly Del Mundo, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
English proficiency is not just an advantage but also a must because of its increasing use as a global
language. And due to its contribution to the modern era, we teachers have a responsibility to provide
our learners with the learning they need for them to address the challenges of globalization. And
through the use of effective method and pedagogy in teaching English we can create an engaging
learning environment where the learning is deemed valuable to the learners. To achieve this goal, the
communicative approach in teaching English was widely used to enhance the learner's interest in
learning English. It puts a great emphasis on the use of language and enables the learners to
communicate his ideas in a better way.
Communicative Language teaching is best considered as an approach rather than a method, it deals with
the set of assumptions and beliefs about the principles of language teaching (Richards and Rogers 2001).
This study would also be of great help to the pupils and English teachers.
METHODS
Using descriptive method of research as a technique for collecting the needed information, the
researcher focuses on the effectiveness of communicative language teaching on Grade Six pupils'
participation and attitude towards English learning at Malabanan Elementary School. This study
demands accurate descriptions, comparisons, contrasts, and correlations among variables. Data and
information gathered must be recorded, described, analyzed and interpreted.
RESULTS
Most of the learners took the pre-test examination in English performed below average or poorly in
English. To determine if the different communicative activities boost learners' participation and attitude
towards English learning, these activities were used regularly by the researcher and conducted the post-
test examination. In addition, the survey was also conducted. The result of the post-test showed that
most of the learners performed at an average level and very few in the below average level. While the
result of the survey showed that most of the respondents had scores near the top of the range and very
few had scores under low intervals.
DISCUSSIONS
The results prove that communicative language teaching through the use of communicative activities
could enhance the learners' participation and attitudes towards English learning. The learners were
challenged to be active, creative and confident. The activities also enhance the learners' love and interest
in learning.

Effectiveness of Computer-Based Reading with Images vs. Plain Paper-

Based Reading in Improving the Reading Comprehension of Selected G7
Students in English
Genevieve P. Lu, Ma. Magdalena B. Ignacio, Marlorraine E. Marquez, & Melinda

Labiano, Binakayan NHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The 21st century is marked by tremendous changes in the education system and the way how a student
study and read is greatly affected by these changes. The use of printed materials such as books is slowly
dying and being replaced by e-books. Thus, many students are much more interested in reading online
where information is more accessible and images are more vivid. In this study, the authors determined if
the students' reading comprehension increased through the use of computers coupled with images.
METHODS
The study used a quasi-experimental research design. Purposive sampling was employed in selecting the
34 respondents from G7 students. These respondents were divided into 2 groups namely: study and
control group. Five reading materials were validated and administered to both groups. Random
sampling was used in selecting the 17 respondents of each group. The control group used the printed
copy in reading while the other used a computer. Text on a computer was presented in a slide
presentation with images. Five reading materials were used and validated. These were administered to
both groups of the respondents. The study utilized six written tests. One for pretest/ posttest and five
were used for five reading selections. Quantitative analysis was used in interpreting the collected data.
RESULTS
The study showed that most of the respondents are male. The greatest number of respondents' age is
13 years old. The study group's mean average score on the pre-test is higher than the control group. The
control group means the average score is higher in 4 reading selections. There is a significant difference
in the pretest and posttest scores of the study group. There is also a significant difference in the pretest
and posttest scores of the control group. However, there is a non-significant difference in the posttest
scores of both groups.
DISCUSSIONS
The implication of the study is that even in the presence of computers and vivid images, printed
reading material is still more effective. The result can be used to further improve the printed learning
materials being used in the educational institution. Teachers can also utilize the results of the study to
inspire themselves in creating printed instructional materials and not just rely alone on using slide
presentations with images. The study can also be a basis for further research studies on other factors
that could affect the student's reading comprehension in English.

Effectiveness of Contextualization and Localization of Lessons in Grade 11

to Enhance the Knowledge and Skills of the Students
Rozel Abaiz, Camarines Norte National HS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
There were so many institutions that aim to have quality education and 21st-century skilled learners who
are globally competitive and possess different learning competencies using strategies to enhance their
skills. But there's still hindrances to achieve it. In fact, there were so many studies conducted that
described the Filipino students in having difficulty in comprehension. So as a solution as mandated in
Republic Act 10533 of the Philippines also known as "Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013" , "the
curriculum shall be contextualized and global and shall be flexible enough to enable and allow schools
to be localized, indigenous and enhance the same based on their respective educational context." cited
in (Rule II, Curriculum Section, 10.10.2).
METHODS
The research design used was quasi-experimental to analyze the effectiveness of contextualization and
localization of the lessons. The random sampling procedure was used to determine the 30 samples. The
researcher utilized pretest and posttest based on the learning competencies. These are valid, reliable and
based on Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). T-test was used to determine the significant
difference between the pre-test and posttest.
RESULTS
There was a significant difference in the score of pre-test and posttest in controlled group (x
Ì…=24.17, SD= 5.40); (x Ì…=29.1, SD= 5.40) based on the result of t-test [t (29) = 1.699, p= <0.05].
There was also a significant difference in the score of the pretest and posttest of the experimental group
(x Ì…=25.97, SD= 5.52); (x Ì…=32.50, SD= 4.52) based on the result of t-test [t (29) = 1.699, p=
<0.05]. But there was no significant difference in the t-test result [t (58) = -1.14, p= 0.26] of gain scores
of both groups.
DISCUSSIONS
In the pre-test result, there was no significant difference in the score of both groups meaning, they are
equal and no bias while in the posttest result, there was a significant difference between the score of
both groups which means the students can learn more under contextualized and localized lesson than
the traditional lesson. There was a significant difference between the pre-test and posttest results of
both groups. But there was no significant difference in the learning gain score in both groups. This
means either of the contextualized and localized and the traditional teaching may use to enhance the
knowledge and skills of the students in the lesson for their lifelong experience.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Schools play a major role in the education of tomorrow's generation and the future of the earth. As
stewards of the earth, helping students understand climate change, its impacts, and its solutions prepares
them to take an active role in making good choices for both society and the environment. This research
aimed to assess the effectiveness of contextualized and localized activity sheets in Science 5 integrating
climate change adaptation to grade five pupils of Niogan Elementary School SY 2017-2018. Funded by
the Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute, the activity sheets gave grade 5
pupils the necessary knowledge, skills, and awareness on climate change, lessen and reduce the effects of
risks through educational and environmental stewardship and resilience and manage and use it in
productive ways as they apply it to their day to day live.
METHODS
An experimental research method was utilized. The main instrument used was the pre and post-test
questionnaires. Content validation and item analysis were conducted prior to the conduct of
experimentation. The activity sheets adhered to the Grade Level Standards of the K to 12 Science
Curriculum prescribed by the Department of Education. Anchored on grade 5 Science learning
competencies, 15-day lessons were used using the activity sheets during the 4th Quarter of the school
year. Participants were the one hundred sixteen (116) Grade 5 pupils selected purposively by the
researcher.
RESULTS
Based on the findings, results showed that there is a significant improvement in the performance of
Grade 5 pupils after using the activity sheets, an improvement in the mean percentage score was also
reflected in the 4th Quarter test result. Also, after the conduct of interview and focus group discussion
among participants, the activities in the activity sheets were said to be an effective learning tool and
material to pupils. After the conduct of the research, projects and advocacy programs for sustainability
were created, shared and advocated through social media, community linkages and forums in different
schools and communities.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher strongly supports environmental education and believes this to serve as a way to instill
environmental literacy among students. Climate change awareness should be a part of the science
curriculum because student knowledge of environmental concepts establishes a foundation for their
future understandings and actions as citizens of the country.

transformation towards sustainable development. Teachers are to deliver quality instruction from the
Department of Education. It has been observed that pupils find Filipino subjects an uninteresting
subject. Pupils lack the motivation to study the subject and find it boring. Steps to elevate the
performance of pupils were undertaken and the researcher would like to take part in determining the
level of effectiveness of cooperative learning approaches on the academic achievement in Filipino of the
grade five pupils in public elementary schools in the District of Binangonan II, Division of Rizal.
METHODS
A descriptive survey design was used. Documentary analysis was also used to determine the academic
achievement of pupils. The researcher followed the Gantt chart of activities in the conduct of the study.
Frequency and percentage distribution were used to determine the profile of respondents. Weighted
mean was used to determine the extent of the use of cooperative learning. Correlation analysis was
applied to find out the significant relationship that exists between the perceived level of effectiveness of
cooperative learning approaches and the level of pupils' academic achievement in Filipino.
RESULTS
The teachers' perception of the cooperative learning approaches is Much Effective, hence all the
aspects such as social cohesion, motivation, values development, and cognition are all given emphasis.
The hypothesis is accepted; therefore, this explains that there is no significant difference in the teacher
respondents' perception about the effectiveness of using innovative approaches in teaching Filipinos as
perceived by respondents. As to academic performance, a greater number of pupils performed
Satisfactorily within the range of 80-84, and lastly, the hypothesis is accepted in all aspects, therefore
there is no significant relationship between the use of cooperative learning strategies and academic
achievement in Filipino.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers are encouraged to reinforce the use of cooperative learning approaches through more
interesting instructional materials to make it more effective on the academic achievement of their pupils.
Pupils must be given reorientation about participation in big and small groups of cooperative learning.
The researcher proposed an action plan be considered and implemented to enhance pupils' academic
achievement and conduct similar studies on this area using other variables.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The cooperative learning approach has been around in the past. Over the last decade, cooperative
learning has emerged as the leading approach to classroom instruction. Traditional class activities create
a win-win situation, where one can only succeed if other loose, while cooperative learning is the direct
opposite of it, here conquest of all is the success of all.
The primary purpose of this action research is to identify the effectiveness of cooperative learning in
enhancing mathematics performance of Grade 5 pupils and the result will be a basis for the action plan.
METHODS
The study is a quasi-experimental design. Non-Equivalent Groups, Posttest Only is the design style of
the study with one group receiving treatment (cooperative learning instructional method) and the other
(control) group receiving more traditional lecture/discussion teaching method. The researcher used
random selection by cluster sampling, a sampling technique where the entire population is divided into
groups or clusters, and a random sample of these clusters is selected. The data in this study were
collected, tabulated and analyzed with the application of the statistical procedure.
RESULTS
It was therefore concluded that the experimental and control groups had the same pre-test
performances in Mathematics, there is no significant difference between the academic performance in
Mathematics of both control and experimental groups in the pre-test, the experimental group
performed much better than the control group after the intervention was utilized ,there is a significant
difference between the academic performance in Mathematics of both control and experimental groups
in the posttest and there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest of both control and
experimental groups.
DISCUSSIONS
The experimental and control groups had the same pre-test performances in Mathematics.
There is no significant difference between the academic performance in Mathematics of both control
and experimental groups in the pre-test. The experimental group performed much better than the
control group after the intervention was utilized.
There is a significant difference between the academic performance in Mathematics of both control and
experimental groups in the posttest. There is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest of
both control and experimental groups.

Maricar Ilao, SJEDTPA
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Science has a big role in developing learners into a competitive one. This can be achieved by recognizing
the unique ways of the strategies used in teaching Science. Science concepts might be developed in
learners by practice. The goal of sound science education is to fabricate pupils to discover, research,
analyze, comprehend, understand, remember, elaborate, evaluate and more.
It is distressing that many of the pupils in Grade Five- Singkil (2017-2018) failed. As an educator, it is
our role to help our learners achieve more. Helping this class to achieve the desired passing score, the
researcher will apply the following strategies and approaches in teaching the subject like integrated
technology, constructivism, collaborative, game-based learning, inquiry-based and reflective.
This research showed that using differentiated methods in teaching Science will surely uplift learners'
interest to like, learn and love Science.
METHODS
To make this study relevant, test papers and scores of the quarterly test of Grade Five-Singkil should be
used to know if the different strategies in teaching Science are all useful to increase their scores to
passing scores. The researcher also gathered reasons why many learners failed the test. The reasons
were: lack of interest; hardly understand the Science lesson; absenteeism; and family problems. To come
up with the best result in increasing the number of pupils who will pass the test, the researcher made a
schedule of activities every weekday using the different strategies and approaches in teaching Science; a
well-planned log; and updating the parents about the progress of their children in the said subject.
RESULTS
Using different strategies and approaches in teaching this subject has a great effect in achieving the
objective. After identifying the possible problems that hindrance our learners to pass the quarterly test,
application of appropriate strategies will not be as hard as it is because children learn more from this.
They show interest in learning the subject and excited about what would be the next topic to be
discussed.
DISCUSSIONS
Through data gathering and monitoring learners' progress in passing the Science tests', integrating the
lessons in Science with technology and other approaches of the 21st-Century curriculum enhanced the
pupils' academic performance. And one thing to emphasize is that all educators should adopt what is the
trend in teaching all subjects.

Effectiveness of Differentiated Instruction in Teaching English for Grade

Four Classes
Rolita Eguia, Paaralang Elementarya ng Maalas-as
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
English is a difficult but important subject because the curriculum considers it as a tool subject needed
to understand the different content subjects. It is concerned with developing competencies in listening,
speaking, reading, writing and viewing. Speaking includes skills in using the language expressions and
grammatical structures correctly in oral communication while writing includes readiness skills,
mechanics in guided writing, functional and creative writing. In a classroom teaching-learning process,
the teacher is facing diverse learners. In this research, I want to know the effect of this method on the
performance of the pupils from the result of the diagnostic and achievement test.
METHODS
Two groups were taught the same lessons for one week. The control group using single teaching with
similar activities approach while the experimental group using DI with three sets of activities, evaluation,
and facilitation for the three groupings of pupils for a week duration. Both were given the diagnostic
test to identify the classification of pupils if they belong to the above average, average and below
average group. The achievement test administered the following week using parallel teacher-made tests.
The results of the Pre-Test and the Post Test compared to determine whether using DI is effective or
not.
RESULTS
Based on the result of the Pre-test, the Control group has lowered scores compare to the Experimental
group but so close or almost the same in the manner that the scores are scattered. It showed a good
baseline. Classes were of different levels of intelligence. The result in the Post Test scores of the
Experimental group was taught with DI is remarkably better as compared to those Control group was
taught the traditional approach. The score signifies that the variance of the Experimental group was
smaller than that of the Control group suggested that the pupils' intellectual ability was not scattered
unlike in the Pre-Test result. The finding is supported by Stravroula's (2001) study on DI where was
able to prove that DI is effective as it positively affects the diverse pupils' characteristics.
DISCUSSIONS
It showed that using Differentiated Instructional (DI) is effective in teaching English. Teachers are the
best facilitators of learning of pupils for diverse backgrounds and abilities. After the diagnostic, DI
implemented to both groups and the result was improving. There were no pupils reported to be in the
below average group for both the control and the experimental group.

Effectiveness of Differentiated Instruction in Teaching English for Grade

Six Classes at Senator Maria Kalaw Katigbak Memorial School
Jenalyn Caballes
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum aims to help learners understand that the 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, talents or skills, interests, 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.
METHODS
Two groups were taught the same lessons for one week. The control group was taught using a single
teaching with a similar activities approach while the experimental group was taught using DI with three
sets of activities and three sets of evaluation and facilitation for the three groupings of pupils for the
one-week duration. Both groups were given the diagnostic test to identify the classification of pupils
whether they belong to the above average group, the average group, and below the average group. The
achievement test was administered the following week using parallel teacher-made tests. The number of
pupils was again identified to know whether there was a change in their classification. The results of the
pretest and post-test were compared to determine whether using DI is effective or not.
RESULTS
The result showed that the posttest scores of the experimental groups taught with DI is remarkably
better as compared to those which were taught the traditional approach. Looking at the standard
deviation scores, it signifies that the variance of the experimental group was smaller than that of the
control group which suggests that the pupils' intellectual ability was not scattered unlike in the pretest
result.
DISCUSSIONS
DI should be used in teaching pupils in English especially in heterogeneous classes because it improved
their classroom performance. Teachers should be given in-service training on DI for them to gain more
knowledge and a clear understanding of the approach. Although tedious on the part of the teachers,
they should be encouraged to prepare and use DI to motivate pupils to participate in class discussions.

Effectiveness of Direct Instruction Strategy on the Academic Performance

in Mathematics of Grade 9 Students in Fernando Air Base National High
School for the Sy 2016-2017
Gemma Coronel, Fernando Air Base Integrated National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The academic performance of students in Mathematics has been observed to fluctuate. National
Elementary Assessment Test (NEAT) and the National Secondary Achievement Test (NSAT) revealed
that the lowest mean observed was in Mathematics.
The same observation was revealed by the National Achievement Test (NAT) in the Division of Lipa
City. For the school years 2013 - 2015, low percentage mean scores (MPS) were recorded in
Mathematics. Likewise, records of the least mastered competencies in Mathematics, specifically for
Grade 9, seemed to reveal the same competencies for successive days.
Taking into account the alarming decline on the academic performance in Mathematics among high
school students, the researcher aims to employ one of the pedagogical approaches, that is the
Constructivism approach, that will be of great help for the low performing students in Mathematics 9 of
Fernando Air Base National High School.
METHODS
In this study, the researchers used the descriptive method of research. A descriptive study collects
organize and reviews information about the randomly selected students who served as participants to
the remedial program. The method was used to analyze the academic performance of the students
before and after using the direct instruction strategy in remediation and thus verify the assumption that
the used strategy has a significant effect on their academic performance. Qualitative analysis is the most
conducive in identifying the implications of the findings made.
RESULTS
With the aim of establishing the Effectiveness of Direct Instruction Strategy on the Academic
Performance in Mathematics of Grade 9 Students in Fernando Air Base National High School for the
Sy 2016-2017, the Correlated T is used as a statistical tool to interpret the significance of the effect of
the applied strategy.
Based on the statistical analysis using the computation of correlated t, there is a significant difference
between the pretest and the post-test in favor of the post-test. The program, remedial classes using
direct instruction was effective.
DISCUSSIONS
The direct instruction strategy is already proven as effective method in remedial classes for the slow
learners. The findings should be utilized in the other sets of students in Mathematics 9, considering the
different topics and competencies.
Secondly, the strategy can be used as a basic of instruction in Mathematics other grade levels.

Effectiveness of Directed Reading-Thinking Activity (DRTA) in Reading

Comprehension in English of Grade Five Pupils at Kalinawan Elementary
School
Pinky Aralar, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the most important skills one must acquire in school is reading. As pupils progress through
schooling, they need to be able to read more with comprehension. Failure in reading comprehension is
also a failure of the school. Knowledge in reading with comprehension is essential especially in the
subject using English as a medium of instruction. How can they answer the test? How can they
understand the teacher's lesson? In the recently concluded National Achievement Test result, two
subjects English and Science had the lower Mean Percentage Score with 57.64 and 52.86 respectively.
Having found out that the pupils are able to read fluently but still have difficulty in answering Wh-
questions, the researchers thought of using a reading strategy that would help in teaching, the Directed
Reading-Thinking Activity (DRTA).
METHODS
The experimental research design was utilized. Two groups of respondents were called as the
experimental group and the control group. A questionnaire-checklist was the main instrument in this
study. The tool used in gathering data consists of two parts. Part I is the respondent profile and Part II
contains 5 reading comprehension tests. These reading tests have 10 items each, making it to 50 items.
This was used to measure the effectiveness of the reading strategy- DRTA in teaching reading among
Grade Five pupils of Kalinawan Elementary School regarding the determinant factors such as sex,
monthly family income, and academic performance.
RESULTS
There is a significant difference in the level of performance of the respondents in a reading of the
experimental group using the Directed Reading-Thinking Activity. The control group obtained a mean
score of 40.04 verbally interpreted Very Satisfactory with the standard deviation of 5.68. The
experimental group obtained a mean score of 42.56 also interpreted Very Satisfactory with the standard
deviation of 5.12. In terms of profile, there is no significant difference in the performance in Reading of
the pupils in terms of sex. Monthly family income is significant. Academic performance is also
significant.
DISCUSSIONS
It was found out in the study that reading comprehension of the grade five pupils increased by using
the DRTA method of teaching. There is a marked improvement in the performance in Reading of the
pupils after they were taught of the DRTA Strategy in Reading. Pupils also developed their critical
thinking. Based on the results of the study, an action plan is proposed to enhance the performance of
pupils in reading.

Effectiveness of Educational Innovations to Students' Performance at Recto

Memorial National High School
Dennis Dimaculangan
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The use of modules in secondary schools is now being implemented. Students focus on discovering
their talents and skills but lacking on the supplementary materials. Integrating innovations in students'
routinized activities might contribute to their greater development since they become more interested
when something new is added to their daily tasks. Obviously, educational innovation could lead both
teachers and students to effective educational management but still, a research study regarding this
would tell constructively the significant effects and impact.
METHODS
The researcher chose two sections to serve as a control group that utilized modules and an
experimental group that had used e classroom. The experimental research design was applied to find out
which of the two educational innovations instructional approaches (modular approach and e classroom
approach) could develop students' learning capability effectively.
RESULTS
It is noted that educational innovation using an instructional approach such as e classroom has a
significant impact on students' performance, especially in more complicated lessons. This due to its
stimulating features and motivating facilities that stimulate the learners to focus well and become more
attentive. The use of modules could stand alone on easy lessons but innovation should always be
applied to yield better output.
DISCUSSIONS
The duty of the teacher as classroom manager and facilitator is so easy to say but hard to perform
thoroughly since the teacher's performance is always congruent to what the students have gained. In this
study, it is noted that the need for innovations as the lessons progress must be applied to yield concrete
development. The positive practical application should also be held to achieve the prescribed learning
competencies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Many problems are being encountered in the Philippine educational system among these are inadequate
facilities and equipment and lack of instructional materials. Hence, one of the major goals of the
Department of Education (Department of Education) is to make every Filipino child a successful
reader at his appropriate level by the end of Grade Three. Teachers have to employ different
approaches in order for them to learn to comprehend easily what they have read. This prompted the
researcher to develop enrichment activities using video lessons in teaching reading and determine its
effectiveness.
METHODS
The experimental research method was applied. The experimental group was exposed to the developed
enrichment activities using video lessons in teaching Reading while the control group was exposed to
the traditional method of teaching. Pretest and posttest were used as instruments to determine the level
of reading comprehension skills of the pupils.
RESULTS
The results of this study showed that there are more male respondents than females. The majority
belong to low-income families and most of their parents did not finish college education. In the pretest,
the grade four pupils in the experimental and control groups have moderately satisfactory reading
comprehension skills. In the posttest, the experimental group obtained a Very Satisfactory reading
comprehension skills while the control group obtained Satisfactory reading comprehension skills.
Reading comprehension skills of the experimental group in the pretest and posttest differ significantly.
Similarly, there is a significant difference between the reading comprehension skills of the control group
in the pretest and posttest. Reading comprehension skills of the pupils exposed and unexposed to
enrichment activities using video lessons differ significantly as revealed in the posttest results. Reading
comprehension skills of the pupils exposed to enrichment activities using video lessons differ
significantly when they are grouped according to sibling position, monthly family income, and mothers'
educational attainment. On the other hand, sex and fathers' educational attainment are not significant in
the reading comprehension skills of the pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers may continuously utilize technology resources in teaching reading and in other subjects to
motivate learners and achieve better learning outcomes. Pupils may be exposed to more enrichment
activities using videos for a more enjoyable teaching-learning process.

information about the effect of using extrinsic motivation as the basis of catching the attention of the
pupils in their class discussion especially in English subject.
RESULTS
Based on the problem the following are the results;
Motivations mostly applied at the classroom level are incentives, rewards, punishment and teacher
praise.
After providing appropriate interventions like using intrinsic motivation the academic performance in
English of Grade IV pupils are the following, 94-98=2 students got this grade, 87-93= 2 students got
this grade, 81-86=33 students got this grade and lastly 75-80= 32 students got this grade.
Based on the data gathered, there is no significant relationship between using extrinsic motivation to the
academic performance of the learners.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results gathered by the researcher using extrinsic motivation in classroom level doesn't
affect the academic performance of the learner whether the teacher gives or use a reward it cannot
affect the learner's academic grades or the other hand the teacher deliver clearly the subject matter so
that the learners will learn automatically.

INTRODUCTION
Feedback serves as an instrument in order to acknowledge the development students have made in
relation to a certain assessment task given to them. It is a response that can be given by a teacher, a
student peer or an assessor that is usually spoken or written. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness
of feedback in written tasks among the English teachers and the Grade 10 Special Science Curriculum
(SSC) students of Balayan National High School. It determined the types of feedback given by the
teachers to enhance the written tasks of the students and its effectiveness after the revision process.
METHODS
This study evaluated the behavior of the students towards the given feedback. It used the descriptive
method of research and utilized questionnaires as the main data gathering instrument to the 22 English
teachers and 60 Grade 10 Special Science Curriculum (SSC) students.
RESULTS
Upon the careful analysis of the gathered data, the study determined that feedback is very effective in
written tasks if teachers will consider the appropriateness of the given feedback and students will accept
the feedback fervently. The behavior of the students is positive towards the feedback and would create
positive reinforcement if good and effective feedback would be sustained.
DISCUSSIONS
Thus, feedback would be beneficial and effective for the enhancement of students written tasks if a
well-crafted recommendation will always be available. It would motivate the students to monitor their
learning, identify their strengths and weaknesses and accept revisions and change not only in the school
context but also in every part of the society as a whole.

Christian Ronel Austria, Tanay North National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The Game-Based Learning Kit in Economics is an innovative instructional material that provides
necessary activities by learning the concepts and familiarization of the graphical illustrations on demand
and supply using game-based activities. The researcher being an educator experienced that some learners
may get easily bored if the topic being discussed was too serious for them. Economics is one of the
areas in social studies and the subject taught by the researcher encountered such a problem. This was
the reason why the researcher utilized the game-based learning kit using the authentic and simplified
task to improve learning and make it more fun and enjoyable.
METHODS
The study utilized the experimental and descriptive methods of research using the two-group pretest
and posttest design. The study was anchored on the Theory of Constructivism by Jerome Bruner and
the Theory of Scaffolding by Lev Vygotsky. The instrument of the study was developed game-based
learning kit and 40 item pretest and posttest made by the researcher. The subjects of the study were the
40 Grade 9 learners enrolled in sections, Rizal and Bonifacio. 15 of them consist of the experimental
group and the other 15 the control group. They were evenly distributed heterogeneously in each section.
Grade 9-Bonifacio, the experimental group used the game-based learning kit while Grade 9-Rizal; the
control group utilized the traditional method of teaching.
RESULTS
The study found out that the learners who were exposed to the game-based learning kit in Economics
performed better than the learners who didn't use it with respect to different lessons. It emphasizes that
exposure to the game-based learning kit can be an effective tool in enhancing the skills of the learners.
The performance of the experimental group in both lessons was significantly different from the control
group. This implies that the use of game-based learning kit can elicit the learner's interest and improve
their performance in their studies. Thus, the developed game-based learning kit in Economics is an
effective instructional material.
DISCUSSIONS
The results indicate that the utilization of the game-based learning kit in economics is recommended to
facilitate the teaching-learning process and to cater to the needs of the learners. Also, teachers must be
encouraged to produce instructional materials that will develop the learners critical thinking skills and a
follow-up study may be proposed for further development and enrichment of the lesson.

Effectiveness of Geogebra in Teaching Grade 10 Mathematics
Ana Marie Em, Department of Education - Siniloan Integrated NHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The growth of technology for learning, particularly in the field of Mathematics includes the integration
of educational open- source software, such as Geogebra in teaching and learning mathematics. It is a
kind of new and advanced teaching mode which is challenging to the traditional way of teaching.
Technology is indeed essential in teaching and learning mathematics. It has become one of the most
powerful resources of learning. However, Geogebra is not yet widely used in teaching mathematics in
the Philippines. It is still a challenge for many mathematics teachers.
METHODS
This study investigates the effectiveness of using GeoGebra in teaching Grade 10 Mathematics. The
study involved 66 grade 10 students, from two sections. 34 students were in the control group and 32
students in the experimental group. The researcher utilized quasi-experimental design both for the
control group and the experimental group. Used pre-test and post-test. The control group was taught
the conventional way. While the experimental group was taught and learned using GeoGebra software.
Five topics with their corresponding competencies: Cartesian Plane, Distance Formula, Midpoint
Formula, Equation of a Circle, and Polynomial Function, are discussed. Afterward, the post-test was
given to them.
RESULTS
The mathematics performance for both groups is fairly satisfactory to a very satisfactory level. Before
the utilization of Geogebra, low proficiency level showed both for control and experimental group.
After the utilization of Geogebra, the post-test performance, there was an increase in students'
performance in both groups. And students in the experimental group performed better.
This means that the students from both groups had the same level of prior knowledge. In the post-test,
students in the experimental group performed better than in the control group.
It shows the significant difference between the gained scores of the students in the control and the
experimental group. It can, therefore, be said that the integration of Geogebra software in mathematics
instruction enhanced students' performance in mathematics.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings of this study would prove teachers the opportunity to use Geogebra software in their
teaching mathematics that will enhance students' performance in mathematics.
The study also provides recommendations for school administrators, to encourage the use of Geogebra
by the secondary school teachers in their math classes.

Nagcarlan, Laguna through Alternative Learning System
Ricardo Callos, ALS Nagcarlan Laguna
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
With its noble effort to bring a highly affordable educational completion program closer, not only to the
out-of-school youths but also to the interested and aspiring senior citizens, the Alternative Learning
System of Nagcarlan, Laguna, pioneered the holding of Functional Literacy class for Senior Citizens in
2015. Proving that it is never too late to learn, a good number of pioneering respondents availed of the
program. The program was first in Laguna and in Region IV as well. The senior citizens come from the
six barangays of the municipality; their ages range from 60-80 years old.
METHODS
This study made use of the descriptive correlative method, which describes respondents' personal
attributes. This also employed the face-to-face mode of learning a delivery system which helped
maximize the learning proficiency of every senior citizen.
RESULTS
The functional literacy classes of the succeeding batches of learners intend to affect the process of
andragogy to them. English is the medium of instruction for Communication Skills, Critical Thinking
and Problem Solving and Filipino for the rest of the learning strands. Basic communication skills such
as listening, speaking, reading and writing, simple critical thinking and problem-solving are the main
focus of their twice-a-week literacy session being conducted in the now considered a very significant
landmark in the town of Nagcarlan, Province of Laguna, Nagcarlan Senior Citizen Center. This is a
project-offering of the 7th Anniversary of FAILON NGAYON in line with his advocacy for senior
citizens.
DISCUSSIONS
The holding of the Functional Literacy class for Senior Citizen paves the way for further community
development, where the least expected serviceable sector, the senior citizens can further render service
to the community through their association in the capacity of chairman, secretary, treasurer and other
similar position in the barangay where qualification of literacy is required. Enhancing these skills in
listening, reading, speaking and writing, simple critical thinking and problem-solving enable them to
develop a deeper sense of confidence, "AGE DOES NOT MATTER" as far as learning and barangay
community service is concerned. Likewise, the competencies of ALS implementers and their versatility
in handling a special group of learners are being improved. An exercise of a high degree of tolerance and
patience is being practiced to establish a good teaching-learning rapport between the teacher and senior
citizen learners.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
PowerPoint has some very attractive features. It looks professional and allows the user to easily
incorporate multimedia into a presentation. It is also very easy to use and permits even a novice user to
create colorful and easy-to-read slides. However, PowerPoint presentations are often little more than
glorified overheads that encourage a lecture approach to teach with little student interaction.
Hyperlinked-PowerPoint Presentation, as a compilation of Science 8 topics and competencies was
implemented by Grade 8 Science Teachers in teaching procedures and learning process outcomes.
METHODS
This study employed a mixed method applying an experimental and qualitative method of research. The
instruments that were utilized in order to obtain the needed data was a researcher-made test to measure
the performance in Science before and after the experiment. The simple descriptive statistics such as
frequency, weighted mean formula, and standard deviation were used to quantify and analyze the pretest
and post-test scores of the respondents. T-test was used to determine the difference between the mean
gain scores of the respondents subjected to an innovative approach and the conventional way of
teaching.
RESULTS
Hyperlinked-PowerPoint Presentation as an interactive and innovative constructivism teaching strategy
greatly enhanced the conceptual understanding of the students. Also, teachers' positive learning patterns
were identified in utilizing this strategy in the teaching-learning process.
DISCUSSIONS
The Hyperlinked-PowerPoint Presentation (HP3) as an interactive and innovative constructivism
teaching strategy is a compilation of Science topics that is found effective and innovative in both

Effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology in the

academic performance in science of G10 Open high School students
Arlene Justo
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Taytay National High School adopts an open high school program for working students, parents and
over aged people who want to finish the Junior high school. the students enrolled in this program are
required to attend classes once a week. as science teacher of the students enrolled in this program, the
researchers observed that there is a difficulty in coming up with the competencies that result to poor
academic performance in science due to the smaller number of days the students under OHSP spent in
actual classroom learnings. for this reason, the researcher felt the need to evaluate the effectiveness of
using information and communication technology-based instruction in improving the academic
performance in the science of G10 under OHSP.
METHODS
Two groups of students were created. The control group who were taught every Friday in school and
which does no use ICT and the experimental group who will be taught using ICT-based methods
through the online follow-up. Each group was composed of 16-16 students, who were more or less
similar in characteristics. Sources of data collection tools that will be utilized in the study include
research constructed questionnaire, pretest, and Post-test. Pretest and Post-test were validated and
executed. ICT based learning material was developed to sustain the limited face to face encounter of the
experimental group.
RESULTS
The results showed that there is a very minimal difference between the Pretest scores of the
experimental and control groups of student-respondents in the science of grade 10 students under the
OHSP. Majority of the respondents both in experimental and control group falls under non-mastery
level. The academic performance of the experimental group in the Post-test improves using Information
and Communication Technology based instruction in science. The majority of the respondents in the
experimental group fall under mastery level and the control group is nearing mastery level. It is very
evident that the Information and communication-based instruction is an effective aid to improve the
academic performance of students enrolled in an open high school program.
DISCUSSIONS
The results suggest that the use of information and communication technology-based instruction is
effective in improving the academic performance of student-respondents in science in grade 10 under
an open high school program. it is recommended that teachers should use information and
communication technology (ICT) in teaching students under the open high school program.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The records of the National Achievement Test of grade six pupils in Sagurong Elementary School in
this subject for the past two school years (S.Y. 2012-2013 and S.Y. 2013-2014) revealed that the ratings
fell below the planning standard. This calls for immediate action to improve the learning of the pupils in
this major subject. To prove the findings of Muhammad Asif and to raise the learning of the Grade Six -
Saturn pupils in Science and Health VI in Sagurong Elementary School subject especially during the
National Achievement Test, thus the researcher conducted this action research.
METHODS
This action research used the descriptive- correlational method with pretest and posttest instruments.
The said test was a teacher- made test the covering first to fourth grading periods. The 51 pupils
composed of 24 boys and 27 girls were the subjects of this classroom action research. There was no
need to take a sample in respondents because the class size is manageable.
RESULTS
The researcher found out that the performance level of the grade six pupils in Science and Health in
the pre and post-tests showed a little bit of improvement. The pre-test PL is 39.75% and the post-test
PL is 47.25%. There were 18 competencies tested in this study. Out of 18, there were 16 least mastered
skills in the pre-test and 12 competencies in the post-test which fell to a group of least mastered skills.
The t- the computed value of -8.05 is beyond the t-critical value of -1.676 at 0.05 level of significance
with 50 degrees of freedom, the null hypothesis is therefore rejected. This means that the post-test result
was higher than the pre-test result. It implies that the use of interactive whiteboards as an intervention
material in teaching Science and Health is effective.
DISCUSSIONS
The results revealed that the use of interactive whiteboard (IWB) in teaching Science and Health is
effective. The pupils' learnings improved with the help of this tool. This must be adapted by Science
teachers from grades III-VI to improve the performance level of the said subject and to reverse the
traditional approach of classroom instruction. Through the use of IWB, teachers can thoroughly explain
the abstract concepts of Science. Pupils also may find this subject amusing and interesting, not boring
and difficult.

Schools in the Division of Quezon
Riza Ocampo, Pagbilao Central ES
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The Learner Information System is an integral part of the Department of Education's program
monitoring and evaluation for basic education. It is a system for maintaining the registry of the learners
that provides a standardized registration and issuance of the unique 12 digit Learner Reference Number.
But just like any other system and a computer program, the Learner Information System has many
downsides. Since it was the first time the system was implemented, problems relative to online
enrollment have been experienced particularly the teacher- adviser. In this study, challenges occurred
with the difficulties at the onset of the implementation which led the notion to investigate its
effectiveness.
METHODS
The descriptive method was used. A self-made questionnaire was formulated which served as the main
source of the data in order to arrive at a conclusion on the system effective. Via the fishbowl technique,
two hundred sixteen elementary teachers in different schools in the Division of Quezon utilized 20% of
the total population were responded to the point score, range and descriptive rating of the
questionnaire.
RESULTS
The selected elementary teachers all strongly agreed that the Learner Information System can be used in
the automated registration of both the students, the teachers and the school as a whole, traced its
performances; with the school principal or supervision and assigned personnel having the accountability
and responsibility in monitoring the system, planning for the physical improvement of the school, the
learner and budget as well, and in monitoring and evaluating the performance.
The poor connection was seen in far-flung areas, corrections of data, erroneously tagged in the
registration and enrollment process, specifically, time-consuming. It also took time in correcting data to
be approved because the system needs for validation and request first before the correction could be
made.
DISCUSSIONS
The results revealed that the developed remedial plan be adopted by the different elementary schools in
all the districts of Quezon. Continued training and school visitation be conducted by the Division
Office, particularly those involved in the Information Technology to all the elementary schools in
Quezon Province to provide technical support to all the teachers and principals concerned.

identified chronic absentees and its implication in the participation rate of Southville IV Elementary
School in the division of Calamba City from 2016 to 2017. The main concern of this study was to
validate the cause of absenteeism and identified chronic absentees. Also, the researchers determined the
implication of absenteeism towards school participation rate and analyzed the effectiveness of LIBAN-
LABANAN PROJECT for the identified chronic absenteeism of the school.
METHODS
The study was a combination of experimental and descriptive type of research. Observation, intensive
monitoring, interview, reward system, and home visitation were used for experimental research and self-
constructed and adopted questionnaire were used for descriptive research validated by the division
research coordinator. The researchers conducted surprised class observation and intensive monitoring
of attendance for seven consecutive months of the school year 2016-2017. Interview and home
visitation with identified class adviser and parents were conducted by the researchers to validate the
cause of the pupil's absenteeism. Following strictly the Continuous Improvement Process (CIP),
weighted mean, skewness, frequency counts, and simple mean percentages were utilized to analyze the
data gathered. Pearson r was employed to determine the significant relationship between the
effectiveness of LIBAN-LABANAN PROJECT and participation rate of Southville IV Elementary
School in the year 2016-2017.
RESULTS
The respondents were dominated by 7 male pupils of Grade V Section Courage and 3 female pupils of
the same grade and section. LIBAN-LABANAN Project has brought great impact not only to the
recipients but to the school as a whole because the stakeholders have realized the importance of being
present in the school. Teachers have changed the way they have conformed to the norm of absenteeism
in the classroom. In the month of June 2017, it has been observed that absenteeism is not evident
anymore in most of the classes compared to last year's attendance.
DISCUSSIONS
The school sustained and institutionalized LIBAN-LABANAN Project in case of absenteeism recurs or
became evident in other grade levels. School heads and teachers continue the communication plan on
the advantages of regular attendance in class. It was evident in the school performance particularly the
school participation rate that LIBAN-LABANAN Project have a positive impact. Cases of drop-out
were decreased from .08% or 2 out of more than 2,500 pupils of Southville IV Elementary School was
seen in the school form 4 of the school which clearly manifested that LIBAN-LABANAN Project is

Behavior Performance of Grade Six of Perrett Central Elementary School
Cheryl Joy B. Junio, Nellie Cortez, & Racke Kale N. Ambag, Department of
Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading plays a very important role in our lives. It's so much a part of everyday living that one can
hardly imagine life without it. A very complex, multi-faceted activity that should be developed in
society's richest resources - the young boys and girls.
The study's purpose was to determine the effectiveness of a localized intervention material on the
reading and behavioral performance of grade six pupils in Perrett CES. Further aims to prove whether
the choice of learning materials can foster pupils' confidence and independence in oral communications.
Saddening that results of Phil-IRI Pretest (July 2017) revealed 32 of 34 or 94% are frustration readers. I
had some sort of query among pupils who disclosed that some engaged in destructive activities, not
enjoying school and can hardly connect because, in truth, they could not read at all. A very alarming
situation needing immediate action.
METHODS
This study used mixed methods of research, "quali-quanti" methods wherein the qualitative method
made use of survey/interview and quantitative method in the form of quasi-experimental design.
The controlled group and experimental group were formed to compare pupils' reading and behavioral
performances.
As an instrument, the compiled local stories/beliefs of the SBM Principle 2 and class reading profile
were used in its entirety.
RESULTS
Findings indicated that locally-made SIM improved the reading performance of frustration readers.
Data showed that using SIM obtained a post-test increase over pretest by 0.06. It revealed that there is
a significant relationship between the control group (traditional teaching of reading) and experimental
group (using a locally-made SIM) in terms of reading and behavioral performance, therefore; the null
hypothesis was rejected.
Moreover, data gathered from the interview demonstrated positive change in pupils' behavior in class
respectively; Attendance of 98% described as extremely high, interpersonal skills gain 97% improvement
while study habits of pupils also developed to 97%. As deduced, the use of localized SIM in the 21st-
century teaching is highly recommended.
DISCUSSIONS
Findings indicated that locally-made intervention materials are useful in improving the reading and
behavioral performance of frustration readers. As to the responses of the interview, the use of SIM
strengthens appreciation to their own culture making them proud to be one. The traditional way helped
however it was found boring and lifeless because they were only sitting down and reading a story
bearing the culture of other people while the group with SIM contributed a lot for accordingly, they
learn best when built on real experiences and relate what they are learning to things that are relevant to
them.

Mary Joy Collado, Banaba Cerca Integrated School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching someone how to read is an extremely rewarding experience. Reading is a complex
developmental challenge that we know to be intertwined with many other developmental
accomplishments: attention, memory, language, and motivation. Today's challenge for teachers is how
to help young children in reading which help them achieve levels of literacy that will enable them to be
successful through their school careers and beyond. This action research was undertaken to investigate
the effectiveness of Marungko Approach in Filipino Reading Remediation Program of Grade II Pupils
in Banaba Cerca Integrated School for S.Y. 2018-2019 in improving the reading level of the pupils.
METHODS
Phil-IRI Pre-Test results in Filipino both Oral and Silent Reading served as the basis for the pupils'
ability in reading. Based on the findings the effectiveness of Marungko Approach in Filipino Reading
Remediation Program of Grade II Pupils: A Grade Two Reading Remediation Program in Filipino
using Marungko Approach is an effective way of improving the reading level of Grade Two pupils.
There were fifteen (15) Grade 2 frustration level readers who went through the Reading Remediation
Program. The researcher used a descriptive technique to analyze the result.
RESULTS
Data showed a significant increase in the reading ability of the pupils. The final measure of the pupils'
performance was derived from the result of the Phil-IRI Posttest. From fifteen (15) pupils, it turned out
that only 1 pupil or 6.67% of the total number of pupils remained in Frustration Level.
DISCUSSIONS
The Marungko Approach proved to be an effective technique in improving reading capabilities. Parents
should be aware of their child's reading ability so that intervention will not only be done in school but
most importantly at home. The success of the program lies in the parent's support, teacher's effort and
pupil's perseverance to learn.

METHODS
The research made use of the experimental method of adapting two independent group design - the
experimental and control groups. The number of respondents was identified using systematic sampling.
The main instrument applied is the teacher-made test utilizing the pretest and posttest results. The
research is conducted during the school year 2017 - 2018 at Janosa National High School. The
respondents described their level of performance in the fundamental operation of integers in the pretest
standard deviation which implies that there is homogeneity in the intelligence of the students before the
conduct of the study. There were 60 grade seven student’s respondent - 30 for the experimental group
and 30 for the control group.
RESULTS
The Mathematics learning kit was found to be effective in promoting learning when used in teaching
the fundamental operation of integers as shown by the result of the study. The results emphasized that
there is an increase in the post-test mean of the experimental group after exposure to mathematics
learning kit. This likewise describes that the students in the experimental group have benefited from the
mathematics learning kit and this further implies that the treatment is effective. The findings of the
study show that the use of a Mathematics learning kit is an effective tool in enhancing the students'
performance in the fundamental operation of integers. This likewise implied that the result is significant
since the null hypothesis is rejected.
DISCUSSIONS

Effectiveness of MCS Reading Approach as Effective Tool in Reading

Development of Low-Level Readers of Grades Four to Six of Mabulo
Elementary School
Ma. Melanie Sanchez
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Many children struggle and suffer in reading difficulties, connecting letters to syllables which resulted in
poor reading skills, not only in the preschool but also at the intermediate level. As a result, the children
develop fear in reading and become inferior. It's important to identify learning disabilities early so
students get the support they need.
The focus of this research is to improve the reading ability and comprehension of these pupils through
the use of a reading approach called MCS or Melanie Catigan Sanchez Reading Approach. The teacher-
researcher believes that if she will focus on her own personalized innovative version of the intervention,
the students will develop a more meaningful and enjoyable reading experience without hesitation and
fear.
METHODS
To test the effectiveness of the new developed MCS Approach, the students from English Classes in
Grade 4 to Grade 6 of Mabulo Elementary School consisted of 17 students were chosen based on the
result of the PRE- PHIL IRI Test., where 17 students fall in the frustration level or non- readers. To
help them, they need to take the reading intervention class 50 minutes every day for the whole school
year using the prepared personalized materials. Their reading abilities which ranged from frustration or
non- readers were expected to be higher and better after the target intervention.
RESULTS
After the completion of this reading program using MCS Approach, students demonstrated effective
reading comprehension skills. From the variety of activities, test, and drills, given and presented to each
pupil which level up every quarter, the Post PHIL IRI Test resulted in the much higher level of reading
level from 0% - 10% to 60% - 80 %, from frustration level to instructional and independent level. After
several tests and reading activities and training results verified that skills have improved from letter
sounds to read short stories.
DISCUSSIONS
The result demonstrates the need for active involvement and dedication of teachers in the increase of
the student's ability to read. Understand their students better, motivate them more properly and
improve their performance and help them with their reading difficulties is indeed important.
The results of the study can be used as tools "to know how well their children are doing in school and
how well the schools are serious in performing their task of providing a sound educational reading
program and effective approach for the children with difficulties.

Effectiveness of Meranos Program to the Most Problematic Student in

Terms of Discipline, Confidence, and Performance in Mathematics Grade 7
Nilbeth S. Merano, Lead Author
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teachers' few days at Grade 7 Golen was going smoothly until such time that she observed a certain
student G.S. who always displaying misbehavior in her class. The student always standing and walking
around to disturb his classmates. As a result, there was a constant quarrel between him and his
classmates. Not only that, his absence contributed to his failure in teachers' subject during the first
grading. To address this problem, the researchers decided to talk to the person to really understand his
side. She found out that his attitude was brought about by several contributing factors from family
problems to personal motivation towards learning.
METHODS
The researcher uses case analysis to analyze the situation of the student through two methods, one was
through a personal interview, the second was through secondary data interviews. The researcher also
employs different methods to change the student's bad behavior. These methods were talking to the
student and trying to relate to his difficulties and weaknesses in my subject. Assigning a peer tutor to
him who is advanced in the class to help him review past lessons and even have advanced studies for at
least 15 minutes each school day. Always communicating with the class that the subject is easy; it is just
a matter of attitude towards the subject and giving it a chance. Retention rate through test scores, the
participation rate in class discussions, and the increase in attendance was determined.
RESULTS
There's a significant change when it comes to the quizzes of the student, it showed that from a 37%
retention rate during the first grading in his knowledge aspect, it increased to 59.4%. During the first
grading period, the student was really misbehaving. When he's inside the classroom, he just walks
around and disturbs his classmates. When he is called to participate, he just didn't care. I observed now
that his records in participation increased. I can now see him raising his hand to do board works and
he's improving when it comes to his behaviors. Sometimes he got wrong answers during class
discussions but I am happy those did not hinder her from trying again and again. There's a decrease in
the absence of the student in my class for the second grading.
DISCUSSIONS
The practice of having open communication with students and having a peer tutor help a certain
student uplift his confidence, perception of the subject and improve his learning and performance in
mathematics.

INTRODUCTION
Education is the right of an individual and it is a necessity. The challenge of today's era of new
generation lies in how the teaching-learning process will take place effectively and efficiently. The
research aimed to determine the effectiveness of the modern technique in teaching Mathematics for
grade one pupils. Modern technologies take the dominant force when it comes to the development of
individuals. In this era of globalization of education, the call for the advancement of education in
developing a globally competitive learner is a must.
METHODS
Pretest and posttest were used in to determine the performance of pupils in Mathematics. Thirty pupils
from section one was taught using traditional methods of teaching while thirty pupils from section two
considered as the experimental group utilizing modern techniques in teaching. The grade one pupils
were described in terms of sex, monthly family income, and academic performance. The experimental
method of research was used.
RESULTS
The study revealed that there are more male respondents than females. The majority belong to low-
income families with academic performance in the proficiency and approaching proficiency levels. The
respondents have moderately satisfactory performance in the pretest and an obtained very satisfactory
performance in the post-test. Performance in Mathematics of the experimental group in the pretest and
posttest differ significantly. Likewise, there is a significant difference between the performance of the
control group in the pretest and the posttest. Performance in Mathematics of the two groups of
respondents differs significantly as revealed in the posttest. Performance in Mathematics of the grade
one pupils differs significantly when they are grouped according to family income and academic
performance. On the other hand, sex is not significant to the performance of the pupils.
The study concluded that pupils' performance in Mathematics improved after exposure to modern
techniques in teaching Mathematics.
Pupils exposed to modern techniques have better performance in Mathematics than those pupils
exposed to the traditional method of teaching.
DISCUSSIONS
The research recommended that teachers should continuously utilize modern technique approaches in
teaching Mathematics for better performance. Pupils should be exposed to more challenging activities in
Mathematics utilizing multimedia approaches modern gadgets in teaching and learning processes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This action research endeavors to determine the effectiveness of modern technology-based instructions
in developing reading comprehension skills in English among the sixth grade of Bailen Elementary
School in the municipality of Gen. E. Aguinaldo. Despite numerous reading strategies that have existed,
still, the percentage of reading frustration is high. We need to address the reading problems of our
learners/readers since it greatly affects the child learning performance. The need to improve reading
instruction with the assistance of modern based instruction is highly relevant in addressing the reading
failure of the 21st-century learners.
METHODS
The nature of this study applied the Pre-test-Post-test experimental design using the teacher-made tests
and the 2C2IA model lesson plan with modern based instructions as the instruments in the conduct of
the study. After the pre-tests, the Experimental groups received the Modern Technology-Based
Instructions in the development of the Reading Comprehension skills in English while the control
group just used the Textbook/Regular Based-Instruction. This was followed by post-testing after the
treatment was given. Afterward, computations and analyses were done to determine the significance of
the difference between the pre-test scores and the post-test scores of both groups.
RESULTS
Pre-test and post-test scores of the entire respondents for both groups did not meet the proficiency
level of the English reading comprehension despite the elevated mean percentage on the post-test
scores of the experimental group. On the other hand, after the treatment conducted, the pre-test and
post-test results of the control group showed without significant difference while the experimental
group showed a significant difference.
DISCUSSIONS
The calculated and interpreted statistical value confirms the effectiveness of modern technology in
developing the reading comprehension of the sixth grade in the experimental group. This result suggests
that the treatment used in the study should be utilized accordingly for the development of reading
comprehension skills. The proponent of the study recommends the use of modern based instructions.

Teachers find ways and means on the teaching-learning process in Mathematics be improved in order to
cope with the challenges in one's daily lives. With this challenge in the educational system in general and
in the schools in particular, teachers need to play a very important role in this consideration where most
make a wise decision in selecting various kinds of instructional materials which will contribute to the
improvement of the teaching-learning process and the level of performance of the pupils particularly in
Mathematics.
METHODS
The parallel group design method of research used in the conduct of the study. A parallel group design
is an experimental study design in which each subject is randomized to one of two or more distinct
treatment /intervention groups. Those who were assigned to the same treatment are referred to as a
treatment group. While the treatment groups received differ, all groups treated as equally as possible in
all other regards, and they complete the same procedures during the study.
RESULTS
Based on the analysis and interpretation of data, 1. There are more male respondents than females. The
majority belong to low-income families with academic performance in the proficiency and approaching
proficiency levels. 2. Grade three pupils have moderately satisfactory performance in the pretest and
obtained very satisfactory performance in the posttest. 3. Performance in Mathematics of the
experimental group in the pretest and posttest differ significantly. Likewise, there is a significant
difference between the performance of the control group in the pretest and posttest. 4. Performance in
Mathematics of the two groups of respondents differs significantly as revealed in the posttest. 5.
Performance in Mathematics of the grade three pupils differs significantly when they are grouped
according to monthly family income and academic performance.
DISCUSSIONS
Pupils' performance in Mathematics improved after exposure to different methods of teaching, they
have better performance in Mathematics than those pupils exposed to the traditional methods of
teaching. Monthly family income and academic performance are determinants of performance of pupils
in Mathematics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching and learning now come in different styles and forms. Education is now experimenting on the
new methods of teaching and learning which aim at improving the quality of citizens produced by the
schools. The modular approach is beneficial for different subjects at various levels like elementary,
secondary, higher education and even in adult and continuing education including distance and non-
formal education. Calamba Bayside Integrated School is one of 282 selected Tech. Voc. school in the
Philippines but the school has only thirty (30) modules used by all Dressmaking students. Generally, the
majority of students do not have the knowledge of how to use the module. Thus, the researcher wants
to know how effective the modular approach is compared to other teaching strategies.
METHODS
This study used the descriptive method of research. pre-test and post-test were used to determine the
effectiveness of the modular approach on the level of retention and performance of the students.
RESULTS
Results showed that the modular approach is effective because the level of retention and performance
were improved. All students increased the level of retention in Dressmaking. Through the use of
modules and different interventions showed that students increased their performance from low
performing to high performing.
DISCUSSIONS
The student’s performance was greatly affected by the interventions and learning activities used in the
classroom. All students were able to pass the two (2) competency indicators based on the proposed list
of activities and interventions.

Effectiveness of Mother Tongue Based - Multilingual Education Program

in Teaching Mathematics
Rycel Villar, Santa Rosa Elementary School Central III
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mother Tongue-Based - Multilingual Education is more often viewed as a structured program of
language learning and cognitive development, providing a strong educational foundation in the first
language, with successful bridging to one or more additional languages, thus enabling the use of all
languages for life-long critical thinking skills that enable learners to operate equally in the language of
their ethnolinguistic community, the national language of their nation, and international languages that
are used for education and communication (Belaya, 2013). The study was conducted to examine the
effectiveness of a mother tongue-based multilingual education program in teaching Mathematics.
METHODS
The experimental research design was used involving three (3) groups. The study was conducted in the
Division of Santa Rosa City covering the three sections of grade three in Santa Rosa Elementary School
Central III. They underwent experimental research to test the effectiveness of using Mother Tongue in
teaching Mathematics. The researcher asked the problems encountered by the teachers of the first
district of the division. The descriptive statistics, simple percentage mean and One-way Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data.
RESULTS
The pupils' achievement in the English instruction is significantly higher than the achievement of those
who were in the Mother Tongue and mixed instruction both in the pretest and posttest. There is no
significant difference in the results of the teacher - made test as to pretest but there is a significant
difference in the posttest. The problems encountered by the teacher in terms of helping children learn
to read and write is "pupils cannot easily understand the concept of Mathematics using the mother
tongue as a medium of instruction"; learning academic content is "the concepts in Mathematics
discourage the learners to learn beyond the global standards of Mathematics principles even taught in
the mother tongue language" ; and learning other languages is "learning in mother tongue is confusing
for children due to other terminologies in Mathematics".
DISCUSSIONS
It is therefore desirable that English instruction is effective in teaching Mathematics since the pupils in
our region are exposed to English and Filipino language. Mother Tongue shall be a supplement in
teaching Mathematics. Teachers shall undergo training involving Mathematics Terminologies.

Grade V Pupils at Lunsad Elementary School
Carla Jane Quiñones, Department of Education, Division of Rizal
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Motivation influence the readiness of pupils to learn and participate. A class full of motivated pupils
may result in successful learning. This is one of the problems that we teachers are experiencing.
Technology as one of the reasons why pupils lack of focus needs to be addressed. The researcher would
like to use the same platform to regain what is missing among our learners. Teachers may be aware of
different modern multimedia instructional materials. And, pupils may be encouraged in using all of these
to their advancement in school.
METHODS
The experimental method of research utilizing a pretest and posttest was used in the study.
Experimental research parallel group design was utilized. The experimental group was exposed to the
multimedia instruction in Mathematics while the parallel group or the unexposed group served as the
control for comparative purposes. This followed the Gantt chart of Activities in the conduct of the
study. It includes the formulation of a research problem up to the revision of the manuscript and
submission of the final copy. After the validation of the instrument, administration and retrieval of data,
processing, and analysis were done.
RESULTS
Level of Performance in Mathematics of the two groups in the pretest showed the control group
obtained a mean score of 39.34 with a verbal interpretation of Satisfactory. Similarly, the experimental
group obtained a satisfactory performance with a mean score of 38.99. The computed standard
deviation of 1.51 and 1.03 respectively. Results in the posttest obtained a 45.28 mean score with a Very
Satisfactory interpretation and a standard deviation of 3.11 and 2.39. The obtained mean difference on
the posttest performance of the two groups of respondents is 1.17. This yields a computed t-value of
2.76 which exceeded the tabular t-value of 1.98 at .05 level of significance thus rejects the null
hypothesis.
DISCUSSIONS
Findings indicated that the two groups of respondents have the same entry knowledge in Mathematics.
The pupils who were exposed to multimedia instructions have higher scores than those pupils exposed
to the traditional methods of teaching. Moreover, the results indicated that pupils exposed to technology
performed better than those pupils taught using the traditional method of teaching. There may be
imperfections in the multimedia instruction used but designing new technology-assisted instruction will
improve the current dilemma of teachers. This may be suggested for future research and for
policymakers to make it happen.

Rhodora Porciuncula, Tanay National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the learning areas which aim to develop an individual's full potential is Edukasyon sa
Pagpapakatao. However, it is deemed difficult to teach the subject as students usually get bored when
concepts are taught in the traditional way of teaching such as using visual aids and reading the lesson, as
evident in the gradual decline of 5.86% from 66.77% (SY 2016-2017) to 60.91 (SY 2017-2018) mean
percentage score during the second grading period. This is the particular reason by which this study
tackled about the utilization of multimedia presentation in EsP 10 which covered an in-depth account
of using authentic and simplified task and worthwhile activities to be used for the improvement of
learning outcome, thus making it alive and also enjoyable not only for the students but also the teacher
as well.
METHODS
The study is experimental in nature. The instrument used is a multimedia presentation of the lesson in
EsP 10. This was a teacher made PowerPoint presentation from the lesson in Modyul 7 and 8 and 40
items pretest and posttest made by the researcher. The subjects of the study were the 24 grade 10
learners enrolled in section Copernicus and Dalton. Those learners were classified according to their
average grade ranging from 75 and above.
RESULTS
Though the performances of the control and experimental group have both improved according to the
pretest and posttest results, it is evident that the performance of the experimental group has improved
compared to the group who were not exposed to the multimedia presentation in the different lessons in
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao 10 based on the results of their posttest. The performance of the
experimental group in Modyul 7 and Modyul 8 in EsP 10 is significantly different from the control
group. It was therefore found out that the learners who were taught using the multimedia presentation
in EsP 10 performed better than the students who didn't with respect to different lessons as revealed by
their posttest results and the utilization of multimedia presentation is an effective teaching material.
DISCUSSIONS
The effectiveness of the multimedia presentation in Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao 10 is recommended to
facilitate the teaching-learning process. It is also suggested to implement the use of the multimedia
presentation in EsP, encourage teachers to produce instructional materials to develop the critical
thinking skills of the learners and conduct a follow-up study for further development and enrichment of
the lesson using other variables.

Gen E. Aguinaldo.
METHODS
The study applied the Pre-test- Post-test experimental design using the teacher-made tests and the
model lesson plan with multimedia instructions as the instruments in the conduct of the study.
RESULTS
Findings revealed that there is no significant difference in the pre-test of the experimental group and
the control group. It means that both groups are the same before the treatment of the study. On the
contrary, it was also found out that the result of the post-test showed that there is a significant
difference in the achievement gain by the experimental group and the control group. This reveals that
the post-test of the experimental group is significantly higher than the control group. This implied the
positive impact of multimedia instruction in teaching English subject on the pupil's academic
achievement. They indicated that their learning outcomes are more beneficial, effective and enjoyable
compared to the traditional method.
DISCUSSIONS
In view of the above findings and conclusions the following recommendations were offered. For
pupils' better academic achievement and positive development, Multimedia instruction should be used
in the teaching of English particularly at the elementary level. The study should be replicated in other
subjects and grade levels to also test the effectiveness of multimedia instruction and lastly, teachers
should be encouraged to teach English using Multimedia Instruction.

Effectiveness of Multimedia-Based Instructional Materials in Teaching

Mathematics for Grade Two Learners
Myla Paralejas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Having found out that the pupils have a poor understanding of Mathematics, the researchers thought
that using the Multimedia-Based Instructional Materials in teaching Mathematics would be a great help
to improve the learner's performance. The purpose of the study is to find out the effectiveness of
instructional materials.
METHODS
To find the effectiveness of Multimedia-Based Instructional Materials, the study used the Experimental
Method of Research. A pretest before the exposure to the instructional materials and post-test after the
exposure to the instructional materials, consisting of thirty items. To find the significant difference
between the pre-test and post-test scores of the control and experimental group, an independent t-test
was used. To find the significant improvement in the level of performance of the controlled and
experimental group, dependent t-test was used.
RESULTS
The control group obtained a mean score of 13.51 in the pre-test with the verbal interpretation of
Satisfactory. Similar to the experimental group. The computed standard deviation of 3.61 and 3.62
respectively.
In the post-test, the control group obtained a mean score of 21.68 verbally interpreted Satisfactorily.
Likewise, the experiment group obtained a mean score of 23.78. The computed standard deviation of
2.63 and 3.76 indicate that the score of both groups is dispersed. The computed t value of -0.22 at a 5%
level of significance is less than the critical value of 2.00, thus accepting the null hypothesis in the pre-
test. The computed t value of 2.21 at 5% of significance is greater than the critical value of 2.00, thus
rejecting the null hypothesis. This means that there is no significant difference in the performance of the
controlled and experimental group in the pre-test. However, in their post-test scores, there is a
significant difference in their performance. With respect to the performance of the experimental in the
pre-test the computed t-value of 82.51. This is greater than the tabular t- value of 1.69 at .05 level of
significance. This rejects the null hypothesis stating that there is a significant difference in the
performance of the grade two learners before and after the exposure to the Multimedia-Based
Instructional Materials in teaching Mathematics.
DISCUSSIONS
There is a marked improvement on the performance in Mathematics of the pupils after they were
taught using the Multimedia-Based Instructional Materials in Mathematics. This showed that pupils
comprehend and learned better.

Effectiveness of Numeracy Tools and E-Games in the Academic

Performance of Grade 7 Students for the First Semester of Timbugan
Carla Adagio, Rosario West Teachers Association
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Most of the students have problems in learning Mathematics due to boredom, lack of interest and
proficiency and motivation, little encouragement for self-learning, lack of continuity and focus. In an
effort to involve students in Mathematics learning, teachers used mathematical games and activities to
overcome this barrier. Games have not only been employed for drill and practice but also for warm-up
activities and rewards.
METHODS
This research utilized the descriptive method of research to determine, describe and analyze the
effectiveness of numeracy tool and e-games in the academic performance of Grade 7 students of
Timbugan National High School.
RESULTS
In the first quarter, seven competencies were used to measure the ability of students at different levels.
Most of the students were outstanding in describing sets, subset, universal set, and null set. While in the
other competencies, students got satisfactory grade which means that remediation activities, follow- up
and close supervision of the teachers/ mentors is advised. They need to undergo post-test and face to
face discussion must be done extensively to meet the requirements.
However, in the second quarter, most of the students did not meet expectations. This shows that an
extensive follow-up, remediation, close supervision and face to face discussions are needed on missed
competencies.
DISCUSSIONS
Using games to engage students in the process of active learning is not new. Educators have been
incorporating various E- Games into their teaching curriculum in an effort to create a fun and engaging
learning environment for students.
As a result, more than half of the students of Timbugan National High School can now transfer his/her
skills and knowledge and could be of help to the teacher and students. No need to undergo remediation
and post-test and can undergo more complicated competencies.
An action plan was developed to improve the effectiveness of the numeracy tool and e-games in the
academic performance of Grade 7 students in the first semester of SY 2018-2019.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
After the results of Initial Oral Reading Assessment to Grade 8n students of Palina East National High
School on June 19-23, 2017. The researchers discovered that out of one hundred eighty-five (185)
students, sixty-two (62) or thirty-three (33) percent were classified as Beginning Readers. Knowing that
reading is the key to understanding in all learning areas as well as the tool to achieve comprehension of
the different learning competencies, finding a way to help these beginning readers improve their reading
skills became an immediate decision.
METHODS
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the scheme in improving their reading performances.
The research instruments tool used was the prescribed and provided through the Division's Reading
program, Systematic and Comprehensive Reading Interventions in Building. The procedure was to pair
the students carefully based on their reading capabilities and learning styles. Orientation was also given
how the strategy worked, Partner Readers were timed in a minute and a number of words read by every
reader were also counted. Paired Reading can be done in different ways between or among friends with
an idea - I and my partner read aloud and eventually be good readers.
RESULTS
The data gathered was analyzed and interpreted as the beginning, developing, approaching proficiency
or advance. To determine the effectiveness of the use of the Paired Reading strategy, the statistical tool
employed was the Paired Sample T-test. Based on the findings from 62 beginning readers it decreased
into 20 with .000 p values.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the data gathered, analyzed and interpreted, there is a significant difference in the results of
the reading performance before and after the administration of the paired reading intervention, hence, it
is recommended for adoption in schools with the same issues.

Perceived by Teachers in Aga Elementary School: Basis for a Proposed
Action Plan
Sheila Rom, BRAVE
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Parents' involvement is defined as the active engagement of a parent in an activity that centers on
enhancing academic performance. It is absolutely essential to pupils' achievement in school and in life.
Because of the importance and necessity of parental involvement in relation to pupils' school
development activities, Aga Elementary School deemed it necessary to encourage and strengthen
parental involvement in school. This could be achieved through the coordinated effort of the
policymakers, school officials, school heads, guidance counselors and teachers. As these problems were
raised, the researcher is one of those concerned who conducted this study.
METHODS
To achieve the purpose of the study, the researchers used the descriptive survey type of research. The
respondents of this study were eighteen elementary teachers of Aga Elementary School. The
questionnaire was utilized as the main tool in the data gathering instrument.
RESULTS
Teachers perceived that parents' involvement is very effective in school development activities. They
also perceived that communicating is very effective from home to school and from school to home
about school programs and pupils progress. This shows that parents can help a lot in the development
of school activities. This also implies that the involvement of parents is needed to create a good
development in school activities as well as the improvement of pupil's performance.
DISCUSSIONS
The results show that teachers assessed the parents' involvement in school development activities as
very effective. There are also varied strategies that are very much needed to develop their involvement
in school activities. Regular attendance of all parents should be encouraged during PTA meetings by
school administrators and teachers so that parents will understand the importance of their participation.
A proposed action plan was made as a point of reference to enhance the involvement of parents in
school development activities.

Effectiveness of Pedagogical Approaches in Teaching English Utilized by

the Intermediate Teachers in District IV, Division of Batangas City
Ghermine Shane Capul, Wawa Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The English teachers nowadays are challenged to develop students' competencies in using the English
language as far as global competition is concerned. For developing language learning skills in English,
the teacher should adopt appropriate approaches from time to time. The pedagogical approach should
be shifted from a form-based approach to a meaning-based approach. 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.
METHODS
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, and coefficient or significant relationship.
RESULTS
All pedagogical approaches (2C-21-1R) were effectively utilized in teaching English by the intermediate
teachers. There was a significant difference in the assessment 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 the reflective approach. The
assessment of the administrator-respondents on the performance of learners in English resulted in a
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.
DISCUSSIONS
The English teachers were able to utilize the pedagogical approaches effectively in terms of 2C-2I-R
(constructivism, collaborative, inquiry-based, integrative, reflective). The researcher proposed an action
plan to enhance the utilization of pedagogical approaches in meeting the demands for the development
of 21st-century learning skills among learners. 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.

They are used to acquiring ideas not by him alone but through groups or by teams.
The active participation of the students in the classroom discussion is always being encouraged to
strengthen not only the cognitive ability of the learners but also the affective and psychomotor domains.
Students are involved in solving problems, brainstorming, formulating questions on their own,
discussing ideas and expressing an opinion on debates.
METHODS
This research used a descriptive method of research. This was used to determine the effects of
cooperative learning strategy in teaching English. Served as a way to describe the nature of the existing
condition. Existed in the natural setting, the questionnaire was employed to collect perception
respondents, specifically the researcher used a questionnaire to validate the study.
RESULTS
The use of cooperative learning strategy in teaching English in the subject schools in terms of
membership composition, choice of group/team leader and membership adjustments were effective, the
extent of the effectiveness of the use of cooperative learning strategy in the teaching of English in terms
of pupil's development in the following domains cognitive, affective and psychomotor were moderately
effective
The majority of pupils fall on 80-84 average grades on their academic performance.
Also, there are significant differences in the respondents' responses to the extent of the use of
cooperative learning strategy and their assessment of the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategy.
DISCUSSIONS
From the data gathered in this study, it shows that the teachers need to attend conferences and training
on the different teaching strategies. It was also drawn from the study that the Comparison between the
perceptions of two different respondents can be another scope of research to determine the significant
difference as the individual computed a result based on each response is concerned. Also, other
techniques in procuring data can be used as data gathering in terms of the interview or verbal

Effects of Creating Active Numerist (CAN) as Intervention Program to the

Non-Numerate Learners
Milchie Antepuesto
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching Mathematics has become a major issue in different parts of the country. The teaching
strategies used by teachers and the quality of teachers have affected the performance of the learners. It is
one of the hardest parts for a Mathematics teacher to easily learn Mathematics by his learners but he can
think a way for his learners to learn and love Mathematics well. He came to think of the intervention
program that will help him in improving his teaching in Mathematics. It has been observed that many
learners have not yet mastered the basic skills of four fundamental operations in Mathematics which is
very important for them to be able to solve specific problems. With the help of newly developed
instructional materials, he thinks that it can lessen the problem.
METHODS
The study was focused on improving Mathematics performance through the use of an intervention
program (CAN). Out of 42 learners who took the diagnostic test,15 are non-numerate who will undergo
the said program. This program was done from 10:00- 10:35 from Monday to Thursday within two
months. With the use of the descriptive-survey design of research using one group pretest-posttest
design of the research was utilized to gather to attain the purpose of the study and to test the
effectiveness of the developed materials.
RESULTS
The result of the post-test administered to the 15 learners shows that in addition without regrouping 15
learners improved from non- numerate learners while in addition with regrouping 12 learners improved
to numerate learners after being exposed to the CAN intervention program and 3 learners are still non-
numerate. There is an increase in the level of performance of the learners, thus the performance is
better after the intervention program. There is sufficient evidence at the alpha level of significance to
show that there is a significant difference between the performance of 15 Non-Numerate learners
before and after their exposure to the said intervention program with respect to all the lessons involved.
This means that the use of the intervention program improves the level of performance in Mathematics
lesson.
DISCUSSIONS
The intervention program was effective in developing the Mathematics performance of learners but
there still a need to have constant practice in solving math problems to improve the performance better.
Parents' involvement may take part also by giving them full support and follow up at home. Constant
follow up of the next Mathematics teachers should be conducted for further development.

Yna Angelie Erestain

(Adviser: Cristina Gonzales)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Today, due to students' population, different learning needs are continuously increasing. It is a challenge
for all teachers to serve diverse learners academically. That is why most of the teachers are using
differentiated instruction as their teaching approach, an academically responsive instruction, to ensure
that students are learning according to their interest inside a mixed-ability classroom. In this study, we
investigated the effects of using differentiated instruction as an approach to students' learning of Grade
11 students at Anuling National High School, School Year 2018-2019.
METHODS
Quantitative research was used by the researchers, using the descriptive research design, to gather
information on current situations and conditions about the effects of differentiated instruction to
students by conducting a survey. 20 item close-ended questionnaire was created for this survey which is
one of the data collection instruments of this study. Census was the sampling choice used by the
researchers and the selected population for this study was grade 11 senior high students of Anuling
National High School.
RESULTS
The results show that the effects of differentiated instruction to students in terms of their personality
and interest are they became challenged, they are able to demonstrate their talent, they become more
responsible, they recognize their strengths and weaknesses and improves it, they build their self-
confidence and build more friends. While in terms of their learning style differentiated instruction
motivates students to do an activity, it enhances their knowledge and skills, they understand the lesson
more, they are able to think critically and creatively, and they have the opportunity to experience a
variety of tasks.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results the researchers found out that differentiated instruction has a positive effect on
students' personality and interest as well as to their learning style. Just like previous studies that
differentiated instruction is really an effective approach. However, there is still a call for teachers to use
it frequently and to create a new strategy of differentiated instruction. The information presented can be
used as a basis in planning for seminars and training about differentiated instruction to use it further.
And to recommend the use of differentiated instruction across disciplines.

Avram Gutierrez, San Juan National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, students in the Senior High School find it hard to respond to the critical questions in Science
subjects, particularly in Physical Science. Discovery Learning is a student-centered approach that focuses
on student potential to react to various stimuli and respond to a given situation. The approach opens
opportunities for students to perform, demonstrate, and discover experiences on their own using
necessary prior knowledge. In this study, the researcher explores the significant effects of using
discovery approach in teaching Physical Science to the Senior High School students in San Juan
METHODS
This study used quasi-experimental research wherein the researcher treated two classes identified
through cluster random sampling. One experimental class employed Discovery Approach and the
control class employed the Conventional Learning Approach. The data is determined through results
from pre-tests and post-tests.
RESULTS
Based on the results of pre-tests and post-tests, the researcher found out that there is a significant effect
in teaching Physical Science of the Senior High School Students using the Discovery Learning
Approach as compared to the conventional approach. Furthermore, the educational outcomes of the
Senior High School students belonging in the experimental class have also increased by 28.73%.
DISCUSSIONS
The studies contribute to the needs of the Science teachers in developing critical thinking skills among
Senior High School students through the use of the Discovery Learning Approach. It serves as an
instrument to elevate the teaching approaches and methodologies to effectively deliver lessons in
Physical Science, thus, improve the academic performance of the students. Finally, the researcher
recommends the conduct of Division-wide training on Discovery Learning Approach to instill its
relevance among Science teachers.

Department of Education - Antipolo City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Homosexuality among students is now rampant. It is usually called a gender crisis to every individual
suffers from this abnormality in their behavior. People would often throw them hurtful words just to
make them feel inferiors and even hurt them physically. Schools should be safe places for everyone.
These abuses can cause deep and lasting harm and curtail student's right to education, protected under
the Philippine and international law. (HRW, 2017) According to the Advocates of Youth (2017), about
86% of LGBT students reported verbal harassment at school and 44% of LGBT youth reported being
physically harassed at school because of their sexual orientation. The consequences of physical and
verbal abuse directed at LGBT students include truancy, dropping out of school, poor grades and
having to repeat a grade. This phenomenon has made the researchers curious about how discrimination
affects the academic performance of a homosexual Junior High School students of Old Boso-Boso
METHODS
This study made use of the descriptive, survey research design to determine the effects of discrimination
on the homosexual Junior High School students of Old Boso National High School for the school year
2018-2019. This study used a purposive sampling method in selecting the participants. All junior high
school students of the said school that are homosexuals were given survey questionnaires to determine
their academic performance and the degree of discrimination experienced. This study used the
percentage mean scores and t-test to determine the effects of discrimination on the academic
performance of the students.
RESULTS
Most of the respondents of the study were 15 years old with the highest percentage of 31.82 percent
and the least number of respondents was 13 years old with a percentage of 18.18 percent. Further, most
of the respondents are achievers with the highest percentage of 68.18 percent and the least number of
respondents are with honors having the percentage of 31.82 percent.
DISCUSSIONS
This study showed that homosexuals in the said school experienced discrimination on their peers but in
different degrees of discrimination. Homosexual experiencing low discrimination got high grades than
those experiencing high discrimination.

Effects of DOTA 2 Towards the Academic Performance of Grade 10

Students of Looc Integrated School S.Y. 2017-2018
Karl Francis Urlanda & Joffrey Silverio, Looc Integrated School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
With the innovation of new technologies, many applications had been invented including different types
of games. Games can be considered a hobby when it comes to maximizing "free time" but it can be
considered a distraction to studies. This research study aimed to distinguish what was the effect of
DOTA 2 to the grade 10 students of Looc Integrated School in terms of academic performance S.Y.
2017- 2018. The problem idea relies on how the students got involved in accessing DOTA 2. The
academic performance played a big role in determining the status of one student. It refers to the
outcomes that indicate the extent to which a person has accomplished specific goals that were the focus
of activities in instructional movements specifically in school, college, and university.
METHODS
In order to fulfill the objectives, the researchers used descriptive correlational research design. It is used
to describe the answers of the respondents in a non-judgmental way and getting the same idea
combined together. This design was used to know if there are any similarities between the answers of
the chosen participants. The participants were chosen randomly by determining who among them plays
DOTA 2 using questionnaires. The researchers also used a one-on-one interview and recorders to get
the in-depth meaning of the problem. Only 10 students were selected to be participants of this study.
RESULTS
According to the analyzed results and data gathered, the researchers concluded that playing DOTA 2
does have an effect on the academic performance of the students. Most of the respondents mentioned
that they do not pick schooling first and cut classes just to play DOTA 2 in the computer cafe. Along
with peers, they usually spend a minimum of 5 hours and a maximum of 8 hours either teaming up with
each one or playing with other groups with money on stake. Also, the participants most likely affirmed
that they eat instant noodles at a computer shop as a substitute for dinner or lunch. Lastly, 8 out of 10
respondents admitted that they're being influenced by friends.
DISCUSSIONS
The researchers concluded that playing DOTA 2 has an effect not only on the academic performance of
the students but also on their time management and budget allocation. Getting too much attention on
playing games can develop a big impact on an individual daily routine. The researchers would like to
recommend this study to the students, teachers, and parents to give them guide and warning on how
games can be a hindrance in different aspects.

Paul Denver Ramirez, Mataasnakahoy Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The function of education is to bring change in child behavior and personality. But education is not just
learning based on academic performance; among them is involvement in Extracurricular Activities
(ECA). This order gives conclusion - participating in extracurricular activities affects students'
academic performance in both positive and negative ways. Considering all these, it depends on the
students on how they will be overbearing the consequences.
METHODS
In this study, different methods of the design were employed. Through the descriptive method of
research, we conducted focus group discussion among grade 11 students of Mataasnakahoy Senior High
School. 30 students from five different sections of the academic track were selected and responded to a
set of interview questionnaires. Judgmental sampling (a sampling technique where the researcher selects
units to be sampled based on their knowledge and judgment) was also used with data collected through
qualitative analysis of effects of extracurricular activities on students' academic performance.
RESULTS
Most of the students responded to our interview joined officership as their involvement in
extracurricular activities and have gained personality improvement and development as beneficial effects
in joining these activities. Likewise, they got additional points which helped them in achieving target
grades at school. Moreover, the overall result from the interview questionnaire answered by the
participants mostly showed positive effects of extracurricular activities on students' academic
performance.
DISCUSSIONS
The results suggest the continuity of joining extracurricular activities to keep the students' academic
performance very well. Students can also do different ways to improve their personality, class
performance and grades at school.

Effects of Feedbacks to the Performance of Secondary School Teachers:

Basis for Professional Development
Mary Jane Gonzalvo, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teachers' evaluation refers to the formal process a school uses to review and rate teachers' performance
and effectiveness in the classroom. Ideally, the findings from these evaluations are used to provide
feedback to teachers and guide their professional development (Sawchuk, 2015).
This study attempted to look into the effects of feedback on the performance of public secondary
school teachers as a basis for their professional development. It further described the importance of
using different types of feedback namely: evaluative, constructive, descriptive and corrective in
evaluating the teachers' performance.
METHODS
The primary data were collected through the use of a survey encompassing the perception of the
respondents on types of feedback and professional development in terms of performance and job
attitude.
RESULTS
School head respondents perceived all types of feedback indicators as "agree" while teachers and
students perceived all types of feedback indicators as "strongly agree".
Generally, school heads agree to all of the variables of professional development, however, strongly
agree particularly on interest and responsibility while the teachers and the students have a similar
response to almost all of the variables of professional development.
The perception of the school heads on types of feedback has no significant relationship to professional
development as to performance. This study illustrated the significant difference in the perception of the
respondents on types of feedbacks.
The perception of respondents on professional development as to performance and job attitudes are
significantly different.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the following recommendations are offered:
It will be helpful for the school administrators to review existing feedbacks, that they may enhance work
performance among teachers. This will be the basis to plan programs for teacher development that will
lead to the teacher's professional growth.
Teachers may be aware of and be provided with theories of policies and practices on giving and
receiving effective feedback.
Since students have inputs on evaluating teachers' performance and considered to be the number one
critic, teachers may always perform duties and responsibilities associated with the profession to the best
of their ability.

Effects of Fuller Method in Enhancing the Reading Ability of Struggling

Readers in Grade Two at Lecheria Elementary School
Sevilla Lubuguin, Department of Education - Calamba City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study was conducted to determine the Effective of Fuller Method in Enhancing the Reading
Ability to struggle Readers. Based on the result of the School-Based Pre-Reading Assessment for the
School Year 2018 - 2019 which was assessed by the Teachers, Grade Two pupils got the greatest
number of struggling readers composing of 10 males and 12 females, thus became the subject of this
study together with their parents/guardians and two teacher-advisers. Fuller Method, a combination of
the alphabet, phonics and whole methods of teaching word recognition (Jalal, et.al,2007), was then
employed by the teacher-advisers to test its extent/effects in enhancing the reading ability of these
struggling readers.
As cited by Gunning (2003), teachers have a pivotal role in helping children to develop and maintain a
positive attitude towards learning and literacy. To motivate children to read, classroom teachers
demonstrate a passion for reading; act as model readers for their students; know how children perceive
the value of reading and support them in developing a positive self-image by having them work with
text that is at their current reading level.
METHODS
After the Post-Reading assessment, the data gathered were tallied, analyzed and interpreted through a
descriptive method of research. Moreover, the researcher used the interview as a basis to come up with
the data needed to identify factors that affect the reading abilities of Grade Two pupils. The data
collected served as the main bases for the researchers to recommend ways on how to enhance the
reading abilities of the pupil-respondents
RESULTS
The result of this study revealed that Fuller Method has a moderate effect in enhancing the child's
reading ability. In lieu of this, follow-up interview to parents/guardians was conducted to determine
other existing factors that affect the child's reading performance.
After scrutinizing the results, the researcher offered recommendations that can help in enhancing the
child's reading ability.
DISCUSSIONS
The results show that Fuller Method has a moderate effect in enhancing the reading skills of pupils. It
further reveals that there are other factors that hinder the skill of a child. Cooperation from parents or
guardians is needed to help the pupils in enhancing his/her reading skills.

Effects of Group Work Activities in Raising Students Motivation in Science
Rheenacel Morales, Department of Education, ATANGAS/ Pingkian Elementary

School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Group work activities are one of the best strategies initiated by the teacher in a classroom discussion. It
can apply in a different subject area particularly in Science subjects because it is more on
experimentation and researching which requires group work activities. In this study, we search for the
most effective group work activities to use by the teacher in Science. It concerns with some problems
that intermediate pupils encountered during activities and giving them an absolute solution to the
problem.
METHODS
The research design used by the researcher was a qualitative analysis, they provided questionnaires and
interview guides as an instrument in gathering data to describe the effects of group work activities in
raising student motivation in science. Three Teachers and 15 intermediate students were the
respondents of the study. The researcher conducted the study at Pingkian Elementary School which is
located at Reparo, Nasugbu, Batangas. The information given by the respondents was interpreted and
presented as narrative statements.
RESULTS
Most of the respondents who participated in the study agreed that giving group work activities given by
the teacher to their pupils were effective. They find it interesting, enjoyable and motivating. 80% of the
respondent admits that doing group activities help them understand the lesson easier rather than alone
because they are comfortable to ask a question with their group mates and get ideas from them. Giving
group work activities also develop socialization skills of the student and improve self-confidence.
DISCUSSIONS
The result shows that many students are interested in group work activities, they enjoy the activities and
they are very motivated to learn. Group work activities can catch the attention of the learners by using
different activities such as sci games and body language, for them to have long retention of the topic. So
that the teacher should be more flexible in administering the activities. The teacher may prepare group
work activities that are not expensive but interesting. They can use different sorts of activities that suit
the level of intelligence of the learners for them to become more attentive and alive during science time.

Effects of Heuristic Problem-Solving Strategy to Eight Grade Students' Self-

Efficacy in Mathematics
Amelyn P. Julve, Teacher

(Adviser: Brazil M. Gumanoy)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Heuristic strategy can greatly improve students' self-efficacy when they are engaged in problem-solving
activities; this is especially helpful for novice problem-solvers (Rudd, 2010). Many of the students in
Florida H. Irizari National High School are noticeable, as traced to their academic performances, known
as the low achievers, others got failing grades and negative remarks in Mathematics 8, and this is the
reason why this study was conducted to examine the effects of heuristic problem-solving strategy on
Grade Eight students' self-efficacy in Mathematics.
METHODS
The Quasi-experimental method of research was used. A total of 60 students of Florida Herrera Irizari
National High School (FHINHS), who were enrolled in Grade Eight during the Fourth Grading Period
of the Academic Year 2017-2018 were utilized as respondents of the study. Thirty students were
included in the Heuristic Problem-Solving integration for the experimental group, and another thirty
students were assigned in the control group that was identified based on their average in the 3rd grading
period. The study involved three phases: pre-experimental activities, experiment proper and post-
experimental activity.
RESULTS
Results from the treatment and analysis of data revealed that: a.) there was a significant difference in the
pretest and posttest mean scores of the students in the experimental group; b.) there was a significant
difference in the students' self-efficacy achievement in Mathematics Eight when taught using Heuristic
Problem-Solving and Lecture Method as teaching strategies; c.) there was no significant difference in the
students' self-efficacy in Mathematics Eight when taught using the two teaching strategies and when
grouped according to their Mathematical Level; and that d.) there is no significant interaction effect on
the students' self-efficacy when they were exposed using the two teaching strategies and when grouped
according to their mathematical level.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings, it can be asserted that Heuristic Problem-Solving can be an effective teaching
strategy to enhance Students' achievement in Mathematics. It can be further concluded that Heuristic
Problem-Solving and the use of Lecture Method as a teaching strategy are both effective for the
different mathematical ability levels, Finally, the higher achieving students of both experimental and
control groups perform better in mathematics than those low achieving students in both experimental
and control groups. This result supports the study of Pimta, et.al, (2009) who claimed that students
learned to become better problem-solvers; they would demonstrate a higher degree of self- efficacy.

Effects of In-Service Trainings on Teachers' Teaching Performance and

Pupils' Academic Performance in Public Elementary Schools, Lipa City
West District, Division of Lipa City
Jane Carandang, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
An important commitment of any teacher to his profession is to continue to grow professionally. One
of the problems is how to upgrade the competencies of teachers in various areas. To solve this problem,
in-service training, seminars, workshops, and other education programs was believed to be one of the
solutions being offered to address the problems identified. This study was conducted to determine the
effects of in-service training on teachers' teaching performance and pupil’s academic performance in the
Division of Lipa City West District during the school year 2015-2016.
METHODS
It employed the descriptive method of research and utilized the researcher made questionnaire in
gathering the data needed in the study. There were 16 school heads and 202 teachers from the different
schools in the Division of Lipa City, West District who were involved as respondents. The statistical
tools applied in treating the data were a percentage, ranking, weighted mean and t-test.
RESULTS
The study revealed that the teachers performed the instructional tasks to a great extent as affected by
the in-service training in the delivery of the lesson, employment of teaching strategies, utilization of
index of mastery, management of the classroom and assessment of the learning outcomes. There was no
significant difference between the assessment of the two groups of respondents on the effect of in-
service training in the instructional performance of teachers because the computed t-value did not reach
the tabular value at a 5 percent level of significance. The pupils have shown satisfactory performance in
the three domains of learning as affected by the in-service training of teachers.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings it is recommended that though the teachers were able to perform the different
instructional tasks to a great extent they should still be encouraged to exert more effort to enhance their
performance to the highest level. In as much as the teachers perform their task to achieve the pupil's
performance at a satisfactory level, the school head should extend assistance to the teacher. The school
heads should have a follow-up on the implementation of the different in-service pieces of training
undergone by the teachers for improvement. The proposed action plan needs to be studied by the
school heads for modification if needed to be implemented. A follow-up study needs to be conducted
to determine if the marked improvement is attained.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Campus journalism provides platforms in which students highlight their skills in collecting data to come
upon an article for school paper publication. However, as they go along with different journalism
activities, time for academic ventures are being affected. The time supposed to allow in different
academic works is allocated to fulfill journalism-related endeavors assigned. In some cases, the school
protects the grades of the student-journalists by means of retaining it and exempting them from missed
activities and examinations. In a way, they are able to balance their academic standing and journalism-
related activities. As such, this study aimed at determining how journalism affects the academic standing
of student-journalists in secondary schools of San Juan, Batangas. It also revealed the difficulties
encountered in participating in Journalism.
METHODS
A descriptive method was used in this study with a validated questionnaire as a research instrument. The
study made use of the student journalists from different secondary schools of San Juan, Batangas as
respondents, obtained through purposive sampling. Before conducting the study, the researcher secured
permits to authorities.
RESULTS
As revealed in the study, most of the respondents are Editors of sections such as news, features, sports,
and science. Likewise, most of the respondents are student-journalists for almost four years and have
participated in various contests held in the Division Level. This study further revealed that students'
attendance is greatly affected by their participation in Journalism-related activities. It is evident on the
generated composite mean of 2.83 interpreted as frequently encountered. Likewise, they also
encountered problems during examinations, output preparation, and class discussion. It is supported by
the obtained composite means of 2.75, 2.71 and 2.61, respectively.
DISCUSSIONS
Journalism has a great impact on the academic standing of every student-journalists. However, their
attendance, examinations, output preparation, and class discussion are greatly affected by their
participation in Journalism-related activities. Despite being unable to attend classes and submit the
prescribed academic requirements, the schools are making its way to provide remediation and
enrichment activities to provide them with the needed skills and knowledge required in different
learning areas. As such, strengthening specialized programs for student-journalists is highly
recommended.

Effects of Learning Environment to the Classroom Performance of the

Grade 10 Students in Lipa City National High School: Basis for
Improvement
Carolina Sabido, Lipa City National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
A large amount of student's time is spent sitting in a school classroom. This place is where they gain
various skills deemed necessary and proper for them to achieve success in a global society. It is also in
the classroom where they will gain an understanding of their place in the world and the gifts that they
have to offer it. Similarly, it is where the student develops what they want their future to look like, as
well as knowledge of the skills needed to reach that goal. With the classroom being such an important
place in the life and growth of a student, it is important to understand the ways in which this learning
environment should be structured in order to receive maximum effectiveness. This study focused on
determining the effects of the learning environment to the classroom performance of grade 10 students.
METHODS
A descriptive survey method was used to determine the effects of the learning environment on the
classroom performance of grade 10 students. In gathering essential data, the researcher made use of a
researcher-constructed questionnaire. The data were then retrieved, tallied, statistically treated and
interpreted with the use of frequency count, percentage, ranking, f-Test, correlation coefficient, and t-
Test.
RESULTS
The performance of grade10 students during the periodical examination was sometimes affected by the
learning environment. Most of the students acknowledged that they can answer best their periodical test
when the classroom is well-ventilated and noise free. Significantly, there is considerable literature
considering the effect of noise on human functioning and quite a lot of it relates to learning in noisy
environments. The noise was found to have an effect on cognitive functioning often involving memory.
This is the reason why most grade 10 students dislike noisy classroom environment during periodical
test.
DISCUSSIONS
The physical elements of the learning environment in LCNHS have discernible effects on students'
performance in terms of attendance, classroom performance and periodical examination. With this
finding, it is then suggested that careful consideration and research-based decisions should be made in
planning and designing the learning environment that should be provided among its students.

Mathematics Test
Ofelia Bayaras
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Most of the time, answering test in Mathematics really upset learners. The phobia fever is on in every
Mathematics test. Thus, this action research was able to cure the phobia by letting the learners listen to
their favorite Music while taking the test. Learners today are Music - lovers, thus made the result
effective.
METHODS
This action research utilized two ways of survey namely questionnaire - based and experiment - based.
This study was conducted to 169 participants, of which 84 undergone the experiment of answering tests
with Music and 85 used the conventional way. The average of four quizzes given was tabulated and
evaluated. Frequency and percentage distribution, mean and standard deviation were the tools used in
this study.
RESULTS
It was found out that learners who answered the test with Music scored higher than those without
Music. The average obtained by this group, the experimental group, as compared to the scores of the
control group, the group who answered the test conventionally, were much higher than the control
group. The mean score of the experimental group was 6.11 which was 2.04 higher than the mean score
of 4.07 of the control group. In addition, in all the four quizzes given, the experimental group
consistently got a much higher average than the control group.
DISCUSSIONS
The results gave us the conclusion that listening to Music while answering a Mathematics test was really
effective in improving learners' performances. Since they enjoyed what they're doing, the more they
were motivated to answer the test in Mathematics. MUSIC is used to create desired moods, enjoyment,
boost energy, increase happiness, and help relaxation and focus. Furthermore, my mission as a Math
Teacher shall not only be for my students to master competencies, but more importantly, for them to
like what they do. For happiness begets success.

Effects of Mathematical Games on students' Achievement and Attitude in

Mathematics
Jean Ibanez, CAPSTEA
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The 21st century must be prepared to face the different challenges they will experience in the future.
They must be equipped with knowledge and skills in mathematics. However, most of the students find
difficulty in mathematics due to its negative attitude towards this discipline. To eliminate this attitude,
mathematical games are integrated into teaching this subject.
METHODS
This study used a quasi-experimental design, particularly the non-equivalent control group design with
pretest and post-test and qualitative design.
This is to compare the achievement of students taught using mathematical games with another group,
the control group, taught using the lecture method. To gather data achievement tests in mathematics,
attitude scale test, lesson plan integrating mathematical games, classroom observation form,
questionnaire, and interview are used. The participants of the study are the grade 10 students of Cupang
National High School Division of Antipolo City school year 2015-2016. The data were analyzed using
mean, standard deviation and t-test for dependent and independent samples.
RESULTS
The mean scores of the achievement test and attitude scale test increases after integrating the
mathematical games in the teaching. There is also an increase in the control group since the teacher was
teaching them. However, there is no significant difference in the pretest and posttest in the attitude scale
test in the control group. There is a significant difference in the mean scores in the achievement test and
attitude scale test in the experimental group.
DISCUSSIONS
The integration of mathematical games in the lesson is effective in improving the achievement and
attitude of the students towards mathematics.

Effects of Native Language Usage to Second Language Acquisition among

Grade Seven Students of Padre Garcia National High School
Kenneth Mangundayao, Padre Garcia National High School, Batangas Province
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The scores of PGNHS students on English during the National Achievement Test have been decreasing
for the past three school years. A new study is exploring how a person's native language affects the
acquisition and understanding of their second language. The results of this study would be a great help
to increase the comprehension and performance rate of students on the English subject.
METHODS
The participants are 45 Grade 7 students at Padre Garcia National High School. Researchers used
random sampling on choosing their research respondents. To obtain the target, participants were
presented with survey questionnaires and they were asked to put a check mark in the box that answers
the questions. The first set of survey questionnaires aims to know the reasons for students having a hard
time understanding the English language. The second set was then formulated to evaluate the effects of
first language usage on second language acquisition. Lastly, the third set was designed to determine the
strategies suggested to improve the skills of students on the English language.
RESULTS
The findings of this study show that too much reliance on our native language has been the main reason
for having a hard time understanding English. In fact, 100% of the respondents stated that they often
prefer to use "Filipino" rather than English. Moreover, this study pointed out that the major effect of
our first language towards the usage and acceptance of our second language which amounted to 60% of
all the respondents is the act of having difficulties with the diction and pronunciation of English words.
Lastly, to be able to deal with this problem, 97% of the respondents got interested in switching the
operating language of their mobile phones into English as well as on writing down new words that they
have learned daily in a special notebook and reviewing them on a regular basis.
DISCUSSIONS
Overall, the survey findings suggest that using "Filipino" as our first dialect has a big impact on the
acquisition of English which is our second language. The responses suggested that there is a big need
for educators to design and formulate different programs and activities suited for the English
comprehension skills of students. As what the findings suggest, students are more likely to be active in
participating with the learning process if there is an engagement of modern technology. With this,
qualitative investigators must conduct research regarding students' motivation to learn, accept, and use
the English language.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Today many of us have stayed up more than once playing our favorite online computer games. Online
games have many genres including casual games. Online games can range from single text-based games
incorporating complex graphics and virtual worlds populated by many players simultaneously. Online
games consumed at least 9 hours for teenagers playing online does have positive views as for
recreational purposes, but it could also do to opposite views and be destruction instead.
METHODS
This research used descriptive-correlation method design in gathering data and information, twenty
Senior and twenty Junior High School of Lusok Integrated School as respondents, it uses survey
questionnaires as an instrument for data gathering, were analyzed, and interpreted by using percentage,
frequency distribution, and the sample mean formula as the statistical treatment.
RESULTS
It shows that 35% of learners experienced tardiness due to online games, 29% of the had poor
performance, 15% of them lost interest in school, 13% had a tendency of dropping, and 8% involved in
a quarrel. The academic performance before the intervention shows that 3 respondents with the
equivalent of 7.5% who were playing manifested poor performance, 18 equivalents to 45% of grades
from 75-79 having Fair, while 16 equivalents of 49% of them having an average from 80-84 with
Satisfactory. Three respondents with the equivalent of 7.5% having a grade from 85-89 with Very
Satisfactory. After the intervention, none of them has an average of below 75. Out of forty respondents,
8 of them with 20% got an average from 75-79 with Fair, 25 of them with 62.5% got an average from
80-84 with Satisfactory, and 7 of them with 17.5% got an average from 85-89 with Very Satisfactory.
DISCUSSIONS
Academic performance after the intervention over before intervention shows that there were no
learners who got an average of 75. Overall, it has an increased in learners got good grades when the
intervention was implemented. Home visitation, reorientation of school policies and regulations,
internet cafes© regulation, and sports programs must be emphasized to actively minimize if not
eradicate the addiction of online games. Strict implementation of Barangay Ordinances must be
enforced, monitor learners progress using innovated checks and accurate intervention, and provide
training programs such as responsible parenting and responsible adolescents. Above all, the school
guidance counselor must be interactive.

Secret Garden"
Tricia Aez F. Mauhay, Master Teacher 1

(Adviser: Russel Mauhay)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
All of us wish we'd had perfect childhoods, with a mother and father who modeled ideal parental
attitudes and taught us to internalize the tenets of self-love. Many of us, however, did not." As said by
Marianne Williamson, an American Writer. Parental Absence is the temporary or extended absence of
one or both parents. Not everyone has experienced having parents to guide and love us. Parental
absence is the temporary or extended absence of one or both parents. This absence can have an effect
on the child in different ways.
METHODS
The researcher used the descriptive method which involves the manipulation of conditions for the
purpose of studying the relative effects applied to the study. The information gathered from reading the
novel was done through a focused and high comprehensive reading using the sense of sight or seeing.
RESULTS
The chosen novel is characterized by different descriptions of the characters. It is described by
appearance, lifestyle, and status in life.
The effects of parental absence are can be seen in the novel, such as the use of aggression as a shield
and being spoiled. Parental involvement is an important part of the interaction between parent and
child.
DISCUSSIONS
The novel showed the effects of parental absence as that the researcher picked the most general
problems; Use of aggression as a shield and being spoiled. It demonstrated the importance of parents in
a child's life. The findings imply the need and importance of parental involvement to meet the needs of
every aspect of development whether the psychological, social, and mental aspects of a child.

High School Students at Sampiro Integrated Senior High School
Cristine Joy M. Mercado, Rejie A. Landicho, Rica D. Ona, & Samuel J. Badillo,
Sampiro Integrated Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The level of parental involvement has significant effects on children's academic performance. In
Sampiro Integrated Senior High School, one of the primary problems that the school administration
encounter is unawareness of parents in their child's academic performance. Some parents thought that
giving financial assistance was enough, they are unmindful that their involvement in their child's
academic performance and proper guidance are the important things that affect how their child
performs in school. In this study, the researchers found out that parents have a major influence on their
children's achievement in school. Parental involvement has an effect on academic performance of
Senior High School students in Sampiro Integrated Senior High School.
METHODS
A quantitative design was used to form a questionnaire. The respondents of this study are composed of
124, 27 parents and students from Grade 11 and 35 parents and students from Grade 12. In analyzing
the data, the researchers used a statistical treatment by using the frequency-percentage formula,
composite mean and weighted mean to easily measure which characteristic and effect dominated in the
survey.
RESULTS
The researchers found out that the parents of students are the ones who are more interested in engaging
themselves in the study habits and academic performance of their child. It is evident that most of the
respondents are female and most of them are Elementary graduates, but working. The main positive
effects of parental involvement on the academic performance of students were encouraging their child
to strive harder in participating in different school activities and be an enthusiastic learner. The
researchers ascertained that parental involvement affects the academic performance of the senior high
school students through the kind of guidance and the length of attention they give.
DISCUSSIONS
Parental involvement has a special role in the academic performance of the students. It stated that
parents know the primary factors in terms of time and environment which they need to engage
themselves in the academic performance of their child. However, they should control the usage of
gadgets of their children. Parents' involvement helps the child to become a better student. It also
indicates that through the benevolence of parents in giving guidance, their child will be able to learn
how to become independent and learn to socialize with others.

Effects of Parental Migration to Intermediate Pupils of Labac Elementary

School
Nerie Magpantay, Department of Education - Cuenca
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Over the past few decades, migration-both international and internal- has increased dramatically. It
presents both opportunities and challenges for societies, communities, and individuals. Children are
affected by migration in all regions of the globe. In our school, intermediate pupils whose parents are
working abroad, possesses a different kind of behavior that affects him, his performance in school and
how he reacts in the people around him. In this study, the authors report a comprehensive account of
factors affecting the children in parental migration. The goal of the researcher is to gather and analyze
adequate data to better understand how migration affects societies, families and especially children left
behind by their parents.
METHODS
The descriptive method had been employed to gather the needed data. The results were tabulated and
computed using the most appropriate statistical tool. Ten intermediate pupils out of eighteen learners
whose parents are working abroad were interviewed and provided with the Survey Questionnaire that
will be the main data gathering instrument.
RESULTS
It was evident that the majority of the parents working abroad are mothers who are supposed to be at
home to take care of their children, attend school activities and be present during special occasions in
the life of their children. Some of the intermediate pupils do not have a fatherly image to consult with or
seek advice and comfort during conflicts. Most of the problems met by the intermediate pupils whose
parents are working abroad have a great impact on the pupil's performance in school and their well-
being. The topmost problem is about proper caring, guidance and lacking motivation to study.
DISCUSSIONS
The results implicate the need for assistance to pupils having issues about their performance in school
and well-being. In line with this, the approved action plan will be given to teachers with pupils whose
parents are working abroad. It will be implemented and practiced within the school from the given
timeline to bridge the gap between families of parents working abroad and their children.

Effects of Parents Working Abroad on the Academic Performance of their

Children in Public Elementary School
Irine H. Mojica & Marleth Del Mundo, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Globalization opens lots of opportunities for our society. One of these is opportunities abroad which
encourage parents, resulting in leaving their children for the sake of wealthy living.
Though it greatly affects the financial state of the family, other important matters are being sacrificed
like the academic performance of their children.
This motivates the researchers to conduct the research entitled " Effects of Parents Working Abroad on
the Academic Performance of their Children in Public Elementary School" to find out the impact of
distance from their parents to the academic performance of their children.
METHODS
The researchers used a descriptive - quantitative questionnaire. A standardized questionnaire was given
to 53 respondents. Specifically, children ages 6-12 years old whose parents are working abroad in Pulo
ni Sara Elementary School.
RESULTS
Based on the results of the research conducted, Ages 6-8 years with 31 respondents showed that parents
working abroad have a negative impact on their academic performance;9-12 years of age having 22
respondents have a positive and negative impact with the total of 53 respondents.
40% of the respondents agreed that studying away from their parents "̃ guidance promotes independent
learning and somehow enhances their meta-cognition skills. They are able to discover techniques on
how they can excel in the academe without parental help.
While 60% of the respondents agreed that distance from their parents has a negative impact on their
academic performance. (40% abuse the independence given to them, leading to drop outs, early
pregnancy, and unreasonable absences.
While 20% of the respondents became too careless of their academic performance, which leads to
academic- misbehavior' issues like cheating, fraud of documents, etc.)
DISCUSSIONS
The findings of this research conclude that there is a positive and negative impact on the academic
performance of children whose parents are working abroad.
It can be concluded that during the foundation stage, it is better to have parental guidance so students
can excel in the academy and complete the " readiness stage" - whether it is intellectual, social,
emotional and psychological.
Furthermore, for ages 9-12, (wherein the students are on their puberty stage and experiencing an
identity crisis, psychological and physiological changes), the distance away from their parents has a
positive and negative impact. Thus, the effect lies on the " choices of the students" - whether they want
to excel or not.

Effects of Peer Tutoring on the Academic Performance of Selected Grade 9

Students in Science Subject
Pelita Abellon, Department of Education - Lipa City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Working collaboratively with peers can enhance teamwork to achieve high academic grades (
Department of Education Order no. 31, s. 2012). Peer tutoring is a topic that has received much
attention in educational research. Several studies have noted the positive effect that peer tutoring can
give, ranging from academic to extracurricular education services (Ching and Chang-Chen, 2009). This
action research study allowed me to expand the knowledge base of peer tutoring as an instructional
model to increase the academic performance of grade 9 students in Science subject in Bulacnin National
High School.
METHODS
The research site was located in Bulacnin National High School, Bulacnin, Lipa City. The group consists
of forty-one (43) grade 9 students. The intervention materialized during Independent/ Cooperative
Learning (ICL) time for 60 minutes once a week. High performing students were paired to low
performing students based on the results of students Pre-test. The effectiveness of the intervention was
determined through post-test, survey questionnaire, self-reflection, and self-evaluation.
RESULTS
The result of peer tutoring promotes overall positive effects to increase the academic grades of the
students. The students who participated in the peer tutoring program answered that they enjoy being
taught science by their peers, but admitted that the teacher is still better in disseminating science
concepts. The results of the tutors and tutees from the self-reflection and self-evaluation survey showed
that peer tutoring promoted an active classroom engagement among grade 9 students in Bulacnin
National High School. Students became more attentive and cooperative with group work, developed
discipline and respect toward their peers. The results indicated that peer tutoring helped students to
increase their grades in science and promote active engagement in the classroom. However, this study of
the study was effective is not enough to conclude that peer tutoring is the source of students'
improvement in totality.
DISCUSSIONS
The process of peer tutoring program claimed that through the intervention, their scores in Science
were improved. They also developed positive and active engagement in classroom activities. Based on
the reviews, I suggest constructing a more formal peer tutoring design during independent/cooperative
learning (ICL) time. After all, the purpose of the ICL is to engage students to develop good study habits
among their peers. Teachers should properly orient the selected tutors to train their tutees.

Effects of Playing Online Games as Experienced by Tingloy Senior High

School Student-Gamers
Angelica Manalo
(Adviser: Lorraine Vergara)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Playing online games is one of the timeliest student issues nowadays considering the world of
modernization. Apparently, their involvement in playing games has various effects on their attitude,
behavior, and performance may it be in their home or in school. This research aimed to identify the
different online games played by students, their effects on their attitude and behavior, academic
performance, and relationships with family and peers as well as the coping ways done considering such
effects.
METHODS
The researcher first had a survey of all the seven sections of Grades 11 and 12 in SHS within Tingloy
Central School to determine the people to be interviewed. Then, an unstructured interview was
conducted to ask and gather the needed information from the interviewees. Data collected were
analyzed in this descriptive research as ideas were thoroughly elaborated arriving at general themes and
views. The design specifically used is phenomenological as direct experiences were the primary focus.
RESULTS
It was found out that the online games played by students were Mobile Legends, Rules of Survival, and
Clash of Clans in which Mobile Legends is the most common. It was also revealed that due to playing
online games, they become violent at times especially when they fail to win causing them to say curse
words and other bad languages. They do not want to be disturbed while they are playing. If so, their
sudden reflex or response is uncontrollable. They also experienced difficulty in participating in school:
they opt not to attend class or if they were present, their focus is on the online games; they also become
lazy and forgetful, thus not being able to comply with requirements on time. All of which are factors for
receiving poor grades. Their relationship with their families and peers were also affected as they choose
to play than being with them. To cope with the effects, they try to manage their time, allot time
especially for school requirements and decide to play only during break.
DISCUSSIONS
It was clear that playing online games has a huge impact on students nowadays. Thus, there is a strong
need for guidance and monitoring of their activities either in school or at home. Educational seminars
and recreational activities may be conducted to prevent addiction and to further divert their attention
and not fully rely on online games for entertainment. Hence, even students presently live in a modern
world, it should be set in their minds that there should always be limitations.

Effects of Power Point Presentation and Teacher Made Reading Materials

on the Reading Level of Grade One
Lyziel Tanate
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading determines the academic achievements of students to a great extent. Both reading and academic
achievements are interrelated and dependent on each other. Academic achievement means how much
knowledge the individual has acquired from the school. Reading comprehension is one of the pillars of
the act of reading. When a person reads a text, he engages in a complex array of cognitive processes. He
is simultaneously using his awareness and understanding of phonemes, phonics, and the ability to
comprehend or construct meaning from the text. This last component of the act of reading is reading
comprehension. It cannot occur independently of the other two elements of the process. At the same
time, it is the most difficult and most important of the three.
METHODS
The study focused on improving the reading level of Grade One through the use of teacher's made
reading materials and power point in the reading intervention. With the use of the descriptive survey
method, a diagnostic test was given to 45 pupils and the result shows that 18 of them were non-readers.
The intervention program was done from 11:00 to 12:00 PM from Monday to Friday within two
months.
RESULTS
The use of PowerPoint presentation and teacher made reading materials highly contributes to the
improvement of the pupils' reading ability. It helps in retention of ideas for it involves the use of the
senses which stimulates learning. It also developed the love and interest of the pupils in reading. The
table shows that the grade one improves the reading level after attending reading remediation using a
PowerPoint presentation and teacher made reading materials. The pupils' performance in both syllabic
and sentence reading improved from non-reader to the reader. This implies that it is effective and
advised to use on the next set of pupils needing reading assistance. This means that the use of reading
remediation improves the reading level of struggling pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
It concludes that innovative techniques must be used to gain the interest of the pupils. Parents follow
up is highly recommended to make the program more successful. Based on the conclusions drawn and
findings of the study the researchers recommend that constantly follow up of the next reading teachers
and parents of the pupil-respondents should be conducted for further development incomprehension.
Likewise, further study of the same approach is suggested to concretize the effectiveness.

Effects of Project Plastic on the Absenteeism of Pupils in Quisao

Elementary School
Laarni M. Gaco, Merlinda P. Sanchez, & Rhodora A. Echague, Quisao Elementary

School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Education of the young is considered a vital investment in the Philippines. The government works
toward improving access to quality education and training of the youth. Nevertheless, the phenomenal
school dropping out reports is perennial combat that government initiatives take labor with. This study
will not only benefit the pupils, teachers and the school on its goal to stop absenteeism as a solution in
decreasing the Drop- Out Rate, at the same time, the community would also be able to work together in
utilizing proper solid waste management system which would further help reduce waste in the
environment.
METHODS
The respondents of the study were the forty-three (43) pupils from a different grade level in Quisao
Elementary School. Respondents were selected purposively and identified by the researchers. A
researcher made a checklist/self-devised survey questionnaire that was used in data gathering in the
analysis. On the other hand, statistical tools such as frequency counts were employed to analyze and
interpret data.
RESULTS
In problem no. 1, it was observed that the noted pupils were frequently absent prior to the assistance
provided by the Project PLASTIC, but as soon as they received the assistance the statistics show that
their absenteeism was recorded as rare occurrence only. On the other hand, the analysis in problem
number 2, is a notable decrease in the number of absences of respondents before and after the
implementation of Project PLASTIC. Therefore, there is a significant difference in the frequency of
absences of all respondents before and after the implementation of Project PLASTIC. Lastly, the
summary of the answers collected reflects that the pupil-respondents were able to come to school
regularly with the help of Project PLASTIC as compared to their previous records.
DISCUSSIONS
This study adheres to DO 74, s. 2010-Guidelines on Mainstreaming the Dropout Reduction Program
(DORP) in the Public Secondary Schools. This Department of Education Order emphasizes the action
of school to utilize the family, individual, community, and school (FICS) to identify and therefore
resolved the issues of pupils-at-risk of dropping out (SARDO). The intervention used in this study
which is the Project PLASTIC follows the Department's target of Education for All (EFA) 2015, and
the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 2015. This study is an answer to the Drop-Out Reduction
Program (DORP) in the Public School.

Effects of Project SCI-Dots (Science Competencies Increased by Defining

Operationally the Terms) for Better Understanding of Science Lessons of
Grade IV Pupils of Taliba Elementary School: An Action R
Elsie Noga & Marivic D. Encarnacion, Division Of Batangas, Department of

Education - San Luis
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Science is a discipline that relies heavily on students' ability to understand new terms and concepts. A
strong focus on vocabulary helps students understand and communicate using appropriate terminology,
and the incorporation of imagery makes learning fun. Everyday formative tests for a specific week
during the second grading period revealed that only 35% or 8 out of 23 Grade IV pupils got 75%,
showed mastery of the lesson. We found out that students continue to choose not to study science and
find that many science terms are hard for them to understand the lesson in Science. Because of this, the
school came up with a project that will help them to understand different science terms which we think
will help improve the respondents learning and perception about Science.
METHODS
The descriptive survey method was used in this study. The researchers used questionnaires,
observations, interviews, students' class work and other student outputs for this study. The
questionnaires were administered before and after Project SCI-DOTs was implemented. Student
interviews were done informally before, during, and after classes. Various studies and researches were
utilized as well as the books and other references that bore significance and resemblance to the topic of
this study. Data collected were tallied and interpreted.
RESULTS
Formative test in Science was conducted. It was noted that an average of 8 out of 23 pupils passed the
test. It was found out that the root cause of the problem on the failure of pupils to pass the test is
having difficulty in understanding the Science terms. The goal of Taliba Elementary School is to reach
75% mastery of at least 15 out 23 Grade IV Pupils through familiarization on different science terms.
This goal gave birth to Project SCI-DOTs. The results implied that during the implementation of the
project, more pupils perform better in the formative tests. Project SCI-DOTs is an effective way of
improving the class proficiency level and constructing deep learning concepts. The result of the study
was beyond our target. The class has increased proficiency level in Science formative test.
DISCUSSIONS
A strong focus on vocabulary helps students understand and communicate using appropriate
terminology, and the incorporation of imagery makes learning fun. The available evidence suggests that
Science teachers can help pupils in their consequential science learning by going back to basics.
Enriching vocabulary by operationally defining Science terminologies is essential in ensuring that
learning really takes place in every classroom situation.

Effects of Project Term to Students' Mathematics Performance
Amie Liza Cuizon, Alangilan Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics invades all disciplines and in the past decade, there have been shifts and innovation for
academic excellence in the field of mathematics. However, several types of research showed that are still
students struggling in the said subject. With this, the teacher needs to understand the phenomenon and
create meaningful ways on how to help the students. Thus, the concept of intervention programs could
bring an effect on mathematics performance. In view hereof, this study sought to determine the effects
of Project TERM (Teach Explicitly REMEDIAL MATHEMATICS) to students' mathematics
performance.
METHODS
An experimental research design was utilized in this study using teacher-made tests and worksheets
about basic mathematics. To ensure that the instrument will elicit correct responses from the students, it
was subjected to content validation. The teacher-made test was employed before and after the
experiment. While during the process of Project TERM, worksheets were utilized. The respondents of
the study were 45 grade 11 students of Alangilan Senior High School who obtained 75% and below
score on the pre-test.
RESULTS
Majority of the respondents achieved unsatisfactory performance in the pre-test while on the post-test
majority of the respondents attained very satisfactory performance after the conduct of Project TERM.
More so, the data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-
test results and the project was an effective tool to enhance the students' academic performance in
mathematics.
DISCUSSIONS
In the light of the findings that the project was an effective tool to improve students' mathematics
performance, it can be inferred that difficulties in learning can be addressed through early and
appropriate assessment plus conducting intervention activities relevant to the needs of the students.
This was supported by several types of research like Sudling in 2012 who stated that every intervention
relies on teachers' pedagogical content knowledge, enhancement activities and assessment of students'
progress. However, other aspects like evidence-based teaching strategies and duration of the program
may also be considered which may give a new direction to the results of the program.

Effects of Quiet Time to Kindergarten Pupils of Talon Elementary School
Jacquilyn Canuel
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
It's essential for everyone to have a balance of the noise that comes along with everyday life, and times
for silence to relax. Most people today are bombarded with a deluge set of activities. Young children
nowadays are no excuse in this busy world, with their daily activities, they become too busy to have their
quiet time.
In Department of Education Order no.47, series 2016 or the Omnibus Policy in Kindergarten
Education, a 10-Minute quiet time was included in the Kindergarten Class Program known as Blocks of
Time.
The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of the inclusion of the 10-minute quiet time to
kindergarten pupils in their performance during the story-telling time, the routine after the quiet time
METHODS
This study is qualitative research wherein data was collected through observation on kindergarten pupils'
participation in the storytelling time right after they have their 10-minute quiet time. Children’s'
proficiency in answering the questions after the story, their skill to retell and their ability in relating the
story in their personal lives were particularly observed in this study.
RESULTS
The result showed that after a 10-minute quiet time, most pupils tend to become more focus and
attentive on the storytelling activity and they become more active in participating during the storytelling
discussion. Out of 50 kindergarten pupils, 85% or 42 pupils were able to answer the questions, retell and
relate the story to their personal experiences.
DISCUSSIONS
Young learners are diverse and were raised differently in nature and background; they used to have a
different preference in the learning environment.
Findings of this research are typically relevant only to the class being observed and may yield different
results in other kindergarten class.
Providing the young learners time to have some rest after an hour and a half of studying in a class,
somehow gave them a moment to regain their strength not just physically but mentally and emotionally
as well.
It is very important that teachers systematically planned the lesson every day and that teachers provide
students, developmentally appropriate activities that would tickle their minds, and encourage them to be
actively engaged in the lesson for them to be holistically developed. There are many factors to consider
in children's development in school particularly in their performance, so effective classroom
management does matter a lot.

Effects of Reading Comprehension on Understanding Science Discipline

among Grade Four Students in Lodlod Elementary School
Melody Onsa
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Science is one of the important parts of the curriculum of basic and higher education. Therefore, it is
required at all levels in Philippine Education. It allows students to explore their world and discover new
things. It is an active subject that involves hands-on laboratory activities and experiments which makes
it well-suited to younger learners.
METHODS
This action research employed a descriptive qualitative design in order to gather data that would answer
the research questions.
RESULTS
Participants were asked, how do you feel during the Science period? (Anong nararamdaman sa tuwing
oras ng science?)
Different feelings were displayed by the participants during the Science class. Some were anxious, sad
because it's science time again, some were afraid that they might not understand the lesson on that
particular day and some felt not interested.
During the examination, some participants said that they just answered the test paper even without
reading and even if they read, they do not understand the message of the statement or question in the
examination. Therefore, they just guess during the examination.
When given table activities that require reading, it was observed that student participants really
encounter a hard time answering what the activity required. They had to approach their teacher so as to
understand the meaning of what was asked fully
DISCUSSIONS
There are terminologies in Science that others may not understand since they are technical terms. Other
than reading, the further explanation from more knowledgeable others are needed so that during
recitations and examinations, it would be easier for the students to understand the meaning of the text.

Effects of Reading Engagement in Action Program (REinAct) on the

Reading Performance of the Readers At- Risks in Bugarin Elementary
School
Are-Pee M. Castalone, Flordeliza B. Villaran, Geraldine I. Reyes, Lora Marie

Nacuspag, & Marivic B. Ordonez
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the problems encountered by the teachers is those non- readers and readers- at risk who cannot
cope up with their daily lessons. Reading is one way to effective learning and in improving other skills.
If learners can be able to read and understand what they read, they can easily adjust to the changes in
the environment and adapt to new situations and learning. Reading also serves as a way to learn other
things, skills and improve learning in other subjects specified in the curriculum. Reading is indeed an
essential task to improve quality education.
METHODS
The researchers used a questionnaire checklist. The tool being used was divided into two parts. The first
part contains the profile of the respondents in terms of age and sex. The second part is the test proper
or posttest with 5 item questions.
The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PHIL-IRI) was utilized for pretest and posttest. The
pretest/ posttest design is an experimental design was used to compare the means of two groups. The
pretest is given to the respondent before the REinAct program is conducted. The experimental group
underwent REinAct Program while the control group was taught based on their daily lessons. After the
conduct of the program, the posttest was given. Both pretest and posttest scores were gathered and the
mean was computed.
RESULTS
The findings of this study referring to the data of the respondents' profiles were identified. In terms of
age, the majority of them were 8 years old and below. In terms of sex, the majority of the respondents
were male. And in terms of grade level, most of the respondents were Grade 2 Readers at-risks.
Based on the findings of the study, the researchers determined that majority of the respondents who
have recognized, pronounced and understood unfamiliar words or texts in terms of age was 8 years old
and below, male and Grade 2 level having an interpretation of always with respect to word recognition,
pronunciation, and comprehension in connection to the Extent of Reading Engagement Action
Program.
DISCUSSIONS
This study primarily aimed to assess the effect of the Reading Engagement in Action Program
(REinAct) on the reading performance of the readers- at-risk from grade two (2) section two (2) in
Bugarin Elementary School using the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory or PHIL-IRI and if there
is a significant difference in the level of performance of pupils in control and experimental groups,
therefore, pre-test and posttest designs were used.

Effects of Reading Intervention Strategies for Grade 2 Students at Risk of

Reading Difficulty
Lorna Narciso Vallejo, Palangue Central Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is an essential skill in life and reading intervention can be fundamental for many students to
find success and be better able to achieve in academics. With so many struggling readers with various
reading difficulties, it is essential that teachers not only identify struggling readers but know the best
reading intervention practices. In this research study, it is an effort to find effective practices to
intervene with students who are at-risk of reading disabilities. Achievement in reading can affect success
in every subject area in a child's school day as well as their future success in pursuing a career.
METHODS
A variety of reading intervention strategies seem to be effective for students. Phil IRI Phil was
administered the first week of July and the results revealed that there are 26 non-readers in Grade 2.
Project Always Read and Learn focuses on helping non-readers of Grade. With the supervision of the
Reading warriors, advisers and parents, identified pupils were guided to read using flashcards, DOLCH
Basic Sight words, Abakada and other reading materials from 3:00-4:00 PM daily.
RESULTS
The findings show that 26 non-readers were reduced to 6 after the Reading Program. Those pupils were
able to read and showed a willingness to continue practice reading together with the parents'
involvement. The pupils developed self-confidence and the parents appreciate their children's
improvement. They submitted themselves and actively involved in the Reading Program of the School
and will continue in the next school year. The need for early intervention, its best strategies and how to
most appropriately utilize these strategies in the classroom is research needed to find the most effective
interventions for struggling readers.
DISCUSSIONS
The results have been positive and suggest early intervention can be valuable. Early identification of at-
risk students seems to be an essential part of the intervention process. This reading intervention became
an avenue and opportunity to enhance their reading skills; uproot and resolve the main causes of the
problem. Although using one intervention program for all students does not seem to be the best
answer, it does seem that while some students can benefit greatly, others will see little results. Using a
combination of interventions seems to have the best results. Efforts are still needed to help the
remaining non-readers to recognize simple words and phrases to ensure that they are 100% readers
before the opening of classes next school year.

Effects of Reading Strategies (5 Finger Retell Test and Fluency Check) for
Comprehension of Grade ll to Grade IV Learners of Kabulusan Elementary
School
Elenita Leonzon,Geneve B. Malimban, & Kristine G. Belando, Department of

Education - Cavite
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Every teacher has ultimately the same wish for their students. They want them to not only succeed but
to excel in all areas of life. One of the ways that can facilitate this wish is to give the gift of literacy. In
order to become literate, all children must increase their comprehension of what is being read to them
aloud or what they are reading individually. All students learn comprehension at varying rates and need
different amounts of guidance to increase comprehension. Some students need little to no help
comprehending while others struggle to attend long enough to accurately restate what they have heard
or read. As teachers, we strive to help individual students increase their reading comprehension.
METHODS
The descriptive observational method research design was used in the study. The objective is to
discover the effects of reading strategies for comprehension of Grade II to Grade IV learners of
Kabulusan ES.
RESULTS
It is very encouraging to see that both interventions helped student comprehension skills increase in all
three classroom settings. Students who were given the 5 fingers retell intervention, fluency intervention,
or both interventions at the same time were all able to increase their comprehension rates when listening
or reading stories. These results left us with questions and thoughts about how to improve our
interventions and incorporate them into our regular reading lesson times. In the next school year, we
will detail our action plan of the next steps we would take with this research, and how we would alter
our methods to put it into practice.
DISCUSSIONS
We worked with the students from Grade ll, lll, and IV of Kabulusan Elementary School. Data were
collected to determine the effectiveness of both the 5 fingers retell and fluency check strategies that
were implemented during our six-week study to improve reading comprehension. Following the six-
week study period, data analysis indicated that student reading comprehension increased in all study
groups. As a result of the findings of this Research Project, we will continue to implement both the 5
fingers retell and fluency check strategies in our classrooms.
Through our investigation, we found it helpful to document each student's score every week so we
could look for patterns and pinpoint specific students who were struggling in the same area each week.
By doing so, we could teach to each particular student the weakness they may have had so they were
successful in using the 5 fingers retell.

Effects of Reading Strategies to the Comprehension Skills of Grade 11

Students of Tabaco National High School
Jessamine Bonde, SDO Tabaco
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study determined the effect of reading strategies to the reading comprehension skills in English of
Grade 11 students of Tabaco National High School. The level of reading comprehension skills of the
control and experimental groups were tested in the pre-test and post-test along summarizing, inferring
and predicting outcomes. A significant difference in the performance between the control and
experimental groups in the pre-test and post-test were tested.
METHODS
This study employed the experimental method of research. The researcher used the pre-test post-test
designed as a tool in data gathering. The subject of the study were the two groups of students with
thirty-three (33) per group. The test is composed of thirty (30) items and distributed equally among the
three variables of the study. The performance level of the control and experimental groups were
determined by getting the mean of the scores and percentage. To test the significant difference in the
performance of the two groups in the pre-test and post-test, a t-test was utilized.
RESULTS
Results showed that the control group obtained a mean score of 13.79 with a 45.97% performance level
while the experimental group got 13.27 mean score and a performance level of 44.23%. The variances
were 2.74 and 1.32 for the control group and experimental group respectively. The data obtained at-
value of 1.48 which is less than the t-critical value of 1.69 at 0.05 level of significance. This means that
there is no significant difference in the performance of the two groups in reading.
After the intervention was given, the post-test was administered. The result showed that the control
group obtained a mean score of 23.31 with 77.70% performance level while the experimental group got
28.57 mean score having a performance level of 88.57%. The variances were at 2.89 and 3.24 for control
and experimental group respectively. The data arrived at a t-value of 7.58 which is higher than the t-
critical value of 1.69 at
0.05 level of significance. This means that there is a significant difference in the performance of the two
groups in reading. The intervention provided is effective in improving the reading comprehension skills
of the students.
DISCUSSIONS
The school and teachers should come up with effective reading programs that will help students
improve their reading skills. These projects may come as a remediation, peer tutoring and take-home
reading activities. With these students will regain their love for reading and will improve their
comprehension.

Effects of School-Based Feeding Program on the Performance of Pupils in

Selected Public Elementary School in the District of Binangonan II
Lilibeth Quisquino, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Education is a very important tool for everyone to succeed in life and get something different. It helps a
lot in lessening the challenges of a difficult life. Knowledge gained throughout the education period
enables each and every individual confident about their life. It opens various doors to the opportunities
of achieving better prospects in life so promotes career growth. Better education is very necessary for all
to go ahead in life and achieve success. It develops confidence and helps to build the personality of a
person. School education plays a great role in everyone's life.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research utilizing test questions was used in the study. Descriptive research
involves the description, recording, analysis and interpretation of the present nature, composition or
processes of phenomena which focuses on prevailing conditions, or how a person, group or thing
behaves or functions in the present. It often involves some type of comparison or contrast.
RESULTS
The teachers and pupils’ perceptions are interpreted as always manifested which means that they
perceive positive effects. The teacher's perception among the aspects are as follows; participation in
school activities, task achievements, pupils' motivation while for the pupils, task achievements and
participation in school activities are on top, followed by pupils' motivation. As to academic
performance, most of the pupils fall in the grade range of 80-84, interpreted as Satisfactory. Lastly, the
hypothesis on the significant relationship between the extent of the effects of school-based feeding
program and the pupils' academic performance is accepted across all aspects
DISCUSSIONS
Almost all personal characteristics are not determinants of teachers' perception of the level of
effectiveness of the feeding program on the learning performance of the pupils however the length of
service is determinant since the teacher's lengthy stay on the service makes them experts on different
tasks and students’ output. Most of the personal characteristics of pupils do not have a bearing on their
perceived effects of feeding program on their level of performance however their age has bearing
because the older pupils are more responsible than the younger when they are given tasks. The feeding
program has no direct bearing on the academic performance of the pupils.

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, San Jose NHS, Priscilla V. Jose, Rod1A District, &
Leandro D. Matocinos, San Jose Litex SHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Despite government and international organizations' efforts to implement School-based Management
(SBM) to decentralize decision-making empowering teachers, parents, and communities to be
responsible for the development and learning of their children. Throughout these years of
implementation still, schools are facing challenges like inefficient reporting system, lacking proper
program documentation, weak community-initiated projects, less decision-making involvement and
evaluations, inefficient annual development plans and property inventories of all resources, poor
monitoring and evaluation, and less faculty support. Hence, the online reporting system is the call of the
time to address these quick changes and demands conceptualizing the SBM Online Management System
(SBMORS) and having it implemented.
METHODS
This study utilized a qualitative descriptive method by knowing the effect of SBMORS on efficiency as
perceived by teachers and its effect on the SBM level of practice as assessed by the School Division
Office. Whereas, the researcher through the SBM team took advantage of Google Forms and Drives to
facilitate the online reporting system. This is in tandem with the 6-hour teaching and 2 hours other
teaching-related functions of teachers as stipulated in Magna Carta of Public-School Teachers, Civil
Service Memorandum and Department of Education orders. Thus, to facilitative the monitoring and
retrieval of reports, SBMORS was utilized.
RESULTS
After two (2) years of SBMORS implementation, the researchers found that there was a positive effect
on efficiency having an average of 3.93 as teachers' perception. Moreover, in terms of the SBM level of
practice, it was found that there was a positive increase of 0.75 yielding to a recent rating of 1.95 as
measured by SDO Rizal, making SJNHS categorized as Maturing Level (Level II).
DISCUSSIONS
In addition, this positive increase yielded to other school benchmarking of SBM best practice, Gawad
Patnugot Division 2nd Best SBM implementer and PBB category as a BETTER school. Thus,
SBMORS is an effective intervention to promote system efficiency.

Effects of Shifting of Classes on the Academic Performance of Grade Six

Learners in San Antonio Elementary School: Basis for Intervention Program
Emelda Malolos, Mary Jane Quimsing, & Mechel Negrite, Department of

Education - Batangas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Education is really important in every child's life thus the Department of Education -rdered public
schools to accept all the enrollees of all ages to adhere to the government policy "Education for All".
Increased enrollment equals to classroom shortage. To avert classroom shortage and accommodate all
the enrollees the school decided to implement class shifting, thus the researchers studied the effects of
class shifting to the academic performance of each learner in the higher level of Elementary education.
The researchers noticed the effects of class shifting in terms of individual performance, competition and
selection of honors. In this study, the researchers also witnessed the different strategies, preparation of
instructional materials, and teaching styles that are suited to the learners and well- established leadership
in the implementation of the shifting of classes.
METHODS
This research employed a quantitative method. It involved the collection of data based on the result of
the First to Third Grading Period. The researchers used purposive sampling which is to study a
particular group of learners that will test the validation of the research. The researchers gathered the
data through individual report card, list of current and previous winning competition, and record of
honor pupils from previous grade year level to determine the changes.
RESULTS
The researchers defined the difficulties encountered by teachers such as 1.) Performance of each learner
based on the Individual Report Card 2.) Competition 3.) Selection of honors. The researchers compared
the individual report card to the School Form 5 if there is a disparity in relation to grades. In rapports of
competition, the school performed less this year. In the selection of honors, the researchers observed
the last year grades of the top ten pupils and matched it on the current year, some of them hard to attain
the set grades of high honors. This means that Class Shifting significantly affects the academic
performance of Grade Six learners.
DISCUSSIONS
The results display absolute effects. The researchers give some of the following intervention programs
such as; a.) Study habit program b.) Intensive communication to parents c.) Remedial teaching of
floating teachers d.) Pupils' training and workshop e.) Forming school clubs f.) More SLAC training for
teachers g.) Time management and priority setting, and h.) Applying all pedagogical approaches, it is to
help teachers and pupils to achieve better academic performance while undergoing class shifting.

Effects of Singapore's Model Method on the Mathematical Problem-Solving

Skills of Select Grade 3 Students in Sico Elementary School, Division of
Lipa City, S.Y. 2017-2018
Jelly Baroja, Sico ES/Division of Lipa City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Word problem-solving is an area of difficulty and frustration for a considerable number of students. It is
a challenging area for those students performing low in Mathematics. In response, teachers are finding
ways to make word problem-solving easier by trying out new techniques and teaching methods which
would make students interested and engaged. In this regard, there are plenty of teaching methods and
strategies that the teachers could use like Singapore's Model Method, also known as "bar modeling". In
this study, the researcher exposed and examined the effects of Singapore's Model Method on the
mathematical problem-solving skills of select students.
METHODS
A descriptive-quantitative research design was used. The respondents were selected purposely. Twelve
grade 3 students in Sico Elementary School, S.Y. 2017-2018 who performed below grade-level
expectations in Mathematics were the respondents. A 40-item researcher- made pre-test was given to
measure the problem-solving skills of the respondents. A researcher-designed teaching intervention was
delivered to address the needs of the respondents. A post-test was given after the intervention to
measure the effectiveness of bar modeling. The data collected were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted
using selected statistical tools.
RESULTS
Based on the data collected, Singapore's Model Method provided students a more concrete method in
comprehending and solving word problems to surpass their language difficulties. By drawing out what
they have read, they created a concrete visual application of the problem. This helped them to
manipulate the numbers more effectively. There is a 7.16 increase in the test mean from 11.92 in the
pre-test to 19.08 during the post-test. Additionally, the pre-test MPS is 29.79 while the post-test MPS is
47.71. The results marked an increase of 60.07% and 60.15% in the mean and MPS respectively. Thus,
the researcher proved that Singapore's Model Method is an effective strategy in increasing elementary
students' comprehension and ability to use cognitive strategies in solving math word problems.
DISCUSSIONS
The results verified previous researches on Singapore's Model Method. Moreover, this study provides
evidence that bar modeling is also effective outside of the Singaporean education system, with children
who have never used the method previously. To sum up, all these data and analysis obviously display us
that Singapore's Model Method has a positive effect on student's mathematical problem-solving skills.

Effects of Special Program in the Arts Dance on Social Learning Behavior

of High School Students
Sally Ibarra
(Adviser: Nelly Bien)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Recognizing the need to develop the potential of artistically inclined students, the Department of
Education -aunched the Special Program in the Arts (SPA) in the year 2000. The Implementing
Guidelines for the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 described this program as "Programs for the
Gifted and Talented". This study determined the effects of the SPA- Dance on the students' social
learning behaviors involving self, family, peers, and school.
METHODS
This descriptive research utilized the quantitative-qualitative type of investigation involving 10 Grade 8
students of the SPA- Dance 10 Grade 8 for the School Year 2016-2017 applying enumeration sampling
technique. The researcher personally administered the researcher-made questionnaire-checklist
comprised of social learning behavior concerning self, family, friends/peers and school, utilizing a four-
point Likert scale consisted of: always (4), often (3), sometimes (2), and not at all (1).
RESULTS
The students' social learning behavior prior to enrolment in the SPA-Dance indicated an often practice
of the majority of all parameters. Significantly, the family was ranked the highest among the four (4)
parameters. However, self was rated the lowest. After two years in the SPA Class, students' social
learning behavior towards self, family, friends/peers and school was rated often in which the family was
ranked first, followed by school, self and friends being the least. The low result involving friends/peers
implied that SPA students have shown less friend dependency.
DISCUSSIONS
From the data and findings gathered, it can be concluded that the students of SPA - Dance are
individuals who possess healthy and positive social behavior even before they were enrolled in the
program. With the program, their positive traits were enhanced. However, there are still some areas that
can be improved. This can be done through a Leadership Enrichment Training Program (LETP) that
can be may be recommended as an intervention to improve the weaknesses, and enhance the strengths
of the students of SPA-Dance.

Vima Atienza
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Sports play an important role in educating students as it teaches them to become strong from inside and
also develop a fit and sound body. Day to day practice in sports can help students imbibe leadership
skills. Qualities like tolerance, patience, and tips to handle pressure are well taught by sports. When
pupils are physically fit, they will achieve more academically. It develops as the use of friendliness
among children and develops their spirit. Sports help children mental and physical toughness. It also
improves blood circulation and their physical wellbeing.
METHODS
The researcher used the Physical Fitness Test in identifying the pupils who are inclined to sports. The
teacher motivates all the athlete by giving words of encouragement to achieve our target through
persistence, patience, and good attitude towards sports. Constant practice makes perfect and with the
help of the parents, we hit the target. Physical benefits among wellbeing can help improve pupil’s
performance.
RESULTS
Based on the initiative of the parents and sports enthusiast we join the STCAA to represent or school in
football and track and field events. The data shows that playing sports can motivate and help pupils with
their confidence as they engage in friendly competition from new friends with a new group of children.
Sports and Physical Education are the best for children to have a healthy lifestyle.
DISCUSSIONS
Football or soccer is a team sport played with a spherical ball between two teams of eleven players,
wherein the year 2016- 2017 our players in Banjo Laurel Elementary School Compete in STCAA. With
this regard, in sports practice is important to develop skills and habits that will translate into a great
performance so our pupils did.

Effects of Statistical Software Package on the Knowledge Retention of

Fourth Year Students in Statistics
Richard Tuala, Department of Education, Siniloan Integrated NHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is now considered part of everyday living. It started
when educators realized its importance in classroom settings. Thus, most of the teachers these days
make an effort to utilize ICT as a medium to facilitate learning. This study assessed the effect of
Statistical Software Package on students' knowledge retention in Statistics. Likewise, the respondents'
learning habits and attitudes towards Statistics; the use and extent of difficulties in using Statistical
Software Packages were also considered.
METHODS
The study utilized the descriptive correlational method of research. The respondents of this study were
determined through the universal sampling technique. The researcher used the questionnaire method to
gather information from the respondents. It was supplemented by documents to assess the respondent's
performance during the class and after a year as they finish the course and unstructured interview for
more in-depth analysis. The following statistical tools were used to analyze the gathered data: frequency,
percentage, rank, weighted mean, descriptive measure, and Spearman Rank Correlation.
RESULTS
Almost all of the respondents understand their responsibility and aware of their tasks in the course and
ensure that they are able to accomplish it on the allotted time given but they have the anxiety of the
subject that hinders them in acquiring the full details of the lesson tackled. And still, they bear
confidence in doing the subject and show eagerness in learning Statistics. Moreover, the students were
at a certain extent of difficulty in performing varied statistical computations using a statistical software
package even though they are the 21st-century learner and known to be computer natives. Likewise, the
respondents manifest poor knowledge retention in Statistics. However, their poor knowledge retention
in Statistics could not be associated with the utilization of statistical software packages and even in their
difficulties of using it.
DISCUSSIONS
The results establish that the respondents' level of knowledge retention was not related to the use of
Statistical Software Package. Furthermore, self-eagerness to learn or personal motivation may consider
in order for them to realize the importance of the subject which may lead to the essence of learning. No
matter how advanced the technology, Statistics or even other disciplines still requires a unique teaching
methodology to help each student grasp its concepts easily.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The National Statistics Office reported that mental health illness is the most common form of disability
in our country. The record also shows that the youth has a high number of cases of mental health. On
June 21, 2018, President Rodrigo Duterte has signed the Republic Act 11036 or the mental health law
which would provide affordable and accessible services for the Filipinos. As the day goes by, it is not
rare for the adolescence students to be involved and experienced the stress which happened to be
common on this generation. The Southville 1 Integrated National High Students especially the G12
students are also involved in these current issues. In this study, we explored the stress level of G12
student's related to their academic performance.
METHODS
A causal method design was used to determine the effect of stress on the academic performance of
Grade 12 students. To determine the respondents of the study, Slovin's formula and stratified random
sampling were used. Out of 190 Grade 12 students, 130 were selected as the respondents of the study.
The researchers used a survey questionnaire consists of 2 parts: stress level and level of academic
performance. Weighted mean was also used to determine the stress level of the Grade 12 students while
Chi-square was used to determine the effect of stress on their academic performance.
RESULTS
The stress level of G12 students in terms of acute, episodic acute and chronic stress has an
interpretation of "high extent". As for acute and chronic stress, there is a significant effect on class
performance. While episodic acute stress, there is a significant effect on attendance and class
performance. Therefore, stress has a significant effect on the academic performance of Grade 12
students. The study also revealed that the H.E students experienced stress in doing projects, recitation
and taking quizzes. While for the GAS students, they experienced stress in concentrating a single lesson,
when they don't meet the expectations and they are not good at speaking English. Meanwhile, the EIM
students admit that they don't feel stress in Science subjects and for the STEM students they were not
easily irritated when they find difficulties in English/Filipino subjects.
DISCUSSIONS
The results imply that stress affects the academic performance of Grade 12 students. The researchers
made an infographic brochure to raise awareness on how to manage the different stress experienced by
the students.

Effects of Teacher's Teaching Style on Students' Motivation and Responses

in Learning K-12 Science Curriculum
Jennylyn Micosa, Tanauan North Central School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The success in the development of learning in the classroom depends largely on the teachers' factors
which mainly involved varied strategies, instructional materials, and motivation styles. Even though
there's a lot of factors' affecting learning it has been geared towards the effect of teacher's motivating
style. The researcher comes into realization this kind of study that will surely help the teaching and
learning process in the K-12 science curriculum.
METHODS
A descriptive-survey method of research was used. The researcher used questionnaires, observations,
interviews, students' class work and other student outputs for this study.
RESULTS
The study revealed that there were lots of motivating factors that can effectively motivate them in
learning science like for example; Attitude of the science teacher itself as well as of the pupils as well, the
eagerness on participating is another type, homework and assignments can be a motivating factor as
well, and lastly the grades that can be a reward system equivalent to their work.
DISCUSSIONS
The pupils were greatly affected by the teachers teaching methods. Teachers will not dominate the
learning experience instead it will effectively augment learning through their varied strategies, motivation
skills for learning modern Science concepts and skills through the pleasure resulting from mastery of the
subject.

Effects of Text Messaging to the Spelling Ability of Grade 7 and 8 Students

at Sampiro Integrated Senior High School
Glen Bert S. Arellano, Jenny S. Morales, & Karren G. Garcia, Sampiro Integrated
Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Texting adds to peoples' laziness when it comes to writing. It's an alarming fact that the popularity of
text messaging among students has become increasingly marked. The researchers discovered that text
messaging really affects the spelling skills of the students in making simple sentences correctly by using
the shorthand method of writing.
METHODS
In determining the effects of text messaging on the spelling ability of the respondents, the quantitative
research design was used to form a questionnaire. By using the Rao soft formula, the researchers come
up with a total number of 148 respondents. In the three (3) sections of Grade 7, the researchers got 78
respondents and 70 from the two (2) sections of Grade 8. In connection with the descriptive method, a
survey questionnaire and wordbook were used to determine the effects of text messaging on the spelling
ability of Grade 7 and 8 students at Sampiro Integrated Senior High School.
RESULTS
Out of 148 respondents, the researchers found out that aged 12-13 years old are the premier users of
mobile phones for the reason that it became their habit and served as their happy pills. Most of them
are using a mobile phone within 7-8 hours. As a result, when the researchers got the weighted average
of the respondents in English in the first semester, most of them got a weighted average of 73-76,
meaning they indeed took longer time in using their cellphones. Simply texting their family/ loved ones
and listening to music are their foremost reason for using a mobile phone. The researchers found out
that text messaging has a really negative effect on the student's writing skills for they are always using
the short-hand method in writing and it resulted in poor spelling ability.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the calculated result, the use of cellular phones affects student's spelling and grammar
proficiency negatively, as evident from their usage of abbreviated words. Text language often confuse
the learners to write the correct spelling of the words leading to usually misspelled words, produced
worse assignments and incorrect usage of subject-verb agreement.

INTRODUCTION
The problem addressed in this study was the positive effects of technology integration in teaching
mathematical concepts and in attitudes and learning of the students.
The effect of technology on students' interest in learning the mathematics of Grade-10 Talisay was
investigated. Pre and post-student assessment surveys, the student has written comments, and teacher
observations were used to record changes for learning mathematics during the first quarter of the school
year 2017-2018.
METHODS
The research is based on the survey questionnaire design. This survey is used to establish opinions of
respondents about a particular issue on the effect of integration of technology in teaching and learning
mathematical concepts.
One of the sections of the Grade 10 class of GFLMNHS was respondents in this study. They
composed of 46 students from G- 10 Talisay class. This section was handled by the researcher and at
the same time his advisory class. This section was divided into two sets of categories. The first set was
composed of students without the integration of technology in teaching and learning math during the
first rating period of chapter1. The second set was composed of the same students with the integration
of technology in teaching and learning Math with the same rating period in the next chapter. To gather
pertinent data, the researcher used questionnaire, observation, and interview on how the technology
integration affected their learning.
RESULTS
Comparisons between the Pre and Post results based on the implementation of numeracy assessment
tool with an integration of technology in teaching math and without the integration of technology.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the effect of teaching that involved the integration of technology and without
the integration of technology with regards to the learning outcomes of the learners. Multiple activities,
games, and puzzles were required for the success of the innovation designed.

Public Elementary and Secondary Schools, the Department of Education -aunched the Department of
Education Order No. 8, series of 2007. The primary purpose of the program is for the school canteen
to help eliminate malnutrition among pupils/students besides the program's intention of using the
school canteen as a venue for the development of desirable eating habits of pupils/students.
METHODS
This study employed a combination of the descriptive methods of research to determine the level of
mastery of Hands-on Skills and level of Health Awareness as affected by the laboratory canteen
management practices. Responses of the respondents were gathered, tabulated, and interpreted using
appropriate statistical tools. Respondents were one hundred fifty (150) third-year students (64 male and
86 female) of San Antonio National High School, San Antonio, Quezon.
RESULTS
The study found out that the mean perception of the respondents in laboratory school canteen facilities
yielded a composite mean of
4.0. Among the hand - on - skills of the students, indicator number one got the highest weighted mean
of 4.2 wherein it ensures the full participation of the students in planning, purchasing, handling, and
preparation of safe and nutritious foods. The perception of the students regarding health awareness was
interpreted as aware. And regarding health awareness of the students, understands the value of proper
hygiene.
DISCUSSIONS
TLE teachers should provide extra activities (video presentations and actual observations) that will
improve the hands-on skills and upgrade the level of health awareness of the students. There should be
regular and rigid monitoring of the laboratory canteen by the supervisors from the division office and
local health officers to ensure that the operation is in accordance with the existing rules and regulations
of laboratory canteen operations.

Effects of the School Facilities on the Behavior and Academic Performance

of the Intermediate Pupils in Doña Maria Laurel Platon Memorial School
Conchita Laurel, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Citizens who care about the achievement of the students in school expect safe and healthy school
facilities which are important factors to quality education. Careful planning and decision-making must be
conducted when integrating safety and health for an effective school design, maintenance of old school
facilities, and construction of new ones to ensure a conducive learning environment.
METHODS
The Descriptive Method of research was utilized by the researcher to record the responses of the
respondents using questionnaires as the primary tool for gathering data. The respondents of the study
were pupils from the intermediate level with grades ranking from average to below average level. The
results of the GWA were gathered through their Form138 for the School Year 2016-2017 and the
succeeding School Year 2017-2018.
RESULTS
Quantitative data showed a significant relationship between the academic performance of the
respondents as shown in their Form 138 for the School Year 2017-2018 with variables such as canteen,
classroom, reading corner, ICT laboratory, covered court, ground landscaping, and comfort room. The
positive behaviors of the respondents as well as academic performance correlates with the improvement
of the school facilities at Doña Maria Laurel Platon Memorial School.
DISCUSSIONS
Given that Department of Education is the primary provider of school facilities, internal and external
stakeholders should also actively participate in designing a safe and healthy environment conducive to
learning. The importance of school environments is substantial evidence that it could be difficult for
students to make an effort to concentrate their attention on developing academic patterns and digesting
the academic materials which are being presented without meeting basic needs.

Effects of the Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) on the Academic

Achievement in Science of Grade 5 Pupils in Senator Maria Kalaw Katigbak
Memorial School
Marie Antonette Fabaliña
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
"Rich countries are science-rich and poor countries are science-poor.” This statement was made by Dr.
Frank Tui, the companion of Senator Emmanuel Pelaez, the author of the Science Act of 1958. It is a
truism that children are the most precious gifts from heaven. These young people deserve careful
attention. The Philippine government is primarily concerned with the enhancement of science
education. Most of pupils get low scores in their quizzes and summative tests. These results urged the
researcher to find ways to improve the quality of instruction of Science through the utilization of SIM
and assess its effectiveness. Study on this subject calls for active participation of the students in learning
the concepts and principles of Science specifically those least mastered skills. The inductive techniques
through hands-on activities lead to a deeper understanding of the subject matter. The researcher found
the study to be very relevant in uplifting the learning competency level of the pupils in the subject. The
need for a functional intervention in Science specifically in grade five seems to be more urgent now due
to the current thrust of the government on quality education.
METHODS
There were 60 respondents who were from two intact sections serving as the experimental and control
groups. The experimental group utilized strategic intervention material while control group was exposed
to traditional approach of teaching. A Pre- Test was taken by the respondents to acquire the information
to be compared. The researcher subsequently conducted classes with the respondents utilizing strategic
intervention material for the experimental group while the traditional approach was utilized for the
control group tackling the determined least-mastered skills.
RESULTS
Grade five pupils of School Year 2016- 2017 performed poorly in the least-mastered skills in Science
and Health. Pupils performed better after the teacher had utilized strategic intervention material. The
conventional approach can also help improve the academic performance of pupils in Science and
Health.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results of the study, the use of strategic intervention materials in attaining high
performance of pupils in science 5 is very effective. The researcher was encouraged to continue using
and developing other strategic intervention materials to enhance her pupils' performance while achieving
the mastery level of competencies of poor/slow learners.

Effects of the Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM) of Academic

Achievement in Mathematics of Grade 6 Pupils in Bagumbayan Elementary
School
Maria Linda Opulencia
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The K-12 basic education aims to erase the poor academic achievement of students in the different
subject areas. However, different assessments, especially in Math, still show poor performance among
pupils. This implies that there is a missing ingredient in teaching and handling Math lessons. The low
performance was due to the ineffectiveness and incongruity of teaching strategies and instructional
materials employed in teaching the lesson. Several teaching strategies and instructional materials were
utilized to meet the learning style and needs of the students. The researcher introduced Strategic
Intervention Materials (SIM) as strategy in teaching Math lessons. Strategic Intervention Materials are
instructional materials meant to teach concepts and skills. Materials are given to students to help them
master a competency-based skill which they were not able to develop during regular classroom
instruction.
METHODS
The study made use of quasi-experimental design which is a non-equivalent control group pretest-
posttest design. Non-equivalent design is a good design when you have access to one experimental
group (Vockel 2014). This design was used by the researcher because the subjects of the students were
an intact group of Grade Six Math class pupils in Bagumbayan Elementary School. The study confirms
the effectiveness of using Strategic Intervention Materials in Math and inspiring educators to promote
utilization of Strategic Intervention Materials in teaching.
RESULTS
Competency level of pupils in pre-test showed significant difference after using Strategic Intervention
Materials-based strategies in teaching. Researcher identified the least-mastered skill in Math 6 is
Subtraction of Simple Fractions and Mixed Numbers with Regrouping. Proposed action plan presented
the objectives to be achieved with various activities that could enhance the performance of Grade Six
pupils in Math.
DISCUSSIONS
The result demonstrates the use of pre-test and post-test in assessing the performance of the pupils. The
better performance is attributed to the utilization of SIM that made students gain significantly learning
and improving their performance.

Effects of Using Computer-Based Electronic Games (E-Games) in

Mathematics Instruction as Correlates in the Academic Performance of
Grade 8 Students in Kaylaway National High School
Katherine Sobrepeña, Department of Education - Kaylaway National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the greatest challenges facing educators today is engaging a wide and diverse group of students.
Electronic games or E-games offer a medium for students to explore and evaluate information in a fun
and interactive way particularly in Mathematics. Learning Mathematics presents various challenges for
many children. Electronic games have the potential of addressing these challenges. E-games have been
widely used to promote children's Mathematics achievement in various domains including problem-
solving and algebra skills, strategic and reasoning abilities, critical geometry skills, and arithmetic
procedures (Moreno & Duran, 2014).
METHODS
This study utilized experimental design specifically the Pretest Posttest Research Design. The study
involved the Grade 8 students of Kaylaway National High School. The researcher constructed a 50-item
multiple choice test based on a table of specification. The test was conducted to Grade 8 students. After
the administration of the test, it was item analyzed. This will determined the discrimination power and
the index of difficulty of the test item.
RESULTS
The performance of the two groups of respondents based on their pretest score were almost the same.
Most of the respondents got failing scores in their pretest. The two respondents improved their level of
performance during the posttest. However, the experimental group improved better than the control
group after using the E-games in their lesson in Mathematics. There is a significant difference between
the performances of the two groups as to the results of their pretest and posttest. There is a significant
difference in the post-test performance of the two groups of respondents. The design reinforcement
program is prepared by the researcher to enhance the academic performance of students in Mathematics
using E-games.
DISCUSSIONS
Mathematics teachers should adapt the importance of using electronic games nowadays for the
improvement of their teaching performance and for the enhancement of learning process among their
students. Teachers teaching Mathematics are encouraged to make more electronic games for them to use
in their daily teaching of Mathematics. Teachers should adapt and reinforce electronic games. Similar
studies should be conducted on the use of electronic games to further strengthen the findings of the
study. The reinforcement program should be implemented to help students improve their performance
in Mathematics using electronic games.

Effects of Using Intrinsic Motivation in Improving the Grade Five Pupils'

Achievement in Gaudencio B. Lontok Memorial School
Raquel Medrano
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Learning how to solve problems in mathematics is knowing what to look for. Math problems often
require established procedures and knowing what procedure to apply. To create procedures, you have to
be familiar with the problem situation and be able to collect the appropriate information, identify a
strategy or strategies, and use the strategy appropriately.
Problem-solving requires practice. When deciding on methods or procedures to use to solve problems,
the first thing you will do is look for clues which is one of the most important skills in solving problems
in Mathematics. If you begin to solve problems by looking for clue words, you will find that these words
often indicate an operation.
METHODS
The researcher used the descriptive method. Perhaps their superficial similarities have obscured their
difference. Each of them employs the process of disciplined inquiry through the gathering and analysis
of empirical data, and each attempts to develop knowledge. To be done competently, each requires the
expertise of the careful and systematic investigator. This research design is the most suitable research
method to employ so as to assess the usage of intrinsic motivation strategy and level of achievement and
at the same time determine if significant relationship will exists between the variables.
RESULTS
There are 15 pupils who attained average scores or 60% of the respondents. There are 9 pupils who
attained below average scores or 36% of the respondents. It can be inferred that their academic
achievement has a composite mean of 80.56 and a verbal interpretation of average level. The
achievement level is 80.5600 with a standard deviation of 2.91662 and standard error mean of .58332.
The motivation level is 2.6350 with a standard deviation of .76806 and standard error mean of .2488.
DISCUSSIONS
The performance level of the respondents is low. Results prove that there are pupils who really love to
work on their activities while some do not. The achievement level of the respondents is proficient. They
performed well to get hold of those grades and passed the subjects for the whole school year. Using
motivational techniques in class and the achievement level itself have no correlation. It deals only on
how the pupils commit with the subject. An action plan was proposed to increase pupils' academic
achievement in class and decrease their negative attitude toward the subject. It is not only a teacher-
centered proposal but student-centered as well.

Effects of Using Modules in the Performance of Grade 7 Technology and

Livelihood Education (TLE) Students in Jose Lopez Manzano National
High School in Tuy, Batangas
Roselle Rivera, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Technology and Livelihood Education is one of the learning areas of the K to 12 curriculum used in the
Philippine secondary schools. It focused on the learning of some livelihood skills so that the students
may be equipped to start household enterprise with family members. Using media, facilities, equipment,
as well as the interest of the students in the integration of technological devices will help them to be
equipped with the knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and appreciation that will make them
effective and efficient.
METHODS
This study utilized the experimental design specifically the Pretest Posttest Controlled Research Design.
The respondents of the study were the twenty-five (25) controlled group and twenty-five (25)
experimental group. The two groups of respondents were chosen carefully through randomization
procedure from the population of Grade 7 students of Jose Lopez Manzano National High school based
on the said criteria of the researcher.
RESULTS
The major findings of this research are the following: (1) Most of the respondents were on their required
age level, equal distribution of male and female and grades in the first grading period were utilized in this
study; (2) initially, the groups reveal a more or less the same information of the topics as shown in the
pre-test performance. They performed "better" in the post-test after they underwent the teaching-
learning process; (3) there was significant difference in the post-test performance of the two groups
showed that not every change is effective; (4) there was significant difference in the post-test
performance of the experimental group when they are grouped according to their profile variables; and
(5) the proposed reinforcement program was designed by the researcher to enhance the performance of
the students in TLE.
DISCUSSIONS
The modules should be used by teachers teaching the same subject to the student whether they are male
or female, young or old. Teachers are encouraged to develop with their own modules in TLE and fit
them to the maturity of their students. Similar studies should be conducted on the use of the modules to
further strengthen the findings. Teachers teaching TLE particularly Cookery are encouraged to make
modules other than the topics in the study. These provide varied learning experience and make teaching
and learning enjoyable, interesting and also serve as reinforcement to the lesson. Implementation of the
proposed reinforcement program designed by the researcher to enhance the performance of students in
TLE is highly recommended.

Effects of Using Multimedia in Teaching Filipino Subjects in Selected

Public Secondary Schools in San Juan District
Imelda Amazona
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Our society has entered the era that is far beyond the traditional way of living. In our endeavor to face
different challenges caused by the never ending changes driven by technology, a high quality of
education will still be the answer to cope with these changes and to attain success and development that
every individual dreams for the future. In education, we believe that no teaching material can replace a
good teacher, but it cannot be denied that a good teacher uses appropriate teaching materials for
effective teaching-learning process. In this study, the researcher wants to know the effects of using
multimedia in teaching Filipino.
METHODS
This study is a Qualitative-Descriptive Research. Forty-one teachers teaching Filipino in selected public
secondary schools in San Juan district participated in this study as respondents. The questionnaire has
three parts. The first part is about the kind of multimedia the respondents are using in teaching Filipino.
The second part is the perceptions of the respondents in using multimedia in teaching Filipino. And the
third part are the effects of using multimedia in teaching Filipino.
RESULTS
The results of the study showed that most of the respondents were using multimedia. In the effects of
using multimedia in teaching Filipino, it showed that: In motivation, all the indicators were rated “Agree’
by the respondents except indicator no. 5. The ability of the students were evaluated by getting the
lowest weighted mean. In Discussion, the study showed that all the indicators were rated “Agree” by the
respondents. In Evaluation, all the indicators were rated “Agree” by the respondents except items no. 1.
The students can freely give conclusions and no. 6 ability, measured based on mind alertness, got the
lowest weighted mean. It also showed that there was no significant relationship between the perceptions
of the respondents and effects of the use of multimedia based on motivation— also based in discussion
and evaluation.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of this study demonstrates that teachers teaching Filipino must continue employing
multimedia in instruction. The experienced teachers must learn how to use multimedia and be
innovative enough to cope with the advancements in education. School administrators must make
effective and comprehensive plans that will be implemented in school. The San Juan local government,
as well as the Department of Education, must allot enough budget to be used in the effective teaching
aids that will be used in public schools.

Effects of Utilizing Science Videos in Teaching Grade 3 - Mapagbigay

using MTB-MLE as Medium: Inputs to Increase the Mastery Level of
Learners
Mylene Caparas, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Many pupils in the elementary level have a short span of interest. They listen for a while but, as the class
discussion goes on, their interest is diverted to other things such as talking to a seatmate, sketching on
their notebooks, looking outside the window and the likes. The traditional way of presenting the lesson
contributes to the boredom of children which results in low performance in class (Hobbs, 2006).
In order to solve this problem, the Department of Education is now improving the quality of education
among primary grades through Department of Education Order 74, dated July 2009 which states
"Institutionalized Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education as a fundamental educational policy and
program" that will promote better learning capabilities of pupils to further understand the lessons
through video presentations. This study focuses on the great effects of multimedia to the lives of the
learners.
METHODS
This study will focus on the effects of utilizing Science video in teaching Grade 3 - Mapagbigay using
MTB-MLE as medium to increase the mastery level of learners for the school year 2016-2017. It is
composed of 40 pupils facilitated by the researcher. Pre-test was given to the pupils before any Science
video was used, after which, the lessons were discussed. Post-test followed. T-test or one-paired sample
was used to determine the significant difference.
RESULTS
The following are the results of the study: (1) The pre-test result was very low as indicated by a mean
score of 3.225; (2) there was a huge increase in the result of the post-test having a mean score of
15.6750; (3) there is a significant difference in the pre-test and post test results as evidenced in the
computed t-value of 18.005; and (4) the Science video intervention material used by the researcher was
found effective in increasing the mastery level of pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
Pre-test scores has a very low mean of 3.2250 as compared to post test scores which has a mean of
15.6750. Likewise, standard deviation has a higher rate in the post test than the pre-test. It only implies
that the use of Science videos in presenting the lesson contribute to better learning of pupils and can
increase their mastery level. There is a significant difference in the result of pre-test and post-test scores
of the pupils since the p-value is .000 at t-value of 18.005. There is a great difference in the mean scores
of the learners. Perhaps using the Science video increases the interest and enthusiasm of the learners.

Effects of Video Clips on the Grade III Pupils' Academic Performance in

Science of Bolo Elementary School: A Basis for a Media- Based Teaching
and Learning Model
Merly Martinez, Department of Education - Bauan West District
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The streamlining of the Science subject displays the need to explore other teaching approaches that
would enhance and facilitate understanding and acquisition of Science concepts. It is also necessary to
put into consideration that all aspects of the school are centered to the pupils, not on the teaching style
preference of the teachers but of the clientele. It is then perceived that the teaching method employed
by the teachers in the field may not be appropriate to the teaching style preference on these digital native
learners. This study investigates the effects of the video clips’ integration to the academic achievement in
Science of Grade 3 pupils of Bolo Elementary School.
METHODS
This study used Non-Equivalence Posttest Quasi-Experimental Design. In the Non-Equivalence
Posttest Design, the experimental group taught using the conventional method of teaching with
integration of video clips as instructional strategy. The control group was taught using conventional
method of teaching without integration of video clips. The two groups recited in their classes at the
same time with the same lessons taught. A researcher-designed achievement test was administered in
both groups after recital of their classes. The appropriate statistical tools were used to treat the data for
analysis
RESULTS
The statistical results of the pre and posttest of the control and experimental group shows that the
positive impact of using multimedia was evident on teaching the subject and proves that using video
clips in teaching the subject is an effective means of reaching a better learning. It is observed that the
development of the academic achievement for the experimental group is greater than that of the control
group. This stresses the effective use of multimedia in presenting lessons in the subject.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings show that media-based technique that uses video helps pupils to improve their
comprehension and memory of a topic being studied. Pupils showed changes in attitude and more
interest toward Science subjects and most of them did master the targeted basic concepts of Science
which is a concrete evidence that the said strategy would be of great help for the pupils as well as the
teachers.

Effects of Watching SPG Programs to the Social Relationship of the

Selected Grade 10 Students of Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School
Krystel Jane B. Magno, Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School

(Adviser: Emma C. Oña)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
There has been a worldwide revolution in the perception of the values in recent years involving the
changes in the way people think and act. The communication media hub played and continues to play a
major role in the process of social change as they reflect new attitudes and lifestyle. Often, one becomes
curious of what he watched.
As stated by Al Nathaison (1998), “Television viewing is associated with aggression, a "desensitization"

to violence, and increased fear. Given that children's exposure to television is too inevitable, parents may
wonder what they can do to protect their children from experiencing these and other negative effects.”
METHODS
The study used the Descriptive Technique Design to obtain information that would help analyze and
describe the data. The method design used by the researchers was facilitated through quantitative and
qualitative analysis of the respondent's insights about the study.
RESULTS
As teenagers and students who are involved in this kind of activity, one must control temptations
because it may lead to something that one will regret. In this study, the researchers found that some of
the Grade 10 students are watching SPG programs most of the time. On the other hand, most of the
students are watching during their free time. There are students who are just influenced by their friends
to watch these certain kinds of programs. It means that there are still some of the parents who are not
doing their responsibility as guardians of their children. It is because of their job or that their time is too
invested in their businesses. On the other hand, children always believe that they can do anything that
they want, choose their own path and decide on their own because they think that they have this kind of
freedom which kept them from doing wrong things. As a result, it could ruin lives and make the, more
miserable just by watching these inappropriate programs.
DISCUSSIONS
Social media has had a great impact towards society. Especially to those teens and children who are
easily influenced by their friends. The most common reason why they watch these kinds of programs is
because of curiosity. They wonder why these things happen and what their effects are to human beings.
Some of it may sound negative, but it has positive effects such as improving one’s intellectual curiosity,
growth awareness, and sex awareness. The researcher has proven that the youth is still the hope of our
country.

Lerma O. Furio & Mildred Dj. Par, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
As the quality of learning becomes diverse, effective teaching must also bring various strategies in the
classroom to discover more effective approaches that would bring better results. Kolb's (1984)
"Experiential Theory," as stated by McLeod (2013), proves to be an effective strategy for learning since
"learning is a process, in which knowledge is created through the transformation of experience." In ICT,
there is high level of innovation thus, it involves a high level of knowledge or skills transfer. Therefore,
an ICT teacher should assess the effectivity of his/her instructional strategy.
METHODS
To find out the effects of Web 2.0 Instruction in selected topics in ICT, a Quasi-Experimental Pretest
Posttest Control Group Design was used. The groups were matched using their grades in ICT in the
second grading period. The difference between the mean scores were factored in along with utilizing the
T-test to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. As for the instrument of the study, a 100-item,
validated teacher-made test was administered for pretest and posttest to both groups to determine the
effect of the experiment. The statistical analysis of data included the computation of the mean, standard
deviation, and test of significance.
RESULTS
There was a significant difference between the mean scores of the students subjected to Web 2.0
instruction and those of the conventional method of teaching. It can be concluded that Web 2.0
instruction was effective. The difference in the mean attitude of the students in the experimental and
control groups after the teaching was highly significant when pretest and posttest were compared. There
is a significant difference in the mean scores of the two groups.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the effectiveness of Web 2.0 instruction in teaching. It is recommended that
teachers use this approach to help the students appreciate the subject and improve attitude towards ICT
or in any subject. The school may use Web 2.0 approach in delivering the lessons as method of teaching.

Students
Raisa Sontillano, General Emilio Aguinaldo National High School, Division of

Imus City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Poor classroom strategies and instruction have always been one of the many problems of the
Department of Education. Recommendations from brain research might be a solution to this problem.
Hence, this action research investigated the use of Whole Brain Teaching (WBT) and whether this
method will have positive effects on students' achievement in Mathematics 8.
METHODS
Quasi-experimental, specifically Pretest Posttest Design with a control group was used in the study. The
design compared the experimental groups taught using WBT method with the control groups taught
using conventional teaching methods in light of three major phases: (1) pretest was given to two
experimental and two control groups; (2) the teacher taught the two experimental groups using WBT
method while the two control groups were taught using conventional teaching method; and (3) posttest
was given to the two experimental and two control groups after the topics were discussed. Achievement
was measured using a 30-item test taken from the periodical tests during the School Year 2013 to 2015.
RESULTS
The results revealed that Whole Brain Teaching and conventional teaching method are both effective.
However, the findings indicate that there was a greater retention of the topics learned among the
students taught using Whole Brain Teaching method for both higher and heterogeneous classes than the
students taught via conventional teaching method. Hence, Whole Brain Teaching method can boost
learning among students of any class. The findings also showed that students learned better using Whole
Brain Teaching Method than conventional teaching method. Thus, Whole Brain Teaching has positive
effects on achievement of Grade 8 students in Mathematics.
DISCUSSIONS
Conventional teaching method can be used regularly with integration of WBT techniques as these
methods are both effective in increasing the Mathematics achievement of the students. However, the
study proves that WBT method does improve the achievement of the students more than the
conventional teaching method. School administrators should provide the teachers different seminars on
teaching pedagogy like Whole Brain Teaching that could enhance the teaching and learning process.
Similar studies can be conducted in the elementary and tertiary levels, in other subjects, as well as in
other variables to further prove the effectiveness of Whole Brain Teaching Method.

Effects on Intensive Home Visitation through "Pasok Ko, Karunungan Ko"
Loreta Casil
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Going to school regularly is chronically important for a student's education and social skills. Chronically
absent students are disadvantaged both socially and academically. They miss out on critical stages of
social interaction and development with their peers while simultaneously limiting their academic
progress. This action research is delimited on the improvement of daily attendance of the students. The
recipient of this study are 30 identified absentee pupils from Kinder to Grade VI level of Pong-on
Elementary School with low participation in attendance and performance in all subjects.
METHODS
The Descriptive Method was used in this research since all students who need immediate attention were
picked. Analysis of respondents to be selected was done based on the causes that emerged during the
data triangulation. This action research used the description methods. Data collection was based on
students and their participation rating for the Second Quarter. Three sources of data were used to
generate viable target respondents for appropriate action. Their daily attendance or Form 2 was used as
basis for their attendance. The general average of the First and Second Quarters and interviews during
home visitation were utilized to supply authentic reasons for their actions or inactions. These data were
triangulated and confirmed as primary causes of their problems.
RESULTS
Based on the findings and results, there was an increase and improvement of pupils’ attendance as their
participation in the class was observed. Through the Pasok Ko, Karunungan Ko Program, the pupils
learned to understand the value of education and their dreams of a better future was developed. The
researcher recommends to all parents to continue their support and that they become aware of their
children's performance. They believe that education is the only way to have a better future.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the effects of intensive home visitation through "Pasok ko, Karunungan ko
Program" which increase the participation rating of the students after the intervention. Having the belief
that absenteeism is an alarming problem for administrators, teachers, parents, and society in general, the
researcher designed this intervention to increase attendance level of students in school.

Efficacy and Leadership Practices of Public Elementary School Teachers in

North District, Division of Lipa City
Apple Jane C. Mailig, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Among the manpower needs of all educational institutions, the teachers are the most indispensable for
they perform the greatest and foremost roles in the education of children (Abraham, 2011). The
alarming result of the National Achievement Test (NAT) to Grade 3, Grade 6, and Year 2/Year 4
students showed that Filipino learner's NAT Mean Percentage Score (MPS) has improved over the
eight-year period (SY 2005-2006 to 2012-2013) but has not yet reached the 75 percent MPS target for
Philippine EFA. As of SY 2012-2013, elementary level NAT is 6.12 percentage points away from target.
This situation demands an investigation on some of the teacher's personal and professional qualities of
which teacher efficacy and leadership practices are part and parcel.
METHODS
The Descriptive Method of research was employed with the use of questionnaire as the main instrument
in gathering data. This research focused on the leadership practices and efficacy of 171 public
elementary school teachers in North District, Division of Lipa City for A.Y. 2016-2017. The efficacy of
teachers was determined as to their commitment, innovativeness, creativeness, and motivation while the
teachers' leadership practices covered their school activities with reference to instruction, co-curricular
activities, extracurricular activities, and community participation. Likewise, the challenges faced by the
teachers regarding their leadership practices and efficacy were also examined.
RESULTS
The teachers manifest high level of efficacy in terms of commitment, innovativeness, creativeness, and
motivation. The respondents' leadership practices manifest greatly in the performance of functions
related to instruction, co-curricular activities, extra-curricular activities, and community participation.
There is a significant relationship between the teachers' manifested efficacy and leadership practices. The
more common challenges teachers encounter in relation to leadership and efficacy are motivating and
stimulating pupils' interest, insufficient school resources in the implementation of curriculum activities,
and time-management issues. Thus, a plan of action was proposed to strengthen the leadership practices
and efficacy of teachers.
DISCUSSIONS
The results show the need for teachers to be more innovative especially in motivating pupils. A
proposed action plan to strengthen further the teachers' leadership practices and efficacy also should be
presented to authorities for review and appropriate action.

Efficacy and Performance of Grade 8 Science Teachers, Division of

Catanduanes
Jorge Victor Sales, Department of Education - Catanduanes
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Science Education in the Philippines is ranked 76th out of 137 countries reflecting an alarming state of
the quality of instruction students receive. It has been investigated in the past that performance of
students lies heavily on teacher factors. However, most studies fail to formally evaluate what
misconceptions teachers may have taught and factors affecting performance in teaching. This study
focuses on teaching efficacy and knowledge on Laws of Motion.
METHODS
The study measured the efficacy and determined its relationship to the performance of Grade 8 Science
teachers in the Division of Catanduanes through a Correlational and Causal Comparative Research.
Respondents of the research are the Grade 8 Science Teachers of the public secondary schools in the
Division of Catanduanes during the School Year 2015 - 2016. The tool used in this study were the Force
Concept Inventory (FCI) and the Teaching Self Efficacy Scale (TSES). The tools were already validated
to be culture- and gender-unbiased.
RESULTS
The study concluded that a typical Grade 8 Science teacher in the Division is an experienced female
teacher with a Bachelor's Degree. Teaching efficacy of the teachers is above average. Respondents have
low performance on force concepts. Efficacy does not contribute to the level of performance of the
respondents. Efficacy among females is significantly higher than males. Sex, experience, and highest
educational attainment don't guarantee a better level of performance and understanding on Force
Concepts. Most of the teacher respondents have a great amount of non-comprehension on Force
Concepts regarding motion and factors that affect motion.
DISCUSSIONS
Results emphasize the importance of enrichment needed by the teachers on Classical Mechanics as
reflected on the results of the FCI. It also reflects that while teachers have high efficacy ratings among
themselves, it creates a false sense of affirmation on the correctness of the content of their lesson, hence
increasing the chance of teaching misconceptions among students. However, it is recommended that the
tool for measuring teaching efficacy be translated to the local language in order to improve the reliability
of the tool and remove cultural biases. Aside from the responses on the tall, it is recommended to ask
for a qualitative response to their choices on each item. Department of Education and teacher education
institutions should consider their professional improvement policies for Science specialists.

Genie Fe Ellar, Department of Education - Dr. Juan A. Pastor Memorial National

High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The Code of Ethics for professional teachers states in Article IV, Section 1 that every teacher shall
actively help insure that teaching is the noblest profession, and shall manifest genuine enthusiasm and
pride in teaching as a noble calling. The statement reveals that whatever the circumstances, the teacher
shall teach with enthusiasm and pride. On the other hand, many of the public schools in the country use
double-shifting schedule to accommodate all the students. By principle, every teacher is expected to
deliver quality education through efficient delivery of instruction regardless of how congested the
schedule is due to shifting of classes. Given this context, the current study aims to determine the efficacy
of instructional delivery of junior high school teachers across disciplines in two-shift schedule at Dr.
Juan A. Pastor Memorial National High School. The current scenario of junior high school teachers in
their preparation of instructional plans and materials, facilitation of instructions, management of learning
environment, and assessment of learning outcomes have manifest variance in the effectiveness of their
classroom delivery.
METHODS
Using the Mixed Method Approach of research, the findings reveal that two-shift schedule diversely
affect the assessment of learning outcomes according to the schedule of class shift.
RESULTS
The results suggest that the schedule has constructive impact on the efficacy of instructional delivery as
related to the performance of the teachers.
DISCUSSIONS
Nevertheless, this research serves as reflective reference among the junior high school teachers to
constantly re-evaluate their instructional performance to substantially deliver their respective classroom
instructions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In K to 12 curriculum, the mother tongue is being utilized by the teachers in their teaching for it has a
goal of a multilingual, multi- literate, and critically-thinking Filipinos. Students from kindergarten to
Grade 3 are expected to use their first language in the core subjects of the curriculum. In general, the
purpose of mother tongue is to develop appropriate cognitive and reasoning skills among the children
by letting them express themselves through the language they are fluent in. In Math, mother tongue is
used to familiarize students with terms and to teach the process in a manner they can comprehend.
Mother Tongue is used in major subjects like Math. Most teachers say that it is a helpful tool to teach
the process appropriate for solving mathematical equations. Whether it will help or hinder, for students
to understand more the lesson taught and how they view the effectivity of Mother Tongue-Based
Instruction.
METHODS
The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Mother Tongue-Based Instruction and its
relationship on the academic achievement of primary school pupils of Kaypaaba Elementary School in
the Municipality of Gen. E. Aguinaldo. Pretest Posttest Experimental Design was applied in the study
using teacher-made tests. The lesson plan used is the Mother Tongue-Based Instruction in the
experimental group and English-Based Instruction in the control group.
RESULTS
Findings revealed that during pretest and posttest, both the experimental and control groups have
significant differences. This implies that Mother Tongue-Based Instruction has a positive impact in the
academic achievement in Mathematics. They indicated that their learning outcomes are more beneficial,
effective, and enjoyable compared to English-Based Instruction.
DISCUSSIONS
In view of the above findings and conclusions, the following recommendations were offered: For pupils'
better academic achievement and positive development in Mathematics, Mother Tongue-Based
Instruction should be used. The study should be replicated in other subjects and in intermediate levels.
Teachers should be encouraged to teach in their own dialect so that pupils can understand the lesson
well and they can both express themselves freely.

Greg Sangalang, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficiency of note-taking skills of students using
mobile phones and its effects on academic performance. Many school teachers today do not allow use of
mobile devices inside their classrooms, but there are also growing numbers who have established the
necessary ground rules for their use and made smartphones an integral part of their classroom. There are
clear evidences from recent studies that many students feel that they are enjoying educational benefits
from the use of their smartphones. They rely mostly on their devices to keep them organized. They
often find creative ways to employ these features in their school work, both at home and in school.
Because of these reasons, this study was conducted with a primary objective of identifying the efficiency
of note-taking skills of students using mobile phones and its effect on the academic performance of the
students.
METHODS
A Multiple Methods Design was used. Two sections of Senior High School students were tested using
an adapted questionnaire to measure the validity of data. The total number of respondents is 70; 35
students in the controlled group and 35 students for the experimental group. Tabulating the scores of
their performance tasks and periodic examinations was also conducted with data collected through
quantitative analysis using the SPSS.
RESULTS
All of the students who answered the adaptive questionnaire brought their cellphones with note-taking
capability in school. Teachers also agreed that students should be allowed to use cellphones during class.
The result also showed that the computed scores from the performance tasks and periodic examination
was interpreted as outstanding. Therefore, the use of mobile phones with note-taking capability is
efficient and has a positive effect on the academic performance of students.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of this study demonstrate the need to review the cellphone policy of the school and take into
consideration the use of cellphones with proper instruction during class hours. Also, it is recommended
to draft/create a policy or guidelines regarding the use of cellphones in the teaching-learning process.
Lastly, the school administrators should conduct further study on the effect of cellphone on the
academic performance covering large number of respondents, or other study using Junior High School
students as respondents.

of Education - ETTMNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The research aims to investigate the effort and motivation of the Technical-Vocational and Livelihood
students of Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial National High School. In this study, the researchers focused
on the Bread and Pastry, Hairdressing, and Housekeeping students. Effort and motivation of technical-
vocational and livelihood students’ needs to be investigated in order to help the teachers introduce
appropriate interventions to help the students achieve their goals.
METHODS
A validated questionnaire composing of twenty-seven questions was used to determine the efforts and
motivation of the student-respondents. The researchers used cluster sampling in the selection of their
respondents. Twelve respondents each were selected from Bread and Pastry, Hair Dressing, and
Housekeeping strands of the TVL track.
RESULTS
The data collected revealed that the Technical-Vocational and Livelihood students exert effort in and are
highly motivated towards their studies. The Bread and Pastry and Hair Dressing students appeared to be
exerting effort towards their studies most of the time, with a mean of 3.58 and 3.55. Housekeeping
students always exert effort gaining a mean score of 4.23. When it comes to their motivation, the Bread
and Pastry and Housekeeping students are the most highly-motivated with a mean of 4.34 and 4.68,
respectively. Hair Dressing students are motivated with a mean of 4.20.
DISCUSSIONS
Findings of this study reveal that although it was reported that TVL students have a higher rate of
dropping out of school (as compared to those enrolled in the academic track), students are still
motivated and are perceived to exert efforts in their academics. This implies that an investigation on the
factors as to why students from the TVL track are more likely to drop out should be conducted.

Department of Education - Sto. Tomas South
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
E-games or electronic games are games that employ electronics to create an interactive system in which
players can play. A mathematical game is a game with rules, strategies, and outcomes defined by clear
mathematical parameters (Encyclopedia). This study is primarily focused on the level of mathematical
literacy and numeracy of Grade Five pupils of San Pedro Elementary School as basis for strategy and
instructional material design.
METHODS
The study employed Experimental-Evaluative type of research wherein it assessed the level of
mathematics literacy and numeracy of pupils using E-games and assessment tools. Pre- and post-oral
numeracy assessment tools were utilized. First and Second Quarter grades were used as basis for
effectiveness of implementation of E-games. One hundred ninety-two (192) pupil-respondents
participated in the study.
RESULTS
Findings showed that there was a remarkable achievement in the First Quarter grades. Second Quarter
average grades increased at very satisfactory levels of achievement in the Grade Five pupils' performance
in the utilization of the developed Math E-games by San Pedro Elementary School Math teachers.
Results also reveal that there is a significant relationship between the level of literacy, numeracy, and
academic performance of pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
The primary objective of this research is the measurement of the range of interest and learning styles of
the current generation. In this study, the researchers examined the academic performance of the pupils
during the First Semester. Researchers then utilized E-games as teaching strategy for Math teachers to
improve the mathematical literacy and numeracy of Grade Five pupils.
The best practices enrich literacy and numeracy skills of the pupils as well as enhance love for

E-Games: A Technology-Based Instruction Scheme in Improving

Numeracy Skills of Emergent Numerates of Grade I-Malvar at Bawi
Elementary School
Kris Glory, Bawi Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching Mathematics is viewed as unappealing, unconnected with the interests and experiences of most
of the students. Many students find learning mathematics difficult and do not enjoy studying
Mathematics. Teachers also encounter difficulties in teaching the said subject. With the present scenario
and reality in the Department of Education classrooms, with teachers facilitating more than 50 pupils in
a classroom, an alternative method has been conceptualized.
METHODS
This study utilized Experimental Research Design which examined the phenomenon of numeracy skills
among emergent pupils once electronic games were employed during instruction. There were two
groups: the controlled experimental group underwent E-game remediation scheme applying technology-
based numeracy assessment while the uncontrolled/traditional group did not undergo any technology-
based remedial teaching. The research experiment was run for one week. The researcher used the
following data gathering tool: a teacher-researcher numeracy assessment tool which was developed,
validated, and modified. These test questionnaires underwent peer and expert validation. The data
gathering procedures such as remediation assessment implementation were conducted to gather
emergent readers' numeracy test results. In terms of analyzing the significant difference between test
scores, the T-test treatment of data was utilized.
RESULTS
Based on the results of the study, the most common numeracy problem manifested by the pupils were
simple addition, simple subtraction of one-digit and two-digit numbers, and unfamiliarity with numbers.
Analyzing simple number sentence was the main reason why pupils have poor numeracy performance
levels. The use of electronic games in teaching numeracy showed marked improvement on the pupils'
performance.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers should take turns using the school's media technologies so that every group of pupils is given a
chance to improve their competencies. School heads and teachers must consistently maintain their
current status of working together for the common goal of enhancing pupils' varied competencies by all
means possible. Future researchers may conduct studies which may be similar to or related to this
current study to determine whether similar or different findings may result from their studies at another
time and place.

accessibility of computers and other devices which supplements delivery of instruction. Over the last
decade, a great re-emphasis has been given to integrating Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) into the Mathematics classroom to help motivate students in the process of learning mathematical
concepts to be used in real-life problem-solving activities. Technology is providing a new perspective in
learning Mathematics. With the development of educational technology, teaching methods and strategies
have begun to change. Alternative models of teaching with technology have surfaced to better sustain
the interest of today's digital generation in the classroom.
METHODS
The study focused primarily on the assessment of E-Games used in teaching Mathematics 8 in Malapad
na Parang National High School during the Third Grading Period of SY 2018-2019. Pretest and Posttest
results were compared to see if there was any improvement in the performance of learners. A
questionnaire was also administered to assess the effects of E-Games to the learners' performance and
how it is utilized as a supplementary tool in learning Math concepts.
RESULTS
The posttest result was 4.17 percent higher than the pretest result which implies that there is a great
increase in the performance of the class. Moreover, the results of the assessment of E-Games show that
effects on the students' performance were evident. On the other hand, utilizing E-Games as a
supplementary tool in learning Math concepts was deemed highly evident.
DISCUSSIONS
The results had shown positive effects of the E-Games in improving the academic performance of
students in Mathematics 8. Moreover, the tool was considered a new development to improve
motivation, interest, and active participation of students in Mathematics class.

E-Idol: The Impact of Positive Reinforcement on Being "Makatao" of

Junior High School Students
Charlotte C. Mengullo, Gloria Ana Elena F. Mange, Joana Marie M. Tapic, Lezette
P. Endozo,Maria Fe D. Labramonte, & Rowena De Guia
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The value of "Pagiging Makatao" is a dilemma faced by adolescents. Even the educational system in the
Philippines finds it problematic despite their efforts to prioritize the strengthening of values among
students as early as they enter school. This is evident in the development of the curriculum since the
1970's. Several attempts have been made by institutions in promoting the value of "pagiging makatao"
through academic researches, programs, retreats and recollections, and seminars and trainings among
values educators. For instance,Department of Educationhas its KPSEP Club (Kabataan Para sa
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao Club), Training and Development Programs and Activities (DO 32, s.
2011), Basic Education Researches (DO 39, s. 2016), Gender Responsive Basic Education Policy (DO
32, s. 2017), Inclusive Education (DO 72, s. 2009), etc. E-Idol, which stands for Edukasyon sa
Pagpapakatao Idol, through positive reinforcement, recognizes students from Grades 7 to 10 who
modeled a core value at a certain time.
METHODS
Eight hundred student-respondents from Grade Seven to Ten of Rosario National High School we
selected using Purposive Random Sampling. This program recognizes students who modeled the four
core values ofDepartment of Education(Department of Education) namely: Makatao, Maka-Diyos,
Makakalikasan, and Makabansa. To validate its effect on the behavior of the students, the value of being
"Makatao" was measured using an assessment tool based on theDepartment of EducationMemorandum
No. 35 s., 2016 before and after the implementation of the program. The questionnaire has a total of 17
questions with six components. Data was analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.
RESULTS
The result revealed that for Grade 7, the computed z-value is -3.716 with a significance of 0.000; for
Grade 8, the computed z-value is -6.815 with a significance of 0.000; for Grade 9, the computed z-value
is -5.674 with a significance of 0.000; and for Grade 10, the computed value is -8.834 with a significance
of 0.000. The values are less than the 5% level of significance which suggests that there is a significant
difference between the pretest and the posttest.
DISCUSSIONS
Thus, the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in manifesting the core value of being
"Makatao" among the students upon the integration of the E-Idol Program is rejected. This implies that
the integration of the E-Idol Program has heightened the core value of being "Makatao" among the
Junior High School Students of RNHS.

Thus, the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in manifesting the core value of being
"Makatao" among the students upon the integration of the E-Idol Program is rejected. This implies that
the integration of the E-Idol Program has heightened the core value of being "Makatao" among the
Junior High School Students of RNHS.

E-Learning in Earth and Life Science: An Intervention to Remediate the

Learning among Students with Absenteeism Problem in Inosloban-
Marawoy Integrated National High School
Jerwin Gutierrez, Inosloban-Marawoy Integrated National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Student absenteeism is one of the perennial problems observed and documented in schools. One of the
challenging tasks of a teacher is observing and sustaining consistent presence or attendance of his or her
students. This is one problem which concerns school administrators, teachers, and parents since it
exposes the students to serious disadvantages both academically and socially. Being physically absent in
classroom means missing out on important lessons in terms of academics and decrease opportunities for
social interaction. In a broader sense, this can result in poor academic performance, low self-esteem, and
being at risk of leaving the school or dropping out.
METHODS
This study used the Randomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design in examining the effectiveness
of E-Learning Instruction as an intervention in teaching Earth and Life Science among Senior High
School (SHS) students with absenteeism problem in IMNHS. This study determined the effective use of
E-Learning Instruction in Earth & Life Science as a supplementary intervention to remediate the
learning among SHS students with absenteeism problem in Inosloban-Marawoy National High School.
RESULTS
The computed t-value of the control group was 14. 378 which is greater than the tabulated value of
1.740 at .05 level of significance. The same is true with the computed t-value on the experimental group
which is 18.901. These mean that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the
control group and the experimental group. The data for the test of difference of paired observation of
independent samples between the posttests of control and experimental groups was recorded. The
computed t-value is -4.890 which is greater than the tabulated value of 1.691 at .05 level of significance.
This means that there is a significant difference between the performance in posttests of the students in
the control and experimental groups.
DISCUSSIONS
The results state that there is a significant difference between the performance of the control and
experimental groups after the intervention was introduced. Students under the experimental group
exhibited more improvement in their academic performance than the control group. The participants
have cited positive reactions in the integration of E-learning during remedial class. Thus, this study
proved that E-Learning in Earth and Life Science is an effective supplementary intervention in
remediating the learning of students with absenteeism problem.

E-Learning Mobile Application for English 8: Streamlining Strategy for

Effectual Pedagogy
Pamela Rodelas & Perfecto Valencia, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Learners in this era of great technological advancements are given opportunities which could cater to
their needs and interests at the same time. Gaps in teaching-learning process could be detrimental to
such opportunities. Therefore, the researchers were able to develop and validate an E-learning mobile
application for English 8 based on the topics in the Fourth Quarter of School Year 2017-2018
streamlined with the competencies stated in the curriculum
METHODS
The designed e-learning mobile application for English 8 used the Experimental-Descriptive Method of
research. It also used pretest and posttest to be answered by Grade 7 learners. It involved observing and
describing behavior without influencing it in any way, specifically in describing the level of validity and
acceptability of E-learning mobile application as instructional material for English 8.
RESULTS
The results of the assessment made on the level of validity were all "Highly Valid" (HV). Similarly, the
results of the assessment on the level of acceptability were all "Very Acceptable" (VA).
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the test of significant difference on the performance of the learners in their pretest and
posttest, the probability value was less than the level of significance at .05. The results demonstrate that
the designed E-learning mobile application for English 8 was effective because the learners improved
from their pretest as seen in their posttest. Given the fact that the learners' posttest scores were higher
than their pretest, this presupposes that the designed E-learning mobile application plays a very
significant role in ensuring better vocabulary development, better reading comprehension, and better
grammar development. It also proves that the designed E-learning mobile application has a significant
impact to learners' development and can be used as instructional material for the succeeding school
years.

Elementary School Heads' Capability in Social Marketing for School

Success in the Implementation of the Enhanced K to 12 Program
Sahlee Cerillo, San Agustin Elementary School, Iriga City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The DepEd’s K to 12 Program’s primary objective is to produce functionally literate citizens who are
self-reliant, patriotic, and service-oriented. The success of an educational program lies on the effective
and efficient leadership of the school head, whose social marketing capability is vital. They must
consider their capability and knowledge of implementation of different aspects of social marketing and
subsequent constraints in implementation. This study is significant in order to address the constraints
faced by school heads on social marketing for the school’s success.
METHODS
The Descriptive-Inferential Method with Documentary Analysis was used. Using a questionnaire, the
tool determined the school heads' capability for social marketing for school success in relation to the
enhanced K to 12 Program. There are 212 school heads from the 5th Congressional District of
Camarines Sur and 40 from Iriga City. The Kuder Richardson Formula 21 was employed. A five-point
rating scale was adopted. The survey questionnaire was prepared, distributed, and retrieved personally.
Results were tallied, tabulated, and analyzed.
RESULTS
Many of the school heads were not knowledgeable of any social marketing strategy. Likewise, they were
not much aware that this strategy enhances a school’s performance. Also, awareness of the resources
needed to create effective social marketing was lacking. Indifferences of the staff and inability to
institutionalize the use of data gathered were some of the constraints they have encountered. A
proposed seminar and training program and conduct of a further study on the assessment of the
effectiveness of the output of this study are some measures the researcher recommends.
DISCUSSIONS
Awareness of the school heads on social marketing for school success needs to be enhanced. The extent
of their implementation on social marketing strategies must be developed.

Elementary Teachers' Knowledge on Infographics and Computer Literacy

in Mabini District
Mina Villanueva
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The researcher’s objective for this study to measure the knowledge of teachers on infographics and their
computer literacy. This study also aims to enhance the teaching-learning process of the elementary
pupils. The focus of the study is aimed towards the improvement of instruction and development of
elementary pupils in line with infographics and computer literacy particularly in small schools in the
Mabini District. The researcher aims to increase the awareness to opportunities that infographics can
provide to education as well as to investigate the teachers' knowledge about infographics and computer
literacy in the teaching-learning process.
METHODS
The Descriptive Method of research was employed in the study. The descriptive type of research is
concerned with the condition of the relationship that usually exists as a purposive process in gathering,
analyzing, classifying, and tabulating data about prevailing conditions, practices, belief, cause and effect
relationships, and making adequate and accurate interpretations.
RESULTS
The literacy education’s area of specialization is designed to extend candidates' knowledge, skills, and
understanding of literature and language arts in the elementary grades. The main problem of the
students includes not having accurate knowledge about this skill and may be time-consuming to study or
design. Almost all the students were satisfied with this skill to increase their knowledge and competency
efficiently. Action planning is a process which will help teachers to focus on the ideas and decide what
steps need to be taken to achieve particular goals.
DISCUSSIONS
Most participants specialize in teaching English from Kindergarten to Grade Six. Knowledge of teachers
on infographics and computer use were interpreted as “average.” There is no significant difference
between the knowledge of respondents and area of specialization and year level taught. Teachers'
knowledge and incorporating knowledge in making infographics in teaching has no significant
relationship.

Elevating Academic Performances of Select G-11 Students of Talipan

National High School through Project HOME (HOme visitation and
Mutual Encouragement)
Kristine Galac, Michelle Fontanosa, & Melody Nogot, TEA
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Education strengthens the “No Child Left Behind Policy” and ensures the welfare
of every child to lessen absenteeism that will result in dropout cases in the Philippine Education System.
Despite the efforts of public schools, absenteeism is still uncontrolled and greatly affects the academic
performance of students in school. Hence, the conduct of Project HOME was conceptualized to
address absenteeism that affects the poor academic performances of Grade 11 students.
METHODS
Descriptive-Comparative Research Design was employed. Anchored on the principle of effect of the
Reinforcement Theory, the intervention program which was designed to assist 30 Grade 11 students was
implemented. The Second Quarter general average and the zero absenteeism results after the
implementation of the project served as the input data which were quantitatively analyzed using
percentile, simple average, and dependent t-test.
RESULTS
There was a high percentage of absenteeism during the First Quarter which resulted in low academic
performance and lower results of the general average during the First Quarter. With the aid of Project
HOME, absenteeism was greatly reduced. Therefore, the intervention program introduced was effective
in reducing absenteeism and elevating academic performance of select Grade 11 learners. In addition,
the learners were greatly motivated to improve their academic performance as evidenced in the Second
Quarter grading because a positive reinforcement was patiently introduced and realized.
DISCUSSIONS
The results suggest that the genuine, hands-on action can address the learning gap. Instead of blaming
the students all the time for being absent and coming late to class, it is a must to reach out to the
learners by knowing the causes, patiently listening to them, giving them the never ending words of
encouragement and considering good partnership with parents/guardians for the child to feel the
genuine love of the school and family so that no child will be left behind.

Eliminating Common Anxiety Problems in Mathematics of Grade 6 Pupils

of Gulod Elementary School S.Y 2017- 2018
Bernardo Ortega, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Math anxiety is a phenomenon in which pupils suffer from fear of Mathematics that affects their ability
to learn, comprehend, practice, and perform mathematical problems and procedures (Miller & Mitchell,
1994). This anxiety can cause an inability to think and/or process new information. In this study, we will
take a constructive look at the common Math anxiety problems and how a student can learn to manage
this anxiety so that it no longer hinders study of Mathematics.
METHODS
The researcher used the Purposive Sampling Technique in identifying respondents. The survey
questionnaire was utilized. The researcher personally met with the pupils to explain to them the purpose
of the study and the process of filling up the Math Anxiety Self-Test. The data-gathering instrument
used as a questionnaire was designed by the researcher. Several books and periodicals concerning Math
anxiety of the pupils will be used as references and will serve as basis for instrument design.
RESULTS
One Grade 6 teacher and sixty-five (65) pupils of Gulod Elementary School, School Year 2017-2018 are
the respondents of the study. In this study, the data was quantified, briefly explained, interpreted and
tabulated as indicated in the statement of the problem. Feeling nervous about Math is very common in
the results of the study. Thus, Math- anxious pupils not only fear the actual performance of Math
problems, but also the substance and content of Math itself. Pupils with Math anxiety are experiencing a
battle on two fronts: (1) they have to cope with the aspects of test anxiety and (2) a fear of number
manipulation. The researcher has developed among participating pupils’ strong skills and developed
positive attitude towards Math, contextualized Math to real life situations, accommodated students'
varied learning styles, avoided subjecting students to embarrassing situations, and used a variety of
assessments as common interventions in eliminating common anxiety.
DISCUSSIONS
The research aimed to find out how teachers eliminate pupils’ anxiety in Mathematics. The researcher
recommends reducing Math anxiety and increasing the achievement of the pupils in learning style and
for the teachers to identify and assist Math-anxious pupils.

Eliminating the Habit: The Effect of Nationwide Smoking Ban to Teenage

Smokers
Ethel Grace Pacifico

(Adviser: Cleofe Almonte)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
With tobacco causing more than 5 million deaths yearly across the globe, smoking has been identified as
the leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide. Therefore, the government issued a number of
measures wherein the most recent was Executive Order No. 26 of President Rodrigo Duterte
implementing a smoking ban in public areas, schools, and establishments. School is one of the places
where teenagers smoke. In response, theDepartment of Educationrecently launched an online program
called "EskwelaBansaSigarilyo" which aims to raise student awareness onDepartment of
EducationOrder no. 48 setting forth the Tobacco Control Policy. This research was conducted to
determine the effect of the nationwide ban on smoking to teenage smokers. It also examined the anti-
smoking policies implemented in New Era National High School in accordance to the smoking ban and
how effective they are in eliminating tobacco consumption among teenage smokers.
METHODS
This study used a Descriptive-Narrative Design with 40 participants who qualified as smokers aged 14-
17 years. This qualitative research used Purposive Sampling since there was a specific target of
participants and used interview as a tool for data gathering.
RESULTS
Based on the data gathered, the results revealed that 19 respondents started smoking because they were
influenced by peers, 3 respondents were influenced by parents, 10 respondents started smoking out of
curiosity, and 8 respondents said that they smoke just for fun. All respondents consumed between 2 to 7
sticks a day. All of the respondents also stated that they are aware of the National Smoking Ban
implemented by the government such as warning signs in the pack of cigarettes and no smoking rules in
all public areas such as schools, government facilities, hospitals, and etc. However, measures have no
effect to teenage smokers even if New Era National High School followed and implemented programs
by having seminars and roll-out campaigns.
DISCUSSIONS
Despite these measures, smoking is still prevalent among teenagers. Appropriate teaching materials that
promote deeper understanding of the bad effects of smoking in health should be adopted by the
Physical Education & Health teachers. The school should continue providing seminars which aim to
promote the benefits of quitting smoking accompanied with constant monitoring of these students.
Further study may be conducted to measure the effectiveness of the seminars and plans of the school on
the effect of nationwide smoking ban to teenage smokers.

ELOADS: Electronic Learning modules of Alternative Learning System

Developing Scheme and its Effect on Performance in Acceleration &
Equivalency Simulation Test
Geralyn Alcazar & Ma. Theresa H. Criste, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In the quest for quality education and excellent performance of the learners in the Alternative Learning
System (ALS) in their Acceleration & Equivalency Test, teachers, coordinators, and administrators
continuously find ways to improve learning and increase learners' passing score in the A&E Test. In this
study, the researchers explore the effectiveness of using the Electronic Learning Modules and ICT
resources in teaching as an intervention to increase the level of passers of A&E Simulation Test in
preparation for the actual Acceleration and Equivalency Test.
METHODS
Descriptive-Normative Survey and the Correlational Design were used with the aid of pupil as
informants. Through a normative survey, the behavior of the learners was described as a result of the
assessment which were answered by pupils themselves. Correlation between the variables, E-Learning
modules, and performance in A&E Simulation Test were also established. The respondents of the study
were the 11 Elementary ALS learners and 53 Secondary ALS Learners of Alfonso Central School and
Brgy. Buck Estate for CY 2017.
RESULTS
With the computed t-value of 13.73 and a p-value of 0.01 at 0.05 level of significance for elementary and
the computed t-value of 27.11 and p-value of 0.01 at 0.05 level of significance for secondary, the
researchers concluded that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results of the
ALS learners' performance in A&E Simulation Test. Through this, the researchers can conclude that the
E-Learning Modules were effective. With the computed r coefficient of 0.60 and p-value of 0.05 at 0.05
level of significance, there is enough evidence to conclude that there is a significant relationship existing
between the ALS learners' perception towards E-modules and their performance in A&E Simulation
Test. Since the r coefficient is 0.60, the relationship existing between the two variables can be described
as a moderate positive correlation.
DISCUSSIONS
This study implies that the use of E-Learning Modules for raising performance level in Acceleration and
Equivalency Test among ALS Learners in both Elementary and Secondary is effective and of great
value. While they are favorable with the use of E-learning Modules, their scores in the test also increases.

Emergency Preparedness of High-Risk Schools in South Cotabato: Basis in

Enhancing Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan
Joena Benguan & Semeo Innotech
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study is primarily aimed to determine the emergency preparedness of high-risk public schools in
South Cotabato which will serve as basis in developing an enhanced Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Plan. The school heads, teachers, and school personnel should be aware, alert, and vigilant
of the hazards and what to do before, during, and after their occurrence, in order to reduce damage and
impact to lives and property. The reading public, on the other hand, will know that the department is
truly working towards an efficient and caring educational system. It is worthy to note that laws and
policies are already in place. The question lies now as to how these issuances were implemented in the
schools especially those which are located in high-risk areas.
METHODS
The research was carried out in fifteen (15) enumerated high-risk public schools in South Cotabato. The
respondents involved in this study were fifteen (15) school heads, thirty-three (33) teachers, two hundred
seventy-two (272) learners, and forty-five (45) LDRRM Officers— a total of 364 respondents. The data
were gathered through questionnaires and interview. Statistical tools used include, frequency, percentage,
weighted mean, one-way ANOVA and t-test.
RESULTS
The identified high-risk schools in South Cotabato are prone to earthquake, flood, grassfire, landslide,
volcanic eruption, and strong wind. School heads, teachers, and learners have a common level of
preparedness in case of disaster while in terms of capacity to manage disasters, school heads and
teachers are moderately prepared. Moreover, the issues and concerns met by the teachers along the
implementation of disaster preparedness program include the lack of funds, lack of trained teachers in
DRRM, lack of emergency-related supplies, and lack of emergency equipment.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results, the researcher recommends development of a policy of coordination among Local
DRRMO and other agencies involved in LDRRMC. Disaster needs a multi-sectoral and partnership
approach in order to lessen vulnerability. Moreover, more comprehensive vulnerability mapping to
identify the risk and hazard must be carried out. There should be an assessment of all physical
infrastructure, number of teachers and learners at risk, and hazard areas which is very significant to
reduce risk. Thus, the integration of Disaster Risk Reduction in the curriculum must be intensified so
that learners even at a young age will be educated in disaster risk awareness and its effects.

School
Mark Angelo Labitigan & Maide Rovero, Casay National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The objective of the study is to ascertain the outcomes of the emerging Bibliotherapy Express Program
in Classroom Setting to assist the students and teachers struggling with stress. It aims to prove that BE
Program is an effective tool to help cope with stress. The emerging Bibliotherapy Express Program is a
unique way to relieve stress and a new found way of coping with stress for healthy living among students
and teachers in San Francisco, Quezon.
METHODS
The study used Descriptive Research Design utilizing quantitative approach to determine the program’s
significance and implications to the behavior of the respondents. A self-devised survey questionnaire
made by the researchers was used to collect feedbacks on the effectiveness of the program.
RESULTS
Study revealed that among 174 clients (141 students, 33 teachers), only 86 respondents or 49% joined
the program and selected books suitable to their needs. With the remaining 86 respondents, 36% agree
that Emotional Stress Signals need reinforcement, followed by Physical Stress Signals with 34%, and
Behavioral Stress Signals with 30% as the least. Results also showed that the emerging Bibliotherapy
Express Program in classroom setting is highly recommended and proven effective as a tool to cope
with stress. Similarly, the respondents strongly agree with 3.51 (WAM) which implies effectiveness of
the program.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Bibliotherapy Express Program
in classroom setting as aid for students and teachers struggling with stress. Before the implementation of
the program, most of the respondents agreed that emotional stress signals need reinforcement followed
by physical and behavioral stress signals. But during the implementation, it has been observed that
majority of the respondents are utilized materials available in the classroom that responds to their stress
signals. Integration of gamification and other playful extensions such as playing music, storytelling,
drawing, reading, and writing can enhance the effectiveness of the Bibliotherapy Express Program. The
statistical data implies that the emerging Bibliotherapy Express Program in classroom setting is an
effective intervention in reducing and coping with stress as evidence by the computed weighted average
of 3.51 which is interpreted as “Strongly Agree.”

Emotional Labor among Teachers: Basis for Emotional Regulation
Karen Gayle Micosa, Sta. Anastacia Elementary School / Division of Batangas

Province
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The encompassing influence of a teacher to a student is so immense that when a teacher's emotions on
specific situations is not managed may damage a student one way or another for life. As a hardworking
professional, teachers need to manage their personal feelings and remain calm and positive at all times.
A teacher's job requires them to manage their emotions or the way they express those emotions to meet
organizational expectations. The researcher intends to explore emotional labor.
METHODS
Cluster Sampling Technique was utilized for this study in order to have an unbiased selection of
respondents per school. One hundred sixty-eight (168) teachers from different schools divided into
zones represent the sample population. The Descriptive Method of research was also used to assess and
describe the degree of emotional labor of teachers (deep acting, suppression, surface acting, and
emotional consonance) and their compliance to Article 4: The Teachers and the Learners of the Code of
Ethics for Public School Teachers and Section 8: Duties and Responsibilities of School Personnel-
Teachers (Child Protection Policy).
RESULTS
The teachers perceived themselves as fully compliant with Article IV: The Teacher and the Learners of
the Code of Ethics for Public School Teachers and with the provisions of Section 8 ofDepartment of
EducationOrder No. 40, s. 2012 with an overall weighted mean of 3.60. The teachers' emotional labor
levels are highest in emotional consonance, followed by surface acting, followed by suppression, and,
finally, deep acting. There is significant relationship between and among the degree of Emotional Labor
and compliance to the Code of Ethics (Teacher and the Learners) and the Child Protection Policy
(Duties and Responsibilities of Teachers).
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results, the researcher has made a proposal to mitigate the negative consequences of
Emotional Labor. A universal, developmentally-appropriate mindfulness instruction that fosters mental
health and wellness must be provided. Emotion awareness and emotion management skills and to foster
wholesome emotional balance must be enhanced. Attention must be strengthened. The repertoire of
skills for stress management must be expanded. Students must be assisted and aided to integrate
mindfulness into everyday life. Practicing mindfulness offers the opportunity to develop hardiness in the
face of uncomfortable feelings that otherwise might provoke a response that could be harmful.
Cognizance training can complement and strengthen other approaches that promote emotion regulation,
reduce stress, and develop attention.

(Adviser: Reynald Joseph Fonte)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
For the past few years of social and economic development, wherein business is considered as one of
the factors that affect the economy, industry immersion and business partners play important roles in
the performance of Technical Vocational students. Graduates must have appropriate skills to be
employed. Without personal attributes and understanding, the student will not be able to find a job. In
this regard, the researchers assessed the level of employability of the Technical Vocational graduates as a
result of their industry immersions and business partners.
METHODS
The research design used in this study is a Survey-Descriptive Method which involve the collection of
data in order to answer the questions whether the immersion had any effect on the employability of
Technical Vocational senior high school graduates. An adopted-research questionnaire was used to
gather information needed for the study. The researchers utilized descriptive and inferential statistics in
analyzing and interpreting gathered data.
RESULTS
The graduate-respondents have high mean performance in their immersion to industry and business
partners. The mean level assessment of the graduates about their employability in terms of
communication skills have an average mean level. Human relation skills and information technology
skills have high mean level of assessment while problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills have a
low level of assessment. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between
the immersion performance of graduates and their employability skills in terms of communication skills
and human relation skills.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of the mean performance of the graduate-respondents in their immersion implies that they
worked well in the tasks given to them. The study also shows that the employability of the respondents
in terms of communication skills, human relation skills, and information technology skills was very
evident in their performance in their immersion. The relationship between the immersion performance
and the employability of the graduates imply that their skills were affected by their immersion in
industries and business partners. Finally, it was concluded that the more skilled the respondents, the
higher their performance in immersion.

Employing "Basura Siksik" Program to Develop Ecological Solid Waste

Management
Tyrene Cubero, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Around the world, efforts are being made to make people aware about environmental protection. One
of the main causes of environmental degradation is improper solid waste management. There is no
permanent solution to environmental problems. The only thing we can do is to reduce and control waste
generation by proper awareness and practice (Municipal Ordinance No. 1, s. 2009).
METHODS
The participants of the study were the Grade 2 pupils of Wakat Elementary School, S.Y 2017 - 2018. A
total of 34 pupils. Anecdotal record of observations by the researcher and peers were also used as source
of data. A questionnaire was given to the pupils. The purpose and method of the study was explained to
the pupils and consent was sought by the researcher from the parents. The instrument of research was a
validated, self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to assess pupils' knowledge,
attitude, and practice on waste management.
RESULTS
Pupils are well aware of the principles of waste minimization and the role of school authorities in waste
management, segregation of waste, effective mechanism for waste management, and complications of
improper waste management. Regarding practice of proper waste management, pupils have proper ideas
and practice of waste segregation. They are committed to minimize waste, avoid littering, and to keep
their waste. Results reveal a significant difference in the pretest and posttest mean. The computed t-
value implies the rejection of the assumption that there is no significant difference.
DISCUSSIONS
The level of practice of the pupils before the intervention was low. There was an increase on the level of
practice of the pupils on proper waste disposal after the implementation of the Basura Siksik Program. A
significant difference was evident after the implementation of the program and implies that the
intervention implemented was effective. The intervention could be implemented by other teachers
together with their classes to develop their pupils' level of practice on waste management.

Employing "Give and Take Approach" to Decrease Pupils' Absenteeism of

Kindergarten Class S.Y 2018 - 2019
Angelie Margate & Imelda T. Azarcon, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Kindergarten is an exciting time for young pupils as they will learn to express themselves through school
and playing with peers. But how could they enjoy these if they will be physically absent in the class? The
attendance rate is important because pupils are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend
school regularly.
METHODS
Nine (9) Kindergarten Azarcon Pupils who have absenteeism problems are the participants of this study.
Data is based on pupil's percentage monthly attendance as reflected in SF 2 of August and September of
the current school year. Interviews with parents and to the identified respondents were also conducted
to gather additional data.
RESULTS
This study provided insight to the researchers and practitioners that if the school transforms their
policies into a more child-friendly and oriented one then they will receive positive outcomes. This study
reveals that there is a decrease of absences after the implementation of the "Give and Take Approach.”
Out of the nine (9) identified chronic absentees, six (6) pupils had decreased percentage of absences.
Pupils who were never absent increased.
DISCUSSIONS
The conduct of Give and Take Approach was indeed an effective approach to decrease the pupils'
absenteeism in the Kindergarten Azarcon class. This approach helped the respondents and even other
pupils who are not part of the study to have positive attitude in attending classes.

Employing 2C2IA Reading Approach to Improve the Reading

Comprehension Skills of Grade 3 Pupils
Ma. Theresa Espuerta, Anibongan Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The issues about literacy and poor comprehension has been universal. In the Philippines,Department of
Educationhas a commitment to improve pupils' literacy level through their reading ability. The
Philippine Informal Inventory (Phil-IRI) (Dep.Ed Memo No. 324, s.2004) was developed as an
assessment tool to determine reading levels of pupils from Grades One to Six. The result of the
assessment was very alarming. Difficulties in reading comprehension has affected other subject areas as
well which is likely to result to overall poor academic performance of the pupils. It is in this premise that
employing the 2C2IA (Cognitive, Constructive, Integrative, Interactive, Affective) Reading Approach
would significantly improve the reading skills of Grade 3 pupils.
METHODS
The Quasi-Experimental Non-equivalent Pretest-Posttest with Control Group Design was used. It
intended to give pretest and posttest to two groups but only one group received the treatment. Since
there is only one section in Grade 3, Grade 4 class was used as the control group since both grade levels
have similar competencies in reading comprehension. A pretest was administered to both experimental
and control groups. Three reading lesson plans in 2C2IA format was prepared and were administered as
the treatment to the experimental group. After three weeks, the posttest was given and checked.
RESULTS
2C2IA reading approach and the Traditional Method are both effective in improving the reading
comprehension skills of the Grade 3 pupils in terms of making inferences and distinguishing reality from
fantasy. However, in improving the skills of the pupils in terms of predicting outcomes, 2C2IA reading
approach is more effective than the traditional method. Also, comparing the performance of the pupils
within the group, pupils subjected to the 2C2IA reading approach perform better than those subjected
to the Traditional Method in improving reading comprehension skills.
DISCUSSIONS
The results revealed that pupils must be helped in improving their reading skills specifically the
comprehension skills using both the 2C2IA reading approach and the Traditional Method. Teachers
should employ both 2C2IA and Traditional Method in developing the reading skills of the pupils.
Variation in approaches will give more interest to the pupils to perform well, hence, training pupils to be
more academically prepared and globally competitive. A more comprehensive lesson plan using the
2C2IA format should be constructed so that teachers will continuously use the approach.

Four and Five Pupils
Florame G. Galorport, Florenita B. Suan, & Merlina A. Jubay, Department of

Education - Barobo 1
(Adviser: Florenita Suan)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The study aims to lessen the number of non-participating pupils within the three months of
implementation of the Project REST (Recreation Education for Students by the Teachers). This
intervention promotes pupils' confidence and self-esteem. It was done every Friday at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The recipients were select Grade 4 and 5 learners of San Jose Elementary School. There were
eight (8) identified learners who did not participate in most activities in the classroom. The study was
initiated based on observation and interview with the teachers.
METHODS
The researchers conducted an interview with class advisers about what type of common behavior
problems they had observed from their respective classes. This study utilized Descriptive and Qualitative
methods in analyzing and comparing the gathered data. The study determines the impact of the
intervention to the learners' social involvement which lead them to develop confidence that is of great
help to academic success.
RESULTS
Results showed that the intervention lessened the number of non-participating pupils. Most of the
learners actively participated in recreational activities done in the school. Moreover, six pupils have
expressed how their self-confidence improved and expressed a new enjoyment for school. With that, the
project REST has a significant impact to the pupils' social involvement particularly in participation. It
evidently showed how their behavior improved and the courage to participate all school activities.
DISCUSSIONS
It was evident that the Project REST organized by the school helped develop pupils' self-confidence and
self-esteem. The intervention has significant impact to the pupils' social involvement particularly in
participation. A holistic view of the responses portray that the interventions served as a tool for both
child development and education.

Employing ReACos to Improve the Comprehension Level of Grade 7

Students of DLOMNHS
Hazel Faith Bulaquiña, Department of Education - Tagbina National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the competencies in reading comprehension is identifying the main idea of the text presented.
The ability to identify the main idea in a text, whether it is stated directly or inferred, is critical for
students to comprehend meaning when reading. Dante Luib Osano Maputi National High School is a
school in Tagbina II District which encountered a problem in developing such skill. The researcher and
a Grade 7 English teacher conducted a 10-item test in identifying the main idea to the 49 Grade 7
students. Based on the results, 30 (61.22%) out of 49 Grade 7 students did not meet the expectation
descriptor. There is a need to find means to solve or lift them through an intervention activity or
program. This was the reason why the researcher developed interest in conducting the study to be able
to excogitate activity in reading comprehension through ReACos (Remediation Activities for
Comprehension).
METHODS
Purposive Sampling was used in selecting the respondents in this study. All students who did not meet
the expectation descriptor in the pretest underwent Remediation Activities for Comprehension. The
researcher used frequency distribution for the listing of the scores of the respondents in the activities
including pretest and posttest and percentage to identify how many of the students passed or failed on
the Phil-IRI formula and standards. Moreover, the researcher used t-test in measuring the significant
difference of the results.
RESULTS
It has been found that there were 30 out of 49 students who did not meet the expectation descriptor
whose grade equivalent is below 75 in the 10-item Pre-Test. Thus, appropriate intervention was
conducted. After the conduct of the intervention program, the results show that there is a significant
difference between the results in identifying the main idea before and after ReACos intervention since
the p-value (0.000) is lesser than the level of significance (0.05).
DISCUSSIONS
Relative to DLOMNHS, ReACos was found to be effective in improving the Grade 7 students' reading
comprehension particularly their competence in identifying the main idea. Out of the 39 students who
underwent the intervention, there are two (2) remaining students who did not meet the expectation.
They will be given another set of activities suited to their needs and intellectual level. ReACos may be
implemented in another school to find out if it would still work out effectively as it did in DLOMNHS.

Employing Reading Exercise a Day (READ) to Develop Reading Ability
Faith Myra Polancos, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The ability to read is one of the basic skills that every learner should learn early. The record of the
Regional Diagnostic Reading Inventory in English this S.Y 2016 - 2017 suggests that the reading abilities
of the pupils are somewhat lower than their present grade level. This scenario is alarming and must be
addressed with immediacy. Reading Exercise A Day (READ) is an intervention developed by the
researcher in response to the situation. In an attempt to effectively raise the reading ability of children
under frustration, this remedial reading program was implemented.
METHODS
Result of the Phi-IRI at the start of the school year was used as the baseline data. Posttest was
conducted at the end of the intervention. Before the onset of the study, the researcher asked permission
from the school head. The materials used for the intervention were extracted from the Phil-IRI
passages. The passages were divided into fragments, e.g. words, phrases and sentences. The revised
materials were designed for an everyday exercise in reading. Each day had a specific skill being
developed. On Day 1, the recipients read words taken only from the passage. On Day 2, the recipients
read phrases found in the passage. On Day 3, sentences from the passage were read by the recipient. On
Day 4, respondents were made to read the whole passage. On Day 5, respondents were instructed to
read the whole passage again to the teacher and answering comprehension questions. In answering the
comprehension questions, the researcher allowed the recipients to give their answers in Filipino or
Mother Tongue, as long as they can express their thoughts. It was done that way since comprehension
skill was the one being measured and not communication or grammatical skill.
RESULTS
There was a decrease in the number of frustration level after the intervention was implemented. The
conduct of the intervention had an effect on the reading ability of the recipients.
DISCUSSIONS
This result is parallel to the study of Abeberese, et. al (2013), that remedial reading
program/intervention had a distinct immediate effect on student's reading skills of 0.13 standard
deviations. A similar study on the implementation of reading program e.g. Drop Everything And Read
of Cubero (2009) revealed that remedial reading programs greatly affect the reading development of
learners who suffer from reading lag.

Employing Science Formative and Summative Assessments with Filipino

Translation for Grade 10
Reziel A. Zurbano, Lopez National Comprehensive High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Science learning has always been a struggle for most Filipino students. To aid learning, Science teachers
are sent to seminars, trainings, and workshops where they learn different strategies and interventions but
these did not improve learning as shown in the Mean Percentage Score of students. According to a
survey we conducted as to how teachers and students can improve learning in Science, student
responses include providing more hands-on activities, use of video, repetition of the lesson until they
learn the competencies, translate the concepts in Filipino during discussion and they even suggested that
questions in examinations should have Filipino translation. This study attempts to determine how the
use of the national language, Filipino, can help in understanding Science concepts.
METHODS
During Science classes, instructions and concepts were translated to Filipino after reading or stating the
concepts in English. After every discussion, daily quizzes were given in English with translation in
Filipino and was applied also for summative assessments and quarterly examinations. The respondents
of this study are 173 Grade 10 students (G10-RAZ, G10-JGV, G10-MFA, and G10-NTO). One
hundred percent (100%) of the population took part in the experiment because the class MPS will be
computed at the end of the 3rd and 4th Grading Quarters. The students were also surveyed after
examinations with regards to their perception on the assessment taken with Filipino Translation.
RESULTS
Ninety-five percent (95%) of the students expressed their opinions that they understand the questions
and choices in Science examinations much better with Filipino translations. The Mean Percentage Score
of all classes under study increased except the Science-Oriented Class with the same MPS with or
without Filipino translation
DISCUSSIONS
Majority of Grade 10 students under study were able to understand and express themselves better in
Filipino than in English. The use of Filipino language in assessments help students understand the
Science concepts and thereby can better comprehend the questions in examinations. With Filipino
translation, they give time to analyze the questions before answering rather than to guess the correct
answer. From the findings, it can be concluded that students can understand Science concepts better
when translated in Filipino.

Jessa May C. Antonio, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mastery is a key factor that greatly affects a student's achievement and performance. To attain mastery,
one should incorporate various teaching materials and strategies such as ICT integration and
emphasizing active participation of students for a greater understanding of Physics concepts. For the
pretest in Physics, 21 students are on the Beginning Mastery (BM) Level and 5 students are on the
Nearing Mastery Level. Due to the alarming case of low mastery level result in Physics during pretest, a
study was made to investigate what causes the problem and implement a strategy to enhance the
students' performance in Physics. In addressing the concerns, the Project PhET Simulation is introduced
to the competencies to increase the mastery level of Grade 12 GAS students in Physics subject.
METHODS
The study used a Quantitative Correlational Method employing purposive sampling in the identification
of the respondents in the study. The respondents are 8 boys and 18 girls with a total of 26 GAS students
in BNHS. A study showed that there were 21 students or 81% who are in the Beginning Mastery (BM)
Level, 5 students or 19% are in Nearing Mastery (NM) Level, and 0 students in the Mastery (M) Level.
RESULTS
The result of the pretest shows that no students mastered the topics in Physics. In the post-test result, it
revealed that there were 0 students who are under Beginning Mastery (BM) Level, 12 students or 46%
who are Nearing Mastery (NM) and 14 students or 54% who have attained Mastery (M).
DISCUSSION
The study implies that Project PhET was an effective innovation to increase the mastery learning of the
students.

Enablers and Constraints in the Making of Action Research among

Teachers of Dr. Maria D. Pastrana National High School: Basis for Writing
Capacity Building Program
Maricel Ella, DMDPNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teachers play a crucial role in nation-building. Through quality teachers, the Philippines can develop
holistic learners who are steeped in values, equipped with 21st Century skills, and able to propel the
country towards development and progress (Mercado, 2018). With this, it is a must that teachers engage
in professional development. According to Jensen's report (cited on Merle, 2016), one of the effective
Professional Development (PD) Strategies for teachers is conducting an action research that focuses on
instruction.
METHODS
This study was conducted in Dr. Maria D. Pastrana High School involving 65 teachers. Relevant data for
this study were gathered through the researcher’s validated, self-devised questionnaire with three parts
designed to reveal the teacher respondents' (1) demographic profile according to: age, position, highest
educational attainment, length of service, number of action-research seminar attended, and number of
action research made; (2) degree of familiarity of the teacher-respondents in action-research writing
procedures/technical skills (questionnaire was adapted from Merle'sDepartment of EducationQuezon
CARES with modifications on the Likert scale used; and (3) extent of availability and accessibility of
research support system in their schools.
RESULTS
Results reveal that majority of the respondents were twenty-six (26) to thirty (30) years old, Teacher 1,
Masters' Degree undergraduates, have been teaching for one (1) to five (5) years, have not attended any
Action-Research Seminar, and have not made any action- research. In terms of familiarity with action-
research writing procedures, majority are not that familiar with the analysis of statistical data. Support
Systems were also available and accessible but in a limited range.
DISCUSSIONS
This study has a distinct contribution in capability enhancement that focused in the design of an action
research. The output of this study is intended to be an essential material for school heads/principals in
formulating an In-Service Training for teachers.

Encouraging Hundred Percent of Parents to Attend and Participate in PTA

Meetings of Primary Grades in Banga Elementary School
Maria Pena, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
We are all aware that most children have two main educators in their lives: their parents and their
teachers. Parents play the role by choosing the right path in education and support their children to
achieve their goals. Teachers mold the students intellectually, spiritually, and physically. Encouraging
parents to participate in all school activities is a difficult task for the teacher but is necessary to achieve
the highest level of development among learners. Without proper channels and communication between
them, school achievements wouldn't be possible. This research focuses on how to encourage one
hundred percent of Primary grades of Banga Elementary School parents to participate in school
activities and provide interventions that will help parents embrace the needs and support for their
involvement in every school activity.
METHODS
The researchers selected 152 parent respondents in Banga Elementary School. The researchers
conducted surveys for parents. The parents identify different factors. The data analysis plan of the
researchers includes, weighted mean, frequency, and percentage.
RESULTS
Results show that the following factors affect the parents' participation in school activities: work,
distance from the school, parental duty at home, and parent and teacher communication. Time is a
crucial factor for teachers as well as parents. Announcements of PTA meetings or any other school-
related activity should be announced as early one week in order for parents or guardians to prepare
themselves in anything that they are doing at home or workplace. Teachers must also communicate
regularly with parents through various means, providing written information in the parents' native
language. School, teachers, and parents must sit and talk about the schedule of parents that need some
adjustment in response to the issues that arose from the issue that most parents are not able to attend
meetings and participate in different activities because of work and time management. Parents must be
encouraged to come to school even without meetings to discuss and find time for them to realize that
they have special functions and participation to every school activity involving their children.
DISCUSSIONS
The result shows that there must be a good understanding between parents and teachers in terms of
communication through various means that will facilitate adjustments in time and schedules in order to
achieve 100% active participation and support of the parents in school for their children’s welfare.

Engagement Packet versus Technology-Enhanced Instructional Materials

in Mathematics for Grade 9 Students
Josephine Ramos, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Engagement Packet (EnPac) and the
Technology-Enhanced Instructional Materials (TEIMs) in the performance of Mathematics of Grade 9
students. Students’ scores in the numeracy test, first quarterly assessment test, second quarterly
assessment test, and pre-test were used to form two experimental groups using t-test of independent
samples.
METHODS
This study utilized an Experimental Method of research using Posttest-Only Control Group Design.
The first experimental group was taught using the Engagement Packet while the second group was
taught using the Technology-Enhanced Instructional Materials. The EnPac contained activities and
strategies in the form of games and puzzles while PowerPoint presentations, Internet, and Videos were
integrated in the TEIMs. After the conduct of the experiment, the posttest was given and served as the
evaluative measure to compare the academic performances of the two experimental groups. The mean
scores of the EnPac group and the TEIMs group were compared using t-test for dependent samples.
Also, using a researcher-made questionnaire, the levels of interest of the respondents in the two
treatments were determined and compared.
RESULTS
Findings showed that there was no significant difference between the mean scores of the two
experimental groups in their entry-level performances. The posttest revealed that the EnPac group got a
higher mean score and students from this group performed better than students from the TEIMs group.
It was also found that there was a significant difference between the posttest's mean scores of the two
group of respondents. The researcher concluded that games and puzzles in the engagement packet
helped in the improvement of students' academic performance in Mathematics. The respondents in both
groups were extremely interested in using the Engagement Packet and the Technology-Enhanced
Instructional Materials.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher recommends the use of games and puzzles of EnPac to encourage students' active
participation and improve academic performance in Mathematics. The Mathematics teachers may adopt
the use of the engagement packet in teaching Exponents and Radicals. Games and puzzles may be
integrated in teaching to encourage students' active participation and improve academic performance in
Mathematics.

Engaging Kindergarten Learners to Logic Using Manipulatives
Rowena Laluna
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching Kindergarten is a very challenging role for teachers. Kindergarten children as young learners
are not behaviorally developed and have difficulty paying attention for a significant period of time. In
Alupay Elementary School, Kindergarten teachers have considered an extra mile in teaching
Kindergarten logic this year by using concrete manipulatives. This piece of work therefore is considered
as an assessment of the effectiveness of the use of manipulatives in teaching Kindergarten learners to
discover different possibilities on how to equip the preschoolers the skills they need and prepare them to
be globally-competitive in the future.
METHODS
The researcher employed the Descriptive Method while targeting the concerns of Kindergarten learners
of Alupay Elementary School, one of the schools in the East District of Rosario, Batangas. The primary
source of data is the results of a teacher-made test in Logic administered to the Kindergarten learners.
RESULTS
Results reveal that objects such as balls, boxes, plates, and glass are used by teachers in teaching logic. It
can also be gleaned that the teachers also use cut-out shapes and pictures, blocks and cubes, pattern
blocks, coloring books, and story boards. Science apparatuses such as beakers and graduated cylinders
are used to show the volume of water. When it comes to students' performance in the teacher-made test,
majority of the learners got perfect scores with grouping objects getting the highest number of learners
with perfect scores. However, figures also revealed that more or less 30% of the learners got 1 out of 3
points in items that suggest that learners create own patterns and transform/translate patterns from one
form to another. The average score garnered by all learners (n=77) is 2.49.
DISCUSSIONS
The results revealed that the use of manipulatives can be of great help for student learning. However,
there are still competencies where Kindergarten learners of Alupay Elementary School have to develop.
Thus, the researcher suggests a program "MATHALINO" that encourages the use of virtual
manipulatives that are suited for the 21st Century learners. It also includes activities that promote higher
engagement of students in lessons for maximum learning potential.

Engaging Media Literacy in Developing the Critical Thinking Skills of

Junior High School Students through Symposium
Analiza Porto
(Adviser: Eric Hernandez)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Media literacy is a great tool in developing every aspect of life but can be dangerous if not used
responsibly. Public schools try to engage learners in learning its concepts but the lack of a functional
computer facility makes them stagnant in theories alone. In this study, the researchers propose a
symposium as aid for engaging students in media literacy. During the course of event, students will give
a presentation and application of their learning to develop their critical thinking skills as well.
METHODS
Using an Action Research Design, the results were compared and analyzed. A pretest was done to
determine the level of knowledge students in media literacy. A posttest was also facilitated after several
symposiums.
RESULTS
Many respondents who participated in the study perceived that symposiums can be effective in engaging
Junior High School students. As the event requires, they became aware of the advantages, disadvantages,
and limits of using media. Exercising this skill on a timely basis developed and transpired their
motivation in diversifying the use of media in a more complex and worthwhile one. It also explored
various ways of using media literacy to keep the momentum and scale up media coverage on different
issues.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate students' attraction and focus on symposiums as sources rather than reading
outdated materials alone. Acquiring a skill and making a sense of its meaning enabled them to not just
see, hear, watch, and read from media but also learn from it.

Engaging Senior High School Students through Competitive Collaboration
Leila Seco, Banaba West National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Engaged students are successful learners because they can perform better and can help their peers learn
more. It is important that teachers know how to manage the students' learning state and help them
overcome "academic burnout" (Rahmati, 2015). This paper describes the impact of competitive
collaboration on the engagement of Grade 12 students of Banaba West National High School. It also
describes the challenges met, the problems encountered, and the insights gained on the utilization of the
strategy.
METHODS
This Qualitative Action Research proceeded in three steps which are useful in collecting attitudinal data:
(1) researcher's observation on the conduct of competitive collaboration strategy in class, (2) interviews,
and (3) focus group DISCUSSIONS. Thirty-nine (39) 12th Grade students aged 17 to 21 took part in
the study. The methods used focused on the participants' experiences of competitive collaboration and
their impact to their engagement. Triangulation was used to improve the credibility of the findings of the
study.
RESULTS
The students reported that they found competitive and collaborative games to be effectively engaging
activities. They also perceived that collaborative competition had a positive impact on their learning
outcomes. They thought that the strategy provided them with feedback and an opportunity for self-
evaluation in a number of areas, including their creative skills. While the majority deemed it an effective
learning experience, some students noted its negative impact on educational value. The students noted
being out of focus because they enjoyed the competition. Others saw challenges such as uncooperative
members and those who make their classmates more confused in learning. Overall, students felt that
competitive collaboration is an effective strategy as it led them to positive anxiety, resulting in enhanced
engagement during the learning process.
DISCUSSIONS
Competitive collaboration can offer a valuable formative tool to educators to enhance student
motivation for better learning outcomes. The findings of this action research remain exploratory in
nature. More confirmatory studies may be done to further confirm the findings. Unlike other researches,
competition and collaboration were not presented as mutually exclusive terms but as complementary
concepts that educators may use to engage learners.

of such impressive potentials, a fluctuating number of Filipinos is eager to pursue the usage of English
language on a daily basis, especially in the medium of learning. Hence, many researchers believe and
proved that the ability to use two or more languages may actually serve as an important resource in the
learning process. The Philippines alone has many emergent multilingual students who have the ability to
speak multiple languages and as mentioned earlier, multilingualism opens a lot of doors to opportunities
and developments especially in the field of education. Corollary to this, the researchers looked into the
effects of English as a medium of instruction in Science to the multilingual students of Quirino General
High School.
METHODS
This qualitative research is a case study. Purposive Sampling was used to identify the potential
participants from Grade 11 multilingual students for the study. A semi-structured interview was
performed to gather data from respondents. Finally, with the use of the responses of the participants,
data analysis was conducted through value coding and thematic analysis.
RESULTS
When the respondents are asked how mastery of English language determines failure and success of
multilingual students, two themes where formed: (1) determinant for failure (inability to understand and
being left behind) and success (better understanding and mastery of subject).
DISCUSSIONS
The study found out that English language plays a big role in learning Science as a subject. Participants
comprehend the lesson better in Science when the English language is used. The researchers also
determined the problems encountered by the participants which include the use of jargons and lack of
knowledge on what words to use.

viewing skills of select Grade 8 students. It also covers the level of language performance in terms of
performance task, quarterly assessment, and written work. The problems encountered in teaching
English competencies were also considered. Moreover, the constraints of select Grade 8 students in
English Competencies and language performance were also determined.
METHODS
The study made use of descriptive type of research with a researcher-made questionnaire as the main
instrument in gathering data. In addition, interviews were also conducted to substantiate the data
gathered from the questionnaire. The study involved all 240 select Grade 8 students and 10 Grade 8
English teachers of Batangas National High School. Percentage, frequency, distributions, and mean were
the statistical methods used. The Pearson – r-Moment of Correlation was also used to determine the
relationship of the constraints.
RESULTS
Based on the results, it was revealed that the level of teaching competence as assessed by the students
was high. This is a clear manifestation of efficiency of teachers. Moreover, students have satisfactory
levels of language performance. Findings also indicate that the problems encountered in teaching
English competencies by the teachers were lack of textbooks, lack of students' confidence, use of ICT in
the classroom, poor reading comprehension of students, easily disturbed students, and lack of teacher's
guide.
DISCUSSIONS
Proposed intervention activities were prepared. The intervention activities may be used as testing
materials for improving performance. From the findings and conclusions of the study, the researcher
offered the following recommendations: (1) teachers are encouraged to prepare materials in the absence
of textbooks suited for learners to get involved in the lesson and to achieve the goal of the teaching and
learning process; (2) teachers are recommended to provide more activities that can help to boost the
confidence of the students especially in speaking English; and (3) funds for ICT materials should be
made available to support the need in every classroom.

District
Marilou P. Madamba, Aglipay West Central School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The English language is important to the learning growth of Filipino Students. This is because most of
the subjects that are taught in school use English as medium of instruction. The objective of this
research is to find out the depth of understanding and knowledge of teachers teaching English 4 in the
District of Aglipay and how they relate it to the learning process of the Grade 4 students. This study
seeks to determine the extent of realization of the general objectives of English 4. The teaching
described in terms of methods, techniques, strategies and approaches, learning materials, assessment
tools, administrative, and supervisory supports including the setbacks encountered will also be
determined.
METHODS
The Descriptive Survey Method is used in this research. The researcher used questionnaires as the
dominant data gathering instrument with the unstructured-interview as the secondary instrument to
check and countercheck the validity and reliability of the data gathered through the questionnaire. This
study has a total of 29 teacher-respondents coming from the 29 public elementary schools in the District
of Aglipay.
RESULTS
The teachers are effective in teaching English to Grade 4 students. They use different innovative
methods in order to deliver lessons so that the students will appropriately learn. They also use modern
technology to help them conduct lectures. Although they are met with challenges, they are filling the
gaps with their enthusiasm and willingness to teach. The students also face different hindrances in
learning English due to their marginal exposure in speaking the language. This is because they are not
used to speaking English. Their families are not keen on using English as a language of communication
in their homes. This is also true with their peers. Also, some students become absentees themselves due
to a variety of reasons.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers teaching English are confronted with various challenges. The teachers should have proper
knowledge and skills, attitudes, and awareness, which are key ingredients in the teaching-learning
process. They should conduct remedial teaching to those who lack comprehension skills. Home
visitation is also recommended. Administrators should look into the problems on dearth of instructional
materials. School heads should give priority to supervision of their teachers at work to help them
improve their teaching competencies.

English Language Attitude and Oral Communication Proficiency of Grade

Eleven Senior High School Students in Infanta National High School: Basis
in Designing a Language Intervention Program
Reymund Caparros, Infanta National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Despite of the modern trends in foreign language instruction, decline in English language proficiency is
still evident. Poor oral communication competence among college students can be traced back from the
training they had during high school. One of the factors that affect proficiency is their attitude towards
the English language. This study focuses on exploring the attitude towards the English language and
their oral communication proficiency. Specifically, it is intended to assess the attitude of the students
towards English language and the level of their oral communication proficiency. Moreover, the study
wants to determine if a correlation exists between the students' attitude toward English and oral
communication proficiency. This has an end view of formulating a program to maintain and enhance the
proficiency level of the students in oral communication.
METHODS
The researcher randomly selected 125 respondents out of 182 Grade 11 students through Slovin's
formula. This study employed a descriptive type of research and used a self-constructed questionnaire
and oral assessment rubric as tools in gathering data and information. Data gathered were analyzed and
interpreted using statistical tools such as mean and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient.
RESULTS
Results suggest that the respondents have a positive attitude towards English language and have
proficient level of oral communication. Furthermore, a significant relationship between the respondents'
attitude toward English language and their oral communication proficiency level exists.
DISCUSSIONS
The result affirms that attitude towards English language have a significant relationship to oral
communication proficiency. English teachers must be creative to come up with different activities that
will reinforce oral communication among students. Learning to speak a foreign language starts with a
formation of positive feelings toward the language instead of pressure, stresses, and inhibitions.

Deserie Joy Panaligan, Department Of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
English language competencies are important in the teaching and learning process wherein English is the
medium of instruction. They determine how students will be able to understand, critically examine, and
analyze knowledge pertaining to their subject. According to Blooms International (2013), English is the
gateway to a world of knowledge, commerce, and culture, a lingua franca that gives a student access to
the world in a way that other languages do not.
METHODS
The Descriptive-Correlational Method was employed in this study which involved the collection of data
in order to answer queries concerning the student's English language competencies in Bagbag II
Elementary students. The researcher adopted a questionnaire as a tool in gathering data.
RESULTS.
Based on the findings, there is no significant difference on the level of students' language competencies
when grouped according to gender. There is no significant difference on the level of students' language
competencies when grouped according to age. There is a significant difference between the ratings of
parents with different educational attainment. There is no significant relationship among students'
language competencies and academic performance to gender. There is no significant relationship among
student's language competencies, academic performance, and profile to age. There is significant
relationship among students' reading competency, academic performance, and profile as to parents'
educational attainment.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher recommends that future researchers to utilize the results as a baseline data for his or her
related research. The administration should organize trainings that will benefit English teachers such as
communicative language training program to gain more strategies and insight in teaching English
language to their pupils. School programs and activities that will showcase students English Language
competencies must be created.

English Language Proficiency and English Language Learning Difficulties

in Reading among Grade 7 Students of Infanta National High School,
Infanta, Quezon: A Basis for Intervention
Carla Villamater, Infanta NHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The fact that language is dynamic and that it has undergone many variations and alterations over the
years poses a lot of difficulties on the part of foreign language students in the primary, secondary, and
tertiary levels. This becomes a challenge for high school teachers, particularly the English Language
teachers for they are the ones in-charge of bridging the gap between the students' language learning and
language proficiency. Thus, the results of the annual conduct of Philippine Reading Inventory which is
done to determine the reading skills and the language proficiency of students revealed that there is
indeed a problem in the English language education.
METHODS
Descriptive-Quantitative Method was used in this study. It also made use of researcher-designed
questionnaire. The researcher used Random Sampling Technique and the Slovin's formula to determine
the number of respondents. Grade 7 students served as respondents. Since they are neophytes in school,
it is imperative that they be diagnosed in terms of their English language proficiency and learning
difficulties in reading.
RESULTS
The study revealed that academic performance and language proficiency of students are related to each
other. It also showed that majority of the respondents were average learners while only a small
percentage can be considered exceptional learners. Most students have average language proficiency
while no one can be considered to have absolutely no mastery. Likewise, none from the respondents can
be considered to have mastered the use of the English language.
In terms of language proficiency and reading difficulties, the respondents manifested skills in identifying
the synonyms and antonyms of words presented in the text. They also showed proficiency in literal
comprehension. On the other hand, they struggled in the following: using context clues in arriving at the
meaning of words, rules of grammar, inferential and critical comprehension, and drawing conclusions.
DISCUSSIONS
The study showed that there is indeed a gap between language learning and language proficiency. Thus,
the results demonstrate the strong need to craft a sustainable language and reading program that would
serve as a roadmap to address the problems in teaching English subjects. Furthermore, the plans should
be monitored, tested, and validated to ensure their effectiveness through related studies to be conducted
in the future.

Jackie Alaine P. Mabulac, Mitchie C. Delen, & Kenneth B. Bautista, Department

of Education - ETTMNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Today, as the world changes, the system of communication upgrades as well. Through the English Only
Policy or EOP, a number of language teachers want to improve the communication skills in English of
their students. However, studies that show the effect of EOP on the classroom participation of SHS
students are limited, specifically in ETTMNHS-ISHS. This research aims to contribute to the existing
literature of learning English as a second language and the effect of a specific strategy to attain the goals
of language learning.
METHODS
The sampling technique that was employed in this study is Simple Random Sampling involving 75
participants of which the English Only Policy is applied to their respective classes. A validated Likert
scale on classroom participation was used as the instrument.
RESULTS
Data revealed that, in general, English Only Policy has both positive and negative effects on the
student's participation. Majority of the participants agreed that EOP affects their participation positively
such as it helps them to conquer their fear in terms of reporting. Also, the participant’s competencies
using English Language greatly improved. However, the respondents reported that there are negative
effects on their class participation such as, reporting makes them anxious due to the implementation of
the EOP.
DISCUSSIONS
Findings from this research study provides a glimpse of the advantages and disadvantages of
implementing the English Only Policy inside the classroom. The decision on whether to continue the
implementation of the said program lies between weighing the pros and the cons of the program.
Moreover, further research focusing on the effect of the program on one's actual academic performance
in English should be taken into account in order to fully understand the impact of EOP on one's
English learning competencies.

English Proficiency of Elementary School Teachers, Pupils' Reading

Comprehension Level, and National Achievement Test (NAT) Performance
Fedis Marie Malacas, Department of Education - Mamatid ES
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In public schools, the English language has been used for three major subjects such as English,
Mathematics, and Science. Teachers need to be proficient in the English language for them to be able to
teach the major subjects effectively. There has been this belief that teachers’ English proficiency affects
pupil's proficiency of the language. Teachers' proficiency in the subjects they teach including
competence, as well as students' readiness to absorb what is taught them, must be the focus in
knowledge transmission through communication. Toward this end, the Department of Education
through the National Education Testing and Research Center issuedDepartment of
EducationMemorandum No. 12, S. 2012, on the administration of the Test of English Proficiency for
Teachers (TEPT) to all permanent public-school teachers.
To be able to help teachers upgrade their communication skills and English proficiency, a lot of trainings
and assessments were designed by the Department of Education. However, the results of the Test of
English Proficiency for Teachers revealed that the quality of teachers and their grasp of English are
deteriorating. Most often, Filipino teachers do not have the proficiency in using the English language.
This study is aimed to determine the relationship of Level of Teachers' English Proficiency, the Pupils'
Reading Performance, and the National Achievement Test (NAT) performance of the pupils in
Mamatid Elementary School.
METHODS
This study used Descriptive Evaluative Design which determined the relationship between the level of
the teachers' English proficiency to the reading performance and the National Achievement Test (NAT)
performance of the elementary pupils. Another research design of this study was the Documentary
Analysis used to determine the reading performance of the elementary pupils and the level of the
English proficiency of teachers
RESULTS
Results revealed that the mean percentage score of teachers' English proficiency level in three macro
skills (Reading, Writing, and Grammar) is categorized as Moderate Proficient and Low Proficient. It
means that teachers' English proficiency is not the only factor that contributes in improving reading
performance of the pupils. Moreover, the mean percentage score of teachers' English proficiency level
as categorized by moderate and low proficient explicates that the recorded significance to the increase in
NAT results for Grade 3 and Grade 6 pupils can be partly explained by the aforementioned proficiency
of the teachers. It means that the resulting small percentage can be translated to the amount of effort
exerted by the teacher towards increase in NAT performance in school.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers in Mamatid Elementary School have Moderate and Low Proficiency Level of the English
language. They have difficulties in three macro skills of proficiency such as Writing, Reading, and
Grammar. The pupils' improvement in reading performance was made possible through teachers'
persistence in planning, designing, and implementing reading programs. The teachers' English
Proficiency Level is not significantly related with the reading performance of the pupils. This means that
being proficient in the language is not a guarantee for making the pupils good or bad readers. Teachers'
dedication towards work, compassion to pupils, techniques, and strategies of teaching are still significant
contributing factors in pupils' understanding of the concepts to become good readers.

Marlou Derige, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Due to the poor performances of students in the English subject for years, the researcher was compelled
to conduct a study regarding the English Proficiency of Fourth Year High School Students of Calatagan
National High School, Calatagan, Batangas which will be used as an important basis for a proposed
action plan to address the issues.
METHODS
The study used descriptive research to assess English proficiency among fourth year high school
students. A questionnaire was the main instrument used in this study. Its principal aim was to describe
the nature of the situation as it existed at the time of the study and to investigate the level of English
proficiency of fourth year high school students.
RESULTS
The study showed that students learned much of the five (5) macro skills: listening, speaking, reading,
writing, and viewing but among the five, they all loved to listen as evidenced with a weighted mean of 5.
Furthermore, the study also showed that there were no significant differences on the responses of
student-respondents on the English proficiency of students when they are grouped according to their
profile variables.
DISCUSSIONS
Despite positive results, certain priorities must be set in order to improve the students' English
proficiency particularly in reading and in writing. English teachers must continue looking for best
approaches to be used when teaching these two macro skills.

English Reading Difficulties of Grade One Pupils: Basis for Multimedia

Instructional Intervention Scheme
Rhodora Villarama, Department of Education - San Juan East
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Problems in reading can affect performance across several academic content areas, occupational
endeavors, and other functional skills that are used in everyday life activities. The task of the school
teachers is to define those problems, targets interventions to address the problems, and help implement
and evaluate those interventions. In this study, the researcher describes the characteristics associated
with reading difficulties to develop a Multimedia Reading Instructional Reading Scheme that will focus
on the improvement of the reading abilities of the learners.
METHODS
In order to better understand the nature and cause of the problem, the researcher utilized several
methods. Respondents were randomly selected and grouped into two: The Grade One teachers and the
pupils since they are directly and indirectly involved in English reading instruction. Data were collected
through profiling and data analysis of the Phil-Iri and SReA results. Findings from these processes were
synthesized, tabulated, and encoded based on the specific problem raised.
RESULTS
Most of the pupil-respondents obtained a "Not Ready" level in the SReA. This means that the beginning
level or competencies of most grade one pupils is "Not Ready" for school across the different
developmental domains, gross and fine motor, receptive/expressive language, cognitive domain, and
socio-emotional domain. The result of the Phil-Iri revealed the low reading level of the pupils for the
last three years. It reflects that the reading level of most grade one pupils need to change in teaching
strategies and reading curriculum.
DISCUSSIONS
As the results were interpreted, a Multimedia Instructional Intervention Scheme based on the existing
English textbook and learning objectives in teaching reading in the K to 12 Enhanced Basic Education
Curriculum will be developed. It consists of varied motivation and engaging reading exercises on CD
through PowerPoint presentations that will help beginning readers to read in a step-by-step
individualized manner.

of self-confidence is linked to their poor proficiency in various language skills. In this study, the English-
speaking difficulties and their factors will be identified.
METHODS
This study made use of a descriptive research design. In gathering data, the researcher conducted
interviews wherein the respondents' own words were recorded and analyzed to identify the respondent's
English-speaking problems.
RESULTS
It was found out that (1) the English-speaking difficulties encountered by the students were: repetition
of words, expressing ideas clearly, following the basic rule of grammar, and pronouncing of words; (2)
the factors that affect students' English-speaking performance were: English teachers and their rules,
low self-confidence, nervousness, and fears towards being bullied; (3) the study showed that among 24
respondents, there were 13 respondents or 54.17% who found speaking English is an easy task, seven
respondents or 29.17% were average English speakers, three respondents or 12.5% were challenged by
speaking English, and only one student or 4.17% was poor in speaking English.
DISCUSSIONS
The STE students' English-speaking skills are expected to be exemplary. Nevertheless, the results reveal
that they are average English speakers. This showed that they still need to enhance their speaking ability.

Rodelia Dinglasan, Fritzie B. Silang, & Rowena A. Azucena, Sta. Maria ES
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The importance of English language in today's globalized world is of great value. It is a universal
passport to vast opportunities for better achievement in education and a tool to communicate
effectively. In this study, we assessed the extent of acceptance of pupils and teachers on how the
English-Speaking Policy improved the verbal communication of both pupils and teachers in Sta. Maria
Elementary School.
METHODS
The researchers distributed questionnaires, collected the data, tabulated, and analyze the results and
came up with the idea of the benefit of the English-Speaking Policy. The assessment lasted for one
week. A total of 43 pupils and 20 teachers took part in the survey questionnaires.
RESULTS
The results reveal that the campaign enhanced the ability of teachers to use English as medium of
instruction in teaching subjects like Science, Mathematics, and English. It motivates the habit of
speaking English while in school, at home, and in the community. Above all, the English-Speaking
Policy enables pupils to develop oral communication. It is believed that the English-Speaking Policy
helped and improved the pupils’ and teachers’ performances in oral communication
DISCUSSIONS
The results proved that the English-Speaking Policy expanded the oral communication skills of both
pupils and teachers. The activities that can enhance the speaking skill should be practiced regularly by
using the language in interacting inside school premises, at home, talking to peers, writing journals,
group presentations during the learning process, and E-learning sessions. Despite the problems
encountered, the English-Speaking Policy should be pushed through to overcome difficulties and
become a successful campaign.

Enhance Second Language Vocabulary Sights Level through Interactive

Strategies of Grade Five Pupils at Paaralang Elementarya ng Janaojanao
Ma Lina Fatima D Sagaral & Josephine L Sacristan, Department of Education -

Elementary
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Vocabulary learning is effective when it entails active engagement that goes beyond definitional
knowledge. In this study, the researchers classified effective and efficient strategies to improve pupils’
knowledge in second language. Different teaching strategies and methods are implemented in the K-12
Curriculum but despite that, teachers must choose and execute the most appropriate strategies for their
learners. That's the reason why the researchers decided to study how effective interactive strategies are
to improve second language vocabulary sights of their pupils.
METHODS
The researchers identified their respondents based on different criteria and utilized Stratified Random
Sampling Technique. Multiple data-gathering procedures were used namely: list of 1000 vocabulary
sights, checklist, questionnaire, and proposed interactive teaching strategies. Also, the following data
gathering tools were used: focus group discussion, survey method, and retrospective interview guide to
achieve the goals of the study. The tools and gathered data were prepared, validated, distributed, tallied,
and interpreted to identify and determine the second language vocabulary sights of pupils and discover
the proposed interactive strategies in teaching second language vocabulary.
RESULTS
The various difficulties faced by the students are as follows: (1) almost all of the students have
difficulties pronouncing the words, (2) how to write and spell, (3) various grammatical forms of words
known as inflections, (4) difficulties in choosing the appropriate meaning of the words, (5) confusion in
using the word based on the context, and (6) students were also confused when they found words or
expressions that were idiomatic. The Interactive Strategies suitable in enhancing second language
vocabulary sights levels as perceived by Grade Five pupils are student pair activities, game activities, and
brainstorming. Ninety percent (90%) of the respondents improved their vocabulary sights level.
DISCUSSIONS
Learning new vocabulary is not simply a matter of asking students to open a dictionary or their mobile
apps. In explaining new terminology, dictionaries sometimes use words that themselves need
clarification. This can become a frustrating, vicious exercise for the learner. It is hoped that frequent use
of interactive teaching strategies will help to make vocabulary enrichment more exploratory, interesting,
enlightening, and of practical value to our pupils.

Enhancing the Handwriting Skills of Select Grade One Pupils of San Felix
Elementary School through Graphological Approach
Rocelyn Preciosa, Division of Laguna, District of Victoria, San Felix Elementary

School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Handwriting is very important in the learning process of pupils. There are many approaches that can be
used to develop the handwriting skills of the learners especially in Grade 1. Graphological approach is
applied in this study. This approach is based on the hand and finger movements used to form the letters.
It is particularly helpful for learners with poor fine motor skills or who need extra practice to develop
and correct letter formation. In this kind of approach, the teacher gives different exercises in developing
the handwriting skills of the learners. The teacher introduces letter formation which involves providing
learners with opportunities to talk about the names and features of letters and the sounds they represent.
This enhances letter recognition in text. When learners practice forming letters, they develop a visual and
motor memory based on each letter’s important features. Looking at the letters and undertaking the
movement of writing then helps learners see and feel how each letter is formed and fixing the letter in
the learner's visual memory for future identification and reproduction.
METHODS
The researcher used tracing letter guides to develop the handwriting skills of the pupils. The activity was
conducted during remedial class. The pupils were given tracing letter guides. The researcher showed the
proper strokes in writing a particular letter, its corresponding sound, and then let the pupils do the
activity. The pupils needed to be familiar or have mastered writing a letter before proceeding to the next
letter.
RESULTS
After the implementation of the study, the result shows that there is improvement in the handwriting of
select Grade 1 pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
One of the macro skills that learners must acquire in school is writing. Pupils can communicate among
themselves through this skill. Improvement in academic performance will definitely be achieved.

Enhanced Digital Learning Experience in Solving Math Functions through

Augmented Reality
Sandy G. Sapong Jr., Department of Education - SPLNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
ICT integration in Mathematics education provides teachers with integrative teaching methods that
motivates student learning and active participation. However, this promising practice is dependent on
various factors such as teacher’s expertise and student’s attitude towards ICT materials. It is a challenge
to look for appropriate ICT materials and let the students understand basic mathematical concepts. The
researcher believes that augmented reality is the key to address these challenges.
METHODS
The researcher utilized augmented reality using mobile devices as direction for his action research.
Mobile apps like Photomath provides digital solving steps and graphs while Augment displays 3D
models of Mathematical functions using trackers. Using an AR worksheet, 27 students from Grade 11
STEM underwent an intervention. The researcher conducted two sets of exams before and after the
intervention. Added to the worksheet was a Math journal to record students' sentiments when using the
worksheet.
RESULTS
Test results showed that mean percentage scores during pretest was 31.78 while scores during posttest
was 37.56. In comparison, it showed that posttest MPS was 5.78 points higher than the pretest. A
positive increase in MPS resulted in an increase of Mastery of Learning (MOL) of 11.56%. The test
results suggested that the AR worksheet had an effect in relation to test scores. Through the Math
journal, the researcher found out that the intervention was easy and convenient to use. Students could
solve problems even without books and draw the exact graph. Students engage in digital learning
experiences– a common learning experience in 21st Century. Contrarily, the AR worksheet was
ineffective when there was no stable internet connectivity. Some students did not have their own
smartphones and Math solutions were not yet saved on the Photomath database.
DISCUSSIONS
There was an increase on Mean Percentage Scores between the pretest and posttest. The increase
suggests a positive impact of AR worksheets as an intervention. Augmented Reality enhanced ICT-based
instruction when learning Math concepts. This ICT-enhanced intervention may be used in other
disciplines especially when Augment apps are used. Proper training on development and preparation of
AR worksheets is needed before employing them in the teaching-learning process.

Vocabulary of the Grade 6 - Quezon Pupils
Hanerisa Macaylas, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
English is important in elementary school education because it is the best time to learn a second
language (Kristianawati, 2012). It is the foundation years for cultivating vocabularies of a child to achieve
fluency and competence.
METHODS
This study was conducted purposely to improve the limited vocabulary of the Grade 6 pupils of Cagwait
Central Elementary School of this school year 2017-2018 so as to develop their English comprehension
abilities.
RESULTS
Results showed a positive response from the pupils with regards to their participation and interest in the
activity. It was evidently observed that they pay attention and put their hearts into their work during drill
activities. Pupils' performance in the pretest have increased in the posttest. The difference shows an
improvement of pupils' performance before and after the application of the intervention.
DISCUSSIONS
Thus, with due consideration of urgency in vocabulary acquisition and demands in technology, the
teacher-researcher enhanced FWAW (Five Words A Week) using multimedia approach. This
intervention uses one story with moral lesson per week through video presentation (YouTube),
PowerPoint, or using prints with colorful pictures. The comprehension ability of the pupils was checked
through games and activity sheets in word translation, graphic charts for identifying elements of the
story, retelling, and summarizing. Likewise, each pupil has a learning journal to deposit the five words
they learned every week as a manifestation of memory banking by just writing down the five words in
their vocabulary deposit slip.

Enhanced Moral Discipline Using Proverbs as Instructional Intervention in

Improving Pupil's Behavior
Marissa Cabela, Buenavista-Cigaras ES
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
A review Tejero’s (1981) research that highlighted studies concerning pupil's discipline and behavior
confirmed that integrating proverbs in every learning area is essential in improving moral values of
pupils. In the Integration of Moral Values by Badal (1980), integration of proverbs before and after the
lesson is effective for the pupils to improve self-discipline and moral values. Taking action today to
continue to enhance moral discipline in schools, the researchers used proverbs as instructional
intervention in improving behavior of 35 Grade 6 Pupils in Buenavista-Cigaras Elementary School who
have reported problems in the Guidance Office.
METHODS
The study used observation checklist since the study was aimed to enhance moral discipline using
proverbs as instructional intervention in improving pupils’ behavior. The collected data obtained were
tabulated in tables and interpreted using simple percentage.
RESULTS
The result of the study showed the effectiveness of using proverbs as instructional intervention, 32
(91%) out of 35 pupils showed improved behaviors. As proverbs have all developed in some human
experience, pupils may recognize how these messages from the past can help inform their own
experiences. Posting these proverbs around the classroom can bring about DISCUSSIONS in class as
to their meaning and how these sayings still are relevant today. Proverbs can also support motivational
strategies that teachers may want to use in the classroom. (OW P S 21st Century Learning cited by
Benett, 2017)
DISCUSSIONS
The use of proverbs as instructional intervention in enhancing moral discipline gave value to improving
pupil's behavior.

Enhanced Reading Corner: Its Effect to Grade I Pupils' Reading

Performance
Vilma Magsumbol & Crispina Punzalan, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Numerous programs have been implemented by theDepartment of Educationin order to enhance the
reading performance of our pupils. But there are still pupils who cannot read. In this study, the
researchers explored a kind of innovation in order to develop the love for reading among Grade I
pupils.
METHODS
Interview was the main data gathering instrument employed to identify the attitudes of Grade I pupils
towards reading and its effect on pupils' reading performance. Each respondent was asked about their
feelings whenever they were told to read. This was done right after their mood was recorded by the
classroom teacher. Respondents’ answers were recorded and analyzed by the researchers. Their answers
were categorized according to the similarity of ideas. The responses were treated with great
confidentiality to take into consideration the ethical issues of the study.
RESULTS
Most of the Grade I pupils of Balangon Elementary School showed poor performance in Oral Reading
Pretest conducted by the district. Almost three-fourths of the respondents were categorized as Slow,
Very Slow, and Worst to Non-reader. Among the factors that affect the pupils’ poor performance in
reading were lack of motivation and interest to read, lack of proper reading habits, lack of attractive and
colorful reading materials, and limited space and time for reading. It was hypothesized that Grade I
pupils' attitude towards reading improved when they are surrounded with lots of attractive reading
materials. Enhanced Reading Corner inside the classroom was the output of this research wherein
respondents improved their attitude towards reading and made them interested and motivated them to
read with enjoyment.
DISCUSSIONS
Through this research, the classroom teacher found it easy to motivate the respondents to read and
explore. It was not only the genuine love for reading which was fully developed within them but also
their attitude because they learned how to follow directions and behave whenever they enter the reading
corner. Given freedom to choose the reading materials that they want also motivated them to read and
explore until they finally found reading enjoyable which was the main target of this research. This
research may serve as reflective reference preferably to all Grade I teachers nowadays who are
experiencing the same issues regarding pupils' attitudes towards reading. It emphasizes the importance
of having an enhanced reading corner inside the classroom particularly to children's literacy
development.

Enhanced Reading Intervention for 7th Grade Learners with Special

Educational Needs (LSENs) of Buhi SPED Integrated School
Isabel Sarto & Analynne Salcedo, Buhi SPED Integrated School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Every child has the ability to learn, but the way children learn and how much knowledge they can absorb
can vary considerably, especially for a child with special needs. Reading develops our mind and helps us
discover new things aside from our own experience. There are learners with special educational needs
(LSENs) who need special teaching strategies and techniques for them to be able to understand the
lesson. Most of them have difficulty in recognizing signs and have difficulty in retaining the lessons that
the teachers teach. This is the reason why the researchers very eager to find ways on how learners with
special educational needs are going to learn the easiest way considering their disability/difficulties.
METHODS
This study employed the Descriptive Survey Method of research in collecting pertinent data. The
researchers used a descriptive survey to collect data to determine the teachers' Reading Intervention for
LSENs of Buhi SPED Integrated School and answer other questions related to the study. Using
interviews, the researchers conducted group interviews. Twenty Grade 7 LSENs responded to
DISCUSSIONS. Observation on the learners while in the normal classroom setting was also done to
come up with an enhanced reading intervention for our learners.
RESULTS
Majority of the LSENs who participated in the interview admitted that they found it difficult to
recognize letters and words. That is why they could not utter accurate sounds for particular letters and
numbers. Sometimes there may be undiagnosed learning difficulties as is the case for learners who
struggle with dyslexia or slow processing. Most of the learner’s lack focus. They can be easily distracted
and sometimes refuse to follow instructions from their teachers. It is also revealed that there was no
retention as to what have been taught by the teachers.
DISCUSSIONS
The results suggest that there needs to be more strategies and techniques for teachers to face the
challenge on how to help learners to read. It takes a lot of dedication, time, perseverance and patience,
and motivation in terms of teaching LSENs especially those who have difficulty in reading and
concentrating. Families of LSENs are also encouraged to participate in this endeavor. Educating family
members and other support networks is a must for the improvement of the learners.

Enhancement of Initiating Activities to Support the Whole Child of

Language Teachers of a Public School
Teresita Dumoran
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The present study determines the enhancement of the initiating activities that support the whole child of
language teachers of a public school. Specifically, the research seeks to answer the following questions:
(1) What is the “personological” of the respondents in terms of: length of service, gender, grade level
handled, and rank?; (2) What is the assessment of teachers of their initiating activities as language
teachers which support the whole child in terms of creating space, setting rules, procedures planning,
and setting of a language classroom?; (3) Is there a significant difference in the assessment of teachers of
their initiating activities as language teacher which support the whole child when they are grouped
according to profile?; and (4) In the event of the study, what enhancement activities can be suggested to
improve their support to the child?
METHODS
For “Creating a Space,” the overall mean is 3.71 with a verbal interpretation of “Always.” For “Setting
rules and Procedures,” the overall mean is 3.47 with a verbal interpretation of “Sometimes.” For
“Planning,” the overall mean is 3.47 with a verbal interpretation of “Sometimes.” In “Setting up a
Language Classroom,” the overall mean is 3.49 with a verbal interpretation of “Sometimes.”
RESULTS
Of the 24 teacher-respondents, 12 respondents or 50% of all respondents rendered service for less than
10 years. 4 of the respondents or 16.7% of all respondents have rendered service for 10 years, and 8 of
the respondents or 33.3% of all respondents rendered service for more than 10 years. Fifty percent of
the teachers have just started teaching or are quite new in the service. Summarily, the variable “Creating
Space” got the highest mean of 3.71 with a verbal interpretation of “Always” while the variable
“Planning” got the lowest mean of 3.47 with a verbal interpretation of “Sometimes.” The overall mean
is 3.54 with a verbal interpretation of “Always.”
DISCUSSIONS
Regardless of the teacher-respondents' length of service and gender they all have the same practices and
concerns when it comes to initiating activities as language teachers. However, they differ in terms of the
grade level they handled and their rank. It can be concluded that they have different practices and
concerns because the abilities and characteristics of their classes also vary. In terms of rank, those with
higher rank have already gained experiences and trainings which help them improve their teaching
practices in language class.

Enhancement Activities: Its Effectiveness in Teaching Mathematics for

Grade Two Pupils at Ithan Elementary School
Rosediminda Cruz, Department of Education - Rizal Division
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics education has become an absolute necessity for every individual in modern society. For
some pupils, learning mathematics is easy and exciting. Yet for many pupils, it is a difficult process and a
constant struggle. They have difficulties acquiring literacy and numeracy skills that interfere with their
progress in school, requiring special assistance from their teachers. Teachers play a major part in the
teaching process.
METHODS
The researcher used the experimental method of design. It contains activities like riddles, worksheets,
games, puzzles, graphic organizer, and Computer-Aided Instruction. It was validated by ten master
teachers and experts in Binangonan II District. The respondents were the fifty (50) Grade 2 pupils of
Ithan Elementary School, section Sampaguita (control group) and section Rose (experimental group).
They were chosen through random sampling. The statistical treatments used were mean, standard
deviation, t-test, and mean percentage scores.
RESULTS
The control group obtained a mean score of 12.5. Similarly, the experimental group obtained a
satisfactory performance in the pretest with a mean of 11.1. The computed standard deviation of 2.417
and 3.640, respectively, revealed that there is homogeneity among the pretest scores of each group. In
the posttest, the control group obtained a mean score of 16.5, verbally interpreted as “Satisfactory.”
Likewise, the experimental group obtained a mean score of 18.4, also interpreted “Satisfactory.”
Findings indicate that there was an increase in posttest upon utilization of the enhancement activities.
The level of performance of the group unexposed to developed enhanced activities is higher in the
posttest than the pretest. The level of performance in the posttest of the group exposed to the
developed enhancement activities is significantly higher.
DISCUSSIONS
Results imply that the pupils acquired the significant knowledge and skills after activities. With this, the
researcher recommends modification of the developed enhancement activities. Teachers should be
encouraged to develop instructional materials in order to provide and promote effective teaching-
learning process. The school administration can extend their support for the printing of the enrichment
activities. And lastly, future research may be conducted on the effectiveness of the enrichment activities
considering other factors and variables.

Enhancement Measures of Project REA (Reassuring that Everyone is

Active) for WINS at Durungao Elementary School
Rhea Torres, Department of Education - San Luis
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Children spend most of their time for learning in schools. Every child friendly school requires
promotion of health, adequate water and sanitary facilities, and proper practices conducive to
maintaining health. An efficient and effective implementation of WINS to learners can help them to
become healthier and perform better in school. Through this study, the researcher wishes to have a
sustainable WINS for a healthy school environment for the pupils of Durungao Elementary School.
METHODS
This research study employed the descriptive type of research to determine development observed after
the implementation of the action plan of WINS in DES. An observation checklist was used by the
researcher. This tool provided information on changes on how well the facilities and practices of WINS
in DES were utilized. The researcher used the non-sampling procedures including all the teachers. All
the data were organized and consolidated in a series of tables with analysis and interpretation.
RESULTS
There were no handwashing facilities outside the classrooms of the school grounds at DES in School
Year 2016-2017. Only a lavatory was present in the school canteen. DES has only 3 comfort rooms for
the reason that the administration has not decided where to place an additional segregated, male and
female comfort rooms. Last School Year, there was a great problem in potable water in DES due to
scheduled access to water supply controlled by the barangay due to water tank damage. There was no
designated sanitary area (for students with periods) in DES a year ago because it was usually done by
female pupils in the shared comfort rooms. After implementing the action plan, handwashing facilities
are visible and functional. Separate comfort rooms for male and female were constructed and being
used by the pupils properly. Potable water became accessible, sustainable, clean, and safe. Sanitary
rooms are present and functional.
DISCUSSIONS
The enhancement measures used in the continuous reorientation of WINS program to pupils, teachers,
and different stakeholders. The researcher recommends tapping more stakeholders and partners in the
construction and improvement of hand washing facilities. Separate comfort rooms with urinals for male
pupils are being considered. Measures must be made to monitor if the pupils apply learned hygienic
practices at home. Close monitoring and evaluation of the program must be implemented to reassure
that everyone is active for WINS at DES.

Enhancement of Academic Performance of Technical-Vocational and

Livelihood Students through Motivational Strategies in Senior High School
in Tuy
Abigail Aleth Bacit & Jennilyn Nimo
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Motivation is defined as a force for someone to be able to do something. It is claimed to make one able
to influence someone to behave in a particular way. The Grades 11 and 12 Senior High School students
enrolled in the Technical-Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) track seem to exhibit low interest in
performing academically and settling only for mere passing standards of academic performance. This
study aims to enhance the performance of TVL learners through the use of different motivational
strategies such as using positive competition, reward system, and self-reflection, among others.
METHODS
The study utilized the Descriptive Method of Research. The proponents of the research have designed
survey questionnaires along with a set of semi-structured questions as main data gathering instruments.
The researchers collected data from 408 or the whole population of the TVL students of the Senior
High School in Tuy who are composed of EIM, ICT, HE, and Automotive Strands. The frequency,
percentage, and weighted mean were the statistical treatments used for the quantitative analysis of the
data gathered.
RESULTS
The study revealed that most of the students who participated in the survey perceived that motivational
strategies were effective in enhancing their academic performance along with the improvement in
numbers of learners who frequently do not attend classes. This shows that learners could actively
participate in class and express their thoughts and feelings as well as work with a group whenever their
morale are boosted and when they receive different motivating factors. However, there are still few
students who are not persuaded easily due to their life circumstances and chooses to stay lenient in their
academic tasks.
DISCUSSIONS
The students demonstrate the acceptance and utilization of different learnings through life lessons and
motivation. Reward system, recognition, giving them a sense of control, and self-reflection are some of
the most applicable and effective ways to promote academic performance. On the other hand,
motivation alone is not sufficient if consistency is not maintained. Imposition of school rules must also
be enforced.

Enhancement of Coping Strategies on Stresses Encountered by the Public

Elementary School Teachers in San Nicolas District, Division of Batangas
Maricel Casabuena & San Nicolas Central School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching is the noblest profession. Educators are bound to mold the youth morally and academically.
The baseline of quality education begins in the elementary schools. Thus, elementary school teachers are
vital inputs in the educational organization in bringing about quality education. However, teachers' stress
may be a barrier to learning for students. It is also relevant to identify not only the sources of stress but
also the strategies teachers apply to cope with stressful situations. The researcher deemed it necessary to
conduct this study to identify the sources of stress and coping strategies adopted by elementary school
teachers in the district to stay in their profession.
METHODS
This study was anchored on the concept of the Person-Environment (P-E) Fit Theory and Coping
Strategy Factors. The Input-Process-Output Model was utilized. The Descriptive Method of research
was employed and the questionnaire was utilized for gathering the data needed. Ninety (90) public
school teachers participated as respondents. The weighted mean and coefficient of correlation were
applied to statistically treat the data.
RESULTS
Significant findings were revealed in this study. As a whole, the stress experienced in role conflict, time
pressure, and rewards and recognition were moderately felt by the teachers. The teachers utilized the
strategies in coping with stress to a great extent. The coping strategies significantly affected stress
encountered and experienced by the teachers as sustained by the computed correlation of 0.911 which
was higher that the critical r-value of 0.751 using 5 degrees of freedom at the 0.05 level of significance.
Hence, the hypothesis of the areas of relationship was rejected.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the highlights of the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: teachers moderately felt
the stresses encountered in role conflict and time pressure while the stresses in awards and recognition
were less felt. The utilization of strategies in coping with stress that the teacher adopted were adopted to
a great extent except avoidance focus which was utilized to a moderate extent. The strategies utilized by
the teachers significantly addressed or enabled them to cope with the stresses to a great extent. An
action plan was proposed to overcome stress encountered by the teachers.

with Diagrams in Science 6 (ELSA- MCQ'S)
Marie Celine Rebong & Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Banca-Banca Elementary School obtained the lowest National Achievement Test (NAT) results for
three consecutive school years. This research obtained significant changes on the skills of Grade 6
pupils in answering multiple choice-type of questions using diagrams as question reference.
METHODS
The Descriptive Research Method was employed in this study. The subject and the setting of the
research were the ten (10) selected Grade 6 pupils of Banca-Banca Elementary School. The data
collected used a series of tests (pretest and posttest). The statistical test used was one group pretest
posttest design. The difference in the pretest and posttest concluded that the intervention enhances
pupils' performance in Science. The enhancement sessions done were able to improve the learners' skill
in answering multiple choice-type questions. The indicator of the improvement was the increased mean
level of the learners' result in the posttest given after the enhancement.
RESULTS
Prior to the conduct of the study, the mean level of Grade 6 pupils in answering questions in Science
fell at 22.40% Mean Percentage Score (MPS). After the implementation of the study, an MPS of 56.20%
was obtained which indicates that the enhancement had a positive effect. In view of the aforementioned
findings, the study has drawn the conclusion that the enhancement sessions conducted improved
learners’ their skills in relating diagrams to the questions and develop the process of observation and
analysis before answering.
DISCUSSIONS
The implementation has successfully improved learners' understanding of the use of diagrams as
reference in answering multiple choice-type questions. The findings of the study resulted in the
following recommendations: (1) use enhancement sessions or activities to improve the learners’ mastery
on least-learned competencies; (2) least-learned competencies in Science shouldn't be disregarded but
should be emphasized instead; and (3) continuous implementation of the enhancement session using
different strategies should be done.

Jairo Baluyo, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study aims to determine the assessment of the enhancement of mastery on basic mathematical
operations. Specifically, the study seeks to determine the following: (1) profile of the respondents
regarding age, sex, parents' highest educational attainment, grade in mathematics, family average income,
and time spent in studying mathematics; (2) enhancement of mastery on basic mathematical operations
according to the teaching-learning process, student attitude towards Mathematics, and demographic
factors; and (3) significant relationship between the extent of enhancement of mastery of basic
mathematical operations and their general average in mathematics across selected profile variables of the
respondents.
METHODS
The respondent’s profile and the enhancement of mastery on basic mathematical operations were
statistically treated and tallied using frequency and percentage formula. Levels of satisfaction by the
weighted mean formula aided by a Five-Point Likert scale and the relationship between the respondents'
enhancement of mastery on basic mathematical operations across the selected profile variables were
analyzed using Pearson’s R-correlation.
RESULTS
From the analysis of the data gathered in the study, the findings were: (1) most of the respondents spent
studying Mathematics for 30 minutes; (2) the enhancement of mastery on basic mathematical operations
teaching-learning process, students attitude towards mathematics, and demographic factors were
described as "Moderately Agree;" and (3) that the teaching-learning process and students’ attitude
towards Mathematics has an effect on the students' enhancement of mastery on basic mathematical
operations. Demographic factors do not affect the enhancement of mastery on basic mathematical
operations.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the researcher recommends the following: (1)
conduct a similar study focusing on the effect of the extent of enhancement of basic mathematical
operations on students' performance in Mathematics; (2) the teacher may use the different conventional
methods of teaching Mathematics instead of the traditional method; (3) the student must be encouraged
and get more attention from their teacher when they are performing or having a hard time in
Mathematics; and (4) the school may have a monitoring routine for the Mathematics teacher on how
they effectively teach Mathematics to their student.

Famaran, Reylinda S.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
During the enrollment for School Year 2017-2018, the Mathematics Department of San Jose
Community High School conducted the Mathematical Ability Test in Multiplying Numbers for Grade 7
students. The students answered the questions orally. The results were identified using the scale of
Mastery, Instructional, and Frustration. Based on the results, 39% or 167 students out of 540 students
fall under frustration level and that led the researchers to conduct the study. The researchers conducted
a one (1) month program with eight (8) sessions every afternoon at 4:00-5:00. Different tricks and
activities in multiplying numbers were given by the researchers. The students were divided into 3 sets to
closely monitor the progress of the students. The researchers believe that practice is the best way to
improve one's mathematical skills.
METHODS
The Descriptive Method was used in the study. The researchers utilized different kind of tricks and
strategies in multiplying numbers like hand tricks, manipulative popsicle sticks, showing videos, and
mental math. The researchers applied some modification in using the t-test for correlated means and
computed to find the significant difference in the students' achievement level.
RESULTS
Based on the result of the mathematical ability test with the scales of frustration, instructional, and
mastery, there are 167 students or 31% who got the frustration level, 208 students or 39% who got the
instructional level, and 165 students or 30% who got the mastery level. Since the result shows there are
some students who belong to the frustration level, the researchers decided to implement the program
for remediation. There are 167 students or 39% who fall under the frustration level in Mathematical
ability test of the Grade 7 students during enrollment in School Year 2017-2018.The result of the pretest
is lower than the result of the posttest. There was a significant difference between the pretest and
posttest of the performance level of the Grade 7 students in multiplying numbers. The Project
"Stratricks Mulnum" has a positive effect on the performance of the Grade 7 students in multiplying
numbers.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the above conclusions of the research, the following recommendations were suggested: (1)
adopt the program in formal classroom settings; (2) allow the students to apply the strategies and tricks
in multiplying numbers; and (3) future researchers should make use of the program in other areas of
Mathematics.

Enhancement of Oral Communication Skills of Intermediate Pupils through

Cooperative Learning Approach
Rose Anne Evangelio, San Juan West Central School/ San Juan West District
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Globalization paves way for educational reforms that continuously bring change and challenges into the
classrooms to be responsive to 21st Century education. One of the challenges in this era roughly
includes pupils’ communication skills using the English language. There are many pupils who find these
skills to be stumbling blocks to their progress. The researcher seeks to identify and describe the levels of
oral communication skills using English language of the intermediate pupils through the Cooperative
Learning Approach.
METHODS
The researcher utilized the Descriptive Method of research. A survey was also administered to the total
population of the intermediate pupils. Furthermore, the scores in oral performances of the intermediate
pupils were also used as data to achieve other objectives of the study. The researcher used multiple
scales in determining the responses of the subjects of the study. The researcher has also drawn a range
of different procedures such as observations, interviews, oral performance records, and questionnaire
for the acquisition of relevant data necessary in this study.
RESULTS
Based on the interview and observation, the researcher perceived that an average number of pupils can
communicate well in their respective classes. The researcher found out that pupils were unable to
participate in classroom discussions because some pupils are afraid of making grammatical and
pronunciation mistakes and that their classmates make fun of them because they have deficient
vocabulary. The results of the research communicate that a high portion of the respondents recognize
the benefit of cooperative work in improving their oral communication skills.
DISCUSSIONS
Direct evidence showed that cooperative learning can be used in art, science, language explorations, or
virtually any curriculum area. The result of the study offered the teacher to prioritize developing
activities which let the pupils discuss social issues and activities which will minimize their fear of making
grammatical and pronunciation mistakes. The findings of this study may motivate policy-makers and
curriculum planners to place due emphasis on the importance of classroom communication towards the
improvement of academic performance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The main objective of this study is to find out the empirical effectiveness of Suggestopedia, a humanistic
teaching method, in the oral reading comprehension level of Grade 10 frustration students using the
Quasi-Experimental Research Design.
METHODS
The subjects are the frustration Grade-10 students of New Society National High School, General
Santos City. The experimental group is exposed to Suggestopedic reading sessions and the control
group was subjected to the traditional method. The data were collected by conducting pretest and
posttest using the Basic Reading Inventory. Mean and t -test were used to statistically identify the
difference of the mean scores.
RESULTS
Pretest results show that there is no significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental
and control group. However, after the conduct of the intervention, data revealed that there is
significant difference between the posttest mean scores of the experimental and control group. The
experimental group showed a higher or twice the mean score of the control group. The experimental
group improved to instructional from frustration level while the control group remained in the
frustration level in oral reading comprehension.
DISCUSSIONS
Therefore, the researcher concluded that Suggestopedia is significantly effective in enhancing the oral
reading comprehension level of the students.

Enhancement of Parents’ Participation in Sustaining the Safe Learning

Environment of Padre Castillo Elementary School
Fraida Delas Alas, Department Of Education, Division Of Batangas Province
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Parents' participation lead to sustaining the safe learning environment of Padre Castillo Elementary
School. The problem of having a low number of parents in school during school activities and programs
became the primary concern. Only guardians are sent to school to attend meetings and stay for an hour
to help and support the program. The school is left behind in Department of Education programs. To
resolve this, the faculty encourage parents to extend their help in school and attend and support the
school’s activities in support of the Department of Education program. A proposed plan of activities
was presented to address the problem.
METHODS
Data gathering tools such as questionnaire and retrospective interview guide were used to achieve the
objectives of this study. In the desire to obtain substantial data on the number of parents’ participation
in school, an interview with class advisers was conducted to confirm the inferences based on
observations.
RESULTS
Based from the findings, the study achieved its objective of enhancing parents’ participation in
sustaining the safety learning environment of the school. Tables also showed that the Brigada Eskwela
program gathered the greatest number of parents participating in a school activity. It suggests that
parents realized the importance of parents’ participation in the success of a school's program.
DISCUSSIONS
Encouragement is the key word in gaining parents’ participation in school programs and projects.
Parents were actively involved in the Brigada Eskwela activities held last May 15 - 20, 2017. Zumba at
5am served as a warm up activity to boost parents' and teachers’ energy to work for the day. Because of

Raquel Javier, Department of Education - Batangas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In view of the foregoing rationalization, the researcher was motivated to conduct a study on improving
the reading comprehension ability of pupils. The researcher hopes that this study will greatly benefit the
teachers in improving their instructional competencies as well as the pupils in terms of their
improvement of reading comprehension skills.
METHODS
A Multiple Method Design was used. First, the pupils' reading abilities were diagnosed through a series
of diagnostic tests in reading comprehension from which their strengths and weaknesses were
determined. The Pull-out Technique in which the pupils were grouped homogeneously according to
their reading abilities and difficulties was employed so that the fast, average, and slow learners were
grouped separately. The researcher also exposed the pupils to consistent drills and practice in reading.
The monitoring of the activities and keeping abreast with the contents of reading comprehension
materials patterned after the Phil-IRI type followed.
RESULTS
A reading comprehension enhancement program patterned after the principle of Continuum of Literacy
Instruction can be designed and implemented in the school to further improve the pupils' reading
comprehension skills along with their performance in Phil-IRI. This program also represents consistent
drills and practice in reading. Furthermore, the role of the school and the school heads and teachers
must be specified in this program to ensure their maximum participation.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate that English teachers must be cognizant of the significance of the dimensions
of reading comprehension and follow to the letter the effective steps and procedures in conducting
classroom instruction relative and responsive to the area of concern.

INTRODUCTION
This study determines the reading comprehension skills of the Grade 6 pupils in Bato District, Division
of Camarines Sur as basis for a proposed training design to improve academic performance. It drew out
the profile of reading comprehension skills of the Grade 6 pupils of Bato District in terms of Noting
Details, Sequencing Events, Getting the Main Ideas, Organizing Ideas, Predicting Outcomes,
Summarizing Ideas, Evaluating Ideas, Getting the Meaning of the Word, and Identifying Character
Traits and assessed the enhancement activities employed by the teachers and its effectiveness. A training
design was formulated to improve the reading comprehension skills of the Grade 6 pupils.
METHODS
This study used the Descriptive-Inferential Correlational Method of research with documentary analysis.
The researcher utilized the standardized test on the reading comprehension skills formulated and
validated by Dr. Estelita Detal and questionnaire-checklist/rating scale to assess the activities employed
by the teachers, their effectiveness, and intervention strategies. Frequency count, percentage, rank,
proficiency level, weighted mean, Kruskall Wallis One Way ANOVA, Kendall Coefficient of
Concordance W, and Chi-square (x2) were used to treat the data statistically.
RESULTS
The performance level of the Grade 6 pupils in the different skills was considered above target. The
teachers employed various activities and intervention strategies which include procurement of
instructional materials and equipment, more reading materials, and more classroom practices to enhance
the reading comprehension skills. The proposed training design for the teachers is expected to enhance
the reading comprehension skills of the Grade 6 pupils in Bato District, Division of Camarines Sur.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers should first determine the strengths and weaknesses of the pupils and look for strategies suited
to the needs of their level. School heads must institutionalize reading activities within the daily-
supervised study period and should closely conduct monitoring and evaluation of pupils' reading
proficiency level. The use of TV Ads and educational technologies are much needed. There should be
strong parent involvement in school reading activities by setting up community reading areas and
complementing reading sessions with feeding programs to inculcate love for reading. Teachers must
utilize the developmentally-rich library and established library hours. Implementation of training design
is highly needed.

Enhancement of Reading Comprehension Skills of Grade Six Pupils

through Localized Learning Material
Lorynel De Sagun, Department of Education - Tayabas City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The current national educational policy embodied by the "No Child Left Behind Act" requires that all
learners meet academic standards required. But the first quarterly test results in English (S.Y.2017-2018)
reveals low mean percentage scores due to least learned competencies pertaining to reading
comprehension. Meanwhile, the Philippines’ Informal Reading Inventory Pretest in June 2017 showed a
greater number of pupils under frustration (lowest) level. A study by Ilagan (2015) suggests that the use
of localized learning materials develop reading comprehension easier. RA10533 Sec. 5, which
encourages development of locally produced learning materials, prompted the researcher to enhance
reading comprehension skills of Grade 6 pupils using a localized learning material.
METHODS
This study utilized Quantitative Quasi-Experimental Design. Questionnaires served as primary data
gathering instrument. Respondents were chosen purposively. Pretest and posttest were administered to
3 sections of Grade 6 with 85 pupils in Tayabas West Central School II. Phil-IRI pretest posttest was
used to evaluate pupils’ level of reading comprehension. Development and validation of a learning
material was conducted. The questionnaire on the level of acceptability of the learning material was
administered to 34 English teachers and 15 selected administrators in the Division of Tayabas City.
Weighted mean and one-way ANOVA were used to treat the data.
RESULTS
The Pretest Posttest results show that the least learned competencies in English 6 (First Quarter) were
(1) evaluating narratives based on how the author developed the elements; (2) plot, theme, point of
view; and (3) determining tone, mood, and purpose of the author. There exists a significant difference
between pretest and posttest results. Thus, the null hypothesis was rejected. Based on Phil-IRI reading
comprehension posttest result after the use of the material, the number of pupils under frustration level
decreased while number of pupils under instructional and independent level increased. Lastly, the
localized learning material workbook is strongly acceptable to all Grade 6 teachers and selected
administrators in Tayabas City.
DISCUSSIONS
Learners' reading comprehension skills increased when a localized learning material was utilized.
Learners' ability to comprehend was influenced by the medium used in the text. Providing quality texts
for students to "read to learn" will help learners understand the contents better. Furthermore, educators
are encouraged to develop learner materials appropriate to the local context and can best help students
learn.

Enhancement of Science Process Skills among the Grade Eight Learners in

San Nicolas National High School
Camille Ann Atienza, San Nicolas National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the most important goals of Science education is to teach students how to get involved in
inquiry. In other words, students should integrate skills, knowledge, and attitudes to develop a better
understanding of scientific concepts. Teachers must focus on teaching Science skills such as facts,
concepts, and theories to encourage students in scientific investigation. Science process skills are skills
we use to create information, think of a problem, and formulate results. We can make learners learn and
understand their life by enabling the learners gain these important skills. Teachers are supposed to
inculcate these Science process skills to gain higher order thinking skills. Hence, Science process skills
should be assessed if there is an enhancement or improvement in an individual.
METHODS
The research made use of the Descriptive Method of Research utilizing a self-made questionnaire as the
main data gathering instrument. Respondents were all Grade 8 learners enrolled in San Nicolas National
High School, San Nicolas District.
RESULTS
The performance of the learners in Science was satisfactory after enhancing the Science process skills as
assessed by the learners themselves. Understanding the information and skills conveyed during the
different activities conducted was very satisfactorily performed by the learners. Collecting scientific
information on their own was also satisfactorily performed by the learners. The findings also reveal that
the enhancement of Science process skills was all slightly enhanced except in “Classification.” It was
also exposed that the teaching strategies were satisfactorily utilized by the teachers in enhancing the
different Science process skills. It was also shown that teaching strategies utilized by the teachers did not
significantly affect the learners' performance in Science.
DISCUSSIONS
It is recommended that the teachers should be encouraged by the school head to improve the
development of Science process skills through the provision of meaningful Science activities. The
school heads should conduct frequent classroom observation to assist the teachers in adopting teaching
strategies. As the Science process skills were slightly developed, the teachers should utilize strategies that
are suited to the learning styles of the learners. The teachers and school head should spend time to
carefully study the proposed action plan so modifications can be made before its implementation.

Enhancement of Science Process Skills of Grade 7 Students in Learning

Physics: Basis for the Development of e-Learning Resource Materials
Arnel Evangelista, Department of Education - Batangas Province
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Learning Physics is tedious as it requires students to develop their Science process skills such as
observing, communicating, classifying, measuring, inferring, and predicting. These skills are said to be
the foundation towards the improvement of problem-solving skills and technical skills. However,
learning sometimes becomes boring and limiting with the use of traditional teaching materials. In this
case, the aforementioned scientific skills will not be developed comprehensively among students. It is in
this light that the researcher intends to develop e-learning resource materials, which are based on how
Science process skills were enhanced among Grade 7 students in learning Physics.
METHODS
A descriptive method of research was used in order to describe, analyze, and interpret data on the basic
Science process skills of the respondents. In this method, the study involved the acquisition of factual,
accurate, and systematic data which were used in averages, frequencies, and statistical calculation. 250
Grade 7 students participated in this study and answered a researcher-made test. To come up with
pertinent findings and to provide credible recommendation, this study utilized various sources of data.
Data was obtained from the questionnaires for the student who would measure students' perception of
the accessibility, accuracy, usability, and dependability of e-learning resource materials.
RESULTS
The developed e-learning resource materials were utilized as instructional materials in Physics for Grade
7 students. A summative evaluation to test the effectiveness of the e-learning was conducted. It was also
revealed that there was a need to provide real-life situation activities or problem-solving-based questions
or statements to further develop students' process skills in Science. Upon utilization of the e- learning
materials, they were found to be helpful and effective tools in learning Physics.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that the developed and validated e-learning
materials be used as supplementary materials in teaching concepts in Physics, development of critical
thinking, and as a material for learning difficulty remediation. Teachers should develop learning
materials like e-learning in their own area of specialization following the methodology presented in this
study. The Division of Batangas, Province, through its school board, initiated efforts to support the
mass production of the developed and validated e-learning materials in Physics.

Enhancement of the Oral Reading Fluency of Grade 9 Students in

Lumbang na Matanda National High School
Ma. Jane De La Cruz, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Oral reading fluency is the ability to read connected text quickly, accurately, and with expression. It is
one of the several components required for successful reading comprehension. It is one of the most
important skills that a language student should be able to develop as early as in Kindergarten. Poor oral
reading fluency is considered as one of the major setbacks in language teaching. In this study, the
researchers identified the factors that affect the oral reading fluency of the Grade 9 students as well as
ways to improve the said skill.
METHODS
The Descriptive Method of research was utilized by the researcher. Through thorough reading and
research, a questionnaire was successfully made. Seventy-four (74) Grade 9 students answered the
questionnaire. Several statistical tools were also employed to acquire accurate results.
RESULTS
The common problems encountered by the students were: (a) incorrect pronunciation; (b) incorrect
phrasing; (c) reversal; and (d) repetition. It was revealed in the research conducted that the most
common problem encountered by the students when it comes to oral reading is incorrect pronunciation
while the least common problem is reversal. The common strategies utilized by the teacher were: (a)
teaching vocabulary words; (b) teaching homographs; (c) visiting informative places; and (d) teaching
homophones. It was also revealed that the most effective strategy utilized by the teacher is teaching
vocabulary words and the least effective strategy is visiting formative places.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings in this study suggest that the teachers must exert more effort in correcting common
problems of the students in oral reading fluency. The teacher must provide interesting reading materials
that would encourage students to reading. The problems revealed in this study must be addressed in
order to formulate remediation activities in improving oral reading fluency. Moreover, the teaching
force must strengthen the school’s developmental reading program.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study was conducted to determine the extent of bullying experiences of Grade 9 students and its
effects on their behavior in the school since bullying is one of the biggest problems encountered in
schools nowadays. Some of the students get bullied by their classmates in classrooms. This study aims
to provide students and teachers guides to help students address the effects of bullying.
METHODS
The researcher used the Descriptive Method of research and the questionnaire as the main data-
gathering instrument. The study involved 15 student-respondents.
RESULTS
Results reveal that the student-respondents sometimes experienced bullying as evidenced by the average
weighted mean of 1.83 as assessed by the students themselves. Being teased or called by different names
such as “fatty,” “pig,” “teacher's pet,” and the like were often experienced by them as revealed by the
highest weighted mean of 3.4. However, they seldom experience being threatened. The average
weighted mean of 3.66 showed that the bullying cases affected the students' behavior at school to a
great extent as assessed by the teachers and students as indicated by the mean rating of 3.58,
respectively.
DISCUSSIONS
The study endeavored to determine the extent of bullying incidents experienced by the students and
assess the effects of bullying in the behavior of Grade 9 students in Gov. Feliciano Leviste Memorial
National High School during school year 2017-2018. With this, the action plan made must be taken into
consideration to make a difference in the behavior of the students.

Enhancement Program in Translating Verbal Expression into an Algebraic

Expression among Grade 7 Students at Francisco Osorio National High
School Year 2017 - 2018
Genevieve Carrillo, Hermilyn V. Ejanda, & Sherrylyn B. Aclan
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study is purposively conducted as a result of an impending regression rate of the Learning
Outcome Assessments (LOA) among Grade 7 students in English and Mathematics. One of the factors
is the level of comprehension in verbal translation. Above all the provision of curriculum guides and
learner's materials and modules in Mathematics, the breach in verbal translation and comprehension is
usually neglected. The authors provided substantial materials and enhancement programs in bridging
this comprehension gap among the learners in problem-solving. This learning material was developed
using a carefully designed, innovative, and facilitative process to produce best learning outcomes as
possible.
METHODS
Descriptive-Comparative Analysis was used in the study. One hundred eighteen (118) Grade 7 students
within the frustration level from the PHIL-IRRI Standardized Reading Test were given intervention
using the designed module.
RESULTS
Most of the respondents can identify Mathematical symbols and translate word problems into
Mathematical equations better than translating verbal phrases into algebraic expressions. It is highly
evident that there is significant difference between the pretest and posttest when the intervention
program was introduced.
DISCUSSIONS
Daily assessment results measured student performance level in translating verbal expressions into
algebraic expressions and word problems into mathematical expressions. Results indicate that 47.5% of
the respondents can translate verbal expressions into algebraic expressions and almost 70% of them can
translate word problems into mathematical equations. Lack of comprehension, misplacement of
variables, and translation of symbols are significant difficulties of the respondents. The authors
recommend future researchers to integrate self-direction into strategic cooperative learning to utilize and
maximize the tools used in the intervention program.

(Strengthening Aldeans' English Performance)
Arra Joy Pederez, Aldea NHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The Philippines was tagged as the world's best country in English performance in not just one but two
consecutive years. Based on the BEI Report in 2012, only the Philippines attained a score above 7.0,
putting the country within range of high performance that indicates an ability to lead discussions and
perform complex tasks. Moreover, in the 2013 BEI report, the Philippines earned a score of 7.95, an
improved BEI score from the prior year. In the action research, the program is incorporated with an
innovative teaching strategy which is the Direct Instruction Strategy and the suggested activity called
TGA: Tell (give guidance), Guide (facilitate the process), and Act (apply the concept).
METHODS
This study was Descriptive-Evaluative in nature and was limited only to 30 Grade 8 learners who were
randomly selected through Purposive Random Sampling. The researcher aimed to answer the specific
questions raised in the study through the use of pretest and posttest and the appropriate statistical tools
like mean percentage, standard deviation, and paired t-test to find out the level of English language
performance before and after exposure to the enhancement program.
RESULTS
Results from the TGA Activity from the Direct Instruction Strategy under the Constructivism
Approach show that learners performed better both in English and in the achievement test after their
exposure to the intervention/remedial program. The learners' grades in English improved as well as
their scores in the achievement test with respect to vocabulary, writing, and reading comprehension.
This study enlightened everyone that performance in English is still the Filipinos' bridge to the globally
competitive world as well as to the 21st Century teaching-learning process. Moreover, the learners and
their respective families were given incentives called "Bigas at Tsinelas para sa Aldeans na
Nagpapakitang Gilas." It was really a huge help for them.
DISCUSSIONS
The continuous pursuit of the school towards the attainment of high-level English language
performance of all the learners in Aldea National High School serves as proof of the need for this
action plan. With the success attained by the English Enhancement Program thru TGA activity, Project
SAEP is also foreseen to be a big success through the cooperation of everyone, specifically the English
teachers who will facilitate the enhancement program and develop tools for innovation for the teaching-
learning process.

Enhancement Writing Program for Developing Writing Skills among Grade

Four Learners
Ma. Lourdes Arabit, Department of Education - Rizal
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Writing well involves more than simply documenting ideas as they come to the writer's mind. Writers
must process the idea carefully, determine the purpose for writing, plan how the story should go, and be
able to share to readers what they need to visualize and understand. In public schools, learners are being
exposed to various channels to showcase their writing skills. In this light, the researchers conducted an
action research entitled "An Eight-Week Enhancement Writing Program: A Tool for Developing
Writing Skills among Grade Four Learners.” The objective of this action research is to validate the
effectiveness of creating a writing program for Grade 4 learners.
METHODS
The proponents used Experimental Descriptive Research Method. It is a systematic approach to
research where the proponents manipulate one control group and one experimental group. Fifty (50)
respondents were grouped randomly into two groups (experimental and control). Both groups were
administered pretests and posttests to determine the effects of the writing enhancement program for
beginning writers.
RESULTS
The data analysis of pretest and posttest revealed that both groups had improved after they have
undergone an 8-week enhancement writing program. Based on their mean scores, both groups
improved their writing skills as shown in the pretest and posttest results. In general, a total of 23.12
improvement from the pretest and posttest mean scores of both groups was recorded. From 49.2, they
scored 72.32. Upon combining the scores of both groups, results show that they had a high
improvement on Grammar and Structures with a mean score of 5.27, followed by Content Quality and
Creativity with 5.15. The control group has recorded an improvement of 5.72 from 24.25 to 29.97.
Meanwhile, there is a very high improvement in Spelling and Punctuation where a mean score of 6
jumped to 7.45.
The results reveal that the experimental group which had undergone a writing enhancement program
had higher mean scores in the posttest than the control group. This implies that there is increase of the
level of performance of the respondents.
DISCUSSIONS
The result demonstrates an increase in writing skills among Grade 4 pupils. The program also increased
knowledge of learners on grammar and spelling. With the continuous application of the program,
winning in various writing competitions will be achievable.

Enhancing 21st Century Learning Skill through Teaching Competencies

and Pedagogical Approaches Employed by Grade 10 English Teachers in
Division of Lipa City
Leo Atienza, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
With the contextual analysis of the educational process and detailed examination of the teaching-
learning process, numerous factors are involved in improving classroom instruction. As premised in the
ASEAN integration 2015, the Philippines should adopt global education concepts to meet the needs of
the 21st Century learners through the implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Program. The
educational program mandates teachers to utilize pedagogical approaches known as the Constructivism,
Collaborative, Integrative, Inquiry-based, and Reflective (2C- 2I-R) which are noted to be the most
effective approaches that teachers should use as facilitators of learning. The researcher wants to conduct
a study to determine on how pedagogical approaches contribute to teaching competencies and success
of instruction in English 10 in the Division of Lipa City.
METHODS
The Descriptive Survey Design with the use of questionnaire was conducted with 100 Grade 10 teachers
in the Division of Lipa City chosen with the use of All Population Sampling. Data were collected using a
valid and reliable questionnaire consisting of three parts: Profile of the Respondents, Teaching
Competencies, and Pedagogical Approaches as 2C-2I-R. Data analysis was done using descriptive
statistical analysis by computing the mean. The significance of the hypothesis was analyzed using Chi
square and Pearson r-correlation.
RESULTS
The results showed that there was a very significant relationship between the manifestation of teaching
competencies and pedagogical approaches when grouped according to profile in terms of age,
educational attainment, and length of teaching experience. However, no significant difference was
observed between the manifestation of teaching competencies and pedagogical approaches as indicated
by the obtained correlation of 0.265 which was lower than the tabular value of 0.708 at 0.01 level of
significance with 10 degrees of freedom.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings indicate that Grade 10 English teachers were able to perform all teaching competencies
very satisfactorily and were able to utilize the pedagogical approaches to a great extent. Given the
significant relationship between teaching competencies, pedagogical approaches, and profiles, as an
index of enhancing 21st Century learning skills, it is necessary to encourage teachers to enrich their skills
and capabilities in teaching the subject. These skills are suggested to be reinforced, with more emphasis
on weaker domains.

Enhancing Academic Performance in Mathematics through Activities

Based on the Dominant Learning Style of Grade 8 Students
Arnold Capanayan, Conchita Ochavez, & Mheh Hannah Fe Dicdiquin, Carmona

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Learning style is the most effective way of learning Mathematics. In this study, the researchers focused
on the students' preferred learning style which are as follows: visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic.
Using these modes of acquiring knowledge, the researchers, as well as Mathematics teachers, are eagerly
motivated to help students who have low academic performance in Mathematics.
METHODS
This study used an Experimental-Descriptive Type of research which involves a quantitative method.
The researchers conducted a survey and collected data from the respondents who have low academic
performance in Mathematics through a standardized questionnaire. They consist of 46 students coming
from four sections and among 215 Grade 8 students. The second and third quarterly grades of the low
performing students were compared and analyzed through the use of specific statistical treatment to
describe the improvement of their academic performance.
RESULTS
It was observed that the most preferred learning style of the students in learning Mathematics is visual,
where they focused on visual aids during discussions. Next is Auditory where they preferred to listen to
the discussions than to have an on-the-board or textbook session. The least preferred modes were
tactile or kinesthetic where they wanted to move their hands and body parts to learn. As the study
progressed, the respondents have seen a greater achievement with students’ academic performance
through the help of the proposed Mathematics activities created by the researchers and other
Mathematics teachers. The activities have truly helped the students to have better grades in the third
quarter compared to the second quarter. Participating students got passing grades in Mathematics.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the need for more activities that match the preferred learning style of students
in learning Mathematics. Since the study discovered that most of the students preferred visual activities,
teachers should focus more on using flashcards and other colorful and creative visual aids. An auditory
learner focuses better through the use of audio devices and explaining the step-by-step solution to a
specific problem. On the other hand, tactile/kinesthetic learners tend to understand better through real-
life situations and letting them work as a group.

Enhancing Academic Performance in Mathematics using Bilingual as a

Medium of Instruction
Leira De Luna, Mary Rose Nolasco, & Niña Tasipit, Carmona National
Highschool
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Language is a tool for teaching and learning. Filipinos are known to be bilingual for having proficiency
in at both Filipino and English. These languages are used as mediums of instruction and tools for
communication in school. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the use of bilingual
as a medium of instruction in the academic performance in Mathematics of select Grade 7 students of
Carmona National High School.
METHODS
The researchers gathered data from the results of a test taken by Grade 7 students of School Year 2017-
2018. The researchers' pretest and posttest were based on the least mastered competencies in the third
periodical test results. The respondents of the study were 60 Grade 7 students who were divided into
two groups (control and experimental) of 30 students each. The study made use of the Quasi-
Experimental Design involving quantitative methods which utilized matched Two-Group Pretest
Posttest Design. T-test for un-correlated means were computed to describe significance differences in
the achievement level of the two groups.
RESULTS
The study revealed that the mean score for the pretest of the control group was 7.83 while the
experimental group was 7.72. The mean score for the posttest of the control group was 11.62 while the
experimental group was 11.52. This means that the control group has a greater level of performance
than the experimental group. On the t-test, the computed t-statistics was 0.62 which is less than the level
of significance for one-tailed test which is 1.701. Therefore, there was no significant difference between
the result of posttest between the control group that taught using monolingual (English) and the
experimental group that taught using bilingual (English-Filipino).
DISCUSSIONS
The mean of the pretest and posttest of the control group was greater than the experimental group,
which means that the level of performance of the control group was greater than the experimental
group and the computed t-statistics was less than the level of significance for one-tailed test. Therefore,
there was no significant difference between the result of posttest in the control and experimental group.
The medium of instruction using bilingual is as good as using monolingual in the teaching and learning
process.

increased to 51.57% performance level in their posttest after teachers utilized DI in teaching
Mathematics. The t-test computed value of -6.9135 is beyond the tabular value of -2.0518 at 0.05 level
of significance with 27 degrees of freedom. The null hypothesis is rejected. The researcher concludes
that there is a significant difference between pretest and posttest since the posttest result is higher than
the pretest result.
DISCUSSIONS
The results simply imply that Differentiated Instruction is an effective tool in enhancing the academic
performance of Grade 6 pupils. It is recommended that learning activities to be provided must
accommodate each child's learning needs and preferences to achieve maximum growth as a learner.
Interventions done by the researcher must be adopted by the teachers in teaching Mathematics. The
plan of action must materialize throughout the school year.

Enhancing Competencies of English Teachers through Teaching Buddy

System
Jovy Perez, Master Teacher 1
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teachers can do a lot but they can perform better with a buddy— someone in the workplace who can
scaffold and support them in doing their duties. Also, Department of Education Order No.39, s. 2016
which is the Adoption of the Basic Education Research Agenda stipulates the continuing professional
development and support which includes coaching and mentoring of teachers.
METHODS
Descriptive method of research was used to gather relevant data which can be used for the purpose of
the study. A survey questionnaire administered among 40 English teachers of Batangas National High
School was used to determine their problems in teaching and pedagogy, working relationships, and
leadership styles. How can a Teaching Buddy System help in enhancing the competencies of English
Teachers and what action plan could be proposed to improve the competencies of teachers?
RESULTS
The study revealed that teachers have problems, to some extent, in teaching and pedagogy and difficulty
in applying a variety of assessment tools in monitoring, evaluation, documentation, and reporting
learner's needs, progress, and achievement. Teachers tolerate or accept having a buddy or group buddies
in a department. A leader can play a great role in showing urgency of submission of assignments, forms,
and utilization of assessment reports. Results also showed that a Teaching Buddy System can help a
teacher through modeling effective applications of content knowledge, collaborating with co-teachers
using ICT, applications of research and new teaching strategies, being an initiator of collaboration and
partnerships, giving recognition, appreciation or compliment for one's accomplishment and
achievement, showing appreciation of one's ideas and suggestions in making plans and actions,
extending support in preparing presentations of the lesson, humbly perform tasks that one cannot do,
and assisting one in accomplishing reports and related works in teaching. Similarly, the study revealed
that teachers need technical assistance for professional growth through trainings and workshops.
DISCUSSIONS
This research revealed that the competencies of English teachers can be enhanced through a Teaching
Buddy System. Teachers greatly need the following support in their instruction and reporting:
trainings/seminars on teaching strategies in different learning competencies, Photoshop and infographic
design in teaching, exploring Microsoft Excel for calculations, video and audio editing, writing and
publishing self-made articles, and preparing PowerPoint presentations.

made by the researcher was used to gather feedbacks on the effectiveness of the program.
RESULTS
Based on the pretest and posttest results, the study reveals that there is a 34% score increase in the
posttest which means that the respondents agree that their English oral communication skills had
changed and developed after participating in the spelling bee and seminar-workshop intervention
programs used by the researcher. Result also showed that "English Day, Everyday Program" is highly
recommended and proven effective in coping with poor oral communication skills of the students.
Similarly, the respondents “Agree,” with 3.34 (WAM), which implies the significance of the program.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate that the implementation of English Day: Everyday Program in SHS Home
Economics Students in CNHS is effective. After the implementation of the program, most of the
respondents used English grammar correctly. It affords them better opportunities for career
advancement and motivation for their communication skills and finding relevant information for their
needs. Respondents also agree that the spelling bee is one of the best techniques that can contribute to
their knowledge and interest.

Enhancing English Reading Strategies in the Primary Grades of Subic

Elementary School
Liza Hilario, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Comprehension serves as basis for the pupils’ reading ability. The more they are able to answer the
comprehension questions, the more their level of understanding improves. This means pupils with poor
comprehension are poor readers. The researchers have found that English reading strategies are key
elements in developing children's comprehension skills. Teachers need to be prepared to design
effective reading strategies and how to teach these strategies to their pupils. The researchers aim to
study the effective reading strategies the teachers use in order to improve pupils' reading skills in
English.
METHODS
The researchers gathered data through the use of questionnaires, surveys, and interviews. The
researchers secured the oral reading pretest results and conducted a Teachers' Reading Strategies survey.
The respondents are the twelve (12) teachers from Grades I to III.
RESULTS
Primary pupils' oral reading results showed a remarkable improvement as reflected in the pre and
posttest results. The number of fast readers in Grade I went up to 52% gaining a 23% increase while the
number of struggling readers decreased to 3%. In Grade II, 22% improvement in fast readers was
achieved and only 5% were left in the “struggling” level. It was also noted that in Grade III, a 10%
increase in the number of fast readers was achieved in the posttest and a decrease of 6% in the number
of struggling pupils. The progress of the teachers' English reading strategies done after the initial survey
was also tabulated. The most commonly used strategies with the highest frequency in the primary grades
are Visualize, Evaluate Understanding, and SSQ (Stop, Summarize, Question). Strategies like Children's
Book Week Activities, Book Talk (Story Telling), and Reading Activity Calendar were done occasionally.
DISCUSSIONS
The results showed that different methods in teaching reading greatly affect the reading ability of the
pupils. Strategies like Visualize, Evaluate Understanding, and SSQ (Stop, Summarize, Question) are
considered by the researchers as the three most effective strategies. The findings can also help provide
insights into the type of strategies the teacher will use to solve their students' reading problems.

Enhancing Environmental Awareness through Project I-MEL (I Manage

Every Littered Paper in School)
Melrio Balatbat, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The school's stakeholders play important roles in proper solid waste management in compliance to the
Ecological Solid Management Act of 2000 (Republic Act No. 90003). This action research was funded
by the Basic Education Research Fund (BERF). The research seeks to investigate the following: (1) the
effectiveness Project I-MEL for S.Y. 2017-2018 in reducing solid waste in TNCES as perceived by the
teachers, pupils, and parents; and (2) the level of effectiveness of Project I-MEL as perceived by the
groups of respondents in reducing solid waste in TNCES.
METHODS
This study employed the Descriptive Method of research. The respondents of this study were the 37
teachers, 307 both pupils, and parents of TNCES. The weighted mean from the conducted survey was
computed. To determine the effectiveness of Project I-MEL in reducing solid waste in school, a 5-point
Likert scale was used with corresponding range and adjective description.
RESULTS
Results show that the computed average weighted mean from the teachers' group was 4.41 with “Very
Effective” adjective description, 3.79 from the students' group with “Very Effective” adjective
description, and 3.56 from the parents' group with “Very Effective” adjective description with an overall
weighted mean of 3.92. Findings imply that Project I-MEL in school was “Very Effective.” It was also
proven that there is no significant difference on the level of effectiveness of the implemented project as
perceived by the three groups of respondents.
DISCUSSIONS
Project I-MEL was successful because the systematic execution of the project was given importance by
the personnel, pupils, and parents of Tabaco North Central Elementary School. According to Busalla
(2010), participation is key when students are involved in the waste management program of the school.
An effective and sustainable implementation of the waste management practices is achieved. The
support of the school's administration to waste management is also critical through the creation of a
committee involved in the implementation and supervision of the project and thus commitment to the
project and its sustainability needs to be considered. In relation to the cited importance of Project I-
MEL in TNCES, it is therefore highly recommended that other schools and agencies adopt the said
innovation to address the environmental issue concerning proper waste disposal in their respective
stations.

Enhancing Grade 4-Science Class Pupils' Performance in Science through

Digital Light Processing Projector (DLP) Assisted Instruction: An Action
Research
Evelyn Chua
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Science involves very broad concepts, knowledge, and application. Average periodic test results in
Science in the Second Quarter of SY 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 show that pupils of Grade 4-Science
class garnered average periodic test scores of 82.03% and 83.41%, respectively. This is below the
standard level considering that they are in a Science class. This study focuses on to how to improve the
pupils' performance and mastery level in Science through the use of a DLP projector. The study is also
aimed to develop the retention rate by visual and actual presentation of lessons specifically the lessons
that books and other reference materials cannot offer optimal understanding among pupils.
METHODS
A descriptive research method was employed in this study. Using the traditional approach and varied
instructional materials, the researcher taught all the lessons in the second grading period prescribed in
the K to 12 Curriculum Guide (GC). A group activity or Performance Work Approach (PWA) was also
utilized. A pretest and posttest were administered to thirty-five (35) pupils from Grade 4-Science Class
Curriculum to evaluate their performance. The said tests were again administered and compared after
the DLP projector assisted instruction was introduced. The data gathered during the pretest and posttest
using the traditional way of teaching and DLP assisted instruction were compared using t-test.
RESULTS
The study showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores in the pretest and
posttest both in traditional teaching method and using DLP assisted instruction. DLP assisted
instruction is more effective in enhancing pupils' performance in Science. Based from the calculated
Index of Mastery (IM), the DLP assisted instruction is higher compared to the traditional teaching
method. Therefore, the former has greater impact in enhancing pupils' performance in Science. The
results also revealed that there is a correlation between the mastery level and retention level. When the
mastery level increases, it means that the retention level also increases.
DISCUSSIONS
Results revealed that the DLP assisted instruction showed remarkable impact in enhancing the
performance of the pupils in Science through Education Technology. Thus, the researcher recommends
to school authorities the use of DLP in instruction. Furthermore, it is recommended to conduct a
similar study in another subject and/or in another grade level as focus of the research to ascertain
further the results of this study.

Enhancing Language and Scientific Literacy among Grade 3 Pupils

through the Use of Modules in Science
Kathleen Angat, Lumipa Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Scientific literacy is a skill wherein the person can ask, find, or determine answers to questions derived
from curiosity about everyday experiences. It means that a person has the ability to describe, explain,
and predict natural phenomena. Several studies in the world have indicated that Science teachers who
are proficient in process skills use strategies that give children opportunities to learn those skills (Harlen,
1985, 2010). There are some students who have difficulties in reading. Therefore, it is important that
students be given intervention materials to develop their reading skills. This study experimented if there
is a significant difference in the pupils' language/ reading performance and scientific literacy after using
a modular approach in teaching Science 3.
METHODS
The proponent used the descriptive type of research, particularly quantitative research. Purposive
Sampling was used since there were only 15 pupils in Grade 3 at Lumipa Elementary School. The
statistical tool used was parametric statistics, particularly the t-test to determine if there is a significant
difference between the pretest and posttest in the language/reading performance and scientific literacy
of the pupils after using the modular approach in teaching Science 3. The instruments used were (a)
modules during the experimentation and (b) pre and posttest results.
RESULTS
Results show that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest in the
language/reading performance and scientific literacy after using modular approach in teaching Science 3
demonstrated by the t-test at É ‘= .05, df = 28, and t .05 = 1.734. Because the computed value of t is
2.342, the null hypotheses was rejected. There were 13 out of 15 pupils who attained the independent
level in reading after the experimentation. The modular intervention materials were effective in
developing/enhancing language and scientific literacy among Grade 3 pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
It is found in this study that a module can help develop the reading ability of the pupils. Scientific
literacy will lead them to be more capable in coping up with their lessons. Using modules have many
advantages in developing the reading skill of the learners (Brown et al., 2010). Modular teaching may
help develop many notable and self-reliant characters and in much more modern ways, pupils enjoy
periods in which they pursue their interests and satisfy their curiosities (Manlove and David, 2015).

Enhancing Mathematical Ability of Grade 6 Pupils through Problem-

Solving
Evangeline Borsal, Department of Education - Tabaco City Division
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This action research was funded by the Department of Education through the Basic Education
Research Fund (BERF). Problem solving is essential in Mathematics and to everyday life. It develops
skills needed for real-life situations. However, 29 out 31 pupils or 94% of the Grade 6-1 class of Comon
Elementary School had difficulty in solving mathematical problems based on the pretest result and their
performance in Mathematics class. They can do simple computations like addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division but not word problems. To test the effectiveness of using problem-solving
in enhancing the Mathematical ability of Grade 6-1 pupils and to improve their academic performance,
the researcher conducted this action research.
METHODS
Descriptive-Correlational Method was used in the study. The 29 pupils underwent learning sessions in
Mathematics using problem-solving. They were the same pupils who took the pretest and the posttest.
Results of the tests were recorded, analyzed, and interpreted using the mean, percentage, and t-test for
correlated sample. The researcher provided activity sheets on mathematical word problems to the pupils
during the daily Supervised Study using problem-solving. Prior to that, the researcher taught the pupils
problem-solving strategies in answering mathematical word problems. For each session, the use of
problem-solving strategy in answering the activities was also given emphasis.
RESULTS
The researcher found out that the performance level of the Grade 6-1 pupils in Mathematics showed a
significant increase. The pretest performance level was 28.20% and the posttest performance level was
82.68%. There is a significant difference in the performance of Grade 6 pupils in the pre and posttest.
The use of problem-solving is an effective intervention in Mathematics in improving the academic
performance of the pupils in the discipline. Teaching problem-solving strategies also helped improve the
academic achievement of the pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings imply that the use of problem-solving as a mathematical intervention to Grade 6 pupils
improved their performance achievement. Pupils who are exposed to problem-solving can perform
better in their Mathematics class which led to increased academic performance. These results support
the studies of Luzmanuel (1990), Nuzum (1991), and Chang, et al (2001) that students showed good
results if they were taught with the problem-solving approach.

Learning
Ma. Glenda Beratio
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics can be a challenging subject to learn. Educational video games have the potential of
addressing these challenges. Interactive games can consume children's attention for hours while
providing them with effective instruction and engaging learning experience. Games have been used to
promote children's Mathematics achievement in various domains including problem-solving and algebra
skills, strategic and reasoning abilities, critical skills, and procedures.
METHODS
The study used Experimental Design with participating pupils of Petronilo L. Torres Memorial
Elementary School in Naic, Cavite. They were selected on the basis of age, sex, and academic
performance. Twenty pupils each were distributed between the experimental group (game-based
learning) and control group (traditional learning). The mathematical competency test was used for
grouping. A 20-items test on Mathematics proficiency was administered. The t-test was used.
RESULTS
Results show that the pretest for both the experimental and control groups have no significant
difference. Results of the posttest, however, shows a significant difference between the control and
experimental group’s performance. Results suggest that the Game-Based Learning Method is effective
in improving and enhancing the competence of pupils in Mathematics.

Enhancing Mathematics Skills through Intervening Scaffolding Instruction
Rose Ann Lozano, Pagsawitan Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In the 21st Century classroom, the focus is no longer on memorizing and recalling facts but rather on
functional learning. In real classroom scenarios, students do not have mastery of the subject matter and
can easily forget what their teacher has taught them. Teachers in public schools are required to conduct
an action research and propose effective strategies and interventions to create a solution on how to
enhance the performance of the students. Scaffolding is one strategy used by teachers to enhance
learning and aid students in the mastery of tasks. It helps students finish a complex task or achieve a
goal that they could not accomplish on their own (Wood et al., 1976).
METHODS
This study used quasi-experimental type of research to determine and describe the extent of the learning
activities developed by the researcher and its effectiveness to enhance the Mathematical skills of the
elementary pupils. The researcher developed Scaffolding Activities in terms of physical activities and
visual arts activities aligned in K to 12 Mathematics curriculum for Grade 4. Two different classes of
Grade 4 enrolled in Pagsawitan Elementary School during the School Year 2017-2018 participated
respondents.
RESULTS
The Grade 4 pupils described the scaffold physical activities and visual art activities that helped them
enhance their Mathematical skill as very evident. The mean level of pupils' Mathematics skills in the
pretest and posttest in the control group are both verbally interpreted as Approaching Proficiency. On
the other hand, the mean level of pupils' Mathematics skills in the pretest and posttest in the
experimental group was described as Developing to Approaching Proficiency. It shows that scaffolding
physical activities and visual art activities enhanced the Mathematical skills of the Grade 4 pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
The result shows that scaffolding physical activities and visual arts activities enhanced the skills of the
Grade 4 pupils in Mathematics. Scaffolding activities can be integrated on the other subjects where their
students can learn and enjoy at the same time. Teachers should focus on the mathematical skills of the
pupils which need to be enhance by developing instructional materials that are appropriate for diverse
learners. Teachers must determine the level of the prior knowledge of the pupils on the topics to be
discussed for them to have ideas on how to enhance their skills. It is recommended for the other
researchers to make use of a larger number of respondents to be able to verify the results of the present
study.

Enhancing Oral Communication Skills in English among Grade 6 Pupils of

Balangon Elementary School
Babyjane Aquino & Joan H. Caag, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Good oral communication skills in English is one of the most important factors that need to be
developed and enhanced among our learners simply because it leads to effective communication. Thus,
the researcher aims to discover the reasons for pupils' unwillingness to communicate in English and to
find ways to overcome the barrier.
METHODS
The study is a qualitative research that requires only a single class. The tool to be used is an Oral
Communication Test with Rubrics as the basis and criteria for assessment of 34 respondents. In order
to make this study possible, an action plan was created and was implemented in the classroom through
observation and keeping records of Grade 6 pupils' improvement and interaction.
RESULTS
The findings of pre and post intervention phases of thirty-four (34) participants proved that the pupils'
oral communication skills have shown a remarkable improvement by giving opportunities to practical
oral languages, providing conducive learning environments, and using new teaching strategies. The study
recommended that the time allocated for teaching oral communication skill must be increased to give
students the chance to carry out different speaking activities. Teachers should support their pupils to
overcome inhibition problems by being friendly, helpful, and cooperative so that they will be able to
speak comfortably in their class and not worry about making mistakes.
DISCUSSIONS
Enhancing the communicative competence among our pupils is one of the most crucial situations for
English teachers. English is the second language in the country and it is necessary to build
communicative competence among learners. Lack of linguistic knowledge often leads pupils to shyness.
They are found to be silent or have profound fear of committing mistakes. The students not given
opportunities to speak English in their everyday communication leads to poor oral communication. The
researcher attempts to investigate the level of speaking competency of Grade 6 pupils, the difficulties
that the pupils encounter with problems in oral communication, and the ways to improve difficulties in
oral communication skills.

Enhancing Parental Involvement through Reward System
Ma. Isabel Banawon, Department Of Education, Tabaco City Division
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Education stresses the importance of parental involvement and community
partnership. The school, as an institution for learning, appreciates the support provided by the
community members. The teachers who develop the young minds and hearts of the children to become
assets of society also perceive the significance of parental involvement. The parents need to know their
children's class standing so that they themselves can help their children either sustain or improve the
current academic status. During the last two school years, the researcher observed that only a few
parents are actively engaged in school activities. The record shows that less than 50% of the expected
number of parents attend Homeroom PTA meetings. This is exactly the reason why the researcher
conducted this action research. The main goal of this action research is to enhance parental involvement
through an intervention in the form of the reward system. She conducted this action research to prove
that through the reward system the parental involvement will be increased.
METHODS
The researcher employed extrinsic motivation among parents by means of giving them groceries every
time she calls for HPTA meetings. However, it is explained to the parents that the reward system is not
to mislead them that they only should have to attend the meetings because of the items being given to
them. The researcher explained to them briefly that the main advantage of attending the HPTA meeting
is not merely having these materials but rather to exhibit constant support for their children. This
extrinsic motivation led to intrinsic motivation eventually. Parents who did not attend the meeting were
given a reply slip from which they will write the reason for not attending the meeting. And by means of
the reply slip, the researcher consolidated the main reason why parents did not attend the conferences.
RESULTS
Results show that the percentage of the number of parents who participated in the three Brigada
Eskwela increased at 35.29%, 58.82% and 88.24%. It was also shown in this study that the number of
parents who attended the four HPTA meetings also increased at 41.18%, 47.06%, 73.53%, and 82.35%.
DISCUSSIONS
This action research exhibits that the intervention (reward system) used by the researcher to improve
parental involvement was effective. This action research was funded by Department of Education under
the Basic Education Research Fund.

Enhancing Problem Solving Skills in Mathematics through Problem-

Solving Activities
Vivian Abarro & Michelle P. San Andres Longa, Baras-Pinugay Integrated School -
Senior High
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the most important means in saving money is storing them in banks. It is the safest mode of
keeping money so that no one can steal it. Aside from this, once the money is kept in banks, it gains
interests. Interests pertain to money paid regularly at a particular rate for the use of money lent. Interests
are categorized into simple and compound interests. This subject matter is important for students to
learn. Students in Business Mathematics are expected to display competencies such as distinguish simple
and compound interests. In addition, compute interest, maturity value, future value, and present value in
simple and compound interest environment. Moreover, learners should be able to solve problems
involving simple and compound interests (Curriculum Guide in Business Mathematics).
METHODS
To determine the effectiveness of the problem-solving activities, a Randomized Pretest Posttest Only
Control Group Design was used. In this design, two groups of respondents were used. These are the
control and experimental groups. Each group had twenty-five (25) randomly selected members. The
members of the control group were selected from the learners from the TVL track class and the
experimental group was selected from the GAS strand class.
RESULTS
Results show that the mean score of the learners in the experimental group in posttest is higher than the
mean score of the learners in the control group. There was a significant difference between the mean
scores in the pretest and posttest of the experimental group. Moreover, there was a significant
difference between the score in posttest of the learners in the experimental and control groups.
DISCUSSIONS
The study found that problem-solving activities are helpful in enhancing the problem-solving skills of
the learners as stated in the result of the post test. But this study can still be subject for verification and
application to other topics in Business Mathematics due to its limits on the topics covered. As for now,
with the topics Simple and Compound Interest, it is strongly suggested that this method should be
adopted to help the learners improve their skills in word problem-solving.

Enhancing Problem Solving Skills of Grade 6-1 Pupils of Pinaglabanan

Elementary School through Cooperative Learning
Josie T. Apostol
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study was conducted to enhance the problem-solving skills of Grade 6 pupils of Pinaglabanan
Elementary School for School Year 2014-2015, to determine the level of solving skills of the pupils in
Mathematics, identify the problem solving skills they performed well, identify skills that need
improvement, and determine the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies in teaching
Mathematics.
METHODS
This study used the Descriptive Design. It also utilized the Triangulation Method that includes
questionnaire, test, and interview. The pretest and posttest result for every skill taught were thoroughly
interpreted and analyzed. Every competency of the class in pretest and posttest were identified to
determine the performance level of the pupils and be given necessary interventions. The pupils worked
on their outputs using the different cooperative learning such as small group discussion, congressional
discussion, triads, dyads and pair, and think and share.
RESULTS
In general, the pupils’ PL increased in almost all the competencies tested. 1-2-Step Word Problems
involving addition or subtraction of decimals including currency had a 78.29% rating. 1-3-Step Word
Problems involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication of decimals had an 84.14% rating. Word
problems involving division of decimals including currency had a 97.86% rating. Solving 2-3-Step Word
Problems including currency had a 91% rating. Word problems in addition and subtraction of fractions
in simple or mixed forms with or without regrouping had a 94.71% rating. 2-3-Step Word Problems
involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication in simple or mixed form, a PL of 69.86% was
recorded. Solving word problems involving division of fractions, a PL of 84.71% was recorded. Solving
2-3-Step Word Problems involving all operations in fraction has a PL of 47.57%. As to the impact, there
was an increase of the number of pupils who have enhanced their problem solving skills.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher recommends encouraging and accepting pupils’ autonomy and initiative. Teachers
should also make use of cognitive terminology such as: illustrate, visualize, and create. Teachers should
also give thought-provoking and open-ended questions to each other and seek elaboration of pupils’
responses. The intervention materials that should be prepared by the teacher must foster understanding
on the different operations by using objects as reference for numbers and demonstrating the physical
manipulation associated with each operation. Cooperative learning is highly recommended for active
and enthusiastic pupils but less active pupils must be encouraged and be given opportunities to
participate.

Enhancing Pupils' Classroom Etiquette towards Positive Attitudes on

Learning of Grade School Pupils of San Vicente Elementary School
Ana E. Masayes, Aphrodite Maligalig, & Divina H. Marasigan, Department of

Education Sto. Tomas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
School is an institution for leading society towards a better future. School develops the proper manner
of a child or rather a whole being of a person. It develops one's conscience in dealing with other people
especially towards authorities and elders. As educators, proper behavior, and attitudes must be
transferred to pupils according to their level of comprehension.
METHODS
Checklist and questionnaire were the tools used to gather data and information. The descriptive method
was used which produced a description of individual variables as they existed within a specific group.
RESULTS
The results show that the insights of teachers on pupils’ classroom etiquettes listed were alike. The
identified problems were molding pupils' attitudes and behaviors and were recorded according to the
environment that they are into. Through the influence of technology and lack of parents' duties, the
situations affect the character and learning progress of a child. The situations include arriving in class on
time, contribution and participation in class discussion when appropriate, addressing teachers properly,
contacting teachers when absent in class, accepting responsibilities and accountability for all their
actions, respecting the rights of others, following classroom rules and regulations, study habits,
classroom behavior, doing homework diligently and patiently, and submission of assignments and
projects ahead of time.
DISCUSSIONS
The reactions of respondents based on the results prove that pupils of SVES are diligent in time and
learning the value of etiquettes were consistently the priority of the school through the cooperation of
the school head, teachers, and parents. There is no difference between the insights of teachers. The
proposed best practices of etiquettes will be imposed on pupils with parents to look and observe.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching is a process by which one interacts with another person with the intention of influencing the
learning of the pupils. The researcher conducted the study to assess the pupils’ engagement in teaching
and learning activities of Araling Panlipunan and for teachers to utilize the methodologies and strategies
that will meet the standards of the 21st Century learning requirements for the learning goals of the
learners. Since the full implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum, the effectiveness of
the utilization of the strategies on pupils engagement in learning Araling Panlipunan has never been
studied in Lemery Pilot Elementary School. As an Araling Panlipunan teacher, the researcher expressed
the needs to analyze the engagement of the pupils in the activities in the classroom and the teachers'
utilization of methodology and strategies.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was used in this study. The Descriptive Research Design is a
scientific method which involves observing and describing the behavior of a subject without influencing
it in any way. This method was applicable to the study since it assessed the pupils’ engagement in the
teaching and learning activities of Araling Panlipunan. The respondents of the study will be the four (4)
Araling Panlipunan teachers and 270 Grade 4 pupils in Lemery Pilot Elementary School.
RESULTS
Among the methodologies used in teaching Grade 4 Araling Panlipunan, the pupils were highly engaged
in lessons through "role plays," "brainstorming," and "teaching with data.” That the Araling Panlipunan
teachers performed outstandingly in the utilization of teaching methodologies specifically in lecture or
discussion or in telling, explaining, describing, or relating whatever information the students are required
to learn through listening and understanding. Teachers also performed well in helping pupils understand
complex ideas using drawings and diagrams to engage visual learners. They showed relationships,
clarified concepts, and facilitated communication by means of Venn Diagrams.
DISCUSSIONS
The school heads along with the department head/subject coordinator of Araling Panlipunan need to
design an enriched theme for Small Learning Action Cell (SLAC) sessions that will help teachers use the
best practices and strategies and developing their assessment tools. There is a need for rigorous training
for Araling Panlipunan teachers in managing strategies and assessment tools.

Enhancing Pupils' Motivation in Science 6 Subject at Haring Elementary

School (Annex) through Utilization of Television-In-School (TIS) and
Educational Video-Assisted Instruction (EVAI).
Rhyan Pillogo, Department of Education - Cam.Sur
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study, a Basic Education Research Fund (BERF) grantee, was designed to determine the effect of
Television-in-School (TIS) and Educational Video-Assisted Instruction (EVAI) to pupils' motivation in
Science 6 subject and to their attitude, participation, grade, homework, and teachers’ teaching styles.
Specifically, it was aimed to determine if there are significant differences on the pupils' motivation along
different categories mentioned upon the implementation of the strategies. To fully maximize the
potential of these proposed strategies, the researcher introduced an innovative way to incorporate TIS
and EVAI in teaching resulting to more motivated pupils and improved learning outcomes. It has three
(3) simple steps. The first step is "Plan Ahead” followed by “Promote Active Viewing," and the last step
is, "Do Interactive Viewing."
METHODS
This study used the One Group Pretest Posttest study design. One group of 15 pupils, were chosen as
the control and experimental group. A 25-item, teacher-made questionnaire for motivation with
different categories with five (5) questions each, was used in this study. The control group was taught
using the conventional method of teaching while the experimental group was taught using the
TIS/EVAI method of teaching with innovative approach. Responses were tabulated in tables and
interpreted through graphs. Percentage increase and decrease was used to compare the difference
between the conventional methods of teaching and the proposed methods in each category. Two-Way
Sample t-test was to compute for significant differences.
RESULTS
The study revealed that there was a significant difference between the mean responsibility of 14.86 for
conventional method and 105.33 mean responsibility for TIS/EVAI. This study has proven that the use
of the TIS/EVAI was effective in improving/increasing the motivation for Science along criteria on
attitude (81%), participation (47%), homework (30%), grades (41%), and teaching style (70%).
DISCUSSIONS
Results show that TIS/EVAI made the respondents more motivated to come to class, participated in
class discussion, and asked questions related to the topic. When they did understand the topic well, they
caught up easily, better enjoyed learning, and not feel bored about it. They showed good relationship
with the teacher and treated the subject as important, fun, and interesting. The proposed
strategies/interventions is in no way intended to be comprehensive or definitive, but instead should be
seen as a springboard for further innovation.

Enhancing Pupils Performance in Research through the Use of Science

Investigatory Project (SIP)
Analiza Ravela, Balayan West Central School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The Science Investigatory Project (SIP) is an undertaking for Science pupils that needs an application of
certain scientific principles and ideas. One of its aims is to develop one's capacity in order to actively and
effectively participate the solution of problems being faced by the community through the application of
rational and creative thinking process in search for the solution of the problem. It has been observed by
the researcher that the pupils are not aware of the important contribution of research to man's life. The
pupils in Grade 5 that the researcher handled are expected to acquire high performance because of the
fact that they have already adopted technology through the use of Science Investigatory Projects.
METHODS
The pupils conducted the Science Investigatory Project based on the research that they have chosen.
The researcher used data gathering method which indicated the percentage distribution of the
performance level of each section of Grade 5 pupils who did the research work. It has been found out
that there were more pupils who did not make the research. Furthermore, the researcher also used a data
analysis plan that showed that pupils need more enhancement in research.
RESULTS
The findings implied that there was a need for an enhancement in the research work of the pupils. The
results showed that there was one (1) section in Grade 5 that acquired an average level of performance.
It may be because Grade 5-Mercury was the star section in the Grade 5 level as evident in the higher
percentage results that was interpreted as average level of performance. These findings can be attributed
to the knowledge and skills they learned in learning research. The other sections of Grade 5 got the
performance level of Below Average, Needs Improvement and Poor which implies a need for an
enhancement in through learning research.
DISCUSSIONS
The effect of using the Science Investigatory Project in the performance of the pupils in research was to
continue the motivation of the pupils to conduct valuable and relevant investigation but still the pupils
failed to maximize their potentials as researchers. The findings of the research, where pupils exhibited
poor level in learning research, may be attributed to the lack of gadgets like computers, laptops, internet,
and other resources.

Enhancing Reading Comprehension Level of Grade 6 Pupils Using Think-

Pair-Share Strategy in Abung Elementary School
Rosenda Dimaano, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is an interactive process that goes on between the reader and the text, resulting in
comprehension. Without the solid foundation of reading skills, the researcher feels the children will be
struggle hard through their schooling. By learning the best comprehension strategies and how to best
teach these strategies to the pupils, the researcher hopes to provide the solid foundation need to
succeed.
METHODS
A descriptive method through questionnaire was used to gather data. The questionnaires concisely
develop to determine the enhancement of reading comprehension level of grade six pupils. Thirty-six
Grade Six pupils responded to a set of questions.
RESULTS
Based from the data being tabulated from the questionnaire, the common difficulties encountered by the
respondents that really affect their reading was their nervousness. Difficult or boring content of the text,
shortage of time reading, content, word / vocabulary difficulties and unusual sentence length were also
affecting the reading abilities of pupils. The data suggest that using think-pair-share strategy facilitates
increased student participation in class discussion and reading comprehension that increases the quality
of students responses.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the need of teachers to use think-pair-share strategy in their classes since it
helps to improve their achievements and increase cooperation, motivation and increases the reading
comprehension level. Students should be encouraged to apply this strategy in speaking and reading
lessons to develop their comprehension skills. Furthermore, the curriculum designers need to increase
the activities that use the think-pair-share strategy since it helps to develop the critical thinking skills

Rizal Elementary School through the Implementation of Project 222
Jewell Rivera
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is one of the literary skills that a child must acquire. This skill will enable a child to unlock new
learning that he might encounter while he is studying. But the reality that the development of every
learner is not the same to one another results to poor grasping of insights of some pupils in reading. As
this problem arise, an intervention was created.
METHODS
The study employed descriptive research method specifically quasi-experimental method. Two (2) pupils
of Grade VI-Jasmine of Rizal Elementary School were the respondents of this action research through
purposive sampling. To verify the effectiveness of the intervention program, the relevant collected data
were treated statistically using t-test.
RESULTS
There is a significant difference in the reading comprehension and performance of Grade VI-Jasmine
pupils before and after the implementation of Project 222. There is an increase in the reading
comprehension performance of two (2) pupils of Grade VI-Jasmine after 2 weeks of remediation with 2
stories everyday as shown in the post reading test where the mean average of the reading comprehension
appeared to be positive. Reading intervention programs are essential to attend the needs of the learners
in reading in the 21st century teaching- learning episodes.
DISCUSSIONS
This action research imparts vital data on the performance level of two (2) pupils of Grade 6-Jasmine
before and after the employment of Project 222. The results proved that Project 222 for the
enhancement of reading comprehension levels is greatly commendable for the reason that pupils were
able to perceive clear conception of what they have read, respond to simple and complex questions,
generate new ideas and be able to reflect from the learnings they acquired.

Enhancing Reading Comprehension through Reading Short Stories (Project

Reading Short Stories "RSS")
Mary Grace Bala
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Poor level of reading comprehension is one of the problems that schools are currently facing. Learners
may know how to read but some may lack comprehension of what they read. Many researchers and
educators have attempted to find more efficient ways for the learners to become more proficient
readers. Previous researches established a link where content knowledge is considered as essential factor
in the learning process of reading comprehension. Literary texts, short stories, and more can be a source
of content knowledge. In this study, the researcher attempts to determine whether the selected Grade 4
pupils of Asis Elementary School will enhance their reading comprehension level through reading short
stories, the “Project RSS".
METHODS
The study used the descriptive research design and used pretest and posttest as an instrument for
gathering the data needed. This study used paired sample t-test to test the significance of the Project RSS
in the Grade 4 pupils' comprehension level. The respondents were the Grade 4 pupils who were under
"Frustration" level of reading comprehension. In this study, the reading comprehension level of the
pupils was described using Phil-IRI level of comprehension. The short stories used were adapted from
different references such as textbooks and other reading materials appropriate for Grade 4.
RESULTS
As a result of this study, after conducting the "Project RSS" within a month, improvements were seen
among the selected Grade 4 pupils, from "frustration" level to "independent" and "instructional”. This
result was based on the analysis of the data gathered, where the pre-test scores are less than the post test
scores. Using the paired sample t-test, the researcher tested the pre-test and the post test scores. The
researcher found out that there was a significant difference to conclude that “Project RSS” was indeed
effective in improving the level of reading comprehension among the selected pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the result of the study, it clearly showed that the pupils who were engaged in "Project RSS"
were most likely to improve the level of their reading comprehension. Therefore, teachers are
encouraged to implement "Project RSS" or use a similar strategy that uses various sources of content
knowledge for the pupils to be able to enhance the pupils’ level of reading comprehension. Moreover,
practice reading can also improve fluency, reading comprehension, and written expression of learners.
Further research is advised for the validation of the current study.

Enhancing Reading Skills of Three Struggling Readers in Grade 5 of

Tanagan Elementary School through Phonetic Approach: A Case Study
Alexander Alcantara, Department of Education - Batangas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is one of the five macro skills that is deemed important for children that is why it is necessary
for them to learn, practice, and enhance it as they progress in their academic journey. Mastery in reading
serves as a strong foundation that gives children privilege to learn all subjects across different disciplines
in school. Aside from excelling in their academic subjects, it also open doors of great opportunities for
them.
METHODS
The researcher gathered Grade 5 Oral Reading Assessments which were conducted in June 2018. A
questionnaire was used to determine the reading ability of the pupils. Moreover, the researcher also used
the interview guide approach for this study.
RESULTS
Based on the results, three reading problems emerged: First, decoding is a reading skill that is about
finding or understanding the true or hidden meaning of something as to word. Second, poor
Comprehension is the most common problem in reading that existed in a class. Indeed, there are many
things going on in reading, from letter and word recognition to understanding meaning at the phrase,
sentence, and paragraph levels. Third, speed has been observed to be one of the worst reading problems
among learners, especially in reading English texts. Most could hardly read fast because of some barriers
which may include the unfamiliar terms.
DISCUSSIONS
As support to these identified reading problems, the researcher also conducted an interview to further
investigate on the existing problems among the three (3) Grade 5 learners.
It was found out that learners have difficulties in reading that it hindered them in learning their lessons
caused by varied inevitable circumstances. Furthermore, those instances made them traumatized that
added to the difficulties that they have been experiencing. It is recommended that the educators need to
be more understanding and patient in dealing with learners similar to the research participants.

School through Intervention Activities
Randie Atienza, Lemery Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Research skills are important among STEM students since they expected to be future engineers, medical
professionals, scientists, and other science and technology related professionals. For these reasons,
STEM students should be competent in writing research. On the other hand, not all STEM students
have good skills in generating research paper easily. Most of them experience difficulties in different
areas of research which impede their ability to produce a quality paper. Various strategies were used by
the teacher in teaching important concepts and ideas of research but still most of them are experiencing
difficulties. In order to solve this dilemma, this study should be conducted to formulate intervention
activities that may also enhance the research instruction in STEM strand.
METHODS
This research adopted the descriptive design where the researcher collected data using a validated
researcher's made questionnaire which composed of 2 parts. The first part assessed the level of
performance of STEM students in Practical Research 1 and 2 and the second part measured their
difficulties they encountered in making research paper. Overall, it involved a total of 125 STEM students
where 41 came from STEM 12-1, 41 from STEM 12-2 and 43 from STEM 12-3.
RESULTS
The study revealed that STEM students performed very satisfactorily in Practical Research 1 and 2 as
supported by the mean score of 86.67 and 87.68 respectively. The study also showed that there is
significant difference in the level of performance of the three sections of STEM students in Practical
Research 1. However, there is no significant difference existed between the performance of STEM
students in Practical Research 2. The average weighted means of 2.78 and 3.31 showed that STEM
students encountered difficulties in making research paper with respect to personal and school facilities-
related factors to moderate extent. Some experienced difficulties in making research paper due to
teacher - related factors as reflected in the average weighted mean of 2.30.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings of the study showed that the STEM students still needed enhancement in writing research
paper. This can be done by addressing the difficulties that they encountered in Practical Research 1 and
2 through formulating an enhancement program.

through Global Filipino School Program
Emerson Dalangin & Gina Dalangin, Sico 1.0 National High School (Grade 7-12)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
It is observed that teachers have been trying to teach 21st-century skills (21CS) with 20th-century
teachers in 19th-century learning environments. To address this, Global Filipino School (GFS) Program
has been initiated by Globe Telecom under Department of Education's "Adopt-a-School Program"
where Sico 1.0 National High School has been selected for this program. One of its tasks is to enhance
the teachers' 21CS.
This study aims to find out if there were significant improvements in teachers' 21CS in terms of
proficiency and frequency. It also investigates how often the teachers used the devices and services
provided under the program.
METHODS
Triangulation Mixed Method was used where an interview was conducted to design the questionnaire in
order to evaluate its effectiveness and an FGD to validate result among the twenty-seven Sico 1.0 NHS
teachers that were trained. Furthermore, the device-users were also evaluated.
RESULTS
Through the program, there were significant improvements in teachers' 21CS. These improvements
were validated using Wilcoxon Test (p <0.05). Their over-all improvement mean percentage score
(MPS) was 93%. The program's over-all effectiveness MPS was 99%.
Is has also been noted that internet and laptops were used very often, the printers had reached their
maximum capacity, and the projectors' importance was outdone by the flat-screen TVs installed in each
classroom.
DISCUSSIONS
It can be inferred that the Global Filipino School Program is indeed effective. It can be suggested that it
must be continued in the school. Also, the Department of Education can utilize the Global Filipino
School to train other teachers to enhance their 21CS.

Enhancing Speaking Skills of Learners in Group Activities through the Use

of Group, Individual, Leader (Gil) Rubric
Lea Malaluan, TRAQ/QUELTA
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching English language has aimed to master the different macro skills of language; listening,
speaking, reading, writing and viewing. From these macro skills, speaking is the most direct and useful
forms of communication that help learners to gain competence and even confidence in expressing ideas
using the 2nd language. This skill is interrelated with the mandate of cooperative learning approach in
teaching to encourage learners’ active participation. Yet, group work has its own drawbacks, those good
in speaking become better and best due to constant practice and those who need improvement remain
to their levels due to lack of confidence and fear to fail teachers’ expectations. Hence, rubric is an
important tool for assessment to address these needs.
METHODS
The study employed quantitative approach to determine any increase or decrease in the students'
performance. Likewise, non- experimental research design was used since the MPS for two grading
periods in the students' oral performance were used to measure the results. It was aided with
triangulation method in which responses from the interviews were coded for interpretation. Purposive
sampling was utilized using the class with the lowest MPS as respondents.
RESULTS
The use of teacher-created Group, Individual, Leader (GIL) Rubric fairly enhanced the speaking skills of
learners in terms of grammar and content. Motivation, task distribution, and transparency were good
factors to enhance learners' confidence to speak. Specific guidelines and instructions were very useful for
the leaders to assess fairly each member's contribution. The score from the teacher on individual
performance was very effective to encourage the learners to give their best. Score for the group
performance motivated all the members to work as one.
DISCUSSIONS
A rubric is a set of standards of a performance for a defined population. With rubrics, communication
with students on their expectations and how they will be graded becomes easy for teachers. The teacher-
made GIL rubric brings out scores from the teacher for the whole group performance and individual
performance during the actual presentation and scores from the leader for each member based on
contribution during the preparation. It provides guidelines for how students are supposed to do certain
tasks appropriately. A structured methodology and effective approaches will progressively encourage
group members' participation especially in oral presentation. The more active and participative the
learners are in such activities; the more speaking skills will be enhanced.

Herminia Hernandez, Yolanda Granados, & Rona Tumbaga, Lucsuhin National

High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Schools are channels of learning and skills' development. Its role is to create and transmit knowledge
where social, cultural, and economic well-being of individuals are enhanced together with the school
personnel and the stakeholders. These stakeholders also assume the indispensable role of the education
sector in maximizing the opportunity of individuals to develop and improve their potentials and be
contributors to the country's development.
The school can achieve quality education with the presence of the different types of stakeholders who
execute their roles and functions responsibly. Owing to the fact that the school cannot exist alone, it
needs the support of the stakeholders to carry out its vision, mission, goals, and objectives to bring out
the improved learning outcomes for the learners. Thus, the time has come to put a weight to
emphasizing how these stakeholders' effort can be maximized to give positive effects to the school
environment.
METHODS
The study utilized the descriptive method of research. A researcher-made interview questionnaire was
used as the main data gathering instrument. The respondents of the study were 100 stakeholders
determined using purposive random sampling. The researchers accumulated and consolidated the
responses of the participants. The statistical tools used were mean, percentage and rank.
RESULTS
The study revealed that the main reasons why there was a low level of stakeholders' participation were
ineffective dissemination of information, busy schedule, financially matters, and lack of interest. The
researchers came up with a proposed management program towards enhancing stakeholders'
participation.
DISCUSSIONS
The researchers who served as head teachers of Lucsuhin National High School believed that the
community of parents finds it difficult to have time to participate in different activities and programs of
the school. Some of the constraints are the parents' own work responsibilities both at home and offices
while other parents in public schools have negative perceptions regarding school projects and activities.
Thus, the active participation of the parents and LGU can help the school by finding remedies in varied
school concerns and problems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Educators are challenged with the goal of developing educational materials to improve students'
learning. The use of various strategies in the classroom makes the students actively engaged in the
learning process. The focus of this study is to determine the effectiveness of BEEP Cards
(BioEnergetics Enhancement Play Cards) on learners' conceptual understanding on bioenergetics.
METHODS
The study utilized the action research design to test the effectiveness of BEEP Cards on the learners'
conceptual understanding on the lesson as compared to the conventional method. Two groups of Grade
11 learners at Caruhatan National High School were the participants in this study - experimental group
(exposed to BEEP Cards) and control group (conventional method).
RESULTS
The data from the pretest and posttest showed that the mean gain score of the experimental group was
statistically higher than that of the control group. The students from experimental group evaluated the
BEEP Cards using the five criteria: Goals and Objectives, Design, Components and Organization,
Playability and Playfulness, and Knowledge Acquisition. All of which received a very satisfactory rating.
The statistical result on the effectiveness of the BEEP Cards was supported by the interview conducted
in the experimental group. From the interview, two emerging themes have surfaced - motivation and
active learning. The students perceived that the BEEP Cards increased learners' motivation to learn the
concepts of the lesson. Moreover, it encouraged active learning among the learners.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of the study clearly indicated that the BEEP Cards improved the performance of the
learners. The students evaluated the BEEP Cards across all the criteria as very satisfactory. The use of
BEEP Cards as a strategy induced motivation and active learning among the learners. With the
realization on the importance of learning through active engagement, the utilization of BEEP Cards as a
teaching strategy is highly recommended by the researcher for the benefit of the teacher and the learner.

High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics in its widest sense in the development of all types of format deductive reasoning.
Generally, it is said to be science of calculation. Mathematics should be visualized as the vehicle to train
a child to think, reason out, analyze, and articulate logically. Apart from being specific subject,
Mathematics should be treated as a concomitant to any subject involving analysis and meaning. Cocke
(n.d.) said that Mathematics is a way to train the minds of children in the field of reasoning. He also
added that Mathematics as a subject has a lot of practical utility in the future especially for the students
who are in the Higher Secondary level.
METHODS
The participants of the study were Grade 7 students of Mabini National High School. A total of 51
students took part in this study; 15 male and 9 female students in section A and 18 male and 9 female
students in section B. The participants were drawn from two class groups only. These participants
encountered difficulties in multiplying whole numbers.
RESULTS
The researchers utilized multiplication worksheet as an assessment tool to identify the multiplications
skills level of 51 Grade 7 students in Mabini National High School. The worksheets were collected and
checked after the respondents accomplished it. The results were analyzed by the researchers and it was
revealed that the respondents' low level of multiplication skills. Through the given exercises, it was also
observed that there were learners who were not able to answer items in the multiplication worksheet.
The researchers found out that there were learners who do not possess basic multiplication skills which
was evident by the percentage of 0%, 2% and 10%. It has also been found out that there were students
who tend to use addition instead of multiplication in accomplishing the assessment.
DISCUSSIONS
The proposed intervention program aims to improve the mathematical ability of struggling students in
Grade 7 at Mabini National High School through the employment of an integrative and innovative
scheme.
More specifically, it aims to answer the following questions:
What is the multiplication skills level of students?

Enhancing Students' Performance and Conceptual Understanding in

Isometric Drawing through the Use of Coded Plans and Structured
Isometric Paper
Margie Rosanto, Dasmarinas West National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Isometric Drawing is one of the topics being discussed in the exploratory course of Technical Drafting.
It is one of the methods of representing designs/drawings in three dimension which provides a detailed
visual representation of what a plan or object is intended to be in detail. As revealed by some studies, it
is considered to be one of the critical topics in engineering drawing subjects. In Dasmarinas West
National High School, it has been observed that the Grade 8 learners were having difficulties in
conceptualizing and demonstrating isometric drawing using proper drafting tools. This often leads to
low level of understanding and non-compliance or non-submission of performance task - which
constitute a major percentage in the grading system in the TLE subject. To combat these difficulties,
two instructional material was developed and utilized: a devised coded plan and isometric grid paper.
METHODS
This study applied the experimental method of research specifically the one-shot pretest-posttest design.
Respondents were conveniently selected and were given a pre-test which consisted of two types of
assessment: a 20-item multiple choice test intended to measure the conceptual understanding of the
leaners and an actual individual demonstration - a performance task - wherein students are to draw the
possible isometric drawing of a given plan. The use of coded plan and structured isometric paper were
incorporated during the discussion and practices. Only 25 paired scores were taken and those were from
the learners who were present and have completed the necessary procedures such as taking of pre-test
and posttest, delivery of actual discussion, exercises, and evaluation.
RESULTS
Three research questions were aimed to be answered in this research. Research question 1 and 2 intend
to find any significant differences between the pretest and posttest mean score in terms of students'
conceptual understanding and performance task respectively. Statistical analysis showed a significant
difference between the pretest and posttest for both conceptual understanding and students'
performance.
DISCUSSIONS
Results of this action research exhibited clear evidence that the combined use of a coded plan and
structured isometric paper could be an innovative and practical strategy to enhance learning in the
isometric drawing. However, in-depth research of related literature and studies is further recommended
for a more strengthened comparison of the results of the study.

Fe Amor Abuan & Edgar Sicorsicor, Bagbag National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This research primarily aims to improve the performance of the Grade 10 students in their English
subject through the use of the intervention program of Department of Education Cavite, a classroom-
based assessment on the Cognitive-Process Domain (CPD) known as SBM Project 555. The said
program specifically targets to improve the achievement level of Grade 10 students in the NAT
(National Achievement Test).
METHODS
This content-based paper was adapted from Anderson & Krathwohl (Revised Blooms Taxonomy)
Cognitive Process Dimension of HOTS questions. One learning domain was selected to be mastered
within a week. The selected section answered one CPD question every session for four days (Mondays
to Thursday) and tested the learning domain on the fifth day (Friday) using a 10-item multiple choice
type test. The performance of the students in their English subject in the first quarter was used in
selecting the participants (Quasi Group) of this project. The target performance of the aforementioned
group at the end of the second quarter was at least 75% MPS approaching the mastery level.
RESULTS
The data gathered were analyzed and compared using mean, standard deviation, mean percentage score
and t-test. The pretest and posttest results of the experimental groups were found significant and to
strengthen this result, the second quarterly examination was also used to justify the significance of the
study.
DISCUSSIONS
This study was limited only to those groups/sections with the lowest LOA (Learning outcome
Assessment) results in the English subject wherein the groups MPS (Mean Percentage Score) served as
the basis for their ranking. The effectiveness of the test was basically determined by analyzing the
pattern of test scores from several tests; one CPD question per day and one 10 - item multiple choice
type test per week.

Enhancing Student's Proficiency in Translating Mathematical Word

Problems into Algebraic Equations in Improving Proficiency in Solving
Mathematical Word Problems
Jeffrey Santos, NAIC NHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Solving mathematical word problems had been a major problem of the students in Naic National High
School. Students’ failure in solving mathematical word problems can be attributed to the use of semantic
or syntactic method to achieve an equation which is never based on any mathematical concept
(Mangulabnan, 2013). This action research focused in determining the effectivity of cultivating students'
skills in translating mathematical word problems into algebraic equations to improve their proficiency in
solving mathematical word problems.
METHODS
Single Group Pre-test Post-test Experimental Design was utilized in the study. Purposive sampling
through a pre-test was used for the identification of 107 Grade 11 students who were having difficulties
in solving mathematical word problems. The respondents have been taught how to translate
mathematical word problems into algebraic equations for eight weeks. A post-test was given to measure
the effectivity of the intervention program.
RESULTS
It was found out that there exists a significant difference between Grade 11 students' proficiency for
both translating mathematical word problems into algebraic equations and solving mathematical word
problems before and after the implementation of the intervention program. The participants progressed
from a low level to a very high level of proficiency for both competencies after the implementation of
the intervention program. Moreover, the intervention program has increased the students' proficiency
for both competencies by 152.51 % and
134.90 % respectively. Furthermore, findings of the study revealed that there was a significant
relationship between the participants' proficiency in translating mathematical word problems into
algebraic equations and their proficiency in solving mathematical word problems.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of this study demonstrate the need for Mathematics teachers to put greater emphasis on
enhancing their students' proficiency in translating mathematical word problems into algebraic equations
to improve their students' proficiency in solving mathematical word problems. Findings of this study
have revealed that translating mathematical word problems into algebraic equations is a pre-requisite
skill that all students should master for them to be able to successfully solve mathematical word
problems.

Enhancing Students' Referential and Inferential Reading Comprehension

through Directed Reading-Thing Activity
Bernardo Cristino P. Altamira & Gerlie M. Ilagan, Department of Education -

Quezon
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Students of Calauag National High School (CNHS) show lack of reading comprehension skills as
evidenced by results of national standardized tests. Due to this situation, the researchers endeavored to
implement a reading intervention using the strategy called Directed Reading-Thinking Activity for the
students of CNHS aimed at improving their reading comprehension skills. The present action research
focuses specifically on the effect of Directed Reading Thinking Activity to students' referential and
inferential comprehension skills.
METHODS
Using purposive sampling, the researchers chose one hundred fifty-two (152) Grade 7 students of
Calauag NHS as participants in the study. They were pre-tested using a researcher made reading
comprehension test to measure their current level of referential and inferential comprehension. They
were exposed to Directed-Reading Thinking Activity for twenty (20) weeks. After which, the students
were post-tested to measure the same variables.
RESULTS
Referential reading comprehension of the students improved as shown by the posttest mean (3.7) which
is higher than pretest mean (3.1). In the same manner, inferential reading comprehension improved as
evidenced by increase in mean from 2.38 pretest mean to 3.01 posttest mean.
Using the .05 level of significance, the computed t-value for referential comprehension is 10.259 which
is far higher than the critical value. This means that there was a significant difference between the pre-
test and post-test scores regarding the students' referential reading comprehension.
The computed t-value for inferential reading comprehension was 10.02 which is far higher than the
critical value. This means that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores
regarding the students' inferential reading comprehension.
DISCUSSIONS
Use of Directed Reading-Thinking Activity during the reading intervention program was found to be
effective for improving the referential and inferential reading comprehension of students.
The results of the post-test indicated that Directed Reading-Thinking Activity was an effective strategy
for improving the comprehension skills of students. It confirmed the claim made by Yazdani and
Mohamaddi (2015) and Somadayo, et. al. (2013) that the steps involved in DRTA, namely making
predictions, confirming and refuting predictions, and modifying predictions helped in keeping students
engaged in the materials that they read, thereby improving their comprehension levels.

Program
Sheene T. Torrefranca
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the most indispensable means of communication is language. This makes language as one of the
most substantial elements of education and literacy. Its efficiency and commands come with the mastery
in received and productive skills. With an important skill, especially in English, it is taught as a foreign
language. Furthermore, an intervention was suggested to enhance the academic and creative writing
skills among secondary students.
METHODS
A multiple research design was used in this study. Purposive sampling was utilized in this research since
all students needed to unceasingly broaden their vocabulary but focusing more to those who needed
immediate attention were chosen. Analysis, as to who were the respondents to be selected, was done
based on the causes that emerged during the data triangulation.
RESULTS
From the 62 respondents participated in the study, 12 students were identified with problems in making
written compositions due to poor vocabulary. This resulted to the need of assistance in order for them
to express their minds, face complications, and lead to undesirable learning experience. Using the
innovation, students were exposed to new words, acquired vocabulary, and improved their written
output. Since vocabulary development is an attainable goal, it is an effective instruction to allow students
to acquire vocabulary with challenging texts for students’ progress in academic writing.
DISCUSSIONS
The result establishes the importance of students’ exposure to new words. Utilizing innovation shows
the significant progress of the students in academic writing. In addition to that, it is evident that
vocabulary has a direct relationship to students' performance, New obtained words must also be used in
context in order for the students to remember and understand through writing activities such as journals
or diaries as their outlets of ideas and channel of expression.

Enhancing Teachers and Pupils Productivity Performance in Science and

Mathematics 6
Ariel Garcia
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The implementation of the K to 12 Program in Program in 2011 has marked the greatest reform in the
System of Education in the Philippines. The change in the curriculum is based on the performance of
the Philippines in the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study wherein the Philippines ranked 42nd
among other countries in the world. 7 years after the implementation in 2011, several assessments have
been given to pupils and teachers teaching Science and Mathematics. This study aims to assess both level
of performance based on the results of the National Achievement Test for 6 pupils and Process Skills
Test for Grade 6 teachers teaching Science and Mathematics.
METHODS
Mixed-method of research was used in this study to determine the level of performance of the Grade 6
teachers and learners in terms of Process Skills in Science and Mathematics and the result of the
National Achievement Test for Grade 6 in Science and Mathematics.
RESULTS
The results showed that the Grade 6 pupils from 47 schools obtained a mean score of 64.843 with the
standard deviation of 1,819 and the Science and Mathematics teachers obtained a mean score of 55.406
with a standard deviation of 1.456. The t-test for dependent samples were computed to find the
significant difference between pupils and teachers’ performance in Science and Mathematics. A t-value
of 1.074 was obtained which was lower the 1.960 at 0.05 level that rejected the null hypothesis.
DISCUSSIONS
The level of Process Skills test is the baseline information of providing technical assistance by the
Education Program Supervisors to Grade 6 teachers and performance coaching for SH. As a result,
students do not usually learn using inappropriate pedagogical approach in teaching Science and
Mathematics. Meanwhile, it is also suggested that there must be an increase of teachers’ salaries in order
to meet their personal and professional needs.
It can also be observed that there are many factors that can affect the level of competence of Grade 6
teachers such as teachers’ college degree, their years in service and years in teaching the subject, the
frequency of observations of the SH and EPS, the training needs of teachers analysis of teachers, and
development of instructional materials. Through the SDO- Human Resource Training and
Development Section, trainings on improving and preparing instructional materials on how to manage
classrooms effectively and values integration can enhance Process Skills Test for Grade 6 teachers.
Lastly, students are not exposed in some activities in Science and Mathematics such as field trip and the
like.

The researchers used the data gathering procedures namely: observation and comparative analysis. The
researcher gathered necessary data from teachers that attempted to answer the questions of the problem.
The primary aim of the researcher in this study was to assess the increase in students’ attendance and
test scores through utilization of technology tools to improve student learning and motivation among
grade four pupils at San Luis Elementary School.
For the attainment of the objective of this study, observation forms, questionnaire, and data gathered
during the focus group discussion were maximized.
Comparative analysis in educational research was used in an attempt to the descriptive method used in
data gathering. The researcher distributed the prepared questionnaires and checklist to the subject-
respondents of the study.
RESULTS
The researcher administered the surveys (See Appendix A and Appendix B) and collected the students’
and teachers’ data. The data consisted of answers from the questions of the pre and post activity,
compared and analyzed by the researcher. The researcher compared and analyzed the data. The data
analysis indicated whether students' motivation improved when a teacher added technology tools into
the classroom curriculum, regardless of whether the students are average, inclusion, or fast learners.
Answers to the instruments were placed on an Excel spreadsheet and then compared by the researcher
who then published the results to the students and teachers who took the survey.
DISCUSSIONS
The purpose of this study was to decide if the utilization of technology tools increased motivation,
student attendance, and grades in grade four students in San Luis Elementary School by administering a
survey to students and teachers. Dwyer (1994) stated to fully integrate technology; the educator typically
experiences five stages.

Enhancing Teaching Skills of the Teachers through Educational

Technology in Tangob Elementary School
Lorena Valdez, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The changing instructional approach is no easy task particularly when technology is involved. Still, there
are teachers that have difficulties in adopting technology in their everyday lives. They tend to take
seminars for them to be more knowledgeable in the use of educational technology and the enhancement
of their skills in using technology. Using technology and multimedia sources effectively in teaching
draws on two separate skills. It usually takes time for teachers to gain facility with the equipment and
computer programs needed for displaying multimedia in the classroom. Hooking up a laptop to various
projectors, DVD players and other equipment in a classroom can be complicated and acquiring
confidence using potentially new programs to present films, music, images, or web-based material
requires practice.
METHODS
This action research embarked on intervention activities that aimed to enhance teaching skills of the
teachers in Tangob Elementary School in school year 2017- 2018. This qualitative research used
stratified sampling in selecting respondents. Furthermore, a questionnaire was used to attain the
objective of this study.
RESULTS
Based on the gathered data, it was found out that 90% of the teachers always used laptop, 100% used
printers, 80% sometimes used the projector and 80% always used LED television. According to the
performance of teachers using technology, 70% of the teachers have an average of 80% - 84% which is
satisfactory and 30% got very satisfactory. Data showed that more than half of the teachers needed
improvement in teaching skills using technology.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate that some teachers find difficulty in using technology. Using technology in the
classroom makes learning more motivating, technology makes teaching and learning process creative and
effective. It is recommended to train teachers to teach more ways of using technology as instructional
materials, establish technology competencies for teachers, and teachers must be encouraged to explore
themselves to technology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teachers spend much time in thinking ways and strategies in teaching Science. However, there are still
problems that arise in the academic performance of the pupils. Based on the result of the quarterly test,
low academic performance in Grade 6 Science has been observed in Bayanan Elementary School.
With this situation, Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM) has been selected as a form of intervention for
the purpose of enhancing pupils academic performance which has been used as a teaching aid and in
the teaching methods to stimulate the mind of the learners while doing activities and also to increase
their level of understanding.
In this study, the researcher aims to determine the effectiveness of the teacher-made Strategic
Intervention Materials in enhancing the academic performance of Grade 6 pupils in Science in the
specified competency.
METHODS
Descriptive and comparative research methods were used in this study. The pupils took the test twice as
pretest and posttest. In the pretest, pupils did not use SIM as review exercises before taking the test and
in the posttest, pupils used SIM as review exercises before taking the test. A test with 10 items was
accomplished by the respondents. The test consisted easy, average, and difficult questions.
RESULTS
Pupils got least mastered in classifying vertebrate animals’ competency with 47.38% or 34 out of 71
pupils in pretest. After using SIM as an exercise, pupils mastered the competency with 91.54% or 65 out
of 71 pupils in the posttest. Pupils find it interesting, enjoyable, and have contributed positive attitude
towards Science. The findings revealed that Strategic Intervention Materials were not only for the
teachers’ convenience but also for the learners. Through Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM), the
pupils' academic performance in Science improved.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the result of the test, it showed a slight improvement on the pupils’ ability. Pupils exposed to
SIM performed better in the posttest than the pretest. The result of observation implied that the
employment of Strategic Intervention Materials gave a positive effect to the enhancement of pupils’
academic performance in Science. Thus, it is recommended for further studies to vary kinds of SIM.

Abanador Rhea Rose Manalo & Orias Ana Rose Diocton, San Pascual Senior High
School 1
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Skills in Mathematics are very important in today's world of technology. Despite the cited importance of
Mathematics, many students still view it as a difficult subject. To deal with this problem, teachers have
to assess their students in terms of the pre-requisite skills, what their levels of proficiency are, and how
well they mastered the relevant skills. Upon determining these factors, teachers will be able to carry
more effective instructions. Hence, the researchers conducted a study to determine the difficulties of
students in the basic skills which are necessary to better understand and master the competencies in
General Mathematics. This also determined the features of peer tutorial as one of the strategies which
the researchers utilized. After conducting the peer tutorial, the academic performance of students in
General Mathematics was assessed.
METHODS
The respondents of this study were the 47 Grade 11 STEM students of San Pascual Senior High School
1 for the first semester of school year 2018-2019. The descriptive-survey method was used in this study.
The researcher used questionnaires and tests as the main data gathering tools. The tutorial was
conducted every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:30- 4:00 in the afternoon. As an indicator of
the effectiveness of the peer tutorial, the academic performance of the students was recorded and
analyzed weekly.
RESULTS
Data gathered from the respondents revealed the following: (1) There are different basic skills in
General Mathematics which students experience difficulties with. (2) Peer tutorial is one intervention
program which can enhance students' academic performance. (3) As reflected in average weekly CPL,
there is an increase in the level of academic performance before and after the peer tutorial. (4) There is a
significant difference in the levels of academic performance in General Mathematics as reflected in the
average weekly CPL.
DISCUSSIONS
Relevant findings would help enhance students' academic performance in General Mathematics through
mastery of basic skills. Peer Tutorial strategy removed the barrier caused by shyness of some students to
ask questions from the teacher. There was a greater chance of understanding since students' context of
communication is the same. Activity sheets with multiple exercises of varying levels of difficulty were
provided. Students were given more chances to master the skills by answering the exercises, thus,
addressing the spiral nature of Mathematics.

met in mathematical problems and to improve their analytical skills in solving word problem through
intervention activities and Remedial Program called, “I Can Solve It”.
METHODS
The qualitative study was carried out on Grade 6 - Cattleya at West Bauan Central School which was
composed of 19 boys and 29 girls with a total of 48 pupils. Pupils took a pretest and posttest design to
measure their proficiency level and find their weaknesses or unmastered skills in problem solving
through item analysis. Apart from the test given, focused group interviews were conducted, recorded,
and transcribed. During the implementation of "I Can Solve It”, pupils were given word problems to
solve either with partner or small groups or individually. They were given practice problem daily.
RESULTS
Data findings gathered from the pre-test administered showed that respondents encountered difficulties
in many mathematical problem-solving skills such as determining the operation or strategies to use and
writing the appropriate equation that leads to incorrect solution. After exposing the learners to "I Can
Solve It", the performance level of the pupils improved by 22.16% for the class attained a PL of 87.41
and MPS of 75.42. There were no longer pupils who did not meet expectations. The number of pupils
who were fairly satisfactory was lowered to 5 out of 48 pupils which is 11% while 15% of the pupils
were satisfactory. From 0% in the pretest, 29% of the pupils became very satisfactory while 45%
achieved the performance level of outstanding in the posttest. As a whole, the class has a performance
level of very satisfactory. Results showed the effectiveness of the program.
DISCUSSIONS
For the learners to be able to analyze and solve mathematical word problems with accuracy, vocabulary
development, and comprehension skills should be developed among them leading to the improvement
of the analytical skills needed in answering word problems. Furthermore, the remedial program "I Can
Solve It" can help the pupils enhance their analytical skills in solving word problems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The ability to read and comprehend plays a vital role in the learning process of the pupils. This makes
reading a basic skill to be learned in order for them to become a holistic individual. This emphasizes the
importance of being equipped with the appropriate tools in teaching reading. With this, it has been
observed that the comprehension skills of the pupils of Paaralang Elementarya ng Buhaynaspa need
improvements. In this study, the researcher aims to seek for an intervention program to deliver a
change.
METHODS
Descriptive approach was utilized to propose intervention program to enhance comprehension skills of
the pupils. In data gathering the manual of administration of the Phil IRI, teachers’ and pupils’ copy was
utilized. To determine the common difficulties in reading, the use of questionnaires and checklist in data
gathering were utilized. Moreover, the researcher conducted an interview among reading teachers and
the design of the research compilation followed three phases; the input, the process, and the output.
RESULTS
From the data gathered, analyzed, and interpreted, it was found out that there was almost half of the
enrollment who were in the frustration level. Problems rooted on the fact that they really do not
comprehend what they read. Decoding was easy but grasping the meaning was not evident. Difficulty in
answering evaluation and integration level of comprehension questions was noted. More so, the
respondents could not answer critical level of questions. It was noted that pupils under frustration level
needed attention and must be given remediation. Some respondents suggested to design another
intervention that would suit the needs of the pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of this study deemed it necessary to implement appropriate reading intervention program to
improve reading comprehension of the pupils. To give solution to the problem, seminar-workshop
should be conducted to upgrade the teaching competencies of the reading teachers. It is also
recommended that an intervention program must be designed based on the needs of the grade three
pupils and implement the intervention program to minimize the reading difficulties of the pupils and
improve their reading ability. Lastly, parents and the community in the implementation of the
intervention program must be involved.

Enhancing the Computational Skills of Pupils through Project DRIM (Drill

in Mathematics)
Josefina Mojica, Department of Education - Cavite
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Helping children learn the basic Math skills is an important goal in an everyday Mathematics curriculum.
Today, most pupils and teachers are unable to understand the importance of drill. Mostly are motivated
to obtain something without effort. By the end of the 2nd Grading, most pupils should have developed
an automatic recall of basic addition and subtraction facts and know most of 1,2,5 and 10 multiplication
facts by the end of third grade most pupils should have an automatic recall of basic multiplication facts
and familiar with the basic division facts. At the beginning of fourth grade multiplication and division
are reinforced. The Pre- test on Computational Skills as well as the result of Inventory Test in
Mathematics for Grade IV of Buna Lejos Elementary School showed no mastery of the basic
multiplication and division facts. Project DRIM (Drill in Mathematics) was used to increase their
academic performance in Mathematics
METHODS
Project DRIM in Mathematics used a Continuous Improvement (CI) Approach to come up with
Mathematics Intervention (Drill in Mathematics). We followed the followed the 3 A's method with the
10 step CI Approach, Assess, Analyze and Act.
RESULTS
After the Post -Test on Computational Skills in Mathematics, the pupils demonstrated mastery of the
four fundamental operations. They were able to overcome the fear of Mathematics.
DISCUSSIONS
Math performance at our school has been dramatically improved by using drill every day. Pre-test and
Post-test showed that there is a great improvement in the mathematical skills of our pupils. Drills can
provide an important "practice phase" to instruction and can be useful learning information that requires
fluency such as Math skills.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is a powerful tool of the mind. It is regarded as a major core of cognitive learning and said
to be the foundation of logical thinking and judgment. Knowing the fact that it is one of the most
important subjects because all people use Mathematics all the time, from the moment people wake up
and close their eyes to rest at night. However, among all the subjects, it is said to be one of the most
difficult, because it involves numbers, equations and word problems our pupils do not like. The
researcher was prompted to conduct a study about it because most of the pupils were not participative.
On the part of the teacher it is really alarming and teachers need to address the problem. Teachers need
to develop in them a positive attitude toward the subject to be able to learn the subject and improve
their performance in Mathematics using E-Games which somehow enhances their performance inside
the classroom during Mathematics time.
METHODS
The researcher made used of experimental method of research. This method attempts to find out the
prevailing conditions and manipulates one or more variables and control and measure any change in
other variables. The researcher taught the lesson using two methods which are traditional and the
application of E-games.
RESULTS
During the educative process, the pupils were able to express themselves, very eager and excited for
each question presented by the teacher. Eventually, it was observed that pupils have a deep
understanding of the lesson because of the method being applied by the teacher. The use E-Games
helped the fourth graders demonstrate understanding of the given concepts because applying this
physical manipulation tool of objects to explore the structure. Likewise, pupils easily visualized the topic
and they can easily communicate the mathematics language using the different effects that were catchy
during the teaching and learning process.
DISCUSSIONS
The results implied that utilizing E-games during the teaching- learning process helped in improving
pupils' participation in learning Mathematics. With the usage of E-games, the topic presented by the

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Students should learn how to use English grammar properly to improve communication skills. There are
varied strategies used by the teachers in order to impart to the students how to be effective in English
grammar; however, since students nowadays are millennials, they want to learn in a modern way and
through the use of technology. Hence, this study may serve as a reference to English teachers in
providing reinforcement activities and innovation that would enhance the students' grammar skills
through the use of E-games.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was utilized in this study to determine the major factors that affect
the grammar skills in English of Grade 10 students. Purposive sampling was also used which was a non-
probability sample based on characteristics of a population and the objective of the study. The
participants used were the 25 Grade 10 - Narra students who answered the questionnaire.
RESULTS
The research revealed that the major factors that affect the grammar skills of Grade 10-Narra students
were lack of interest in grammar, poor reading habit, and lack of practice in writing. The study also
showed the modern teaching strategies like collaboration and provision of electronic exercises to capture
the interest of the students in learning grammar. Since developing grammar skills is one of the
interesting challenges especially to the Grade 10 students, motivational reading exercises could help
enhance the learners' grammar skills. Moreover, writing exercises in terms of electronic games help
enhance the knowledge of the students in grammar.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings recommend the use of reinforcement exercises and innovation like E-games to enhance the
grammar skills of the students in English. The English teachers should continue using the modern
teaching strategies to make learning meaningful to the 21st century learners.

(Harvard, 2009). It is now recognized that the formative years of life are the most important for learning
when foundations for the future are laid. The goal of this study is to assess and enhance the
Kindergarten learners' mastery level in Numeracy at Arawan Elementary School, S.Y. 2017-2018.
METHODS
The study used the quasi-experimental method of research design focusing on fourteen (14)
respondents, who were identified slightly delayed and significantly delayed in their numeracy skills based
on their ECCD (Early Childhood Development) result. The result of the report progress card who were
under Beginning in their mastery level with an indicator of rarely demonstrates the expected competency
and rarely participates in class activities and/or initiates independent works were taken into
consideration.
RESULTS
Data showed that learners improved their mastery level in Numeracy having a consistent level with
always performs task, advance in some aspect as indicator. However, there are other two competencies
under the developing mastery level having an indicator of sometimes participates, minimal supervision
and sometimes demonstrates the competency respectively. The researcher observed that young learners
need not to be confined with just sitting and using two parts of their body in learning; rather teacher
must use their five senses in learning the subject. Hence, the respondents are now capable of
participating and demonstrating the basic knowledge in Numeracy (Mathematics) which is essential in
entering formal schooling in Grade I.
DISCUSSIONS
Data showed that learners improved their mastery level in Numeracy having a consistent level with
always performs task, advance in some aspect as indicator. However, there are other two competencies
were under the developing mastery level having an indicator of sometimes participates, and sometimes
demonstrates the competency respectively. Kindergarten learners are expected to have meaningful
experiences using different techniques in teaching the subject like inclusion of play in learning, singing,
dancing and repeated instruction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The shift in curriculum brought chaos to teaching staff in terms of approaches to be applied. To uplift
the performance of schools through the help of top performing schools, Department of Education
launched the School-to-School Partnership Program. The program gave way to one of the top
performing schools to share their expertise in terms of applying different pedagogical approaches under
the K to 12 Program. This study assessed the impact of the training provided by the leader school to the
partner school.
METHODS
A descriptive qualitative research design was used. A survey was conducted through questionnaires
before and after the program to the 25 faculties in Cuenca National High School during the school year
2016 - 2017. The significant difference in teacher's perception in the survey before and after the training
was analyzed. A matrix was also created to analyze the teachers' knowledge and practice of different
pedagogies. It was supported by testimonies by the teachers who undergo training and the results of
classroom observation.
RESULTS
Teachers' perception of how much they know and practice a certain pedagogy differs greatly before and
after the training was provided by the leader school. A highly significant difference in teachers'
knowledge and practice was evident in the use of a collaborative approach and not significant in the use
of a constructivist approach but the overall interpretation was highly significant on the approaches
prescribed by the K to 12 program, the 2C 2I 1R - Constructivist, Collaborative, Integrative, Inquiry-
based, and Reflective. A 2x2 matrix was constructed to clearly illustrate which approach and strategy
appear to be high or low in terms of knowledge and practice.
DISCUSSIONS
The result clearly says that there has been an improvement but there is still a big room for improvement.
Continues training and workshop for teachers through the help of colleagues and peers may deliver
more positive results in terms of pedagogies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Difficulties in learning Mathematics is a common problem among pupils of all ages. These learning
difficulties range from mild to severe and may require instructional attention and various treatment
methods. One of the difficulties is anxiety that can lead to a negative attitude towards Math. It is more
important to help our pupils acquire a positive perception in Mathematics through E-learning games. In
Paaralang Elementarya ng Palahanan, one of the priorities cited in School Improvement Plan is
Mathematics. Pupils lack the application of skills and techniques that will help them develop their critical
thinking, reasoning power, and creativity which they use in working independently in Math activities.
The teachers observed that there are pupils that have problems in applying the four fundamental
operation skills such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing numbers. Their failure in
Mathematics is due to their difficulty in applying these skills. This study aims to find solution that could
assist the Grade 6 pupils of Paaralang Elementarya ng Palahanan in enhancing the least mastered skills
using E-Learning games.
METHODS
The researcher used a descriptive method through questionnaires to gather data for the research. The set
of questionnaires was developed to determine the effects of E-Learning Games in enhancing the four
fundamental operation and other least mastered skills. The respondents of the study were 111 Grade Six
Pupils at Paaralang Elementarya ng Palahanan.
RESULTS
The study revealed the following results: (1) E-Learning Games enhanced the mastery learning and
comprehension of Grade Six pupils in multiplication skills (2) E-Learning Games stimulated, motivated
and sustained pupils' interest (3) E-Learning Games improved the teaching strategy in Mathematics in
Multiplication skills and other least mastered skills particularly.
DISCUSSIONS
The result paved way to encourage and motivate teachers to use E-Learning Games in Four
Fundamental Operation to enhance pupils' performance in Mathematics. Integration of E-Learning
Games should not only be used in teaching Mathematics but also with other subjects. The school head
and the ICT teachers should encourage and support the use of E-Learning Games in Mathematics and
in other subjects.

Sonia Buarao
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This action research is funded by the Basic Education Research Fund (BERF). It is a descriptive type of
research which aimed to enhance the mastery skills in grade XI Mathematics through Project (SON)
Students Opportunity on Numeracy. The respondents are the grade XI students of San Lorenzo
National High School, Tabaco City. Project SON is a form of innovative materials in mathematics
proposed by the researcher to improve learning.
METHODS
The main instrument used to gather data are the pretest and posttest. Another data to be considered are
the least mastered skills identified during the pretest. The statistical tools used are the mean, PL and the
t-test and to answer the significant difference between the means, the t-test was used to correlate the
values of the pretest and posttest.
RESULTS
The researcher concluded that after conducting the pretest, several least mastered competencies were
identified such as representing real life situation using function, evaluating functions, performing
composition of function, solving problems involving functions and rational functions. These
competencies were given priority for interventions. After analyzing the test items, findings showed that
the mean and the PL in the posttest was higher than that the pretest. There was 16.67 % increase in the
mean and 33% increase in the PL.
DISCUSSIONS
This action research provided multiple strategies and interventions toward enhancing mastery skills in
Grade 11 Mathematics. The Pearson product Moment of Coefficient of Correlation (r) was -0.53 which
was qualitatively described as moderately high. This was an implication that after series of interventions,
there was an improvement in the performance level of the students. There was also a significant
difference between the pretest and the posttest since the computed value of t = 3.95 was greater than
the critical value of 2.201. Using the t-test for correlated sample at 0.05, the hypothesized mean
difference was 0 and the degree of freedom df= n-1 was equal to 40. Therefore, the level of significance
was at t.05 = 2.201 or 95% confidence level. The t- computed value of -2.704 was beyond the critical
value of - 2.403 at 0.05 level of significance with 40 degrees of freedom. This indicated that learning
took place after several interventions given to the students. It also implied that remediation was an
effective tool in raising the performance of the Grade 11 students.

Elementary School
Cecilia Maala, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Among the many subjects in the curriculum, Reading is the most important that is why it is considered
as the basic subject among them all. Every teacher should therefore pay a very special attention to the
proper development of pupils’ ability along this line. It is the springboard from which their ability in the
other subjects are based upon.
METHODS
Multiple method design, collaborative approach, and survey were used. The researchers also conducted
an interview to find out how they implemented and alleviated the different strategies they applied. The
respondents were the 35 Grade 3 - Jasmine Class in Subic Elementary School.
RESULTS
The problem was analyzed. The results were tabulated and evaluated which showed the following causes
to the problem: lack of interest in reading, pronunciation drill before every formal reading lesson, poor
vocabulary, lack of oral reading practice, and inadequacy of suitable reading materials. The following
difficulties were noted: mispronunciation, substitution, omission, repetition and addition. The researcher
then used the following solutions to improve their oral reading ability: praising, commending, and
extending congratulations to those who showed progress in oral reading. Furthermore, more oral
reading practices, oral reading contests, pronunciation drills, and more vocabulary development made
them strive hard in reading orally. The availability of more books, videos, and other reading materials
with attractive pictures, and short interesting stories in the reading corner encouraged the pupils to read
more often. Pupils that were motivated to read, developed confidence and competence among pupils, as
proven by the result in different contests.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results in the pretest and posttest, the oral reading conducted and the different reading
strategies gave positive effects in the oral reading ability of the pupils.
Teachers' improvement in their teaching methods and use of varied techniques arouse pupils' interest.
Also, considering learners as unique individuals having different interests, appropriate measures must be
done like persistent coaching to the slow learners. Encouraging parents’ involvement in the studies of
their children, especially those who have problems in reading, helps a lot.

Nedie Sevilla
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The language of Mathematics is based on rules that must be learned but it is important that students
move beyond rules to be able to express things in the language of Mathematics. This involves renewed
effort to focus on: seeking solutions, not just memorizing procedures; formulating conjectures, not just
doing exercises; exploring patterns, not just memorizing formulas.
An effective way of doing this is to extend "exercises" to "problems" but most of the learning materials
available in the field do not have that kind of "problems" which will make the students come up with
different strategies in solving word "problems" in Mathematics. Thus, the researcher came up with an
instructional material which will expose different problem-solving heuristics in solving "problems" in
Mathematics.
METHODS
The method employed in the study was pre - experimental design specifically one - group pretest
posttest design. The respondents of the study were purposively chosen. There were thirteen (13) Grade
11 STEM students who took the test before and after the intervention. The resource material developed
by the researcher was composed of seven (7) different problem-solving heuristics which the researcher
introduced to the respondents during the intervention period.
RESULTS
The result showed that the respondents' performance in solving problems in Mathematics was very low.
An average score of 2.3 was very low considering that the respondents were enrolled in a STEM class.
This was an implication that even STEM students perform low in solving problems in Mathematics. A
performance level of 17.8% was very low as compared to the passing performance level set by the
Department of Education which is 75.00%.
During the posttest, the respondents' average score was 10 with a variance of 2.167 and a performance
level of 76.9%. By implication, this would mean a positive change in the performance of the respondents
after the intervention administered to them.
A performance level of 76.9% was an indication that the respondents achieved more than that of the
standard passing performance level set by the Department. Though there was still a slim margin of
1.9%, this showed that the standard performance level can be achieved whenever the intervention done
was effective.
The result showed that there was a significant difference in the performance of the respondents in
solving problems in Mathematics before and after the intervention.
DISCUSSIONS
The use of the Teacher Made Resource Material on Problem Solving Heuristics (TMRMPSH) was
effective in improving the performance of the students in solving word "problems" in Mathematics. The
features of the intervention material can be used by both the teachers and the students in exploring
different problem-solving heuristics in Mathematics. Sample "problems" presented in the material were
contextualized and based on real - life scenarios which might have motivated the students to solve the
word "problems".

Enhancing the Performance of the Learners Using Teacher- Made

Learners’ Materials (TMLM's) in General Physics 2
Joebert Rivera, Teacher
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The teacher, as the implementer of the curriculum, must take initiative in improving the performance of
the learners. The implementation of K to 12 Basic Education has brought a great challenge to the
curriculum makers, administrators, and teachers. It cannot be denied that until now, the Department of
Education finds it hard to meet the needs of schools in the delivery of the basic services to the students.
The lack of reference materials in teaching the core and specialized subjects in Senior High School is one
of these problems. In order to address the posed challenge, the proponent developed learning materials
in General Physics 2 and has tested its effectiveness in improving the performance of the learners in
selected topics.
METHODS
This study was an experimental type of research making use of pre-experimental designs of one group
pretest-posttest. This study made use of purposive sampling in determining the respondents. This type
of sampling design was used since there were only 12 STEM students in Grade 12 of Buga National
High School. The researcher considered all of the 12 students as respondents of the study. The
following steps were made: (1) Preparation and Validation of the Teacher-Made Learners’ Materials
(TMLM's) in General Physics 2, (2) Pretest, (3) Administering the Treatment, (4) Posttest, and (5) Data
Analysis.
RESULTS
The study was conducted from January 2018 to March 2018. The main respondents were 12 STEM
students. A 30 - item pretest and posttest was used to substantiate the effectiveness of the Teacher Made
Learners Materials. The result of the pretest and posttest were subjected to the following statistical
treatment: mean, PL, and t-test. As a result, the student respondents obtained a mean of 9.00 during
Pretest and 24.75 in the Post Test. This showed that the mean score increased during the posttest. The
Performance Level (PL) during Pretest was 30.00 and 82.50. These data depicted that there was an
improvement in the performance of the learners in the selected topics of General Physics 2 and this
increase in the performance can be attributed to the use of TMLM.
The computed t-test value was 13.63 while tabular value was 2.20. It can be deduced from the result that
the computed value was greater than the tabular value which indicated that there was a significant
difference in the performance of the learners in the pretest and posttest. Hence, the TMLM was
effective as intervention materials in improving the performance of the learners in the selected topics of
General Physics 2.
DISCUSSIONS
The TMLM was effective in improving the performance of the learners in the selected topics of General
Physics 2. The features of the TMLM may have motivated the learners to accomplish the learning
materials. Moreover, the following may have contributed to the increase in the level of performance of
the learners: the presentation of the science concepts was simplified and contextualized, speak at the
level of the learners, and utilized stimulating graphics and pictures.

Enhancing the Poor Performance of Grade 9 Yakal in Science Subject

through Reward System
Ronalyn Lunar
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
People says that education is the most powerful weapon that they can use to change the world.
Education is important in life because it gives people the skills and tools that they need to navigate the
world. Without it, people would not be able to read, write, calculate or communicate; they would also
not be able to perform jobs competently, accurately, and safely. Education also teaches people about the
world in which they live, including information about history, philosophy and culture.
This action research aims to educate the readers about the impact of motivation and a reward system in
the learning outcome of students. Readers can improve students’ outcomes with the help of motivation.
METHODS
Helping students understand better in the classroom is one primary concerns of every teacher. The
researcher prepared, used, and conducted different methods and strategies with reward system to
motivate the students to learn. Some of the methods were points system where each of them was given
incentives as they participated well in class activity. Second, a sense of responsibility where students
perform classroom duties and enjoy the task. Third, a chance to work in a group since Science teaching
is more on discovery approach. Moreover, other methods included giving of praises when earned,
encouraging self-reflection, developing sense of excitement, knowing the students' interests, giving of
feedback, offering chances to improve and motivating students for success.
RESULTS
Teachers agreed that the usage of such teaching methods to create motivation in students were effective.
It was clear from the data that teachers used methods that were according to the students’ needs and
interest. For every category, it was observed that more than half of the class respondents affirmed that
they were always prepared in their Science class. It was a great achievement that they really showed their
love to the subject and even to their Science teacher.
DISCUSSIONS
Reward system may improve students' participation in class. Appraisal, pointing system, pride of the
group, even giving simple prizes are just some examples of reward systems that teachers can give to their
students. Teachers must know the psychology of students. Teachers must follow the new trends in
education. Most importantly, teachers must give their heart to their work to feel the fulfillment and
satisfaction in teaching.

Enhancing the Reading Comprehension Ability through Remedial

Teaching among the Grade 7 Students of Looc National High School, SY
2016- 2017
Catherine Pesimo, Department of Education - Batangas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
An individual ability to comprehend text is influenced by their traits and skills, one of which is the ability
to make inferences. If word recognition is difficult, students use too much of their processing capacity
to read individual words which interferes with their ability to comprehend what is read. Reading
comprehension is the act of understanding what one is reading. It is an intentional, active, interactive
process that occurs before, during, and after a person reads a particular piece of writing. While the
definition can be simply stated the act is no simple to teach, learn or practice.
METHODS
This study aimed to enhance the reading comprehension ability of Grade 7 students during the school
year 2016 - 2017 in Looc National High School, Looc, Nasugbu, Batangas. This study provided relevant
data on the reading comprehension of students which can be used as basis in enhancing students’
services particularly in guidance and counseling. This descriptive qualitative research sought to find
answers to the questions that needed concrete answers. It sought to realize the objectives in determining
the levels of comprehension of the students in Grade 7. Furthermore, the researcher also used the
survey method.
RESULTS
At first, students felt that they only need to attend just because teachers required them to attend. They
thought of it as something difficult because instead of going home early, they were asked to attend to
this activity first. As they continued, they became aware that they really needed it for they felt that there
was a problem in their reading comprehension. Every activity became an enjoyable event for them. They
tried harder in order to get high score in every activity even if they have been getting got low scores
most of the time. However, they still continued to study harder and understand every selection and
activities that they need to accomplish. The researcher felt troubled whenever the learners feel
hopelessness during the times when they were unable to provide correct answers. However, whenever
they acquire high scores, the students felt happy and proud of themselves. With this, they improved
their reading and comprehension skills.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher found out that several aspects of teaching such as usage of varied materials, practice of
vocabulary, use of teaching strategies, and even the support from parents can be of help in enhancing
the reading comprehension of students.

Enhancing the Reading Comprehension Level of Grade 2 Pupils of

Candelaria Elementary School 1& 2 through Project CALIBER
Annalyn Tabas, Rizalina Rodil, & Edeliza Narra, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Results of the 2017 Phil-IRI Pre-test in English revealed that 50% of the Grade 2 pupils belongs to the
Frustration level, and 35.49% are non-readers. The main reason of the problem is pupils' poor reading
comprehension which can be rooted from lack of one-on-one practice in reading and lack of practice in
answering questions about a story. With this kind of result, it is necessary that a reading intervention
program be given to the said pupils to address the root cause of the problem and a research to be
conducted to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
METHODS
This study was conducted to all grade two pupils of Candelaria Elementary School 1&2 using the quasi-
experimental design. The pupils were pre-tested using a story with 10 comprehension questions. After
giving the Basic Everyday Reading Pamphlet, which is composed of word lists and 20 stories with five
comprehension questions, a posttest comprising of another story with 10 comprehension questions was
administered to the pupils. Mean scores of the pupils in the pretest and posttests were taken in order to
determine the effect of Project CALIBER in the pupils' comprehension. T- test for dependent sample
was utilized to find if there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores regarding
the pupils' comprehension.
RESULTS
Table 1. Pre-test and post-test mean result
Pre- test Posttest Computed t- value Tabular Value (.05) 3.77

Result showed an increase in post-test mean which signified improvement in comprehension skills of
the pupils as presented in Table 1. Pupils got an average score of 3.77 in the pretest and 5.49 in the
posttest which showed an increase of 1.72. It supported the statement of Coyne, Zipoli, & Ruby (2006)
that early intervention can be of help to the students’ success in enhancing their reading competencies.
Moreover, t-test showed significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores with a computed
t- value of 7.84 which was higher than the tabular value of 1.97 at .05 level of significance.
DISCUSSIONS
The results implied that early intervention can help young pupils to meet success in reading. Based on
the results of the pretests and posttests, it is insinuated that Project CALIBER was an effective tool in
enhancing the reading comprehension skills of Candelaria Elementary School 1 & 2 though adequacy of
time in administering the intervention was indispensable.

Cynthia Vida & Eden Acal, Batangas Research Association For Value-Driven
Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is the key to skillful learning and being able to read is very important for better living. Learners
who read well develop better understanding and effectively adjust towards life's situations. When
learners understand what they read, they could identify, classify, build, organize, synthesize, adjust and
arrive at proper decisions. The study aimed to improve the reading comprehension ability of pupils. It
also aimed to find out the reading comprehension level of Grade IV pupils as revealed by the Philippine
Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI), the causes of poor comprehension, the effect of extensive
reading and vocabulary development on the reading comprehension of the pupils, and the plan of action
to further improve the reading comprehension of Grade IV pupils of Kaylaway Elementary School
using extensive reading and vocabulary development.
METHODS
This descriptive study was confined only at determining the levels of the pupils’ reading comprehension
ability and in designing a lesson model to enhance pupils’ reading comprehension skills. The
respondents were thirty-seven grade four pupils of Kaylaway Elementary School which consist of 21
males and 16 females.
RESULTS
Based on the post-test conducted by the School English Coordinator, a great improvement in the
number of pupils belonging to the frustration level took place compared to the initial test results which
is 37 or 100% to 16 or 43.24%. This means that effective remedial reading program using extensive
reading and vocabulary development is built for intensive administration of reading instruction regularly
so that reading difficulties will be corrected.

Lanie Sy, Mryna Ariola, & Richelle Contreras, Department of Education - San Jose
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is considered an important skill that should be acquired by every individual. It is a primary tool
in the development of a total human being. One of the most common problems faced by students today
is that they are losing their interest in reading. In such case, the students should be brought to the act of
reading and his or her interest in the content and self-efficacy as a reader. The seeming task of bringing
the interest of the students in reading requires effective strategies or activities.
Based on the result of Pretest in Phil-IRI among grade three pupils, it was found that most of the pupils
belong to the frustration level. In connection with this, the study aimed to solve the problem about the
reading comprehension skills of short stories of Grade Three pupils through different reading
comprehension skills enhancement activities.
METHODS
This study utilized descriptive survey in order to achieve the purpose of this study.
This study used two data gathering procedures namely baseline data gathering, for identifying the
comprehension level of grade three pupils, and reflective survey method. Checklists were prepared,
validated, distributed, tallied and interpreted to identify the common difficulties encountered by the
readers and to identify the different activities that contribute to the enhancement of the reading
comprehension skills of the pupils.
RESULTS
There were 47 Grade III pupils tested in reading comprehension during the pretest. Five (5) or 11% is
independent, ten (10) or 21% fall under the instructional level, while thirty-one (32) or 68% belong to
frustration level in reading comprehension. The data revealed that 68% of these pupils need thorough
assistance and remediation to enhance their comprehension skills. On the other hand, it was found that
the difficulties encountered that hinder the pupils reading comprehension were word recognition,
vocabulary word development, logical and reasoning skills, lack of reading materials and decoding skills.
DISCUSSIONS
It is evident that there should be a proposed plan of action in order to enhance the reading
comprehension abilities of Grade III Dahlia pupils. It is recommended that both teachers and parents
should take their parts in the progress of the reading comprehension abilities of the pupils. Factors that
hinder the attainment of good comprehension level among pupils must be recognized and evaluated.

Enhancing the Reading Performance of Grade 1 Pupils of Bilogo

Elementary School
Arlene Rabano, Teacher III & Rosemarie Aguilar, Teacher I
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the learning skills that a child should develop is his reading comprehension skills. Reading
comprehension is essential to life in any civilized society. This skill is necessary to survive and thrive in
today's world. In this study the researcher aims to determine and enhance the reading performance of
grade one pupils of Bilogo Elementary School. Specifically focused on the pupils' reading competence in
reading alone. Furthermore, the researchers aim to suggest activities or interventions which could
enhance the pupils' reading competence.
METHODS
The descriptive type of research was used in this study. The researchers gathered the data, using the
Phil-IRI results of 44 grade one pupils of Bilogo Elementary School, and consulted several reading
materials in preparing the assessment tool. The researchers also sought the assistance of some experts to
validate the assessment tool used. After the tool was validated, the researchers administered the
assessment to determine the performance of pupils in reading. After the assessment was done, the
researchers analyzed these results to identify the reading levels of the pupils. The researchers used
statistical tools such as percentage and weighted mean to quantify the performance of the pupils in
reading. No sampling was used and performance of other pupils from other grade levels was not
covered in this research.
RESULTS
Based on the teacher's observation on the pupils' reading competence, majority of them have difficulties
in terms of word recognition. Likewise, many pupils also fail to comprehend on the passages given. In
terms of speed, majority of the students also have slow pace of reading. The results of the Phil-IRI test
also revealed that the pupils have low competency in reading. Many pupils are having difficulties in
terms of reading. After a thorough analysis of the pupils' problem in reading, the researchers came up
with an action plan which aims to enhance the pupils' reading competence.
DISCUSSIONS
The results recommend for remedial and intensive reading classes, and additional reading intervention
program for pupils who were identified as instructional in terms of reading skills. The success of
proposed action plan lies with the coordination of various stakeholders like parents and the community.
It may also be shown to supervisors and teachers for their suggestions before using it and a similar study
must be conducted to determine the reading ability of grade one pupils.

Elementary School
Edrolan Andales
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The first learning experience in school should create a foundation for successful reading program by
fostering favorable impression, of which is to be derived from the books and language used. Reading is
a skill that most people use daily. In schools, reading is the center of learning of all subjects. It is the
most integral component of the education system. Through effective and purposeful reading, pupils can
easily develop their intellectual and social development. But the sad thing is, the schools’ biggest
problem is the growing number of struggling readers. This study was conducted aiming at finding
effective ways of transforming the struggling readers into well-rounded readers. With reading skills, it is
expected that the pupils will go on the way they should be and, in the future, be productive and useful
members of the Filipino community.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was employed in the study. Data were taken from pupils’ records
and through the questionnaire consisting of a checklist. The researcher also gathered supplemental
information through interviews.
RESULTS
The following are the findings in the study:
1. 17% of the Grade Five pupils are struggling readers. Varied strategies and techniques should be
employed and must be suited to the ability of the pupils. It can be noted also that pupils' performance
signifies the need of intervention activities to become independent readers.
2. Most of the respondents find word recognition as the most common difficulty that they encountered
in reading while omission of words is the least among these difficulties. This could affect their
performance in reading and their academic achievement and can be attributed to the existing school
reading program.
3.The reading program being implemented in the school needs to be reformed, modified and
restructured in order to meet the prioritized needs in reading development of the pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the foregoing findings, the following were drawn:
1. The existing school reading program is expected to be restructured in order to meet the changing
needs of the learners in developing their reading skills.
2. Pupils should be encouraged to develop interest and love for reading by exposing them to colorful,
meaningful and interesting reading materials and a favorable reading environment.
3. Reading performance of the pupils should be properly and accurately assessed as basis for the
creation / establishment of effective reading interventions

Enhancing the Reading Readiness among Grade 1 Pupils of Niogan

Elementary School
Elena Carurucan
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading readiness is highly individualistic; there is no "one size fits all" solution to teaching a child to
read. A parent or teacher may need to employ several techniques before finding the most appropriate
method for an individual child. Public Elementary Schools in Lemery, Batangas, specifically Niogan
Elementary School, were included to the ECARP of the Department of Education which aimed to
produce competent readers and writers at the time of their primary grades. That is why the researcher
conducted a study to improve the extent of reading readiness of grade one pupils in Niogan Elementary
School through the intervention program.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was utilized in this study; the researcher-made questionnaire and
informal interviews were used as major instruments to measure the extent of enhancing the reading
readiness of grade one pupils in Niogan Elementary School.
RESULTS
The researcher assessed the extent of reading readiness of 30 grade one pupils. Pupils rated "great
extent" in the equipment and special features of the classroom which only showed that teachers were
aware that equipment and features of the classroom were important in facilitating the phonological
awareness leading the improvement of pupils’ reading skills. In terms of teaching reading in class, the
pupils rated "very great extent". This implied that teachers showed their best teaching performance and
used different techniques during the teaching of reading to their pupils. In terms of teacher-pupil
relationship the pupils rated "very great extent" which confirmed that teachers showed good rapport to
their pupils for them to get the attention and encourage them to improve their reading skills. Pupils
rated "very great extent" in teacher-parent relationship. Teachers and parents showed open
communication when it comes to the reading readiness and reading performance of the pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
School administrators should provide in-service trainings with regards to reading readiness. Teachers
should make other reading-related materials for teaching sounds and letters. They must relay to parents
the needed information in teaching reading to let them assist and guide their children at home. School
administrators and teachers should develop reading programs such as remedial teaching and tutorial and
implementation of the proposed reading intervention program is recommended to enhance the reading
readiness of pupils.

Enhancing the Reading Skills of Grade 12 Students through Newsela

Reading Mobile Application
Jenny De Leon, Integrated School Of Lawa
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading comprehension is now the basic need of a citizen to live and to act successfully in his
professional and academic contexts. It is even viewed to be the core language skill to build the
development of all other language skills and sub-skills such as listening, speaking, writing, vocabulary
and grammar. For centuries, limited access to text has been a barrier to literacy. Reading requires books,
without them literacy remains out of reach. Today, however, this barrier is receding thanks to the spread
of inexpensive mobile technology. Basic mobile phones offer a new, affordable and easy-to use portal to
reading material. Thus, the main objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Newsela
reading mobile application over Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) in enhancing the reading
skills of Grade 12 students of Integrated School of Lawa.
METHODS
Quasi-experimental design was utilized in this study. Twenty (20) students were considered in the group
exposed to DRTA who had counterparts oi the group exposed to Newsela on the basis of their pre-test
scores for a total of forty (40) match-paired students. Readings and questions used for the pre and post-
test were taken from Testing Reading Power IV while thirty-eight (38) articles were taken from Newsela
as formative tests.
RESULTS
The mean difference of 9.45 proved that experimental group performed better in the post-test as
compared to the comparison group. It was supported by the large effect size of 1.72, thus the significant
difference between the post-test results of the two groups of respondents. The result also proved that
the Newsela Reading Mobile Application is effective in enhancing the reading skills of the respondents.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results, there is a need for the Administration to consider the improvement of their
facilities, internet connections and budget for some reading mobile applications because they are not for
free. Such action will intensify the 21st century skills of the learners through the use of reading mobile
applications by motivating and reinforcing the teachers to make use of these applications.

Enhancing the Remedial Reading Program of Grade 2 Pupils in Sambal

Elementary School
Janneth Almacen
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is the most potent tool to achieve total learning. It is the process in which the learners can
transform texts into a meaningful whole. The important role of reading in the total development of the
pupils should not be taken for granted. It is the responsibility of the three parties to work collaboratively
to enrich reading skills--the school, the teachers and the parents. Knowing how important reading to
other aspects of learning is, the researcher was convinced to conduct this study. This aimed to enhance
the remedial reading program of Grade II pupils in Sambal Elementary School. Specifically, it sought to
answer the following questions: (1)What is the performance of the Grade II pupils in the Oral Reading
Test?; (2) What is the status of the existing remedial reading program of Grade II pupils?; and (3) What
intervention activities may be proposed to enhance the remedial reading program of the Grade II pupils.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was employed in the study. The bulk of participants involved in the
study were 70 pupils, two (2) teachers in Grade Two (2), the administrator, and 70 parents. The data
needed in the inquiry were taken from the results of the School Reading Profile (Oral Reading Pretest),
the evaluation of the teachers on the actual performance of the pupils during remedial reading and the
self-made questionnaire conducted among the respondents.
RESULTS
The school remedial reading program has the noble objectives of improving the over-all status of all the
reading activities. Administrator, teachers, pupils and parents are responsible in order to have an
effective remedial reading program. The school has employed various reading interventions that
answered the needs of the learners to improve their reading capabilities.
DISCUSSIONS
The school reading program, based on the assessment and findings revealed, should have strengthened
and restricted the existing program to meet the prioritized needs of the pupils.
Teachers should have devised more meaningful teaching reading strategies and reading activities.
Reading climate in the classroom should be improved. Pupils should be exposed in various reading
activities to enhance their reading interests.

Enhancing the Science Process Skills and Related Attitudes of Grade 7

Students using Inquiry-Based Learning
Franz Kevin Manalo, San Pablo City Science High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The thrust of the K to 12 Basic Education Program is to produce lifelong learners who manifest
scientific literacy and skills. The acquisition of science process skills is one of the prime objectives in the
science curriculum used to develop students' creativity and critical thinking. As stipulated in the
Republic Act 10533, the students' learning experience should be made meaningful and relevant using
appropriate pedagogical approaches that adheres to the standards and principles of basic education
curriculum. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effect of inquiry-based learning as a
pedagogical approach on the science process skills of Grade 7 students. Furthermore, it aimed to
describe the students' related attitudes and determine its relationship to their test scores.
METHODS
The study made use of the descriptive and one group pretest-posttest research design. A standardized
test called Test of Science- Related Attitudes (TOSRA) by B. Fraser was administered to describe the
related attitudes of the students. Likewise, a validated science process skills test was given to the
participants. Pretest and posttest score differences were obtained. This study was conducted from
August to September 2017 at San Pablo City Science High School. 105 Grade Seven (7) students were
the participants of the study.
RESULTS
Results showed that students exhibited positive attitudinal scores in their related attitudes in science
including attitude to scientific inquiry, adoption of scientific attitude and enjoyment of science lessons.
Consequently, results revealed that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest
scores of the students in the science process skills test. Also, the students' related attitudes are
significantly correlated to their test score differences. This implied that as the attitudinal scores increase,
performance in science process skills tends to increase too.
DISCUSSIONS
The use of inquiry-based learning in science class improved the performance of the students in process
skills tests. Their related attitudes towards science were also enhanced. Accordingly, inquiry-based
learning is a way of acquiring information by investigation which focuses on student-constructed
information. It is the cornerstone of good science learning which engages the students in the study and
investigation of the nature of science. This involves activity, attitude and skills focused on the active
search for knowledge and understanding to satisfy curiosity.

High School through Frayer Model Approach
Rosalina Sacapano
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Meeting the highest goal of science, educators want what is expected to be the outcome of the goal of
teaching. Educational institution includes teachers who have a great responsibility in assisting and
attending to the needs of the learners whether they are slow or fast. In a classroom setting, teachers
usually encounter some problems, like limited vocabulary of students, hindering the understanding of
basic science concepts.
METHODS
The researcher of this study decided to use Frayer Model Approach to enhance science vocabulary of
selected grade nine (9) students of Bagbag National High School. This was done during the third
quarter, before new topics or competencies were presented. The study made use of the experimental
method of research where the participants were randomly selected. Pre-test Post-test control group
design was also used. The whole study focused on the competencies of the 3rd quarter.
RESULTS
After the intervention was done, the researcher found that the experimental group actively participated
during class discussion. Participation on activity was also high. This brought an improved result on the
performance of selected grade nine students considering that Pre- test results proved the homogeneity
of the participants. Thus, the researcher of this study concluded that Frayer Model Approach improved
the performance of the students.
DISCUSSIONS
The result showed effective learning can be achieved if the students had a wide vocabulary; this brought
active participation during class hours. Comprehension of science concepts was easy for they were
guided on the correct definition of the word/words given by the teacher. Learning was a good
experience for no one was left behind just because they do not know the words. Thus, the researcher of
this study concluded that Frayer Model Approach effectively increased the academic achievement of
selected grade nine students of Bagbag National High School.

INTRODUCTION
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM) as an
instructional material to enhance the mathematical skills of Grade 7 students in operation on integers in
Bilaran National High School, academic year 2017-2018. The respondents of the study were thirty (30)
grade 7 students of Bilaran National High School who got low scores in their First Quarterly
Examination.
METHODS
This study used a quasi-experimental type of research and action research design. The quasi was used to
determine the effectiveness of Strategic Intervention Materials in students' skills in mathematical
operation on integers. This method was also used to identify the level of performance in the Pre/Post-
test formative assessment in operation on integers, and students' evaluation, in using Strategic
Intervention Materials as a tool in the operation on integers. The action research design was used for
identifying appropriate actions for students needing intervention.
RESULTS
It was found that before the students were exposed to Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM) their
competency levels on the least mastered skills were very low. It was also revealed that their proficiency
levels were also very poor based on the results of a pre-assessment test. But after exposure to Strategic
Intervention Material, they achieved a very high performance.
DISCUSSIONS
The result of this study showed that the use of Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM) in operation on
integers was effective in terms of problems presented in the SIM. The positive result of the survey
revealed that the Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM) in Operation on Integers was appreciated by the
learners and is very effective in enhancing the skills on mathematical operation on integers of Grade 7
students.

Rolando Marasigan, Raquel G. Asi, & Emilda D. Laylo
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the most useful lifelong skills is to learn how to spell words. It builds the basic foundation that
all children will need throughout their education and life in general. Writing and reading are the basic
skills which requires learning how to spell. These skills support children in achieving good results and
progressing through various grades. Moreover, being good at spelling may have an impact on the future
careers of students.
In today's situation in the classroom, learners find difficulty in spelling. Therefore, other basic skills
regarding literacy are affected. There might be influences that weakens such skills. Having good spelling
skills is just as important as good reading skills. This study focused on the spelling skills of the pupils.
METHODS
This was a descriptive research which aimed to enhance the spelling skills of identified pupils of
Paaralang Elementarya ng Mabunga. The researchers used a teacher-made test validated by the school
head and teachers in conducting a pretest to identify the spelling skills of grade five pupils. They also
conducted an interview on the factors encountered by the pupils in spelling words through a
questionnaire that was also validated by the school head and teachers of the same school.
RESULTS
Based on the result of the study, it showed that the Grade 5 pupils of Paaralang Elementarya ng
Mabunga have low performance in terms of spelling English words. It was alarming since the skills in
spelling plays a vital role in promoting literacy among young learners. The researcher made an action
plan to improve the spelling skills of Grade 5 Pupils of Paaralang Elementarya ng Mabunga. Learners
commonly experienced spelling difficulties such as inability to spell words correctly. To find out the
factors that affect the spelling difficulties of pupils in spelling English words, a questionnaire was
administered.
DISCUSSIONS
It was found that the most common factors affecting the spelling difficulty of grade 5 pupils were
availability of materials, attendance of pupils and appropriateness of words provided in spelling. The
developed action plan for the enhanced activities for improving spelling skills through DREP provides
an opportunity to learn spelling skills. For a student to develop a high degree of ability in spelling,
he/she should possess a fondness of drill, reading and everyday practice. For these qualities to be more
effective, a child should always be guided not only by his/her teachers but also by his/her parents.

Enhancing the Students' Numeracy Skills through Strategic Intervention

Materials on Mathematics
Angel Salvador B. Laysico, Longos National High School, Department of

Education - Malabon City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics educators regularly develop programs and innovations that target the enhancement of the
students' numeracy skills. Based on previous studies, it was found that Junior High School students have
difficulties in coping up with more complex Mathematics due to poor basic computation skills on
integers. In this study, the researcher developed a strategic intervention material (SIM on Integers) that
sought to enhance the skills and academic performance of the students in Mathematics.
METHODS
A Quasi-Experimental research design was used in this study. The subjects of this study were 201 Grade
9 students, identified through purposive sampling. The respondents took a pre-test before they
underwent instructional intervention. Afterwards, the respondents were given a post-test after the whole
instructional intervention was administered.
RESULTS
After the intervention was employed, it was found out that there was a significant difference between
the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents. This implied that the SIM on Integers was deemed
effective.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of the study established that there is a great need for a constant development of different
strategic intervention materials in enhancing the skills and academic achievement of the students in
Mathematics. One of these materials is a learning module like the SIM on Integers. Since the mastery of
the basic concepts of integers is a pre-requisite in learning complex Mathematics, this learning tool
guides students in their deeper understanding of the simpler concepts of integers and in turn prepare
students in learning more complex ones. Thus, the profound gap in the field of Mathematics may be
bridged and in turn may make learning Mathematics successful in many ways.

Enhancing Vocabulary through Contextual Clues of Grade 6 Pupils of

Navotas Elementary School
Melba Alipustain, Navotas Elem. School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is a multifaceted process involving word recognition, comprehension, fluency, and
motivation (www.readingrockets.org). Learning to read is about listening and understanding as well as
working out what is printed on the page. This helps learners build their own vocabulary and improve
their understanding when they listen, which is vital as they start to read.
Reading is also a basic tool for learning in all learning areas, a skill that helps to understand not only the
literal and visual presentation in daily lessons but also the words and ideas conveyed in any of the
reading materials. If the child is enriched in vocabulary, he/she is able to link in newly acquired
knowledge from reading materials, then definitely they learn and will perform well in academics.
On the other hand, if the learner has a limited vocabulary since early school years, this may deprive
him/her of the good opportunity to comprehend and interpret the lessons in all subjects, which may
cause poor academic performance. This can result for him/her to lose his/her eagerness to study.
METHODS
The teacher researcher used the Oral Reading result in Pre-Test and Mid-Year Test which served as
indicator of the increase in the performance in vocabulary skills of 31 pupils in Grade VI through the
use of contextual clues. Based on the Pretest result, only 2 of the respondents fall under Very Good
category or the Dependent category. In the Mid-Year Test, the researcher used contextual clues method
to enrich the deficient vocabulary among the respondents. The Mid-Year test was conducted after the
utilization of the varied activities in contextual clues in order to highlight the development in
Vocabulary skills.
RESULTS
After conducting Pretest in Oral Reading to the pupil-respondent, the following problems arises such as
inadequate or limited vocabulary, inability to define words in reading materials that were not common to
them, and inability to explain and interpret ideas in the teacher's daily lessons and in reading materials.
Because of this result, the researcher, as English Teacher, gave more time and activities in Vocabulary
Development specifically in context clues.
DISCUSSIONS
The different activities done by the researcher were used as intervention materials in Enhancing or
developing Reading comprehension. It has been proven to be effective as shown by the increase of
pupils that fall in Very Good or Independent level. It showed that vocabulary skills of the pupils
improved after using varied activities in contextual clues.

Karen Rubiales, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Word recognition skill of pupils is surfacing as one of the most challenging problem for a teacher today.
It is posing a problem requiring the serious concern of the educators and the education researchers.
Low or poor level of word recognition leads to serious conditions of indiscipline causing damage to the
conductive climate for learning. Though teachers are provided with inputs on the best fit managing
strategies to strengthen the level of word recognition skills of the pupils, they are not provided with any
specific technique to suit in handling how to enhance the word recognition skills of the pupils. The
teachers, therefore, are required to plan in detail, creating strategies of management in order to develop
the word recognition skills of the pupils and to have a productive learning environment. The present
investigation intends to investigate the 20% of Grade One pupils in Gregorio A. Herradura Elementary
school who have difficulties in word recognition.
METHODS
The researcher used the descriptive method to answer the problem and obtain objectives put forward
on this paper. The population of the study is the eighth grade one pupils of Gregorio A. Herradura
Elementary school who have difficulties in words recognition. The data gathering instrument used were
the questionnaire checklist, Pre-Test to identify the pupils with lack of word recognition skills, and Pre-
Test to assess the level of word recognition skills of the pupils.
RESULTS
On analysis of the data collected, the present study attempted to ascertain the level of word recognition
skills among grade one pupils with the use of different multi-media as instructional devices. It revealed
that four (4) or 50% out of eight (8) pupils were unable to read one syllable word, one (1) or 12.5% was
unable to follow the CVC pattern, two (2) or 25% were unable to decode words, and one (1) or 12.5%
was unable to pronounce the word. After using multi-media as instructional devices to increase the level
of word recognition skills of grade one pupils, it showed that six (6) or 75% out of eight (8) were able to
read a one syllable word and two (2) or 25% out of eight (8) were still unable to decode words.
DISCUSSIONS
The present study has focused on the level of pupils’ word recognition skills with the use of varied
multimedia devices as tools. This was found to provide a comprehensive understanding of the crucial
influences between using multimedia as a tool in enhancing the word recognition skills of the pupils and
in bringing about academic and holistic education.

Elementary School
Elma Pagulayan, Felina Villanueva, & Rowena Villanueva, Department of

Education - San Jose
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is a key to a school’s success. The principles of individual differences are also reflected in one's
own ability to read. There are different kinds of readers categorized as good, average, and struggling
readers. Researchers have made considerable progress in understanding all types of reading disabilities.
A student's ability to read is central to their academic success. Word recognition is a student's ability to
see and understand a word quickly without sounding it out. This study suggests various oral reading
activities to be utilized in enhancing word recognition skills of Grade Three pupils of Padre Imo Luna
MES.
METHODS
The researchers used the descriptive method to seek the artifacts in relations to the conduct of the
study. It investigated participants' level of reading through identifying their needs to enhance their
reading ability. The research was conducted at Padre imo Luna MES. The participants of the study were
the Grade Three Mulawin pupils during the school year 2017-2018. To enhance the word recognition
skills among Grade Three Mulawin, the researchers used various tools and methods. The researchers
conducted a PHIL-IRI Test in English among grade three pupils.
RESULTS
As a result of this study, it was found that pupils out of 35 cannot pronounce the words in the story
correctly. They had difficulty in pronouncing the words correctly. Repetition was also a problem
wherein they repeatedly read some of the words in the story. It was found out that the causes of the
word recognition deficiencies were lack of enough and suitable reading materials for the pupils use, poor
study habits of the pupils, lack of pupils’ exposure to reading, paying no attention to content and
parents’ indifferences. The different miscues encountered by the Grade Three pupils were
mispronunciation, substitution, refusal to pronounce, insertion, repetition and reversal.
DISCUSSIONS
Pupils improve their word recognition skills if: more supplementary reading materials and alternative
textbooks are acquired, study habits of pupils will be developed, diagnostic reading tests are
administered--the aim of which is to know where each pupil belongs--, remedial and corrective reading
will be given. Pupils will develop love for reading and parents are cooperative.
Supplementary materials are vital as it enhance creativity, excitement, class instruction, encourage
situational English, enhance language skills and communication skills, overcome fear, leads to group and
teamwork, and tasks can be challenging.

of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is one of the most fundamental skills a child needs to succeed in life. The importance of
reading skills in a student's life is that it plays a major role in their academic achievement, because
without reading skills no one can be successful. For studying, students should use different techniques
because with these techniques they can ensure good outcomes. As everybody knows that every student
has different skills, habit may be good or bad. It does not get affected by the changing of place or
schedules. It is something that is done on a scheduled, regular, planned basis and that is not relegated to
a second place or optional place in one's life. It is simply done, no reservations, no excuses, and no
expectations.
METHODS
Interview and survey method were used to enrich the English reading skills of selected grade two
learners. Interview script questionnaires and check list were prepared to develop the order and serve as
guide. Two (2) grade two learners of Ticub Elementary School were in the struggling level during the
oral reading test.
RESULTS
Through this study, the respondents enriched their word recognition, reading level and comprehension
skills. Therefore, if the students learn how to prioritize their workload, become flexible with adopting
different skills in studying if their current ones are inefficient, and have overall joy when surpassing the
challenges their new academic environments bring, learners will be able to take the most out of their
learning without it taking the most out of them. Effective reading skills help students to achieve good
results
DISCUSSIONS
The results appeared that through remedial reading, peer teaching and oral reading tests, they improved
their English reading skills and they were able to understand what they have read.

Enriching K-12 Science Teachers' Level of Pedagogical Content Knowledge

(PCK) in History and Philosophy of Science: An Integration in Classroom
Instruction
Loida Otico, BPAHS, Wins Marian C. Dela Cruz, ANCS, & Michelle D. Cueto,
LNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The quality of science teachers is generally affected by their qualifications. One is pedagogical content
knowledge which refers to the knowledge that the teachers develop over time, and through experience,
about how to teach content in particular ways in order to lead to enhanced student understanding
(Loughran et. al., 2012). In this study, the researchers conducted a seminar-workshop in order to
increase the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of science teachers in the importance and benefits of
integrating HPS in Science instruction.
METHODS
This study used the descriptive method design employing the use of quantitative data taken from the
structured multiple-choice type of questionnaire. This method of research predicts the significant
difference of the pretest and posttest scores to determine the effectiveness of the seminar-workshop.
The topics in history and philosophy of science that were covered in the study are scientific induction
and deduction, science and religion, norms and values of science, and lesson planning with integration
of history and philosophy of science.
RESULTS
Seminar-workshop on the integration of HPS in teaching science enriched scientific pedagogical content
knowledge of teachers as evident in the lesson plan prepared and presented by the participants. The
level of pedagogical content knowledge of science teachers before and after the seminar workshop is
7.96 and 15.48 respectively, therefore there is an improvement in the PCK of science teachers before
and after the seminar-workshop. The t-value and critical value are 11.338 and 2.015 respectively at 0.05
level of significance. Since the t-value is greater than the critical value, therefore, we reject the null
hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the PCK of teachers before and after the
seminar workshop.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers improved their teaching prowess upon the completion of the seminar-workshop as evident on
integration of the History and Philosophy of Science topics in instruction. The seminar-workshop is
effective as shown by the significant difference of the pretest and posttest scores focusing on the
pedagogical content knowledge. Based on the results, the researchers felt the need to sustain the passion
of the teachers in integrating History and Philosophy of Science in instruction.

Enriching the Reading Program of the Grade 5 Pupils in Mahayahay

Elementary School
Rovinita Lacsamana, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The ability to read enables a person to satisfy both personal and functional needs and participate fully in
contemporary society. It is a basic skill necessary for success in other areas of study and can lead to a
lifetime pursuit of learning, critical thinking and enjoyment. The ability to read is a fundamental goal and
a basic tool for education. Mahayahay Elementary School, Mahayahay, Lemery, Batangas is one of the
schools in the country which experienced low reading performance specifically for Grade Five pupils.
Knowing the impact of poor reading performance, the teachers are aware that the reading program to
this effect must be strengthened, modified and redefined in order to meet the reading goals of the
school. This study conducted aimed at finding effective ways of transforming the struggling readers into
well- rounded readers.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was employed in the study. Data were taken from pupils’ records
and through the questionnaire consisting of a checklist. The researcher also gathered supplemental
information through interviews. The data gathered from all sources were tabulated, analyzed and
interpreted using the most appropriate tools to seek the validity and reliability of all data gathered.
RESULTS
The following results were revealed in the study: 1. 34% of the Grade Five pupils are struggling readers.
2. Most of the respondents find word recognition as the most common difficulty that they encountered
in reading and omission of words is the least among these difficulties. This could affect their
performance in reading and their academic achievement and can be attributed to the existing school
reading program. 3. Project 3Bs (Big Brother Big Sister) is the most preferred reading program by the
respondents
DISCUSSIONS
Varied strategies and techniques should be employed and must be suited to the ability of the pupils. It
can be noted also that pupils' performance signifies the need of intervention activities to become
independent readers. Project 3Bs (Big Brother Big Sister) is the most preferred reading program by the
respondents because it is more comfortable for them to ask the assistance of their peers rather than
their teachers. It is easier for them to have peered tutoring during their leisure / free time and build a
stronger relationship. The reading program being implemented in the school needs to be reformed,
modified and restructured in order to meet the prioritized needs in reading development of the pupils.

Enrichment Activities on the Level of Reading Comprehension of Grade 11

Students at Dagatan National High School-Senior High School (Gawaing
Pangkalinangan sa Antas ng Pag-unawa sa Pagbasa
Maria Elena Braza, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
As life evolves, each and everyone needs capital which, if improved or enhanced, may serve as weapon
to surpass future challenges--it is the unique brilliance of mankind. Everybody's success depends on his
intellectuality which we may have through reading; one of the significant macro skills that must be
taught and enriched.
In the process of teaching and learning, the key aspect of reading is to enrich the comprehension skill of
the students. Comprehension and appropriate use of words are essential for students to communicate.
While the acquisition of knowledge and understanding of the content of reading materials are expected
to be part of teachers' roles. Too much to say, it goes on with the development of materials that may aid
them.
This study aimed to develop enrichment activities on the level of reading comprehension and sought
answers to identify the following: (1) very useful reading comprehension skill; (2) level of reading
comprehension of the students relevant to different reading skills; (3) frequency of strategies that the
teachers are using to uplift the level of reading comprehension; (5) weight of difficulty experienced by
the teachers in enriching the said skills and (6) propose enrichment activities to be developed to help the
students.
With the empirical data and consideration of the recommendation of previous study, the researcher was
encouraged and saw the need to develop enrichment activities on the level of reading comprehension.
METHODS
The researcher used a descriptive design in gathering data while the questionnaire served as research
instrument administered through purposive sampling to thirteen (13) Grade 11 teachers in Dagatan
National High School-Senior High School.
RESULTS
The study results are: almost all of the reading comprehension skills are very useful. The students
understand the reading comprehension skills while often the teachers do their roles in enriching the
level of reading comprehension. The strategies used by the teachers are very effective, but the difficulty
experienced in enriching the students' level of reading comprehension is on its peak.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results of the study, there is truly a need to develop enrichment activities to uplift the level
of reading comprehension of the students. The researcher believed that it may not be as huge as others
but still, may help.

Imus Ramer P. Cerillo, Maria Luisa Candelaria, & Mark Julius Balagtas,
Department of Education - Imus
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the factors is the lack of instructional materials to be used for teaching and learning
mathematics. In our 21st century, learners must not be deprived of their right to an improved material
that can be used in their everyday learning of mathematics.
These notions among learners about mathematics led to the conduct of this study to make an
enrichment material in teaching and learning mathematics. It is deemed not only to use a material given
by the support of our government but also timely to make an instructional material to improve their
conceptual understanding about number sense, and arithmetic.
METHODS
The researchers used a descriptive survey design. This approach is appropriate wherever the object of
any class vary among themselves and one is interested in knowing the extent to which different
conditions obtain among these objects." (Good and Scates, 1972). A purposive sampling was used in
this study. Purposive because only mathematics teachers and administrators were asked to participate to
ensure a wide and in-depth assessment of the acceptability of the developed workbook for grade 11
statistics and probability.
RESULTS
The salient findings of the study are as follows:
1. On extent of utilization of Instructional Materials in Teaching statistics and probability for Grade 11
students
The extent of utilization of instructional materials in teaching statistics and probability for grade 11 as
assessed by the school administrators and teachers has an overall weighted mean of 3.30 with a verbal
interpretation which was fairly utilized.
2.. The supplementary statistics and probability workbook for Grade 11 was developed and served as
supplementary material in teaching mathematics.
3.. Acceptability of a Proposed Supplementary Material
The respondents assessed the acceptability of the supplementary statistics and probability workbook for
Grade 11 is acceptable with an overall computed mean of 4.21.
DISCUSSIONS
From the conclusions drawn, the following recommendations were forwarded:
1. The developed supplementary statistics and probability workbook for Grade 11 be tried out in other
schools in the City of Imus to further evaluate its effectiveness.
2.. Encourage teachers and researchers in the division to integrate instructional materials in teaching to
cut across subject areas in the K to 12 education curriculums.
3.. Recommend the enrichment activities for higher level of mathematics.

Education, ETTMNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
One of the exits of the Department of Education's K-12 program is for students to pursue
entrepreneurship. Although entrepreneurship is an applied subject taken by all students, limited studies
on the entrepreneurial skills of Filipino learners are available. The main purpose of the study is to
determine the entrepreneurial skills level of Senior High School students of ETTMNHS. The
implementation of K-12 might influence the students’ perspectives in life for they were easily engaged in
a focused program of their preference to be an expert in their chosen line.
METHODS
This quantitative descriptive research involved identified respondents already handling a business,
whether owned or under a corporation. A validated questionnaire on entrepreneurial skills was used for
data collection.
RESULTS
Demographics revealed that there are more female than male entrepreneurs among SHS students of
ETTMNHS. They show a high level of communicational skill, an important entrepreneurial skill.
Moreover, the student entrepreneurs were observed to show personal and managerial skills. On the
other hand, they got the lowest score on technical skill when compared to the other vital skills.
DISCUSSIONS
The senior high school student-entrepreneurs who participated in this research study were perceived to
have high entrepreneurial skill level. The significant difference between the number of male and female
entrepreneurs imply the importance on strengthening the awareness of males in conducting
entrepreneurship. In addition, entrepreneurship teachers must take into account interventions on
enhancing technical skills among their students in order to produce successful entrepreneurs in the
future.

Francisco Perez, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Waste is the result of human activities and everyone needs to have a proper understanding of waste
management issues. Without which, success of even the best conceived waste management plan
becomes questionable. The aim of this research is to identify the awareness of pupils, parents, and
faculties in promoting proper waste disposal for a waste free school environment.
METHODS
This research is quantitative in method and descriptive in design. This study will portray the
characteristic of a particular situation like that of Environmental awareness, with some initial hypothesis
on the nature of these characteristics; to determine the frequency with which something occurs, or the
frequency with which something is associated with observable ideas with the specific initial hypothesis.
In selecting the respondents of the study, random sampling was implemented where in each member of
the population has an equal chance of being selected as a sample.
RESULTS
The overall result shows that majority of the respondents are quite aware on how to dispose their waste
properly. Based on an informal interview and the result of the study, the researcher concluded that a
garbage-free school community is a very good place to stay in. Collecting garbage around school
community and disposing them properly is our responsibility as a human being because a garbage-free
school will attract not only visitors but other schools as well to implement rigid proper waste
management. Therefore, we should encourage and permit pupils to have an active participation in an
intensive environmental awareness because each individual is in-charge in waste reduction management
for a waste-free school and community. Willingness to collect plastic bottles and containers for recycling
purposes implemented in the school is a positive approach to environmental awareness. Recycling helps
preserve the environment while saving money and supports our economy.
DISCUSSIONS
Through the result of the study, the researcher recommends an action plan that will intensify the school
waste management program and to conduct further study that will be strengthening the school waste
management program of the Batangas City East Elementary School.

Cristopher Catimbang
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Parenting is not an easy task and a never-ending job so parents should be knowledgeable enough on
bringing up their children because their parenting style can influence their children's performance,
success and behavior. In order to adequately manage the problems of their children's behavior, parents
themselves need to be aware of the disciplinary practices that they impose on their children. The
disciplinary styles of parents greatly affect the total development of the children especially in their
behavior. The researcher sought a study regarding the parenting of environmental concern of pupils of
Nasugbu West Central school specifically the intermediate pupils and how they are environmentally
aware.
METHODS
This study, which focused on the awareness, values and involvement towards environmental concerns
will serve as the basis for intervention program, used the descriptive method of survey with the aid of a
survey questionnaire on environmental study. The descriptive method for the investigator was used to
gather information about present existing conditions. The respondents were chosen in intermediate
level so as to asses even their attitude toward the environmental concern and awareness. After the
retrieval of questionnaire, the data was tallied, interpreted and summarized.
RESULTS
It revealed that the respondents of the study very strongly agreed that environmental trust is
incorporated in the vision/mission statement of the school with utmost emphasis on the aspect of the
environmental protection and conservation they actively participated and were involved in. The school
offers environmental activities such as an open space for mini forest, orchidarium, botanical gardens
and the likes where the students can reflect and sustain their minds as to the appreciation of the
environment. The school advocates a non-smoking campus as part of its environmental policy. Overall
result showed that students very strongly agreed that they have concerns on their environment through
protecting and conserving it.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results of the research study, the overall result showed that the student-respondents
involved themselves in conserving the environment. Implementation of programs and projects that
promote environmental concerns for the promotion of healthy environment not only in the vicinity of
the school but also in their own barangays. Organization and activities play an important role to
promote and establish the environmental concern of the pupils in Nasugbu West Central School.

Environmental Disaster Vulnerability and Preparedness of Angono Rizal:

Implications to School Resilience
Domingo Chavez Jr., Department of Education - Rizal
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Environmental disaster is an occurrence in which a society or one of its subdivisions undergo physical
destruction and social disruptions, such that all or some essential functions of the society or subdivision
are impaired. The study purported to investigate the relationship of community vulnerabilities in terms
of the presence of physical hazards and natural event risks, and disaster preparedness in terms of
capacity building, climate literacy, life skills development of the community and access to resources in
Angono Rizal as basis for crafting a DRRM program.
METHODS
The study employed descriptive-correlational method. Data were gathered using questionnaires,
unstructured interview and documentary analysis. Treatment of data used frequency count, ranking,
weighted mean, and Pearson's Product-Moment Correlation.
RESULTS
The study revealed that Angono was regularly hit by typhoons and earthquakes and the existence of
Laguna Lake and the low-lying areas near silted river allow flash floods. Residents' economic lifeblood
was hinged on agriculture and fishery, commercial and manufacturing. Angono has limited manpower
and equipment to address natural disaster. Level of vulnerability, for presence of physical hazards and
for natural event risks, are high. Seven out of eight items of preparedness were perceived to be
strengths, namely: capacity building through DRRM training, capacity building through DRRM
education, life skills development on school disaster risk management, access to resources in early
warning sign, resources in information and communication facilities; Results also show that
preparedness of the town is moderate in terms of climate literacy. The community vulnerability in terms
of physical hazards and natural event risks were significantly related to the disaster preparedness of the
community.
DISCUSSIONS
Angono is a disaster-prone area due to its location, presence of hazards and limited resources such as
manpower and equipment to address natural disaster. Level of preparedness of the respondents was
high in all aspects except in climate literacy which was in moderate level of preparedness. SCROLL:
School-Community Contingency and Readiness towards Operational Leadership of Learners, was
crafted aiming to foster school-government-community partnership in strengthening resilience in the
municipality of Angono against natural disasters; strengthening the adaptation of a holistic,
comprehensive, and proactive disaster risk reduction and management approach.

Environmental Programs for School Readiness
Paolo Brequillo, BIOTA
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In lieu of the pressing global concerns and issues on the environment, the Department of Education
(Department of Education) urges all public and private schools to lead the role on environmental
awareness by enhancing environmental education and by pursuing effective school-based activities that
seek to preserve and protect the environment.
METHODS
The subject of this study composed of 30 Grade 10 learners of Buenavista Integrated National High
School for School Year 2018-2019.
The study used Segui's IEES Theory (Inform, Educate, Engage and Save) which values the importance
for an individual to give his/her maximum participation in the different programs relevant to
environmental protection. The instrument used was Likert-Type Checklist to measure all its indicators.
RESULTS
The school had successfully implemented a number of environmental education programs that assisted
in policy and framework documents to guide the school. The challenge remains on how to strengthen
the implementation of the environmental education programs in the school as well as involving and
engaging local government.
DISCUSSIONS
The respondents of the study have observed the following environmental programs that are
implemented in their respective school namely earthquake drill, clean up drives and school gardening.
Deworming activity has been highly implemented in school followed by clean up drives and school
gardening. Deworming has had a great impact on the improvement of nutritional status of each student.
Regular deworming contributes to good health and nutrition for children of school age, which in turn
leads to increased enrolment and attendance, reduced class repetition, and increased educational
attainment. (WHO,2010). The respondents believed that the environmental programs being
implemented are beneficial due to the following reasons: it serves as a venue for the schools to have
contact with government and non-government organizations for the purpose of helping the students
and improving the conditions of the schools; develop the proper attitudes and values in regards to
environmental issues and inspire people in the school to make researches that can be used as basis in
making decisions.

sariling karunungan, mabatid ang mga pangyayari sa kanilang paligid at dahil itinakdang gawin sa mga
mag-aaral ng kanilang guro. Sa kabila ng pagsisikap ng mga guro sa Filipino na maturuan ang mga mag-
aaral ng pagbasa ay mayroon pa ring mga mag-aaral na hindi mataas ang antas ng pang-unawa at ito ay
mismong problemang nararanasan ng mananaliksik sa silid-aralan. Dahil sa sariling karanasan at
kalagayang nabanggit, ninais ng mananaliksik na tukuyin ang epektibong kagamitan sa paglinang ng antas
ng pang-unawa ng mga mag-aaral sa pagbasa na magsisilbing katuwang ng guro sa kanyang pagtuturo at
pagpapabasa.
METHODS
Disenyong paglalarawan ang ginamit ng mananaliksik na ginamitan ng talatanungan. Ang naging kalahok
ay ang mga mag-aaral sa Ikasiyam na Baitang na nagmula sa pitong seksiyon na may bilang na 35 at may
kabuuang 245. Ang mga datos ay kinalap sa pamamagitan ng ginawang pagsusulit batay sa pagpapabasa
gamit ang powerpoint at hand-awt, at nilapatan ng estadistika.
RESULTS
Ang antas ng pang-unawa sa pagbasa gamit ang powerpoint ay ipinapakitang nasa 48.16% ang nasa
literal na pang-unawa, 35.51% ang nasa inferential, at 16.33% naman ang nasa kritikal na pang-unawa sa
pagbasa. Kaya ang antas ng pang-unawa gamit ang power point ay nasa antas ng literal. Samantalang sa
pagbasa gamit ang hand-awt ay nagpapakitang nasa 38.37% ang nasa literal na pang-unawa, 42.86% ang
nasa inferential, at 18.77% naman ang nasa kritikal na pang-unawa sa pagbasa. Kaya ang antas pang-
unawa sa pagbasa gamit ang hand-awt ay nasa Inferential. Ang komparatibong resulta ng epektibong
kagamitan sa paglinang ng pang-unawa sa pagbasa, batay sa paggamit ng Hand-awt, 44.34% ang nasa
literal na pang-unawa, 54.69% ang nasa inferential, at 53.49% ang nasa kritikal na pang-unawa na may
kabuuang 50.84%. Samantalang ang paggamit ng Power point sa pagbasa ay may 55.66% ang nasa literal
na pang-unawa, 45.31% ang nasa inferential, at 46.51% ang nasa kritikal na pang-unawa na may
kabuuang 49.16%, kung kaya ang epektibong kagamitan sa paglinang ng pang-unawa sa pagbasa ay ang
hand-awt.
DISCUSSIONS
Ang paggamit ng hand-awt ay nakakatulong sa paglinang ng antas ng pang-unawa sa pagbasa ng mga
mag-aaral. Nakatulong ito upang madali nilang maunawaan, at balik-balikan ang binabasa. Magkakaroon
ng mas mataas na pang-unawa ang mga mag-aaral gamit ang hand-awts sa pagbasa. Gayundin,
mapapaunlad ang sarili sa pagbasa at magkakaroon ng interes sa mga babasahing akda.

Epekto ng Neolohismo sa Akademikong Pagganap
John Dexter Caron & Reymart Belgica

(Adviser: Luisa Himpisao)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Bilang tao, ang bawat isa ay may kakayahang makapag- isip at makapagbahagi ng kaniyang
nararamdaman gamit ang wika. Sa kasalukuyang panahon, na moderno na ang henerasyon, nagiging
normal na ang paggamit ng neolohismo. Ito ay tumutukoy sa makabagong termino, salita o parirala na
maaring gamitin sa pangkaraniwang usapan, subalit hindi pa ganap na tanggap sa pang araw-araw na
gamit ng wika. Ang pangunahing layunin ng mananaliksik ay malaman kung ang neolohismo sa
pagtuturo at pagkatuto ay makakatulong sa akademikong pag-ganap sa mga mag-aaral ng Calamba
Integrated School sa taong 2018-2019.
METHODS
Gumamit ang mananalliksik ng disenyong kwaliteytib na nauukol sa pagsusuring pandiskurso sa mga
mag-aaral na pagtutuunan ng sapat na oras ng pag-aaral na ito upang makuha ang kinakailangang datos
sa pananaliksik sa piling mag-aaral. Ginamitan ng pakikipanayam sa mga mag- aaral na madalas gumamit
ng neolohismong salita sa Calamba Integrated School, at gumamit ang mananaliksik ng "quota
sampling" upang malimitahan ang dami ng bilang ng mag-aaral na magsisilbing kalahok na kung saan
tatlumpung mag aaral sa iba’t ibang strand ng Senior high School ang sumagot sa interbiyu. Ang
interbiyu ay binubuo ng tatlong tanong na tungkol sa neolohismo, upang makakalap ng mga
impormasyon, maging organisado at malaman ang iba’t ibang klase/uri at pamamaraan sa paggamit ng
neolohismo. Ang ginamit na metodolohiya ay akma sa pag-aaral ng mananaliksik upang makuha ang
mga kinakailangang datos, at mga uri ng mga salitang neolohismo na ginagamit ng mga mag-aaral at mga
guro sa pagtuturo at pagkatuto na makatutulong sa akademikong pag-ganap.
RESULTS
Ang lumabas na resulta sa panayam na isinagawa ukol sa kaugnayan ng neolohismo sa akademikong pag-
ganap ay ang karamihan ng mga mag-aaral ay nagsasabi na lubos na nakakatulong ang salitang
neolohismo sa pagtuturo at pagkatuto. Samantala, ang iba namang mag- aaral ay nagsasabi na hindi sila
pabor sa paggamit ng salitang neolohismo sa kadahilanang hindi sila pamilyar sa mga salitang ito at para
sa kanila ay hindi kaaya-aya ang pagamit ng salitang neolohismo. Sa kabuuan ng pananaliksik, marami
ang sang-ayon na may kaugnayan sa akademikong pag-ganap ng mga mag-aaral ang neolohismo.
DISCUSSIONS
Ang resulta ay naglalarawan na dapat gamitin ang neolohismo sa mga silid-aralan upang mas maging
interesado at maraming matutunan ang mga mag-aaral, kahit may iba na hindi nais ang mga salitang
neolohismo. Sa kabuuan. marami ang sang-ayon kaya malugod lamang na dapat tangapin ang paggamit
ng mga salitang neolohismo sa pagtuturo at pagkatuto para sa ikalilinang ng akademikong pag-ganap ng
mga mag-aaral.

Epekto ng Proyektong A4P's (Agapayan, Palakasin at Pagbutihin ang

Pagbasa at Pag-Unawa) sa Antas ng Pagbasa ng mga Batang Nasa Baitang
2 at Baitang 3 ng Paaralang Elementary ng Tambo
Liza Calibara, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Ang pagbabasa ay pagkilala at pagkuha ng mga ideya at mga kaisipan sa mga sagisag na nakalimbag
upang mabigkas ng pasalita. Ito rin ay pag-unawa sa wika ng awtor sa pamamagitan ng mga nasusulat na
simbolo. Ito ay isa ring paraan ng pagkilala, pagpapakahulugan at pagtataya ng mga simbolong
nakalimbag.
Ang Paaralang Elemetarya ng Tambo na binubuo ng siyam na daan at dalawampu't walong (928) mga
bata ay nataya sa pagkakaroon ng 34 na batang hindi nakababasa. 18 sa kanila ay mula sa Baitang 2 at 16
ay mula sa Baitang 3. Ito ay nangangahulugan na 15% sa Baitang 2 at 10 % sa Baitang 3 ang hindi
nakababasa. Bukod pa dito, 37 bata mula sa Bailang 2 at 84 bata mula sa Baitang 3 ang nasa pagkabigong
antas ng pagbasa. Ito ay mula sa resulta ng pagtataya ng Phil-IRI 2016 sa nasabing paaralan.
METHODS
Ang resulta ng paunang pagtataya at pangkatapusang pagtataya sa "Phil - IRI" ang pangunahing
instrument sa pagkalap ng datos. Ang eksperimental na desenyo ng pananaliksik ang ginamit sa pag-aaral
na ito. Sumailalim dito ang paggamit ng assessment tool, frequency count at pagkuha ng bahagdan.
RESULTS
Ang resulta, matapos ang anim (6) na buwan na pag -iimplementa ng Proyektong A4P's ay labingwalong
(18) mga bata sa Baitang 2 at labing -anim (16) na mga bata sa Baitang 3 na hindi nakakabasa noong
buwan ng Hulyo ay nagkaroon nang malaking kaunlaran sa kanilang pagbasa at pag-unawa. Dalawa (2)
sa mga batang nasa Baitang 2 ang kasalukuyang nasa Instraksyunal na Antas, 14 ang nasa Kabiguan, at
may nananatiling dalawang (2) bata ang hindi pa rin nakakabasa. Limang bata sa Baitang 3 ang
kasalukuyang nasa Instraksyunal na Antas at 11 ang nasa Kabiguang Antas ng pagbasa.
DISCUSSIONS
Kapansinpansin sa resulta ng pag-aaral na lahat ng stratehiya ay nagpapakita ng lubos na makabuluhang
relasyon ang antas ng pagbasa ng mga bata at ang estratehiyang kalendaryo ng pagbasa kung kaya
nagkaroon ng desisyon na tanggihan ang "null hypothesis".
Ito ay kauganay sa pag-aaral na ginawa ni Sabado (2012) na nagpapahayag na ang follow-up sa bahay at
remedial para sa mga apektadong mag-aaral ay nakakatulong upang maiangat ang kanilang marka. Ito ay
isang patunay na ang pakikipagtulungan ng mga magulang sa mga guro upang mapabasa ang mga bata ay
may lubos na makabuluhang relasyon sa pag-unlad ng antas ng pagbasa ng mga bata.

Epektong Dulot ng Pamumuno ng SSG sa Pananatili ng mga Mag-Aaral ng

Pila Senior High School
Noriel Del Rosario, Pila Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Ang paghubog sa kamalayan ng bawat isa ay nagmumula sa kanyang personal na katangian. Ang mga
taong magsisilbing tanglaw sa dilim na kinakaharap ng isang partikular na organisasyon; isang pangkat na
makakatuwang ng mga mag-aaral tungo sa pagkamit ng magandang kinakabukasan. Ang Supreme
Student Government (SSG) ang nagsisilbing mata at bibig ng bawat mag-aaral upang makamit ang
anumang mithiin. Tungkulin nito na bigyang importansiya ang disiplina at pagkatao na ipinapakita ng
bawat mag-aaral sa loob ng paaralan.
Isa sa suliraning kinahaharap ng paaralan ay ang palagiang pagliban ng mga mag-aaral na nagbubunga ng
mababang kasanayan sa loob ng silid-aralan, na minsan pa ay nagdudulot ng pagtigil ng mag-aaral o
pagkakamit ng mababang marka sa kanilang asignatura. Ang ganitong suliranin ay nadudulot ng
mababang antas ng kasanayan ng isang paaralan, pagbaba ng achievement rate at pagdami ng dropped
out rate.
METHODS
Ang pag-aaral na ito ay inihanda sa loob ng isang buwan na naglalayong sukatin at bigyang pansin ang
pagbaba at pagtaas ng lumiliban sa paaralan. Ang pag-aaral na ito ay limitado lamang sa 50 mag-aaral,
baitang 12 mula sa Pila Senior High School, Brgy. Pinagbayanan, Pila, Laguna.
RESULTS
Ang istatistikal na pamamaraan na ginamit sa pananaliksik ay weighted mean at standard deviation para
sa pagsagot sa epekto ng pamumuno ng SSG sa pananatili ng mga mag-aaral sa paaralan at sa pagsusuri
ng atendans.
1. Batay sa talahanayan 1, ito ay nagpapakita ng kabuuang mean na 3.86 at kabuuang SD na mayroong
1.06. Nangangahulugan na ang mag- aaral ay sumasangayon sa pamumuno ng SSG sa loob ng paaralan.
2. Pinapakita naman ng talahanayan 2, na may kabuuang mean na 3.96 at kabuuang S.D na 0.92.
Nangangahulugan na ang mga mag-aaral ay sumasang-ayon sa mga talatanungang inihanda na sumasagot
sa gawain at responsibilidad.
DISCUSSIONS
Ipinakita sa aksiyong pananaliksik na ito ang epektibong pamumuno ng SSG sa pananatili ng mga mag-
aaral sa paaralan. Mula sa pagbaba ng liban ng mga mag-aaral ito ay isang magandang indikasiyon upang
mapataas ang antas ng kasanayan ng mga mag-aaral sa paaralan. Masasabi din na malaki ang tungkulin
ng SSG bilang kinatawan at tinig ng mga mag-aaral.

Equal Connections and Problem-Solving Skills of Grade 6 Pupils of Dibibi

Integrated School Involving Measurement of Volume of Solids
Pete Ian A. Lagunilla, Dibibi Integrated School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Different philosophies in education emphasize the importance of putting real life situations from the
abstract concepts being taught in school. Studies show that learners learn best if there is transfer of
learning. The Department of Education provides textbooks, learning modules, internet access and the
like to provide ample references to learners yet they find difficulty in understanding the lessons,
specifically math problems. In this study, the researcher made use of an intervention to simplify and put
meaning in problem solving into real life situation.
METHODS
A descriptive method was used. The data was gathered from the pre-post test result before and after
implementing the intervention. The respondents were 44 Grade six pupils of Dibibi Integrated School
for the School Year 2017-2018.
RESULTS
Based on the results of the study, there was an increase of above average from the pre-post test result. It
revealed that there was a significant difference in the scores of respondents before and after the
implementation of the intervention in teaching. The effect of "Equal Connection" as an intervention has
a large effect. This connotes that the magnitude of difference in using "Equal Connection" made a large
effect to the pupils' learning.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of the study show that "Equal Connections" intervention was effective. It provides evidence
that the intervention made "Equal Connection" fits the learning needs in the classroom. Thus,
intervention is essential in improving the problem-solving skills of Grade 6 pupils. This connotes that
the magnitude of difference in using "Equal Connection" made a large effect to the pupils' learning.
Therefore, it was recommended that Triadic Model can be used as Strategic Intervention Materials in
teaching to help increase academic performance of students. Thus, making SIM can also be adopted to
other disciplines in the curriculum.

EQuaL4Educ, Entangled Quantum Leap for Education
Dolorosa De Castro, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is a vehicle in discovering the infinite boundary of knowledge; the wonders of God's creation
and the possibility of unveiling new possibilities. It also enriches the creativity of an individual making
him the pillars of tomorrow.
The EQuaL4Educ, Entangled Quantum Leap for Education, as a Re-entry Project, was implemented to
address the reading problem which was identified as the root cause for poor pupil achievement. It was
piloted at Mapagong Elementary School.
METHODS
As intervention to the reading problem, three deliverables were implemented. These were the conduct
of the in-service training in teaching reading, the development of appropriate localized learning
materials in the form of activity sheets in reading, and MOA signing by the stakeholders. These
stakeholders are the local government unit, the parent-teacher association, and the University of
Perpetual Help System Delta.
For the activity sheets in Filipino, there were 28 outputs in level one - Non-Reader, seven (7) in level
two - Struggling Reader and 12 in level three - Independent Reader while in English, there were 17
outputs in level one - Non-Reader, 4 in level two - Struggling Reader and 9 in level three - Independent
Reader.
RESULTS
Mini validation of the developed activity sheets was conducted for 10.5 days from May 19 to 31, 2018 to
identified 10 non-readers of grades one to three, after one week, eight (8) out of 10 learners were able to
decode words while two (2) learners were still in the process of recognizing letters. Thus, one (1) of the
said two (2) pupils was able to decode words before the end of mini validation. This only shows that
reading problem can be eradicated if this will be implemented for the entire school year.
DISCUSSIONS
Ways forward to sustain the program:
1. Utilization of the developed localized activity sheets for school year 2018-2019 in the following
elementary schools under the fourth (4th) quadrant; Mapagong, Latian, Southville VI, Turbina, Parian,
E. Barretto Sr., Putinglupa and Looc and training on reading cum utilization of localized activity sheets
in priority schools of the division having reading problems.
2. Coordination with the school principal, monitoring and continued partnership.
3. Institutionalization of the adoption of these materials in all schools of the division.

Equipping the Competency Level of Taysan Senior High School Students

on Detecting Online Fake News
Jessie Dimaano, Taysan Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In a digital society where information depends on everyone's click of fingertips, being victimized of
multiple online threats is definitely at the highest level. One of these is how the fake news threatens the
online environment, most especially the education aspect. Due to the extent of its damage, it is currently
being recognized as the reigning concern of individuals nowadays. Considering the listed aspects,
students, as an avid fan of performing diverse online activities, being victimized of fake news is not
impossible. Looking on a larger scale, particularly on the outcomes of the destructive effect of fake
news, the need for further equipping them with information will surely provide guidance on opposing
the prevalence of fake news.
The researcher focused on equipping the competency level of grade 12 students on detecting online
fake news with an end view of designing information dissemination paraphernalia. This study aimed to
achieve these objectives: 1) identify the common online platform sources of fake news, 2) identify the
types of online threat being met by the students on the suggested online sources, 3) determine the
extent of its effects, and 4) develop the strategies on detecting online fake news.
METHODS
The conducted study involved the descriptive survey method of research where questionnaires were
used as data gathering instruments. There were 178 respondents selected randomly from the Grade 12
students of TSHS. Meanwhile, frequency, ranking, and percentage were used to analyze the data.
Weighted mean was used to determine the extent of effects of fake news to an individual or students
and the strategies on detecting online fake news.
RESULTS
Results revealed that the leading online platform that serves as the common source of fake news was
Facebook. It was also found out that the biased fake news was the most frequent type of online threat.
Furthermore, students verified that fake news affects a person's belief towards a particular topic and
causes confusion about current issues and events. Moreover, among the strategies listed, evaluating the
author's profile and investigating the sources of fake news were the most leading way of the students to
detect online fake news.
DISCUSSIONS
The results showed that there was a need to enhance students' competency in determining fake news on
diverse online platforms. This could be achieved through proposed information dissemination
paraphernalia and most significantly through having initiatives on applying the learning recommended
by the researchers.

E-Reading Tool as a Vessel to Enhance English Language Competency

among Grade 10 Students
Charito Velasco, Department of Education - Lipa City National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Literature can be presented in a range of meaningful, interactive and interesting ways that enable
teachers to model, assess, and build upon literacy skills.
In the Philippines, the need to improve language learning becomes more perplexing than ever. Teachers
are challenged to design effective ways of language teaching.
An understanding of reading and relevance of the literature to the individuals concerned plays an
important role in the success of the literature's appeal. Appealing reading materials directly impacts
language and literacy development. Miller (2015) describes how to truly discuss literature with students,
that it is absolutely essential for a teacher to be familiar with the stories to gain a deeper insight into
what the students feel when they read a text. Allowing students to choose from a selection of
predetermined texts provides a structured framework for language and literacy development.
METHODS
The study which was conducted in Lipa City National High School in 2018 used the experimental
method of research since there were two groups of students involved in the research. One group was
exposed to the e-reading tool for the one quarter. To draw the comparison in terms of competencies
and performance, another group was taught using the traditional reading method.
The two groups were given the same set of competency assessment. The test results were compared so
that adequate conclusions and recommendations will be made.
RESULTS
There was significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the experimental group. The
average score in the pre-test is 20.52 while the average score in post-test is 25.80. A paired sample t-test
was used to test if significant difference between the mean scores of pre-test and posttest is observed.
With a t-value of -15.35 and a p-value of 0.00 (p<0.01). This shows effectiveness in the utilization of e-
reading tool.
DISCUSSIONS
The effectiveness of e-reading tool in teaching English is evident in the result of the post-test which was
significantly higher than pretest results. Reading based strategies namely reading as a springboard where
academic reading is utilized at a very great extent in all domains of the English language to develop the
student's language competence.
The implication is that teachers should closely look into the aspect of English instruction especially to
the six domains which has relationships with the post-test results of the students namely listening
comprehension, fluency, oral language and reading comprehension.

Writing is one of the four basic skills that should be honed for learners. When writing is unsatisfactory
in multiple ways, from poor grammar and syntax to unclear organization to weak reasoning and
arguments, complicating matters is the fact that many students' reading skills are also poor. There were
already programs and interventions on the poor reading skills of learners in the field of education.
However, the continuous problem on the poor writing skills of the learners had been the aim of this
study in which it described the errors in writing of learners and determined their writing level.
METHODS
A multi-method design was used. Using the descriptive paragraphs written by 10 randomly selected
students from nine sections of the Grade 10 at Sto. Nino National High School, the errors in writing
and the frequency of respondents having the same errors were identified. Correspondingly, a self-made
rating scale was used to determine the writing level of respondents. Hence, Powell (2008) suggested
words in rating scales were adopted.
RESULTS
It was found out in this study that there were 18 poor writing skills revealed in this study. These are the
following: use of punctuations, capitalization, S-V agreement, spelling, tenses of the verbs, redundancy,
use of nouns, use of conjunctions, use of articles, syntax, run-on sentence, use of pronouns, use of
prepositions, indention, spacing, use of adjectives, margins and vocabulary. Moreover, their prominent
writing level is Fair (F) with the frequency of 52 (58%).
Hence, it was also found out in this study that students have varied errors in writing. If they have that
certain error in writing, they kept on committing the same mistakes in the entire paragraph. Generally,
they have different weaknesses in writing.
DISCUSSIONS
The results reflect that most of the students have problems in writing. It suggests interventions that
would address such problems which contribute to the deteriorating writing skills of students. Out of
these results, school administrators and teachers can make plans for classroom and school activities that
would expose them in writing (paragraph, essays, etc.). In such, teachers should give emphasis on the
correctness of how ideas are being presented. Moreover, they can also come up with a good program
for the development of students' writing skills.

2019
Benett Pablo, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
As society is approaching towards improvement of the millennial development, teaching reading for
early grade pupils became a responsibility of teachers in developing the reading program of the school.
The program usually targets groups of early graders who have difficulty in reading. There are various
studies that have evaluated the effects of reading program. However, data that proves the impact of this
program is not always conclusive. This study presents a tool that can help the learners to read in their
early grade. The study aimed to conduct and implement a tool that will give children an easy way and an
enjoyable time when reading materials. The program entitled "ESMAC Enhanced Sounds, Marungco,
Alpabeto and Claveria a Reading tool for grade Two Pupils of Dalahican Elementary School is a four-
combination technique on how to teach children in Grade Two when it comes to reading. The program
will track the reading performance of the pupils after they used it in their daily routines in the classroom.
To sum it up, it is a way to lessen the non-readers among grade two pupils. As we assess the pupils, we
found out that almost one half of the class were having difficulty in reading and since that it was
successfully implemented in grade one, we decided to use this tool in grade two Narra.
METHODS
The experimental method was utilized wherein there were two variables used, the independent variables
and the dependent variables. It also described how the independent variables were manipulated through
treatment or intervention. The effect of those interventions was observed on the dependent variable.
The researchers selected one section in grade two of the respondents through a type of non-probability
sampling. Subjects were selected because of their convenient accessibility and proximity to the
researchers.
RESULTS
The study reveals that if the teachers used the E-SMAC tool, there is a high possibility that children can
read in their early grades, non-readers will be minimized or reduced. A large number of pupils
responded that they can read easily by means of the E-SMAC tool. They also found out that reading was
an enjoyable or pleasurable habit.
DISCUSSIONS
The research study dealt primarily with the implementation of an E-SMAC tool that will give support to
the School Reading Program of Dalahican Elementary School. The pupils in grade two will become the
respondents. The researchers will focus on the early grades especially those with reading difficulty.

Strategies
Ruby Bautista
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of the study was to determine the essential academic learning requirements and
achievement gaps of grade 7 Social Studies. The findings of the study will serve as bases for the index of
innovative pedagogical strategies.
To answer the call for the revival of Education standards, the K to 12 curriculum was adapted by the
Philippine educational system. The standards were quite different from what has been previously
practiced particularly in public schools. One major change is the spiral curriculum for all grade levels.
The standards are also more intense than what has been formerly practiced. For one, it includes
standards that require teachers to make use of tools and instructional materials, media and technological
resources accessible to the students and for the effective teaching of the subject matter. Furthermore,
the development of the instructional materials must be in the interests, knowledge, understanding,
abilities, needs and experiences of the students. In providing quality education, one should not
underscore the role of instructional materials in effective instruction. Aside from the basic textbook, the
use of instructional materials and various teaching strategies is essential for meaningful and effective
teaching, provide well-planned classroom activities with challenging problems that cater to the pupils'
learning style (Velasquez, 2013).
METHODS
A mixed method research design was employed. Purposive sampling technique was used in the selection
of 27 teachers, and 1,550 students. The data were gathered through the use of questionnaire
(quantitative) and an interview protocol.
RESULTS
The findings revealed that On the Level of Achievement of the Essential Academic Learning
Requirements of Grade 7 Learners in Social Studies based on the perceptions of the teachers all
interpreted as "Agree".
DISCUSSIONS
On the level of achievement of Grade 7 learners in the essential academic learning requirements in
Social Studies as indicated in actual class records are "Fairly Satisfactory". Teachers' participation in
seminars, workshops, INSET, SLACS, and professional development trainings for the teachers in public
schools are encouraged.

Establishing Climate-Resilient Schools through Disaster Preparedness and

Environmental Sustainability in Six Selected School in the District of
Calatagan
Krisna Masangkay, Department of Education - Batangas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Disaster preparedness has been recognized as a central element in reducing the impact among schools.
Every educational institution must develop skills and understanding in initiating active responses and
increasing community awareness and participation in environmental concerns. This study aimed to
identify the existing programs and the extent of practices in disaster preparedness and environmental
sustainability.
METHODS
The researcher used qualitative research approach through the use of questionnaires in gathering
necessary data. The respondents of the study were 75 nationally funded elementary teachers and school
heads from six (6) schools in the District of Calatagan. Data gathered were statistically analyzed using
Paleontological Statistics software package for education and data analysis (PAST version 3.16).
Correlation Test from PAST version 3.16 was used to determine the relationship between disaster
preparedness and environmental sustainability and demographic profile of the respondents. One-way
analysis of variance was used to identify the differences on the assessed practices.
RESULTS
Results of the study revealed that schools need to institutionalize disaster risk reduction management
policies and structures for the full implementation of the program. Teachers are aware of the existing
environment-related programs in their respective schools, but the implementation was insufficient.
Schools must establish and maintain a School Disaster Risk and Reduction Committee that is
responsible in school safety in terms of climate resiliency. A proposed action plan may assist teachers in
enhancing the practices in disaster preparedness in their respective schools. The action plan must focus
on the four indicators with lowest rank; assessment and planning for disaster mitigation, hazards and
risks; physical protection measures, environmental related features of the school curriculum and socio-
cultural sustainability.
DISCUSSIONS
The results show that schools need to institutionalize DRRM policies, structures and programs with
appropriate continuing budget to strengthen the capacity of the personnel in building a disaster-resilient
community and institutionalizing arrangement and measuring disaster risks. The action plan must be
adapted by the schools in the district to enhance the practices in disaster preparedness and
environmental sustainability and there is a need for full implementation of the existing DRRM programs
in schools.

Establishing Filipino Motifs in Various Movie Genres: An Archetypal

Literary Criticism of Philippine Satire
Eric James M. Faller, Lopez National Comprehensive High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
As part of literature, international or foreign works and writings are used as medium of studying the
beauty of life. With the same intensity, local literary works and writings should be given accentuation as
it undeniably encompasses their diverse contributions and value in the courses of life. In this study, the
researcher identified the commonly established Filipino motifs in various Philippine movie genres
through the approach of archetypal literary criticism and developed a compendium of Filipino
archetypes.
METHODS
This employed the descriptive method and qualitative approach of research that made use of content
analysis of the ninth and 2011 satire novel of Bob Ong which is entitled "Lumayo Ka nga sa Akin". The
book, which happened to be scripts for different movie genres such as action, comedy, drama, and
horror, was translated into English as "Get Away from Me" to give justice in interpreting the literary
text. In addition, the said novel was transcribed and analyzed thoroughly to come up with an analysis of
the archetypes in the movie genres’ images, archetypal patterns or motifs, and archetypal genres.
RESULTS
It is determined that Philippine movie genres exhibited motifs such as images of sea, river, rising sun,
setting sun, the colors red, blue, green, white and black, serpent, the archetypal women like the good
and terrible mother, the wise old man, desert, and trickster. Besides, the archetypal patterns or motifs
like the creation, the immortality referring to the escape from time and mystical submersion into cyclical
time and hero archetypes dealing with the quest, initiation, and sacrificial scapegoat are present in the
said genres. Lastly, it is realized that the archetypal genres, predominantly the mythos of fall, spring, and
summer that correspond to the concept of tragedy, romance, and comedy respectively, are utilized in
various movie genres
DISCUSSIONS
The results conclude that the different archetypes such as the images, archetypal patterns or motifs, and
archetypal genres are being used in the various Filipino movie genres specifically in the genres of action,
comedy, drama, and horror. Some archetypes are really dominantly recurring in a certain movie genre
while other archetypes are rarely used depending upon the situation executed in the movie genre. But
some archetypes are not utilized in such movie genres because it is not applicable in Philippine setting
or context.

Establishing Shared Ownership of Gulayan sa Paaralan in Tinurik

Elementary School: Basis for Parental Engagement Program
Zita Herrera, Teacher 3
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Part of the Department of Education mission: Family, community and other stakeholders are actively
engaged and share responsibility for developing lifelong process. What the school needs today is to
involve parents and stakeholders in the school programs and projects. Most often it fails because only
few parents respond to the invitation for participation. The school has to develop ways to win the hearts
of more parents to engage in the Department of Education programs. Encouraging parents to share
ownership in Gulayan sa Paaralan is one of the ways to build effective school-parent partnership in
Tinurik elementary School.
METHODS
The tool used to determine the parents' participation and commitment in Gulayan sa Paaralan is
tracking their attendance and analyzing their feedbacks. The tracking of performance is monitored from
July to September or from soil preparation and planting up to harvesting. Each grade levels were given
vacant areas in the school to garden.
RESULTS
The study has determined the effectiveness of the shared ownership of Gulayan sa Paaralan. The school
has been awarded Best Gulayan sa Paaralan Implementer in the Division of Tanauan City for four
consecutive years. The supply of vegetables, specially the green leafy vegetables in the School Based
Feeding Program was sustained throughout the year. All vacant areas and garden plots were utilized and
planted. Excess vegetables for the school feeding were shared to the parents and to the community. The
money raised from vegetables sold in the community was used in the support of the maintenance of the
garden.
DISCUSSIONS
The program "Establishing Shared Ownership of Gulayan sa Paaralan” has improved the parents'
participation in school programs and projects. Harmonious relationship of the school, parents and
community was evident. Pupils attendance were raised to 100%. SBFP beneficiaries who did not eat
vegetables before are now enjoying eating food with plenty of vegetables. They are now more active in
class. Different recipes with indigenous vegetables were also shared to parents and community because
it became available in the school garden.

Ethical Behavior and Social Responsibility of Teachers in Balete National

High School
Larry F. Garcia & Marissa M. Garcia, Department of Education - Division Of

Batangas - Balete National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
It has been said that the Code of Professional Ethics for Teachers serves as the bible for a teacher.
Written in it are the ethical standards and social responsibilities that a teacher may possess. Every action
that a teacher does must be in accordance with the code or else a teacher will suffer the consequences of
his/her action. However, as humans are, everyone is bound to commit mistakes, and teachers are not an
exemption to it, as teachers are also human. Likewise, the cliché© should not be used by a teacher as an
excuse for committing mistakes. It must bear in mind that for every action there is an equal and/or
opposite ethical and social obligation. People are responsible for their own actions. Being conscious and
having somebody to remind and caution you with your actions would somehow lessen or prevent you
from disobeying the code of ethics for professional teachers.
METHODS
The study used the descriptive survey as a research method with questionnaire as the main data
gathering instrument. The questionnaire was constructed in the light of the specific questions of the
study.
RESULTS
The respondents perceived that a higher assessment means that the teacher knows how to do what is
right for the students and the community while a lower assessment in the teacher protects his/her own
interest above other considerations. Likewise, the parents agreed that higher rate in terms of social
responsibility falls on the teacher; offering waste disposal services and serving the interest of the school
and the community. While a lower rate in the teacher prevents abuse of products harmful to the
environment and the teacher exhibits cooperative attitude and behavior towards community projects
and activities.
DISCUSSIONS
There is a present study that the authors assessed curriculum coordinators' perceptions of the level of
inclusion of ethics and social responsibility at the level of specific programs and activities. It has been
suggested therefore that there should be integration of ethics and social responsibility into various
specific disciplines because when one important value contradicts another, they are faced with an ethical
dilemma. When faced with a dilemma, it is one’s professional responsibility to consult the Code and all
relevant parties to find the most ethical resolution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This Ethnomethodological study aimed to investigate the pedagogical benefits of strategic conversation
of social studies teacher with the students. Although it was conducted in a public school in the
Philippines, it is believed to depict universal happenings in any classroom setting.
METHODS
The attempt was a Qualitative Research-Ethnomethodological featuring conversation analysis. Students'
doodles were even used to validate the emerging themes. Data gathering was done by recording,
transcribing and analyzing the conversation purposely to discover themes for the preparation of
classroom activities on social issues such as Environment, Politics, Human Rights and alike.
RESULTS
Patterns of conversation procedures were revealed: Initiation, Reply and Evaluation. Students gained
decision making skills, deepened understanding of concepts and ability to elicit and express ideas.
DISCUSSIONS
Gordon Pask's (2008) assertion that learning occurs through conversation making knowledge explicit
was confirmed. It is therefore recommended that Social Studies teachers utilize the compendium of
activities for classroom discussion. It is further suggested that teachers employ strategic conversation for
students' mastery of lessons and a more productive teaching-learning experience.

Evaluate the Impact of Concept Mapping in Teaching Human Body

System on 5th Grade Students Science Vocabulary Achievement
Cynthia Cadua, Area J Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The primary purpose is to evaluate the impact of concept mapping in teaching the human body system
on 5th grade students Science vocabulary achievement in K-12 curriculum. This study is an intervention
to the problem of students at risk in learning Science and applying the guidelines of Department of
Education regional office entitled "The 2C-2I-1R: K to 12 Approaches Across Learning Areas that
Support Teacher" for use in curriculum implementation. In order for students to develop scientific
literacy, they need to gain knowledge of Science content and practice scientific habit of mind. Knowing
Science vocabulary supports the development of these understanding.
METHODS
Participants for this study were 5th Graders of Area J Elementary School in the District of General
Mariano Alvarez, Cavite. The project procedures were explained to each 5th Grade class as well as the
timeline. The dependent variables were the vocabulary exposure versus vocabulary instruction and
concept mapping and to measure vocabulary achievement, pretest. Posttest, and Knowledge Rating
Survey was used.
While there are many more strategies for helping students learn and use science vocabulary, this
initiative provided a starting point for combining science content and vocabulary instruction and a way
to avoid falling back on traditional vocabulary instruction practices. It takes concentrated effort to fit
even more time for science instruction into a school day.
RESULTS
The study revealed that the implementation of concept mapping classroom strategy has a significant
effect on the students' vocabulary achievement level. Post test result revealed that experimental group
performed very well. Through this hands-on instruction, all students can develop context-based content
knowledge along with language development. This is very beneficial to students in participating in
learning Science.
DISCUSSIONS
The concept mapping classroom strategy can begin to help all students engage in the language of
Science. To enhance Science vocabulary development for the 5th grader who depend on school to learn
academic language, by using these strategies, teachers can help all students engage in the language of
Science. Teaching learning process provided that it should be properly implemented during the
independent and collaborative learning sessions held on Fridays. The class should be well facilitated, and
responsibilities were compiled by the students.

Filomena De Torres, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
IRR of RA 9155 under rule 1, section 1.2, states that principals, school administrators, and teachers-in-
charge (hereinafter collectively referred to as school heads) must exercise instructional leadership and
sound administrative management of the school. It has been observed and experienced that there are
multi-tasks incurred to the roles and functions of school heads. In this study, the researcher evaluated
the leadership practices of the elementary school heads as a basis for a professional development plan
that will help promote professional growth. Thus, the Department of Education’s Vision and Mission
be attained.
METHODS
A questionnaire was used to obtain data from the respondents. This was composed of three major parts.
The first part included the profile of the school heads in terms of age, gender, educational attainment,
position and number of years in present position. The second part of the questionnaire contained items
related to dominant instructional leadership practices that the school heads exhibited in their respective
school in line with assessment for learning, developing programs and or adapting existing programs,
implementing programs for instructional improvement, and instructional supervision. The third part
was the plan of action that may be proposed to ensure effective delivery of instructional leadership
practices for elementary school heads in Rosario West District.
RESULTS
Most of the respondents found difficulty in practice on the uses of research, expertise, and /or other
vehicles to assist in developing and implementing a coherent and responsive schoolwide curriculum as a
component of instructional leadership practices. Management of curriculum innovation and enrichment
with the use of technology as a component of instructional had been found to be one of the practices
needed to improve. On the other hand, organizing teams to champion instructional innovation were
practiced by some. Preparing instructional supervisory plans were sought to be practiced very much by
the respondents.
DISCUSSIONS
The results show the need to strengthen the said practice by attending research training and
compendium where teachers can benchmark the works of colleagues thereby each one will grow
professionally. Implementation of programs for instructional improvement through the use of
technology can be materialized through tapping or soliciting various stakeholders for technology
resources. The Professional development plan will be developed to help improve the said practices.

Accomplished in Science of the Grade 4 Pupils of Paaralang Elementarya
ng Palahanan
Marissa Bautista, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This action research was done to evaluate the projects accomplished in Science by the Grade Four
Pupils at Paaralang Elementarya ng Palahanan School Year 2017-2018. According to the Science
Teachers, they met problems in teaching this subject. For this reason, the researcher thought of the best
practices that can help the pupils make their projects using the indigenous materials found in their
barangay. Sensing that some of the Grade Four Pupils were reluctant in accomplishing the required
projects in Science.
METHODS
A descriptive method was employed in evaluating the effectiveness of using intervention in projects
accomplished in Science. This method was applied to the Grade 4 pupils of Paaralang Elementarya ng
Palahanan. The instruments used were as follows: teacher records, observations, questionnaires/
checklist, interview with parents, home visit, PTA Meetings, and details of the study.
RESULTS
The results of the interview, questionnaire, checklist done by the researcher revealed the following:
pupils cannot afford to buy materials used, financial difficulty, availability of materials, lack of parents'
concern, laziness on the part of the pupils, and lack of pupils’ interest on the projects. To remedy the
situation, Science Teachers thought of a Project. This project was a Diorama. The diorama was made of
different indigenous materials. One output they made was INDI-Zoo. The Science Teachers were
thankful that the number of pupils who did not accomplished their projects lessened due to the use of
indigenous materials.
DISCUSSIONS
The results revealed that the following activities were undertaken to produce better accomplishments:
the teacher resorted to the use of local materials like bamboo sticks, coconut shell, local fruits, and clay,
pupils work on projects suited to the lesson and in season, home visits and Homeroom PTA meetings
were done, daily observation and guidance by the teacher-advisers were done especially during Science
Period and even in their remedial time. The foregoing findings made the researcher conclude that
although 100% completion cannot be attained, through the combined efforts and guidance of teachers
and parents, projects in Science can be accomplished.

Merlita De Torres, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Arts is one of the most interesting subjects in school but sometimes it is being neglected. Teachers were
aware of its importance but mostly the time was spent for remediation in academic subjects or copying
the lesson for the day especially in the lower section. The new curriculum that was implemented by
Department of Education, the K to 12, Arts is being given the same weight as the academic subjects but
still it is sometimes being neglected. Sensing that some of the Grade 5 - Earth pupils have been reluctant
with regards to accomplishing the required projects in Arts, the teacher thought of helping the subject,
hence this action research has been made.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was employed with the use of interview, questionnaire, and
checklist prepared by the teacher- adviser as a tool to gather data. The respondents of this study were 12
Grade 5 - Earth pupils (4 male and 8 female) of Paaralang Elementarya ng Palahanan school year 2018-
2019.
RESULTS
The results of the interview, questionnaire, and checklist done by the adviser revealed the following:
(1) that they cannot afford to buy materials used; (2) financial difficulty; (3) availability of materials;
(4) lack of parents’ concern; (5) laziness on the part of the pupils; and (6) lack of pupil’s interest on the
project. Based on the class record of the teacher, during the first grading period, 12 pupils did not
submit projects while during the second grading, the number of pupils without projects was lessened.
DISCUSSIONS
The foregoing findings made the researcher conclude that although 100% completion cannot be
attained, through proper guidance by both the parents and teachers, pupils can accomplish the required
projects.

Based Management Program Implementation at Talisay District: Basis for
Best Practices Implementation Scheme
Kristine Araño, Department of Education - Batangas Province
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Schools in the Philippines adapted SBM in such a way that it serves as the guide on how school leaders
will apply the changes that should be inculcating in our education systems nowadays. The main
objective of the study is to evaluate the perceived competency level of management skills of school
heads anchored to the school-based management program implementation at Talisay District.
METHODS
The study utilized the descriptive method of research since the main objective of the study was to
evaluate the management skills of school heads as the implementer of school-based management. The
researcher used a questionnaire based on the Assessment Tool of School- Based Management in
gathering the data. Data were gathered through research questionnaires distributed to the school heads
and teachers during their convenient time. Weighted mean was computed to determine the extent of
perceived competency level of management skills school heads in the implementation of School-Based
Management Program.
RESULTS
Findings revealed that there was a significant difference between the School Leadership and Internal
Stakeholders as perceived by the school heads and teachers. Thus, there was no significant difference
between the School Improvement Process and School Accountability; school heads have led the internal
variables of implementation as reflected on the findings of the perceived management skills. It also
showed that even the stakeholders participated in the implementation program, yet there were few who
were not yet aware of it and who lacked understanding about the School-Based Management. Moreover,
there were difficulties faced by both school heads and teachers. Some of these difficulties among the
respondents were communication and lacking knowledge by the stakeholders about how the SBM work
in a certain school; and school heads and teachers needed to enhance their SBM implementation as seen
in the findings.
DISCUSSIONS
It is highly recommended that school heads must conduct trainings and seminars with teachers and
stakeholders before implementing SBM. The process of decentralizing the school management would
be powerful and strong if all the stakeholders are working on it; school district should also provide
forum for the interchange of information among schools about the new concepts and new strategies
tried by individual school. This will further encourage the school heads and teachers to make the school
and students competitive.

Maricar Palmones
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Through daily science activities, children will have science experiences that will develop scientific traits
as well as traits of cooperation and responsibility. In doing this, good science teaching strategies are
needed. However, this is not easy to attain as many teachers have come to realize that giving appropriate
strategies as well as using effective instructional materials are never simple. As future teachers, the
results obtained from this study will be of great help in choosing effective strategies that can encourage
pupils to learn science concepts and at the same time to enjoy their science learning experiences.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was used since the concern is to give the best result of the strategies
in teaching science. The result became a basis for making effective activities that can further enhance the
effectiveness of science teaching strategies. We used grade three to six teachers as respondents. Through
a self-constructed questionnaire, documentary analysis, and interview, data needed were gathered. The
data obtained from the teacher-respondents were tallied, tabulated, and interpreted using the statistical
tools such as percentage, frequency, ranking, and weighted mean.
RESULTS
The findings showed that the majority of the respondents fall under the age bracket of 20-40 and above,
female, have taken units in master's program and have 2-10 years of teaching experience. The teaching
strategies often used by public science teachers at Calitcalit Elementary school were letting the students
ask questions to clarify certain points during the learning activity, teaching the students basic skills, and
knowledge through step by step method, giving the students the opportunity to talk and share ideas to
clarify a problem that calls for solution, exposing the students to real setting intended to present
concepts in the most realistic manner, and presenting science in both inductive and deductive way
respectively. Age, educational qualification, and years of teaching experiences were significantly related
to the strategies that teachers used in teaching Science.
DISCUSSIONS
The proposed activities to further enhance the effectiveness of science strategies may be presented to
some authorities for their suggestions and comments, validation and implementation. The government
should provide every science teacher a specialized training especially the bachelor's degree holder to
enhance teacher's ability in using the different science teaching strategies.

Evaluation of the School - Based Crafted Child Protection Policy of Padre

Imo Luna Memorial Elementary School (PILMES)
Arlene Atienza, Department of Education - San Jose
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Evaluation of the level of implementation of the prevailing Child Protection Policy must then be
acknowledged to gauge its effectiveness and efficiency. Through this process, the school may be able to
arrive into a more comprehensive measure that may, at the course of time, enable the school to create a
more across - the - board implementing procedures. Moreover, this study intently deliberates the level
of implementation of the Child Protection Policy as perceived both by teaching and non - teaching
personnel of PILMES. This study then yields to identify important points that may steer for a thorough
revision of the current policy, if needed.
METHODS
This was a descriptive qualitative research which intends to evaluate the current status of the school -
based crafted Child Protection Policy of PILMES as to its level of implementation.
The respondents of the study were identified national item position currently employed at PILMES,
including one non - teaching personnel. Varied data gathering procedures were used by the researchers
such as the survey method, open ended questions and focus group discussions. Instruments of the study
were checklist, questionnaires, and focus group discussion guide.
RESULTS
It has been evident that the school's crafted CPP needed improvement in the reporting and monitoring
systems to meet the standards as referred by the department. Linkages and coordination with the
community must also be set into priority to help improve the implementation rules and policies as
indicated in the drafted CPP of the school.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of the survey checklist highlighted a higher rate of implementation level. Frequency level on
each item manifested are far higher than those which are not present, referring to programs, policies
and/or procedures. This indicated that the existing CPP of PILMES was effective though it needed
revisions and modifications in certain points. Presence of the written school - based CPP has been
noted to be one of the most significant factors being considered. Intensified information dissemination
system through the use of social networks was also evidently helpful.
Key points were identified to have caused failure such as incomplete notions in the school's disciplinary
procedures, mapping of available resources in the community to attend to the needs of children is
inconsistent, and poor feedback mechanism to monitor the existing policy, which therefore hindered the
success of the implementation of the school based CPP proceedings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
It is always a constant challenged in Tupi National High School that there are always a categorized
number of students who tend to leave school during the third quarter of the calendar year for the
reasons that they are working. They live in a mountainous area and have served as laborers, some are
married, and most had already recorded of leaving the school every school year. It was in these premises
that Flexible Learning Options (FLO) study was conceptualized as the school-initiated intervention (SII)
to keep these students in school.
METHODS
This study was conducted among the one hundred thirty (130) OHSP/FLO students in Tupi National
High School SY 2016-2017. The participants underwent orientation and were given the Independent
Learning Readiness Test (ILRT) to determine the individual readiness help the teacher determine a
learner's reading level. This study employed descriptive by using frequency distribution and Mean(x) to
describe the independent reading inventory of the learners. It was found out that most of the FLO
learners were categorized under Instructional Level with a computed mean of 1.81 or 2, this would
describe that the participants demonstrated the competencies with some supervision/ assistance from
the teacher. Thus, instructional level signaled an area of difficulty.
RESULTS
It was found out in the study that among eight (8) subject areas, Filipino and English subject
competencies were not aligned in the K- 12 learning competencies. For Araling Panlipunan, only Grade
10 FLO modules were not aligned in the K-12 learning competencies. The researcher was able to
articulate and produced K-12 aligned ten (10) competencies for each subject area that is good for ten
(10) Saturdays or 10 meetings as one of Tupi National High School's Initiated Intervention practices for
students at-risk of dropping out.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the result, there is a need to revisit and revise the modules particularly the Project-Ease
modules which are used by the Open High School Program (OHSP) teachers and students. This study
needs further research and innovation for the improvement of modules for the Open High School
Program (OHSP).

INTRODUCTION
In support to the progressive rollout of the K to 12 Basic Education Program (BEP), the Standards-
and-Competency-Based (SCB) grading system is implemented through Department of Education Order
No. 8, series 2015 entitled Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 BEP. Schools
Division Office (SDO) of Tabaco City, through the School Governance Operations Division (SGOD) -
School Management Monitoring and Evaluation (SM M&E) section, is mandated to ensure the effective
implementation of existing assessment policy. This action research is a systematic undertaking of
monitoring and evaluation of Department of Education Order 8, series 2015 implementation from SY
2015-2016 to SY 2017-2018.
METHODS
Descriptive method of gathering data from participants was used. The Continuous Improvement (CI)
methodology of listening to the Voice of the Customer (VOC) like participation in online survey was
undertaken. Frequency and percentage were used to analyze results. Issues and concerns were tabulated
and described.
RESULTS
The result in this action research were considered authentic because most of them were generated from
the voices of the teacher-user who participated in the online survey. The issues and concerns stated
were the presence of concepts / theories in assessment that were not clear to teacher-users, issue on
determining honor pupils, problems on rating and giving awards related to core values, request for
inclusion of the DO 8,s 2015 topics in SLAC and need of support for effective implementation of the
said assessment policy. The features of the DO 8, s. 2015, the teachers considered as hindering factors
were the critical concepts and theories not clearly understood by teachers. The eminent ones are Zone
of Proximal Development (ZPD), Cognitive Process Dimensions (CPD), Written Work-Performance
Tasks-Quarterly Assessment (WW-PT-QA), Components of summative assessment, Recomputed
Grades, and Classroom Assessment.

Every "JUAN" a Reader - a Localized JONHS Reading Program Towards

the Development of an Enhanced Program
Gladys Biscocho
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading is the most fundamental part of education. It opens the door to number of opportunities from
growth and development. Bringing all children to literacy in years of schooling is not an easy talk. It
requires collaboration among educators and parents to identify the needs for additional literacy. In this
study, the researcher has felt the need to assess the impact of the localized reading program on
freshman students' performance in the periodical test of JONHS in Tanauan City as basis for an
enhancement program.
METHODS
The respondents were the 45 grade seven students who were categorized in frustration level and two
non - readers. They were selected to comprise the sample using the result of pretest of oral and silent
reading. Sight words were given to each student per week. Subject teachers especially those with English
as a medium of instruction used the sight words in teaching to familiarize students with the words.
Follow - up activities such as spelling bee, peer reading, sight words meaning, and sentence construction
were done to ensure mastery of the common sight words given to the students under the program.
Statistical treatments applied to the data of the study included the frequency and percent distributions,
the simple mean and mean percentile score.
RESULTS
There were 150 sight words mastered by the learners. The percentage of accomplishments per activity
was notable. 85% for the use of sight words in every classroom discussion; 80% for spelling bee and for
the use of the sight words in a sentence was 93.75%. Based on the MPS results of the periodical tests
given in the third and fourth quarter, there was a significant increase in students' performance in the
periodical test. Post test results of oral and silent reading indicated that from 45 students, 38 students
leaped as independent readers.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers were successful in motivating and challenging the students to do the reading activity through
an organized plan which include its specific objectives, learning tasks and expected outcomes. The
students felt the confidence that the said activity can be done with sight words posted inside the
classroom. Hence, the researcher believed that there should be a localized reading program in all schools
in the division in as much as all avenues or strategies should be considered just to improve the students'
knowledge. It was also recommended that future researchers on reading program utilize relatively large
sample sizes and, if possible, employ experimental type of investigation.

Every Teacher is a Counselor: Imagineering the Classroom Managers'

Activities in Counseling Students
Cherry Del Campo, Merry Joy Ching, & Delon Ching
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Not all public schools in the country have Guidance Counselors that is why some classroom managers
were tasked to become teacher-counselors. However, one designated counselor is not enough to handle
populated school and to maximize the peace and order and strictly monitor students’ academic
development, classroom managers are expected to partner with them in classroom base. The main
objective of the study is to assess how school teachers involve themselves in several activities related to
counseling students. Comparing their current practices to what they imagined/ expected to do which
leads to their effectiveness as counselors.
METHODS
Descriptive research design through survey is utilized in the study which is participated by 35 randomly
selected teachers in Looc Integrated School for SY 2018-2019. A holistic development of teacher-
counselors capacity which is limited in the discussion of how teachers perform counseling with their
students with academic, attitudinal and home related concerns. A survey was administered and assessed
the actual and expected duty of classroom managers in counseling students.
RESULTS
The study revealed that most teachers worked 21%-40% of counseling duties in a day for almost 10
years and below experience. It also showed that there was a significant difference between teachers'
estimated practice of counseling activities to what was desirable. It was evident that most of them
seldom do it on a typical day compared to often times standard which meant that they were somewhat
effective in counseling. They were more comfortable of dealing with individual counseling than in
program evaluation and assessment which was the same preference of their school administrators.
DISCUSSIONS
Proper facilitation of individual counseling should be discussed in School Learning Action Cell (SLAC)
since this was the most convenient way teachers do to counsel students. Classroom managers were
advised to do counseling often times and this could be done through devoting greater percentage of
counseling duties wholeheartedly. They should also work hand-in-hand with the teacher-counselors or
guidance counselors assigned in the school for the proper way in counseling students, this will lead to a
more effective attribute of a counselor.

Evolving an Instrument to Measure an Effective School
Viviene Lei Dela Paz
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study is to evolve the indicators of an effective school climate. Specifically, this
study seeks to answer the following questions: (1) Identify the dimensions of an effective school; (2)
Enumerate the indicators of an effective school as perceived by top management, teachers, parents and
students in terms of: Leadership Skills, School Curriculum (Content, Teaching Processes, and
Assessment/Evaluation); School Facilities; Students Services; and School Culture; (3) Explain the
significant differences in the perceptions of the four groups of respondents in terms of dimensions of
school climate mentioned above.
METHODS
This study utilized the descriptive-qualitative method of research. Its main concern was to evolve with
indicators placed in five dimensions of an effective school climate. The school dimensions namely:
leadership, curriculum (content, processes, and assessment/ evaluation), school facilities, student
services and school culture. Perceptions of the respondents were gathered through the accomplishment
of a 58-item instrument. The responses varied along a four-point scale verbally described as Strongly
Agree (4), Agree (3), Disagree (2) and Strongly Disagree (1). The data gathered from the survey
questionnaire were subjected to statistical analysis that included frequencies, percentages, means,
standard deviations, and the F test. The F test was used to determine if a significant difference existed
among the means.
RESULTS
The results of the study revealed that the dimensions of an effective school were leadership, curriculum
(content, processes, and assessment/evaluation), school facilities, student services and school culture.
There was a significant difference in the stakeholders means perceptions in terms of leadership,
curriculum, and school facilities. It appeared that the concerns of management were more understood
by school administrators and teachers as expected more than students and parents do.
DISCUSSIONS
In line with the conclusions drawn from the findings of this study, the following recommendations were
made: (1) Management of an effective school should focus on leadership, curriculum and school
facilities, school managers should provide more forums and workshops;
(2)
Sc
hool managers must use the developed instrument to gather information on school dimensions of
effectiveness; (3) The developed instrument can also be used to identify the school variable to be
enhanced.

EWPT (Essay Writing Progress Test): A Supplementary Monitoring Tool to

Mitigate the Common Errors in Grammar Form and Structure
Noel Bernales
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching grammar is not an end in itself, but it is a means to an end. To understand the nature of the
language, we must understand the nature of grammar. Grammar competencies are the least learned
areas of learners in the English language. Based on the SLP (School Learning Profile) of Grade 8 ESEP
class conducted at the end of school year 2016-2017, indicated that learners scored lowest on grammar
related competencies. Still another gap is that Department of Education has not issued English 8
textbooks to school.
METHODS
The tool was researcher-made and have been practiced by the researcher for five years. On its first three
years, the tool has undergone changes, revisions, and has ripened by repeated acts of applying. It was
implemented in the Grade 8 ESEP class, with 30 learner respondents. The researcher dedicated an hour
of instructions to learners as to the process of operating the tool. They were oriented in each indicator
and special functions of each table. It was a four-week progress test that learners will get to engage
during the English class hour of the researcher.
RESULTS
The results showed that with 30 students in the ESEP class, students get the lowest percentage score in
week 2 (see column 2) with 74.8%. Students got the highest number of errors committed using
CONJUNCTIONS and TRANSITION DEVICES which made the narrative essay as the hardest type
of essay for the learners to accomplish.
On one side, the table also revealed that with the average rating of 10, respondents got the lowest score
in applying GRAMMAR RULES & USAGE specifically in Original Writing Stage. It was empirical that
students have the highest number of errors committed in applying correct grammar to their writings.
DISCUSSIONS
An interactive classroom must embody the following principles in learning; (1) Students must be busier
than the teacher who is just a facilitator; (2) Learners get to be more attached and engaged when
learning activities are customized or contextualized according to their experiences particularly in writing
attempts; and (3) Addressing the gap or problem in real classroom settings require classroom practices
that are sustainable and continuous.

EX.P.L.A.IN. for Grade 5 (Experimental Research for Proficiency in

Language through Assessment and Intervention) - a Basis for a Language
Enhancement Program
Arlan Fellger Pilpil & Lerma Angue, Department of Education - Cavite, Palangue
3 Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In the K-12 Curriculum, it has been emphasized that language is the basis of all communication and the
primary instrument of thought. Thinking, learning, and language are interrelated. Language is governed
by rules and systems (language conventions) which are used to explore and communicate meaning.
And last February 21, 2018, GMA News reported that the level of English proficiency of College
graduates from the Philippines is lower than the target English proficiency of High school students in
Thailand.
In light of this development, the researcher aims to explore some ways so as to assess and improve the
English competency of the twenty-six (26) Grade V pupils of Palangue 3 Elementary School.
METHODS
The experimental method of research design was used and was conducted to the twenty-six (26) Grade
V pupils of Palangue 3 Elementary School. Using a quantitative approach, the researcher has conducted
a pretest which was used as a basis for intervention and post-test to assess the pupils' progress.
The statistical treatment each part of the test was done separately. The pretest was conducted on
September 10-11, 2018. After which, the intervention was conducted for 60 school days during the class
period of Remedial Teaching. On December 14 and 17, the same test was given to the pupils as a post-
test.
RESULTS
After conducting the pretest, it was concluded that the pupils needed an intervention program that will
help to enhance their English proficiency. Among the domains that were assessed, the speaking skills of
the pupils was proven to be their weakest. It was also revealed that knowing the language did not
necessarily translate into articulation of thoughts.
However, after 60 school days of the intervention, the result showed that there was a significant
improvement in all of the assessed domains. Therefore, the class passed each part of the test.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrated the need for the continuation and further improvement of the intervention
program for the pupils until the end of the school year. It was highly suggested that the intervention
should be expanded by proposing an English Language Program next school year.
The question of the inconsistency of the MPS in the post-test result of this research in contrast to the
MPS of the Second Quarterly Test (70.92) in English became apparent. As such, the researcher made
the concluded that the Quarterly Test assessed for the Mastery of the Competencies in the English
Curriculum and not the Language Proficiency as a whole.

Examining the Impact of Facebook in the Emotional Status of Grade 11

Students of Looc Integrated School
Christine Corpus, Looc Integrated School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Facebook was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students. In 2006, Facebook was extricated
worldwide. Later on, this platform allows users to connect to hundreds or even thousands of people
around the world. A lot of people nowadays use Facebook for socializing. People have now become
engaged with each other by posting or updating their profile or personal information. This made
Facebook one of the symbols of globalization. The researcher conducted this study to scrutinize the
impact of Facebook in the user's academic performance, mental health, and social interaction that can
be obtained by using this platform and to know its benefits.
METHODS
This study used a Descriptive Research Design under Qualitative Approach. The researcher conducted a
study in Looc Integrated School where five (5) respondents were randomly selected among Grade 11
students from Batch 2017-2018 for interview and observation of the study. Thematic analysis was used
for the treatment of data to help the researchers make sense of seemingly unrelated material. It was used
to analyze qualitative information and to systematically gain insight and knowledge from data gathered.
RESULTS
Researcher found that the respondents are more grateful for their study time because according to them,
they use Facebook only when they have free time and when their work is over. That is why using
Facebook has no effect on their GPA or school success. Some of them rely on Facebook where they
used it to ease their loneliness, excitement, and especially when they are bored because, for them,
Facebook gives them chills and enjoyment. But in terms of social interaction or expressing themselves,
they prefer using face-to-face interaction or talking to people rather than using Facebook or online
contact. They said that they cannot see people's emotions or feelings if they communicate through
Facebook chat. That is why they choose to communicate face to face than through online
communication with someone and socialize with other people.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the result of the study, Facebook affects the students in many factors. According to the
interview, students manage their time when using Facebook. Thus, the students’ academic success is not
affected by using Facebook. It also has a positive effect on their mental health because students said that
Facebook helps them ease their loneliness and that it gives them chills and enjoyment during social
interaction. Most of the students choose face-to-face interaction rather than using Facebook or online
platforms for socializing.

Excel in GenMath: Using Spreadsheets in Teaching and Learning

Piecewise Functions
Jeanne Marie Lago, Cuenca Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In promoting algebraic thinking and problem-solving, the use of spreadsheets or Microsoft Excel has
offered a number of advantages. Excel functions may be directly used in translating and creating
formulas for more efficient and accurate calculations. This study is aimed at exploring the use of
spreadsheets (mobile Excel) in teaching and learning piecewise functions in General Mathematics to
Grade 11 students.
METHODS
Using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) Model, lessons were
prepared. A Quasi-Experimental Design was used to analyze effectiveness of teaching piecewise
functions by using mobile Excel. Two groups, ABM 1101 and ABM 1102 were conveniently chosen as
the control and experimental groups, respectively. ABM 1101 was taught using mobile Excel while
ABM 1102 was not. The groups' pre and posttest scores and performance task mistakes were compared.
RESULTS
It was found out that both groups performed better in the posttest than in the pretest. Overall, in both
sections, learners scored higher in the posttest (M = 35.8, SD = 26.9) than in the pretest (M = 19.7, SD
= 13.7). ABM 1101 (M = 37.1, SD = 27.5) learners who were taught with the use of Excel in the
classroom scored higher than ABM 1102 (M = 34.4, SD = 26.5). Learners also were generally able to
come up with a tax calculator using their mobile Excel’s If-Then-Else function given a tax table.
Fourteen (14) learners were chosen for a discussion on the use of spreadsheets in teaching and learning
functions using spreadsheets. The participants believe that learning piecewise functions together with
the use of spreadsheets will be useful for them in the future. They pointed out that instead of manually
computing for values, formulas may just be created so that outputs will automatically appear.
DISCUSSIONS
This indicates that the use of spreadsheets may be integrated in teaching and learning applications of
piecewise functions. As a result of the interviews conducted, learners are generally happy about their
Mathematics class when spreadsheets are used. They believe that the skills taught to them on using
piecewise functions and using spreadsheets will be of help. This suggests that spreadsheets may be
explored in teaching and learning other topics in General Mathematics or even in other subjects. With
these results, a teacher's guide was developed that aims to assist teachers and learners in using and
applying piecewise functions with mobile Excel.

Expectations of Grade 11 Students on Physics: A Basis for Instructional

Materials Development
Inocencio M. Duhan, Kristel Ann Alday, & Ramona V. Dimalaluan, Department

of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study explores the students' attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions about Physics and how these
attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions can be used as basis for the development of instructional materials.
METHODS
The researchers used the Maryland Physics Expectations (MPEX) Survey and a Likert scale
questionnaire developed to probe some aspects of what to call student expectations. The factors include
independence, coherence, concepts, reality link, Mathematics link, and effort. The survey was used to
measure the distribution of student views at the beginning of the Fourth Quarter in 9 sections of both
the Academic and Technology Vocational and Livelihood tracks of Balayan Senior High School.
RESULTS
Results revealed that Grade 11 students believe ideas learned in Physics are relevant and useful in a wide
variety of real-life contexts. They also made the effort to use available information and tried to make
sense of it. Learning materials were anchored on three factors: reality link, effort, and independence.
Physical Science (Physics) learning modules contain substantial information and parts of the module to
provide effective instruction to the students.
DISCUSSIONS
Modules were developed to promote independent learning, maximize students' effort, and develop self-
reliance. Thus, the researchers recommends more studies on the effectiveness of modular instruction as
related to academic performance and other factors such as gender, age, and economic status of students.
Providing adequate modules focused on other learning competencies in Physical Science is also
recommended.

Experiences and Challenges in Automotive Instruction at Governor

Feliciano Leviste Memorial National High School
Ronald Allan Reyes, Department of Education/GLFMNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teaching and training future skilled workers in the Philippines was entrusted by the Aquino government
to the Department of Education (Department of Education) through the establishment of the K-12
Program before his term ended. Under the program was the ultimate end where students can gain from
the program— Trabaho, Negosyo at Kolehiyo. Through this, the educational system focused on the
development of skills of the learners. Students must be aware of the career that they will pursue.
Teachers and students under Technology and Livelihood Education undergo different assessments
which determine their capability in the field or major courses that they choose.
METHODS
The qualitative method of research was used in the study. As the term implies, its main purpose is to
describe certain phenomena. For this reasons, some authorities in research described it as a fact finding
information gathering method with analytical interpretation. It was designed to collect information
about present and existing conditions. The use of the descriptive method lies on the fact that the study
is essentially a status trend that seeks to describe the experiences and challenges of Automotive
Servicing Instruction at Gov. Feliciano Leviste Memorial National High School.
RESULTS
Findings reveal that experiences in automotive servicing instruction were of great help in developing the
skills of the students. Competencies were tackled by the teacher. Learning resources were sufficient as
stated in the study. Hands-on activities served as assessment tools in measuring learners’ proficiency.
Challenges on the delivery of instruction on Automotive Servicing were also experienced by the teacher.
DISCUSSIONS
From the data obtained, it was recommended that teachers should be given opportunities to attend
seminars, workshops, and trainings related to Automotive Servicing Instruction, new strategies,
techniques and approaches, and instructional materials with features functional in the new curriculum.
Students must be engaged in the different skills enhancement trainings in connection to their major
course. The Proposed Intervention Program was the output of the study which addresses the needs of
the teachers and the students with regard to improving the learning process. The Intervention Program,
when properly implemented, will make every student fully-equipped with automotive skills ready to take
on the challenges on their future careers.

Experiences in Handling Multigrade Classes: Basis for Intervention
Cerilo Jr. Espinosa, Chenie Jay Villauslada, & Leo Lestere Tao-Tao, Department
of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Multigrade classes have been made possible for children in remote communities and rural areas to
exercise their right to education. The purpose of this Phenomenological Hermeneutics Study is to
describe the experiences of teachers in handling multigrade classes and to design interventions to
enhance its implementation.
METHODS
In the process of gathering needed data, the researchers used the immersion experience of being
multigrade teachers of Saliluk L. Macantal Elementary School, Southwest Alabel District. Moreover, to
strengthen its validity, the researchers conducted personal, in-depth interviews to get the necessary
information needed to prevent some biases. After conducting in depth-interview, participants' responses
were transcribed and analyzed.
RESULTS
The data gathered was categorized into four themes: (1) diversity of learners; (2) hindering factors in
teaching; (3) facilitating factors in teaching; and (4) emotion diversity. The multigrade teachers have the
same idea with regard to how multigrade teaching should be done. They perceive that teaching
multigrade classes is a challenging task because of the setting and the tasks to be done and accomplished
during the school year. They cited that multigrade teachers must have patience, love of work and
children, dedication, passion, innovation, and diligence.
DISCUSSIONS
As to the feelings of teachers in handling multigrade classes, diversity of emotions emerged as the only
theme. Most of the participants feel negative when they are about to teach because they really don't
know how to do it. But happiness is felt by some when they see that their pupils are learning and
enjoying the tasks. Teachers should embrace the real situation and be creative and innovative in dealing
with their class. This research is a qualitative study which involved in-depth interview among seven
participants. The result may be subjective because it is within the control of the researcher. Phajane
(2014) also found out that the experiences of multigrade teachers vary from one place to another
because in many developing countries, multigrade schools often lack educational materials, appropriately
trained teachers, and efficient supervision. On the other hand, in some countries, multigrade instruction
is highly-regarded where teachers receive training on how to deal with multigrade class and were given
incentives and support.

Experiences of Grades 7-10 Children of Overseas Filipino Workers of Recto

Memorial National High School in Tiaong, Quezon: Basis for the
Formulation of Program for Children of OFWs
Nadel Barin, Department Of Education/ Recto Memorial National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) are the country's modern heroes because of their contribution to the
Philippine economy. Yet, the effects of overseas employment to their families especially to their
children left at home are manifested in student performances in school, especially to students’ attitudes.
Committed to the Department of Education Vision and Mission and Department of Education
Quezon's advocacy, "Bawat Bata Kinakalinga," this research aims to identify the possible root causes of
its different effects and come up with different ways of promoting effective assistance to the OFW
children to understand and accept the so-called edges of being a child of an OFW.
METHODS
The study used Triangulation in conducting an in-depth descriptive comparative research and
exploration of the experiences of Grades 7-10 children of Overseas Filipino Workers. Four research
instruments were used to interpret data: frequency-percentage distribution, weighted arithmetic mean, t-
tests, and ANOVA. Purposive sampling was employed since the target respondents were children of
OFWs.
RESULTS
The results reveal that most of the Grades 7-10 children of OFW are female. The highest number of
respondents came from Grade 7. Most of the parents working abroad were mothers. The common age
of respondents when their father and/or mother left to work abroad was 6 years old and 2 years old
when both parents left. Parents who were OFWs were working abroad from 1 to 5 years. The common
caregivers of the children of OFWs were mothers. The Grades 7-10 children of Overseas Filipino
Workers have seldom experienced the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of development while
they often experienced the social and spiritual aspects.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the need for a special program for children of OFW with trainings/workshops
for teachers to increase their awareness on the conditions of children of OFWs. Teachers' guidance and
appropriate approaches such as positive atmosphere and special counselling to affected OFW children
are contributing factors to make them understand the real situation. Parents working overseas and the
children caregivers' full awareness of what is going on in their children's lives are expected outcomes of
the program.

Experiences of selected G11 HUMMS students regarding Verbal Emotional

Bullying
Ebigail Joy S. Rubio, GMATHS

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Emotional bullying is a type of bullying wherein the bully tends to offend the other person through
words. One might not realize he or she is an emotional bully. Teasing is part of our childhood but there
are times that it reaches to an extent considered as a form of bullying. Bullying in school is an issue that
continues to receive attention. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the effects of
bullying in the G11 HUMMS students of General Mariano Alvarez Technical High School.
METHODS
The respondents are G11 students who experience bullying. Researchers used homogenous sampling-
purposive sampling. The researchers used a self-made questionnaire checklist for the student's profile.
RESULTS
The effects of emotional bullying include being easily manipulated or controlled by someone, frequent
crying, being aggressive, and depression that can lead to suicide. It can cause trauma and lead to the
point that victims have a hard time communicating with others and choose not to go to school. They
also get low self-esteem.
DISCUSSIONS
The study shows that being suspected victims of emotional bullying is not something to disregard. They
are afraid to talk to other people because they think that they may hurt them. When someone
experiences it, they need to seek help immediately even if they can still handle the stress because when
neglected, it can lead to depression which is hard to handle. It is recommended to have someone to talk
to, use the Compliment Game, and have a stable relationship with God.

Experiences of Senior High School Teachers: Basis for a School

Community Partnership Program for Senior High School Curriculum
Implementation at Amado M. Quirit, Sr. National High School
Cecilia Duero, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Amado M. Quirit National High School recorded an enrollment of 28 students in Senior High School
for School Year 2015-2016. Presently, only 22 students are enrolled in Grade 12. On average, only 60%
are present everyday (SF2). Moreover, the teachers also experience the effects of a lack of facilities and
equipment and other instructional materials. This pushed the researcher to conduct a study on the
experiences of Senior High School teachers at Amado M. Quirit Sr. National High School, to assess the
progress of the program, and plan an enhancement measure to improve its implementation.
METHODS
This study used qualitative method in exploring the experiences of the seven (7) Senior High School
teachers at Amado M. Quirit Sr. National High School. The interview technique used was
predominantly nondirective. Colaizzi (1978) analyzed the data from interview through the identification
of themes.
RESULTS
The struggles and success of teachers in the implementation of Senior High School education in Amado
M. Quirit Sr. National High School were collated to the following common themes: lack of facilities,
lack of tools and equipment, lack of instructional materials, use of technology and collaboration, regular
observation, lack of LGU support, and faltering parent support. In the interview, participants revealed
that school facilities are not enough. There were limited tools and equipment in the agriculture subject
provided according to the agriculturist. The participants revealed that generally, the lack of instructional
materials, teacher guides, learning materials, and references negatively affect them from delivering
sufficient instruction. The lack of instructional materials was addressed by the provision of wide LED
televisions. The principal conducted constant observations, consultation, and monitoring resulting to
better lesson planning as exposed by Filipino teachers. For the local government units, it is found out
that they have less support in which there were unrealized plans due to the poor response of the
municipal and provincial government according to an agriculture teacher. The participants revealed that
parents were not that supportive as they lack information regarding the Senior High School program.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher posited that the school should focus more on the provision of facilities like a laboratory
building, internet access, and instructional materials through the improvement of school-community
partnership. An enhancement program was designed.

Experiences of Teachers on the Use of Learners Information System (LIS)

of Santiago Elementary School: An Assessment.
Jonar Macahiya, Joyet Milan, & Michael Bautista, DCBER
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The continuous increase of student population in public schools requires educational leaders’ quality
educational reforms. But such reforms will never be possible without a reliable and accurate system that
will identify such needs. To address the problem, there must be an innovative tool that the department
could use to manage information so that transparency, empowerment of officials down the line, and
informed decision- making will be attainable. One best remedies to meet such demanding reforms is the
use of technology considering the size of the education department and the number of schools in its
jurisdiction. That makes it very critical for the agency to be equipped with the right information at the
right time to be able to make better decisions.
METHODS
This is a descriptive qualitative research which aims to identify common experiences and problems of
teachers in using the Learners Information System. The respondents of the study are the teachers of
Santiago Elementary School who are identified based on the set criteria. The researchers used surveys to
gather information about the problem along with data gathering tools such as checklist and
questionnaire which were used to attain the objectives of this study.
RESULTS
Given the pre-identified topics, the proposed improvement plans in using LIS were as follows: (1) The
school must first ensure it has a strong internet connection to avoid internet glitches and for teachers to
easily access the LIS; (2) The school must design an in-service training for teachers; (3) Teachers must
be given specific time when they can access the internet; (4) Using the LIS manual is very vital; and (5)
To avoid wrong entry of parents' and pupils' names, records such as authenticated birth certificates and
other school records from students’ previous schools must be utilized and encoded seriously and
accurately.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the need for the school administrators to look into a proposed improvement
plan to provide technical assistance for teachers in using the Learners Information System (LIS) like
proper allocation of funds for a strong internet connection, setting an in-service training program in line
with the use of LIS and ICT, and allowing teachers to have ample time to do the encoding of learners'
information.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This research determines the extent of innovations and experiences of the faculty members in teaching
Social Science Subjects and Arts among Senior High School students under the K to 12 Program as
mandated by Republic Act 10533. The research aims to determine the innovations and effectiveness of
the changing landscape of the Educational system in the Philippines.
METHODS
The study focused on the Positivism Theory. Interview and focused group discussions were used. There
were 65 faculty members and students. The main instrument was questionnaire. The descriptive method
was utilized to analyze the answers of the respondents.
RESULTS
In the teaching-learning process, the faculty members were able to apply the different strategies and
methods in teaching to ensure quality education is given to the learners. Proper classroom management,
appreciation of diversity, motivation of learning by doing, promotion of collaborative learning, and
continuous learning for the development of the potentials of holistically-learned Filipino citizens were
given utmost concern by promoting and instilling the objectives of Social Sciences subjects were
applied. The competencies studied were used to evaluate the students' capacities and performance.
Furthermore, research is applied to enhance the student's learning ability.
DISCUSSIONS
In the implementation of the K to 12 program, the students were able to grasp the competencies
through the use of different strategies such as collaborative methods, Flip-lop learning, learning
management system, and hands-on immersion in the different strand/tracks where the learners belong
and proper motivation and reinforcement were given individually to determine the effectiveness of the
program. Remediation/intervention or one-on-one tutoring were used to enable the students to learn.
Education must be responsive to the needs of the ever-changing society, hence outcomes-based
education is emphasized.

Experiential Approach in Learning Life Cycle of Plants among Grade Three

Pupils in Waldorf School of Batangas
Mia Bernadine Aguilar, Jose C. Pastor Memorial Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
To create globally competitive pupils is the goal of education. Experiential approach is one of the
effective approaches that any school can use. But how effective is this approach? In this study
researcher witnessed the progress of each pupil in different subject matters and lessons especially in
Science. In this study, the preparations phase, where the flow of the lesson is specified like the
motivation, presentation of the lesson, activities, discussions, and application was examined. This
approach can help education in attaining its goal.
METHODS
A descriptive method design was applied, with the lesson plans as the main data gathering instrument.
Using an Experiential Approach, the researcher selected Grade 3 pupils in Waldorf School of Batangas
as respondents. Pupils responded using different set of performances to test their learning in different
lessons in Science. The data gathered were collected through documentary analysis of the Experiential
Approach in learning the life cycle of plants.
RESULTS
Grade 3 pupils performed different activities through (1) distinct feature of experiential approach, (2)
lessons in life cycle of plants in which experiential approach could be applied, (3) performances of the
pupils in each lesson, and (4) designed activities to supplement the use of experiential approach. Grade
3 pupils have a very high level of performance which indicates that majority of the pupils understand
the importance of plants. In this study, the effectiveness of the approach was seen for learning. Pupils
are also motivated when they are provided opportunities for practice and feedback. There are proposed
supplementary activities to enrich the use of the Experiential Approach in teaching Science.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the Experiential Approach in learning different lessons
especially in Science. In experiential learning, the pupils manage their own learning rather than being
told what to do and when to do it. Although it’s time-consuming to see the results of each activity in
every lesson, learning was retained in the memory of the pupils. Experiential Learning teaches pupils the
competencies they need for real-world success.

Explicit Teaching: Its Implications to the Reading Level of Emergent

Readers
Luz Leonila Hostalero
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Grade 1 pupils are considered as early readers who are expected to read a large amount of text with
fluency and less reliance on images. First grade is an important juncture of a child's academic career and
this establishes the foundation necessary for reading development. Simultaneous with this reality, the
researcher is also a beginner in teaching primary grade pupils and a neophyte in handling struggling
readers. This classroom scenario becomes a daily challenge in her teaching profession which made her
contemplate about what intervention she could use to support the needs of these emergent readers.
METHODS
This descriptive research was conducted among 32 Grade 1 pupils (16 boys, 16 girls) from June 2016 to
January 2017 to assess them in terms of their readiness to read. The SREA showed that majority of the
pupils were not ready to read. Furthermore, the Phil-IRI was also used to classify pupils according to
their reading level. Reading level was classified into Frustration, Instructional, Independent, and Non-
reader.
RESULTS
Reading level of pupils was determined by using the Phil-IRI assessment tool. During the pretest which
was conducted in June 2016, there were 5 boys classified under Frustration, 2 boys under Instructional,
and 9 under Non-reader. This data indicates that during the pretest, more than half (9 out of 16) of the
boys could not read.
DISCUSSIONS
Among the girls, it was found that during the pre-test, there were 4 girls under the Frustration level, 5
girls under Instruction level, and 7 girls were Non-readers. Overall, half of the Grade 1 Camia pupils
cannot read while there was a total of 9 pupils under Frustration and 7 pupils classified under
Instructional. From the pretest results, it can be seen that, at the start of the school year, no pupil was
classified under independent. This suggests the need for these pupils support from the teachers in order
to read.

EXPLITEACH: An Instructional Strategy Utilized by Communication

Teachers in Teaching Language in Bucal Elementary School, Taysan
District
Nerissa Bianzon, Marivic Marasigan, & Pia Paula Marquez, Department of

Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
A critical skill in education is the ability to communicate and interpret meaning from what has been
read. An individual reads words or phrases printed in text and apply meaning to it, aiding in
communication and comprehension of the information read. The assimilation of this information leads
to increased knowledge. Pupils with intellectual disabilities often have difficulties in communicating,
which challenges educators. The researchers conducted this study to determine what best strategy
should be utilized in communication to facilitate successful student learning.
METHODS
Six (6) teachers of Bucal Elementary School participated in this research by answering questions on the
questionnaire. The researcher utilized interview and questionnaire in gathering information of the
research. The researcher consolidated the results of the data gathered and planned to conduct
innovations/interventions whatever the results are.
RESULTS
Teachers were interviewed and asked what teaching instruction is best to obtain good learning in
language communication. To get accurate and valid responses, they were asked to answer the
questionnaire about what teaching instruction should be best utilized to obtain better outcomes in
teaching language such as noun, pronoun, verb, and adjectives. Class proficiency level was computed.
Summary information was recorded for the consolidation of results to determine what teaching
instruction is effective.
DISCUSSIONS
In order to determine what teaching instruction is effective for teaching language, the following
questions were addressed: (1) What teaching instruction is commonly used by teachers in teaching
language communication that create best results? (2) What is the importance/effect of explicit teaching
to slow learners? (3) Are pupils able to participate actively in the activities given?

Exploration of Grade 10 English Curriculum towards Enhanced

Communicative Competence of Grade 10 Students of Bolbok Integrated
Ariel Abel, Department of Education - Lipa
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
With today's popularity of various social media sites, many students spend longer periods using these
platforms than their academics. With this predicament, students' communicative competence is at risk.
Due to the alarming gradual decline of Bolbok INHS students’ English proficiency as revealed by the
result of the NCAE for the last 3 years, improving the communicative competence of the students
through varied interventions towards enhancing their communication skills is the main reason for the
conduct of this study.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was used in this study with questionnaire as the main data gathering
instrument aided by unstructured interview. The responses of subjects to the administered questionnaire
were recorded, tallied, analyzed, and interpreted. The frequency distribution table, ranking, weighted
mean, t-test, and Analysis of Variance were the statistical tools used in the analysis of data.
RESULTS
English teachers perceive that students have satisfactory communication skills when it comes to
decoding the meaning of words, in getting the main idea, in using the correct forms of words, and in
distinguishing between facts and opinions. The communication skills perceived by the students with
high importance are about getting the main idea, using vocabulary appropriately, listening to music,
speaking with family members, reading books, and writing messages. In addition, highly significant
differences were noted among the perceptions of the students on the communication skills needed in
relation to their academic studies, whereas, no significant differences were noted on the comparison of
the students' perception with regards to the extent of their communication skills needed in relation to
their future professions. Finally, there is a highly significant difference on the perception of the teachers
on the importance of communication skills compared to that of the students in the areas of speaking,
reading, writing, and listening.
DISCUSSIONS
The results suggest that English teachers should focus on enhancing students' communication skills
through varied interventions, conduct comprehensive and well-designed steps in teaching English, make
continuous assessment of students' communication skills with emphasis on speaking enhancement and
written output, provide thorough discussion and give more exercises to address the deteriorating ability
of students to communicate and comprehend while at school and in their preparation for their future
profession.

Exploring Parent-Teacher Collaboration to Improve Students' Vocabulary

Skills: An Action Research
Darren Rey C. Javier & Ramier P. Jubay JR., Baras-Pinugay Integrated High
School - Senior High
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This action research was conducted not only to help students enhance their vocabulary skills through
parent-teacher collaboration but also to help them realize that collaborating with each other is a vital
aspect of language learning that they overlooked. While most studies focus on effective strategies to
develop the vocabulary skills of the students, few studies explore parent-teacher collaboration towards
the development of the learners' vocabulary skills. It is for this reason that the teacher-researchers
attempted to find out the effectiveness of parent and teacher involvement in the teaching and learning
process.
METHODS
The researchers used Quasi-Experimental Research in which pre and posttests were conducted to find
out the significant difference in the learners' performance in vocabulary before and after exposure to
parent-teacher collaboration. A training matrix was developed by the researchers to be used for the
whole 1-month experimental period. The researchers employed vocabulary exercises during the
experiment. In addition, during the 1-month experimental study, their parents helped the students
accomplish the vocabulary tasks whenever the learners had difficulty answering the tasks. The data
gathered were statistically analyzed using SPSS.
RESULTS
The results of the study were presented and discussed with reference to the aim of the study. Based on
the computed mean of the pretest and posttest, it was found out that there is an increase in the students'
level of performance in vocabulary. Moreover, the results accepted the hypothesis that there is a
significant difference before and after exposure to parent-teacher collaboration. Lastly, intensified
consultative dialogues and home visitations are proposed to further sustain the enhanced students'
vocabulary skills.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings show that parent-teacher collaboration is an effective strategy to help improve students'
vocabulary skills. Additionally, children whose parents are eager to help them will have a greater chance
to learn a lot from school. Likewise, if parents and teachers have a consistent and open communication,
they would be able to determine which areas of language learning the students need to concentrate on.
Lastly, the outcomes that emerged from the study will also provide basis for planning effective reading
intervention programs that involve stakeholders like parents. Indeed, the outcome of this action
research can also be used as basis for future research.

Exploring the Challenges in the Availability and Utilization of the School

Library Media Center of Imus Pilot Elementary School: Basis for
Improvement
Miguela Legaspi, Department of Education - Imus
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Education Order No. 6, series 1998 specifies that a school library is very important
in the attainment of the objectives of education. Its function is to make instructional materials available
and provide basic services accessible to teachers and learners in order to develop positive reading/study
habits and develop the ability to use those materials efficiently and effectively as tools for learning. In
this light, Imus Pilot Elementary School complied with DO No. 6, s. 1998 through the conception of
the School Library Media Center. It earned awards and recognition for being one of the Most
Functional School Libraries in the Division of Cavite. As the years went by, the number of holdings of
collection of the School Library Media Center and its other resources stagnate. Pupils no longer visit the
SLMC and its main function is just to become venue for some academic gatherings. The existing facility
has failed to deliver its basic school library services to its clientele.
METHODS
A mixed method of qualitative-quantitative approach was utilized. The data was gathered through
analysis of the existing document-list of library collection and holdings and survey checklist done by the
users. The respondents were 80 pupils and 34 teachers from Grades 3-4 and selected randomly to
answer the checklist.
RESULTS
Based on the findings, 100% of the teachers use the SLMC only for monthly meeting whereas, 92.7% of
the pupils totally do not have time to use it. It is recommended that the SLMC needs to be
run/managed by a full time librarian to accommodate library users for 8-hours a day. Teacher-advisers
should strictly observe/follow the library period to allow the pupils to use the School Library Media
Center. Replacement of outdated library holdings and collection and installation of internet services for
easy access to K to 12 teaching and learning materials should be done.
DISCUSSIONS
It is a sad reality that a school library which was hailed as one of the Most Functional School Libraries in
the Division of Cavite is no longer functioning. Aiming to cater to the needs of the 21st Century
learners, the collection should be updated and should provide good and updated source of information
managed by a full-time librarian. It is expected that once the problem has been identified, ultimate
solutions must follow.

Exploring the Effect of Using Models via Learning Stations on Students'

Engagement and Achievement in Circulatory System
Ilyne Matutina & Gladys Macalinao, Rosauro Almario Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Through the years, the importance of Science increased noticeably. It is often perceived to be of great
importance because of its links to technology and industry which may be areas with high priority for
development. However, students usually find Science, as a subject, to be abstract and contained in a
complex language. A way to solve this dilemma facing Science education is to make it more authentic.
This study explored the effect of using models via learning stations on students' engagement and
achievement in Circulatory System.
METHODS
A Grade 9 class, composed of 44 students in Carmona National High School in Carmona, Cavite,
participated in the study. A pretest was given to gauge their prior knowledge about the topic. Different
models were utilized in each learning station during the execution of the lesson. A posttest was also
administered after the classroom instruction to assess their achievement. The achievement of the
students was analyzed by comparing the results of pretest and posttest mean scores via t-test. On the
other hand, students' engagement was measured by interpreting the results of the Likert-type scale and
reflective journal.
RESULTS
The pretest had a mean score of 11.93 while the posttest had a mean score of 15.41 having a t-value of
8.33 which is significant at p<0.001. In terms of engagement, students were found to enjoy working in
stations, understood the lesson more easily and thought that they contributed to lessons through
working hard and active participation, and indicated that this method would help lessons to be retained
more in their minds. These findings were supported by the positive feedbacks from the students.
DISCUSSIONS
The analysis of data using t-test for dependent means indicated that there was an improvement in the
achievement of the students after the implementation of the strategy. In terms of students' engagement,
students enjoyed working in stations because they can visualize and manipulate the models. The use of
models via learning stations positively impacts students' engagement and achievement. Hence, the
continuous use of this method is recommended as it promotes active learning among the students.

Exploring the Effects of Homoho on Students' Conception, Attitude, and

Views on Types of Mixture
Chatlyn Dela Cruz, Antonio B. Del Rosario Sr. Memorial Elementary School
(Adviser: Chatlyn Dela Cruz)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Learning conception is a process wherein the learners remember important terms in the discussion,
understand it, as well as apply it in everyday life. It is similar to functional understanding. The learners
do not just know the concept but they are able to apply it in any situation as it is necessary. This study
intends to explore the effect of HOMOHO (Hands-on, Minds-on, and Hearts-on) on the learning
conception of the students on a specific topic on types of mixtures. Further, the researcher wants to
delve on the learners' views about the approach.
METHODS
To determine the students' conception a pretest and posttest consisting of Visual Concept Questions
and Multiple Choice. Two-tier Questions were utilized. A rubric made by the researcher which was also
validated was utilized to assess the attitude of the pupils during and after performing the activity. A
reflective questionnaire with open-ended questions was used to get the learners' view.
RESULTS
The use of HOMOHO in teaching the types of mixtures in Grade 4 students was proven effective. It
was reflected on their pretest and posttest scores. There is a significant difference between the mean
score of the pretest and posttest of the pupils before and after exposure to the strategy of HOMOHO
in learning the concepts on types of mixtures. Students' views and attitudes were also measured using a
survey questionnaire and the results show that students enjoyed the topic using the approach. Based
from the observation and with the help of the rubric made by the researcher, the pupils have shown
positive attitudes in performing the activity on types of mixtures. The four groups got scores ranging
from 62-70 out of 80. Also, based from the students' response on the reflective survey with open-ended
questions, it shows that they really enjoyed the discussion.
DISCUSSIONS
It was shown that the use of HOMOHO is very helpful for the students to understand and comprehend
the learning competency on the types of mixture. It is shown on the results of the pretest and posttest
scores. There is a significant effect on the students' conception with regards to the topic. The findings
of the study showed that there is no such difficulty in learning and comprehending Earth Science.
Learning can be fun if appropriate strategy is used to teach the learning competencies. It is therefore
concluded that using HOMOHO in teaching the subject helps improve the learning conception of the
students.

Exploring the Lived Experiences of Inclusive Learners with Special

Educational Needs (LSEN) in Surigao City National High School
Jimieca R. Garcia
(Adviser: Ronald Allan Arcayera)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Special education is the practice of educating students with special educational needs in a way that
addresses their individual differences and needs. Ideally, this process involves the individual planes and
systematically-monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, and
accessible settings. These interventions are designed to help learners with special needs achieve a higher
level of personal self- sufficiency and success in school and their community than what may be available
if the student were only given access to a typical classroom education. Schools where these children
study should be given special attention and care with the help of teachers and stakeholders. In Surigao
City National High School, these LSENs or Learners with Special Educational Needs continue to
increase in number from 10 to 17 composing hearing impaired, autistic, intellectual disability, and late
development.
METHODS
For this qualitative study, an interview guide was utilized as part of the data collection procedure. This
research study followed the phenomenological design which simply asked the LSENs about their
experiences with the help of a SPED Focal Person. The questionnaire used contained primary and
follow-up questions which asked their experiences as LSENs. The data analysis was done through
summarizing the data collected during the research. The answers of the LSEN were recorded, analyzed,
and summarized through recursive abstraction.
RESULTS
The results of the analysis of the interview data are presented in this chapter. The themes identified in
the data include: (a) being inclusive, (b) using sign language, and (c) social communication.
DISCUSSIONS
This study was an exploration of the lives of mainstreamed Learners with Special Educational Needs
(LSENs), their way of communicating with people inside/outside the school's premises, their feelings in
participating in various school activities and events, and how everyone can communicate with them
effectively. There were participants who experienced social isolation which was far from the aim of
inclusive education that is to make learners with special needs "included," both physically and socially in
a general academic class. Participants said that they found it hard to communicate since not all
people/teachers understand sign language. This study concluded that there should be an additional
teacher for the LSENs aside from the regular teacher/adviser.

Exploring the Material-to-Abstract Transition in Mathematical Thinking to

Increase the Performance in Math for Selected Fifth Grader Pupils
Myra Paz Sayan, Glorie Salie Medario, & Monalyn Pinulan

(Adviser: N/A)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The acquisition of mathematical thinking has its foundations in mastering real world concepts in early
childhood. A lack of mastery with objects in the environment through the use of manipulatives can
hinder the abstract thinking necessary for higher level concepts. Students need hands-on ways to
interact with Math. Building on the learning theory of Piaget and Bruner, children can remember, for
short periods of time, information taught through books and lectures, deep understanding, and that the
ability to apply learning to new situations requires conceptual understanding grounded in direct
experience with concrete objects. This study is made to offer students a real, hands-on way to explore a
mathematical concept and build their own meaning. Experiences with hands-on learning can provide
students with powerful learning in Mathematics.
METHODS
A Quasi-Experimental method was used in this study. Through the use of the Montessori approach in
teaching Mathematics, the researchers used manipulative tools/objects to increase learning
performance. A pretest posttest design was used to the target population of the Grade 5 pupils of
Aguado Elementary School Annex. The pupils were given a standardized pretest using traditional
teaching methods. After the test, the researchers collected data to determine the pupils who will need
remediation using manipulative tools in Math. After using the tools, the researchers gave a standardized
posttest to determine the effectiveness of using the manipulative materials to those who underwent
remediation class
RESULTS
Almost all the pupils who underwent the remediation using manipulative materials increased their
performance in Mathematics. It is based on the result of the mean and SD of the LOA. The finding of a
significant difference between the pretest and posttest favors those exposed to the manipulative
materials/tools. In the pretest, 16 pupils were on the poor performance level. After exposing them to
the manipulative materials used in their remediation class, their performance in the posttest had
increased. The LOA in Math for the Third Quarter also increased. It is evident in the Mean and SD.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of the study uphold the assertion that manipulative materials/tools offer important
opportunities for students to link hands-on experience to understanding of Mathematical concepts. The
hands-on activities might as well have encouraged and enabled all learners with different characteristics
and abilities to benefit greatly from a variety of learning experiences provided by the approach. The
researcher encouraged the teachers to develop and utilize manipulative materials in teaching especially in
the subject of Mathematics. The involvement of the pupils and their ability to make discoveries will help
them to improve and gain life-long learning. As Confucius said, "I hear and I forget. I see and I
remember. I do and I understand."

Exploring the Reading Level of Alupay Elementary School Learners: Basis

for Reading Enhancement Program
Riza De Jesus
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading, as a cognitive process, is an astoundingly complex and multi-faceted activity. However, it is
also common knowledge that many learners struggle to learn reading. Annually, the teachers of Alupay
Elementary School face similar challenges in teaching reading to their learners. This study focused on
the cognitive factors that affect the reading ability of learners in English. Specifically, this study focused
on the five elements of the reading process which include Phonics, Phonemic Awareness, Vocabulary,
Comprehension, and Fluency. Embarking in this type of study, the researchers are hopeful to give light
to the reading problems encountered by both learners and teachers.
METHODS
The researches employed the descriptive method in completing this research paper. All learners were
given the reading assessment test to identify their learning ability. The reading ability test is composed of
five sections which include items that would test the ability of learners in Phonics, Phonemic
Awareness, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Reading Comprehension
RESULTS
Results reveal that Grade 1 learners got the highest frequency of learners with 5 or more mistakes in
Phonics with a frequency of 10. None of the learners from Grade 4, 5, and 6 got 5 mistakes or more in
Phonics. Result in Phonemic Awareness show that 12 Grade 1 learners got 5 or more mistakes while
there were also learners in the higher years that got more than 5 mistakes. In terms of Vocabulary,
learners from all year levels showed weakness in vocabulary skills. In terms of Fluency, the learners are
given oral test flashed on a screen. Fifteen (15) Grade 1 learners and an average of 12 learners from each
year got 5 mistakes or more. Reading Comprehension is also one of the manifested problems in reading
in all year levels.
DISCUSSIONS
Results revealed that learners are struggling even at the lowest level which is Phonics and Phonemic
Awareness. If these two elements are already difficult for the learners, the rest of the elements will be
more difficult. Learners also have limited ability in other elements such as Vocabulary, Fluency, and
Comprehension. Activities such as creating a Strategic Intervention Material, improving library facilities,
conducting a book drive, holding reading competitions, introducing the use of e-books to learners,
conducting a quarterly assessment of reading, and partnering the parents in developing the reading
ability of learners are suggested for reading program enhancement.

Exploring the Technology-Driven Counseling Services for Public Senior

High School
Leonisa Mercado, Taysan Senior High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Face-to-face counseling is observed as a dominant technique utilized in most schools. Most of the
guidance services cannot be accomplished effectively due to several factors such as ratio between
counselor and students, time allotment, and lack of designated rooms conducive for counseling services.
Students nowadays are uncomfortable attending face-to-face support groups. These identified factors
drove the researcher to integrate technology into counseling but not to the extent that it will aim to
replace the traditional way of counseling. Instead, students can use online counseling instead of or in
addition to face-to-face meetings. This study explores the technology-driven counseling services for
public Senior High School in Taysan, Batangas. This study has the following objectives: (1) extent of
counseling needs, (2) issues and challenges of respondents on online counseling in terms of internet
connection, confidentiality, and relationship with counselor and expected outcome, (3) level of
effectiveness of online counseling, and (4) proposed customized and upgraded counseling approaches.
METHODS
The Descriptive Survey Method of research was used in this study. One hundred (100) volunteer-
respondents were gathered because counseling is not enforced but should be willingly done by the
counselees. Due to inevitable circumstances, only 18 students from Grade 11 and 21 students from
Grade 12 underwent online counseling. Survey questionnaires and online counseling websites were
developed. Gathered data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation.
RESULTS
The study showed results of "great extent" to counseling needs in terms of career, personal-social,
character formation, mental health needs, and program management and systems supports. Interview
results showed that internet connection is the major issue. They have no issues on the confidentiality
aspect of online counseling. Majority of the respondents showed positive feedbacks regarding their
relationship with the counselor. Few respondents preferred face-to-face counseling. A customized and
upgraded online counseling service is presented and may be utilized as an alternative counseling service.
DISCUSSIONS
It is concluded that the need for a holistic counseling is high and should be addressed by the school
especially the guidance and counseling center. The study also revealed that online counseling is highly
effective. It is assumed that online and technology-driven counseling medium can be used as an
alternative counseling service to the students.

Extended Working Hours: Effect on Teachers' Performance
Don Carlo Gollena, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The role of teachers in molding youth and contributing to national development cannot be undermined.
Aside from imparting knowledge, instilling and strengthening values, and teaching skills to the people,
teachers are tasked with preparing the youth to become responsible members of society. In this field,
one can be worn out easily due to multiple tasks and long working hours. At present, overwork is one of
the concerns of teachers in the field. This study determines the effect of extended working hours to the
performance of teachers of public secondary schools at Padre Garcia District.
METHODS
The study used the descriptive method of research. This inquiry applied the descriptive measure to
answer questions concerned with the present status of the research subject. Descriptive research
methods are pretty much as they sound. They describe situations. They do not make accurate
predictions and they do not determine cause and effect. This study utilized the survey and document
analysis methods. In the survey method of research, participants answer questions administered through
interviews or questionnaires. After participants answer the questions, researchers describe the responses
given. This study applied the descriptive analytical design to determine the effect of extended working
hours to the performance of teachers of public secondary schools at Padre Garcia District.
RESULTS
Overall, there is a positive attitude towards extended working hours based on the overall weighted mean
of 2.55. However, the teachers disagree that working on extended working hours brings joy to them nor
attending trainings and seminars during holidays or vacation, or on weekends. Teachers disagree that
working on extended working hours gives extra compensation.
DISCUSSIONS
The result demonstrates the need to formulate a plan of action to lessen the work load of teachers. In
managing and advising a class, a special teacher can be assigned to assist the adviser. Giving teachers
time and opportunity to grow as professionals may also be considered. Teamwork was also viewed as an
important part of having a good working environment. It is also important to address the needs of
teachers in technology as aid in teaching their lessons.

Extensive Reading as Motivation to Enjoy Reading among Grade 4 Pupils

in Ticalan Elementary School
Lady Angelica B. Moyano & Ma. Lourdes C. Bacarro, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading books and stories is central to human development. But nowadays, the steady decline in
children's motivation to read is a serious phenomenon. An initiated and planned action wasn't necessary
in the past in order to make the book "A Child's Best Friend.” In the program, the researchers
witnessed pupils’ attitudes towards extensive reading activities. In this study, the researchers suggest
some extensive reading activities that will help the pupils be motivated to enjoy reading.
METHODS
The process includes the use of self-structured questionnaires to show the result of the study regarding
extensive reading activities as motivation to enjoy reading among Grade 4 pupils in Ticalan Elementary
School. The study is limited to the fifteen (15) males and nineteen (19) females of Grade 4 pupils for the
School Year 2018-2019. The research is limited to Grade 4 pupils to only test if extensive reading
activities can be used as motivation to enjoy reading. If it is proven to be effective, then extensive
reading activities will be practiced in all grade levels.
RESULTS
Results show that pupils' attitudes on extensive reading activities helped them learn to organize time for
reading better and know that reading English literature is definitely a good way to improve reading skills.
It had the highest weighted mean. Different extensive reading activities in class wherein silent reading
during break time received the highest weighted mean. Extensive reading activities motivate the pupils
to enjoy reading because it makes them gain positive attitudes towards reading. The respondents
strongly agreed that extensive reading activities help them be motivated and enjoy reading.
DISCUSSIONS
Pupils' attitudes towards extensive reading probably helps them develop reading comprehension.
Teachers should focus more on improving the pupils' interest in reading through the use of extensive
reading and encourage them to read more. Teachers will be guided to employ the use of extensive
reading activities inside the classroom. The school administrators should direct further improvement of
school activities with regards to the extensive reading activities.

Extensive Reading: An Approach to Reading Comprehension of Grade Five

Pupils
Rhodora Reyes, Department of Education - San Pablo
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Extensive reading, free reading, and book flood or reading for pleasure is a way of language learning,
including foreign language learning, through large amounts of reading as well as facilitating acquisition
and learning of vocabulary. It is believed to increase motivation through positive, affective benefits.
Technology has also begun to change the role of teachers and learners. This research was conducted to
find the levels of interest of the pupils in extensive reading despite innovations in modern technology.
As children get older, rate of vocabulary growth increases. The author will determine their
understanding of the Grade 5 pupils’ vocabulary in the text they read. Further, the researcher will
attempt to find improvements, if any, on their present reading comprehension.
METHODS
The researchers used descriptive method in the research. The statistical tools used were the mean,
frequency, and percentage.
RESULTS
The results of the study show that pupils' activities in extensive reading had an impact in their academic
performance. During the pre-assessment, 40% of the learners play with gadgets in their home after
school, 18.5% help their parents, 28.8% play outside, and only 14.8% make assignments and read. After
the conduct of extensive reading programs, this improved to 67% including doing assignment. Only
11% still play with gadgets, 15% help their parents, and 7% play outside.
DISCUSSIONS
Knowing students’ reading interest will help teachers to connect them with books and other reading
materials they'll enjoy. When teachers and the library share this information, classroom library
connection collection can be developed to suit student's needs, abilities, and interest. There are many
benefits of extensive reading in language learning. These include gains in reading and writing
competence, oral, and actual skills, vocabulary growth, and increase in motivation, self-esteem, and
empathy. Students who read extensively also become more autonomous learners. Students who read
extensively also make gains in writing proficiency. This is because, as students encounter more language
more frequently, through extensive reading, their language acquisition mechanism is primed to produce
it in writing.

Extent of Administrative Support to the Beginning Teachers in their

Professional Development in Selected Public Elementary Schools in the
Division of San Pablo City
Mitzhe Gae Mamino, Department of Education - San Pablo
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The first year of teaching has been described as a time of survival for the beginning teacher— one of
the most difficult and critical periods in a teacher's career. It is during this transition that teachers begin
to develop the skills and habits that form their foundation for future teaching success. Many beginning
teachers get discouraged and abandon their teaching careers during this time. Thus, the appropriate
solution to the problem of retention of academically able teachers is the improvement of school
conditions and the provisions of support for beginning teachers. This study aims to determine the
extent of administrative support to the beginning teachers in their professional development.
METHODS
The descriptive method was used in the study. This study was concerned on the following aspects: (1)
administrative support as perceived by the teacher, (2) professional development given to beginning
teachers, and (3) relationship of administrative support to the professional development of beginning
teachers. The respondents were the 110 teachers and 20 principals in the Division of San Pablo City. A
validated, self-made questionnaire was used for respondents' perceptions. The mean and standard
deviation were used for the perception on each variable. Spearman rho Correlation and t-test to
determine the significant relationship and significant difference among the variables.
RESULTS
There's no significant difference between the perceptions of the two groups of respondents to
administrative support. Both the principals and teacher-respondents agreed that factors in administrative
support such as policy and regulation, resource allocation, moral and emotional support, and
supervision and feedback have great effects to the perceived professional development of beginning
teachers. In terms of professional development of beginning teachers, all related factors such as post
graduate studies, membership in professional organization, job role/rotation, expertise rendered,
research, job satisfaction, performance in teaching, and linkages are all significant to administrative
support.
DISCUSSIONS
Having a supportive principal can make all the difference for a beginning teacher. Administrators must
offer advice, direction, or assistance to teachers to become more effective and ready to meet the high
level of expectation for the profession. High-performing schools have administrators who articulate a
vision, help teachers grow professionally, and play a leading role in determining the school's climate.

Extent of Compliance to Classroom Management of Grade 9 Students in

Anselmo A. Sandoval Memorial National High School
Zoila Escalona, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
With the advent of technology and the universal acceptance of diversity in the classroom in the 21st
Century, the paradigm of classroom management of the past shifted from a one-way flow of interaction
to an environment of shared responsibility and learning. From blind obedience and compliance,
management has shifted to procedures which advance self-discipline with an objective of producing
students who are highly innovative, creative, effective communicators, and self-directed. The
contemporary concept of classroom management emphasizes on the concerted efforts of both the
teacher and students to create an effective learning environment. More than anything else, the concept is
moving beyond external control of reward and punishment to shared responsibility .
Time management, management of discipline, management of physical environment, and extent of
classroom routine are all factors that contribute to effective classroom management. More than anything
else, the concept is moving beyond external control of reward and punishment to shared responsibility.
Management of time, management of discipline, management of physical environment and extent of
classroom routine are all factors that contribute to effective classroom management.
METHODS
The study used the descriptive research design which made use of the questionnaire in securing
information of data relevant to the study. The questionnaire was distributed, collected, tallied, and
interpreted to come up with the desired output. It involves 45 students in Grade 9 at Anselmo A.
Sandoval Memorial National High School.
RESULTS
With the acquired information, the findings were drawn. Students were more equipped in complying
with time management while compliance with management of discipline needs more improvement
because students do not know why they are called upon to conform to certain rules and regulations and
that when classroom rules and regulations are not properly observed and followed, the tendency is that
the student develops undesirable habits and attitudes. Compliance with management of physical
environment is commendable because teachers have imposed classroom discipline. There was clear
manifestation that the respondents have displayed enthusiasm but they should learn to let other class
members be equally involved.
DISCUSSIONS
Students must work for smooth transitions. They must remain involved in the class throughout the
period. Discipline is the student's responsibility and they should participate in formulating rules for their
own behavior and they are expected to conform to them. A positive learning environment adds to the
educational experience of the students. It is essential for the student to learn safely both mentally and
physically. Well-defined routines and procedures help students master the steps necessary to accomplish
daily tasks.

Nancy Quijano
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study focuses on the assessment of the implementation of drug awareness campaigns in 20 public
elementary schools in San Juan District and on the level of awareness of teachers to drug addiction, its
effects, and legal bases. It also aims to determine the significant relationship between the extent of the
implementation of drug awareness campaigns and the level of awareness of the respondents to the
mentioned variables.
METHODS
The descriptive-survey design in gathering data with a questionnaire served as the primary tool in this
study. The descriptive method was utilized in this study since it involved collecting and interpreting data
in order to gather information needed to serve its purpose. Quantitative studies have results that are
based on numeric analysis and statistics.
RESULTS
The public elementary schools were frequently implementing drug awareness campaigns by conducting
contests on writing essays, songs, and poems about drug awareness. The respondents were extremely
aware of the effects of drug abuse and addiction. However, they were moderately aware about the legal
bases of the implementation of different drug awareness campaigns. There was a significant relationship
between the extent of the implementation of drug awareness campaigns and the level of awareness of
the respondents to the mentioned variables. The suggested school-based drug awareness projects are the
Project IADE and the Strengthening the Drug Awareness Campaign initiatives in 20 Public Elementary
Schools in San Juan District.
DISCUSSIONS
Public elementary schools in San Juan District should strengthen the conduct of activities that would
promote drug awareness among students. The school shall have linkages with different concerned
agencies to enhance awareness on drug abuse and addiction of its clientele. Further researches may be
conducted to identify other problems and to appraise the implementation of drug awareness-related
activities. The suggested school-based drug awareness projects should be given consideration by the
school administrators, teachers, parents, and others stakeholders in devising other pertinent activities.

Students Achievement of Elementary Grade Pupils in Emmanuel ES S.Y.
2017-2018
Maria Cristina Ramos, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Collaborative learning is very important in achieving critical thinking. This study deals with the extent of
effectiveness of collaborative learning in developing skills and student achievement of elementary grade
pupils in Emmanuel Elementary School S.Y. 2017- 2018. The main concern of this study focuses on the
perception of students with regards to the effectiveness of collaborative learning techniques in
developing skills and its impact on their grades as shown in their report card.
METHODS
This study used the descriptive method of educational research utilizing the aptitude of the respondents
based on pupil's report card and survey questionnaire. No sampling technique was employed, total
enumeration of respondents was used. This method was designed to establish the significance of the
collaborative learning techniques and achievement of grade school pupils in Emmanuel Elementary
School.
RESULTS
Students’ report cards revealed a high passing percentage which is verbally interpreted as "Always.” T-
collaborative learning technique was highly effective in achieving learners' high passing rate. Techniques
such as Think-Pair-Share, brainstorming, jigsaw puzzle, and peer tutoring were highly effective in
developing skills and student achievement. The student-respondent perceived the effectiveness of
collaborative learning techniques in developing belongingness, social skills or socialization, learning
styles, and sense of responsibility as "Always.” The results showed that the student-respondents
developed belongingness, social skills or socialization, learning style, and sense of responsibility through
the use of different collaborative learning techniques. This implies that using or applying collaborative
learning techniques and skills development is an effective strategy to help develop the totality or
holistically of some students.
DISCUSSIONS
Results revealed that collaborative learning not only enhanced the teaching and learning process but also
made students happy. Through collaborative learning lessons or sessions, students not only worked on
academic and extra-curricular activities but also developed their social skills and learned together with
peers which improved their relationships with others in school or class.

Extent of Effectiveness of Employing Differentiated Instruction in

Teaching Araling Panlipunan in Area 3 Division of Batangas: Basis for a
Proposed Action Plan
Raquel Mendoza
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The attainment of goals of Araling Panlipunan depends to a great extent on the teacher's competencies
in teaching the subject. It is therefore a challenging responsibility which necessitates the teacher's
selection and application of the most effective teaching strategies that suit the needs, interests, and
capabilities of different groups of students. It is in the foregoing connection that demands a need to test
the effectiveness of teaching strategies.
METHODS
Since the extent and effectiveness of the said strategy will be correlated with students' academic
performance, it is appropriate to use a combination of the descriptive and correlation methods of
research. It focuses on the prevailing situations about the use of differentiated instruction.
RESULTS
The use of differentiated instruction should be continuous and consistent as it is instrumental in the
students' development of varied skills and competencies, they need in the study of other Social Sciences
subjects in higher grade levels. Second, skills and competencies the students gained from the use of
differentiated instruction will be of great value in their development as citizens. Third, differentiated
instruction can also be applied in teaching other subject areas. Fourth, teachers should be more
knowledgeable and competent in the use of differentiated instruction so that when the need for further
innovations arise, their readiness could be made more permanent. Fifth, schools need to conduct a
school-based seminar workshop for teachers on the use of differentiated instruction to ensure that every
teacher would be more acquainted and competent in the use of such type of instruction. Sixth, the
effectiveness of the utilization of differentiated instruction must be tested in other grade levels where it
is deemed applicable. Finally, there must be standards and guidelines in the use of differentiated
instruction not only in the schools covered by this study but in other schools as well.
DISCUSSIONS
Students may be encouraged even more to participate in all other classroom activities for their further
development of varied competencies. Teachers may not only live up to the practices they currently
employ in utilizing differentiated instruction but may also try alternative but innovative ways to improve
and enhance said practices further. The studies to be conducted must be aimed to further improve the
teachers' utilization of differentiated instruction in the teaching-learning process.

Extent of Implementation and the Level of Participation in the Income-

Generating Projects of Special Education Students as Perceived by the
Teachers and the Parents: Basis for Monitoring and Evaluation
Aurea Florida
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Equal opportunity is the bedrock of the growth of special education. It advocates access to education
and helps students lead successful and personally fulfilling lives now and in the future. The curriculum
was designed to prepare students to function as independently as possible in an integrated society. This
curriculum includes the development of skills in participating in an income-generating activity. This
study looked into the extent of implementation of the project and level of participation of the parents
and the students in the project with the end goal of assessing the project and to ascertain future
directions.
METHODS
The study utilized the descriptive method of research through the survey technique. The respondents of
the study were teachers and parents of SPED Transition class in San Juan East Central School.
Purposive sampling was used to identify the population. The major instrument which was the
questionnaire was designed to survey the profile and perceptions with regard to the extent of
implementation and level of participation in the income-generating project. Weighted mean was
computed to characterize the number of responses and its position within the distribution of data
collected and discussed.
RESULTS
Most of the respondents agree that the making of business plans, promotion, marketing, selling, and
financial monitoring and assessment of business plans are highly implemented. The students were
perceived to be dependent on their parents and teachers in the formation of self-help groups.
Strengthening of the self-help groups and the assessment of the business plans rely heavily on the
teachers. The actual selling and buying of products are a collaborative task of the parents, students, and
teachers. The respondent groups were perceived to be highly engaged in varying levels of financial
monitoring. Aimed at ensuring sustainable success and attainment of the goals of the income generating
projects of the SPED, a monitoring and evaluation plan was drafted.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings, the following recommendations are put forward: the administration of the
participating school must consider the issues and gaps identified by the study for its policy-making and
goal setting. The administration must consider the adoption of the monitoring and evaluation plan to
ensure maximum gains from the income generating project for all stakeholders. Future researchers must
look into other aspects of the project like impact assessment and effects on achievement and behavior
of the students.

Extent of Implementation of Brigada Eskwela: Basis for an Action Plan
Fariza Ani, Banaybanay Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Lack of support and cooperation of the parents and other stakeholders are the common problems faced
by public schools during every opening of the school year. Thus, the Brigada Eskwela (BE) program or
National Maintenance Week was initiated in May 2003. Recognizing this as the best manifestation of
school and community relationship, the problem lies on how the administrators utilize effective
procedures to help the public understand what the schools are trying to do to attract the support of the
community, efforts to provide quality education, and how to make the schools be equally concerned
with the needs and problems of the community. The study aims to determine the extent of
implementation of the Brigada Eskwela (BE) Program of the Department of Education among the
public elementary schools in the Padre Garcia District, Division of Batangas Province.
METHODS
The study used the Non-experimental Quantitative Research Design utilizing the descriptive-survey
method with statistics such as mean and t-test. The data was gathered through a researcher-constructed
questionnaire which was administered to 34 respondents from 17 public elementary schools. The data
gathered from the survey was analyzed and computed and then the result was interpreted.
RESULTS
It was established that the Brigada Eskwela Program was highly-implemented in the light of the findings
of Pre-Implementation Stage, Implementation Stage, and Post-Implementation Stage. Results confirm
the null hypothesis of significant difference in the level of implementation of the Brigada Eskwela
Program when analyzed by school size. In the light of the findings of the study, it was found that small
schools need assistance from the big schools for them to implement it the way the big schools
implement them. An action plan was proposed for the enhancement of the practices to further
strengthen school-community partnership especially in the small schools through the Brigada Eskwela
Program.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate that Brigada Eskwela is a program that needs to be implemented well. The
implementation of the plan for Brigada Eskwela must be based on the size of the school. After the
survey, 53% were identified as small school and 47% were identified as big schools. Further innovation
about the plan for Brigada Eskwela is highly recommended to attain the 100% development of the
school. For the program to become successful, an active participation of the parents and the barangay
officials should be observed and monitored.

Basis for an Action Plan
Charlotte Ann Logdat, Department Of Education- Lipa City, Lipa City National
High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Classroom instruction alone is not enough to prepare the pupils for the necessities of life. Equally
important are the different school programs and activities aimed to complement classroom instruction
in the attainment of the primary goal of education— the total development of the pupil. Hence, schools
implement different programs and activities designed to sustain the cited goal. The main objective of the
study is to determine the extent of implementation of Gulayan sa Paaralan and the level of participation
in the School-Based Feeding Program of the Department of Education in Lipa City National High
School.
METHODS
The study used the descriptive method of research through survey technique. The respondents of the
study are TLE teachers and 10% of the total student population for each Grade level in Lipa City
National High School. Independent t-test and Pearson R were used as instruments for the study.
RESULTS
Findings showed that the teachers rated implementation of Gulayan sa Paaralan with a Very Limited
Extent with a weighted mean of 1.41. Students’ assessment also rated it as “Limited Extent” with a
weighted average of 2.48. The assessment is significantly different as the students’ assessment of the
implementation of this Department of Education program is significantly higher than the assessment of
the teachers. On the level of participation in the School-Based Feeding Program, teachers rated it as
“Limited Extent” with a weighted mean of 2.52 while students’ perception got a weighted mean of 2.99
and interpreted as “Great Extent.” The perceptions given by the respondents are not significantly
different. The correlation between the two Department of Education programs got a Pearson r value of
0.471 while the p-value is .003. The relationship between the extent of implementation of Gulayan sa
Paaralan and level of participation in School-Based Feeding Program is significant and positive.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings, students’ assessment on the extent of the implementation of Gulayan sa Paaralan
is significantly higher than the assessment of the teachers. There is no significant difference on teachers
and students’ assessment on the level of participation in School-Based Feeding Program. Lastly, there is
a significant relationship between the extent of implementation of Gulayan sa Paaralan and level of
participation in School-Based Feeding Program at Lipa City National High School. An action plan is
proposed to further improve the implementation of Gulayan sa Paaralan and participation in the
School-Based Feeding Program.

Extent of Implementation of Monitoring and Evaluation System in Public

Schools: Elucidating Impact on Student Learning Outcome
Ligaya Sahot, Department of Education - Cavite
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
School Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System is a mechanism for gathering, processing, analyzing,
interpreting, and storing data and information about the learner’s progress, school programs, and
projects. The Monitoring and Evaluation System was implemented to uplift the quality of education in
the Philippines. The objective of this study is to assess the extent of implementation of the Monitoring
and Evaluation System of the Department of Education and its impact on the teaching-learning
outcomes in public schools in Tagaytay City District.
METHODS
A descriptive design was utilized in this study to obtain information concerning the extent
implementation of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) in public schools. Consequently the findings of
the study were the basis to elucidate impact on students’ learning outcome. An adopted research
questionnaire from the Monitoring Report Forms of Division of Cavite integrating the essential
activities of each indicator of the Monitoring and Evaluation System (M&E) implementation was used
to collect data from 205 respondents.
RESULTS
Findings revealed that the Monitoring and Evaluation System was fully implemented as evaluated by the
two groups of respondents from 16 participating schools. However, there is significant difference in the
evaluation of the two groups of respondents. Academic performance of the pupils after monitoring and
evaluation indicated satisfactory results but statistically, data shows that pupils’ academic performance
has no association with the extent of M&E implementation.
DISCUSSIONS
The results show the need for further innovations and interventions of the Monitoring and Evaluation
System. The effectiveness of the Monitoring and Evaluation System is based on the performance of the
learners through improvement in learner achievement and quality of the teaching and learning process
of the teacher.

Extent of Implementation of School-Community Partnership in East Five

Cluster, Division of Calamba City: An Input to School Improvement Plan
Melicin Leyva, Department of Education - Division Of Calamba
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
As the curriculum changes together with the demand of the 21st Century learners, the needs of the
learners also increase. The Department of Education, as a public institution, cannot solely support these
demands even with the help of the local government. As the needs arise, the school has to find their
own partner to support the programs intended for the learners, the school-community partnership.
However, there is a difficulty in finding stakeholders that will support the needs of the learners.
The East Five cluster has six (6) elementary schools located in an urban area wherein business and
opportunities are numerous. Businesses are strategically located around East Five. That means there are
bigger possibilities to invite stakeholders that will cater to the needs of the learners for learning to take
place and to meet the demands of the 21st Century learners.
METHODS
This study used a descriptive research design. The researcher used the survey method. The participants
were the teachers of the six (6) elementary schools in East Five cluster. The data gathered from the
participants were treated confidentially.
RESULTS
The status of extent of implementation of school-community partnership in terms of parenting attained
a composite general mean of 3.82. Communicating recorded a general mean of 4.36. A general mean of
4.09 was recorded for learning at home. Volunteering recorded a general mean of 3.87. Decision-making
with a general mean of 4.06 was noted. A general mean of 3.82 for collaborating with the community
was also noted. The mutual benefits of the partnership included improved educational quality for
students and improved community goodwill.
DISCUSSIONS
School stakeholders not only helped identify potential partners but were also often served as members
of an Action Team for Partnerships (ATP) that worked alongside these prospective community partners
to develop relationships, share school needs, and explore the possibility of establishing a new school-
community partnership (Epstein et al., 2011). The findings of the study were highly evidence-based on
Epstein's Six Types of Involvement: parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home,
decision-making, and collaborating with the community. Although the main findings were highly
evident, the challenge of this research is the consistency of the stakeholders to allot the same time and
resources provided from the previous partnership. The researcher recommends future research to find
out how stakeholders can sustain the partnership.

Extent of Implementation of the Child Protection Policy in Tabaco City
Aladino B. Bonavente & Jose B. Bueno, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Child abuse constitutes a violation of the most basic rights of children and adolescents enshrined in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. All persons under the age of 18 have the right to physical and
psychological integrity and to protection from all forms of violence. Article 19 of the Convention on the
Rights of the Child (CRC), adopted by the United Nations in 1989, exhorts State parties to take "all
appropriate legislative, administrative, social, and educational measures to protect the child from all
forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or
exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person
who has the care of the child.” Similarly, the UN International Committee on the Rights of the Child
has emphasized the importance of member countries prohibiting all forms of physical punishment and
degrading treatment of children (Convention on the Rights of the Child, 2006). Based from the reports
submitted by the school heads, there are reported cases on the following: bullying, smoking, child labor,
teenage pregnancy, and premarital sex. Researchers want to find out whether the schools are
implementing the Child Protection Policy as mandated by the Department of Education. This study is
one of the topics suggested in Department of Education Order No. 39, s. 2016.
METHODS
The descriptive-correlational method adopting the survey type design was used in this study. Survey has
assisted in preparing existing conditions with predetermined criteria or in the evaluation of the
effectiveness of memoranda, circular, or laws.
RESULTS
The common offenses committed concerning child protection ranked accordingly were as follows:
economic exploitation, bullying, physical violence, cyber-bullying, psychological violence, sexual
violence, and sexual exploitation. On the significant difference of the level of implementation of the
Child Protection Policy in Tabaco City Division, findings show that there was no significant difference
on the level of implementation of the child protection policy made by the schools and school personnel.
DISCUSSIONS
The researchers recommend an intervention plan in the form of training. Training and development
makes the employee feel satisfied with the role they play in the organization. The moment they gain the
necessary skills, employees will become more confident, self- reliant, and require only little guidance as
they perform their tasks.

Epitacia Cullera, Balete ES
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This research study was conducted to find out the extent of parental involvement in the school's
programs and projects with parents of Bucal Elementary School in School Year 2016-2017. This study
also aims to identify the profiles of parent-respondents in terms of age, sex, occupation, and family
income, determine the extent of parental support in the school's programs and projects among parents
in Bucal Elementary School in School Year 2016-2017, and to design a program/ project to improve the
stakeholders' participation in school.

Extent of Stakeholder's Participation in Bukal Elementary School, Padre

Garcia Batangas: Its Effect on the School's Performance
Mary Jane Hernandez, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Stakeholders’ participation is very important for the purpose of increasing literacy rates among students.
But there are many factors that affect the enrollment rate of the students especially when parents,
students, teachers, school administration and policy makers do not contribute efforts adequately. This
leads to low quality education and low literacy rate. Thus, adequate participation of the stakeholders is
the ultimate prerequisite for the attainment of high literacy rate. In addition, learning programs must
ensure the sustainability of the projects through the active participation of the stakeholders.
METHODS
The descriptive type of research through survey was applied in the study. According to Viscara (2009),
the descriptive research method was designed to gather information on people and about present
existing conditions. It will also describe and interpret the conditions or relationships that will exist,
beliefs being held, effects that will be observed, and effects that will be developed. The researcher's
constructed questionnaire was used as the main data gathering instrument. It was validated through a
pilot test of the questionnaire.
RESULTS
Stakeholders are those who may be affected by or have effects on effort. They may also include people
who have strong interest in effort for academic reasons even though they and their families, friends, and
associates are not directly affected by it. Interest in an effort or organization could just be intellectually-
and academically-motivated attention. Stakeholders are generally said to have interest in an effort or
organization based on whether they can affect or be affected by it. The more they stand to benefit or
lose, the stronger their interest is likely to be. The more heavily involved they are in the effort or
organization, the stronger their interest is as well.
DISCUSSIONS
The research suggests that stakeholders’ participation in school brings positive results with regards to
the performance of the school. It's important to monitor and evaluate how well stakeholders have been
identified, understood, and involved in the course of an effort. It's best to involve stakeholders from the
very beginning but it's never too late to learn so that work can be improved. Evaluation of the
stakeholder process should be an integral part of the overall evaluation of the effort.

of Guidelines
Wally Benamer, Department of Education - Lipa City, Lipa City National High
School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Assessment of learning is an integrated process for determining the nature and extent of student
development. Attending to students' learning by using a variety of assessment strategies has always been
a trademark of good teaching. Teachers who have embraced 21st Century state-of-the-art assessment
practices have been recharged and become more effective and strategic in their teaching and assessment
methods. Due to certain constraints on the use of traditional assessment tools, many educators have
been obligated to try out alternate methods of student evaluation and have appreciated the advantages
of utilizing portfolio assessments.
METHODS
The study utilized the descriptive method of research. The respondents of the study were the
Mathematics teachers of Lipa City National High School. The instrument used was a survey
questionnaire. Weighted mean was computed to determine the extent of use of portfolio assessment as
assessment tool. Pearson r was used to ascertain the level of relationship between study variables.
RESULTS
It was found that growth portfolio was the most-used type of portfolio among the Mathematics teachers
in Lipa City National High School. Furthermore, growth portfolios, showcase portfolios, and evaluation
portfolios are interpreted as well-utilized. Among the factors that limit the use of portfolio assessment,
portfolios being not standardized was categorized at a high level. Portfolios as not feasible for large-
scale assessment was also categorized at a high level. Portfolios as being potentially biased was at a high
level. Personal and Professional Limitations was categorized at a high level.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers utilizing portfolio assessment may need to investigate first the purpose of it before using it.
Parents are encouraged to monitor the portfolio of his/her child to continue the learning process. The
school is recommended to conduct parent meetings more often based on this idea. School principals are
encouraged to promote the use of portfolio assessment to their teachers as an assessment tool. Similar
studies are recommended to further verify the result of this study with another locality and a different
set of respondents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The study aims to determine the extent of use and perceived effectiveness of Differentiated Instruction
in teaching Araling Panlipunan 9 in selected secondary schools in Rosario District, Division of Batangas.
The researcher has observed that only few teachers utilize Differentiated Instruction as a teaching
strategy to facilitate the teaching and learning process. At present, making the students learn the
different topics in Araling Panlipunan has always been a big challenge to teachers which convinced the
researcher to make Differentiated Instruction as a subject of study with the intention to find how
effective it is as a strategy in teaching.
METHODS
The study utilized the descriptive method of research. Simple Percentage was used to describe the
demographic profile of the respondents according to some selected variables such as age, gender, and
years in service. Weighted Mean was used to determine the typicality of responses. Other statistical tools
used were Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Spearman Brown Formula, and t-test.
RESULTS
Based on the results, the respondents are of legal working age, majority of whom are female with
considerable length of teaching experience and years of service. The teachers regularly utilize
differentiated instruction in the teaching of Araling Panlipunan 9 with much focus on content, process,
product, and learning environment. The teachers' utilization of differentiated instruction contributes a
lot in the students' development of skills and competencies in the three domains which include
cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. When grouped by varied items on the respondents' profile
variables that include age, gender, and years in service, the comparisons by groups in terms of the extent
of utilization of differentiated instruction in the teaching of Araling Panlipunan 9 tend to arrive more at
similarities and common points of view but the occurrence of differences and variations remains
inevitable.
DISCUSSIONS
Generally, there is a strong association between the extent of utilization of differentiated instruction in
the teaching of Araling Panlipunan 9 and its effects on the students' development of skills and
competencies in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The findings of the study imply
that a continuous and consistent utilization of differentiated instruction in the teaching of Araling
Panlipunan 9 will certainly be of great value and contribution to the students' development of varied
skills and competencies.

Extent of Using Differentiated Activities among Kindergarten Learners in

District 5 Division of Batangas City
Mary Anne Pentinio
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study aims to assess the extent of using differentiated activities among Kindergarten learners. It
also aims to determine how many Kindergarten leaners can be further developed, the difficulties that
teachers encounter, and the proposed activities that can enhance the use of differentiated activities in
teaching Kindergarten learners.
METHODS
The teacher-made questionnaire was used in the study. The study involved 10 Kindergarten Teachers in
District 5 Division of Batangas City. The researcher used a checklist to determine the extent of using
differentiated activities, teacher strategies, and the difficulties they encountered in teaching Kindergarten
learners.
RESULTS
The differentiated activities utilized among Kindergarten learners are as follows: “Where is Hops?”
“What's the sound?” “Letter Partners,” “Living or Non-living,” “Sam Says,” “Sneak a Peek,” “Zoom,”
“Go,” and “It Feels.” Each differentiated activity provides pupils the opportunity to work with others
and that skill is one of the core skills for the success in classroom. All 10 strategies of Kindergarten
teachers had highly extensive performance but none of the methods stand out in particular. It depends
on the learning style of students. The majority of the teachers had moderately extensive performance in
terms of teacher difficulties. There are many difficulties that make the profession more complicated
than it has to be. These difficulties makes every teacher stronger.
DISCUSSIONS
This study focused on the extent of using differentiated activities and how Kindergarten learners can be
further developed. As a result, the researchers conclude that the proposed supplementary activities can
be shown to supervisors, school heads, and other teachers for their suggestions and comments before
using it. The differentiated activities should be used every other day with time limits to teach learners
how to manage time wisely.

How Parents and Teachers Influence the Values Formation of Students: Its
Implication on Administration and Supervision in Area Iii Division of
Batangas
Charity Reyes, Department Of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The values formation process may be influenced by a mixture of parent values, peer values, and cultural
values. The relationship between parents and their child remains influential. Just as teachers bring and
develop a variety of professional and personal values to classroom relationships, the students also bring
a variety of values from the home. These include varying expressions of tolerance, respect for others,
social conscience and personal responsibility. So, the relationship is a dynamic process that is informed
by the values of both students and teacher.
METHODS
The researcher employed a descriptive method, which aims to describe the nature of the situation as it
exists at the time of the study and to explore the causes of particular phenomena. It is a purposive
process of analyzing, classifying and tabulating data on prevailing conditions, practices, beliefs,
processes, trends and cause-and-effect relationships.
RESULTS
Student respondents "often" to "always" agree that teachers influence the value formation process of
the students. The majority of the student respondents often agreed that parents influence the value
formation process of the students. Performance and action in class ranked first in teachers' factors that
influence the value formation of the students. Identification and academics ranked first in parents'
factors that influence the value formation of the students. There is a significant difference between
Group A and C of student respondents, and Group B and C of student respondents under social
concern in the extent of perceived influence of teachers in value formation. There is no significant
difference in the extent of perceived influence of parents in the value formation of the students when
grouped according to ages.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers must design teaching activities that will strengthen the value responsibility of the students.
Teachers must carefully select learning strategy relevant to the development of the subject and values in
focus. School Administrators must develop strategies that will extend values learned in school to the
home and community. School administrators must continue to diagnose the current state of the
formation of values.

Parents and Teachers' Influence on the Values Formation Process of Grade

Six Pupils in Tanauan City East District and its Implications on Values
Education
Lorna Matienzo
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Parents as one of the important figures in society are responsible for bringing up children. It is obvious
that without parental guidance, the majority of children would be confused and lost. On the other hand,
good teachers can inspire powerful learning among children, even under the most difficult
circumstances. The most important factors that influence the development of positive values are home
factors followed by school factors.
METHODS
The researcher applied the descriptive method of research using a questionnaire. The study made use of
twenty percent (20%) pupil-respondents which were chosen through random sampling. The instrument
was constructed based on the idea that questions must: pertain to the hypothesized relation of variables,
provide answers to the stated research question, attain the research objectives, relate to the theoretical-
conceptual framework.
RESULTS
It is evident that the elders, tutor, and teacher affect the behavior and attitude of the child. The concept
that everything begins at home was again strengthened implicitly in this study.
DISCUSSIONS
Since both parents and teachers are very influential in the values formation of the pupils, then they
should serve as better example of desirable values. This study could be a basis for enhancement
program for teachers, parents, and administration for the betterment of the values formation of the
pupils.

Mikael Sandino Andrey, Quezon Science High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Communication is at everyone's fingertips. This is made possible by social media platforms. People
spend most of their time in social media such as Facebook. It functions as a purposed network of
identities, deposited expressions, and interactive media that make for a meaningful digital space that has
become interlaced into the day-to-day lives of most students (Ginger, 2008). This study focused on
determining the engagement of Facebook in students' reading habits.
METHODS
The researcher made use of a descriptive-quantitative research design. The participants of the study
were 30 Grade 10 students from Lucena City National High School, school year 2017-2018. The
Facebook group Integrity English 10 was created to serve as a platform for the participants to read. A
survey questionnaire was adapted to gather responses from the participants of the study. Likewise, the
students were asked through Facebook to share their insights on the platform.
RESULTS
The study revealed that the participants agree that Facebook enhances their reading habits. This is
consistent with Sleeman and Ryan (2015) and Hanafia and Yunus (2016) who stated that the enthusiasm
of students in social media, especially Facebook, and a good choice of English reading material could
assist them in engaging in reading.
DISCUSSIONS
It can be claimed that Facebook may be used as a platform to enhance and supplement students'
reading habits and ability. Nevertheless, the choice of proper and adequate materials is needed for

Face-To-Face Driver Model: Effects on the Academic Performance and

Attitude towards Mathematics of 4th Grade Learners
Ma. Melissa Lynne Ladisla, DLSU-D
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Many people do not have the basic math skills needed to function successfully in school (Hom, 2013).
In addition, difficulties in Math can persist and become seriously debilitating in adulthood (Garnett &
Fleischner 1987). Generation Z learners are more engaged in an ICT integrated learning environment
thus teachers need to incorporate technology to aid instruction. This experiment was conducted to
determine the effects of Face-to-Face Driver Model to the academic performance and attitude towards
Mathematics of Fourth grade Learners.
METHODS
A Quasi-Experimental design was conducted in one of the Elementary School in Dasmarinas, 60
learners from 4th grade learners, with three instruments: achievement test (pretest and post-test),
attitude scale, and online questionnaire. Both control and experimental groups were statistically equated
at the start of the experiment. The data gathered were analyzed using the descriptive statistic, t-test for
independent and dependent, and MANOVA.
RESULTS
Findings revealed that there is a significant difference in the mean achievement in Mathematics and
academic performance mean scores of each group. Experimental group obtained a higher mean gain.
No significant difference in the attitude of the control group. However, there is a significant difference
in the attitude of the experimental group. There is a significant difference in the gain score between the
experimental and control groups, but no significant difference exists on achievement and attitude of the
groups according to types of learner. There is a significant difference in the change in attitude and
performance of the students in the experimental and control group while there is no significant
difference in the change on attitude and performance of different type of learners. Likewise, the
interaction effect of treatment (Control and Experimental) and type of learner (Auditory, Visual and
Tactile) is not significant.
DISCUSSIONS
The result indicates that learners' performance and positive attitude of learning towards Mathematics
increased when technology was integrated. The type of learner is not a moderating variable in the effect
of the treatment on the attitude of the learners. This agree with Abd Wahab (2006) that academic
achievement is not due to their learning style. The findings led to conclusion that Face to Face Driver
Model proved to be a better approach in teaching 4th grade Mathematics.

Almida Camitan, Department of Education - Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Teachers use textbook as their primary teaching resource. According to Gregorio as cited by Rafa (2010)
the use of devices such as instructional materials stimulates the students to develop greater
understanding of the lessons. Through the use of contextualized learning materials in mathematics,
students can work on their own way. The results of the NAT in Mathematics reveal that the mean
percentage score in CVLIS Calamba City did not reach the 75% mastery level. With these
aforementioned findings, the researcher desires to help Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School students
to improve performance in mathematics by developing contextualized learning materials.
METHODS
This study used descriptive research design, and the one group pre-test and post-test research design
involving 50 students. The study was implemented in the second grading period of the school year
2017-2018 at CVLIS.
RESULTS
Almost all competencies on functions and circles in G10 Mathematics are least learned based on the
needs analysis conducted by the researcher. The study disclosed that there is significant difference
between the mean performance of the students in the pretest and post-test. The contextualized learning
materials in Grade 10 Mathematics is in accordance with the needs of the learners as well as the least
learned competencies as prescribed by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.
DISCUSSIONS
The results showed that the learning materials in G10 Mathematics is very helpful in the development of
mathematical skills in students. The results implied that the contextualized learning materials was proven
effective in improving the students' achievement in mathematics.

Rolando Merle, Quezon National High School Research Coordinator
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The study aimed at looking at the different factors (Student-Profile Factors, Student-Related Factors
and Teacher-Related Factors) that directly influence the utilization of Mathematics Independent
Learning Activity-Practice and Play Unite Scheme (MILAPlus) instructional strategy through the use of
Factor Analysis as basis of improving students' performance in Mathematics, and instructional strategy.
METHODS
This study used a non-experimental, quantitative research using descriptive correlational survey through
Factor Analysis. The sample consisted of one hundred fifty-seven (157) Grade 9 students of Quezon
National High School Iyam, Lucena City, selected using the non- probability purposive sampling
technique according to the inclusion criteria set by the researcher. The five instruments that were used
in this study were Student Numeracy Test, Reading Comprehension Ability Test, Student Attitude
Towards Mathematics, Student Satisfaction Level, and Colorado Students' Perception Survey. The data
were presented through Descriptive Analysis, Preliminary Analysis through Kaiser- Meyer-Olkin
(KMO), and Bartlett's test of Sphericity. The Main Factor Analysis was run through Principal
Component Analysis with eigenvalue extraction and Varimax rotation.
RESULTS
The results revealed that the student-profile factors and student related-factors directly influenced the
utilization of MILAPlus instructional strategy even if it loads low on Factor Analysis. The Mathematics
performance of the respondents was at satisfactory level, the student numeracy was on the emergent
level, and the student reading comprehension was on the instructional level. The student attitudes
towards Mathematics fell under the Somewhat category, contrary to student satisfaction level which was
extremely satisfied on average. The teacher-related factors were at the higher WAM levels and loaded
high on factor analysis.
DISCUSSIONS
MILA Power Plus Instructional Strategy Manual was the output of the study. Based on the findings and
conclusions, it was recommended that students continually enhance, discover, and develop their
numerical faculty and reading comprehension ability by working in varied learning activities; for the
teachers to use the Enhanced MILA Power Plus instructional strategy; and for future researchers to use
the present study as basis in investigating further on factors affecting the utilization of an effective
instructional strategy in mathematics education.

METHODS
Multiple methods design was used; grounded theory approach, and focus groups with the learners and
their family. This is a descriptive qualitative research design for teacher's observation to identify the
common misbehavior the pupils manifested. Nine students were noted to have behavioral problems. To
identify the possible causes or factors behind their manifested misbehavior, an informal interview with
the pupils was conducted. The survey questionnaire was administered to determine the extent to which
the listed misbehavior was manifested by the pupils, then the teacher conducted home visitation. We
also conferred with their parents and sought their assistance in correcting their child's misbehavior.
RESULTS
The misbehavior obtained great extent descriptive interpretation as confirmed by the average weighted
mean of 3.60, which imply the existence of behavioral problems among the pupils. It could also be
inferred that there are factors that influenced the pupils from manifesting varied types of misbehavior.
Factors may have evolved from the nature of the pupils, home, community and even from the teachers.
DISCUSSIONS
After two months, the researcher recorded the frequency in which the same pupils manifest the same
misbehavior. The records revealed that their previous manifestation of misbehavior was minimized but
not totally gone. The previous records of daily misbehavior of pupils were trimmed down to twice a
week, then to once a week till some pupil's misbehavior was gone.

Vicente Elementary
Jennifer O. Mendoza, Marjorie M. Despida, & Wilma Penaloza, Department of

Education Sto. Tomas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Reading can be one of the most rewarding preoccupation.
METHODS
The researcher used the descriptive type of research in this study. It includes observation, surveys and
interviews, standardized test, and case studies.
RESULTS
The findings revealed that there are specific characteristics that determine how successfully an individual
will comprehend text, including prior knowledge about the subject, well-developed language, and the
ability to make inferences from methodical questioning, and monitoring comprehension.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher has come up with the following conclusions: parents, specifically the mothers'
educational level was one of the factors that positively related to children's academic achievement. This
is clearly supported by the results of the respondents' scores in the comprehension test. Therefore,
comprehension takes place if the willingness and the desire of the students to understand the text are
present. Teachers' competency in teaching reading is also a contributing factor.

Factors Affecting Absenteeism of Kindergarten Learners (PM Session) of

San Marcos Elementary School During the SY 2018 - 2019
Clariza Malabanan, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Absenteeism affects the teacher's ability to present classwork in a sequential and organized way. This
can have an effect on the progress and performance of the students in the class. Several studies in the
school were conducted in the past but none of them was focused on absenteeism. The purpose of
conducting this action research is to reveal and document the factors why some pupils of Kindergarten
in the afternoon session of San Marcos Elementary School SY 2018-2019 are being absent all the time.
METHODS
Descriptive Design was used to find out the factors affecting absenteeism of Kindergarten Learners.
Random sampling was used to select the respondents.
RESULTS
The researcher consolidated the number of absences incurred by Kindergarten PM Session. 8 out of 24
pupils are always absent in the class. The average attendance of Kindergarten PM Session is 82% in
three months. 66% of pupils are residing at the far-flung areas. Other reasons are poverty, uneducated
parents, and lack of interest in education.
DISCUSSIONS
After the documentation of the reasons of absenteeism, the school is now ready to prioritize programs
that would promote child care. Intense feeding program should be implemented and interventions like
home visitation are needed to remedy the problem. Educating the parents is also important to sustain
the interest of the children in education. This paper could also ignite the interest of other teachers to do
more research on the efficacy of interventions done in the school to minimize absenteeism.

Cip Math - Unlad Program
Annabel R. Estiller, Prudence Ann Solomom, Rochelle R. Desacola, & Sally Bayan
(Adviser: Rochelle Desacola)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Most people today still believe that Mathematics is all about computation yet it is in fact seen in almost
every field. We use measurement in fashion, angles in sports; we see numbers in calendars, clocks and
signs; we see patterns, symmetries and different geometric shapes almost everywhere. This is how
important Mathematics is in real life. For mathematicians, it is a tool for knowing structures,
relationships, and patterns of mathematical ideas, and therefore producing solutions for complex real-
life problems.
METHODS
The study population is the Grade 7 students of Munting Ilog National High School - Silang West
Annex. Using the purposive sampling technique, the researchers selected seventy participants with
below 75 percent grade in mathematics.
RESULTS
The intervention program has gone for 23 days. The researchers have given pre-test and post-test. The
test is composed of 60-item questions comprising lessons on the second quarter. The result from the
pre-test shows that 88% of the questions asked is not mastered. It means that the MPS is less than or
equal to 33 percent. It has improved after the intervention program. The result of the post-test shows
that only 15% of the questions given are not mastered.
DISCUSSIONS
Overall, the researchers have concluded that the program, specifically the CIP Math-Unlad can be a
solution for the problem on low academic performance of students. The researchers have also seen the
importance of continuous follow up. This is why the researchers have recommended continuous
monitoring of the participants' performance until end of the school year.

Factors Affecting English Writing Composition among Junior High School

Students
Elvira Dolot & Navera Mis
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Writing is one of the four macro skills that are difficult to master and acquire. It needs a reader or
audience to interpret the written language, and to understand the message behind the written text. The
main thrust of the study is to find out the factors affecting the English Writing Composition among
Junior High School Students. Specifically: to describe the profile of the student respondents in terms of
age, gender, last school attended and interest; to determine the factors that affect the writing
composition in English in terms of; teacher factor, student factor, classroom/physical facilities, social
factor; to determine the problems encountered in writing composition in English; to test the significant
difference of the factors affecting writing composition in English when grouped according to profile;
and to propose a learning enhancement program based on the results of the study.
METHODS
The researcher used the descriptive method. A survey questionnaire was used to determine the factors
affecting the English writing composition among grade 8 students. The subjects of this study were all
215 grade 8 students out of 900 total population of Natalia V. Ramos Memorial National High School
S.Y 2015-2016. No sampling method was used since all of the grade 8 students were chosen.
RESULTS
The age, gender, last school attended, and interest of the students do not affect their writing
composition in English. Teacher uses different strategies, requires more writing activities, gives enough
time, and teaches proper ways of writing composition. Though students can write English composition,
they still need to improve their writing skills. Classroom and physical facilities are functional yet still lack
modern technologies to supply the students' needs. The social environment of the students does not
affect their writing composition in English.
DISCUSSIONS
Teachers still need to find resources and even attend different training to enhance teaching skill.
Students should focus more attention in writing activities in school. The school must provide and
upgrade physical facilities, modern technologies and gadgets to meet the need of the students in writing
composition.

Factors Affecting Pupils' Learning Behavior Under K to 12 Curriculum

among Grade 3 Pupils of Tambo Elementary School
Cherileen L. Resaba
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The classroom has been called the experimental laboratory of the children. This is the place where
classroom management and discipline are considered important dynamic in students' experience and
success. A well-managed classroom may imply good behavior among the students. Effective teaching
and learning cannot take place in a poorly managed classroom (Marzano, 2003). If students are
disorderly and disrespectful, and no apparent rules and procedures guide behavior, chaos becomes the
norm. In these situations, both teachers and students suffer.
METHODS
This research covered the assessment of the home-related factors and school-related factors affecting
pupils' learning behavior under K to 12 Curriculum. A descriptive research method was employed with
constructed questionnaire as data gathering instrument. Relevant data gathered were analyzed using
frequency count, weighted mean, and ranking. 140 Grade 3 pupils of Tambo Elementary School were
considered as the respondents of the study.
RESULTS
Pupils' disciplinary problems may be described in terms of health, social attitude and classroom
behavior. There is a significant relationship on factors affecting pupils' behavior in learning under K to
12 Curriculum and the extent of the respondents' assessment on the factors affecting pupils' health,
social attitude and classroom behavior.
DISCUSSIONS
The researcher recommend that teachers conduct assessments to uncover the factors affecting their
pupils' learning behavior and design measures to help them cope. School reforms and policies should be
focused in strengthening positive health, social attitudes, and classroom behaviors to minimize
disciplinary problems.

Factors Affecting Reading Performance of Grade III Pupils of Agus-os

Elementary School
Ermalyn C. Aguila, Joymae D. Ramos, & Ma. Lourdes M. Del Barrio, Department
of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The main objective of the study is to determine the reasons that contribute to the reading skills of the
slow readers and readers at risk (frustration readers) of the Grade 3 pupils as determined by the pre-test
of Phil-IRI of the Agus-os Elementary School in Indang, Cavite as basis for the need of an intervention
program.
METHODS
The research study used descriptive research design. Quantitative method was utilized to interpret the
result of the survey questionnaire. The first set of structured questions about the "Reasons Why Pupils
Have Difficulty in Reading" will be answered by the parents of selected Grade 3 pupils. The other set of
questions is composed of two parts and will be answered by the selected Grade 3 pupils. The first part
of the questionnaire are checklists that will determine the reading preferences of the pupils in terms of
reading materials, reading form, reading companion, and learning medium. The second part are
questions wherein the pupils will provide their own answer to questions. The respondents were pupils
and parents purposively selected as identified by the Phil-IRI as "frustration readers".
RESULTS
Results showed that parents of Grade 3 pupils perceived that "Lack of Parents Supervision/Guidance"
as the main reason why pupils have difficulty in reading. In terms of the answers gathered from the
students, most of them prefers to read short stories. It's easier for them to recognize words when
written in big letters. Results also show that pupils prefer reading with a partner. Furthermore, pupils
consider difficulties in recognizing letters and words as the main reason why they have difficulties in
reading and comprehension. On the other hand, they believe that practice and frequent reading, and the
use of reading drills will help them improve their reading and comprehension.
DISCUSSIONS
The result of the study suggests the need for an intervention program to address the pupils' issue on
difficulties in reading and comprehension. It may focus on giving take home reading materials that can
enhance Teacher-student-parent cooperation. Boost peer tutoring during free time and remediation.
Training of teachers for Teaching Beginning Reading and giving recognition and rewards for best
readers may also be considered.

Elementary School
Mary Rose Garcia, Bambang Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Kindergarten education is vital to the academic and technical development of the Filipino child. The
child's initial school experience can influence the way they perform in future school activities.
METHODS
This study utilized descriptive method of research with questionnaires as the main instrument of
gathering data. The respondents of this study would be 38 parents of Kindergarten Pupils SY 2018-2019
in Bambang Elementary School.
RESULTS
Through this study, the factors affecting school readiness of Kindergarten pupils were assessed by
means of gathering feedback of the target respondents. After gaining additional feedback from the
parent-respondents, the researcher conclude that a kindergarten teacher should identify non-academic
skills as more important. The educators in early childhood education felt the need for the alignment of
ECE curriculum with the standards of the K to 12 curriculum. The researchers highlighted the need for
smooth transitions from preschool to grade school so as to facilitate continuity of learning.
DISCUSSIONS
Results of the study emphasized that there should be a continuous review of the curriculum content and
design so that it would properly address the needs of children and to help them adjust effectively to the
demands of formal education. The final output of this study is the course of action that helps pupils to
become ready for schooling in Kindergarten.

Factors Affecting Student Behavior of Grade V-Patience in Balele

Elementary School School Year 2018-2019
Jocelyn Esmeralda, School Paper Adviser
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Character education has been a part of public schooling in the Philippines since its beginning.
Nowadays, it has been implemented under the K to 12 Curriculum as Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao. The
current emphasis on character education in schools began in the early 1990s as an attempt to lessen the
increasingly violent behavior of students as observed by most of the teachers.
METHODS
The researcher used the multiple case study that determined different factors affecting the behavior of
Grade V-Patience pupils of Balele Elementary School, school year 2018-2019. It involved the gathering
of data through interview and survey in the attempt to test the hypothesis.
RESULTS
After the thorough analysis and interpretation of data gathered, the following results had been attained
in connection with the statement of the problem. That most of the students having negative behavior
came from a broken family. Those who were in that case have different situations e.g. early marriage,
poverty, unemployment, conflict of both families, and miscommunication. Those situations led the
parents to have misunderstandings that cause separation and divorce. The issues often involved in
family conflict are communication skills like shouting, silence, swearing, name calling, keeping secrets
and issuing threats or using ultimatums.
DISCUSSIONS
When a child misbehaves or fails to meet expectations at school, the child's home and family life should
be considered. Several family factors can affect a child's behavior and ability to perform in the
classroom. These include economic stability, changes in family relationships, parental attitudes toward
education, and incidence of child abuse. Children who have parents who encourage academic success
are more likely to develop their own aspirations for higher education.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The researchers focused on the lack of interest of students in their class lesson. In this study, we
scrutinized reasons that determine how the students will be successful in the achievement of learning.
METHODS
An in-depth semi-structured interview had been applied in this qualitative study for collecting data.
Descriptive research was used by the researchers. The respondents of the study were twenty (20) Grade
nine secondary teachers in Tagaytay City National High School. There were two (2) Science Teachers,
two (2) Araling Panlipunan Teachers, three (3) English Teachers, three (3) Filipino Teachers, two (2)
ESP Teachers, two (2) Math Teachers, two (2) MAPEH Teachers, and four (4) TLE Teachers. They
were given five questions with three indicators each. The data were computed using frequency and
percentage. The data were interpreted using the highest and lowest frequency score.
RESULTS
Our result revealed that teaching strategy mainly affect the interest of the learners, and cooperation of
the parents with the teacher in their school activities can help solve the lack in interest. Moreover,
school environment greatly affects students in their class lessons especially in a crowded classroom
setting. Aside from that, we discovered that giving recognition, incentives, and extra work will catch
their attention in class lessons.
DISCUSSIONS
Interest of students in different subject areas is very important in academic performance. The result
shows that there are many sources of influence contributed to students' lack of interest in their class
lessons. It was revealed that academic support from the teachers, school, stakeholders, and parents
could increase interest in their class lessons.

time, many distractions, like television or video games stand in the way of children's study times. The
Department of Education continuously launches different programs intended to develop and enhance
pupils' study habits.
METHODS
The study utilized the descriptive method of research to analyze the factors that affect the study habits
of intermediate pupils in Dao Elementary School.
RESULTS
Pupils' performance in the component of assignment and homework, attendance and punctuality,
behavior or attitude and result of written examination like quizzes and periodical test were assessed.
Pupils got 75-79 which signifies fair performance. Sickness was the main reason why pupils skip their
classes. With respect to doing homework, majority or 37 pupils claimed that they prefer to play rather
than make assignments. In regard with the performance of pupils in quizzes, 32 percent of them
claimed that poor time management in reviewing their lessons is the main reason why they do not
perform well in tests.

Factors Affecting Teacher Professionalism
Sabeniano Rosales
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Republic Act No. 7836, otherwise known as the Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994
was adopted as the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers here in the Philippines. This demands
strict adherence to and observance of ethical and moral principles, standards, and values, inside the
school and out. However, this conservative idea of professionalism is highly affected by the present
world with "professionalism" being widely viewed simply as the extent a teacher can use their skills and
experience to overcome any difficulty (Baggini, 2005) without regard to other conservative factors.
METHODS
Quantitative in approach, this study employed factor analysis. This allowed for the quantification of
emergent latent factors and the highest influential factors in developing the sense of professionalism
among millennial educators in the four congressional districts of the Division of Batangas Province,
excluding the Divisions of Batangas City and Lipa City. Participants were chosen using the non-
probability criterion sampling technique among public school teachers from 22-28 years old. A survey
questionnaire was designed and employed to reveal respondents' opinion towards general
knowledge/ability, focused training, teaching experience, certification, academic degree, and personal
attributes.
RESULTS
The principal component analysis revealed that the personal and professional attributes of millennial
teachers are the primary factor that contributes in the development of one's professionalism. The
millennial teachers are more open to changes, new ways of doing things, and staying abreast of
development. It was also evident that the inclination of millennial teachers in employing multicultural
education, differentiated instruction, and integrating educational technology in their practice also
contributed in their professional development.
DISCUSSIONS
The teaching competencies of teachers such as lesson planning skills, behavior management skills,
evaluation skills, and communication skills appeared to be influential factors in enhancing and
developing their professionalism. The millennial teachers also reported the high level of teaching
competencies and positive attitude towards work as influential factors in their professional
development.

Factors Affecting the absenteeism in Philippine Public Elementary

School
Elaine Dimaisip, Department of Education - Cavite
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Absenteeism is a common problem of public schools in the Philippines. One out of ten students are
marked absent every day in the classroom. According to the Department of Education (Department of
Education), students must be present at least 80% of the total number of school days in a year to fulfill
the requirement in attendance. Once the students' absences exceed the allowed 20% of the total number
of days in a school year, the student is automatically considered dropped or failed. The researcher aims
to determine the reasons of absenteeism among their school's learners.
METHODS
This is a qualitative-descriptive research that maps out the reasons of the 26 students who are identified
frequently absent. Data collection is done through in-depth interviews and document analysis of the
pupils' daily attendance. Classroom experiences and teachers' narratives were also used in this study.
RESULTS
Among all the causes of absenteeism among public school pupils, financial difficulty or poverty is the
primary reason. Other reasons of their absences are the following: distance of the school, health, and
family problem. The least reason for their absence is having a negative attitude towards studies.
DISCUSSIONS
Activities should educate students, parents, families and communities about the importance of daily
school attendance.

Helen G. De Chavez, Loida D. Cacayorin, & Ma. Jean V. Sabayton,

Department of Education - Sto. Tomas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
It is the 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 they are 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, teachers, and the school in general.
METHODS
Participants of this study were pupils and parents of Grade Six of San Vicente Elementary School with
their School Form 2 or the attendance of the pupils for the school year 2017-2018. The researchers
distributed survey questionnaires to the participant.
RESULTS
Among all the causes presented, health is the primary reason why students are absent from their classes.
Flu/fever is the leading culprit in this category. Oral health, which according to the Department of
Education is the main reason why pupils are absent, is just third among the reasons cited by the
responding students.
DISCUSSIONS
The research focused on the attendance of Grade Six pupils and the answers of their parents.

Factors Affecting the Attendance of Grade Vi-Marangal Parents of

Cupang Elementary School During Classroom Meeting
Leny Gonda, Department of Education - Bauan West District
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
"No child left behind" states that parents' involvement is the participation of parents in regular, two-
way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities
(Department of Education, 2004). The focus of this study is to investigate how parent involvement
impacts student education. The study was conducted at Cupang Elementary School.
METHODS
The researcher used parent and teacher surveys, questionnaires, and attendance of parents in classroom
meetings, and pre/posttests. The data indicate that students felt more motivated when their parents
took an active role in their child's education.
RESULTS
After the implementation of the interventions, the identified 53% who have no time to attend meetings
fell unto 39%; 27% minimal parents decreased to 21%; and 20% of significant parents who engage in
school activities increased to 40%. With the vast amounts of research on stakeholder’s participation, it is
difficult to sift through and obtain the information needed. All of the literature reviewed was positive.
The studies showed that intervention is effective when done early.
DISCUSSIONS
Intervention is recommended. Surprisingly, with all of the research available, the information about
participation of parents is vague when it comes to effectiveness. It is imperative that all students get the
support needed for growth and achievement.

INTRODUCTION
The main objective of this study was to determine the factors affecting the budgeting of allowances for
Senior High school students.
METHODS
The study used a type of quantitative research thru survey. The results were used as the basis for a
proper budgeting awareness program.
RESULTS
Respondents agree that their family, financial status, peers, and personal decision affect them in
budgeting their allowances. However, when the respondents were grouped according to their
demographic profile, there was a significant difference in the perception of the respondents. Also, there
was a significant difference in the perception of the respondents regarding the factors affecting the
budgeting of allowances when they were grouped according to their daily allowance in terms of personal
and peers influence.
DISCUSSIONS
There was no significant difference in the perception of the respondents regarding the factors affecting
the budgeting of allowances when they were grouped according to their sex, age, and family's monthly
income in terms of family influence, financial status influence, peers influence, and personal influence.
Also, there was no significant difference in the perception of the factors affecting the budgeting of
allowances when they were grouped according to their family members in terms of family influence,
financial status influence and peers influence. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the
factors affecting the budgeting of allowances when they were grouped according to their daily allowance
in terms of family influence, and financial status influence. A proper budgeting awareness program was

Factors Affecting the Career Choice of Ssc Students at Diffun National

High School in the School Year 2017-2018: A Comparative Study
Chulimay Joy T. Palej-chon

(Adviser: Jaybert Cabanero)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Science and Mathematics have been known as two of the most difficult subjects. This paper primarily
sought to compare the responses of students taking STEM strand with students taking Non-STEM
strand along factors that make them stay or choose another career track.
METHODS
The researcher employed the descriptive-comparative type of research using a researcher-constructed
questionnaire. The questionnaire was subjected to a pilot testing to some other students in the school.
The result of the pilot test was reviewed and evaluated with Cronbach alpha of .732, which indicates
respectable description on its level of internal consistency.
RESULTS
Four particulars were identified as factors affecting the career choice of students. This includes academic
requirements and educational aspiration, advice, peer influence, and family influence. Students are
affected to stay or to choose another career track due to their interest in a certain profession, career
choice of friends, and consideration of their family's financial status. The students who choose to
pursue another career had the presumption that STEM strand is complicated, teachers in the strand are
not considerate, many students failed in the strand, and all students in the strand grapples in their
requirements.
DISCUSSIONS
The results show that the advice of others is a great reason in the observance of career shifting. SSC
students are expected to pursue a career along Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics after
finishing Junior High School program. This is a great concern to be addressed by the school because the
program exists as preparatory program for careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics.

Factors Affecting the Career Choices of Junior High School Students of

Ulat Integrated School: Input to Administrative Concern, S.Y. 2018-2019
Myra A. Mallari & Gina Marie G. Pinza
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The researchers, being a counselor and a school head, have observed that most junior high school
students are undecided on a career they will choose.
METHODS
A questionnaire was the main data gathering instrument for the study.
RESULTS
Majority of the respondents perceived that grade point average or the GPA, gender, and family monthly
income relate significantly with the career choices of the junior high school students. On career choices,
Business and Economics is the most preferred course of the respondents. They plan to manage their
own company or be the boss in the workplace. Others think that finishing this course will bring them a
comfortable lifestyle. On the social factors (parents, relatives and peers), data revealed that parents were
the most influential persons in their career choices (regardless of sex and interest). The idea that
Filipinos are under an authoritarian family-centered orientation where the child has to be obedient,
submissive, loyal, and expected to follow their parents' decision are still carried today.
DISCUSSIONS
The results exhibit the necessity for the school to create new programs and activities related to career
education. This research focused on the Grade 10 students, implying the need to start career guidance as
early as Grade 7. The researcher recommends further study to test how intense the provision of a
concrete school-based career guidance program will affect the students' career choice.

INTRODUCTION
It has been said that "The man who reads is the man who leads". Reading affects the entire personality
of an individual. The world of people and events encountered on the printed page may shape a reader's
outlook towards his fellows, towards his schools, his parents and towards life in general. It may intensify
his positive reception of the physical world around him and give him an augmented awareness in artistic
and spiritual value.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was employed.
RESULTS
Teachers may focus on the comprehension of the pupils through providing activities that would
stimulate better understanding of their reading activities. Teachers are also encouraged to maintain
maximum supervision and guidance of students belonging to average and instructional category.
DISCUSSIONS
Pupil's English comprehension is one of the most important skills needed in the learning process of
reading. Teachers should guide the pupils well through involving the parents in the learning and reading
development of the pupils.

INTRODUCTION
Mathematics teachers identified the operations on fractions as one of the least learned topics in the
researcher became interested to investigate why there is difficulty in solving fractions among Grade 9
students of Dugmanon National High School, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.
METHODS
The study made use of the descriptive method of research using a questionnaire. The respondents were
Grade 9 students whose grades in Mathematics are below 80.
RESULTS
Prevalent Factors Affecting the Difficulties in Solving Fractions Table 3 shows the data on the prevalent
factors affecting the difficulties in solving fractions among the Grade 9 students of Dugmanon National
High School. It can be seen that the student factors had 53.08%; teacher factors had 52.75%; parent
factors had 52.08%; and the community factors had 50.91%. It is found out that the most prevalent
factor that affects the difficulties in solving fractions among Grade 9 students of Dugmanon National
High School is the student factors.
DISCUSSIONS
The result implies that the students themselves have the personal dilemma on dealing with mathematical
problems involving fractions. It can also be observed that the most prevailing condition is the "financial
problem" which can affect the difficulty in solving fractions among the Grade 9 students of Dugmanon
National High School. This might be because of the tendency that the student is forced to work instead
of focusing on studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The researchers deemed it necessary to conduct a survey study on identifying the factors that affect the
handwriting skills of the selected Grade 4 pupils. This research study also aims to determine the factors
affecting the pupils' cursive handwriting skills.
METHODS
This study involved 32 Grade 4-Topaz pupils enrolled for the school year 2016-2017 as respondents. A
researcher-made checklist was used as the main data-gathering instrument.
RESULTS
Personal-related factors greatly influence the pupils' handwriting skills. It is also determined that the
cursive handwriting skills of Grade 4-Topaz in terms of legibility and neatness, readability of strokes of
letters and words, and speed and precision really need enhancement because results show that most of
the indicators presented were interpreted as not observable. To successfully develop the pupils'
handwriting skills, a writing scheme is recommended to help the pupils solve the personal-related
factors influencing their handwriting skills.
DISCUSSIONS
Results indicate that to fully solve problems in handwriting, learners need more support for them to
overcome factors. Learners need to be engaged in more active and collaborative learning. Conflicts need
immediate support for the pupils to fully develop and enhance their handwriting skills. The acronym,

INTRODUCTION
Locally, in the Municipality of Saguday, highway roads are being maintained and improved almost every
six years except in the case of barangay Salvacion and barangay Tres Reyes. This becomes a problem to
the residents especially rainy season. The study determined the factors affecting the implementation of
road construction in Saguday.
METHODS
Descriptive-quantitative research design was used in the study. A total of 15 engineers from Saguday,
and barangay officials of barangay Salvacion and Tres Reyes participated in the study using convenience
sampling technique. The survey questionnaire consisted of self-assessment questions and statements
using four-point Likert Scale to find the degree of significance of each factor. Mean and thematic
analysis were applied to the collected data.
RESULTS
Project management-related is the most significant group factor followed by economic-related; while
contractor-related and environmental-related are fairly significant group factors. In addition, out of 19
identified factors, availability of finance (financing process and fund) was identified as the most
significant project management-related factor, with a mean score of 3.133. This was followed by labor
and material price fluctuation which was perceived as significant economic-related factor. It is also
found that lack of project funds and contractor's slow action are the issues concerning the
implementation of road construction in barangay Salvacion and Tres Reyes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Mother language or First Language (L1) refers to the language or languages first learned by a child,
which he/she identifies with, is identified as a native language user of by other, which he/she knows
best, or uses most. This includes Filipino sign language used by individuals with pertinent disabilities.
The regional or native language refers to the traditional speech variety or variety of Filipino sign
language existing in a region, area of place. (R.A No. 10533, Enclosure to Department of Education
Order No. 43, s. 2013)
METHODS
A total of 81 Grade-Three pupils and 9 teachers of PAL-SICO Elementary School participated as
respondents in this study. The researcher administered the questionnaire to the pupils and teachers
using simple random sampling method.
RESULTS
The teachers as respondents, had positive attitude towards the new program. Most of them also accept
the language policy. The problems in the pupils having different dialects is treated as not serious, which
means that the diversity of the learners does not pose a problem to the teachers. Difficulties in
preparing instructional materials affect the implementation of Mother Tongue.
DISCUSSIONS
Basic needs of pupils and teachers, such as instructional materials, must be met for any reform to be
effective. Teachers also need to be properly oriented, trained and supervised in the implementation of
MTB-MLE. Top-down processes should enable implementation through legislation and allocation of
resources, while bottom-up processes provide grassroots commitment and linguistic community
support.

Competence
Angelic Cordova
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The researcher conducted a study that can identify the variables that affect the listening competence of
the Grade 9 students in Tanauan City Integrated High School.
METHODS
The respondents of the study were the Grade 9 teachers of English and the Grade 9 students in
Tanauan City Integrated High School for the school year 2016-2017.
RESULTS
The students were interested whenever the teacher provides listening activity and when they are making
outputs collaboratively with their classmates. They preferred to listen to audio tapes and other listening
materials. The learners found it difficult to express their opinions and ideas about the topic being
discussed. The learners became active in the listening class when the teacher guided the learners by
giving the goals and objectives about the listening activity. The teacher's ability to pronounce words and
to articulate sounds with proper pitch and juncture affected the listening comprehension of the
students. The use of special language or figures of speech hindered the students' understanding of the
listening text. The class size and insufficient ventilation had an impact on the listening comprehension
of the learners. The place where the classrooms are located is free from noise and still conducive to
learning. As a result of the listening test, 32 respondents are in the Advanced Level, most of the
respondents are in the Proficient level with 136 numbers of students and 63 of them were in the
Approaching Proficiency Level. On the other hand, 21 students were in the Developing level and there
were 3 in Beginning level.
DISCUSSIONS
An enhancement program developed by the researcher can be an instrument to improve the listening
competence of the students.

of pupils who were under Frustration level was 178 for male pupils and 139 for female pupils. Only 18
and 24 fell under the Instructional for male and female pupils respectively. Nobody fell under the
Independent category. These results could mean that the Grade Five teachers have to do anything in
their powers and abilities to make slow and very slow readers read faster. They are in for a challenge to
make the 20 non-readers read. The researcher as grade leader and teacher of reading must do something
to put an end to the present situation.
METHODS
A researcher-made questionnaire was constructed and peer validated for corrections and sentence
construction. The respondents of this study were the Grade Five pupils who experienced difficulties in
reading and all teachers of Grade Five. The weighted mean was used to treat the responses of the
respondents.

Fantasy Literature for Expanding Junior High School Reading Interest
Leslie Canicosa, Lorna Capa, & Maria Cristina Comia
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The level of becoming a mature reader is not being obtained. Students need read frequently to keep
their minds stimulated. Our society is based on the ability to read and write. Without these basic skills,
no one will fit comfortably into today's society. Students need to learn these pivotal skills.
METHODS
The researchers made a thorough evaluation and analysis of the fantasy novel, Miss Peregrine's Home
for Peculiar Children.
RESULTS
Reading is an important skill in the society and fantasy novels offer an alternative to other boring or
uninteresting literature forms.
DISCUSSIONS
Readers need to look deeper on the utilization of five main elements such as the plot, characters,
conflict, setting and theme. Fantasy novels must be included in teaching literature to discern possible
solutions to life's adversities in a magical way. Schools need to implement reading promotion programs
that will make reading an experience that is actively sought out by students.

Rachel Jimenez & Sabrina Andi Lansangan

(Adviser: Marry Ann Macaranas)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Since papers are made from trees, researchers have been searching for other materials that can replace
plastic so that it won't affect our environment. One of it is the Bandera Espanola (Cana indica).
METHODS
The Bandera Espanola (Cana indica) was gathered and cut into very small pieces. Each set up contain
150 grams of Bandera Espanola (Cana indica) stem with 600 mL of water and 20 ml of NaOH. The first
set up has no starch and this serves as the control group or paper A; for treatment 1, 10 grams of starch
is added - paper B; and for treatment 2, 20 grams of starch is added - paper C. The three set ups were
cooked for 1.5 hours. It was washed in running water and was beat using an egg beater. The mixture
was wrapped in white cloth and flattened using silk screen and stirring rod. It was dried overnight and
we used hair dryer to dry it further. To test the hypotheses, the two-way analysis of variance ANOVA is
used, and the computed value of F for each group is compared using F test.
RESULTS
There is a slight significant difference in terms of strength, texture and water absorbance between paper
A, paper B, and paper C.
DISCUSSIONS
Bandera Espanola (Cana indica) is feasible in making paper in terms of strength and durability but not in
making a writable paper. There is a need to improve its texture.

Feasibility Study on Expansion of Sinalhan Senior High School into an

Integrated High School
Ma Cristina Pegollo, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In the conduct of this study, we have learned about the attributes affecting access to education and how
expansion of the existing barangay school can contribute to the solution.
METHODS
Data on students who are Sinalhan residents were requested from two (2) neighboring public secondary
schools. Data on population of graduating students of Sinalhan Elementary School (SES) was requested
from the school. Community profile was also gathered through the Community-Based Monitoring
System (CBMS) Census through the Office of the Barangay Captain.
RESULTS
SES produces at least 250 graduates annually. About 75-80% of these enroll in the public national high
school located in the neighboring barangay. And an estimate of 15-20% of these graduates preferred the
annex school located in the heart of the city town proper. These two schools have a distance of about
one to two kilometers from barangay Sinalhan resulting to additional transportation cost for the
students. Commuting to the adjacent barangay entail most students to take two tricycle rides. Moreover,
due to the annex school's limited capacity it has since implemented zoning in accepting enrollees and
consequently limited the entry of students coming from Sinalhan. CBMS also revealed that there are 328
barangay members aged 12 to 15 years old who are not attending high school.
DISCUSSIONS
The results validate the need for the expansion of Sinalhan Senior High School into an integrated high
school offering grades 7 to 12. This will increase educational opportunities for the youth of the barangay
and contribute to the decongestion of the annex school. Moreover, it will assist in achieving the national
standard of 45:1 student-classroom ratio which is a contributing factor in the delivery of quality
education.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has launched a nationwide financial literacy program for public
school teachers together with the Department of Education (Department of Education) and Banco de
Oro (BDO) due to the high levels of personal debt incurred by many of the public-school teachers. This
spreading issue on teacher's money management triggered the researcher to study about the financial
management of the teachers in Baybayin National High School.
METHODS
The researchers used the descriptive correlational method of research with a questionnaire as data
gathering instrument. The statistical tools employed to interpret the data were frequency, percentage,
and weighted mean. The respondents of the study were the 23 teaching personnel of Baybayin Senior
High School.
RESULTS
Based on the results most of the respondents is at age ranging 20-30, female, teacher II and have
monthly individual income ranging from 20,000 to 24,999. The results implied that needs are considered
by the respondents with a composite mean of 2.70 while wants and demand is quite considered by the
respondents with a composite mean of 1.91 and 1.67 respectively. The results implied that there is no
significant relationship between the financial management considerations to the respondent's profile.
DISCUSSIONS
It was found that though teachers mainly focus on buying their needs in managing their finances most
of them do not invest for their future retirement and health. This implies that there is a need to educate
the teachers with regards to financial literacy and financial planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The research aimed to find out if financial stability is a factor that can affect the career choices of
incoming senior high school students of Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial National High School
Academic Year 2017-2018.
METHODS
The qualitative study was conducted among 10 Grade 10 students sampled through purposive sampling.
Survey forms with Likert Scale followed by "Why's" or "How's" questions were distributed among the
respondents. The questionnaire was consisted of questions regarding their financial stability, their career
choice, if it is affected by their financial stability, and in what way it was affected.
RESULTS
The respondents initially wanted to take courses that are too expensive for their financial status, such as
tourism and law; however, they answered that they have also prepared a second choice, which is not
only less expensive than their first choice, but also requires lesser years of study, which can therefore
lessen expenses of their family. Some expressed interest in taking up a technical-vocational course to be
able to apply to degree-holder level jobs after senior high school graduation. The respondents indicated
that besides applying for various scholarship programs, they will also start looking for part-time jobs
while studying in order to help them raise money for their desired course.
DISCUSSIONS
Career choice of incoming senior high school students is definitely affected by financial stability. The
respondents were willing to change their career choice when they think that their initially preferred
choice is too expensive. It implies that the education system of the country is not very supportive of less
financially stable students.

Development of an Interactive Strategy
Cathlyn R. Abion & Nhelven A. Corpuz, Alitagtag Senior High School

(Adviser: Wilhem Siscar)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Most students in the Philippines do not have the knowledge to apply first aid when an emergency strike.
Consequently, Alitagtag Senior High School is known to be a "Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management-driven" school. Thus, there is a need for its students to be knowledgeable enough to
execute first aid in times of disaster or emergencies. The researcher therefore proposed to develop an
interactive strategy to address this problem.
METHODS
This study is qualitative research, done through interview and focus group discussion in determining the
awareness, problems, and strategies experienced by the Grade 12 students in Alitagtag Senior High
School in intensifying first aid awareness.
RESULTS
Data reveals that the level of awareness of the students in terms of first aiding is critically-low based on
the evaluation of the participants. The participants also stated that there is not enough facilities or
evacuation areas provided by the school since the school is just starting to build its facilities. All of the
participants agreed that E-games will surely be an effective and efficient way to solve the problem in
first aid awareness. They stated that E-games catch the interest of students nowadays and they will also
enhance their hand-eye coordination and cognitive learning skills while playing E-games.
DISCUSSIONS
The results emphasized the low level of awareness of the students regarding first aid. This implies that
there is a need for innovative and also interactive approach to teach students the basic life-saving
procedure.

Schools today are facing numerous complex challenges - from working with an increasingly diverse type
of learners, to meeting the rigorous academic standards as stipulated in the Philippine Professional
Standards for Teachers (PPST). This study was conducted to examine what factors influence learners'
success and at the same time the factors that made others unsuccessful.
METHODS
The study employed a descriptive study approach. The respondents were fifteen (15) teachers who
completed the course and two (2) teachers who were not able to complete the course. Survey
questionnaires and interview guide were used to gather the data needed in the study. This action
research primarily used frequency and percentage statistical tools.
RESULTS
The study revealed that regardless of the respondents' teaching profile, the desire to undergo continuous
learning was evident. The study also showed that respondents have varied motivations in participating in
the online course. Some are for job-related improvement and others are for self-actualization. On the
other hand, there are also factors identified to hinder the program completion like the bulk of readings
and requirements to be made and the internet signal problem.

Achievement
Elizabeth Dizon, San Jose Community High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The study aimed to determine the effects of flipped classroom strategy on student achievement in K-12
grade 8 mathematics. The main concerns of the study were to strengthen the baseline knowledge of the
students in order to level up National Achievement Test results and prepare them in 2019 TIMMS. The
researcher suggested a plan to initiate it with Grade Ten students to enable the school to have higher
mean score in Mathematics.
METHODS
The study employed Pre-Experimental One Group Pretest-Posttest research design which determined a
positive gain in the achievement level of students who underwent flipped classroom strategy. Purposive
sampling was employed in selecting the student-respondent of the study which composed of 49
students in Grade 8 Rizal. They were selected because the intervention requires an internet access and
strong bonding relationship which enable the whole class to view the lesson and come to class prepared
for the next day's lesson.
RESULTS
Achievement level of the students was affected by the flipped classroom strategy as supported by the
data presented. The data showed a pretest of 7.39 and the post-test of 17.02. It shows a mean gain in
the achievement level of 9.63 and the percentage of increase is 130.31.
DISCUSSIONS
The result can be of great help in the future with the formulation of policy in making flipped teaching
strategy as to be implemented in the future. The findings corroborate with other studies not only in
mathematics but in other learning areas as well. The barriers in the implementation were addressed, like
the unavailability of the technology to the students. The study was treated as a tool for Continuous
Improvement Program (CIP) in our school. The researcher has utilized flipped classroom strategy in the
proposed Project 21st CEL (21st Century Learners).

Convergence of parallel mixed method design was used in the study. The researcher used researcher-
made questionnaire and a face-to-face interview with the subjects. Forty students and ten teachers
responded to a set of structured questions and semi-structured questions.
RESULTS
In the status of R in the SCOUTERS ROCK Agenda at San Pascual Senior High School 2, the school
implements research writing across different learning areas emerged as the to a "great extent" practice;
however, the school holds a local research compendium emerged as the "least extent" practice. Absence
of functional library as reference for literature review and lack of internet connection in school as
replacement in the absence of library turned out to be the strongly agreed challenges met in the
implementation of R in the SCOUTERS ROCK agenda on the other hand lack of encouragement from
teachers to write a research and lack of materials and printing support from the school are the most
disagreed challenges encountered.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results of the study, the researcher produces an action plan in order to uplift more the
implementation of R in San Pascual Senior High School 2.

Focusing on the Struggling Readers among Grade Four Pupils of

Luyahan Elementary School
Severa Eleponga, Department Of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Good readers are phonemically aware since they understand the alphabetic principle, thereafter apply
the skills in a rapid and fluent manner while possessing strong vocabularies and syntactical and
grammatical skills. On the other hand, difficulties in any of these areas can impede reading
development. The children who are most at risk for reading failure enter kindergarten and the
elementary grades without these early experiences.
METHODS
Ten (10) Grade Four pupils who belonged to struggling ones were the subjects of this study. The oral
reading test results revealed the names of the participants of this study. This study used the qualitative
approach with unstructured interview and researcher's observation as tools for data collection. The
struggling readers were chosen from the oral reading results. An analysis of the factors that affected the
reading competencies of struggling readers was also done. Narration and analysis of data gathered
qualitatively were done objectively by the researcher.
RESULTS
The level of reading competence of struggling readers among Grade Four pupils of Luyahan
Elementary School has been observable as well as the Factors that Affect the Reading Competencies of
Struggling Readers. The Proposed Reading Intervention Material has been very helpful especially to
those struggling pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the interview parent participation in the education of their children needed to be reinforced
since it has been a factor in the motivation of their children. Very interesting reading materials are what
they need and the understanding and concern from their teachers. A Reading Intervention material was
proposed by the researcher.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study aimed to find the extent of K-12 pedagogical approaches applied in students learning by
Mathematics teachers in junior public secondary schools in the division of Batangas City. The
pedagogical approaches included cooperative learning, discovery learning, guided discovery, and
problem-based learning. It also looked into the profile of the respondents which were age, sex,
educational attainment, civil status, years of teaching experience, and seminars and training workshops
attended/participated. This was used to examine significant relationships in the extent that said
pedagogical approaches were applied when respondents were grouped according to profile variables.
METHODS
The researcher used a survey questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument. Data were analyzed
using frequency counts, weighted means and chi-square.
RESULTS
Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that most of the Mathematics teacher of junior
secondary public schools in the Division of Batangas City respondents are female, 31-40 years old,
married, with Masters units teaching for one to ten years and have attended seminars in the division
level. Pedagogical approaches in terms of cooperative learning, discovery learning, guided discovery and
problem- based learning are always used by Mathematics teachers. Educational attainment and seminars
attended have significant relationship with the use of cooperative learning as a pedagogical approach
DISCUSSIONS
It was recommended that the proposed activities may be validated and evaluated for the possibility of its
execution to address the constraints encountered by Mathematics teachers. Future researchers also need
to expand the scope of the study in order to have more reliable result.

Forms and Functions of Hedges in Student-Written Editorial Articles
Gretzel Lindog, Department of Education - Batangas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In recent years, there have been wide interest in investigating hedging devices in journalistic articles.
Because hedges were found to be essential medium in communication in this genre, researchers have
focused on different sections of the newspaper to gather information about the predominant use of
these devices in establishing claims and statements. Content became the interest of most researchers in
order to give merit in its linguistic and rhetorical features and to stretch attention on meta-discourse
forms and functions.
METHODS
This study examines the forms and functions of hedges through descriptive qualitative-quantitative
approach. This approach provides effective frequency distribution of forms and functions of hedging
devices to be able to draw implications in the student-written articles. Specifically, this study is based on
a set of English data composed of 15 student-written editorial articles, both the main editorial articles
and opinion columns.
RESULTS
Results revealed that modal auxiliary verbs are the most frequently used hedged forms in student-written
editorial articles. Also, it was shown that student-journalists mostly write editorial articles with complete
responsibility of their insights and opinions based on their use of accuracy-oriented hedged functions
rather than writer-oriented hedged functions.
DISCUSSIONS
It is fairly indicated in the present study that the fifteen chosen articles had varied distribution of the
forms and functions of hedges.

Education
Glenda Taiza & Bolbok Integrated National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Test construction in the academe is a highly technical process governed by the principles of assessment,
measurement and evaluation of students' learning outcomes. It is in this connection that the researcher
is prompted to conduct a study on classroom assessment practices of public secondary school teachers
specifically in the Mathematics subject.
METHODS
Descriptive method of research was used and the respondents of this study include 53 teachers of
Mathematics in public secondary schools in the Division of Lipa City. A researcher-made questionnaire
is the main data gathering instrument.
RESULTS
The most frequently utilized type of assessment is that of formative, while the most notable purpose of
assessment is for decision making. The teachers follow closely the steps and processes in constructing
teacher-made tests, specifically in terms of content, organization and writing of test items. They follow
the principles of measurement and evaluation in test construction, specifically in constructing multiple
choice type of test, completion type and matching type. Good classroom assessment practices tend to
improve the students' test and academic performances. The extent by which the teachers follow the
principles of measurement and evaluation relates significantly with the improvement on the students'
test and academic performances.
DISCUSSIONS
The teachers must select the classroom assessment method to be used for a particular lesson and type of
learners and use varied teacher-made test objectively. The school administrators and supervisors should
conduct school-based seminar-workshops more often to improve the teachers' skills and competencies
in the use of different teaching methods to varied classroom situations and in improving skills in test
construction.

Education and Development in the Selected Schools in Tabaco City
Division
Rosalie Brigueles, Department of Education - Tabaco City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Numeracy, is a proficiency which is developed mainly in mathematics, but also in other subjects.
Research studies have established that the critical years in a child's life are from birth six years of age.
For example, if an experimenter empties liquid from a short wide container into a tall thin container, a
five-year-old typically thinks the
quantity of liquid increases, whereas a ten-year-old realizes that the quantity of liquid stays the same.
Successful efforts to promote fact fluency depend on ensuring a child is developmentally ready.
METHODS
The descriptive method of research was used in this study.
RESULTS
There is no significant difference between the performance level of the grade one and pupils who
undergo the early numeracy intervention program. It was found out that in this activity on adding and
subtracting combinations, 84.76% of the pupils were reading on this fundamental operation in
mathematics, while 15.24% of the pupils are not ready.
DISCUSSIONS
This part of the study discusses the conceptual framework which explains the problem of readiness
among the learners. The input illustrates the aspects of tools used by the grade teachers in assessing the
readiness of the grade one pupils which includes the following domains the Gross motor, Fine motor,
Receptive/Expressive language, sensory discrimination and seriation/classification, Concept formation,
Numeracy Reading readiness. Construction and visual-motor integration.

Community Partnership in Tangway Elementary School
Evangeline Leynes, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Engaging all members of the school and community of Tangway Elementary School, suggests that
parents, teachers, and school head must take part in fostering responsive education through a
sustainable school-community partnership. Parents are given considerable freedom to express their
opinions regarding education, whereas in other schools, teachers are apprehensive of parental
interference, however, a change in attitude is taking place as parents and teachers learn to work together
and to encourage collaboration between the school and the community.
METHODS
This study made use of descriptive method. The respondents involved in this study were 13 teachers, 65
parents, and principal of Tangway Elementary School. These groups were asked to answer
questionnaires that were tabulated and used in the analysis and interpretations made.
RESULTS
Teacher openness and understanding of the surrounding community is important in order for
partnerships to be successful. Schools can be more successful with community involvement and
engagement than if functioning in isolation. In the later year, the school was able to acquire a hand
washing facility sponsored by Yamaha Motors, Lipa City. Up to now, with the help and collaboration of
other stakeholder like Lipa City Water District, the school was provided with potable drinking fountain
facility through school-community partnership.
DISCUSSIONS
There are a number of initiatives being done in Tangway Elementary School in order to meet
educational needs. However, despite all those efforts, teachers and other key participants are equally
important in supporting the collaborative vision of the school in obtaining desired outcomes. Likewise,
there is strong evidence that strong partnerships between a school and the surrounding community can
lead to improved academic achievement of students as well as other positive outcomes for the family.

City
Glemecia Malaluan, MAED
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study attempts to determine the achievement of intermediate pupils in fundamental Mathematics
and the factors that affect their achievement. The study specifically seeks to answer the following
questions: 1. What is the level of Mathematics achievement of the Grade VI students of Public and
Private in Lipa City as reflected based from the teacher-made Mathematics test? 2. What is the
foundational number competencies of the aforesaid students? 3. To what extent is the assessment of the
respondents on the factors that greatly affect their achievement in fundamental Mathematics in terms
of: individual factors, instructional factors, Classroom management?
METHODS
The researcher used the descriptive correlation method of research to determine the relationships
between and among the selected variables considered in relation to the students' mathematics
achievement.
RESULTS
The following results were obtained: 1. There was a high significant difference between the performance
of the respondents from private school and public schools in terms of the results in teacher-made test
and foundational competency test. 2. There is a significant relationship between the performance of the
students in the teacher-made test and foundational competency test. 3. A significant relationship also
exists between the assessment of the respondents on the factors affecting their achievement in
Mathematics and the results of their performance in the teacher-made test and foundational competency
test.
DISCUSSIONS
The mean as the measure of central tendency is a weak measure to describe the performance of the
students. With a large standard deviation, it can be concluded that there is a big variation on the scores
of the respondents. There were high scores that were able to pull up the lower scores, ending up with a
very satisfactory result. Similarly, students who assessed the factors affecting their performance in
Mathematics tend to have higher scores as well in the teacher-made test and foundational competency
test.

Calamba West District
Rowena Magyaya, Siranglupa ES
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Education systems in many developing countries are being decentralized. Authority for making
decisions for school improvement is devolving to the school-level which puts unprecedented pressure
on school principals to be accountable for the quality of education provided by their schools. The level
of responsibility principals must assume is further compounded by the pressures for improved
education quality that already exist in most developing countries.
METHODS
The researcher was able to randomly select the twelve (12) respondents out of twenty-four (24)
principals as the first group of respondents; and one hundred ninety (190) respondents out of 384
teachers in the whole district as the second group of respondents.
RESULTS
The results on the assessments of the respondents on principle-centered educational leaders observed
terms of organizational development, Teachers' Instructional Development, Facility Development
interpreted as "highly observed”.
DISCUSSIONS
1. Since there is a highly observed principle-centered educational leaders among principals, it is

recommended that principals should continue to evaluate their own leadership performances through a
regular conduct of interview, dialogue with the subordinates to include analysis, and further study of
gathered feedback and data about their leadership capabilities.
2. The principals should continue to maintain good relationships among their teachers through the
observance of good channel or flow of communication.
3. The principals should line up some religious developmental activities for their teachers like
recollection or retreat to include counseling and spiritual guidance.
4. The principals need to establish good rapport among subordinates, developing positive school climate
and keeping their roles as good leaders at all times.
5. The enhancement program presented herein is highly recommended for implementation. Evaluation
of the implementation should be kept and maintained for future use and as reference for future
development.

Fundamentals of Mathematics Booklet (Funmalet) as a Remedial Tool

for Enhancing the Mathematics Performance of Low Performing E.I.M
Students
Fatima Caro, Southville 1 Integrated National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Students who struggle with mathematics mostly show slow or inaccurate recall of basic arithmetic facts,
simplifying fractions, handling square roots and exponents and operations on integers. This led the
researcher to conduct a remedial program and developed the "Fundamentals of Mathematics Booklet"
(FunMaLet).
METHODS
The researcher used the quasi-experimental research design, called the One-Group Pretest-Posttest
Design. T-test was used to test the significant difference between pretest and posttest and Cohen’s to
determine the impact of FunMaLet as a remedial tool in enhancing the students' mathematics
performance. Thirty-nine (39) low performing EIM students of Southville 1 Integrated National High
School (S1INHS) were the participants of the study. Mathematics teachers from City Schools Division
of Cabuyao and the LRMDS Coordinator of S1INHS validated the FunMaLet in terms of objective,
suitability, content and adequacy. The validators resulted into common agreement as to the different
criteria set for the course content validation.
RESULTS
The developed remedial tool was guided by the four criteria, namely: objectives, suitability, content and
adequacy. Validators agreed on the objectives and suitability while fairly agreed on the contents and
adequacy of the remedial tool. Overall, they agreed on the course content of the FunMaLet as a
remedial tool. This remedial tool has a large effect in enhancing the Mathematics performance of the
low performing EIM students.
DISCUSSIONS
The results imply that the FunMaLet enhanced the Mathematics performance of the low performing
EIM students. The unique features of this study were enhancing the fundamental Mathematics skills of
low performing EIM students on Operations of Function and improving their academic performance in
General Mathematics.

Marvin Saludo, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This undertaking revealed the career track preference and the factors which are influential in the choice
of career among senior high school students with the hope of developing an effective career planning
program for them.
METHODS
This descriptive correlational research made use of a questionnaire to determine the career preference
and the factors affecting the career preference of Grade 12 students at Malvar Senior High School.
Stratified random sampling technique was applied to determine the sample from a population of 258
Grade 12 students enrolled under the academic track. The statistical procedures used to interpret the
data were frequency and percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, and chi-square.
RESULTS
Most of the preferred careers of the students are the "popular" or well-known careers in the area of
Engineering, Commerce, and Military Training, while the least favored are careers related to Spiritual
Vocation, Environment, and Agriculture. Data also revealed that the careers suited to the respondents
from the NCAE results are also the careers which are popular among them. The respondents consider
economic factors, careers related to their favorite subject and talent, location of future work, financial
status of the family, and the school they plan to enroll in college as a primary concern in deciding for a
career in the future. The influence of other people does not affect the respondents' choice of career.
DISCUSSIONS
Economic viability is considered by students in deciding for a career, thus popular or in demand courses
may attract big number of enrollees which may result to a surplus of misfit graduates. Peer factor is least
considered by the respondents in choosing a career; students nowadays exercise independent decision
making when it comes to choosing their career. There is a significant relationship between the preferred
career of the respondents and the suited career for them as revealed by their NCAE results, thus NCAE
results may potentially determine students' career choices.

Frustration to Instructional)
Emelita Gabayno
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
At the start of SY 2016 -2017, Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil IRI) Pre-Test in English was
administered among 192 pupils (Grades 2 to Grade 6) of Muzon Elementary School, Department of
Education Naic District, Division of Cavite. Results revealed that seventy-two (72) pupils are in the
frustration reading level, and among them are thirty-one (31) grade three (G3) pupils. It is the primary
objective of this endeavor that by the end of the same school year, through the interventions made, 60%
to 70% of these 31 G3 pupils in the frustration level be levelled up to instructional level.
METHODS
Using the result of Phil IRI pretest in English, different interventions were applied to implement the
project. Continuous Improvement Program of the school "Reading Buddies" was adopted. The 12:30
reading habit was put into practice, under the supervision of the G3 teacher. Twice a week, during lunch
breaks, each of the other six (6) teachers in different grade levels adopted five (5) G3 pupil beneficiaries
to be assisted and helped. Reading remediation after classes was reinforced. Day-to-day formative
evaluation was given after every session. Post Test was administered; results were analyzed, interpreted
and compared (Pre-Test against Post-test).
RESULTS
Out of 31 grade three pupils with frustration reading ability, nineteen (19) of them (61.29%) have
levelled up to instructional level. Moreover, these pupils have been observed to have developed
increased interest in reading.
DISCUSSIONS
The results have proven that constant monitoring on the reading activities of the pupils helped them
level up their reading abilities. There will be less difficulty in teaching them because they can
comprehend better. Further enhancement of this project implementation should be done not only in
grade three, but in all grade levels as well.

Based on the findings of the intervention material, the use of pictures, modules and illustrated reading
materials were very effective and meaningful. It enhanced the retention rate, ability and skills of pupils
with a mastery level of 83.32 percent in identifying adjectives, degrees of comparison (kaantasan ng
pang-uri), forms of verbs (aspekto ng pandiwa), cause and effect (sanhi at bunga), synonyms and
antonyms (salitang magkasingkahulugan at magkasalungat), and identifying main idea (pangunahing
diwa) and giving inference from the story read (pagbibigay hinuha batay sa kuwentong binasa).
DISCUSSIONS
On the basis of the findings and conclusions, the author recommends teachers to utilize pictures,
modules and illustrated reading materials in enhancing the ability in identifying adjectives, degrees of
comparison, forms of verbs, cause and effect, synonyms and antonyms, giving and identifying main idea
to increase pupils' retention; and to improve pupils' performance in teaching Filipino for the concrete
conceptualization of the lessons. It also recommends the conduct of the same intervention in other
subjects to validate the results of this study.

Gadget and Skills in Solving Word Problems Involving Proportion
Imelda G. Zamora, Rizal Elementary School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The result of the National Achievement Test conducted last School Year 2014-2015 of the Grade VI
pupils of Rizal Elementary School met the 75% proficiency level in Math but competency on solving
word problem involving proportion posted 65% which affected the performance of the pupils in the
subject. This prompted the proponent to conduct an intervention - the Guiding Activities in
Developing Graders through Electronic Technology (GADGET). The effective use of GADGET can
help support learning, and that it is especially useful in developing the higher-order skills of critical
thinking, analysis, and scientific inquiry of pupils.
METHODS
Descriptive comparative research design was used in this action research. The gathering of data was
started by giving the pupils a pre-test with 40-word problems, then gathering the pre-test scores data.
After the pre-test was given to the class, GADGET was employed in solving word problem. After the
implementation of the intervention, similar test was given to the same number of pupils to find out if
there is significant change in their scores. Descriptive-comparative research design was utilized using
Mean, Standard Deviation, Paired Sample t-test and Eta2 to test the significant effect of the
intervention.
RESULTS
Based on the interpretation of statistical data, the scores of the respondents before the implementation
of GADGET were low. But after the implementation of the intervention their scores were moving
toward mastery. This indicates that the intervention significantly improved the mastery level of pupils
along the selected competency in solving word problems involving proportion.
DISCUSSIONS
The results depict that the use of GADGET may be adopted as one of the teaching strategies in solving
word problems.

Game-Based Assessment and Students' Academic Achievement in

Mathematics 9
Floro A. Belano
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Assessment plays an important role in improving the teaching and learning outcome of every learner.
Most of the time, paper pen test as a formative form of assessment in every lesson gives negative
feedback among students. They find it boring and stressful which results to lower achievement in
Mathematics. Thus, this study determined the effect of Game-Based Assessment in the academic
achievement of the learners.
METHODS
Experimental research design was employed in this study using the Solomon Four Group design. The
subjects of the study were the total population of one hundred seventeen (117) Grade 9 students; two
(2) sections under the control group and two (2) sections under the experimental group. The z-test and
analysis of variance (ANOVA) were utilized to determine the significant difference of the control and
experimental groups.
RESULTS
Findings revealed that the level of academic achievement in pretest score both in control group and
experimental group were almost the same with lower achievement. However, the posttest scores of the
four groups revealed that the experimental groups were at the higher achievement. When students are
exposed to GBA, their Mathematics achievements are better and higher compared to a paper and pen
test.
DISCUSSIONS
The results showed that students had increased their academic achievement in the posttest because the
game was attractive which captured their attention, motivated them in answering every question in the
game leading to higher mean gain score compared to the students who were exposed to paper and pen
test.

Game-based Student Response System: Its Effect on Students' Attitude

in Biology
Teodorico Dalisay, Teacher III (SHS)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Student Response System (SRS) is a computer software and mobile application that is used by both
teachers and students as a form of formative assessment. One form of SRS that is used specifically for
gaming purposes is a game-based student response system (GSRS).
METHODS
A quasi-experimental design was used in the study to determine the effect of using GSRS on students'
attitude in Biology. An attitudinal survey that consists of 31 Likert-scale instruments was adopted to
measure the attitude of students towards Biology. Eighty-one (81) students from the two Grade 8
Biology classes participated in the study. Two groups were classified into traditional group with forty-
one (41) students whose academic performance was assessed using conventional formative assessment;
and GSRS-mediated group with forty (40) students was assessed based on their academic performance
using mobile devices.
RESULTS
The result of the study showed that the overall attitude of the GSRS-mediated group (xÌ… = 3.620) and
the traditional group (xÌ… = 3.409) had a significant difference with a p-value of p = 0.007 at 0.05 level
of significance in favor of the GSRS-mediated group. In addition, the gain score of the GSRS-mediated
group (xÌ… = 0.253) and the traditional group (xÌ… = 0.178) had a significant difference with a p-value
of p = 0.039 at 0.05 level of significance in favor of the GSRS-mediated group.
DISCUSSIONS
The data showed that the GSRS-mediated group has higher mean value in the posttest attitude and
attitude gain score than the traditional group. These mean values revealed that there is a significant
difference in the attitudes of the two groups. Hence, the utilization of game-based student response
system significantly affects the students' attitude towards learning Biology.

GandaKaTeh?: The Effects of Wearing Make up on the Confidence

Level of the Students at Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial National High
School - Integrated Senior High School
Angelo Louis Arquiza, Elmer Manzanilla, & Ralf Tuffer Carandang,

Department of Education, ETTMNHS
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Among students in Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial National High School - Integrated Senior High
School (ETTMNHS-ISHS), it has been an observation that most of the senior high students often use
makeup whenever they go to school, hang out with their friends, or socialize with their peers. In line
with this, the researchers have decided to conduct a study to know if wearing makeup has an effect on
the confidence level of the students.
METHODS
Quantitative type of research was utilized in the study. The researchers used Descriptive-Ex Post Facto
as their research design. They conducted a focused group with 75 Grade 12 students as their
respondents at Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial National High School-Integrated Senior High School. A
survey questionnaire was distributed and the data gathered were then quantitatively analyzed.
RESULTS
Based on the survey result, many students who participated in the study strongly agreed that wearing
makeup has an impact on their confidence level. Most of them said that there is a positive change on
their confidence level whenever they are wearing makeup and a negative impact when they don't apply
any make up.
DISCUSSIONS
As seen on the result, most students rely heavily on the make-up products to increase their self-
confidence level. This primarily might be the result of extensive exposure to social media and
advertisements of numerous beautifying products. This study recommends that schools and other
educational stakeholders provide awareness and seminars on the development of self-confidence
including self-esteem among secondary students.

Gender Analysis of Department of Education Policies Issued in the

National Level
Maribel Richelle Bayot, Department of Education - Cavite
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The National Policy on gender and development will seek to transform inequitable gender relations.
This study seeks to review existing Department of Education national policies in promoting gender
mainstreaming in education.
METHODS
Mainstreaming Evaluation Framework Organizational Assessment Questionnaire, taken from Philippine
Commission on Women, focusing on policy and people was used in this research. It was modified and
validated by experts. This tool has two parts: The first part has ten (10) descriptors in order to
determine the extent of Department of Education's evidence in interpreting GAD in its policy issuances
on the national level for the last three years. The second part includes 13 descriptors that identifies the
status of Department of Education's issuances in ensuring employees as gender responsive and
supportive of the department's gender mainstreaming efforts. Inter-rater reliability, through the
guidance of GAD experts, was used in order to classify policies according to the given descriptors.
RESULTS
Department of Education seriously took the challenge of maximizing institutionalization of GAD in its
policies specifically on its order, memorandum and circular issuances from 2015-2017. The number of
issuances of Department of Education highlight people as mechanism in GAD mainstreaming. In order
to realize GAD integration, assessment of people reveals the inconsistent GAD mainstreaming efforts
of the department.
DISCUSSIONS
Generally, Department of Education has promising efforts in GAD mainstreaming. Perhaps, last 2017
may be the year for Department of Education to rise from level 2 to level 3. This should be sustained in
the next years to come.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The paper aimed to assess Gender and Development (GAD) practices of public elementary and
secondary schools in Department of Education Batangas City in terms of policy, people, enabling
mechanisms, and Programs, Activities and Projects (PAPs); to find out if there is a relationship among
its indicators; and to describe how schools implement GAD programs and propose GAD
projects/activities to improve the current practices.
METHODS
The researchers employed the descriptive method of research. The instrument used to gather data was
the adapted GMEF Organizational Assessment Questionnaire developed by Philippine Commission on
Women (2016). The participants of this study were the 97 public elementary and secondary school's
GAD coordinators.
RESULTS
The level of GAD practice of Department of Education Batangas City in terms of the four key
assessment areas namely Policy, People, Enabling Mechanisms and Programs, Activities and Projects
(PAPs) is Level 2 which is described as Installation of Strategic Mechanisms. There is no significant
relationship between Policy and People, Policy and Enabling Mechanisms, and Policy and PAPs. It was
revealed that there is a need to revitalize its efforts on Gender and Development in the entire school’s
division. Year round and various opportunities to recognize gender roles and eliminate gender
disparities among learners are not yet fully intensified.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings suggest more intensive GAD activities to raise the level of GAD practice in the Division
of Batangas City. There is a need to capacitate the school personnel and enforce compliance to GAD
mainstreaming policies.

Gender and Sexuality on Selected Carlos Palanca Memorial Award-

Winning Short Stories and One-Act Plays
Apple Cay C. Nista & Jennifer Satumbaga, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The main purpose in doing this research is to trace the strengths as well as the misgivings of the female
characters in the stories chosen in order to see how feminism, binary oppositions, and sexism have been
depicted in the stories. They aim to illustrate how the display of women's want to be independent and
shape their lives and the people around them slowly deconstructs patriarchy in modern Filipino
Literature.
METHODS
In identifying the gender and sexuality in the selected short stories and plays, the researchers used
descriptive qualitative research especially the documentary analysis. Literary analysis will apply with the
following criteria: gender stereotypes, female characters depicted in the cited literary works in relation to
the following phases: Feminine, Feminist and Female, in addition to the patriarchal viewpoint of the
Filipino society which may undergo deconstruction and reconstruction in the text and context of the
cited works.
RESULTS
Women were treated less like human and more of a property. There is no hiding the truth that the
Philippines, pretty much the same as half of the world, is a patriarchal country where men are believed
to be the head of the family. On the other hand, the female characters in selected literary pieces showed
the idea that women and men are equal in society. They manifested it through their words and actions
when they proved that women can protect themselves in their own without the help of men.
DISCUSSIONS
Female characters deconstructed patriarchal structure and belief that men are more superior and more
powerful than women. This research enlightened the idea that men and women are equal in terms of
identity, rights, roles and strengths.

Gender Bias on Skill and Workbook Used by English Teachers of Grade

III in Dagatan Elementary School
Evelyn Malaluan & Felicidad Evangelista, Department of Education - Batangas

Province
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study determined the level of gender bias in skills workbooks used by Grade III English teachers in
Dagatan Elementary School. Specifically, this study assessed the issue in terms of textual contents and
visual representation using the 16 indicators presented by Cohen et. al. Further, the researchers
developed gender sensitive instructional materials based on the findings.
METHODS
The qualitative descriptive analysis is primarily carried out using four elements of the skills workbook
contents. These are: words (e.g. names, nouns, pronouns, attributes, roles etc.), sentences (e.g. dialogues
between two males vs. two females, firstness or order of mention in sentences), stories (e.g.
centeredness of the story, leading characters) and pictures (e.g. the individual and their activities) as
different units of analysis. The researchers follow the four C's of Cohen: coding, categorizing,
comparing, and concluding. A total of 629 pages from skills workbooks were manually analyzed based
on the identified categories. Based on the result, the level of gender bias is average towards male. The
researcher designed an activity book and flashcard to attain a gender sensitive instructional material
appropriate for Grade III pupils.
RESULTS
Upon the conduct of the study, the researchers found-out that the Skills Workbook (SWB) used by
Grade III English teachers of Dagatan Elementary School are highly biased towards male in terms of
professional occupation, level of priority, and centeredness in the picture. Moreover, the
workbook/activity book developed by the researchers are gender sensitive and can help to promote
gender development in the mind of Grade III pupils.
DISCUSSIONS
The results revealed that the activity books/workbooks issued to pupils are gender biased. It is very
important to start raising awareness of gender equality concerns among children. Utilization of
Workbook that promotes gender development like "Building English Towards Excellence (BETE)
which was created by the authors can serve as a tool to resolve gender bias.

of Education - Cavite
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
In the recent years, there have been concerns on the students' attitude pertaining to the three subject
areas: English, Science, and Mathematics. The purpose of this study is to explore on gender differences,
as to how it relates to the attitude of students in the three specific subject areas.
METHODS
The study was conducted through convenience sampling. Using grounded theory, approximately 86
Grade 11 Academic and Tech-Voc students from Kaytitinga National High School, Alfonso, Cavite
were chosen conveniently to be in this study due to ease of accessibility, and meeting inclusion criteria.
IThis research applied a 42-item questionnaire focusing separately on different subject areas: English,
Science, and Mathematics. Pearson's Correlation and coefficient were applied to find out how the
attitude of the students in the said subject areas relate to one another.
RESULTS
Based on the students' answers to the survey questionnaires, it was found out that gender differences
vary in the three subject areas: English, Science, and Mathematics. In terms of English competency,
there is a very favorable response for both genders, with the mean of 3.69 for male and 3.97 for female.
When it comes to Science competency, there is also a favorable response for both genders, with the
mean of 3.50 for male and 3.73 for female. Similarly, in Mathematics competency, a favorable response
is evident, with the mean of 3.41 for male and
3.60 for female. In addition to this, the findings reveal that there is a significant relationship between
English and Math competencies. However, in Mathematics, there is no significant relationship found.
DISCUSSIONS
The result of the research indicates that the students' perspective in Mathematics is consistent regardless
of their gender. Moreover, when it comes to English and Science, gender has something to do with how
they perceive the subject areas.

Gender Differences in Attitude and Problem-Solving Strategies of

STEM Students
Rachel Anne Alamo, Philippine Normal University / Tanza National

Comprehensive High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Over the years, literature shows that males are believed to be dominant in mathematical problem solving
as compared to females. However, Hyde (2017) in her study about the new trends in gender
mathematics performance, revealed findings that males and females perform similarly.
METHODS
The study used mixed method research design. Quantitative treatment of data is used to identify the
perceived attitudes and values of the participants towards Mathematics while descriptive qualitative
design was utilized to determine the inherent gender differences in problem solving between males and
females.
RESULTS
The study found out that males are perceived to be more confident, enthusiastic, and eager in asking
and answering questions during Mathematics class as observed by their peers and teacher. Males have
dominant behavior in conceptual, procedural, problem-solving skills, and strategies and communication
skills.
DISCUSSIONS
The results of the study qualify the idea of the male attitude dominance toward Mathematics in the field
of STEM. Furthermore, males also exhibit ascendancy in the following problem-solving skills:
procedural, problem-solving skills and strategies and communication skills. The analyses of the
mathematical process still reveal distinct gender differences in attitude and problem-solving strategies
among STEM students.

gather the desired data and an interview that provided better understanding of how gender differences
influenced the achievement of the pupils in reading. All the questions in an interview were phrased in
English. Participants' names were replaced with pseudonyms and confidentiality was guaranteed.
RESULTS
The results of Oral Reading conducted for three consecutive school years implied that girls performed
better in reading than boys. It was consistent in three consecutive years. Girls recorded the greater
number of independent readers than boys. The results of the study indicated that there were gender
differences in reading that influenced their achievement such as: boys did not enjoy reading as much as
girls, boys enjoyed reading different materials from girls, girls had a more positive attitude towards
reading than boys, girls were more likely to see themselves as readers, boys were less likely to use
reading resources than girls, boys were more likely to describe reading as "boring", boys' activity level
and their inability to sit still for long enough to enjoy reading, and perception that girls mature more
quickly and can therefore concentrate more and demonstrate more perseverance.
DISCUSSIONS
The result of the oral reading test conducted at Subic Elementary School attributed the reading gaps
between boys and girls. It seemed that attitudes of boys towards reading were the causal factors of
poorer results in reading as compared to girls.

Schools Division Office Of Imus City
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This present study determined if there are gender equity or biases in the school's curriculum, textbooks,
teacher classroom practices, physical facilities, programs and projects in the three Stand Alone Senior
High Schools (SHS) of the Division.
METHODS
The respondents of the study were all TVL Teachers, Master Teachers and School Heads in three
standalone SHS of the Division.

Top three most pressing causes of gender inequity are: (1) no strong foundation of gender and
development awareness when it comes to classroom management and instruction; (2) absence of
Gender and Development expert; and (3) beliefs that make gender inequity seem natural. Capacity
building on Gender Development on Curriculum, Learning Materials, Physical Facilities and Programs
and Projects is the most effective strategy to close the gender inequity gap.

The results demonstrate the need: 1) to design a comprehensive Gender Development Program that will
be contextualized and institutionalized in the Division; 2) to include gender equity in the design and
review of curriculum, design of learning materials, physical facilities and programs; 3) to examine the
role that schools and teachers can play in addressing the above-mentioned inequities in the SHS TVL
track; 4) to mandate the Human Resource Office to design and lead the Gender Development Program
and include the program as one of the key result areas in the Individual Performance Commitment

Mariedel D. Averion, Department of Education - San Pablo
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study shows the relationship between gender sensitivity-related factors and students' self-efficacy;
and the difference in the students' level of self-efficacy when grouped according to their gender.
METHODS
To carry out the study, a survey questionnaire was made and answered by selected students. Data were
then gathered and tabulated with the use of Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient and t-
test. The relationship between gender sensitivity awareness and self-efficacy; and the difference in
student's level of self-efficacy according to gender were interpreted.
RESULTS
Gender sensitivity related factors like bullying, stereotyping, isolation and gender difference are not
related to students' self-efficacy when it comes to self-awareness, self-approval and self-direction. Male
and female differ when it comes to students' performance as to work values, academic activities and
extra-curricular activities. Male and female students both value one's unique individuality or personality;
and they both accept themselves as they both want to achieve their dreams and goals in life.
DISCUSSIONS
The result shows that the family can create a deeper understanding about the total being of their
children. Schools should promote programs and activities regarding gender sensitivity awareness among
students; and teachers may undergo trainings on how to guide students properly with gender sensitivity
factors.

Elementary Schools in Calatagan Batangas
Maria Karla Masangkay, Department of Education - Batangas
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study focused on the Gender-Responsive Basic Education (GRBE) practices and desired to find
out the responsiveness of schools in terms of school facilities and structures, policy and plan
formulation, benefits of GRBE and gender-responsive curriculum among schools in Calatagan District.
METHODS
The researcher used qualitative research approach to assess the extent of responsiveness of different
schools as regards to GRBE practices. One hundred forty-nine (149) teachers from eight (8) selected
elementary schools from the district were used as the respondents of the study. Data gathered through
questionnaires were statistically analyzed using Paleontological Statistics software package for Education
and Data analysis (PAST version 3.16) and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to identify the
significant differences among the practices of the schools.
RESULTS
Results of the study revealed that school facilities and structure, policy and plan formulation, benefits of
GRBE and gender-responsive curriculum were well-recognized by the schools as important factors in
promoting GRBE to learners. A gender and development model were formulated as a framework to
continually strengthen GRBE practices among schools and consistently promote gender sensitivity
among basic education stakeholders. The GAD Model showed four different areas which may
contribute to the holistic implementation of Gender-Responsive Basic Education in elementary schools
in Calatagan District. These practices provide a well-rounded implementation of GRBE policy of the
Department of Education in the district of Calatagan. Through this model, schools could review or
assess their existing programs in terms of GRBE indicators and formulate varied gender-related
activities suitable for all learners.
DISCUSSIONS
The results display the demand to utilize the formulated GAD model toward the adherence to the
GRBE policy. This will help in guiding schools to continually strengthen GAD programs to produce a
well-rounded learner. Although results revealed that the over-all practices on gender-basic education in
the District of Calatagan is practiced at high extent, it is still a need for schools to produce and enhance
different gender-related programs.

Gender-Sensitive Instructional Materials: Basis for Kindergarten

Instructional Material Designs
Jeovanie Tariman, Department of Education
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate and use gender-sensitive instructional materials for
kindergarten. Specifically, it sought answers to the following issues: gender-sensitive instructional
materials presently used by kindergarten teachers; guidelines being followed by kindergarten teachers in
developing gender-sensitive instructional materials; and kindergarten instructional material designs can
be developed for gender-sensitive instructional materials development. As a result, the study prompted
to find out how teachers develop gender-sensitive instructional materials that can address issues and
promote gender awareness in the teaching-learning process.
METHODS
The study employed both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data were gathered through
a rating scale which has been accomplished by the respondents regarding their evaluation on gender-
sensitive instructional materials. In order to determine the guidelines being followed by the teachers,
interview has been done which was triangulated with the data from actual observation of instructional
materials.
RESULTS
The teachers in our district perceived two of those indicators of gender-sensitive instructional materials
in kindergarten as "often applied", namely: the illustrations used should provide non-stereotypes and
portray women in active; and the content is free of terms deemed insulting and degrading by women
themselves. This means that there were some parts of their instructional materials like illustrations used
and terms of content which seemed to perpetuate stereotypes.
DISCUSSIONS
The results show the need for more emphasis on gender education. Gender equality education should
be understood as not only eliminating gender biases but also how the teacher integrate experiences and
needs of the learners into all educational practices to enable them to overcome traditional gender
relations through education.

General Education of Grade 11 Students in Relation to Confidence and

Creativity as Perceived by Faculty and Students of Balayan Senior High
School
Roger De Torres, Padre Garcia National High School
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Students often view courses that fulfill a general education requirement as unnecessary or not related to
their interests or major. They do not see the relevance of such courses and sometimes contribute
minimal effort to understanding the material and making connections to other fields of study, including
their own academic major. This study may enlighten the students to revitalize the significance of these
subjects to their lives. Also, this study may be a basis of the teachers' improvement of their teaching
delivery of the general education subjects.
METHODS
The descriptive design with the quantitative approach of research was employed in this study. The
researcher utilized a self-constructed questionnaire as the major tool in gathering data. One hundred
Grade 11 students and 13 faculty members teaching general education in Balayan Senior High School in
the SY 2017-2018 were the subjects of the study. A semi-structured interview was also undertaken in
order to have deeper understanding of the gathered data and the topic being studied.
RESULTS
Student and faculty-respondents perceived general education subjects to enable the students to become
proficient and effective in communication such as in writing and in speaking. Moreover, the student-
respondents agreed that general education gave them the capability to investigate and analyze
information, materials, problems and texts using a variety of techniques; while the faculty-respondents
attested that general education promoted their students' higher level of textual and visual
comprehension.
DISCUSSIONS
The findings suggested that general education teachers reported to be using instructional strategies in
enhancing the communication skills of the students. Besides, the general education teachers were
reckoned to engage the students in discussion and activities that enhance their analytical thinking,
problem solving, and textual, and visual understanding.
