Abstract

This study evaluated teachers' perceived stress and anxiety levels. This study put into open and addressed the gap among the perceived stress and anxiety levels of the participants of the study as an input to an intervention program for the 39 teaching personnel of one of the leading university extension campuses in the province of Pampanga for the academic year 2021-2022. The study has 2 phases: the quantitative and the qualitative phase. This study was assessed through a 5-point type-Likert questionnaire, which is the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (1983) PROMIS Health Organization (PHO), and PROMIS Cooperative (2012). The Sequential Explanatory Approach was used in this study. In the quantitative data analysis of the results, the mean, frequency, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation were used. Outliers were then identified and used as variables in the qualitative process. For the qualitative part, interview transcriptions were included, and transcribed data were extracted and labeled to units of meaning through key point coding. Codings with similarities were grouped into concepts that were analyzed to form themes. There were 10 teachers as participants to collect qualitative data, an open-ended interview was used. Findings revealed that the participants’ perceived stress contributed to low self-esteem and life irritations. Also, it revealed that participants encountered worry, nervousness, and tension; all of these symptoms brought about by anxiety. This study also revealed that there is no relationship between the demographic profiles of the respondents and their perception of stress and anxiety. Due to the positive result of the research, and the lack of stress and anxiety management programs in the institution, this study recommended a program that was formulated and then validated by the expert to provide reasonable practices and approaches to the stress and anxiety of the participants.

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate learning motivation and self-efficacy among seventh graders. The result of the findings was the low of confidence in public speaking, business writing, and the lack of interest in English culture, history and literature. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was utilized, involving 283 seventh grade learners from one of the schools in Cluster 1 Division of Pampanga. The result of the study showed that the respondents have low confidence in writing an English letter, are afraid of public speaking, and lack interest in English cultural content. On the other hand, they see English as a tool for their future when they seek jobs or travel abroad, and they also see English as their motivation to study hard for their future career. Furthermore, the study also discovered connection between the two variables. Learning motivation could result from the positive outcomes of the students' insight when it comes to English; they would motivate themselves to master English. Although self-efficacy will determine their beliefs about their ability to learn, these learning motivations and self-efficacy further contribute to improving the learning confidence of a student. Finally, the findings have significance for boosting confidence and improving the abilities of the learners. Providing opportunities for students to use English in supportive environments, making English learning relevant and engaging, and helping students develop positive self-efficacy beliefs about their ability to learn English should be the main goals of interventions.

Abstract

This study explores parents’ awareness and practices on solid waste management. It shows the significance of solid waste segregation for parental involvement and how it influences parents' attitudes and behaviors in a barangay in Magalang, Pampanga. The parents benefit from this study by learning more about the practices and appropriate segregation within their community. In this study, which involved 100 parents, a mixed-method sequential explanatory technique was employed. The results indicate that parents are not aware of the relevant laws about solid waste management and the sources of information about it. In terms of practices, parents are productive at disposing of, reducing, and recycling solid waste, but they don't reuse and segregate the solid waste that much. Overall, the results highlight how crucial proper waste sorting, awareness-building, community involvement, resourcefulness, and sustainability are to improve waste management. Although there are challenges, such as a lack of awareness and inconsistent efforts, recycling and waste removal are mentioned as sources of satisfaction. Parents also emphasize the need for proper segregation, solid waste management regulations, and providing incentives to promote sustainable behaviors in the barangay.

Abstract

The information gathered from one of the secondary public schools in Cluster 1, Division of Pampanga's senior high schools for the academic year 2023–2024, the study looked at how the students used their phones. The study investigates the relationship between students' screen addiction and factors such as stress levels, physical activity levels, and lack of self-control. Through this discovery, an intervention plan is being developed by the researchers to effectively encourage senior high school students to balance their mobile phone usage. Approximately, 643 senior high learners from both levels participated in the study on the value of mobile phone usage among mobile phone users (MPUs).A mixed-method sequential explanatory design was used. According to the study, students who use screens excessively are more likely to experience stress, obsessive behavior, and a loss of self-control, among other negative consequences. On the contrary, physical activity is associated with lower stress levels among individuals. This study reveals senior high school students experience anxiety, eating problems, and smartphone addiction, impacting their behavior and mental health. Furthermore, the study found a correlation between stress levels and exercise and screen addiction. This connection may be the result of the study emphasizing the detrimental effects of excessive mobile phone use on the physical and emotional well-being of seniors in high school. Additionally, this study recommends managing digital resources, encouraging everyday life contacts, and encouraging a balanced approach to cell phone usage. Thus, the study highlights the significance of finding a balance between personal health and technology used to enhance student's educational experiences and quality of life. To enhance their academic performance and mental health, students should be taught about the dangers of excessive mobile phone usage, encouraged to practice personal wellness, and given preventative steps to follow.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This sequential explanatory research aims to determine the academic risk-taking of tenth graders. The result of the study was the basis of the proposed intervention plan to improve their confidence, support, and motivation to take risks in their academics. A mixed-method sequential explanatory design was used, involving 103 tenth graders in one of the public schools in Cluster I Schools Division of Pampanga. The study revealed that fear of failure, lack of support and motivation, discouragement, judgment, and low self-esteem are why they are not taking risks in their academics. Moreover, the study discovered that this is why the participants struggle with their academic curriculum and have less interest in academics. It affects the participant's behaviour and the school's performance. Even though it is difficult to feel supported because of the environment that they have and how their relationships with the people around them actually work, the findings eventually shed light on the factors that contribute to the student's level of academic risk-taking. They need the support and motivation of their families and friends, encouragement to have high self-esteem and to be motivated to take risks without worrying about failure, and the willingness to take risks despite the difficulties that they may encounter so that they will achieve their goals of having good grades and boost their confidence to try new things beyond their capabilities. Therefore, the researchers made an intervention plan to address and improve the student's academic risk-taking behavior. Recommendations included providing better equipment, comprehensive trainings on crisis communication, news writing and cybersecurity, fostering organizational collaboration, and recruiting specialists. Finally, a Course Instructional Guide for Public Affairs Officers was developed and proposed for adoption and implementation to hone their effectiveness in promoting the PCG’s mission and functions.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the learning styles of the eleventh-graders and their manifestations in terms of their learning styles. The study utilized a mixed-method research design, namely sequential explanatory design, that involved 135 respondents for the quantitative phase and eight outlier participants selected for the qualitative phase based on their higher marks from the quantitative results. The study found that among the three learning styles, namely, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, and visual learning styles, the respondents preferred the visual learning style red among the three learning styles of the study. Also, the study findings found no significant difference between the sex of the respondents and the three learning styles. In addition, the study discovered the participants' manifestations and the utilization of various learning styles and approaches when it comes to their learning, such as studying at night, using search engines, and doing extracurricular activities to help them enhance their learning process. Finally, learning styles and strategies serve as pivotal tools for the students to be more equipped, practical, and efficient regarding their academic performance at school. Hence, students, teachers, and school administrators should be able to understand various learning styles and approaches. Also, future researchers should study the environmental factors that affect students' learning process.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the areas where proficient teachers struggle the most and the areas where they feel confident regarding influence in decision-making, instructional, disciplinary, parental involvement, community involvement, and a positive school climate. A mixed-method of sequential explanatory design was utilized, involving 70 secondary high school teachers in the Cluster I Schools Division of Pampanga. The study’s findings demonstrated that teachers are more comfortable and feel more competent and confident in areas like instruction and a positive school climate, where they have more direct control over the conduct and learning of their students. On the other hand, the respondents seemed to be reasonably confident in their ability to influence decisions made within the educational institution. This could be due to several factors, including their experience, relationships with other staff members, or participation in committees that make decisions for the organization. The study highlighted the importance of maintaining collaboration and support among educators, administrators, and the entire school community to foster an environment that values ongoing learning and effective teaching strategies. Lastly, this study emphasized how important teacher self-efficacy is in determining effective teaching practices, especially for experienced teachers. It also emphasized the importance of recognizing and providing targeted support for teachers' strengths to build their confidence and ultimately improve student achievement. The research suggests that schools should give priority to programs that increase teacher self-efficacy through mentorship programs, targeted professional development, and building a supportive school culture. These efforts will ultimately increase instructional effectiveness and improve the teachers’ overall confidence in teaching.

Abstract

This study explored academic anxiety and coping strategies among seventh graders in a public secondary school. It aimed to assess anxiety levels, identify causes, and examine how students manage stress. Using a sequential explanatory design, 61 students were randomly selected from 360 seventh graders. Results showed moderate anxiety levels, mainly due to peer noise, high expectations, peer pressure, and heavy workloads. Students coped through study planning, positive thinking, and support from teachers and family, while some resorted to avoidance, worsening stress. The study emphasized the need for schools to provide interventions like awareness seminars and structured support to promote healthier coping strategies. Teachers also play a key role in reducing stress by fostering a supportive learning environment. The findings contribute to discussions on academic anxiety and can help shape educational policies to improve students’ well-being and success.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the time management strategies of Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) students in one of the public secondary high schools in Cluster 1 Division of Pampanga, Philippines. It aims to understand their challenges, techniques, and the role of technology in their daily academic routines. Effective time management is important for balancing schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and personal responsibilities, yet many students struggle with prioritization and planning. A sequential explanatory approach is employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data. The study first collected responses from a standardized questionnaire to evaluate students' time management habits. Qualitative interviews with selected participants followed this to gain deeper insights into their experiences. The results showed that some students have good habits, like learning from mistakes, while many rely too much on their phones to keep track of time instead of using planners or calendars. Technology also causes distractions, leading to procrastination and stress. Students often struggled with last-minute cramming and lack of sleep. To improve time management, students should plan their tasks, break significant assignments into smaller steps, and limit their time on non-school-related apps. This study showed that better time management could help students feel less stressed and perform better in school.

Abstract

Student absenteeism was a persistent issue in education, affecting academic performance and future opportunities. This study explored the factors that influenced absenteeism among senior high school learners in one of the Public Secondary High Schools in Cluster 1 Division of Pampanga, Philippines. Using a sequential-explanatory research design, the study first collected quantitative data through surveys and then conducted qualitative interviews with selected respondents. Findings revealed that absenteeism was influenced by financial constraints, health issues, family problems, lack of sleep, overloaded academic activities, and unfavorable school environments. The study highlighted that student facing financial difficulties often missed school due to lack of transportation funds and daily allowances. Similarly, frequent illness and family-related responsibilities contributed to absences. Additionally, academic pressures, strict teachers, and peer conflicts negatively impacted students' motivation to attend school. The study emphasized the need for targeted interventions, such as financial aid programs, mental health support, and policy adjustments in school administration, to minimize absenteeism. Addressing these concerns could enhance student engagement, academic performance, and overall well-being
