Abstract

Imbibing reading habits is an essential skill necessary in the acquisition of knowledge, which is highly demanding in the life of every student in the academic environment. However, as modern technological resources keep on advancing, the reading habits of students are also changing with reading on screen. This study examined the reading habits of college sophomore students as affected by technological resources. The survey instruments, distributed to 254 college sophomore students at the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College, allowed the respondents to assess their reading habits in terms of reading hours, reading purposes, reading content, and reading attitude, with the technological resources as their tool. The data gathered in the study was analyzed statistically using the simple frequency count and percentage, mean, and Pearson correlation. The findings revealed that the college sophomores achieved an average level in their English subjects. In addition, it was found that the technology resources were moderately adequate to be used for reading among the college sophomores. Despite this, the results still showed that college sophomore students spent 2-3 hours a day reading, primarily in preparation for their exams. In addition, they read the available reading content moderately often, and they perceive a positive attitude towards the use of technological resources for reading. Furthermore, it was revealed that there is a significant relationship between reading habits and academic achievements. The study's findings will be used to improve instructional approaches and to launch e-reading initiatives in colleges.

Abstract

There is little investigation on the exposure of non-education part-time instructors to pedagogical experience in higher education and on practical support and opportunities for their professional development. This study examined the non-education part-time instructors’ level of competence in teaching tasks through the quantitative approach employing the descriptive-correlative design. The result showed that although there was a high competence in instructional preparation among the non-education part-time instructors, it found that there was moderate competence in constructing learning outcomes and in integrating them with learning activities. Similarly, the respondents also acquired a high level of competence in instructional delivery but showed a lower rating in the appropriate application of teaching methods during instruction. Although a very high competence in psychosocial support was recorded, results showed that their level of competence in assessment and feedback was high. Still, they were found moderately competent in employing various assessment techniques. In correlating these variables with the respondents’ profiles, the four areas of teaching tasks were significantly associated with formal training, and educational attainment was significantly correlated to instructional delivery. It concluded that there is a need to provide a support mechanism through the adoption of the expanded program for non-education part-time instructors.
