Abstract

This study probed parental engagement in the learning needs of the learners with Down syndrome (DS) in their homes in Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines, during this new normal education. Parents of a child with DS were the primary participants of this study. Merriam’s case study approach was utilized as a research design. Multiple data sources were considered, such as interview transcripts and observation notes during the actual interview. The results show that parents exerted more effort to ensure their children's educational success amidst the pandemic. The findings of the study reveal parents' efforts to catch the attention of their children during the delivery of learning at home. Although parents struggled to extend their children's limited attention span, they managed to find suitable strategies to keep their focus, like using different reinforcements and utilizing videos from social media platforms to teach their children. It is recommended that parents or guardians of children with DS consider pieces of training on how to effectively facilitate their children's learning process. Special Education (SPED) teachers must guide the parents on how to facilitate learning at home together with the school principal, who could initiate teaching pedagogy seminars and training for parents. The seminars and training would help parents and guardians facilitate their child's learning process.

Abstract

This study investigated academic club activities in which participants engaged, examined the benefits and challenges they faced, and developed their coping strategies.  Participation in academic clubs can enhance students’ personal and academic development, fostering skills such as developing self-confidence, increasing the sense of belongingness, and acquiring new knowledge. However, these benefits can be accompanied by challenges, including time conflicts, delayed commencement, and plenty of contributions. This study employed a qualitative Merriam model case study method to explain the experiences of BSED Science major students participating in academic club activities and the benefits, challenges, and coping strategies they use to deal with the challenges encountered in participating in academic club activities. The methodology used in the study included interviews with 15 club members and 2 participants from the club officers, with triangulation. Data collected from each interview were analyzed in different categories. The findings revealed that the participants can benefit club members and officers. These are the following benefits: developed self-confidence, increased sense of belongingness, and acquired new knowledge. BSED Science major students also encountered challenges such as time conflict, delayed commencement, and considerable contribution. With these challenges, club members and officers devised three strategies to deal with them. The following strategies are used: setting priorities, patiently waiting for the event to start, and settling all contributions during clearance signing. Club officers and members are flexible and adaptable in any circumstances they encounter during their academic club activities to avoid unnecessary banter and conflicts
