Abstract

Upon entering senior high school, students choose a career track. School counselors/designates through the career guidance advocacy activities play a vital role in student’s readiness for related career decision. With this, the study determined the extent of implementation of the Career Guidance Advocacy Program and its relation to the actual career choice of the Senior High School students. A descriptive correlational research design using documentary data was utilized and conducted in 60 selected public secondary schools in the Division of Bohol which involved 1,200 Grade 11&12 students enrolled in school year 2019-2020; with 60 guidance counselors/designates and 60 homeroom advisers. The instrument used were adapted and modified by the researcher based on the guidelines stipulated in Enhance Basic Education Act of 2013; DepEd Order No. 41, series of 2015, and Developing for National Standard for School Counseling in the Philippines questionnaire by Clemeña 2010. The result showed that educational qualification, job description, years of experience, lack of training and resources and time constrained affect the conduct of the career guidance activities. For the actual choice of the students, the majority were not able to follow the NCAE result due to a lot of intervening factors. The test of correlation revealed that the career guidance activities did not directly relate with the choices of the students. Hence, areas for enhancement of the career guidance advocacy program were put forward.

Abstract

The experiences of English teachers in learning assessment in the modular distance learning modality provide valuable insights into the assessment trends and interventions needed to improve student learning. This study delved into the experiences of English teachers in learning assessment in the modular distance learning modality as a precursor to understanding the assessment trends and interventions in the Department of Education, Division of Bohol, and Tagbilaran City for the school year 2021–2022. A narrative research design was used to understand the experiences of ten (10) purposely selected English teachers from public schools in Bohol and Tagbilaran City Divisions in English assessment in the modular distance learning modality. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data, which was then analyzed using thematic analysis. Results revealed that the selected English teachers in Bohol have been using various assessment tools, methods, and feedback mechanisms during the implementation of modular distance learning. These include diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments and traditional and alternative assessment methods. Teachers have also used multiple feedback mechanisms, including written, online, in-person, and multimodal feedback. To maintain academic integrity, teachers have been providing clear guidance and support to students, avoiding bias and favoritism, and using specific criteria for evaluation. The study also found that teachers have faced challenges in ensuring academic integrity, overcoming logistical and communication barriers, and adapting to new instructional and assessment methods. However, they have demonstrated resilience by aligning their assessment tools with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC), utilizing innovative feedback mechanisms, and promoting academic integrity. The study concludes by recommending that teachers adopt a flexible approach to assessment, promote the alignment of assessment tools with the MELC, encourage multiple feedback mechanisms, promote academic integrity, and provide support and resources to teachers.

Abstract

The DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) is a nationwide initiative to provide public elementary schools with computers and other ICT equipment to enhance the teaching and learning process. However, the effectiveness of this program and its impact on the computer literacy level of school personnel have yet to be fully explored. This study attempted to fill this gap by examining the perceptions of the school personnel of public elementary schools in the Bohol Division of the Department of Education about the DCP implementation and its relation to their computer literacy level and the problems they encountered in using the ICT equipment in the school year 2020–2021. The study also investigated the influence of the school personnel's profile on their computer literacy level and the problems they encountered. Results revealed that the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) is highly effective, and the computer literacy of school personnel is very satisfactory. There is a significant relationship between the effectiveness of DCP and the problems encountered by school personnel. The computer literacy of school personnel is also significantly related to their years of teaching, specialized training attended, and age. The problems encountered by school personnel are significantly related to their age, gender, years of teaching, specialized training attended, IPCRF rating and DCP packages received. The study concludes that the implementation of DCP and the computer literacy of school personnel are congruent based on the data gathered, despite the problems encountered.
