Abstract

Speed reading is a requisite skill in reading comprehension among adolescent learners. It allows them to process information quickly and meaningfully. Since reading has been a major concern of the Philippine education despite efforts exerted for years, this study aimed to determine whether reading interest itself among adolescent learners correlates with speed reading, particularly grade 11 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learners from a private university in City of Koronadal, South Cotabato. A descriptive-correlational design was used in the study, utilizing an adopted survey questionnaire to assess the level of reading interest and a reading comprehension test to assess the speed reading of the respondents. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as weighted mean to describe the level of reading interest; an effective reading rate (EER) to assess speed reading; and a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) to determine the relationship between reading interest and speed reading. It was found that the level of reading interest of the respondents was high; their speed reading was classified as above average; and thus, there was a high positive correlation between the level of reading interest and speed reading among the respondents, signifying that efforts should be made as well toward intensifying love for reading among Filipino learners.

Abstract

The Youth Council, which the Filipinos call Sangguniang Kabataan (SK), represents youth in every smallest political unit in the Philippines called a barangay. In the body of research, the youth themselves provide direct insights into how SK delivers as an official government body. However, research on roles and methods for leading youth programs and services in Region XII remains scarce. To fill the existing research gap, the researcher conducted a descriptive study in barangays of a municipality in Region XII, describing the experiences of SK officials in planning, implementing, and evaluating youth development programs and services. The seven participants were purposively selected using the following criteria: be a present SK official in 2023-2024; be at least 23 years old; and have at least 5 years of experience in the SK governance. A semi-structured interview was utilized in collecting the data, and thematic analysis in discovering the main patterns and recurring themes. The findings revealed that SK leaders approach program planning in a deliberate, collaborative, and evidence-based way. Their leadership during implementation shows adaptability, ethical behavior, and systematic operations. The program evaluation process was action-oriented, strategic, and reflective. A conceptual framework was developed, and implications for youth governance, program implementation, and policy development were derived from findings. The study further highlights that youth leadership at the barangay level fosters inclusive, participatory, and sustainable local development, demonstrating that active youth involvement in planning, implementing, and evaluating community programs contributes directly to achieving SDG 11 by strengthening resilient, people-centered, and well-governed human settlements.
