Abstract

Through qualitative study and semi-structured interviews, the researchers explored the learning experiences of Kalanguyan teachers when schools were locked-down during the COVID-19 pandemic in Malico Elementary School, San Nicolas, Pangasinan Philippines. The results revealed the learning gaps, experiences, sacrifices, and challenges encountered by the pupils and teachers. Utilizing Colaizzi’s method, the themes generated from the interviews conducted were presented to the participants and field experts to confirm their validity and authenticity. The themes generated were the Knowledge gap in science, social science, numeracy, and reading, after-work teaching sacrifices outside the classroom, language being ‘fluid’ for kindergarten and grade school pupils, the ability of pupils being compromised during the pandemic, module no hero, no Kalanguyan is left behind, guidance from parents-plus and minus-is a source of active-passive support, uniting learning and culture through curriculum and programs, yes is the key to the workplace on and off pandemic, and assessing technology for Kalanguyans using culture as lens. The study also conducted strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threat (SWOT) analysis. The findings will serve as basis for extension activities which will be headed by Pangasinan State University and collaboration of Department of Education (DepEd) and stakeholders that encompasses range of activities aimed at supporting the community’s educational needs.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve students' collaboration skills on virus reproduction material by using digital posters to apply the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model. Qualitative methods were used to analyze data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation in class X of one of the public high schools in Serang City, Banten. Students were tasked to create a digital poster due to group work, where they collaborated to identify the stages of the lytic and lysogenic cycles in viral reproduction. The results showed that the PjBL model improved students' collaboration skills, including communication skills, responsibility, and mutual respect for opinions. Most students have shown good collaboration skills, although some are still passive in the discussion. Teachers and students also faced obstacles, such as a lack of commitment from some group members. Thus, implementing PjBL using digital poster media effectively builds collaboration skills, although further support is needed to ensure that all group members are actively involved. This research suggests using innovative media and methods to optimize collaborative learning in the classroom.

Abstract

Revision of the Policies, Standards, and Guidelines in the offering of graduate education in the Philippines necessitated curricular innovations particularly in integrating research in graduate courses. This study aimed to introduce and propose STRAMERS Model for utilization in science education by graduate schools in local colleges and state universities in the Philippines. The requirement via this model at the end of a semester is a systematic review output or SYRO which was content analyzed in two stages, i.e. first for its general features as an IMRAD article to evidence feasibility and to describe the raw skills of graduate students in writing a SYRO and second for its features relative to the PRISMA 2020 Updated Guidelines to evidence its adherence and to describe the opportunities for improvement in this and in succeeding SYROs. An acceptability test for both users and expert validators was conducted. Results showed that the SYROs have manifested the adherence to format of academic publications and its basic elements to adhere to latest review models which leads the researcher to the conclusion that the use of SYROs could be an alternative mechanism in integrating research in science graduate courses in response to curricular innovations brought about by CMO No. 15, s. 2019 and recommending the utilization of the STRAMERS Model in implementing this innovation. Further, prospective users rated the Model with 4.4 level of acceptability which means very highly acceptable. Furthermore, expert’s insights on the Model reveals its novelty in the field of publication hence was recommended for adoption among graduate schools in the Philippines because of its unique features as well as ability for continuous syllabus refinement.

Abstract

The demand to prepare future science educators for national board examinations necessitates teacher training institutions to assess the licensure competence of pre-service teachers. In the case of the Philippines, the Licensure Examination for Teachers or LEPT has new competencies, which have not been fully assessed on the perspective of pre-service teachers. In this, the researcher assessed and compared the self-reported competence of alumni (a, n=38) and ongoing pre-service teachers (o, n=43) of a large state university in the Philippines. To do this, the researcher developed a survey-questionnaire with contents based on the Enhanced Table of Specifications or TOS for LEPT which was first implemented in March 2023 in the Philippines, the survey was conducted during the 1st semester of S.Y. 2023-2023. Results revealed that the pre-service teachers (n=81) have high level of competence for the LEPT. Further, the level of competence of alumni is comparable to those of on-going students. However, a significant difference was found in competencies related to Challenging Activities in Science, Assessment Tools, Basic Biotechniques, and Waves and Optics, where alumni demonstrated a significantly higher competence. To provide continuity for the findings, the researcher proposes a review program for Filipino pre-service teachers based on the findings. Furthermore, the researcher recommends that a content-competency alignment will be conducted between the Enhanced TOS of LEPT and the latest relevant issuances on Policies, Standards and Guidelines (PSGs) for Education degree programs issued by the Commission on Higher Education. Moreover, a curriculum mapping is recommended between the Enhanced TOS and the MATATAG Curriculum for Science. To provide an international perspective, the researcher recommends an analysis of licensure competencies for teachers among ASEAN countries.

Abstract

Assessing how could an educator catch up with the evolving world necessitates the need to assess the skills he or she possess for such a future. This study sought to assess the level of competence of graduate science teachers in the Pangasinan State University across 17 future skills. Also, it aimed at correlating the level of competence of science graduate teachers across gender, age, and academic levels. The study was carried out using a cross-sectional descriptive survey under the quantitative research design. The quantitative data garnered were analyzed using descriptive statistics via SPSS version 25.0. The results of the study show very high competence in four future skills (communication competence, reflective competence, Initiative and Performance Competence, and cooperation competence) and high competence in the remaining thirteen future skills. Also, based on the computed p-values there was no significant relationship observed in all of the 17 future skills in relation to gender and academic levels of respondents. All future skills remained the same across age levels except Doctoral-level graduate teachers who had higher levels of self-competence than master-level graduate teachers. The results of the study suggest that future skills may be consciously integrated across the postgraduate curriculum of Higher Education Institutions to help develop industry-driven graduates who are prepared for the world of work.
