Abstract

Second-language learners frequently encounter challenges when solving word problems that are not written in their first language. This study compares the mathematics word-problem performance of 5th-grade learners using English and Filipino as the languages of assessment. The study consists of 32 5th-grade students from a public elementary school in the Philippines. The lesson delivery focused on problem-solving learning competencies, delivered by an experienced teacher using English-language instruction. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the researchers utilized a researcher-made 30-item test comprising questions expressed in English and 15 questions expressed in Filipino. Each student responds to questions in both languages. It was administered at the beginning and the end of a week-long lesson. Analyses of test scores yielded no significant difference between learners’ performance in English and Filipino items; however, results reveal students’ very low competency in solving word problems. Nonetheless, this study supports the utilization of bilingual instruction and the inclusion of Filipino translations in assessments aside from offering research points for further explorations.

Abstract

Traditional weaving is a vital form of indigenous knowledge in Filipino culture. This study explores the livelihood, identity, and roles of elderly women artisans in Barangay Lalaguna, a small rural community in the Philippines. This also aims to inform heritage conservation, inclusive engagement, and culturally grounded community policies. Using a qualitative research design and inductive thematic analysis, the study examined the lived experiences of 16 elderly women weavers. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, with ethical protocols observed to ensure voluntary participation, confidentiality, and informed consent. Findings show that weaving serves both as a livelihood and as a cultural identity marker, deeply integrated into family life and rural community traditions. Although many women have passed on their skills to children or grandchildren, generational disinterest, migration, and modernization threaten the continuity of the craft. Despite these challenges, elderly women persist as cultural custodians and household economic contributors. The study supports the need for intergenerational learning programs, sustainable market access, and health support tailored for aging artisans. Beyond cultural significance, the findings underscore the importance of integrating weaving into cultural governance, heritage policy, and community development strategies to sustain the craft amid economic and generational change.
