Abstract

This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach within a case study design to explore the motivations and study habits of consistent Dean’s Listers majoring in BSEd Science. Guided by Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2017), the research uses in-depth semi-structured interviews and Merriam’s analytical method to examine internal motivations and learning strategies. Eight participants, selected through purposive sampling, had consistently achieved Dean’s List status for at least three semesters. Thematic analysis revealed that academic validation, personal satisfaction, and scholarship incentives drive their performance. Common study habits include note-taking, early morning or late-night study, and group collaboration. Findings underscore the importance of intrinsic motivation and a supportive learning environment in sustaining academic success. While the study is limited to BSEd Science majors in one region, it provides meaningful insights into student achievement and offers practical implications for educators and policymakers aiming to strengthen science education.

Abstract

Learning English syntax is crucial for language learning. This qualitative study explores the experiences of English major students in learning syntax. The study utilized a case study approach incorporating the Sharan B. Merriam technique and data triangulation method. Through the interviews with the twenty English major students enrolled in one of the private schools in Pagadian City, categorization was utilized to categorize and identify the sub-categories that emerge. The findings reveal that students engaged in activities such as sentence structure identification, sentence tree diagramming, board activities, assessment-based activities, and interactive activities. The primary challenges included difficulty with parts of speech identification, struggle in sentence structuring, challenge in syntax rule application, and problems with complex sentence structure. To cope, students relied on memorizing and familiarizing, studying independently, collaborating in groups, and seeking guidance from teachers. While students found syntax challenging and time-consuming, they acknowledged its importance in language proficiency. The study highlights the need for supportive instructional strategies to enhance student engagement and comprehension.

Abstract

Pronunciation is crucial as it plays a huge role in expressing ideas and avoiding communication misunderstandings. However, some students face challenges with pronunciation, especially in ESL (English as a second language), and several studies have noted that phonetics can help address pronunciation errors through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Considering that no prior research has explored the accuracy level of BSED-English majors in transcribing IPA, therefore, this study evaluates the accuracy of BSED-English majors in assessing their accuracy level in transcribing the International Phonetic Alphabet, given their exposure to the IPA symbols in one of their courses. The study used a quantitative descriptive research design, and it was conducted in a private educational institution in Pagadian City, Zamboanga Del Sur, with 39 participants from the BSED-English program. The validated instrument consisted of 41 words (consonants, vowels, and diphthongs) that they needed to transcribe into IPA symbols. The results revealed that transcription accuracy across all categories “did not meet expectations,” with consonants (15.17%) higher than vowels (11.57%) and diphthongs (13.67%). Common transcription errors were identified, and the result shows a significant difference in the accuracy levels across the three categories using the one-way ANOVA, therefore rejecting the hypothesis. Thus, the findings can be effectively examined through the Perceptual Assimilation Model, in which learners assimilate unfamiliar sounds to sounds they already know in their native language, and the lack of familiarity and practice in IPA transcription, which explains why BSED-English majors face common errors when transcribing a word.
