Abstract

In order to assess the value and effects of an implemented institutional extension program, it needs to be evaluated after some time. This study aims to investigate the level of program outputs and impacts of programs in an adopted community of a local college. It also attempts to discover the relationship between the level of program outputs and the impacts of the programs economically and socially. The investigators used a descriptive-correlation research design among conveniently selected respondents in a small suburban community for the survey. This study also adapted and modified an instrument and used SPSS 23 for the statistical calculation of the study. The investigation revealed that all of the community extension program outputs by the institution got "very satisfactory" remarks from the respondents. As for the economic and social impact of the programs of the community extension services, it also obtained a "very satisfactory" response. Statistical inferences also revealed a moderate positive correlation between program outputs' level with the program's economic and social impact and the community extension services. The investigators provided relevant recommendations for sustainability and support based on the study results.

Abstract

This study investigates all the challenges and factors affecting the learners' of East Tapinac in terms of their reading performance, especially those difficulties related to alphabetic knowledge, reading comprehension, emotional responses to reading, as well as the effectiveness of teaching strategies employed by the students' teachers of Gordon College, BSEd English. The mixed-method approach adopted for the present study understands such difficulties with a representative sample of young readers by merging qualitative observations and interviews with the learners. The study suggests that the various challenges confronting the struggling reader demand a multi-modal approach with frequent reading practice and bespoke treatments. These findings add to making more effective literacy programs so that children can become proficient readers.

Abstract

This study seeks to evaluate the community water tank project started by the Community Extension Service Unit (CESU) of Gordon College in Olongapo City, Philippines. A group went to the area to inspect the water tank project during the month of March 2023. They gathered data by observing and documenting the water tank and its surroundings as well as interviewed the chieftain and locals. Based on the documentation, observation, and interviews, they did not give the water tank project priority in terms of proper management and maintenance. The lack of proper knowledge in water tank maintenance contributes to this finding in the community. Based on this premise, the researchers propose a manual for maintaining the water tank for future use.
