Abstract

The reading abilities of Filipino students have been a challenge for educators and policymakers alike. Despite government efforts to improve literacy rates in the Philippines, recent studies have shown that many students need help with reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and critical thinking skills. This research note examines the current state of reading abilities among Filipino students and potential areas for improvement. The poor reading abilities can be attributed to several factors, including a lack of resources and socioeconomic factors. However, there are identified potential areas for improvement, such as promoting early literacy programs, investing in teacher training, and developing reading materials that are culturally relevant and engaging for Filipino students. These findings have important implications for education policies and practices in the Philippines and for educators and researchers seeking to improve reading abilities among Filipino students.

Abstract

This study uses a descriptive phenomenology approach to explore the lived experiences of senior high school students during the era of social media trends. The sample for this research is high school students from North Palawan who actively follow social media trends and are generally aged 15-18 years. Purposive sampling was employed to choose participants, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather data. The interviews were documented with consent from the participants, and the researchers determined the level of data saturation. The data were thematic, and the experiences of the senior high school students were themed as follows: perceived benefits of social media use, emotional and psychological experiences of social media use, and effects of social media trends on academic performance and well-being. The study revealed that senior high school students perceive social media use as having several benefits, such as self-expression, sharing of information, and social connectedness. Social media use also has emotional and psychological effects, which can positively and negatively impact senior high school students’ well-being. Adverse effects of social media use can include cyberbullying, online harassment, and social comparison. The study also found that social media trends can significantly affect senior high school student’s academic success and general well-being. Therefore, it is essential to implement strategies that encourage responsible social media use and well-being among students to help them navigate the digital world and thrive academically and emotionally.
