Abstract

Enhancing teaching strategies in teaching electronics contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by promoting inclusive and effective learning. Additionally, Priority Area 15 of the EDCOM 2 Year 2 Report highlights the importance of innovative pedagogical approaches to improve engagement and academic per-formance in higher education. This study evaluates the effectiveness of differentiated activities grounded in the whole-brain approach in teaching 80 first-year Electronics Technology students at Valenzuela City Technological College, selected through purposive sampling. Mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-tests for correlated and independent samples were used for statistical analysis. Findings indicate that prior to implementing differentiated activities, stu-dents exhibited moderate engagement when taught using conven-tional methods. However, engagement significantly increased after the introduction of differentiated activities grounded on the whole brain approach. Pre-test scores for both control and experimental groups did not exceed 50%, indicating low student engagement and academic performance. In contrast, post-test scores improved sig-nificantly, confirming the effectiveness of differentiated activities grounded on the whole brain approach in teaching electronics. De-spite the frequent use of differentiated strategies, instructors at Valenzuela City Technological College often overlook students' pre-ferred learning styles, limiting the full potential of whole-brain in-struction. These findings emphasize the need for instructional ap-proaches tailored to diverse learning needs to maximize student engagement and academic success. In response, this study proposes a training plan for college instructors to enhance the application of differentiated activities grounded on the whole brain in teaching electronics education.

Abstract

This study seeks to gauge the degree of awareness of the VALPOLY Electronics Technology students on E-waste management. A total of 188 VALPOLY EST students enrolled in the academic year 2022-2023 were purposively selected to participate in the research. An adapted and modified survey questionnaire was used to assess VALPOLY EST students' level of awareness and the challenges they faced in managing their e-waste. Frequency counts, percentages, means, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Kruskal Wallis test were used for statistical analysis and data handling. All questions were rated on a 4-point Likert scale with a 0.5 level of significance. Based on the findings, "Electronic Components" is the most common e-waste generated by the 188 VALPOLY EST students, while "CCTV", "Oven, Heaters, Cookware, Blender", "Washing Machines", and "Printers" are the least common e-waste generated during their technical training in their technical subjects. The majority of students also preferred "Resell to junkshops as scraps" as an e-waste disposal strategy, while "Take to the collection Centre" was the least preferred. The EST students' level of awareness in managing e-wastes was assessed with a grand mean of 2.62, showing that the VALPOLY EST students are "Aware" of managing their e-wastes. There is no significant difference in the degree of understanding of VALPOLY EST students on e-waste management based on age or gender, but there is a significant difference based on year level. The assessment of the VALPOLY EST students' concerns in managing their e-waste received a grand mean of 3.42, suggesting that the VALPOLY EST students "Strongly Agree" that there are challenges in managing their e-waste. Input through a set of recommendations was made to strengthen the institution's policy on controlling and treating waste and electronic waste.
