Abstract

Sociology through literature of Lewis Coser inspired this study to thematically identify social conditions of Bangsamoro people using the literary works published online. Four volumes were gathered form Bangsamoro Literary Review from 2021 to 2023. The method is qualitative and thematic analysis was used to interpret and dissect the gathered literatures. Graphics or non-text form published in the journal was not included. Two levels were employed in thematic analysis: macro level (Lewis Coser) and micro level (Carter & Carter). It was revealed in the study that among twenty themes at macro level, thirteen themes emerged namely: culture, social control, socialization, self and other, status and role, sex and roles, total institutions, urban sociology, poverty, family religion, collective behavior, and, deviance. At micro level, optimism/pessimism, ambition, betrayal/revenge, curiosity/apathy, and, doubt/certainly depicted in the literary works studied. The lived experiences of Bangsamoro as one region shared common dilemmas encountered by most Filipinos such as poverty, family trust, dreaming big, safety, love affairs, and city-life. On the other hand, specific conditions from the narratives of writers as Bangsamoro are the marriage agreement, identity role, discrimination, strict religious beliefs, and others. Furthermore, literature unveils social conditions which can serve as sociological data to explore social structures and dynamics. This leads to a more comprehensible image of the extant culture, behavior, and local knowledge on particular groups.

Abstract

One common dilemma in the Filipino language is the poor spelling skills among students. This is reflected in their written outputs and even posts in social media. Good spelling of words in a language is a manifestation of linguistic familiarization and even mastering its vocabularies. This action research study explored the spelling gaps among high school students. A primary goal is to find out the spelling proficiency problem as evidence of claimed poor spelling skill and an intervention is applied. A quasi-experimental method was used in this study. Pre-test and post-test were all administered to two groups of respondents. A word-paragraph discrimination strategy (WPDS) was used as an intervention for the experimental group. The basis for the standard spelling and rules was anchored from the Orthography of Filipino released by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF). The results revealed that in the pre-test, both groups gained poor results which support the observed poor spelling proficiency of the students. Meanwhile, the result in the post-test revealed a big difference for both groups. The control group did not meet significant progress while the experimental group had gained excellent results which signifies great improvement. The intervention used is proven effective and can help in improving the spelling proficiency of the students in Filipino. Strategy such as WPDS promotes a metalinguistic awareness of maintaining the standard of a language, consonantly, acclimating students in the conventions of spelling and vocabularies.
