Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between the Learning Action Cell (LAC) level and teachers' professional competence. It utilized quantitative correlational design to assess and analyze the data of elementary teachers and how the LAC empowers and capacitates them on the various techniques and methodologies to be competent enough to deliver effective teaching facilitation. The 619 teachers respondents from nearby three (3) Schools Divisions were assessed on how LAC training every year improved their competencies. The finding proved that the more LAC sessions conducted, the higher the teacher’s competencies gained. The quantitative correlation denoted that the quality of implementation of the Learning Action Cell training based on the study result was very high. It visibly manifested in the total impact of LAC training is enhancing and empowering teachers' professional competencies. This study proved that it is an essential component of the education system as they provide a platform for collaboration, professional development, problem-solving, and continuous learning among teachers.

Abstract

Over the past few years, a reading problem still exists despite the different reading programs and projects implemented all over the Philippines. None of the implemented programs tells what teachers, parents, and school administrators must do to uplift students’ reading skills. As stated in the DepEd Order no. 001 s. 2024, the Department’s current initiatives aim to improve learners’ academic performance, especially considering the low reading proficiency levels indicated by national and international large-scale assessments. These results highlight the urgent need to address learning gaps and enhance reading skills for all students. This study aimed to understand the experiences and dilemmas of non-readers in basic education in the Schools Division of Calamba City. The study applied a qualitative research design and followed the grounded theory research process. The researcher conducted face-to-face interviews to gather information on six (6) pupils from Grade 4 from two different public schools in the Division of Calamba City. A face-to-face interview was conducted to gather data from the participants over two weeks. The first round of interviews per participant lasted for 12-15 minutes and was recorded using a mobile phone.  A second round of interviews was conducted with the participants to determine whether any patterns in their demographic profile could impact their reading abilities. Our findings showed that parental involvement and teacher support were the most crucial aspects to overcome absenteeism, a problem that mostly hampered reading performances for non-readers in context. Thus, Educational leaders must provide the support system needed by schools and communities to meet the expectations of providing literate learners. Developing countries like the Philippines need a holistic approach from the community, school, and education leaders to fully establish the desired goals of the new MATATAG agenda of the Department of Education.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors affecting the board performance of Bachelor of Science in Fisheries (BSFi) graduates in the fisheries technologists licensure exams in a specific region of the Philippines. The impetus for this research arose from observed variations in exam performance among graduates, prompting an examination of educational and institutional influences on success. The study used a purposive sampling technique to gather data from 138 respondents across State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) who took their first licensure exam from October 2018 to October 2023. A validated online survey questionnaire assessed academic performance, teaching methods, curriculum, faculty qualifications, library resources, laboratory facilities, and student characteristics. Logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze the relationship between these independent variables and licensure exam performance. The findings of this study are of profound importance, as they reveal strong correlations between faculty qualifications and exam outcomes, emphasizing the need for continuous professional development. Moreover, the study identifies improved laboratory facilities and a robust curriculum as critical factors contributing to student success. These insights have the potential to significantly impact stakeholders, informing them about essential areas for intervention and improvement. Ultimately, they aim to elevate the educational experience and licensure performance of BSFi graduates, thus supporting their professional trajectories in the fisheries sector.

Abstract

This study examined the relationships between mathematical literacy and creativity, as well as between mathematical fluency and mathematical creativity, among senior high school learners. It used a quantitative approach and a descriptive-correlational design. The study's respondents were 200 senior high school students from Laguna State Polytechnic University - Los Baños Campus. The research instruments utilized were standardized scales that assessed the respondent’s mathematical literacy, fluency, and creativity. The statistical tools used were the weighted mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation, and linear regression. The findings revealed a strong and significant relationship among the respondents between mathematical literacy, fluency, and mathematical creativity. This indicates that the increase in their mathematical literacy is positively related to their ability to demonstrate originality, flexibility, and elaboration when solving higher mathematics problems. Their ability to make sense of numbers and apply that understanding flexibly and productively when solving problems greatly contributes to their producing ideas that are unique, valuable, appropriate, and meaningful in mathematics. Mathematical literacy and fluency significantly explain the creativity in mathematics among learners. The student’s capability to create and justify a unique solution is greatly contributed to by their ability to construct, use, and interpret mathematics in a range of situations, as well as their ability to work swiftly and accurately under pressure while maintaining focus in solving higher mathematics problems.
