Abstract

This study aimed to examine the lived experiences of multilingual students in online distance learning during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study utilized the qualitative research design - transcendental phenomenology and employed purposive sampling. The study participants were ten (10) multilingual students among Senior High School Students. A researcher-made questionnaire was reviewed by research experts and was used in individual interviews with the participants. The collected data through interviews underwent thematic analyses and triangulation. Based on the findings, the model was developed through thematic analyses, the Basic Instructional Strategies Aiming to Address the Problems of Multilingual Students in Online Distance Learning MODEL (in the Filipino language: Batayang Instruksiyong estratehiya na Naglalayong Tugunan at Alamin (BINTA) ang mga suliranin ng mga multilinggwal na mag-aaral sa online distance learning) was developed. The BINTA Model represents the lived experiences of multilingual students in online distance learning in terms of the themes that emerged: lack of interaction and communication, difficulty in understanding technical terms, consistency of internet connection, and effective communication. This implies that the model can help improve these students' educational outcomes and experiences by providing appropriate instructional strategies tailored to the needs of multilingual students. Educators can help mitigate these students' challenges and difficulties in an online distance learning environment. Through this, educators can help ensure that multilingual students can engage with the material, participate fully in online discussions and activities, and ultimately achieve their learning goals.

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 transcendental phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of seasoned faculty members in adapting to the learning behaviors of Generation Z (Gen Z) students. Ten higher education instructors from one state university, each with at least ten years of continuous teaching experience, were purposively selected as participants. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews designed to elicit in-depth reflections on their teaching encounters, challenges, and adaptive strategies in addressing the unique characteristics of Gen Z learners. Analysis of the interview data revealed three overarching themes: (a) the evolving learning characteristics and challenges of Gen Z students, (b) adaptive and engaging teaching practices for Gen Z learners, and (c) the effectiveness and responsiveness of adaptive teaching strategies. From these themes, the SAIL Metaphorical Framework was developed to conceptualize effective teaching for Gen Z learners, encompassing four key components: S – Student Characteristics, A – Adaptive Teaching, I – Instructional Effectiveness, and L – Learning Journey. The findings highlight those Gen Z learners’ short attention spans, digital dependence, and varied social behaviors necessitate adaptive, technology-integrated, and student-centered instructional approaches. Seasoned faculty members play a crucial role in bridging generational learning gaps through continuous reflection, innovation, and responsiveness to learner diversity. Ultimately, adaptive teaching emerges as both a pedagogical approach and a transformative process of professional growth, enabling educators to create meaningful and lasting learning experiences that align with the evolving needs of Generation Z students.

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.
