Abstract

Learners’ diversity and individuality demand contextualized and inclusive education anchored on their diversified approach, catering to their academic, social, and cultural contexts. Responding to that reality, the present study explored the dynamics of culturally-responsive teaching (CRT) in basic and higher education in the Philippines as an input for the proposal of an inclusive learning plan for novice educators. Using the descriptive qualitative approach of research, twelve novice educators were purposively selected to participate in the semi-structured interviews, wherein the results were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study highlighted CRT as an essential practice that fosters inclusive practice, enhances learning by valuing cultural knowledge and respecting different student histories. The research emphasized the necessity of embedding culturally-responsive approaches like improving community engagement and personalizing learning to fire up relevance and access to learning. As part of strengthening the role in induction programs for novice educators, embed an inclusive learning plan in these programs to develop the skills novice educators need to create supportive and culturally sensitive learning environments.

Abstract

Background: In today's educational environment, 21st-century learners excel with diverse, contextualized, and technology-driven instructional materials.Aims: The study assessed the impact of developed Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) on Grade 7 students' learning of Asian History in a secondary-level pilot school, using an experimental one-group pretest-posttest design.Methods: Initially, all students were pre-assessed using a 30-item teacher-made test. The three least mastered competencies were identified and targeted using LAS, involving 32 students who required intervention. After the validation of the LAS by three experts, pilot testing began. The activity sheets were implemented during the weeks focused on the least-mastered topics. A posttest was administered to compare academic performance before and after the intervention.Results: Student performance improved after LAS implementation, from 72.25 (did not meet expectations) to 88.91 (very satisfactory), supporting the intervention's effectiveness. The study recommended the broader use of LAS across the Social Sciences and other learning contexts via action research, with findings to be shared in professional development sessions, such as Learning Action Cell (LAC) meetings or in-service training (INSET).Conclusion: The study confirmed the effectiveness of the developed LAS in improving Grade 7 students’ academic performance in Asian History, thereby accepting the alternative hypothesis.
