Abstract

Since the pandemic has been over, a question come asking ‘Did online learning during the pandemic of Covid-19 enhance digital reading habits?’ Answering that inquiry, this study focuses on two questions (1) how are digital reading habits (preference and frequency) of EFL learners? And (2) Why does digital reading habit of EFL learners in that way? This is a qualitative descriptive study. This study collected data by administering written interviews via Google form to 24 informants. There are 15 questions asked to the 24 informants and after analyzing the data, the following findings are found. First, all EFL learners prefer reading digitally either for college assignments, articles, books, or novels. However, due to their preference, EFL learners are reading viral news on social media much more than other reading material. Related to the frequency, the highest frequency of reading is at the level of ‘seldom’ for all of the reading material. So, the digital reading habits of EFL learners are still in poor condition since their preference and frequency are far from accessing scientific articles and books digitally. Answering the second question of the reason for the EFL digital reading habit in that condition, the data analysis comes to the conclusion of learners’ bad digital literacy in accessing scientific articles and books digitally. From the interview questions and the informants' responses, there were found that even though the online learners had been for more than two years, the EFL learners’ digital literacy was in bad condition and so affected the reading preference and frequency in digital.

Abstract

This study examines the problems, effects, and coping mechanisms of Senior High School English Teachers in the implementation of the K to 12 Curriculums. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: 1. What are the challenges of Senior High School Teachers in terms of: 1.1 teaching methodologies, and 1.2 student assessment? 2. How do these challenges affect the teaching and learning process, particularly students in terms of:2.1. Student’s engagement; and 2.2 Student's English proficiency? 3. What coping strategies or interventions have teachers employed to address these challenges? The experiences of five English instructors from Cotabato City National High School-Rojas were analyzed using a qualitative phenomenological study approach. The findings showed that varying learning styles, resource constraints, and linguistic barriers had an impact on issues in pedagogical approaches, evaluation, and student participation. These obstacles were associated with reluctance, nervousness, and constraints in students' English competence, impeding classroom performance. Strategies such as project-based learning, blended learning, and motivational tactics were utilized to overcome these challenges. Recommendations encompass the implementation of differentiated education, the provision of sufficient resources for new pedagogical methods, and the enhancement of flexible learning methodologies to foster student participation. The study underscores the necessity of tailoring teaching methods to accommodate varied student requirements and utilizing new strategies to address issues in K to 12 Curriculum implementations.

Abstract

This study investigated the efficacy of a Validated Strategic Intervention Material (SIM), in enhancing fifth-graders' proficiency in Multiplying Fractions. A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was employed with 43 learners of Hamogaway Elementary School as the participants of the study, divided into control and experimental groups. The learners in the experimental group were taught using the SIM, while the control group received traditional instruction. The results revealed significant improvement in the experimental group's multiplication skills compared to the control group. Learners exposed to SIM achieved a substantially higher mastery rate (62%) compared to the control group (23%). Analysis of gain scores further supported this finding. Learner feedback regarding the SIM was generally positive. The learners rated highly the content, clarity, applicability, usefulness, and format of the SIM. Areas for minor improvement included factual accuracy of information, promoting independent learning, and clarity in specific sections. Based on the findings, the study recommends widespread adoption of the SIM, teacher training for effective implementation, further research on learning styles and addressing challenges, and dissemination of the improved SIM for broader impact.

Abstract

This study developed and validated picture clues to remediate the poor reading readiness of grade 1 learners in Oro Elementary School, Agusan del Sur Division for the school year 2023-2024. The study used a descriptive evaluation research design with 42 Grade I learners as the participants of the remediation. The reading readiness level of the learners was determined by the Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA) tool in the pretest as the baseline for the learners’ reading readiness level and the same tool was used in the posttest after the implementation of the developed and validated picture clues in the learners’ regular reading instruction. The ADDIE Model was used as a guide in the design and development of picture clues and was validated based on the Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) criteria by the three (3) experts in the field. The paired t-test was used to analyze if there was a significant difference between the pretest and the posttest results after the remediation. Data revealed that before the remediation, there were only 5 learners who belonged to the “Grade Ready” level, the highest level, and 37 belonged to the “Full Refresher” level, the lowest level, hence, remediation was needed. However, after the implementation of the developed and validated picture clues as remediation, the number of learners who belonged to the “Grade Ready” level increased from 5 to 35, 2 at the “Light Refresher” level, and no one belonged to the “Moderate Refresher” and “Full Refresher” levels. Hence, exposure to the developed and validated picture clues significantly improved the learners’ reading readiness level and was a valuable tool for educators to improve reading readiness of the Grade 1 learners.

Abstract

This study explored the extent to which specific factors influence the teaching of MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health) and the corresponding academic performance of Grade 9 learners in the North 3 District, Gingoog City Division. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the study integrated quantitative data from 145 surveyed students with qualitative insights from interviews with 6 MAPEH teachers. Key factors investigated included teaching quality, classroom atmosphere, learner interest, parental support, and availability of resources. Statistical analysis revealed significant yet weak positive correlations between teaching-related factors and student performance. Notably, high levels of student interest and parental support emerged as critical contributors to learner achievement, while inadequate resources and physical infrastructure posed significant instructional barriers. Language barriers and insufficient MAPEH teacher expertise were also identified as limiting factors. Despite these challenges, many learners demonstrated proficiency or advanced performance levels. The study culminated in the development of a multi-pronged intervention program aimed at enhancing resource allocation, teacher training, classroom engagement strategies, and stakeholder involvement to improve MAPEH outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of a holistic and well-supported educational environment in delivering effective MAPEH instruction.

Abstract

This study assessed the efficacy of the Fuller Approach—a structured reading intervention combining phonics, alphabet recognition, and whole-word recognition—on the reading performance of Grade 7 students at Villa Kananga Integrated School, Butuan City. Using a one-group pre-experimental design, the research measured students’ reading skills before and after the intervention. The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) served as the primary tool for data collection, evaluating word recognition, reading speed, and comprehension. Results revealed a significant improvement in reading performance, as evidenced by increased posttest scores in all areas: word recognition, reading comprehension, words Correct Per Minute (WCPM), and error rate reduction. A paired sample t-test confirmed the statistical significance of the observed gains (p<0.001). Theoretical frameworks such as Schema Theory and Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory supported the study, highlighting the importance of prior knowledge, scaffolding, and socially mediated learning. The findings affirm that the Fuller Approach is a highly effective method for enhancing reading fluency and comprehension among struggling readers. The study recommends continued application of this approach, enhanced teacher training, and the integration of individualized interventions to sustain student reading gains.
