Abstract

Understanding different learning styles in education is critical for effective teaching and personalized learning, given their significant influence on academic performance. A misalignment between students’ preferences and instructional methods, particularly in English subjects, can impede comprehension and contribute to academic decline. This study investigated the relationship between learning styles in English subjects and academic performance among students at Sultan Kudarat State University. Specifically, it aimed to identify the predominant learning styles and academic performance of 2nd year BSED English students and assessed how they impacted academic outcomes. Employing a descriptive-correlational approach, the study involved total enumeration sampling of 2nd year English significant students. It utilized statistical measures such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and chi-square for data analysis. Findings revealed that students’ most dominant learning styles were visual in perceptual and individual in social learning. Some students exhibited a combination of visual with group or auditory learning, suggesting adaptability to various teaching methods. Despite commendable academic performance, no significant correlation was found between dominant learning styles and academic achievement. These results may advance current knowledge on the various ways that students choose to study English and emphasize the value of individualized instruction and assistance to meet each student’s specific learning requirements.

Abstract

Observations of poor reading comprehension highlight the critical nature of learners at a stage where they are transitioning from “learning to read to reading to learn”. Providing effective strategies, such as utilizing picture clues, is essential to support learners in understanding and analyzing texts independently. While picture clues are commonly used in early childhood education, this study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of picture clues as media for developing reading skills among Grade 5 learners. The descriptive-evaluative research design was employed in this study. This study utilized an intact group which composed of the class to which the picture clues were utilized. The data gathered in this study were treated using arithmetic Mean and percentage and the level of ability of comprehension was determined using the Phil-IRI tool. The Paired Samples t-test was used to determine if there was a significant difference between the pre-assessment and post-assessment scores of the learners. Results revealed that the utilization of picture clues facilitated a significant advancement in the learners' reading comprehension skills. The use of picture clues was found effective in improving learners’ engagement with the text as well as their ability to identify the main idea, make predictions, and draw conclusions. Specifically, the transition from literal skills to critical skills level demonstrated the effectiveness of incorporating visual aids like picture clues in the learning process of the learners. This suggests that utilizing such instructional media can effectively support and foster the development of higher-order thinking abilities, thereby enhancing their overall reading comprehension proficiency.

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 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.
