Abstract

This study investigated the pedagogical competence of teachers in decoding, phonics instruction, and contextual understanding and its relationship with the FLAT performance of Grades 1, 2, and 3 learners in Las Nieves District 1. The study utilized secondary data from the FLAT performances during the 1st and 2nd quarters of SY 2023-2024, involving 250 Grade 1, 100 Grade 2, and 100 Grade 3 pupils. A researcher-made instrument validated by experts and tested for reliability was used to assess the pedagogical competence of teachers. The results showed that teachers' competence in developing decoding skills and phonics instruction was excellent across all grades. The competence in contextual understanding was rated as very satisfactory. A significant relationship was found between the FLAT performance of Grade 1 pupils and teachers' competence in decoding (ρ= .238; p=.000), phonics instruction (ρ=.209; p=.001), and contextual understanding (ρ=.235; p=.000. Similarly, for Grade 2 pupils, their FLAT performance showed a very significant relationship with teachers' competence in decoding (ρ= .238; p=.000), phonics instruction (ρ=.209; p=.001), and contextual understanding (ρ=.235; p=.000). However, for Grade 3 pupils, no significant relationship was found between their FLAT performance and teachers' pedagogical competence, as indicated by p-values beyond the .05 level of significance

Abstract

This qualitative case study explored the resilience and teaching practices of three teachers at Agsabo Elementary School, an Indigenous Peoples Education (IPED) school in Agusan del Sur. The participants, each with at least five years of teaching experience, were interviewed guided with interview schedules through in-depth, face-to-face sessions, each lasting up to two hours. The study aimed to address five key questions regarding teacher resilience, including definitions of resilience, strategies for engaging Indigenous learners, the impact of professional development programs, the role of administrative support, and the influence of learners, peers, administrators, and community interactions. The findings reveal that teachers at Agsabo define resilience manifested through patience and the ability to align and adapt their teaching strategies to societal and contextual needs of indigenous peoples (IP) learners. They utilized culturally accurate instruction, language preservation, and differentiated strategies to engage IP learners, building resilience through community observation and immersion. Professional development programs, particularly training on Canva and Evalbee, enhanced teachers’ resilience by improving classroom efficiency and boosting confidence in using technology. Administrative support, including financial aid, support for mental health and wellness, and proactive leadership, play a critical role in maintaining teacher well-being and sustaining effective teaching practices. Furthermore, interactions with learners, peers, administrators, and the community were found to significantly strengthen teachers' resilience and effectiveness, fostering motivation, improving instructional strategies, and aligning teaching with learners’ cultural backgrounds. These interconnected factors contribute to a supportive and effective teaching environment, highlighting the importance of comprehensive support systems for teacher resilience in an IPED school.

Abstract

This study assessed the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) preparedness of elementary schools in Southeast Butuan District, focusing on practices, manifestations, and challenges faced by DRRM coordinators. Anchored on Emergency Management Theory, employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study reveals a commendable commitment to preparedness efforts, reflecting a proactive stance towards disaster management and fostering resilience within the school community. The challenges confronting the coordinators, like insufficient training and education on DRRM concepts, limited awareness and understanding of DRRM principles, constrained budget and resources for preparedness activities, difficulties in procuring and maintaining necessary equipment and supplies, and obstacles in conducting regular drills and simulations, highlight the areas for improvement. Correlation analysis shows a significant relationship between DRRM practices and preparedness levels, emphasizing proactive engagement. The "Building Resilient Schools" program offers a structured approach to address these challenges. Recommendations highlight the importance of enhancing disaster resilience to create a safer and more resilient learning environment in the Southeast Butuan District.

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.

Abstract

The study explored the classroom-based assessment (CBA) practices and challenges of primary teachers in the West Butuan District as the basis for a proposed upskilling program. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the investigation utilized a validated survey questionnaire administered to 44 primary teachers, supplemented by a focus group discussion (FGD) to capture contextual and experiential insights. Quantitative data were analyzed using weighted mean and Spearman Rho correlation, while qualitative responses were thematically coded. Findings indicated that while primary teachers demonstrated a generally high level of knowledge in key CBA domains—Table of Specifications (TOS), item development, test administration, scoring, and item evaluation—gaps remained in the practical application of this knowledge, particularly in ensuring test coverage, managing assessment time, and conducting item analysis. Statistically significant correlations were found between knowledge in all five CBA domains and actual assessment practices. The FGD further revealed persistent challenges, including limited training in item evaluation, difficulty in constructing time-bound assessments, and misalignment between test items and instructional objectives. In response, a three-day face-to-face upskilling program was developed to address these gaps through collaborative workshops, real-time feedback, and hands-on output creation, with the goal of improving assessment quality, enhancing instructional planning, and promoting better learner outcomes.
