Abstract

This study examined the level of awareness, practices, and challenges encountered by teachers in the implementation of School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (SDRRM) in the East District of Bayugan City Division. Employing a descriptive-correlational design, this study was participated by 113 teachers through Slovin’s formula and cluster sampling. The data gathered were analyzed employing means and Spearman’s Rank Correlation. Findings revealed that teachers exhibit high levels of awareness as well as very satisfactory levels of practice across all indicators of the Comprehensive School Safety framework which includes: Enabling Environment, Safe Learning Facilities, School Disaster Risk Management, and Disaster Risk Reduction in Education. It was found that there is a significant relationship between the teachers’ level of awareness and practices across all indicators. Nevertheless, common challenges encountered by the teachers were identified namely: inadequate funding, insufficient resources, lack of collaboration, and inadequate training. Grounded in the study’s findings, an enhanced SDRRM plan was proposed to reinforce the challenges identified. The study underlines the importance of sufficient resource allocation, continuing professional development, and widened linkages in creating a safe and resilient school community.

Abstract

Pre-reading and numeracy skills of kindergarten learners currently lack substantial scientific evidence, and continuously pose a challenge in all early childhood learning institutions. To delve into this issue, the researcher conducted a study to find out how the parent-assisted early literacy practices affected pre-reading and numeracy skills as basis for designing an intervention program. A descriptive correlational research design was used in order to attain its objectives. The respondents of the study were the parents or guardians of the kindergarten learners of the three elementary school of Esperanza II, Division of Agusan del Sur who were chosen through cluster sampling and which sample size was determined through Slovin’s formula. Self-made research instruments were used to answer the problems of the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to measure the level of parent-assisted early literacy practices, while frequency and percentage were used to describe levels of the pre-reading and numeracy skills of kindergarten learners. Moreover, significant relationships were measured using Spearman Rho correlation. The findings of the study revealed that the level of parent-assisted early literacy practices in terms of reading and numeracy were satisfactory and very satisfactory, respectively. Further, significant relationship existed between parent-assisted early literacy practices and pre-reading skills in terms of phonological awareness, and numeracy skills in terms of number knowledge, number representation, and basic operation on addition and subtraction. An intervention program was crafted based on the findings of the study.

Abstract

In the new era, the comprehensive advancement of ideological and political education in curricula must address the issue of the "separation between professional education and ideological education." The problem-chain teaching method is an effective approach to implementing the concept of ideological and political education in curricula. This paper takes the ideological and political teaching of the foundational public administration course Strategic Management in Public Sector as an example. It systematically designs and elaborates on how to use the Rain Classroom intelligent teaching platform to develop a problem-chain-driven ideological and political teaching system, providing referenceable teaching methods and practical pathways for advancing ideological and political education in curricula.

Abstract

Although motivation is the most important factor influencing students’ studies progress, some students remains disinterested to their school subjects and becomes behind in their studies. The present study investigates the factors that affect Afghan students disinterest towards studies in the public high schools of the central district of Wardak province. The statistical population of the study consists of all teachers in the public high schools of the central district of Wardak, total 200 teachers. The data is collected from 100 teachers using a researcher-designed questionnaire containing 92 questions. This research employs a quantitative methodology to examine two key factors (personal and environmental) influencing student disinterest. The data were collected and analyzed using SPSS software. The findings of the study indicate that the factors affecting students’ interest toward studies include their basic needs, such as physiological, belonging, security, respect, and self-actualization, as well as environmental factors like facilities, rewards, punishment, and teachers’ professional competency. Among these, teacher professional competency and rewards have the greatest impact on student interest, while factors such as self-actualization, respect, security, punishment, belonging, physiological needs, and facilities also play significant roles. In order to foster students' interest in their studies, it is not only essential to fulfill their primary needs, but also to create an appropriate learning environment for them. Additionally, teachers who possess professional competency, mastery of subject knowledge, and strong ethical conduct are crucial for students becoming interested toward their learning.

Abstract

This study examines the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LEPT) performance of secondary test-takers from Father Saturnino Urios University (FSUU), distinguishing between education and non-education graduates. Covering four examination periods from January 2022 to March 2024, it employs a descriptive-correlational design using secondary data from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). Descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including T-tests, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and One-Way ANOVA, were used to analyze participation and performance patterns. Findings indicate that graduates from programs closely aligned with the Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) curriculum and corresponding LEPT majors generally performed well. No significant differences were found between unit earners from Nursing and Accountancy compared to Teacher Education Program (TEP) takers. However, significant differences emerged in the performance of Business Administration and Computer Studies graduates compared to TEP takers. Time elapsed between graduation and taking the LEPT was shorter among passers, though no direct correlation was found between time since graduation and licensure performance. Instead, the time since completing the required 18 professional education units appeared more influential. Furthermore, no significant differences in LEPT performance were observed across the four examination periods, indicating stable performance trends. To improve licensure outcomes, the study suggests offering a Teacher Certificate Program, strengthening alumni support, implementing early intervention programs, and integrating a licensure review component into the curriculum, particularly for non-education graduates. These strategies aim to enhance test preparedness and support students in obtaining professional teaching certification.

Abstract

This study examined the effects of three teaching strategies—multisensory, think-pair-share, and lecture method—on the mathematics performance of Grade V pupils at Ampayon Central Elementary School, Butuan City Division. Employing a quasi-experimental design with three groups of 40 pupils each, the research utilized pretests and posttests based on the K–12 Basic Education Curriculum in Mathematics. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Findings revealed significant differences in performance across the strategies, with the multisensory approach producing the highest mean scores, followed by think-pair-share, while the lecture method yielded the lowest. Pupils exposed to multisensory and think-pair-share strategies demonstrated greater interest, higher engagement, and more substantial learning gains compared to the traditional lecture-discussion group. The study concludes that the multisensory approach is the most effective strategy for enhancing mathematics learning outcomes. It recommends that teachers and school leaders adopt varied pedagogical approaches to foster improved student performance and to align with the goals of the Department of Education in promoting quality instruction.
