Abstract

The study investigates the mediating effects of work values on the roles and qualities of school leaders and teachers' core behavioral competencies. The research involved 100 public elementary school teachers from nine Del Remedio District, Division of San Pablo City schools, with the majority being female and married. The study used descriptive and correlational research methods to determine the relationship between leadership roles, qualities, and teacher performance. The questionnaire was divided into five parts: respondent profiles, perceptions about the mediating effects of work value in the roles and qualities of school leaders and teachers, and core behavioral competencies. The findings show a significant relationship between leadership roles and qualities and teacher performance and between teacher work values and performance in core behavioral competencies. Teachers' work values fully mediate this relationship. The study suggests that school leaders should be knowledgeable about their roles and qualities, provide necessary technical assistance, and prioritize professional growth for the benefit of the school. The Department of Education is actively working to develop these roles and qualities for better teacher performance.

Abstract

Chemistry practical helps pupils to understand chemical concepts and create their own learning. Studies have revealed inadequate practical works in chemistry, and identified factors that may be responsible for this fallout with a view to improving the situation but the problem still persists. This study therefore examined if laboratory adequacy and students’ attitude will predict students’ learning outcome in chemistry practical. The population of the study comprised one 150 students and 10 teachers from 5 public senior secondary schools in Ibadan less city, Nigeria. The instruments used are: Chemistry Laboratory Adequacy Inventory (r=0.79), Chemistry Practical Achievement Test (CPAT) (r = 0.81), Students’ Attitudinal Scale (r=0.76). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results revealed: students’ positive attitude in chemistry practical, students’ low achievement, inadequate laboratory facilities. Furthermore, it was revealed that laboratory facilities (β=.022P>.05); students’ attitude in chemistry practical (β=-.102,P >.05); are weak predictors of students’ achievement in chemistry practical. The study therefore recommends that chemistry teachers should improve on teaching chemistry practical, the Government at various levels should endeavor to build science laboratory, employ more chemistry teachers and supply schools with laboratory facilities

Abstract

The study examined the current implementation of the research management system at the National University of Laos. The population comprised 1,302 faculty members across 13 affiliated faculties, with a sample size of 306 determined using Yamane’s formula (1973). A five-point Likert scale questionnaire, validated by five experts in research and management, served as the primary data collection instrument, yielding a reliability coefficient of 0.97. Stratified sampling was employed to gather the data, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Additionally, content analysis was used for the qualitative component. The findings revealed that the overall input of the system was rated at an Agree level, although limited budget allocation and the absence of research manuals were identified as critical issues. The research process was frequently practiced, but deficiencies in applying research findings were noted. The output was similarly rated at an Agree level, though there was limited utilization of research outcomes. While generally positive, feedback mechanisms lacked sufficient depth in reflection and improvement. To optimize research management, it is recommended that managers focus on securing financial resources, providing comprehensive research guides, enhancing the utilization of research outputs, and strengthening feedback processes

Abstract

Mathematics is fundamental in daily life and education, yet students with dyscalculia face significant challenges in mastering basic arithmetic operations. This study investigates how the ethnomathematics approach can develop process skills among students with dyscalculia. Using a qualitative descriptive method, two grade-six students with different levels of dyscalculia were studied through observations, tests, and interviews. Results indicate that students with moderate dyscalculia (S1) demonstrated progress in classification and calculation with minimal guidance, while those with severe dyscalculia (S2) required intensive support and showed limited progress. This suggests that ethnomathematics, which integrates cultural and contextual learning, is effective for students with learning disabilities but requires adaptation based on severity levels. Findings highlight the potential of culturally relevant methods in enhancing mathematical skills.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of the Storyboarding Technique in improving the writing skills of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi. The primary issue addressed is students' difficulty generating and organizing ideas while maintaining motivation during writing activities. The research adopts a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group involving two classes selected through simple random sampling: experimental and control classes. The research instruments included pre-test and post-test assessments. In the pre-test, the experimental group scored an average of 42, while the control group scored 44.16. After the treatment, the post-test scores increased to 67.83 for the experimental group and 58.16 for the control group. Statistical analysis using degrees of freedom (df) 46 at a significance level of 0.05 showed that the t-count (2.006) exceeded the t-table (1.678), indicating a significant difference. The results demonstrate that the Storyboarding Technique effectively improves students' writing skills, particularly in recount text composition. This technique motivates students by facilitating idea visualization and structuring before formal writing. The findings suggest that teachers may integrate storyboarding as a creative approach to English language learning to enhance students' writing proficiency. Further research is recommended to explore its long-term effects on writing development.
