<![CDATA[In the current era of education, the utilization of computer-based materials is widespread and has become more common as years pass by. The researcher aims to determine the effectiveness of teaching literature using computer-based materials as a strategy in teaching Philippine literature to Grade 7 students. This study seeks to compare the level of learning in terms of knowledge and practical skills acquisition and craftsmanship between learners using computer-based instructional materials and those using print- based instructional materials in teaching Philippine Literature. A quasi-experimental design is highly appropriate and considered to be effective for this research because it uses the pre-testing and post-testing of the respondents about the investigation at hand. Findings showed that the students always use visual (spatial) learning styles as they prefer to learn using pictures, images, and spatial understanding. In addition, the results revealed that the pupils’ performance was improved with Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI). In line with this. the participants also showed preference to different methods such as the usage of DVD Video and social networking sites like Facebook for educational purposes. However, the research also uncovered setbacks to the ease of using computer-aided instructions. According to the participants, these difficulties include the availability of hardware and software, lack of funds, computer illiteracy, and attitudes of teachers.]]>

<![CDATA[One of the modalities used to continue education here in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic is the online learning modality. Online learning will be considered successful if the teachers handling this modality are equipped with appropriate knowledge and the right attitudes and online practices for this kind of teaching. To be regarded as an influential online teacher, their readiness for the modality should be high. This research study describes the of preparedness of high school teacher-respondents of Locloc National High School regarding the use of online learning modality by assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the thirty-six teacher-respondents focusing on the use of online learning. An online questionnaire was developed and given to each respondent, following strict health guidelines and protocols. Constructed on the research outcomes, Locloc National High School teachers have high knowledge, proper attitudes, and sound practices when it comes to implementing and utilizing the online class modality in their school. Therefore, respondents have a high level of readiness about using online learning modalities for their students. For further improvement of teachers regarding the use of online learning modality, an Online Learning Modality Enhancement Program (Table 20) should be taken into consideration. Other divisions should adapt it for teacher readiness enhancement for online learning modality.]]>

<![CDATA[Before the implementation of online learning, students graphed functions on paper using either a ballpen or pencil. However, online learning materials including online graphing calculators were being encouraged to be used since the modality had shifted into online learning. DESMOS is one of the online learning materials that can be used in graphing functions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of DESMOS as a graphing tool for teachers and students together with the benefits of this software together with the perceptions towards it. The study was conducted with 23 Grade 11 students taking up Accountancy and Business Management during the classes of Statistics and Probability. The research design used was mixed consisting of comparative statistical techniques and narrative analysis. The interventions involving DESMOS were done virtually through Google Meet. Their skills before and after the interventions involving DESMOS were compared and based on the statistical aspect, there was a significant difference between the skills before and after the interventions with a t-statistical value of -3.78, which was lower than the critical value of -2.074. Besides, the students were able to collaborate in terms of tasks and reflect on what they had learned in DESMOS, and they were able to see DESMOS as an accessible, convenient, and effective graphing tool. DESMOS should be widely used as a teaching tool in graphing functions so students will be able to appreciate technology with mathematics since people are now living in the era of technology.]]>

<![CDATA[Notably, the use of technology in teaching and reading instruction was found to have various effects on learners' attitudes towards engagement with the text and meaning-making. As a result, online sources as authentic materials can be an ideal resource for reading instruction. Given the context in which instruction is carried out in the new normal and the kind of intervention needed for the different learner groups where their reading skills is concerned, learning resources in interactive formats are optimized for maximum results. Specifically, the use of interactive learning resources such as the digital learning objects has become a valuable for teachers with regards to reading instruction. Its use in the different phases of instruction proved to be a valuable tool in addressing the reading difficulties of the elementary learners. Using the content-validated test as research instruments, results of the study showed how the Grade 5 struggling readers of Baquioen Elementary School benefitted from the use of interactive learning resources in reading instruction during the school year 2021-2022. Moreover, the results of the study reveal that there was significant difference in the levels of reading skills of the Grade 5 struggling readers after they were taught in English using digital learning objects. Thus, teachers are recommended to scaffold the reading instruction with the use of tools that target the best ways in which the students learn best.]]>

<![CDATA[This study uses a descriptive design in describing the abilities of students in grade VIII of Junior High School. The ability studied is the ability of students' comparative level in writing simple sentences using English. The ability tested is the degree of comparison of adjectives by giving students a writing test. The data was processed from taking convenience sampling of 20 students who were active in class. The test site was grade VIII students at the State Islamic Junior High School (MTsN) 5 Tebo. The researcher classified students' abilities based on the Madrasah Working Group (KKM) with a standard value of 75 (seventy-five). Students who have a score below 75 (seventy-five), are declared to have low abilities and those who have higher scores are declared to have high abilities. The test results are students with high abilities amounting to 15% who can write simple sentences using degrees of comparison in adjectives. Students with low abilities are 85% who cannot write simple sentences using degrees of comparison in adjectives. So, this study can be a reference in providing lessons on the ability to write simple sentences using adjectives to students in grade VIII of Junior High School.]]>

<![CDATA[Many difficulties are experienced by students when understanding English text reading by Vocational High School (SMK) students. There are many factors that influence reading text. This study aims to help students in understanding English text so that the difficulties experienced by students in understanding descriptive text and the factors of difficulty that influence it can be known. This study was conducted on class I Culinary Arts students at State Vocational High School (SMKN) 9 Padang. The type of research conducted was descriptive qualitative research with data collection techniques used were questionnaires, interviews, observations and document analysis. The number of student subjects studied was 35 students. The results of this study were 69.5% of students experienced difficulties with very strong answers to the difficulties they found. As many as 23.1% of students experienced difficulties with the normal category. As many as 6.3% of students who did not experience difficulties were very difficult and as many as 1.1% of students did not experience difficulties at all. These results indicate that students with a strong category still find many difficulties in reading comprehension in the descriptive texts they have read. Meanwhile, the factors that influence the difficulty in understanding descriptive text reading are lack of vocabulary mastery, lack of motivation to learn English, learning without a tutor or learning online, and less supportive environmental or social factors. So, this study can help schools in taking action to further improve students' abilities that can help students in vocational schools.]]>

<![CDATA[Short Stories (Cerpen) are literary works containing fictional stories packaged in a concise and clear form. The story presented is in the form of the author's imagination. Short stories have hidden images that can be used as learning media. Each noun in the story is replaced with a note that hides the picture of that noun. This research used subjects in seventh grade (VII) junior high school (SMP) level. The research stages were carried out in cycles of planning, action, observation and reflection. In the cycle stage there were four meetings with 13 class VII students at State Junior High School (SMPN) 5 Padang. This research was conducted on students who have limited vocabulary. Researchers recommend that an English teacher use short stories with hidden pictures as an alternative medium for learning vocabulary. The results of the paired sample test analysis show a p-value of 0.003 < 0.05 and a t-value of 3.792 with df -9. Thus, the Null Hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and there is a significant increase in the use of short stories with hidden pictures to increase students' vocabulary achievement. So, this research can be a recommendation in using learning media to increase students' ability to master the components or other English skills in different classes, subjects and activities.]]>
