Abstract

Students can attain higher academic comprehension and performance by using instructional tactics and approaches that naturally match their interests. Researchers investigated potential learning gaps that could occur due to disparities in students' learning abilities. As a result, this study determined students' preferred learning styles, study habits, and academic achievement in mathematics as a general education course. A total of 100 freshmen college students were non-randomly recruited for this study, which used a quantitative descriptive approach. The study adopted the Reid Perceptual Learning Style Questionnaire and Gilbert Wrenn's Inventory of Study Habits as tools for data collection. Furthermore, descriptive statistics such as mean, ANOVA, and Post-hoc Tukey HSD Test were used to investigate freshmen college students' preferred learning styles, study habits, and academic performance in mathematics. The survey's findings revealed that students favor the tactile, group, and individual learning styles as minor learning modes, despite having poor study habits. A high level of academic achievement was also revealed. Gender and course caused significant disparities in their study habits, according to a test of difference. When categorized by profile factors, no significant variations in learning styles or academic achievement were discovered. The study's recommendations can help teachers and future researchers develop and implement educational interventions.

Abstract

The study of chemistry is considered to be the most important discipline of study because of its significant impact on both the individuals who study it and society as a whole. Because of this, many academicians now believe it to be an important area of study. This study mainly focused on the use of contextualized activities in the acquisition of Chemistry concepts in Science7. Quasi-experimental, particularly the non-equivalent dependent variable, was utilized as the research design. The scores during pre- and post-tests served as the primary source of data from the 41 Grade 7 students. Total enumeration was implemented. The study revealed that there is a significant difference in the results of the pre-test and post-test of the Grade 7 students since the calculated t-value (52.84) exceeded the critical value (2.02). The scope and focus of the study were limited only to the use of contextualized activities intended to determine its effects on the acquisition of Chemistry concepts in Science 7. It was also restricted only to 41 students of the Calamba Bayside National High School who are enrolled in the school year 2017-2018. The results of the study could help the division in encouraging teachers to be more creative and innovative and craft more contextualized learning materials in science.

Abstract

Academic well-being is one of several elements that influence students' math learning and performance. This study looked at students' academic well-being in terms of math self-concept, schoolwork engagement, and burnout in relation to their educational aspirations in mathematics. It looked at the connections between the learners' mathematical performance and educational goals, as well as the connections between the learners' academic well-being and those variables. It used a descriptive-correlational study design. The population of grade 10 students from Lawa Integrated School served as the source of the statistics 161 students were gathered using the standard random sampling method (males: 86, females: 75). A survey questionnaire was used to assess the student's academic well-being in terms of math self-concept, schoolwork engagement, and school burnout, educational aspirations, and mathematics achievement to gather data. The mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, mean percentage scores, Pearson product-moment, and Spearman rank order correlations were used to examine the collected data. The results showed a robust and statistically significant association between the student's academic success and their arithmetic proficiency. The findings showed a small but statistically significant correlation between the learners' academic well-being and educational aspirations. On the other hand, there was a modest and statistically significant correlation between the learners' academic achievement in mathematics and their aspirations for further education.

Abstract

The Department of Education, Division of Cebu City, Philippines, supports its Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan in the new normal. With the new trend of hiring new teachers, the Teacher Induction Program is one of the challenges ever faced by neophyte educators. This action research determined the challenges encountered by the beginning teachers during their Teacher Induction Program (TIP) in improving instructional effectiveness and professional development throughout the process. Using mixed methods of research design, the researchers administered survey questionnaires on their performances as well as a structured interview with the 12 novice teachers and conducted cross-validation for qualitative data analysis. Results showed that the Individual Performance Commitment Rating Form (IPCRF) has the highest rating (M= 4.0400) compared with their IPCRF Self-Rating (M= 3.7242) and TIP coordinator's rating (M= 3.7235). There is also a significant mean difference between the three mentioned variables (F= 4.36932) p-value is 0.02073, which leads to the rejection of Ho. However, the respondents are less serious when it comes to the challenges encountered in instruction, classroom management, and school location. Using Colaizzi’s Approach, 4 emerging themes surfaced: an Orderly Learning Environment; the Development of Effective Teaching Practices; Show Love, Respect, and Caring; and the Promotion of Personal and Professional Development. Based on the findings of the study, an enhanced mentoring program embedded in an action plan is recommended for reevaluating the TIP with the past induction efforts of the respondents, with stronger support from the school administrators.

Abstract

Integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Maths (STEAM) ideals in Early Years Education (EYE) builds a strong foundation for learners to discover, explore, play, discuss and experiment with the environment. Given that the goal of EYE is to expand an understanding of the world through observation, experimentation, and exploration, the integration of STEAM activities requires an intentional connection between lesson design and implementation for long life learning. Skills of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and inquiry processes embedded in STEAM concepts prepare learners to develop a scientific mindset for solving global challenges. Therefore, the study determined the influence of STEAM strategies on the development of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication skills among learners in Nairobi City County, Kenya. Based on a descriptive survey design, the study purposively sampled 107 teachers in EYE, 99 head teachers, and 55 parents. The teacher questionnaire, which anchored the study in data collection, was complemented by observation of class activities and documentary analysis. Multiple intelligence theory was adopted to explore the nexus between STEAM and core competencies required for survival in the 21st century. Results illustrated that even though teachers in EYE implemented STEAM activities, which resulted in the development of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and collaboration skills, there exist challenges emanating from pedagogy and inadequate support for instructional resources. The study recommends that teachers should be equipped with tools and resources for integrating STEAM activities in EYE, considering the nature of practices to apply and attributes that may promote or deter learning.

Abstract

This paper is meant to evaluate the usefulness of digital literacy to learners who are classified as post-millennials. It strived to explore a possible retooling of education through innovative strategies to be able to increase value in classroom learning. Utilizing information and technology in communication to search, create, analyze and relay messages which requires cognitive and technical skills, is known as digital literacy. Post-millennials are those born from 1997 onwards. Since their generations are into the maximum use of the internet and technology in communication, the author deemed it necessary to evaluate the digital literacy of the post-millennials in a private school in one of the provinces in the Philippines. The respondents are the administrators, non-teaching staff, teaching staff, and students of this respondent school. The author utilized survey questionnaires to collect data from the participants. Results showed that less than half of the educators who participated favored digital teaching to students. However, this is not the case for learners because they all voted for digital learning. They mentioned that using digital tools is flexible, and they were more favorable in its integration into their classroom learning. The author, based on the findings, concluded that this present generation is more inclined to digital learning and teaching approaches. The author recommends that further and additional research is needed to determine more productive strategies for the provision of internet connection in schools and physical classrooms of the country.
