Abstract

This study aimed to examine the lived experiences of multilingual students in online distance learning during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study utilized the qualitative research design - transcendental phenomenology and employed purposive sampling. The study participants were ten (10) multilingual students among Senior High School Students. A researcher-made questionnaire was reviewed by research experts and was used in individual interviews with the participants. The collected data through interviews underwent thematic analyses and triangulation. Based on the findings, the model was developed through thematic analyses, the Basic Instructional Strategies Aiming to Address the Problems of Multilingual Students in Online Distance Learning MODEL (in the Filipino language: Batayang Instruksiyong estratehiya na Naglalayong Tugunan at Alamin (BINTA) ang mga suliranin ng mga multilinggwal na mag-aaral sa online distance learning) was developed. The BINTA Model represents the lived experiences of multilingual students in online distance learning in terms of the themes that emerged: lack of interaction and communication, difficulty in understanding technical terms, consistency of internet connection, and effective communication. This implies that the model can help improve these students' educational outcomes and experiences by providing appropriate instructional strategies tailored to the needs of multilingual students. Educators can help mitigate these students' challenges and difficulties in an online distance learning environment. Through this, educators can help ensure that multilingual students can engage with the material, participate fully in online discussions and activities, and ultimately achieve their learning goals.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the public speaking anxiety and English language competency of the Bachelor of Secondary Education English majors at Laguna State Polytechnic University Los Baños Campus. The study employed a descriptive correlation research design using a validated survey questionnaire to find the relationship between the variables. In the study's findings, the respondents' public speaking anxiety level had a standard deviation of 0.71 and was descriptively interpreted as "agree". The level of English language competency of the students was proficient. The data showed that 70.5% of the respondents have proficient English Language competency while 22.7% were advanced, and 6.8% were approaching. Thus, the study shows no significant relationship between public speaking anxiety and English Language Competency. Based on the results, it is suggested that respondents should enhance their skills in public speaking though it did not affect their language proficiency. Implementing activities that would practice and develop the student's speaking skills is encouraged to future educators to prevent anxiety towards speaking. Since the students' PSA level is high, teachers need to guide the students with their speaking, their delivery and confidence along the process.

Abstract

As artificial intelligence and robotics technologies continue to grow exponentially, we will be able to do some amazing things with the help of robots in education. This article will describe the potential of robots in the education system. The use of robots in educating students can be crucial, but it remains uncertain whether they will entirely replace teachers. Therefore, this study aims to see if robots are assistants or replace teachers in the classroom. This study followed a systematic approach to the reviewed literature to compile relevant articles. Robots can be helpful teaching tools in the school, as evidenced by the results and pertinent literature, but it is unlikely that they will ever completely replace teachers. Robots, however, are a flexible solution for the educational system and are appropriate for some forms of assistance.

Abstract

In instructional management styles and strategies, parents observe teachers and administration employed in an academic community. They must align the values parents expect from their children. As study participants, parents understand that the school administration must demonstrate academic excellence. This study aims to determine the level of satisfaction with the school-based management of stakeholders in a regional science high school in Olongapo City, Philippines. The stakeholders' level of satisfaction is measured through the four (4) major areas of school-based management: leadership and governance, curriculum and instruction, accountability and continuous improvement, and management and resources. The study employed a descriptive survey research method with the help of a survey questionnaire as the primary data-gathering tool. One hundred ninety (190) stakeholders voluntarily participated and responded to the call with the help of the purposive sampling technique. The researchers developed an instrument that underwent validity and reliability evaluation. The study also used descriptive and inferential statistics to assess the gathered data. The study revealed that the stakeholders were "very satisfied" regarding curriculum and instruction, accountability and continuous improvement, and management and resources. However, only leadership and governance yielded "satisfied" stakeholder remarks. Furthermore, there were no substantial differences in the school-based management satisfaction of the stakeholders when grouped according to their profiles. Based on the results, the researchers recommended some vital suggestions at the end of the study.

Abstract

To address the high percentage of low-performing Filipino learners, as the the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) revealed, the research investigated the relationship between the level of contemporary parenting behaviors and the level of attitude towards learning Grade 7 students and parents. Through this, the Filipino learners' poor academic performance outcomes in PISA 2018 may be addressed by proposing and implementing an effective academic enhancement program. A total of 284 adolescents and parents, selected at random, participated by answering the two adopted standardized questionnaires, and the model was analyzed and evaluated using Mean, Parenting Behaviors and Dimensions Questionnaire and Attitude toward Learning Scale, T-test for independence and Pearson-Product Moment Correlation. The results revealed that emotional warmth, anxious intrusiveness, and democratic discipline were practised more often than punitive, permissive, and autonomy support. Moreover, students showed a favourable attitude toward the nature of learning and expectations from learning. On the other hand, their attitudes toward openness to learning and anxiety about learning were observed to need improvement. In addition, the results showed a significant difference between the assessments of the Grade 7 students and their parents. It was also revealed that there is a significant relationship between contemporary parenting behaviors and attitudes toward learning. An Academic Enhancement Program was developed to address the problems and concerns observed and help the students with their academic endeavours.

Abstract

This paper presents the development and validation of an English Grade 8 Worksheet aligned with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) and emphasizing integration across subjects. A quantitative research design was employed to assess these worksheets' content validity and acceptability. The evaluation used simple mean and four-point Likert scales to gauge validity and acceptability. Additionally, a T-test was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference in learner performance between their pretest and posttest. The assessment involved various education professionals, including head teachers, master teachers, subject-specific teachers, and program supervisors. Remarkably, all evaluators unanimously rated the content validity of the worksheets as "Highly Valid," encompassing criteria such as objectives, content, format, language, and presentation. Similarly, the worksheets received unanimous acclaim as "Very Acceptable" regarding functionality, accuracy, suitability, and usability. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in learner performance from the pretest to the posttest, with a probability value below the 0.05 significance threshold. This suggests that the designed instructional material is well-prepared for implementation in the upcoming school year. In conclusion, this study aimed to create and validate English Grade 8 MELCs-based worksheets that seamlessly integrated content from Science and TLE subjects. The research recognized the need for learning materials that effectively blend English with other subjects while adhering to the K–12 MELCs. By developing and validating these integrated worksheets, the study contributes to enhancing English language education, promoting subject integration, and elevating the quality of interdisciplinary instruction.
