Taking the Road Towards Gleaming Future: The

Effect of the Various Educational Reforms
in the Philippines
Jestoni L. Pastias
Head Teacher I
Guigang Elemenary School
ABSTRACT
One of the most crucial aspects of society that needs to be updated frequently in these modern
times is education. Changes in the curriculum and teaching strategies must be examined annually.
PR
This idea gave rise to the many educational reforms that the nation has since implemented. For
O
the past 20 years, the Philippine government has been reforming our educational system to raise
PE
the standard of our education. The advantages and disadvantages of such have been studied by
R
numerous institutions and organizations, but much more research needs to be done.
TY
Education is a tool for bettering an individual’s life. It is, without a doubt, the most crucial tool for
O
transforming one’s life. A child’s education begins at home. It’s a process that lasts a lifetime and
F
culminates in death. Education has a significant impact on the quality of a person’s life. Education
BE
enhances one’s knowledge, talents, and personality as well as attitude. Most importantly, education
has an impact on people’s employment prospects. A well-educated person has a better chance of
YO
landing a good career.

N
There are numerous faults with our existing educational system that need to be addressed.
D
One of the primary difficulties in Philippine education is that HEIs produce an excessive number
BO
of graduates each year. There are too many graduates with little capacity for work, resulting in a
O
labor market with limited absorptive capacity. Another concern is the caliber of graduates. There
KS
is a mismatch between the graduates’ knowledge and skills and what the industry requires. Issues
like these have been addressed as part of several educational reforms, which aim not only to
PU
improve the country’s educational state but also to produce graduates who are locally and globally
BL
competitive.
IC
The educational reforms in the country particularly the K-12 Enhanced Basic Education
AT
Program rendered its effect on the country’s educational state. Counting the number of years
parents will spend on their children’s education means more labor, more effort, and more years of
IO
waiting before they see their children graduate from elementary school. A frequent Filipino parent
N
desires to be able to watch their children work for a living for a longer time. If this program is fully
implemented, Filipino basic education graduates will be extremely comparable and competent to
their Asian and global peers. Parents may contribute more to the school’s demands, but the result
negates all of the costs because graduates are globally competitive.
Okabe, M. (2013) states that lengthening secondary schooling by two years will help
decongest the curriculum. Content that had to be taught within 4 years will now be taught over
6 years. The “K to 12” Program also makes possible the seamless continuity of education from
kindergarten through elementary school to high school. Graduates will gain a high school diploma,
and they can also acquire a Certificate of Competencies or a National Certification showing that
they have acquired a mid-level of skill in their specialization when going on for higher education or
getting a job.
With the certificates senior high school graduates could obtain, they can now proceed either
to college or start their own business. With that, learners were given the chance to choose between
pursuing their careers or establishing their own business where they could generate their income.
page 69
The present curriculum does not just help us level with other competitive countries, it also upgraded
the produced graduates in the basic education for them to be college-ready.
The learning goal in the new “K to 12” curriculum is the acquisition of 21st-century skills, notably
(1) learning and innovation skills, (2) IT and media skills, (3) effective communication skills, and
(4) life and career skills (SEAMEO INNOTECH 2012). The aim is to bring about “holistically developed
Filipinos with 21st-century skills” who are ready for employment, have entrepreneurship, and
possess mid-level skills and higher education upon graduation from high school. Before the “K to 12”
Program, two curricula were in effect: the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) 2002 and the Secondary
Education Curriculum (SEC) 2010. These two curricula are aimed at promoting functional literacy
and lifelong learning. With the new “K to 12” Program introduced in 2012, the aim is to promote
holistic skill development leading to employment and higher education. The keywords of the “K to
12” Program can be summed up as “preparation” for higher education, “eligibility” for entrance to
overseas tertiary educational institutes, and lawful “employability.” (Okabe, M. (2013). Where does
Philippine education go?: the” K to 12” program and reform of Philippine basic education.)
As society advances, graduates must be at all aspects eligible for the various in-demand careers
PR
in the present times. To conform with the changes taking place in society, graduates must be honed
O
and trained under various trends in education for them to cope with the advancements. Various
PE
21st-century skills are needed that cannot be acquired on the traditional curriculum or traditional
means of learning. For an instance, the integration of ICT in the teaching and learning process helps
R
in developing the media, information, and literacy skills within the learners. If we are to settle on the
TY
traditional curriculum and just be contented on the past programs in the educational sector, the
O
chance of letting our education system go down the hole is very high. With the various educational
F
reforms that are being implemented, the country was given the chance to upgrade not just the
BE
competence of the learners but also the quality of graduates. One downside being emphasized of
YO
the anti-K12 is the number of graduates. Many learners choose not to enroll in college because of
the long years they have spent on basic education. However, if we let this issue hold on to the goal
N
of the education system of our country, there could be a chance that we are to produce a bunch of
D
incompetent graduates. After all, we are chasing quality here and not quantity.
BO
Machines dominated almost all workplaces nowadays. It has become one of the most significant
O
tools inside the working environment. If we let our graduates finish without thorough training,
KS
employers might as well hire machines than pay numbers of incompetent employees.
PU
To respond to the demands and challenges of the twenty-first century, the Philippines has
recently undertaken educational reforms that transition and shift its 10-year basic education into
BL
a K-12 curriculum. Such initiatives, as stated in the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, aim to
IC
expand students’ programs of learning, improve access to quality education, form individuals,
AT
who can contribute to the wider community, and boost the global competitiveness of the Filipino
workforce. (G Adarlo, L Jackson - Educating for the 21st Century, 2017)
IO
N
The growing need to address issues impacted by globalization, such as poverty alleviation,
sustainable development, and peaceful coexistence, resulted in a series of interconnected curricular
changes that emphasize a student-centered, culturally responsive, inclusive, and integrative
approach that is inclusive of all students. Although the impact of these educational reforms on the
cohort of students enrolled in the full K-12 system has yet to be determined, the curriculum guides
released by the Department of Education reflect how the younger generation of Filipinos is expected
to face the challenges of the twenty-first century in the Philippines.
The various reformations in the education system cannot be depleted nor degraded in the sense
that it aims to address the existing issues in the contemporary context. The different programs are
the products of researches and studies of those individuals who seek to alleviate the state of our
country in terms of education. If these reformations were ineffective, there should be a change
taking place. However, as observed, it continues to exist. Moreover, various developments are
being evident as well as innovations which in turn, help the country produce locally and globally
competitive individuals.

ABSTRACT
PR
This study was an attempt to assess school heads’ competency in the National Competency-Based
Standard for School Head (NCBS-SH) and how it affects their school performance.
O
PE
This study employed descriptive research design. There were two groups of respondents in this study,
the school head and teacher – respondents who were selected from secondary schools in the Divisions
R
TY
of Laguna and San Pablo City with a total of thirty-nine (39) school heads and four-hundred sixteen (416)
teachers. A survey questionnaire was the main data-gathering instrument used in this study distributed
O
in the different schools in the Divisions of Laguna and San Pablo City.
F
BE
After careful interpretation of gathered data, the findings of this study is as follows: 1) The perceived
competency of school head is high as indicated by the verbal interpretation of outstanding and very
YO
satisfactory; 2) The performance level of school heads is high as perceived both by the two group of
N
respondents; 3) The perceptions of the two groups of respondents as regards to school heads competency
D
was found to have significant differences in some indicators of the variables; 4) There is no significant

differences on the perceptions of the two group of respondents as regards to school heads performance
level in four variables, while in terms of school community linkages (t=2.034,p=.043) it is found out that
O
KS
there is a significant differences on their perceptions; and 6) It is found out that some of the perceived
competency of school heads affect significantly on their performance level.
PU
Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions were derived:
BL
1) The hypothesis that there is no significant difference on the perceptions of the two groups of
IC
respondents on school heads competency is partially accepted since there are indicators on the school
AT
heads competency where the perceptions of the respondents are significantly different. 2) The hypothesis
IO
which state that there is no significant differences on the perceptions of the two group of respondents
N
on school heads performance level is partially accepted since there are variables on the school heads
performance level where the perceptions of the respondents are significantly different, and 3) On the
hypothesis that the perceived competency of school heads singly or in combination do not affect school
heads performance level is partially accepted since there are indicators of school heads competency
which statistically significantly affect performance level of school heads.
In the light of the findings and conclusions of this study, the following recommendations are hereby
given: 1) District Supervisors and Superintendents should motivate the school heads to attend educational
management training and seminar to improve school heads competency and performance; 2) Further
monitoring and evaluation of school heads competency and school performance must be conducted
to provide adequate technical assistance, seminar and training in school educational management; 3)
Upgrade and enhance the NCBS-SH variables which enrich the School Based Management by including
curriculum leadership; and 4) Further research studies are recommended along the areas of competency
and school performance using other variables which were not included in the present study.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

Anna Liza F. Pascual
Teacher III
Ballesteros National High School
ABSTRACT
Following the descriptive research design, the extent of the implementation of the guidelines,
rules and policies of the DepEd’s Child Protection Policy in the secondary school was assessed. This
study was conceptualized with the use of the theory of Behaviorist under Watson using the learning
principles to change behaviors.
PR
Finding reveal that teachers were predominantly females, married, and with an average age of
O
38.80 years old. Most of the teachers have finished their master’s degree and some are taking up
PE
doctorate degree and the average years in the service is 11.54. In addition, most of the parents involved
R
in school affairs are female and married with an average age of 36.58 years old. Most of them are high
TY
school graduates.
O
Most often behavioral problems experienced by teachers are truancy and inattentiveness.
F
BE
Sometimes, teachers are also facing students who keep on teasing or bullying their classmates which
is the cause of quarrelling or keep shouting with each other. Sometimes, tardiness, speaking indecent
YO
words and negligence of studies are also some of the behavioral problems met by the teachers in their
N
daily meeting with their students. Seldom, teachers have problems about the students’ restlessness
D
and dishonesty. On the other hand, this study found out that learners or high school students rarely
BO
smoke, drink liquor and gamble.

O
Some of the forms of child abuse which are not so prevalent in the school being exhibited by
KS
teachers are pulling hair, pushing and throwing things to the learners, and psychological. The forms
PU
of child abuse which are found to be “Never” as assessed by the teachers are Cyber-bullying, forcing
the learner to watch obscene and rape/sexual harassment.
BL
This study found out that parents and teachers agree that the school head forms the child

AT
preliminary hearing and both parties of the complaint are invited to the hearing and if the complaint
IO
is not settled, it is elevated to the division office and if the case is settled, both parties sign a settlement
N
agreement.
This study hypothesized that there is no difference between the assessment of the teachers and
parents on the implementation of the Child Protection Policy. Result of t-test shows that the t-value of
1.049 has a probability value of 0.296 which is greater than 0.05 level. Thus, the hypothesis is accepted.
This study also theorized that there is no relationship between the assessment of teachers on
the implementation of Child Protection Policy and their select profile variables. Correlation analysis
yielded correlation coefficients whose associated probability values are lower than 0.05 level. As such,
the hypothesis is rejected.
Lastly, this study conjectured that the assessment of parents on the implementation of Child
Protection Policy is not significantly related to their select profile variables. Correlation analysis resulted
with correlation coefficient which associated probability values lower than 0.05, hence, the hypothesis
is rejected.

healthcare quality, and environmental sustainability. Urban hydroponic programs intermixed

IO
with technological innovation can create resilient urban food systems, thereby speeding up
N
the realization of food security. As a result, executing the program improves self-sufficiency
while reducing vulnerability to surprises. Urban hydroponic must be incorporated into urban
planning and backed by policies. The study does not necessarily address food miles and
transportation issues. Furthermore, finding appropriate locations to set up the program
requires further research.

was used to assess students’ entrepreneurial competencies using statistical methods such as
mean, standard deviation, correlation, and regression analysis through SPSS 20. The results of
BL
IC
this analysis focused on competencies that significantly influence students’ entrepreneurial

AT
competencies with financial assistance qualification processes. These key entrepreneurial

IO
competencies as perceived by students were ranked as entrepreneurial skill, knowledge of

N
entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial attitude. Each of the individual competencies also

indicated positive correlation between independent and dependent variables. The research
results may aid students in their journey into the entrepreneurial landscape related to
professional improvement to boost private wealth and seek a better-balanced life. The article
also rigorously encourages the growth of entrepreneurship competence at all academic levels
by interweaving entrepreneurship competence into the school curriculum, theoretical studies
of different subjects, and suitable learning mechanisms.

SCHOOL HEADS’ INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP AND

SUPERVISORY PRACTICES: ITS INFLUENCE ON THE
TEACHERS INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY
Carlos S. Celestino Jr., PhD
Principal II
DepEd SDO Cabanatuan City
ABSTRACT
PR
The main problem of the study attempts to describe the school heads’ instructional
leadership practices and supervisory and the teachers’ instructional delivery. It also tried to
O
PE
determine the relationship between the school heads’ instructional leadership and supervisory
practices; school heads and teachers of different districts differ in their instructional leadership
R
TY
and supervisory practices and instructional delivery, respectively.

The study used a descriptive design. It described the level of school heads’ performance
O
F
in instructional leadership practices and supervisory and the level of elementary teachers’
BE
instructional delivery.
YO
The respondents in this study are the fifty-one school heads and seven hundred seventy-
one elementary teachers in the SDO Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.
N
D
The findings revealed that the School Heads had an outstanding performance in instructional
BO
leadership and supervisory practices. However, elementary teachers had a very satisfactory
O
performance in their instructional delivery of the daily lesson. Also, the relationship between
KS
instructional leadership and supervisory practices of school heads is significant; the school
PU
heads of different districts differ in their instructional leadership and supervisory practices.
However, the teachers instructional delivery had no significant difference.
BL
The data revealed that different instructional leadership and supervisory practices enforced
IC
and applied by school heads in their respective school assignment still emerged that teachers
AT
do not differ in their instructional delivery. Thus, instructional leadership and supervisory
IO
practices cannot influence the teaching delivery of the teachers.

N
It observed that the teachers impose the traditional way of teaching approach. Teachers
primarily use three methods for the delivery of instruction (1) direct instruction - lecture format,
(2) individual instruction – seatwork, and (3) group work. While the content and anticipated
student outcomes drive the percentage of the delivery method used, effective teachers usually
implement it in their instructional design. Teachers can implement all three approaches to
discipline as well 1) provide content (intervention), 2) allow students to process content
(facilitate), 3) provide feedback (interact).
Teachers must assess the percentage of time allowed for each teaching method used in
their classroom as part of the learning environment assessment process. This assessment
alone may identify causes for disruptive behavior. Too much direct instruction impeded the
opportunities to clarify information and develop understanding. Too much-individualized
instruction restricts structured socialization and interaction - for this population.

ABSTRACT
PR
Ang pag-aaral na ito ay naglalayong matukoy ang kabisaan ng panonood ng mga akdang pampanitikan
sa pag-unawa ng mga mag-aaral. Panonood gamit ang motion pictures na may subtitles, video na
O
isinadula ng mag-aaral at video na hango sa YouTube. Malaki ang maitutulong ng pag-aaral na ito upang
PE
higit na mabigyang pagpapahalaga ang mga akdang pampanitikan ng Pilipinas na nagbubuklod ng

R
kultura at kasaysayan maging ang lahing pinagmulan nito. Naglalayong maipabatid sa tagaplano ng
TY
kurikulum, tagamasid at tagapangasiwa ng paaralan na ang panonood ng akdang pampanitikan ay

mabisa at malaki ang naitutulong sa mga guro upang mapadali ang aralin at mas higit na mapaunawa
O
sa mag-aaral ang nilalaman ng akda. Makatutulong din ito sa pagbuo ng iba’t ibang ideya at estratehiya
F
sa paglinang ng makrong kasanayan lalo na sa kasanayan sa panonood.

BE
Ginamit sa pag-aaral na ito ang eksperimental na pananaliksik upang matiyak ang datos na nakalap
YO
sa dalawang grupo – ang grupong kontrolado (pagbasa) at grupong eksperimental (panonood). Ang
N
mananaliksik ay pumili ng mag-aaral mula sa baitang 7 ng Mataas na Paaralan ng Polo sa paraang

D
convenient sampling - dalawang grupo na nakakuha ng mababa sa unang markahang pagsusulit.

BO
Upang makita ang kabisaan ng panonood ng akdang pampanitikan, ang mananaliksik ay nagturo at
O
nagbigay ng mga pagsusulit (pre-test at post-test) sa parehong grupo ng mga mag-aaral. Ito ang naging
KS
kagamitan upang makita ang kabisaan ng pag-aaral at sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng mean, variance,
standard diviation - sinukat ang hangganan o serye ng mga numero. Gamit din ang t-test upang masuri
PU
kung may makabuluhan bang pagkakaiba sa pretest at posttest ng dalawang grupo.

BL
Nasagot ang mga suliraning inilahad ng mananaliksik at natuklasan ang: Una, mayroon nang pantay na
pag-unawa ang dalawang grupo batay sa resulta ng kanilang pretest kahit wala pang gaanong kaalaman
IC
ang mga mag-aaral para sa magiging aralin na nagpapakita na ang kanilang pagganap ay maaari
AT
pang mapaghusay sa paraan ng pagtuturo ng guro; Ikalawa, naging balakid sa grupong kontrolado ang
IO
pagbabasa lamang ng akda, mapapansin na mabagal magbasa, hirap makaunawa sa mga malalim na
N
pahayag o salita, at kakikitaan din ng katamaran sa pagbasa lalo na kung mahaba ang babasahin. Ang
grupong eksperimental naman ay mas napukaw ang interes at kinasaya ang panonood na naging dahilan
upang makakuha ng mas magandang resulta sa posttest, bagama’t higit na mataas ang nakuha ng grupong
eksperimental, naipakita pa rin na parehong tumaas ang huling pagsusulit na nagpapatunay na nasa
guro pa rin ang pamamaraan o estratehiya kung paano n’ya lubos na mapauunawa sa mga mag-aaral
ang mga akdang pampanitikan ; Ikatlo, nabigyang patunay na may implikasyon ang pagkatuto ng mag-
aaral na nanood kaysa nagbasa sapagkat nagkaroon ng higit na pag-unawa ang grupong eksperimental
sa tulong ng biswal, naging malaki ang adbentahe ng panonood upang higit na mailarawan ang bawat
detalye sa pangyayari at maunawaan ang mensaheng nais iparating ng akda, nakatulong ang musika,
tunog at boses na kanilang naririnig na nakapukaw sa kanilang isipan at damdamin, kinawilihan at naging
dahilan upang mapataas ang marka sa asignaturang Filipino; at Ikalima, bagama’t parehong tumaas ang
marka sa learning gain ng dalawang grupo, napatunayang ang mag-aaral sa grupong eksperimental ang
higit na nagpakita ng interes dahilan upang mas higit na umangat ang kanilang natamong pagkatuto at
malalim na pag-unawa sa akdang pampanitikan.

ABSTRACT
PR
Through Oplan Balik Eskwela and Brigada Eskwela 2022, Don Alejandro Roces Sr. Science-Technology
High School has engaged all its stakeholders in preparing all classrooms and facilities for its learning
O
PE
environment to become conducive for our learners. This effort is in accordance with the full implementation
of the face-to-face learning modality. Students come to us with unique life experiences, at different
R
TY
starting points, and need individualized attention. Our student’s differences are assets, not liabilities. Our
learning recovery and continuity plan is forward-thinking and focuses on each student, the quality of their
O
F
learning, and their outcomes. This means not slowing down or looking back at lost ‘seat time’ stolen by a
BE
global pandemic but instead stepping on the gas and removing barriers and addressing gaps so each
student can achieve their full potential. On the first and the second week of classes starting on August 22,
YO
2022, students were provided with Grade Appropriate Mathematics Assessment to determine their level
N
of numeracy skills. Table 1 shows the result of the assessment.

IO
The table shows that among Grade 7 students 32% got below-average scores and 17% got above-
N
average scores. In the Grade 8 level, 41 % scored below average and 7% scored above average. In the
Grade 9 level 40% scored below average and 21% scored above average while in the Grade 10 level, 17
% scored below average and 54% scored above average. All examinees combined show a total of 32%
scored below average and 25% above average.
DARSSTHS Mathematics Department seeks to recover any learning loss among our students because of
the school’s non-face-to-face implementation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This plan seeks to bridge
the school’s mission of developing students’ numeracy with the plan to link the achievement gaps they
may have suffered over the past years. The ultimate purpose of this plan is to identify learning pathways
that adequately prepare students to be well-rounded and career ready while taking into consideration
social-emotional and academic losses students may have suffered.
Additionally, this plan will support the school in integrating higher-order thinking skills through
problem-solving in teaching and learning which research shows are crucial to developing lifelong critical
page 79
thinkers in the 21st Century. To achieve its goals, the Mathematics Department will implement a program
of excellence in mathematics through math remediation interventions with diagnostic test results as our
baseline. To capture student learning loss, and to accelerate their learning, the Math Department will hold
these interventions during or after math class hours including Saturdays within this school year 2022-
2023 at the very least. Finally, the Math Department will seek the help of the DARSSTHS alumni, formerly
Math enthusiasts for additional instructional support, and train Math talented students through Math
instructional coaches and trainers.
Math Teachers are exemplified in the school’s vision that, “At the end of three years, the school will
evolve into a more resilient learning environment where all personnel are flexible and dynamic, making
our learner future ready in both local and global arena. Reinvent teachers through access to creative
opportunities in building their skills and enhancing their potential as designers of learning experiences
as well as to become globally competitive in a VUCA (Volatility Uncertainty Complexity Ambiguity) world.
Schools excel in partnership by the active engagement of parents, local governing units, NGOs, and
PR
private individuals amplified with socio-economic involvement and sustained interest in participating in
the implementation of programs, activities, and projects under the School Improvement Plan”.
O
PE
Our learning goals are centered on three critical areas of numeracy: Basic Math operations involving real
R
numbers; Solving problems related to real-life situations; and Building self-confidence in communicating
TY
mathematically.
O
Project e-GLIMPSE (eliminate Gaps in Learning by Igniting Mathematics Passion Solidifying Excellence)
F
in linking the numeracy gaps of the learners will be launched. In this program, our approach will be
BE
to pinpoint areas of strengths and areas in which students need support, through Grade Appropriate
YO
Math Assessment. Through ILMP or Individual Learning Monitoring Plan, teachers will be guided to adjust
N
instructions to achieve learning goals. Teachers will also provide personalized support depending on the
D
needs of every learner. This means, maximizing the 4 hours of instruction in a week or even after class
BO
or during weekends as an extension, when necessary for teaching and learning guided activities. The
O
significance of the program supports struggling learners and builds their confidence in tackling math
KS
concepts. Through highly structured Daily Lesson Logs or Weekly Learning Plans, quality assured learning
materials like video lessons, excellent PPTs aligned with the MELCS, remediation materials/ worksheets,
PU
and exemplary instructional practices of the Math Teachers, surely, the foundational/numeracy skills of
BL
the learners will be improved, and their mathematical understanding will be developed.
IC
Students in the e-GLIMPSE program will be able to: grasp critical fundamentals; establish a foundation
AT
for vital skills; progress to more complicated concepts; develop a deeper awareness of Math by improving
IO
students’ literacy, numeracy, and life skills; and link learning losses during the pandemic.
N
Differentiated classroom instructions or class observations where highly skilled Math teachers
will showcase their best practices in classroom learning will take place to enhance learning. This is
where students’ learning styles match instruction for the achievement of the goal and ensure quality
performance through classroom observations, feedback, and providing technical assistance. Peer
tutoring for slow learners in Math by pairing advanced students with struggling learners can also be a
strategy. The advanced students are the tutors, and the struggling learners are the tutees. This will help
learners to take responsibility for their learning and their ability to recognize and accept responsibility
for basic improvement. School Heads and the Head Teacher in charge of Mathematics shall monitor the
implementation of the numeracy program. Teachers shall conduct quarterly assessments and post-test
to monitor the progress of the learners and ensure students’ improved numeracy skills.
Finally, the Mathematics Department through the partnership of Math Elite Guild will conduct a school
based Gawad Parangal to give recognition to students who showed improvement in learning outcomes.

District for School Year 2016-2017
Frelyn Orpilla
Teacher III
Montero Elementary School
ABSTRACT
This study determined the level of emotional intelligence of teachers in Bantay District Schools Division
of Ilocos Sur, for School Year 2016-2017. The relationship between emotional intelligence and profile of the
respondents was also looked into.
PR
The respondents of this study included all the 170 teachers and 18 school administrators of Bantay
O
District.
PE
The descriptive-correlation method for investigation was used. The standard of measurement teston
R
TY
emotional intelligence constructed by the Department of Mental Health, the Ministry of Public Health,
Thailand and used in the study of Pratomthong (2002) was adopted as the instrument for data collection.
O
The test consists of three dimensions: Goodness (self-control, empathy and responsibility); Capability
F
(motivation, decision-making, problem solving and responsibility); and Happiness (pride of one’s self,
BE
life satisfaction, and calmness). Frequency count and percentage, mean, and simple linear correlation
YO
analysis were utilized in this study. For a more in-depth study, interview with the teachers was done.
N
The findings revealed that most of the respondents are in the middle age, married, female, have small
D
number of children, belong to nuclear family type, old in the service, earned master’s units, occupying high
BO
ranks, receiving a big monthly salary enough for them to live a decent life, are given special designation
and healthy that lead them to function well in work.
O
KS
The Teachers of Bantay District, Schools Division of Ilocos Sur have “High” level of Emotional Intelligence
(EI) which could be attributed to their expertise in dealing with their own and others’ emotion. They
PU
are all educated and many gained a post graduate education that made them grow personally and
BL
professionally.
IC
On the overall, there is no significant relationship between the emotional intelligence of the teachers
and their profile. However, some teacher-related variables were significantly related to some dimensions
AT
and sub-dimensions of emotional intelligence such as: age to responsibility, family type to decision
IO
making and calmness, number of children to relationship with others, monthly salary to empathy, and
N
health status to responsibility, life satisfaction, calmness and happiness.

Interview sessions revealed that they are passionate, empathic, and confident to do work, optimistic
and have good relationship with their colleague which is congruent to their “High” level of emotional
intelligence.
Based on the findings, the following recommendations are forwarded: The teachers in Bantay District
may be encouraged to finish their master’s degree and should not be only contented in earning units
because this would improve their sense of self-worth and pride, and in order to grow professionally.
Activities like life skills training and emotional wellness may be conducted to enhance or maintain
the emotional wellness may be conducted to enhance or maintain the emotional intelligence of the
teachers. Older teachers may serve as mentors to younger teachers and inculcate in them the value
of responsibility, empathy, calmness, and decision making. Administrators may plan team building
activities for the teachers to improve their interpersonal skills. Teachers may be encouraged to be health
conscious so that they will enjoy life to the fullest and work well to the best of their ability.

The Principle of Reward and Punishment

Towards Playing Moods During P. E. in
Select Grade 10 STUDENTS
Gerald June D. Namit
Teacher I
Mainit High School-Kapisahan Extension
ABSTRACT
PR
Behavior is the way in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially toward others. Each person
has different kinds of behavior depending on the factors around them. The researcher thinks that the
O
behavior of the grade 10 students during P.E. discussion is affected by their playing moods.
PE
Based on the observation in Mainit High School-Kapisahan Extension most of the hyper active students
R
TY
who are always in playing mood are male and influenced by their peers.
This study aims to determine the influence of playing mood towards the behavior of the students in
O
P.E. discussion and the effectivity of the principle of reward and punishment or logical consequences in
F
BE
Grade 10 students.
Thus, the study will reveal if the strategies applied are effective. It also aims to know what are the
YO
teaching styles and strategies that are effective in dealing with the students who are in playing moods.
N
Lastly, it desires to see if there are changes on the student’s behavior based on the teacher’s teaching
D
styles and strategies.

BO
If the students fail to follow instructions of the teacher while having discussion they will lose the
O
chance to have physical activities outside which they don’t like that to happened. If they follow the rules
KS
or instruction they can have the activities outside which they like it very much. Stand firm on the rules,
PU
sacrifice the planned lesson for the day if necessary. These instructions are for them to have a conducive
learning and for them to become a students with good behavior while having discussion inside the
BL
classroom.
IC
In assuming that human behavior is learned, behaviorists also hold that all behaviors can also be
AT
unlearned, and replaced by new behaviors. That is when a behavior becomes unacceptable, it can be
IO
replaced by an acceptable one. A key element to this theory of learning is the rewarded response. The
N
desired response must be rewarded in order for learning to take place. (Parkay & Hass, 2000).
The result of the strategy is very effective. It was a success seeing the student’s changed their behavior.
They listen when the teacher discuss, raise their right hand if they have questions or ideas, no one answers
in chorus, sits down properly, no transferring of seats, form their line properly and silently in going outside
and going inside the classroom. My students in Grade 10 are now able to follow instructions and I only
have a very least problem when it comes to classroom management.
There are appropriate disciplinary actions or teaching strategies depending on the types of students.
My strategy in Grade 10 students might not be effective in other grade levels. It is important to know
your student’s behavior and attitude before formulating a teaching or disciplinary strategy so that it will
be effective. I recommend this strategy for all the teachers to continue and improve the strategy. This
strategy is very effective in classroom management if it will be used properly and wisely. It helps me a lot
on my seven years of journey in teaching students in Mainit High School-Kapisahan Extension which is
located in Brgy. Mainit, Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Philippines, 9200.

TRANING NEEDS OF TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD

EDUCATION TEACHERS AND THEIR COPING
MECHANISM: BASIS FOR TRAINING DESIGN
Jackylyn Parañaque-Tamargo
Teacher III
Ballesteros National High School
ABSTRACT
The study aimed to determine the training needs and the coping mechanisms of the Technology and
PR
Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers to come up with a training design suited to their needs.
O
There were 60 junior and senior teacher-respondents, mostly female from the different national high
PE
school in the western part of the Second Congressional District of Cagayan.

R
Data were gathered through normative-survey with a questionnaire checklist as the main data
TY
gathering instrument and further verified and augmented through interviews and observations by the
O
researcher. The normative survey method used statistics and values considered normal for the group
F
surveyed to understand and collect data on a specific subject. All the information gathered were
BE
compared to the social norms for the group surveyed and tested. This determined the training needs
YO
of the TLE teachers and their competencies in instructional skills and professional knowledge. Likewise,
it looked into the preferred strategies of teacher-respondents in teaching TLE. The data gathered were
N
tabulated, analyzed and interpreted using the Likert Scale, frequency count, percentage, rank, mean,
D
standard deviation, T-test, chi-square and Kendall’s tau-b. The results of the analysis were the bases
BO
in the formulation of the summary of findings, conclusions, recommendations and the development of
O
training designs.
KS
From the findings, the following were disclosed. Most survey respondents were 30 to 34-year-old
married women and most of them do not have education degrees. The study indicated that most
PU
teachers have Master’s degree units and are Teachers III and II. Home Economics area is mostly taught
BL
and as of writing, most had taught for 4 years or less.

IC
Most teachers have attended Home Economics seminar, specifically, Front Office Services and Agri-
AT
Fisfery Arts seminar on Agricultural Crops Production, Organic Agriculture, and Pest Management but
IO
just two have attended an Industrial Arts lecture. One teacher-respondent attended an ICT seminar on
Computer Systems Servicing.
N
The study found out that teachers are knowledgeable about resource people, written resources, and
graphic materials. The study revealed that teachers are skilled with visual, audio, and other tools and are
proficient in inductive, deductive, inquiry, and modelling tactics and methodologies. They are particularly
good at routinizing things.
The survey indicated that teachers are quite proficient with Form Completion and Plan Preparation.
Conversely, teachers are competent in teaching Home Economics, Industrial arts and ICT and are
moderately skilled in Agri-fishery Arts.
Furthermore, teachers are very skilled at creating formal evaluations, can create informal, anecdotal,
and cumulative records. Most of them prioritized ICT training and that laboratory is the preferred teaching
method.
Most respondents preferred one-month training, according to the study and that teachers had a “high
degree” of coping mechanisms for professional development and classroom management.
The survey discovered a considerable discrepancy between respondents’ service lengths and current
page 83
positions. Specializations and teaching loads are closely correlated. Finally, teachers’ coping mechanisms
for instructional tactics and professional development are linked.
In the light of the foregoing results of the study, it can be concluded that majority of the teachers
are young with mean age of 37.9, female dominated with 75 percent, most of them are married with 70
percent, graduate of different bachelor’s degree other than education with 50 percent and specialized
in other field aside from the 4 areas of TLE with 45 percent, and with an average length of service of 8.13.
In terms of using instructional materials, teachers are competent in terms of inviting resource persons,
printed materials, and graphic materials. The study also revealed that the teachers are competent in
terms of pictorial materials and audio-visual, and miscellaneous resources. They are also competent
across all areas namely: Inductive, Deductive, Inquiry method, and Modelling procedure. In terms
of routinizing activities, the study found out that they are very competent. Also, the teachers are very
competent along Accomplishment of forms, and Preparation of plans.
In terms of evaluation and testing tools, teachers were seen to be very competent in devising formal
evaluations. On the other hand, the teachers are competent in concocting informal, anecdotal and
cumulative records. The study highlighted that training needs and priorities of the TLE teachers heavily
PR
load on Information and Communications Technology. Likewise, the study highlighted that the teachers
O
very much preferred “laboratory” as their primary teaching strategy.

PE
As to training days, they come up on a month-long training and have a high degree of coping
R
mechanisms for professional development and classroom management. Their present position is highly
TY
related to their length of service, field of specialization and teaching strategies.

O
Furthermore, the training design is based on the first priority training of the teachers as prescribed by
F
their Individual Priority Program for Development (IPPD).

BE
In the light of the findings and conclusions of the study, the researcher hereby recommends the
YO
following:
1. The Department of Education must ensure that teachers who were employed to teach specialized
N
D
subjects in the basic education institutions are competent in handling different teaching-learning
routines. This will ensure a smooth sailing flow of instruction between the teacher and the learner.
BO
2. The TLE Supervisors must ensure to offer trainings to teachers specialized in the different components
O
of TLE to prepare themselves for the skills needed by the 21st century learners.
KS
3. The TESDA must ensure to provide reference materials to augment and enrich the contents of the
PU
competencies to improve the teaching of TLE. Through this, teachers can provide learners the
necessary skills needed to be globally-competitive graduates.
BL
4. School Heads must encourage his/her subordinates to join trainings and seminars in and out the
IC
region to equip these teachers with adequate strategies in teaching their specialization.
AT
5. Teachers must attend trainings and seminars relevant to their field. This will supplement the
IO
teaching knowledge, pedagogy and techniques they have in handling their subjects moving
N
forward. This must be actualized, most especially that the study found out that majority of the
preparation of teachers in the bachelor’s degree is not aligned to teacher education.
6. Community should offer an avenue for the learners to practice the skills acquired from the teacher
to be ready in the field of work.
7. Parents should provide full support to the advocacy of the department and proper guidance should
be employed to ensure proper outlook of education for the learners. They should join trainings/
seminars so that they can cope with the new normal situation.
8. Learners must take advantage on the preparation of the teachers, for they-being the end-products
of education. The preparation of the teachers speaks of everything of how well the learners would
become.
9. The Researchers would become instruments of change if they would put into practice all the
competence and skills they developed in the trainings. Technically, they would turn learners into
better persons who would make a difference.

page 87
contextualized from the ideas of an access school system.

As stated by Pales-Calmorin (2010) this study is focused to the present situation “what is”. The purpose
is to find new truth. There new truth are valuable in: providing essential knowledge about the nature of
object and person; for closes observation into the practices, behavior method and procedures, playing
a large part in the development of instrument for the measurement of many things, and formulating of
policies in the local, national or international level. Similarly, as described by Estalas and Boquin (2001)
descriptive and interprets prevailing condition as relationship that exist or don’t exist, practices that prevail
as do not, belief as point of view or attitude that are held, processes that ar4e going on or otherwise,
effects that are being felt or trents that are developing. The true meaning of the data collected should be
reported from the point of view of the objective and the basic assumption of the study presented.
The choice of this method is deemed appropriate since the study is to determine and analyze the
implementation of the school based management practices such as leadership and governance,
curriculum and instruction, accountability and continuous improvement plan and management
resources in relation to the school performance with the last there in the Division City of Pasig with the

Summary
The study arrived at the following findings:
1. On the assessment of the three grouped of respondents in the School-Based Management in the
Public Elementary Schools in the Division of Pasig City:
The assessments of the three groups of respondents on the level of implementation of the school-
based management resulted that the district supervisors and the teachers both rated all components of
the school-based management as implemented as shown by their ratings of 3.70, 3.92, 3.89, and 3.86 for
the district supervisors; and 3.56, 4.07, 4.12, and 3.78 for the teachers.
However, the School Administrators rated all components as highly implemented as evidenced by the
obtained mean values of 4.46, 4.49, 4.52, and 4.39, respectively.
2. On the significant difference in the assessment of the three groups of respondents as to the
aforementioned variables:
The assessments of the district supervisors and the School Administrators resulted to t values of 1.918
PR
for Leadership and Governance, 2.080 for Accountability and Continuous Improvement, and 2.337 for

and dependent sample means. In this point of view both modalities have been used by the
O
KS
division are both effective and have significance in this new normal.
In the light of the findings of this action research, the following conclusions and
PU
recommendations are presented Since both of the modalities of learning such as blended
BL
and face to face are accepted, it means that the teachers and pupils can still use these as
IC
alternative to continue education in this new normal. However, the fact that though the results
AT
of both modalities are significant, the mean of .23333 made blended modality more effective
IO
than face to face. It means that when there is interaction between the teacher and the learner
N
and between the learner and the learners, and the learner with the module, then still quality
education is more possible. Thus, when the learner can directly ask the teacher what he/she
doesn’t understand or confusing regarding the lesson, learning will take place right away and
will not be neglected. Problems or conflict with regard to learning will be addressed right away.
The researcher believes that in this new normal, both modalities of learning have significance.
Blended Learning and face to face Learning must continue, must be enhanced and must
be supported by all stakeholders. The issues, conflict and problems that have encountered
along the way must be addressed and must be given interventions. Education must continue
even in times of crisis, whether it may be a calamity, disaster, emergency, quarantine, or even
war according to Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones and no Filipino learner will be left behind.
Everybody must do his/her share for the children and for the country.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF

GRADE 7 ARALING PANLIPUNAN LEARNERS IN JUNIOR
HIGH SCHOOL: BASIS FOR INTERVENTION PLAN
Maria Babylou S. Caramonte

Flora A. Ylagan High School
ABSTRACT
PR
The extent of student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades a learner
earns for a period of learning has been done. It is believed that a grade is a primary indicator
O
of such learning. If a learner earns high grades, it is concluded that they may also have learned
PE
a lot while low grades indicate lesser learning .Indeed, teacher plays an important role in the
R
intellectual development of the students, using various assessments and teaching styles to
TY
improve students’ performance in school subjects. School subjects’ performance is determined

O
by giving an achievement test. As a result, several studies have been conducted to asses’ factors
F
that contribute to learners’ academic performance. However, there is inadequate materials to

BE
explain factors contributing to improvement in the academic performance of Araling Panlipunan

YO
Grade 7 learners in Junior High School.

N
The result of the study is significant to the learners.The study will help learners to be aware
D
of the factors that hinders their academic performance. Parents will know the strength and
BO
weakness of their children and the role they have to play to ensure that their children obtain
O
good grades. Teachers can benefit to improve the performances of the students. They would
KS
be able to identify their weakness as well as those of their students and plan strategically.
Curriculum Writers will serve as a guide and bases in designing a curriculum that addresses the
PU
factors affecting the academic performance.School Heads will sought to address this challenge
BL
by assessing factors that contribute to improvement in the academic performance of grade 7

IC
Araling Panlipunan learners.

AT
This study used the descriptive method which is comparative in nature. The design is
IO
appropriate when the purpose of the researcher is to establish the relationship between and
N
among variables and find out the direction and extent of relationship between and among the
variables of the population under study.
Based on the findings, the researcher was encouraged and motivated to design an
intervention Plan to address the factors affecting the academic performance of Grade 7 learners
by all Grade 7 Araling Panlipunan teachers in Junior High School.
The academic performance of Grade 7 Araling Panlipunan learners was recorded as
satisfactory and need an intervention by both parents and teachers for better achievement. The
academic performance of grade 7 Araling Panlipunan learners was affected by foregoing factors.
There is a moderate positive correlation significant difference between academic performance
and Personal factor, Teacher Factor, School Factor, and Environmental Factor. An intervention
plan is proposed to guide both the school and parents in improving the scholastic performance
of their children and school outcomes. The school heads and teachers concur that the proposed

ABSTRACT
PR
Education is the foundation of society, like technology, which drives globalization

O
PE
and industrialization. Computers are replacing books in education. One click can
R
TY
Google anything. These changes are relevant to COVID 19, the current global situation.
O
Amid the pandemic, government agencies propose online learning for 2020-2021. This
F
BE
study assessed high school students’ online and modular learning performance at
YO
Tanauan City Integrated High School. The researcher used descriptive quantitative
N
D
method to determine the online and modular student performance. Pearson r

Master Teacher I
ABSTRACT
This study focused on the changes in the depth of learning of fifth grade students
PR
of Ususan Elementary School through the use of Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM)
O
PE
or the 5R’s of Waste Management Module. The experiment was conducted under two
R
sets of students (50 students per set) with almost similar averages in their depths of
TY
learning to produce more accurate results.

O
F
Pretest-Posttest method was in the study, this is the most appropriate method
BE
in order to make a better comparison about the improvement on their (students)

YO
performance levels towards the topic. A pretest was given to the students to establish
N
the research foundation. After establishing a common ground on both sections one
D
BO
set was given a module and the other set proceeds without using a module, after
O
thorough discussions and activities both sets have to take a posttest to measure
KS
how much improvement both set made after the recitation days of the topic. The
PU
experimental group (group that used the SIM) made 88.96% of mean percentage
BL
score while the controlled group tallied 80.73% of MPS, although both group seems to
IC
have similar MPS it is evident that the experimental group has increased significantly
AT
tallying a 20.21% increase in their performance level compared to the 14.79% increase
IO
N
for the controlled group.

For my recommendation as a researcher and a teacher, I would like to emphasize
how significant it is to choose the most appropriate teaching method to allow better
understanding towards the topic you want to impart. Innovation should never be a
hindrance but an instrument for the empowerment of your teaching abilities, the rest
will follow.

TWO PUPILS OF ALANGILAN CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
ON MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
Shellafe A. Minlaud
Teacher III
Alangilan Central Elementary School
ABSTRACT
Rationale
The action research entitled “ Parents Involvement In Teaching Reading Among Grade Two Pupils Of
PR
Alangilan Central Elementary School On Modular Distance Learning” was conducted to find out the reading
skills of the pupils through reading simple words, phrasvves, sentences, short paragraph/ stories poems and
O
rhymes during COVID 19 Pandemic as reflected in the analysis and interpretation of the results of this research,
PE
with the end view of proposing enrichment activities to further improve the reading skills of Grade 2 pupils.
R
This study used 32 Grade 2 - Anahaw Pupils of Alangilan Central Elementary School as respondents. Self-
TY
made test questionnaire was used in gathering the needed data. Books and other action research materials
were referred as secondary data resources.
O
The following questions were addressed particularly by this project:

F
BE
1.What level of reading proficiency do the students possess. 2.What are some factor that affect the reading
skills of the pupils. 3.Based from the findings, what remedial interventions might be suggested for Grade
YO
2-Anahaw students with parental assistance during modular distance learning under the new normal?
N
Reading at the second grade level encourages phonemic awareness or understanding the sounds and
D
syllables that make up words, into phrases, sentences, paragraph and stories.
BO
It’s harder than we imagined to teach second graders. It is one of the most challenging responsibilities
that instructors must do, especially during current pandemic. There was no quick way to do this. This needs a
O
lot of practice and must follow a process. The teacher must be knowledgeable on how to instruct the subject.
KS
Participating in multiple webinars, trainings, and having a variety of conversations with other educators can be
quite beneficial to the teachers.
PU
Design/ Methodology/Approach
BL
In this study, a researcher-constructed questionnaire served as the primary data collection tool, with
IC
unstructured interviews and focus group discussions serving as backup sources (FGD). 32 students from
AT
Alangilan Central Elementary School served as the study’s subject matter. .

Results/Findings
IO
According on the study’s findings, the researcher draws the following conclusions:
N
1.Reading from simple to complicated words is necessary. 2.It is mandatory to read Dolch Basic Sight Words
before answering any module. 3.Practice reading short paragraphs, stories, rhymes, poetry, melodies, and
riddles with comprehension. 4.The students’ language skills improved as a result of the use of intervention
activities. 5.Students benefit greatly from their parents’ engagement in their reading comprehension and skills.
Research Limitations
Through reading activities at the Alangilan Central Elementary School, this study seeks to understand the
reading abilities of 32 students in Grade 2. The study’s findings may increase parents’ involvement in meeting
their children’s needs and strengthen their partnership with the school in assisting students in achieving good
academic performance, particularly during this pandemic. The study only looks at reading activities as a
paradigm for comprehension-based reading instruction.
Originality
This study aims to raise the reading proficiency of second-grade students at Alangilan Central Elementary
School by using reading exercises for modular distance learning during a pandemic time.

ABSTRACT
PR
RATIONALE
O
The Department of Education is currently developing a Learning Recovery Plan (LRP)

PE
with the learners focused on literacy and numeracy to address the learning loss brought
R
on by the epidemic. The framework also includes the learners’ socio-emotional and
TY
behavioral recovery. Learning loss may be caused by several factors, including a lack of
O
F
academic interest; the absence of physical classes; ineffective delivery of learning; and
BE
economic issues. Using this initiative, the Old Cabalan Integrated School’s Edukasyon sa
YO
Pagpapakatao Department hopes to support the learners to catch up and accelerate

N
their learning after two years of disruption. The DepEd monthly value cluster will be used
D
BO
as a guide in choosing the appropriate readings in response to Bawat Bata Bumabasa

(BBB). Values and attitudes will be emphasized and integrated into learners’ readings of
O
KS
the text or quotes to become more functionally literate and humane. Each student already
PU
possesses a character, but as teachers, we should assist and guide them in living out what
BL
is morally acceptable and honorable.

IC
The formation and growth of students includes a significant amount of education based
AT
on values. Future generations will be made up of today’s children. They will mold the world,
IO
so they must possess all the necessary skills and attributes to create a stable one. Good
N
manners and right conduct are therefore important for helping them grow into balanced
adults.
PROJECT PURPOSE
The activity aims to:
1. reinforce values through reading and reflecting; and,
2. enhance the reading skills of students.
page 105
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project CHART (Character Alignment through Reading Text) shall be facilitated
for the whole school year. The provided reading text, quotes, or Biblical passages will be
given to learners at the start of each month in their Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao class to
help them become aware of the DepEd value cluster. They will be asked to read the text
by class, group, or individual. Then they will write individually their answers to the given
questions for reflection. Sharing of reflections will be encouraged and deepening will be
given by the subject teacher before the execution of the lesson proper.

TEACHING COMPETENCIES AND DISCIPLINARY

APPROACHES OF TEACHERS
Virginia R. Miralles
Teacher III/ Officer In -Charge
St. Joseph Elementary School
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to assess the extent of the teaching competencies and disciplinary approaches
PR
being used by the Teachers . The respondents were the 88 teaches. They were described in terms of
age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, length of service, position title and seminars and trainings
O
attended were also considered. This study utilized the descriptive method of research. The researcher-
PE
made questionnaire -checklist was used as the main instrument on the study to determine the teaching
R
competencies such instructional skills, classroom management skills, guidance skills, and professional
TY
skills and disciplinary approaches such as focusing, direct instruction, monitoring, modeling, non-verbal
cuing, assertive discipline and positive discipline as perceived by teachers. The performance of pupils
O
in terms of academic performance and attitudes and behavior were based on the perception of the
F
teachers and forms the last part of the questionnaire.

BE
Findings reveal that the primary school teachers are mostly 40 years old and below, predominantly
YO
female and married. Majority has not taken up continuous education and most are in the teaching service
N
of 10 years and below. More than three-fourths are Teacher I and have attended seminars and trainings
D
in the district and school level. On the level of teaching competencies with respect to instructional skills,
BO
classroom management skills, guidance skills and personal and professional skills as perceived by
the teacher respondents is found to be Very Satisfactory. The disciplinary approaches with respect to
O
focusing, direct instruction, monitoring, modeling, nonverbal cuing, assertive discipline and positive are
KS
perceived to be often used. The academic performance of the primary grade pupils as perceived by the
PU
teachers is interpreted as very satisfactory. The teachers often employ disciplinary approaches.
Based on the findings, it was concluded that sex and civil status are not predictors of the level of
BL
teaching competencies of the respondents. However, professional and personal skill are higher for
IC
older teachers with better educational attainments, length of service and position title. Likewise, better
AT
instructional skills were found for teachers who are longer in the service. Classroom management skills
IO
vary with the educational attainment and seminars and training attended. Lastly, higher level of guidance
skills was found to teachers with more advanced educational attainment, position title and seminars
N
and training attended. Disciplinary approaches used by the teachers do not vary with age, sex, civil
status, educational attainment and seminars and training attended. Focusing and direct instruction are
more often used by the younger set of teachers. Also, direct instruction was used by the Teacher 1 more
frequently. The perceived performance of the pupils in terms of academic performance and attitude and
behavior are positively related to the perception of the teachers on their teaching competencies and
disciplinary approaches. Academic performance do not depend on the guidance skills and focusing as
a disciplinary approach of the pupils.
In the light of the findings, the following recommendations are hereby offered. Teachers should
continuously employ varied teaching styles and disciplinary approaches in the classroom for better
classroom management and pupils’ performance. Teachers should attend seminars and trainings to
update the teaching strategies and methodologies. Experimental studies on the effects of teaching
disciplinary approaches on pupils’ performance may be conducted. The proposed action plan is
recommended for implementation.

Iikot ,tatalon, paroo’t parito at tila hindi nahihilo.

Itong si Ma’am walang sawa sa pagpapayo.

Ang galing talaga ni Ma’am.

Iyan noon ang laging nasa isip ko.

Sa paglipas ng panahon, ako’y nagsumikap.

IO
Walang pagsidlan nag-uumapaw na saya

N
Sa aking puso.
Sa wakas ako’y magtuturo at hindi mapapagod
na tulad ni Ma’am.
Dumating ako sa punto ng katutuhanan.

Ang harapin ang propisyong sinumpaan.
Akin ngayong nararanasan kung ano ang buhay ni Ma’am.
Buhay na hindi ko noon alam.
Ako’y nabigla sa aking natuklasan .

Ang maging isang guro ay hindi dapat sinasabing “ lang “.
Maraming pagsubok at hinaing na hindi ko dati alam.
Dahil ang alam ko lang , okay lang si Ma’am.
Sa kagustuhang mga bata’y matuto.

Bibili ng mga kagamitan.

Para sa mga bata na kung ituring ni Ma’am ay anak na totoo.
Kahit na ang sweldo’y palaging nakokopromiso.
Ayos lang basta’t sa kabutihan ninyo.
Pamilyang naghihintay walang magawa.

Kundi ibigay ang malawak na pang-unawa.
Oras na dapat sa pamilya nakalaan,
kailangang kalimutan upang trabaho’y
buong pusong magampanan.
Dahil ang alam ko lang okay lang si Ma’am.
Masakit isipin na sa kabila ng pagtitiyaga ni Ma’am

minsa’y may susugod na animo’y lion na handang mangain.
Kawawang guro sa masasakit na salita’y
hindi kayang lunukin.

Palaging panakot kung saang ahensya dadalahin.

Hindi mo man alam ang pinagdadanan ng gurong minamaliit mo.

Gurong walang magawa kundi sakit ng damdamin

Kailangang kalimutan at huwag indahin.

Upang trabaho’y magampanan.

AT
Problema sa tahanan ay dapat iwan.

Dahil kailangang palaging okay si Ma’am.
IO
N
Puyat at pagod hindi iniinda

Kahit may karamdaman pilit kinakaya.
Pagsawa’y sa mga batang parang ipo-ipo .
Kaagad nila ikinakairita.
Hindi nila alam sakit sa ulo nilang dala.
Ganoon pa man ngiti nitong si Ma’am iyong makikita.
Kaya ang alam ko lang palaging okay si Ma’am.
Ngayon ako’y naniniwala

na ang lahat may kapalit na pagpapala.
Sa kabila ng pagsubok na nasasaksihan.
Gagawing lahat ng aking makakaya.
Aking pagsisikapan bumuo ng panibagong tulad ni Ma’am.
Dahil ang totoo okay ka Ma’am!
