ABSTRACT
Learning strategies become important factors for success in
academic performance. The majority of the authors consider
learning strategies to be mental processes of conscious and
intentional decision making. By means of this process the pupil
uses skills and abilities to acquire and internalize knowledge
easily, quickly and efficiently and get an apprenticeship to
master certain competences.
In our study we have selected and introduced in the
teaching/learning process different strategies for improving the
academic performance of the pupil. These are: study skills,
concentration techniques, data collection techniques, selection
and structuring of information techniques, discrimination and
understanding of concepts techniques, retention and memorization
(storage) of information techniques and application techniques.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction
Rationale of the Study
Learning strategies are what students use to help facilitate
the learning process. As defined by Weinstein & Mayer (1983)
learning strategies are behaviors and thoughts in which a student
engages and are intended to influence the student's encoding
process. Students with adequate learning strategies tend to be
more independent and autonomous in their study and learning
(Weinstein & Mayer, 1983: 3). Various studies have shown a
positive relationship between the learning strategies used by
students and the learning outcomes (Loomis, 2000; Salehi &
Enayati, 2009; Mohammadi et al., 2017 ). Adopting different
dimensions of learning strategies resulted in different levels of
academic achievement. However, it is necessary to emphasize that
the learning strategies used by students vary depending on their
learning situations and contextual features although there is
general agreement that very few students are appropriately
equipped with effective learning strategies. Because of this,

many of them were suspended or expelled after one school year.
Therefore, understanding what learning strategies students use is
a concern of lecturers. Many studies in the world literature have
been conducted on students' learning strategies, but there are
few studies. Thus, this study aims to describe learning
strategies, which can help lecturers in planning active teaching
strategies and support students in using effective learning
strategies.
This study will be conducted with the aim of knowing the
behaviors that influence the information gathered by students.
The fluency that students can achieve depends on their learning
strategy. This study will be conducted in the interest of knowing
what are the strategies will help the students so that they can
get high marks in their studies. This is also an opportunity to
find out where teachers and students will fill in their
shortcomings. In this research, it will also be known how often
Junior High students use different learning strategies. This is
to reduce the number of students who have low grades.
This research study is believed to be helpful due to the
availability of appropriate data on the way students learn, which
they can use to further improve the service and standard of
education in the said institution. This will also help the

teachers because here they will have appropriate knowledge of the
way their students learn, in the most appropriate way of
teaching. Also to our fellow students because through this they
will know the basics of doing a research lesson, and they will
have an idea regarding their learning methods.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aimed to explore and describe the lived
experiences of senior high school students in terms of their
learning styles within the context of the current curriculum of
Santa Rosa National High School. Specifically, the study sought
to answer the following research questions:
1. 1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:
a. Age and
b. Gender
2. How do students engage, participate, and learn well in school?
3. Based on the population’s learning experiences, what makes
learning enjoyable in their own perspectives?
4. What are the different experiences of the population about the
different learning styles and what particular learning style/s
are they most comfortable with?
5. What is the population’s preferred learning style and the
reasons as to why?


SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The study is focused on the perspectives of the Santa Rosa
National High School Grade 11 Senior High School (SHS) students
in relation to their varying subjective learning experiences. The
study will utilize the narrative research method in gathering and
analyzing the population’s narratives. The researchers will
conduct interviews and prepared 5 open-ended questions to the
participants of the study about the topic. There will be a total
of 10 participants representing all the academic strands. The
students that are qualified to participate in this study are
those who are currently taking any Grade 11 academic strands of
SHS in Santa Rosa National High School. The interview will be
conducted at the convenience of the participants: the time and
place in school grounds. The objective of this is to get an
overview of the perspectives of all SHS students about their
learning experiences and to possibly identify hidden problem or
inquiry that will become a topic of interest for future
researches.
The study does not cover the external factors that influence
the answers of the population, such as: attitude and personality,
aptitude or academic grades, family background. The study
utilized the narrative research method because the whole study is
centered at the research questions and the responses of the

population. Through the interviews to be conducted, it is a form
of experiment because of the unknown and possibly varying answers
of the population and it is also a form of storytelling. If
proven that there is a common ground to the responses of the
population and there is an identified problem or inquiry that is
answer/solved, the situation of the population may improve in
terms of the quality of learning and education in general.

Significance of the Study
The educational institution will also benefit from the study
because the improved learning experiences of the population may
have a positive correlation to their aptitude which will improve
the efficiency of the said institution in terms of education.
Students, the former and the latter, will be the main
beneficiaries of the study because they are the first to be
affected; in terms of their subjective learning experiences to
reach their overall satisfaction. Enhancing such learning
experiences will lead to an improved learning environment where
the population will enjoy their journey to learning.
Parents of the Students, the parents of the students will be
affected by this positive change because producing such excellent
students and make learning more satisfying that may will
cultivate better individuals for the larger community.
Teachers, this study seeks to know and understand the
preferred learning styles of the students which can help the
teachers on which method to apply in teaching. The use of the
preferred learning styles of the students may develop an
interactive relationship between the students and the teachers.
Researchers of the Study, as students themselves, will
benefit from the study because they are part of the process, or

the journey, to learning in Santa Rosa National High School as
SHS students. The study will also serve as an opportunity to
further enhance and improve the researchers’ skills in research,
in terms of their professional and individual development.

A MODEL OF LEARNING
This conceptual framework represents the factor of
“EXPLORING THE LEARNING STRATEGIES OF GRADE 11 STUDENTS AT SANTA
ROSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL” to explore a model of learning that
proposes that various learning strategies are powerful at certain
stages in the learning cycle.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED MATERIALS
FOREIGN LITERATURE
In the 1990s, learning strategies attracted the attention of
researchers involved in studying the acquisition of a second
language (Ellis, Citation1994; McDonough, Citation1999). Oxford
(Citation1990) proposed that a strategy system is composed of
learning behaviors, and other scholars studied the learning
strategies used in English learning (Huang &
Naerssen, Citation1987; Liu & Huang, Citation2002; Wen &
Wang, Citation2004). A learning strategy is an implicit learning
system that can be regarded as an internal learning method. This
method starts with the learners’ internal thinking and can
improve learning efficiency, ultimately enhancing the learning
achievement (Duffy, Citation1982; Mayer, Citation1987;
Oxford, Citation1990). Effective learners can choose appropriate
learning strategies based on their language learning process,
whereas poorer learners find it difficult to understand the
problems associated with their use of learning strategies
(Carton, Citation1966; O’Malley & Chamot, Citation1990; Vann &
Abraham, Citation1990). From the perspective of cognitive

psychology, second-language acquisition requires information
processing. During information processing, the use of learning
strategies can help learners to realize the potential problems
that they are likely to face, and thus can be motivated to
improve their information processing process, which can
ultimately lead to better learning achievement (Khodadad &
Kaur, Citation2016; O’Malley & Chamot, Citation1990).
LOCALE LITERATURE
In the Philippines, Filipino students used language learning
strategies when asked to do speaking tasks in class. However,
they tend to control and hold on a certain strategy (Baetiong and
Cabaysa, 2010). Sioson (2011) carried out a study on Language
Learning Strategies, Beliefs, and Anxiety in Academic Speaking
Task, in which she found that the participants used varied but
inappropriate language learning strategies. Similarly, PengShei
(2012) underpinned that the use of inappropriate language
learning strategies would definitely lead to misunderstanding of
poor language learning. Likewise, Gani et al. (2015) and Yalianti
(2018) opined that inappropriate use metacognitive and
communication strategies lead to failure. The researchers, being
Filipino language teachers believed that embarking on this study
would somehow give light on the beliefs in language learning in

relation to the learning strategies used by the indigenous
students to obtain academic success. The researchers were
challenged to investigate and recommend relevant strategies in
dealing indigenous students. This endeavor was necessary because
it could be noted that indigenous people consisted nine percent
or 8.1 million of the Philippine population (Belinzario et al.,
2011. This study was anchored on the four theories and
propositions of language learning. The first theory is by Krashen
(1982) which proposed that everyone can acquire a language
following a particular order regardless of their ethnic and
linguistic backgrounds. The second theoryis by Chomsky (1967)
which believed that each individual has the inborn capabilities
to acquire a language; that each person has a Language
Acquisition Device (LAD), which helps to learn a language,
understand its rules and accustom during the early stage of
development. The third theory is by Abraham and Vann (1987),
Horwitz (1989), and Wenden (1998) which asserted that
individual’s preconceived beliefs on language significantly
hinder their acquisition of that langauge. This proposition was
supported by Peng (2011) who posited that learner’s language
beliefs could either offer significant opportunities or trigger
apprehensions. The fourth theory is by Brown (1991) which
mentioned that someone’s strategies in acquiring another language

significantly linked with their learning styles.In the context of
this investigation, these theories and propositions were
significant. The first and second theories showed a good ground
that the indigenous students can acquire other languages aside
from their mother tongue. Likewise, the third theory was
important in understanding the indigenous students’ second
language acquisition because their cultural and linguistic
background may affect learning another language. The fourth
theory set another dimensions; that indigenous students could
acquire other language depending on their abilities, capabilites,
and styles. The indigenous students although considered Filipinos
but they had their own culture, norms, and belief system
including language. The Filipino language, an official language
in the Philippines, was formally taught in all academic
institutions. Thus, acquiring Filipino was acquiring another
language.
Rationale
Learning strategies have received the attention of
researchers because they can make an important contribution to
the learning process. The learning strategies of this study by
analyzing reports collected from Grade 11 students studying in
Santa Rosa Nueva Ecija. Students have some awareness of their
language abilities, and knowledge, they also know the strategies

they follow to improve their learning strategies on how to learn.
The reasons for researching this to gain more knowledge about
learning strategies that can be applied in the modern era of
learning and above all to develop the ability of a student.
