Get PDFState Universities and Colleges in the Region provide best educational practices and quality instructional methods, approaches and principles which made them known in the international arena along impressive faculty profile and leveling, programs which are centers of excellence and development, accreditation and high board examination performances. However, this study intends to monitor and assess if the adapted physical education program is highly attained. Six (6) Physical Education Directors, twelve (12) Physical Education Coordinators and sixty nine (69) instructors and professors coming from State Universities and Colleges in Region 1 provided the data by answering a questionnaire. Findings show that the level of attainment of Adapted Physical Education Program is moderately attained as to its goals in terms of domains, objectives and promotion to teacher competencies. A questionnaire checklist was constructed by the researcher patterned from related studies. Upon the retrieval of the questionnaires, data were organized, tabulated and analyzed using the descriptive and inferential statistics. The 0.05 level of significance was used as the criterion point in the acceptance and rejection of the hypothesis.
The multi/biserial correlation test results show that age and sex are significantly related to the level of attainment of Adapted Physical Education Program for handicapped students. Moreover, Hoteling’s trace results reveal that PE Faculty and administrators did not differ significantly at the 5% level of significance in terms of their asssessments on the level of attainment of the Adapted Physical Education Program for handicapped students among SUCs in Region 1.
Over-all, it is concluded that most of the activities, records, facilities and instructional materials used in Adapted Physical Education Program for handicapped students in the different State Universities and Colleges in Region 1 are moderately adequate. Therefore, recommended that Physical Education administrators, professors and instructors who have handicapped students should have enough background, proficiency and capability, financial assistance and scholarships must be provided to enhance their expertise and must be guided with the implementing rules and regulations of the Program to increase the attainment of the goals, objectives and promotion of teacher competencies.

Impact Assessment of Continuous Improvement Projects (CIP) on Schools\u27 Performance in the Division of Antipolo City
Get PDFThe purpose of the study is to determine the impact of the completed Continuous Improvement (CI) projects on schools\u27 performance. Qualitative method was utilized to analyze the submitted CI and BEIS reports of the eight schools in the Division of Antipolo City that were able to complete their CI project successfully in three consecutive years. Thematic analysis was applied to determine how CI helped improve the schools and identify the challenges encountered in implementing it. Findings revealed that most of the schools are more focused on improving their Achievement rate than the other Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The performances of the schools in terms of Dropout has improved after the CI implementation. On the other hand, the performances of the schools in terms of Repetition did not improve because there were no CI projects conducted focused on it. Finally, the impact on the performances of the schools after the implementation of continuous improvement projects in terms of Achievement has improved and attained the "Nearly Proficient" level. The implementation of CI projects helped the schools in various aspects like improvement of performance indicators (non-behavioral), improvement of behavior of learners, teachers, school heads and stakeholders. The schools encountered several challenges in implementing CI projects which include controllable (Time, Workloads, Materials/Equipment/Competency) and uncontrollable elements (Teachers attitude and Parents\u27 Support). The proposed Action Plan is highly recommended for implementation to improve the schools\u27 performance

Examining the Effectiveness of Selected Credit Cooperatives in the Province of Pangasinan: Perspective from the Management and Members
Get PDFCooperatives are instrumental in poverty reduction and improvement of financial status of people living in developing countries. One of the major issues confronting the majority of the poor and non-poor people in developing countries is the high degree of financial exclusion and high barriers to access to finance. Credit cooperatives are the most viable option to address this issue due to the minimal requirements to secure a financial loan. This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of selected credit cooperatives in the Province of Pangasinan in fulfilling its purpose vis-à-vis the perception of its members on the credit cooperatives’ level of implementation of Republic Act 9520. Employing a descriptive research design, the study sampled two hundred seventy (270) members of four credit cooperatives in the Province of Pangasinan. Findings from the study show that the implementation of the provisions of RA 9520 varies across different areas, organizational provisions were perceived to be less implemented by the credit cooperatives compared to objectives, by-laws and administration. The economic benefits derived from credit cooperatives immensely surpass that of its social advantages. The most common problems identified by members can somehow be distilled into two major aspects: member empowerment and organizational coordination. Members have no access to trainings/education particularly relevant to the improvement of their financial acumen. Moreso, issues with communication prevents cohesion between members and management in terms of objectives, policies, and participation. The researchers recommend that credit cooperatives must formulate and implement a learning development program for their members, streamline their communication channels, and make procedural adjustments on the conduct of board meetings. Future researchers can expand the study by widening the geographic coverage and encouraging a larger group of credit cooperatives to participate in the study

Findings revealed that majority of the college students were found to have high grammatical competence on inflectional morphemes. Anent this are the demographic characteristics such as most preferred language for communication and general average in SHS English subject which contributed to grammatical competence. Hence, grammatical competence on inflectional morphemes would entail better comprehension in word formation processes among others
Dietary Patterns of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Study Based in Dhaka City
