Analysis on the Writing Errors of Grade 6 Students: Basis for Instructional Material Development
Get PDFThe ability of students to express themselves through writing is not just a reflection of their linguistic prowess but also a determinant of their academic and future career success. The purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis on the writing errors of Grade 6 students of Paciencia Elementary School, Loreto, Agusan Del Sur. The findings would be used as the basis for instructional material development and to recommend emphasizing teaching integration of the identified errors. The dominant errors were related to punctuation, capitalization, and incorrect verb forms, indicating a significant need for focused instruction in these areas to improve pupils' writing proficiency. In response to these findings, the study suggests developing targeted instructional materials that include structured lessons and practice exercises focusing on the most common errors. These resources should be integrated into the curriculum. Recommendations from the study emphasize the roles of various stakeholders in improving writing skills among pupils. Teachers should implement targeted instructional materials and attend professional development workshops. The school administration should support the integration of these materials and fund workshops while regularly assessing pupils' grammar skills. Pupils should engage actively in grammar lessons and seek feedback, and parents should encourage and support their children in practicing grammar skills at home. Policymakers and curriculum developers should incorporate the study's findings into national curriculum standards and allocate resources to support these initiatives. Future research should explore additional factors affecting grammar skills and the long-term impact of targeted instruction on overall academic performance

Addressing Student Tardiness Through a Strategic Reward System: A Study Among Grade 12 Students
Get PDFThis action research explored the effectiveness of a Strategic Reward System (SRS) in reducing student tardiness among Grade 12 students at Libertad National High School. The main objective was to determine whether implementing a structured reward system could significantly decrease instances of tardiness and enhance punctuality. The study employed a pre- and post-observation design, collecting data from student attendance records before and after the implementation of a lottery-based SRS. The intervention provided tangible incentives for on-time attendance, and the results were analyzed using a Mean Percentage Score and a T-test to assess the significance of changes in student behavior. The findings revealed a notable reduction in student tardiness, with statistical analysis confirming a significant difference between pre-and post-intervention data. The results align with existing literature on the positive impact of reward-based strategies in educational settings. It is suggested that schools adopt a structured reward system as part of their behavior management policy to foster a culture of punctuality and enhance student engagement. Future research should expand on these findings by exploring the application of reward systems across diverse educational contexts and incorporating gamified elements to sustain student motivation
Analyzing Finite Dependent Clauses in English Writing: A Study of Mahlabatheng High School Grade 11 Students
Get PDFThough the concept of subordination has been explored in the context of L1 and L2 speakers of English language, more attention has been on the leaners of higher education. Against this background, the present paper set out to explore the use of finite dependent clauses by Mahlabatheng High School Grade 11 students where the main objective is to examine the extent to which the learners portray their ability to use finite dependent clauses and to also investigate whether they are able to use different types of such clauses. In order to achieve this objective, the study applied both qualitative and quantitative research methods, which included analysis of data obtained from students’ sample essays. The study used a combination of convenience and purposive sampling to select a sample of twenty-five students from whom the data was collected. The findings of the study revealed that students are able to demonstrate their ability to use the finite dependent clauses as on average, 96 percent of the total population were able to use finite dependent clauses in their writing and they used different types. The results further demonstrated that most students did not use the nominal clauses as compared to the other types of finite dependent clauses. The study, therefore, concludes that Mahlabatheng High School Grade 11 learners have ability to use finite dependent clauses. However, the recommendation is that more focus should be put on the nominal clauses
