Implementation of Authentic Assessment among Social Studies Teachers in The Private Catholic Schools during Covid-19 Pandemic
No full textThis research investigated the struggles faced by educators in implementing Authentic Assessment at Private Catholic Educa-tional Institutes within the Diocese of Iba during the 2022-2023 school year, specifically in the 3rd Quarter period. A descriptive research method using a survey questionnaire was employed to gather data from 101 Social Studies teachers. The findings indi-cated that the majority of respondents were female, single, col-lege-educated, and had been teaching for over five years. The respondents expressed confidence in their knowledge of imple-menting Authentic Assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Visual and kinesthetic methods were frequently used, with re-sponses indicating these were employed "often," while verbal and written methods were used "sometimes." The teachers disa-greed on the challenges they faced in implementing Authentic Assessment. No significant differences were found in the level of awareness on Authentic Assessment based on demographic var-iables such as sex, civil status, highest educational attainment, or years of teaching. However, there were significant differences in the frequency of using various assessment methods, particularly between visual, verbal, kinesthetic, and written methods. The study also highlighted significant differences in the challenges experienced based on the highest educational attainment. The researcher proposed an intervention program to address these challenges, recommending strategies such as improved report preparation, collaboration with parents and local government units, the provision of hands-on activities for students, and teacher workshops for mastery of assessment techniques. Fu-ture research is encouraged to replicate the study for a deeper and broader understanding of the challenges and practices relat-ed to Authentic Assessment
From Tradition to Trend: Development, Acceptability and Marketability of Classic Heirloom Rice-Veggie Chips
No full textHeirloom rice is part of the culture and heritage of the Cordillera Ad-ministrative Region. It is the heart and soul of its terraces. Heirloom rice varieties are now known to be nutrient-dense, thus elevating heirloom rice’s status as a specialty rice. The production of processed products from heirloom rice lacks standardization of the processing procedures as most of the processed products are done by small-scale entrepreneurs in the locality. Thus, this study aims to develop a new variety of chips out of heirloom rice of Ifugao, fused with additional vegetables like Moringa Oliefera (Horse Radish Leaves) and Ma-mordica Charantia (Bitter Gourd Leaves). The developmental re-search design was used to develop the Classic Heirloom Rice-Veggie Chips. In contrast, the quantitative-descriptive research design among 315 randomly selected consumers in Lagawe, Ifugao, was used to determine the acceptability and marketability aspect of the product developed. After a series of formulations, the study devel-oped a standardized process and procedures for making Heirloom Rice- Veggie Chips. On the other hand, using weighted means, findings revealed that the product received high acceptability ratings across all attributes, with texture scoring 5.86 and overall acceptability reaching 5.92, indicating strong positive appeal to respondents. Thus, heirloom rice with vegetables is generally acceptable for sensory evaluation. Lastly, The Classic Heirloom Rice Veggie Chips demon-strated high marketability across various aspects, with strong scores in purchase likelihood (5.79), recommendation (5.93), recognition (5.94), and packaging (5.98) while maintaining consistent appeal across different price points
Utilization and Types of Laboratory Approaches Employed in Public Secondary Schools in Ilocos Norte
No full textThis study investigates the laboratory practices of science teachers in public secondary schools within the Schools Division of Ilocos Norte, focusing on the types of laboratory teaching approaches employed and their frequency of use. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected through surveys to assess the extent of implementation of various methodologies, including Demonstration, Guided Inquiry, Open Inquiry, Structured Inquiry, and Confirmation Inquiry. The analy-sis revealed a significant correlation between the types of approaches used and their frequency of implementation, with Demonstration and Guided Inquiry being the most frequently employed methods. In con-trast, Open Inquiry and Confirmation Inquiry were utilized less often, indicating potential barriers to their implementation. The findings highlight the need for targeted professional development to enhance teachers\u27 confidence and skills in employing a wider range of inquiry-based approaches. This research contributes valuable insights into the current state of laboratory practices in science education, emphasizing the importance of understanding these practices to inform future train-ing and support initiatives aimed at improving science instruction and fostering a more effective learning environment for students. Further research is recommended to explore the impact of these teaching ap-proaches on student learning outcomes and to identify challenges faced by teachers in implementing diverse laboratory methodologies
Principals’ Competence in Performance Management of Private Secondary School Teachers in the Division of Nueva Ecija
No full textTeacher quality is the most important factor influencing student achievement, highlighting the key role of teachers in improving learner outcomes. Managing teacher performance is essential to enhancing teaching quality. Therefore, principals must continually develop their skills in planning, monitoring, and reviewing to effectively manage teacher performance. This study determined and described the principals’ competence in performance management of teachers in the private secondary schools in the Division of Nueva Ecija. The descriptive method of research was employed in the study. Survey instruments in the form of questionnaires were distributed to thirty-six (36) principal- respondents, thirty-three (33) department heads and two hundred one (201) teachers. The findings clearly indicate that all the respondents displayed common perceptions on the principals’ competence in managing the performance of teachers, and considered performance management as a means for quality improvement in educational practice to ensure better teaching and learning has taken place in the classroom. The findings, however, showed that there was a significant difference between and among the perceptions of the respondent- principals, department heads and teachers on the level of principals’ competence in teacher performance management only in the area of monitoring. The overall findings of the study reflected that the principals were highly competent in the three areas of performance management: planning, monitoring and reviewing performance of teachers. Hence, there is only a need to sustain principals’ competence in teacher performance management
Perspectives on Peace Education of Muslim Scholars and Educators in Sulu, Philippines
No full texthis research explores the attitudes of Muslim Filipinos in Sulu in the context of how Islamic doctrine supports peace and nonviolence among them. This study addresses a gap in peace education for Min-danao with a specific emphasis on knowing the perceptions of local Islamic scholars and educators of peace-building practice. The meth-odology undertaken in the conduct of this research is a mixed-method approach involving both quantitative and qualitative ap-proaches. A survey questionnaire was administered to 331 students in Teacher Education. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 59 educators and scholars. Descriptive statistics and content analysis served the purposes of data analysis (Aming-Hayudini et al., 2024). The goal was to find recurring themes and patterns.Key findings reveal that 87% of respondents strongly agree that Islam promotes peace, with the Qur\u27an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad emphasizing the sanctity of human life, peaceful conflict resolution, and the avoidance of violence. Specifically, 92 percent of the teaching and academic faculty believe that a peaceful inner heart is a basic requirement for world peace, while 86 percent believe that, in Islam, peace is connected with justice, and 81 percent believe inter-faith dialogue and cooperation are imperative to promote different communities\u27 mutual understanding. The study also identified the significant role of Islamic teachings on justice and the importance of Sharia (Islamic Jurisprudence) in ensuring a just society.The conclusion underscores that Islamic peace education, rooted in the principles of submission to Allah’s will, adherence to Qur’anic guidance, and promoting justice through Sharia, is vital for long-term peace-building in Sulu. Educators and scholars in the region play a critical role in moving forward with these values and supporting peace initiatives consistent with the principles of Islam. This re-search finds that the Islamic peace education approach should be in-cluded in both formal and informal learning systems in Mindanao, especially in Sulu, as a solution to the problems facing the region re-garding conflict and establishing a more peaceful society

Diminishing Marginal Utility of Technological Devices toward Academic Performance in Mathematics, Reading, and Science
No full textThe Philippines, in its pursuit of aligning its education system with global standards, has participated in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) which evaluates 15-year-olds\u27 reading, scientific, and mathematical proficiency. However, the 2022 PISA report ranked Filipino learners among the lowest five in reading, science, and mathematics. This study explores how ownership of technological devices influences student performance in these domains. Using Ordinal Logistic Regression, we analyze the 2022 PISA ordinal data for 7608 Filipino students. Results show a diminishing marginal return on academic achievement as device ownership increases. While initial access to technology boosts performance, the effect weakens as students own more devices. This trend is stronger among learners without siblings and persists regardless of internal or external digital distractions. Findings emphasize the need for balanced digital engagement. Rather than restricting access or full enablement, families and policymakers should focus on strategic technology use to enhance education, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals for quality learning.

No full textABSTRACT
The advance of technology has provided a third virtual space where people from various regions and linguistic backgrounds can interact with each other regarding social network sites and applica-tions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of social media on enhancing English literacy and speaking skills of the Bach-elor of Secondary Education Major in English students of President Ramon Magsaysay State University - Santa Cruz Campus. A quantitative research design was employed to answer the re-search questions. The respondents are female young adults in their second year of study. The findings reveal that the respondents used Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for more than three hours daily, they have strong internet connection for accessing edu-cational content, entertainment, news, and blogs, and strongly agreed that their vocabulary skills in English literacy and speaking were strong, while they agreed on grammar and comprehension skills. There is a significant difference in English literacy and speak-ing skills regarding grammar when grouped by age and year level. Additionally, there is a substantial difference in vocabulary skills when grouped by year level. There is no significant relationship be-tween social media use and the respondents\u27 English literacy and speaking skills. The conclusion of the study has led to the recommendation that the students should be reminded that constant engagement with social media due to their positive attitude may hinder their studies which may lead to poor performance in school meanwhile teachers may incorporate in their classes the use of social media such as giv-ing of assignments and other instructions related to their courses so that their students may not only engage in social media for chatting but also for educational purposes. They should encourage their stu-dents to use the English language on Facebook to improve their Eng-lish language competency
