DIGITALIZED MODULES THROUGH KOTOBEE APPLICATION: A TEACHING INTERVENTION ON IMPROVING PUPILS’ PERFORMANCE LEVEL IN SCIENCE SUBJECT
Get PDFAccessible lesson inputs serve as motivation and basis for grasping science concepts, especially in online classes. Pupils fail to review these teacher-given inputs in blended modular and synchronous settings. This study sought to determine the effectiveness of digitalizing modules through Kotobee Author and Reader application on pupils’ performance level in science. Using a quantitative approach and a one-group pretest-posttest design, twenty-six (26) Grade 4 pupils of Jimenez Central School (JCS) enrolled in the school year 2020-2021 participated in the study The Division evaluated and validated Science quarterly assessment was used as the instrument for this study. Utilizing statistical tools such as Actual Mean, Hypothetical Mean, the z-test, and the t-test, the instrument's data were analyzed and interpreted. Results of the study showed the following: (1) the performance level of the pupils before the intervention did not meet expectations, (2) the performance level of the pupils after the intervention was satisfactory, and (3) there was an improvement in the pupils’ performance level in science when Kotobee-digitalized modules were used. The researchers recommend the following: (1) teachers could conduct a follow-up study to improve pupils’ academic performance level in other subject areas, (2) teachers could initiate a similar study on pupils from other grade levels, and (3) researchers could determine the perceptions of pupils, teachers and parents in the utilization of the Kotobee Author and Reader application
Familiarity with the structure of the sentence helps us to understand correctly
Get PDFSentence is the most important grammatical structure in many languages. If we want to know the meaning of a paragraph, or paragraphs, we should know the meaning of each sentence. Sentence specifies the appropriate meaning and role for every lingual element. If we disorganize the system of one sentence, we will have some words with no complete meaning; some of these words may have different meanings and some of them may take different roles like a noun, a verb, an adjective or an adverb. Suppose! If we disorganise the whole sentences of a paragraph or all paragraphs, it will be impossible to know the meaning of one paragraph or paragraph because the most significant structure of the language (sentence) is disorganized. In conclusion, sentences are very important for many languages. Basically, each book is made from sentences. If we have no sentence, we have no paragraph or paragraphs; it means the sentence is everything in many languages
The Interplay Between Social Harm and Education: Toward Preventing Societal Detriment
Get PDFThe Interplay Between Social Harm and Education: Toward Preventing Societal Damages seeks the complex relationship between each other, by supporting the role of education in preventing and reducing societal problems. Social harm includes a wide vision of behaviors and conditions that cause harm to individuals, communities, and as well as to societies. It could manifest in various forms, such as violence, mental health issues, crime, substance abuse, and social exclusion. Or in a simple term, those actions which are considered both illegal and morally disgraceful in society. Education centers help as powerful tools for addressing social harm by developing personal growth, promoting social unity, and empowering individuals to make positive choices, and if we look into the triangle of home, educational institutions, and society as a fundamental component of the teaching and learning process we will discover a dynamic interplay between these three realms that shapes and boosts individual growth and collective knowledge. This study searches through the key and considerably discussed realm of social harm within the disciplines of sociology and education, with a particular focus on the interplay between these two domains. Central to these discussions are inquiries into the meaning and the nature of social harms, the educational objectives aimed at reducing social harm, and the principles, methodologies, as well as educational approaches employed in reducing these societal problems

Implementation of Contextual Vocabulary at the Tertiary Level: Learner and Instructor Perspective
Get PDFThis paper aims to assess the different methods for students to implement newly acquired vocabulary in an academic context, while simultaneously discussing the strategies teachers can follow to guide them, by exploring the driving theories behind contextual learning in SLA. Both qualitative and quantitative data were obtained in order to ensure optimal results. For the primary data, a survey containing a series of inquiries was given out to tertiary-level students and for the teachers, a series of one-to-one interviews were held from three differently ranked universities, in order to collect adequate data. For the secondary data collection, a staggering number of peer-reviewed journal articles were used. The results show that learners can overcome the challenges by self-motivating themselves to practice implementing retained vocabulary in the context of their ongoing academics, cooperating with their peers, and using technology within or outside the classroom. Additionally, the teachers should better facilitate their students by identifying the best teaching methodologies based on the pre-existing background knowledge and skill level of each of the students.
