Attitudes among Public School Teachers during The Implementation of Modular Distance Learning in Philippines
Full text linkThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reshaped the educational landscape, necessitating the implementation of Modular Distance Learning (MDL) in the Philippines. This study investigates the attitudes of public school teachers towards MDL, focusing on their readiness, schools’ preparedness, and the effectiveness of modular instruction. Employing a descriptive quantitative research design, data were collected from 261 public school teachers in Zamboanga City using a survey questionnaire. Results indicate that teachers exhibit a high level of readiness to implement MDL, demonstrating adaptability and willingness to embrace new teaching strategies. Schools also displayed a high level of preparedness, with established communication channels and health protocols. However, challenges persist, particularly regarding the effectiveness of modular instruction, which teachers perceive to be less effective compared to face-to-face learning. Statistical analyses reveal no significant differences in teachers’ attitudes based on demographic factors such as years of experience, educational background, or employment status. However, male teachers reported a higher perception of module effectiveness compared to their female counterparts. The findings underscore the need for continuous professional development and improved module design to enhance learning outcomes. This study contributes to understanding the realities of MDL implementation and provides a basis for future research on improving distance learning strategies.
Examining the Influence of Elementary Teachers’ Innovative Strategies on Intermediate Pupils’ Learning Styles
Full text linkThis study explored the use of innovative teaching strategies—constructivist, collaborative, reflective, integrative, and inquiry-based—and their influence on the learning styles of intermediate pupils at Yusop Dais Elementary School. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, using a researcher-developed questionnaire for teachers and a student learning style instrument adapted from Abrami and Venkatesh. Findings revealed that most pupils preferred visual learning styles, followed by auditory and kinesthetic. Among the strategies, the constructivist approach was the most frequently applied by teachers. Statistical analysis showed no significant influence of visual and auditory learning styles on the effectiveness of constructivist, collaborative, integrative, or inquiry-based strategies. However, a significant relationship was found between the kinesthetic learning style and the reflective strategy. These findings indicate that while various innovative strategies are commonly used, their effectiveness may vary depending on students’ preferred learning styles. The results underscore the importance of aligning teaching strategies with learners’ needs to improve engagement and academic performance. Teachers are encouraged to consider diverse learning preferences and adapt their instructional approaches accordingly to ensure more inclusive and effective teaching practices
Influence of Social Media on Self-Esteem and Self-Awareness among 8th-grade Students
Full text linkThe primary aim of this research study was to investigate and analyze the influence of social media usage on self-esteem and self-awareness among 8th-grade students at Pangasinan National High School. It utilized a quantitative research design to determine the impact of social media on self-esteem and self-awareness among the respondents. The quantitative approach used a survey questionnaire checklist to collect the numeric data from the students. The result indicates that the most common platform, Facebook, has a range of 3 to 4 hours per day, with a frequency of 33, then the least common one is Snapchat, with a range of 1 hour or less, with a frequency. Self-esteem and Self-awareness levels of 8th-grade students were analyzed using Pearson, and the results obtained were interpreted to indicate that the correlation coefficient is equal to [0.58]. Based on the summary of findings from the study, it can be concluded that the levels of self-esteem and self-awareness as perceived by the 8th-grade students are moderate. Moreover, they point to the engagement of the students in social media in a way that enhances their self-image without becoming orderly and dependent on external validation. On the other hand, the students derive a large portion of their self-worth from online interactions, which may lead to heightened self-esteem or increased vulnerability to negative feedback
The Application of Contextual Teaching and Learning for Increasing Learning Outcomes and Reducing Anxiety in Elementary School Mathematics
Full text linkThe study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) in reducing and improving learning outcomes and math anxiety among students at a private elementary school in Indonesia. The research utilized a one-group control pre-posttest design with a sample of 51 4th-grade students. The study used a combination of pre-test and post-test and a closed-ended questionnaire as the data collection instruments. The independent variable in the study was CTL, while the dependent variables were learning outcomes and math anxiety. The paired t-test showed a significant increase in the students' average learning outcomes and a decrease in the average math anxiety levels. The findings suggest that implementing CTL is a practical approach to reducing math anxiety and improving student learning outcomes

Parental Involvement and Socio-emotional Skills of the Kindergarten Pupils: A Correlational Study
Full text linkAcademic achievement does not guarantee success in school; one must also work on establishing the students' socio-emotional abilities to interact with teachers and peers. Socio-emotional development describes the ways in which children learn to communicate and express their emotions, form bonds with others, and engage in social abilities. Prioritizing socio-emotional development in preschool and kindergarten is essential. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of parental involvement and socio-emotional skills of the kindergarten pupils of Pagasinan Elementary School. This study utilized quantitative descriptive research design to investigate the socio-emotional skills of kindergarten pupils in Sanga-Sanga, Bongao, Tawi-Tawi. The research specifically examined the influence of parental involvement on the socio-emotional skills of these young learners, utilizing quantitative research methods for data analysis and interpretation. Parents of Pagasinan Elementary School are highly involved in various aspects of their children’s education. This includes fulfilling basic obligations, maintaining school-to-home communication, participating in school activities, and engaging in home learning activities. The kindergarten pupils possess strong socio-emotional skills as perceived by their teachers. Specifically, pupils show a high level of self-awareness and advanced level of self-management. There is moderate positive and statistically significant correlation between parents’ involvement and the socio-emotional skills of kindergarten pupils. As parents’ involvement, so does the socio-emotional of the pupils
