Effectiveness of speed drawing and kinesics in improving vocabulary retention
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2016-03) Lamsis, Claire N.
Vocabulary retention is an indispensable tool in learning a new language. This is considered a stepping stone in understanding listening and written inputs and in producing spoken and written outputs.
In this paper the use of speed drawing and kinesics were introduced as learning strategies in improving vocabulary. The control group used context clues as learning strategy. Ninety Grade 7 students were introduced with one hundred words using the mentioned vocabulary retention learning strategies. True experimental research using the multiple treatment design was employed in determining the effect of these vocabulary learning strategies. The Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Bonferroni Test were used in analyzing the data gathered.
The result of the delayed posttest showed that speed drawing yielded a very high retention rate while kinesics and context clues resulted to high retention rate. Al of the three vocabulary learning strategies: speed drawing, kinesics and context clues emerged as effective ways of improving vocabulary retention. Hence, the three learning strategies are appropriate ways of improving vocabulary retention.
Effectiveness of weighted sled training in the improvement of maximum speed of the male varsity players from a three - point position
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2016-03) Claveria, Grace M.
The ultimate goal of any athlete or coach is improved performance in all sports. In athletics, weighted sled training has become a popular resistance training method among coaches in improving running speed of athletes even though relatively little is known about the effects that such technique has on the development of overall speed.
The study determined the mean performance of the experimental group prior and after the introduction of the seven - week weighted sled training. The study made use of the single-group pretest - post test experimental design. The study found out that the experimental group obtained a below average to average performance in the pretest and post-test along the three measures of speed.
Lastly, the mean gain scores of the group from pretest to post-test in the 60 - meter speed test proved to be significant at 0.05 level of significance and the predicted time in 100 and 200 meters at 0.01 level of significance.
Health and fitness practices of the secondary teachers: basis for wellness activities
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2016-03) Estepa, Diana E.
Wellness activities are practices that contribute to the development of health and increase the functional capacity of an individual. The study determined the health and fitness practices of the secondary teachers as a basis for wellness activities. The descriptive survey method was used with the questionnaire and health-related fitness tests as the main tools in gathering data. Data were tested using frequency scale and percentages, and Pearson-r. The study was administered to 161 secondary teachers in public and private schools of Nagulian, La Union.
The study found out that most of the teachers are in their early adulthood, married, young in the teaching profession, have trainings in district-wide level on health and wellness, and have commendable medical profile and desirable wellness practices. Age was found to be positively correlated to intellectual practices but negatively correlated to emotional and social practices. Body mass index is negatively correlated to intellectual wellness practices while flexibility fitness is correlated to intellectual and social wellness practices.
Quality of groundwater in selected barangays of Luna and Sto. Tomas, La Union
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2015-03) Peralta, Nickole Q.
Access to safe drinking water which comes from groundwater is essential for a healthy life. In the barangays of Luna and Sto. Tomas, La Union household residents rely on the use of pump wells to obtain groundwater for drinking and domestic uses but its quality is in question. Using the standard laboratory methods, this study determined the bacteriological and physical quality of groundwater samples from 16 barangays of the two towns.
Results showed that the water samples taken from the 16 shallow and deep wells which are constructed in loam and sand topsoil ~ contained varying levels of bacteria. The 14 water samples were contaminated with total coliforms, fecal coliforms and E. coli, thus, failed in the standard guidelines. Only two groundwater samples obtained from Oaqui 3 and Poblacion 2 (Baraca) were negative of the three groups of bacteria. Both passed the national and international standards for drinking water.
Sustainability training program on outcome-based learning in related learning experience
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2014-03) Rodriguez, Jesus C.
This study determined the profile of the Clinical Instructors and its relationship with their awareness, competency and performance on Qutcome-Based Learning as a teaching methodology in the clinical area with a training program as its output.
The study used descriptive study survey method with questionnaire as tool in gathering the necessary data. Using the total enumeration sampling, the questionnaire was administered to Clinical Instructors from UCC, City of San Fernando and DMMMSU- SLUC, ICHAMS, Agoo, La Union.
The findings revealed that the competency of the respondents on OBL is outstanding, they are highly aware on the concept of OBL, and have an excellent rating in their performance and a significant relationship exists between: profile and
competency; awareness and performance; awareness and competency; and competency and performance. A significant difference also exists between the responses of the Clinical Instructors and the Level Coordinators with their competency, awareness and performance.
