Navigating creative visual arts in addressing students’ challenges
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2025-05) Cacdac, John Bryan G.; Marquez III, Rogelio M.; Molanida, Mary Ann R.; Dulay, Jhanna Marie B.; Marqunz, Joel G.; Boado, Noem M.
This action research explored the challenges encountered by first-year Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) students in performing visual arts activities in their Art Appreciation subject at DMMMSU–Mid La Union Campus. It aimed to identify students’ preferred visual art forms, determine common challenges involving resource availability, artistic skills, time management, and motivation, and develop an action plan to address these difficulties. Among the three art forms considered—photography, painting, and sculpture—photography was the most preferred. The identified challenges included limited artistic skills and experience, time constraints, and insufficient access to materials. The study also reported improved post-test performance following guided instruction and feedback. The proposed action plan includes workshops, shared art resources, peer critique, manageable project deadlines, art contests, and teacher development activities to support students’ artistic skills and engagement.
Drill-based method in teaching volleyball
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2025-05) Ballesil, Kasandra Rose R.; Ebreo, Reynald F.; Salanga, Arachien C.; Dulay, Jhanna Marie B.; Marquez, Joel G.; Bagano, Danny M.
This research investigated the effectiveness of a drill-based method in enhancing volleyball skills, specifically underhand service and underhand receiving, among second-year students enrolled in PATHFIT 103. Using a quasi-experimental design, the researchers assessed participants’ skill levels before and after a five-week structured intervention consisting of focused drills and consistent feedback. The findings revealed significant improvements in volleyball skills, with underhand receiving showing the greatest development. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between pre-intervention and post-intervention results (p < 0.05). The study emphasizes the importance of repetitive, targeted drills, consistent practice, immediate feedback, and skill-specific interventions. It recommends continued use of structured drills, integration of real-game scenarios, and video analysis to further enhance skill mastery.
