The k to 12 physical education curriculum: a retrospect on the implementation and a prospect for its enhancement
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2019-05) Domiquel, Darwin G.
This study is anchored in Tyler’s Curriculum Development Model. It aimed to determine in retrospect the implementation of Physical Education curriculum in selected private Junior High Schools in the City of San Fernando, La Union.
The mixed method concurrent triangulation design was used to gather the quantitative and qualitative data needed through a questionnaire and personal interview with the respondents. The four-point Likert scale was used to obtain the Average Weighted Mean (AWM) of the quantitative data while thematic analysis was applied to describe, compare and relate in reporting the results.
Findings of the study showed that majority of PE teachers in private schools are holding a position of Teacher I with an average of 1-5 years in teaching, mostly in Grade 10. Private schools are progressing in the implementation of the curriculum. Schools could be assisted to a moderate extent. Respondents need trainings and workshops and wanted to pursue their Master’s degree in PE. The main barrier that private Junior High schools had encountered in successfully implementing the PE curriculum is the availability of resources.
Revisiting the physical education experience: relevant learnings from the lived experiences of professionals
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2019-12) Bandoc, Maureen Jane O.
Physical Education (PE) is a comprehensive program that provides a unique learning environment in schools which aims for the holistic development of students through the facilitation of varied types of movement experiences.
This qualitative phenomenological study explored the relevant learnings from the Physical Education program from the lens of the professionals’ experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to 15 professionals who are currently managers in their own workplace. Using Colaizzi's method of qualitative data analysis, this study surfaced two general themes which represents the professionals’ PE program experiences of exciting and exacting encounters. These refer to “crowning and downing”, “supporting and striving”, and “gaining and wanting” emerging the 5D’s of relevant learnings from the PE program experience namely: demonstrating excellence, displaying grit, delighting on team spirit, deciding on priorities, and dedicating on fitness. Application of these relevant learnings to the workplace were discussed as revealed by participants.
Effect of bilingual modules on the performance of senior high school students in basic calculus
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2019-07) Garnace, Jake B.
This study aimed to determine the effect of Bilingual Modules on the performance of senior high school students in Basic Calculus. It employed the design and development research and true experimental research design. The developed Bilingual Modules in Basic Calculus covered the learning competencies on differentiating algebraic, exponential, and trigonometric functions, and higher order derivatives. Two matched groups of Grade 11 learners were the respondents in the experimentation phase of the study. The control group utilized the modules in Basic Calculus written in English while the experimental group used the Bilingual Modules. Results of the experts’ evaluation revealed that the modules obtained a passing score along Content, Format, Presentation and Organization, and Accuracy and Up-to-Datedness of Information. Although the experimental group posted a higher mean score in the posttest as compared to the control group, further statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the levels of their performance.
Research capability training on statistical tools for senior high school teachers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2019-05) Ferreras, Chris John Paul M.
Researches reveal that statistical analysis is difficult to grip over and is therefore one reason for researchers to discontinue doing research. Thus, this study which utilized ex post facto experimental design, and which aimed to determine the level of competence of teachers in using basic statistical tools in research before and after the training. A questionnaire was used to identify the profile of teacher-participants as to highest educational attainment, years of teaching, researches conducted, published, and presented, and trainings attended. Competence of teachers was identified using a test. Teachers’ profile was analyzed using frequencies and percentages, and pre-test and posttest was analyzed using mean and compared using t-test.
Results showed that most teachers are masters degree holder and taught research from 0-2 years. Likewise, teachers have conducted, published, and presented Jew researches and attended limited trainings. In general, their competence increased after the training making the training significant. Therefore, the training is effective in enhancing teachers competence in using basic statistical tools in research.
Mathematics proficiency of senior high school – stem learners: basis for an empowerment program
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2019-05) Apilado, Vener Dan R.
Studies conducted revealed that good foundation on Junior High School mathematics increases the success of learners. Hence, it is essential to develop intervention programs that address the needs of learners. This descriptive- developmental study developed a Mathematics Empowerment Program for STEM learners of Aringay National High School. The program is based on the result of the proficiency test, attitude towards Mathematics, and learning styles. The Modified Fennema — Sherman Attitude Scales, Learning Styles (Felder and Soloman), and proficiency test were utilized as instruments in this research. Findings showed that attitude, both perceived usefulness and confidence, is positive, the dominant learning styles are visual and active, and the level of proficiency was at the beginning level. The proposed Mathematics Empowerment Program was constructed to address the problem. The proposed program has a very high validity, meaning it is suitable to meet the objectives of the program.
