ANALYSIS OF TEACHER-STUDENT INTERACTION IN SIBIKA AT KULTURA VI
(Iza S. Agrazamendez; Rosalie T. Batino; & Ricky James Sebastian, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the interaction between the teacher and pupils in Sibika at Kultura VI.
The respondents of the study were Grade VI teachers teaching Sibika at Kultura as well as the Grade
VI pupils from the three Public Elementary Schools of the City Schools Division of Koronadal. The
study made used of descriptive research design. The instructional was Fladers’ Interaction Analysis
System. It is a well-known teacher-student classroom interaction observation system, a recording
and analysis of interaction events. It was piloted to a group of teachers in San Vicente Elementary
School, Banga, South Cotabato before it was used. The findings of the study show that the teachers
dominated the teacher-student interaction. The results also showed that teacher talk is more of
direct influence than indirect influence. On the other hand, the results also revealed that pupils
were not active in initiating ideas and giving responses to the teacher. It was found out that there
was also a minimal amount of silence or confusion. In addition, it showed that in these Grade Six
Sibika at Kultura, classroom activities are still of teacher’s dominance just like the traditional
classroom setting. In these classes, teacher’s activities were not motivating pupils’ interest, hence,
no active participation of the pupils. Based on the results given, it was concluded that in these
Sibika at Kultura VI, teacher-student interaction was dominated by the teachers. Teachers spent
most of their time restricting pupils’ participation, like giving lectures, giving directions and
justifying authority. Teachers rarely support or encourage pupil participation; teachers seldom
accept feeling and ideas, but frequently praise and passive learners. Pause, silence or confusion on
the other hand, happens only once in a while. The study recommended the following: First, teachers
should not only spend the teaching earning time by giving and explaining the lesson, but rather
teachers should organize class activities to make their interaction more effective. Second, teachers
should not only spend the teaching earning time by giving and explaining the lesson. Third,
Teachers should be firm and clear in giving instructions and directions so that the pupils will
seldom ask clarifications. Fourth, Teachers should give more reinforcements to the pupils. Lastly,
teachers can make the pupils participate more actively by engaging them to more creative group
activities. Creative but simple visual aids and other teaching materials make the pupils more
motivated to engage in the teaching-learning process.

APPLICATIONOF MATHEMATICS IN REAL LIFE
(May Flor S. Alacayan & Charry S. Bernadas, March 2013)
Abstract
This research aims to describe and determine the concept and understanding of the 4 th year
students in the application of mathematics in real life as perceived by the 4th year students. The
subjects of the study were the 36 selected 4th year students enrolled in Punong Grande National
High School Annex of School Year 2012-2013. Descriptive research design was used. The data of the
study were gathered through survey questionnaire which consisted of 15 items and personal
interview. The research instrument made by the researchers was critiqued and validated by a panel
of experts in terms of its content. Findings of the study show that the concepts and understanding
of 4th year students in math is useful, significant for future career, important subject to learn, and
applicable even outside the school setting. They emphasized the connection of mathematics in their
life. The application of the mathematics in real life as perceived by 4th year students is best
illustrated in their cooking, selling, buying and travel activities.

COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN SELECTED TOPICS IN
COLLEGE TRIGONOMETRY
(Jerry Bee B. Baladjay; Claudin Grace H. Maglunob; & Keene Karl E. Robles, March 2013))
Abstract
This study aims to develop computer-aided instructional material in selected topics in College
trigonometry. The study made used of descriptive research design. The respondents of the study
were the students of Notre Dame of Marbel University, City of Koronadal. The instrument was a test
questionnaire made by the researchers, and was critiqued and validated by a panel of experts in
terms of its content before it was conducted. In the conduct of this study, the researchers applied
pure lecture on radians the controlled group, while in the experimental group the researchers made
use of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) as an instructional material in support to the lesson.
The findings of the study show that supplementing lessons with CAI made the lesson more
understandable. Results of the post-test reveal that the performance of the experimental group is
better than the controlled group. Considering the major findings of the study, the researchers
conclude that the Computer-Aided Instruction is an effective tool in improving students’ academic
performance.

CONCEPTS OF PEACE AND PEACE INITIATIVES AMONG MULTI – CULTURAL YOUNG
LEARNERS
(Hazelmay C. Calvez; Cherie Mae B. Depositario; Jenny Mae D. Dignadice;
& Virna Liza S. Panaguiton, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to determine the concepts of peace, the sources of peace, and the initiative to
promote peace of multi-cultural young learners in South Cotabato. The respondents of the study
were the 60 Grade VI multi-cultural young learners in three (3) selected Elementary Schools in
South Cotabato, namely: (a) Lugan Central Elementary School in Lugan 1, Poblacion, T’boli, South
Cotabato; (b) Marbel Central 1 Elementary School in Bo.1, Koronadal City, South Cotabato; and (c)
Esperanza Elementary School in Brgy. Esperanza,Koronadal City, South Cotabato. The study made
used of qualitative research design. The research instrument used in the study was the Focus Group
Discussion (FGD) Guide Questionnaire which was made by the researchers and was critiqued and
validated by the panel of experts in terms of its construction of questions. The FGD Guide
Questionnaire was piloted to a group of Grade VI pupils before it was used in the study. The
findings of the study show that the main concept of peace among multi-cultural young learners is
the harmonious relationship towards one another. It shows that the respondents have experienced
good relationship with their family, classmates, and with the people around them. The sources of
peace among multi-cultural young learners are the teachers and parents. Their teachers and
parents taught them with the concepts and gestures of peace as well as showed peaceful
relationship to them. The initiatives to promote peace among multi-cultural young learners are
through modeling good values, establishing harmonious relationship and loving. The study
recommends that teachers in the public schools should have sufficient instructional materials on
peace for the pupils to read and for the teachers to strengthen the integration of peace in their
lessons. It is also recommended that schools should conduct trainings and seminars on peace for
parents and teachers so that peace will be authentically promoted in school, home, and community.

COPING MECHANISMS OF TEACHERS AND PARENTS HANDLING CHILDREN WITH
PHYSICAL DISABILITIES
(Diannarah S. Galpito; Ruvy Love F. Ramirez; & Shiela Mae Q. Sola, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to determine the coping mechanisms of teachers and parents in handling children
with physical disabilities. The respondents were the teachers and parents of three children with
physical disabilities in Marbel 5 Central Elementary School. The study made use of the descriptive
research design. The research instruments used were the Interview Guide and Observation Guide
made by the researchers. The instruments were critiqued and validated by the panel of experts in
terms of its contents. It was piloted to a group of teachers and parents before it was validated. The
findings of the study show that both teachers and parents have varied coping mechanisms in
catering the needs of children with physical disabilities. The teachers used physical objects and
symbols as strategies in helping children with physical disabilities deal with the daily
circumstances. On the other hand, the parents show support to their children with disability and
ask other people about effective strategies on how to deal with children with disability. The study
recommends that parents and teachers handling special children must undergo training for them to
treat the disabled children effectively. The school that caters the physically disabled children must
provide accessible and educational materials to the SPED classroom.

DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE AND WORK ABILITY OF TEACHERS IN THE CITY OF
KORONADAL
(Wennzel Kenn G. Atam; Jennifer O. Casiano; & Girlie Joy P. Jaena, March 2012)
Abstract
This study aims to determine the relationship between work ability of the public school teachers
and their demographic profile in terms of age, civil status, and number of years in service. The work
ability is measured by an index describing teacher’s health resources with regard to their work
demands. The respondents of the study were the teachers of public schools in Koronadal City that
ages 45-60 years old. The study used the self-administered questionnaire: Work Ability Index
(WAI) developed by the Finish Institution of Occupational Health which gives information about the
individual health state. The findings of the study show that majority of the respondents are in the
age bracket of 45-59 years old, married, with 21-35 years in service, and without other work
assignments. The teaching functions of the teacher-respondents are physically and psychologically
demanding. Their current work ability is very good. Considering the demands in their work, most of
them claimed that they suffered from musculoskeletal disease (e.g. repeated pain in joint muscle,
sciatica, rheumatism and arthritis). Most of them were diagnosed with cardiovascular-related
diseases (e.g. hypertension, coronary heart disease). However, despite the experienced diseases,
the teachers often enjoy the regular daily activities and have been active and alert for the last three
months (during data gathering). Furthermore, there is no or little significant relationship between
the demographic profile of the respondents (age, civil status, and years of service) and their work
ability index. Based on the results of the study, the researchers recommend the following: the
teachers who are in the age bracket of 45-60 years old need to be health conscious and must have a
regular check-up; and future researchers of similar study may include other factors affecting work
performance, such as: the passion of teachers for teaching and school environment.

DEVELOPMENT OF MTB-BIG BOOK IN PHYSICAL EXERCISE FOR GRADE-I
(Cherry Mae V. Duno; Jenefer C. Biadoma; & Angela Kristy M. Laguna, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to develop MTB Big Book for Grade 1 pupils in Physical Exercises which is written
in Ilonggo dialect. This study wants to determine the effectiveness of Big book as teaching materials
in Physical Education for Grade-I. The respondents of the study were the Grade 1 pupils of
Koronadal Central-l Elementary School. The developed Big Book was critiqued and validated by the
expert in Ilonggo language. The instrument used was the rating scale and practicum test. The result
of the practicum test of 15 pupil-respondents shows that with the use of Big Book as teaching aid,
the pupils all got a perfect score. Performance of the pupil-respondents in Physical Exercise was
then assessed by the teacher as very satisfactory. Thus, the researchers recommended that the
school should maximize the use of Big Books as teaching tools in teaching physical exercise using
the mother-tongue or local language of the place as medium of instruction.

DEVELOPMENT OF MTB-MLE BIG BOOK IN MATHEMATICS FOR GRADE 1
(Roschel Mae Belandres; Desie Bergado; & Florence Florinto, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to develop MTB-big books for Addition in Grade 1 Mathematics. The respondents of
the study were the Grade 1 Mathematics pupils of Sta. Cruz Elementary School, Brgy. Sta. Cruz, City
of Koronadal. The study made used of descriptive research design. Research instruments used were
the pre-test and post-test questionnaires made by the researchers. The developed teaching material
was validated by the resident teacher together with an expert in mother tongue (Bisaya-Cebuano).
Findings of the study showed that MTB-MLE Big Book can be designed in line with the learning
competencies for Grade 1; the developed MTB-MLE Big Book underwent validation by the resident
teacher and an expert; and the pupils’ test performance has increased with the use of the developed
MTB-MLE Big Book in Addition. Based on the results given, it can be concluded that the MTB-MLE
Big Book in Math can be designed; the MTB-MLE Math Big Book can improve the test performance
of Grade 1pupils in Addition. The study recommends that the MTB-MLE Big Book should be used by
Grade 1 Teachers in teaching Addition. The development of Big Books is essential in other topics in
Math for Grade 1.

LEVEL OF DANCE PERFORMANCE OF THE P.E. 112 STUDENTS OF NDMU: BASIS FOR
ENHANCEMENT STRATEGIES
(Ronan Paul S. Aquino; Kevin Kent N. Formacion; & Shiela Ruth A. Sumongcad, March 2013)
Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to determine the level of dancing skills: Dance Performance
(Mastery of the steps, Rhythm/Tempo, Coordination/Timing, Good Form, and Enthusiasm) and
Dance Interpretation of the P.E. 112 students as basis for an enhancement lessons in Physical
Education 112: Health and Rhythmic Activities. The data were gathered from the Physical
Education 112 students of Notre Dame of Marbel University who were enrolled in the Second
Semester of School Year 2012-2013. Findings show that the dance performance of the students in
Ballroom Dancing has an overall mean rating of 3.07, while their performance in Folkdance is 2.78.
This implies that the overall dance performance of the PE 112 students of 2.96, as rated by the
MAPEH major students, is satisfactory. However, they need to improve in performing the dance
steps, gracefulness, and timing.

LEVEL OF PROFICIENCY IN SPELLING OF GRADE 7 STUDENTS OF STO. NINO
NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
(Nestle C. Chiva; Grace Ann T. Gevero; & Rhona Mae D. Paulo, March 2013)
Abstract
Proficiency in spelling actually supports reading. Correct spelling is important in learning how to
pronounce and use the words appropriately. This study examines the level of proficiency in Spelling
and the strategies used by the teachers in enhancing the spelling ability of Grade 7 students of Sto.
Niňo National High School. The researchers also examined the factors affecting the spelling ability
of the students. Findings show that the students are not proficient in Spelling due to their difficulty
in silent letters, in consecutive vowels or consonants words, and in listening skills. Accurate spelling
reflects more advanced linguistic knowledge because it requires the integration of phonological,
orthographic, and morphological knowledge. One could not expect a student who struggles in
reading words to be a precocious speller.

LEVEL OF SATISFACTION OF ELEMENTARY PUPILS WITH SOME SELECTED SCHOOL
FACTORS
(Marjo Angel Loja; Aubrey June Januto; Gil Grace Suson; & Emy Faderon, March 2013)
Abstract
The study aims to determine the level of satisfaction of elementary pupils with selected school
factors. The respondents of this study were the Grade 6 pupils of the different elementary schools
in the City of Koronadal. Twenty (20) respondents were identified in the three (3) public schools
with a total number of sixty (60) respondents. The respondents were identified randomly. The data
gathered from the respondents show that they are satisfied with all areas that affect their schooling
specifically in terms of: school performance, teachers, school support, learning facilities and
learning environment. Based on the findings of the study the researchers further recommend the
following: the home-school partnership should be strengthened in every school; the ParentsTeachers Association (PTCA) should be supportive to the school in addressing the concerns of the
pupils; and the parents, teachers and principal, and the city government need to provide additional
support for the needs of the school.

LEXICAL DENSITY OF WRITTEN LANGUAGE OF EDUCATION STUDENTS
(Jessica L. Diminguez; Heziel Mae C. Estillore; & Martee Geoff Salvador, March 2013)
Abstract
Writing is a complex process of expressing an individual’s thought. Teaching student in school is a
very important aspect for the teacher. Researchers have noticed that some of the students have
difficulty in writing. They are unable to communicate ideas or grasp ideas transmitted to them as
clearly as they would like to. Enough time for checking the students’ written works is needed. The
researchers conducted a study that focuses on Lexical Density (LD) of the first and second year
education students. Lexical Density illustrates how much information is contained within the
written text. The researchers conducted the study for the respondents, as the future educators to be
conscious of what and how they write. The study aimed to determine the LD of the chosen
population and its difference as classified according to their sex, age, and area of specialization. This
is achieved through letting the respondents to respond to the prompt by writing an essay consisting
two hundred fifty (250) words with the guidance of the given criteria. To analyze the LD and its
differences, number of lexical or content words and LD formula were used. To see clearly the good
picture of the differences, one-way ANOVA and Pearson Correlation Coefficient were used as
statistical treatment. The findings show that the respondents have an average level of lexical
density, as classified according to their sex, age, and course do not really differ from each other.
Through reading students’ works, problems like, difficulty in sentence construction, misspelled
words and limited vocabulary were observed. Through identifying the respondent’s LD, the school
administration will be given the idea about the performance of education students towards written
language proficiency and work hand in hand to create programs with regard to the development of
students’ written language proficiency since they will become future teachers.

LITERACY SKILLS AND THE USE COMPUTERS OF GRADE VI PUPILS IN THE CITY
DIVISION OF KORONADAL
(Karen Joy D. Billanes; Anna Dawn T. Magno; & Marivic V. Nabiong, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the literacy skills and the use of computers of Grade VI pupils at the
selected schools in the City Division of Koronadal. The respondents of the study were 145 selected
Grade VI pupils in the City Division of Koronadal. The study made used of descriptive research
design. The instrument was a test made by the researchers, and was critiqued and validated by a
panel of experts in terms of the its content and was piloted to a group of pupils before it was used.
The findings of the study show that the respondents are computer literate; they passed the normal
score in using computer applications; and they always play online games. It can therefore be
concluded that the respondents are already exposed to the technology. In the light of the results of
the study, it is recommended to expose the pupils to computer technology for them to learn
different applications so that they can perform their educational activities that require the use of
the technology. To the administrators, they should provide enough computers to schools that could
cater all the pupils so that they will be guided with navigation/surfing the internet. The pupil’s
computer applications should not only focus on games but rather they should be involved in
different applications that are relevant to their real life situations and that they can apply what they
have learned.

MEKANIKS SA PAGSULAT NG SANAYSAY NA DI PORMAL GAMIT ANG WIKANG
FILIPINO NG MGA MAG-AARAL NA NASA IKALAWANG TAON NG NOTRE DAME OF
NEW ILO-ILO
(Crisanto M. Lumbay Jr., March 2013)
Abstrak
Ang pag-aaral na ito ay naglalayong malaman kung gaano kahusay ang mga mag-aaral sa paggamit
ng bantas na tuldok, kuwit at gitling; at gaano kahusay ang mga mag–aaral sa paggamit ng
malalaking titik sa pagsulat ng di pormal na sanaysay. Binigyang kasagutan sa tesis na ito ang mga
tiyak na suliranin ng pag-aaral: antas ng kahusayan ng mga mag-aaral sa pagsulat ng sanaysay na di
pormal gamit ang wikang Filipino at kakayahang maiugnay ang binasa sa sariling karanasan; at
aspeto na kinakitaan ng kagalingan at kahinaan ng mga mag-aaral sa pagsulat ng mga bantas.
Nakapaloob din sa tesis na ito ang mga talahanayan ng mga 16agging resulta sa ginawang
pagsusulit bilang bahagi ng proseso sa paglikom ng mga kinakailangang datos. Ipinapakita sa mga
talahanayan ang kabuuang porsyento na nakuha ng mga 16agging16g16 sa bawat aspeto kung
saan ginamitan ng batayang panukat ng National Education Testing Research Center para matukoy
kung nasa anong antas ng kahusayan sa pagbasa ng maikling kwento napabibilang ang mga
16agging16g16 batay sa mga aspetong nabanggit. Batay sa 16agging resulta ng pag-aaral, ang antas
ng kahusayan sa pagsulat ng di pormal na sanaysay gamit ang wikang Filipino ng mga
16agging16g16 ay di gaanong mataas na may 66% na kabuuang porsyento. Ito’y natukoy sa
pamamagitan ng pagsagawa ng balidong pagsusulit kung saan kinapalolooban ng apat na aspeto,
ang pagkilala sa talasalitaan, pag-unawang literal, pangunahing diwa, at kakayahang maiugnay ang
binasa sa sariling karanasan. Idinudulog ng mananaliksik na magsasagawa ang paaralan ng isang
seminar para sa mga guro na nagtuturo ng Filipino hinggil sa mga mabisang istratehiya sa
pagtuturo ng pagbasa. Maaari ring gawing batayan ang pag-aaral na ito ng mga susunod na
mananaliksik upang mas lalo pang mapagtibay ang bawat ebidensya hinggil sa antas ng kahusayan
ng mga 16agging16g16. Iminumungkahi rin 16agging16g batayan ang pag-aaral na ito upang
magkaroon ng mataas na kalidad ng edukasyon sa bansa.

MOTHER TONGUE BASED BIG BOOK IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR GRADE 1
(Frondozo, Dullie; Olaloy, Michael; & Tolosa Ceprian Paul, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to validate the MTB-MLE Big book in Physical Education for Grade 1 in terms of:
content, instructional quality, and visual representation; and try-out the MTB-MILE Big book in
Physical Education for Grade 1. The respondents of this study were the Grade 1 pupils in Koronadal
Central Elementary School 1. The study made used of descriptive research design. The instrument
used was validated by the panel of experts in terms of its content and was piloted to a group of
teachers before it was used. The findings show that the MTB-MLE Big book in Physical Education
for Grade 1 is Below Average in terms of its effectiveness. On the other hand, it is observed that the
Big books have provided the pupils immediate opportunities to experience reading that exposed
them to creative and imaginative views. The study recommended the following: (a) The use of the
produced Big books for the Physical Education of Grade 1 pupils; (b) The Big books can be prepared
to cover topics in Physical Education; (c) There is a need to connect the relevance of the Big Book to
the objectives that will be tested for the First Grading topics; and (d) There is a need to improve
further the Big Book to make it effective.

MULTIMEDIA SUPPORTED LESSON IN EPP FOR GRADE SIX PUPILS
(Jose Apollo T. Valdoz II; Ervin Joy B. Puyong; & Rodelyn R. Tomas, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to improve a designed multimedia supported lesson in EPP for Grade Six. The
respondents of the study were the ten (10) Grade Six EPP teachers in Marbel 1 Central Elementary
School. The study made use of Research & Development design. The instrument used was a survey
questionnaire made by the researchers, and was critiqued and validated by a panel of experts in
terms of its content, organization, and visual presentation. It was piloted to a group of teachers
before it was used. The researchers used a downloaded designed multimedia supported lesson
through its content, organization, and visual presentation with the help of their respondents by
using the rating scale. The researchers gathered the data and found out that the designed visual
presentation of the lesson in EPP should be improved. The researchers made a new visual
presentation of the lesson in EPP by following the suggested ideas of experts. The findings of the
study show that the designs of multimedia supported lessons, showing most of the slides of the
lessons, are accepted and have some revisions. Only few of the teachers decided to reject some
slides of the presentation of the designed lesson. The multi-media supported lessons were assessed
according to its content, organization, and visual presentation. The results show that the content,
organization and visual presentation of multimedia were very satisfactory. Based on the results
given, it can be concluded that the designed multimedia supported lesson can be used to teach EPP
in Grade Six. The study recommends that the researchers need to design the multimedia supported
lesson – its use and its effectiveness to students in EPP. It is also recommended that other parts of
the lesson in the presentation should be removed, especially the parts that are not important and
those that are not common to most students and teachers.

READING COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES OF FOURTH YEAR STUDENTS
(Lem Razel Rose M. Butihen; Jona P. Cabucos; & Ryan Mark A. Petogo, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to provide a reading recommendation to Fourth Year Students of Saravia National
High School regarding their reading comprehension strategies, reading problems and the subject
matters that they are interested in based from the results of the findings. The respondents of the
study were the Fourth Year Students of Saravia National High School. The study made used of
descriptive research design. The instrument use was a survey questionnaire made by the
researchers, however critiqued and validated by a panel of experts in terms of its content. It was
piloted to the fourth year students of Bacongco National High School, Barangay San Isidro,
Koronadal City before it was used. The findings of the study show that most Fourth Year Students of
Saravia High School used scanning, skimming, and monitoring and repairing understanding as their
major reading comprehension strategies but having lexical difficulty hindered them to understand
what they were reading. Most of them do love reading adventure. Based on the results given, it can
be concluded that the students were not so exposed to different activities that will enhance their
learning vocabulary as well as their practice of the different reading comprehension strategies. The
study recommended the following: the teachers must introduce different vocabulary activities with
the association of the different reading comprehension strategies. Teachers must expose students
to different exercises which help them practice certain reading comprehension strategy. The
teacher must consider the interest of the students thus, in giving reading assigned tasks especially
in literature subject, adventure stories must be incorporated because majority of the students love
reading them.

READING STRATEGIES AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SELECTED SCHOOLS IN
MUNICIPALITY OF T’BOLI
(Catherine N. Hiponia & Christine N. Souribio, March 2013)
Abstract
In this paper, the researchers determined the reading habits of high school students in selected
schools in the municipality of T’boli. The study was conducted in T’boli National High School and
Edwards National High School. The instrumentation used in conducting this study was survey
questionnaire and interview in order to evaluate the reading habits of the students of Edwards and
T’boli National High School. The questionnaire contains about how, why, and when the students
read. The data collected from the 40 respondents were computed and analyzed. Individual scores
from the questionnaire were grouped together according to their sub-scale category, namely: the
Global Reading Strategies (GLOB), Problem Solving Strategies (PROB) and Support Strategies
(SUPP). The researchers found out that most of the student-respondents are Problem-Solving
readers which mean that these repair strategies are used by students when problems in
understanding textual information. Students used different strategies but they are not aware of it
unless they are asked about it. Based on the findings, the researchers suggest some strategies to
promote reading among high school students. They also recommend that teachers should engage
their students in different reading activities in order to boost their interest in reading.

DIVISION OF KORONADAL
(Lian April R. Diloso & Erick Jay Baldedara, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to describe different strategies used in teaching Kindergarten in selected
elementary schools in the City Division of Koronadal. The respondents of the study were preschool
teachers in selected schools in the City Division of Koronadal. The study made use of descriptive
research design. The instrument was a survey questionnaire made by the researchers, and was
critiqued and validated by a panel of experts in terms of its content. It was piloted to a group of
teachers before it was used. The findings of the study show that preschool teachers used more the
teacher-centered strategies rather than the child-centered strategies. The common problem of
preschool teachers was having large number of learners. The study recommends that the teachers
must be aware and follow the principles of K+12 in teaching Kindergarten pupils.

STRATEGIES OF GRADE 6 TEACHERS IN MANAGING PUPILS’ DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR
(Mary Ann F. Nobleta; Ronaldo M. Pedrajas; & Fulgencio R. Villagonzalo Jr., March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to find out what strategies in managing disruptive behavior are dominantly or
prevalently used by the Grade Six teachers. The respondents of the study were the Grade Six
teachers in Marbel 1 Central Elementary School and Osita Elementary School. The study made use
of a survey questionnaire which was adopted from the internet. The instrument was critiqued and
validated by a panel of experts in terms of its content and was piloted to a group of teachers before
it was used. The findings of the study show that the occurrence of classroom incivility is seen in
situations when the pupils frequently attack other pupils verbally and also talk to other students
about issues which are not related with the lesson. When it comes to seriousness level, most of the
pupils talk out of turn which is dominantly considered by the respondents as serious. Considering
the results, the study recommends that when the most frequent and serious disruptive behavior
occurs in the classroom, the teacher must employ strategies appropriate to the level of the learners
in order to sustain the whole teaching and learning process. The following strategies may be
applied: (a) address the managing strategy to the entire class, (b) privately or publicly talk to the
student offender, (c) pause the discussion until the disruption is cleared, and (d) raise voice above
disruptive incident. Moreover, there is also a need for teachers to attend seminars related on
handling disruptive behaviors.

TEACHER FACILITATED MODULE ON SELECTED SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY FOR
SECOND YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
(Juliet E. Bacongco; Kristine Joy D. Diente; & Jomel M. Olaw, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to develop a teacher facilitated module in selected human organ system for second
year high school students and assess the teacher-facilitated learning module in terms of objectives,
instruction and technical quality. The researchers had identified the different systems of the human
body as one of the topics in science that most students find difficulties in learning. These learning
modules contain the following selected systems of the human body: Circulatory system, Digestive
system, Respiratory system, Reproductive system and Nervous System. The topics were chosen by
the researchers because it is where the students find difficulty in learning. The Biology teachers of
NDMU were requested to evaluate the facilitated module in terms of its objectives, and content.
After that, the researchers presented the module to the expert teachers for validity. Based on the
findings of the study it is recommended that the module must be subjected to pre-test and post-test
in order to determine its effectiveness. The module must be conducted to students with the
accompaniment of multimedia, internet and other resources. It also needs more revisions in order
to cater the needs and interests of the future students under the new K to 12 Curriculum.

TEACHING STRATEGIES AND DIFFICULTIES OF ENGLISH TEACHERS IN SAN MIGUEL
NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
(Jenny Rose Lopez Caguioa; Almira Maca-antao Gambao;
& Rich Glee Ismael Samillano, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to determine the appropriate use of teaching strategies by English Teachers in San
Miguel National High School. The respondents of the study were the English Teachers and 4 th year
high school students of San Miguel National High School. The research instruments used were the
checklist, observation sheet, and interview guide that were validated and pilot tested. It was found
out in the study that those teachers who have longer teaching experiences do not have enough
knowledge on the application of about teaching strategies that can enhance student’s interest and
easy understanding of the lesson. They only used Discussion Method in presenting their topic. Their
way of teaching is very traditional. On the other hand, the newly hired teachers were observed to
have showed better teaching strategies. They used their creativity in the delivery of their lessons
for the students to easily understand the subject matter. They ensure that the teaching strategies
used are appropriate to the topic and the learners. Moreover, other profile of the respondents such
as: gender, the school where they graduated from, educational qualifications (e.g. master’s degree),
and enrichment programs have nothing to do with the application of teaching strategies. What
really matter are the age and the number of years in teaching experience. The researchers
recommend for teachers’ training on the appropriate use of teaching strategies, application of the
enrichment training about the appropriate use of teaching strategies and lesson planning, and elicit
support from the administrators, teachers, and parents for the implementation of the program.

PERFORMANCE AND LEVEL OF INTEREST
(Marjoe T. Barrientos; Kristine Mae A. Ibanez & Mia B. Placer, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to determine the utilization of multimedia in teaching Science VI, its effects on
pupils’ performance, and the level of interest of pupils n Science VI. The respondents of the study
have a total population of 148: 70 pupils in Koronadal Central Elementary School-I and 78 pupils in
Koronadal Central Elementary School-II. The study made use of quasi-experimental design. The
researchers made 3 research instruments: utilization checklists, test papers, and level of interest
checklist. These research instruments were critiqued and validated by a panel of experts in terms of
its content and item construction. The level of interest checklist and test papers were piloted to 10
pupils before it was used. The utilization checklist was adopted from the Education Technology I
book by Ronato S. Ballado, which is currently used by the College of Education of NDMU. The
findings of the study show that the temperature of the classroom, learning tone, and multimedia
can affect pupils’ performance and can arouse their interest in Science. Data reveal that there is
significant difference between multimedia-assisted lesson and lecture method. The performance of
the students in multimedia-assisted lesson has higher scores compared to lecture method. There is
a significant improvement when multimedia was used compared to lecture method. The level of
performance of the students shown in the t-test result was 18.349 with a mean of 5.67142 at the
level of significance of 0.05. The result is bigger than the critical value since it shows two-tailed of
.000 which implies that the pre-test results compared to post-test result brought a significant
difference. In addition, the overall result of the level of interest checklist says that the pupils are
highly interested in Science with the integration of multimedia. Based on the results given, it is
concluded that proper utilization of multimedia can provide conducive and meaningful learning
environment that can sustain pupils’ interest and eagerness to learn. Also, there is learning from
pre-test which improved their results in post-test. The integration of multimedia in teachinglearning process is effective than the traditional way of teaching. The study recommends the
following: provision of a well-ventilated room for multimedia-assisted lesson, and provision also of
computer-generated exercises like games and simulation using electronic devices in Science lesson.

DAME OF MARBEL UNIVERSITY
(Karla Jane P. Cabiling; Marla Jeska B. Carlos & Dianne Rose L. Mangudadatu, March 2013 )
Abstract
This study aims to determine the common mechanical errors in the writings of first year ESL
students of Notre Dame of Marbel University and provide an avenue for them to improve their
writing skills especially with regard to the use of Punctuation marks and Capitalization. The
respondents of the study were the First Year ESL Learners of NDMU. This study made used of
descriptive research design and a Standardized Punctuation Mark and Capitalization Activity Sheet
as an instrument that was validated by the panel of experts on Language and Mechanics. The
researchers conducted their pilot test on a selected class consisting First Year students of NDMU
before it was used. The findings of the study show that most of the First Year ESL Learners of NDMU
are generally familiar of the correct usage of Period as well as with the correct usage of Comma in
sentences. They commonly apply these two punctuation marks in their writings. The results which
were generated from the data gathered manifested the misuse of the exclamation point. Studentrespondents are largely familiar with the usage of capitalization for proper nouns found at the
beginning of the sentence. Capitalization of words at the beginning of the sentence is where the
student-respondents commonly commit error. The study recommends the incorporation of the
lesson guides in teaching Mechanics especially in their writing.

UTILIZATION OF COMPUTER BY GRADE VI PUPILS AND TEACHERS IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
(Kriszelyn L. Farinas; Mary Grace C. Eucare & Lorie Jane P. Silverio, March 2013)
Abstract
This study aims to determine the use of educational technology inside the classroom among
Elementary schools in the City Division of Koronadal. The respondents of the study were the 30
selected teachers in 6 selected schools in the City Division of Koronadal, namely: Mary Mount High
School Inc., Mary Land School of Koronadal Inc., IBED, Osita Elementary School, Rotonda
Elementary School and Central 1 Elementary School. The study made use of descriptive research
design. The instrument was a survey questionnaire made by the researchers, and was critiqued and
validated by the experts in language and assessment. It was piloted to a group of teachers before it
was used. Findings of the study show that: (1) printed materials are always used by the teacher
because this is the basic educational tools available in the classroom; (2) audio materials are
sometimes used by the teacher in the classroom; (3) projected media do not exist in their school;
(4) motion media are sometimes used by the teachers; (5) the statements in facilitating process are
fair enough; and (6) the teachers have the same opinion in the statement about factors that hinders
the use of Educational Technology. Furthermore, the study shows that there are still many teachers
who are not capable of manipulating technological equipment in the teaching and learning process.
Based on the results given, the study concludes that: (1) all of the projected media do not exist in
public schools; (2) teachers lack expertise in manipulating technological equipment; (3) public
schools are not maximizing the use of educational technology in classroom instruction instead they
are using the traditional methods like textbooks, drawings, illustration, charts and diagrams,
photos, still pictures and flash cards; and (4) teachers prefer to use “bitay max” that sometimes
consumes time. The study recommends the following: (1) DepEd should provide educational
equipment that can help teachers to improve the teaching and learning process, increase the
students’ quality of learning, increase the efficiency of teachers in the classroom and decrease the
educational cost without sacrificing educational quality; (2) Teachers should attend trainings that
will enhance their skills in manipulating different educational technologies; and (3)DepEd should
provide seminars and trainings for teachers on the use of educational technology in teaching so that
they will be able to maximize the available materials and equipment in their school.
