It involved intermediate-grade English language teachers in the public elementary schools. This study looked into the level of the technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge of the teachers, their level of work performance, and the level of learners' academic performance in English. The study used a probability sampling; simple random in particular. There were 220 teachers from the public elementary schools who participated in the study. The study revealed that the teachers' level of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge is very extensive. In terms of the level of teachers' performance based on their IPCRF ratings, majority of the them have very satisfactory performance. Meanwhile, the level of the learners' academic performance in English reveals that majority of them have satisfactory performance. The teachers' level of technological knowledge is significantly correlated with the pedagogical, and content knowledge which indicates that there is an association among the three types of knowledge. Also, the teachers' level of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge does not significantly influence their work performance and their learners' performance. Based on the findings, a capability-building program was crafted with the primary goal that is to improve the level of knowledge of teachers on the advancements of technology in and for learning, innovations of instructional approaches, strategies, and techniques, and development of content through research-based information and knowledge.

The study is considered developmental and quasi-experimental or one group pre-test and posttest since it underwent three phases namely: planning, development, validation, and utilization. In the planning stage, the least learned skill (LLS) was identified based on the item analysis of the first grading quarterly test. From the LLS obtained, the researcher made one Contextualized Learning Material (CLM). The content experts rated the developed SIMs "very satisfactory" which means that they viewed the materials suitable and appropriate for students to master the competency. The usability experts on the other hand, rated the developed CLM "very satisfactory" which implied that they considered the CLM as teacher support material that can be used to master the Math 7 competency "sets". The result on the comparison using paired t-test between the students' pre-test and posttest scores which was tested at 0.05 level of significance indicated p= 0.000 which means that the null hypothesis is rejected. Thus, there is significant difference between the pre-test and posttest scores of the grade 7 students. Thus, CLM is effective in developing the conceptual understanding of the students on the competency "sets". It is then recommended that teachers may also develop more contextualized learning materials for other topics in Mathematics and for other subject areas to address the students' least learned skills.

It utilized the quasi-experimental design specifically, one group pre-test posttest design. The study used Revised Phil-IRI Group Screening Test as the baseline in determining the participants of the reading intervention which highlighted the use of small group instruction. Graded Passages Pre-Test and Posttest was employed to identify whether the use of the intervention strategy used was effective. The study hypothesized that there is no significant difference between the performance of the participants in the PHIL-IRI Graded Passages Pre-Test and Posttest. There were 26 participants of the study who took the graded passages tests. They were grouped according to their actual reading profile. They were given reading remediation according to their capability. Results show that in terms of the reading performance in word recognition and comprehension, grade 6 pupils with grade 3 reading level have improved after the conduct of small group instruction. The same result was found with the grade 6 pupils with grades 4 and 5 reading levels. Further, evidence show that the reading intervention strategy employed, was effective.

Moreover, it also aimed to determine the relationship between the level of awareness and the level of compliance of the teachers in the DRRM program, particularly in flood disasters, and its consistency in the level of implementation as a basis for a localized intervention plan by utilizing mixed method design. Survey questionnaires were administered among the randomly selected 562 participants to obtain information on the study. The numerical data were analyzed using the descriptive-correlational method through the weighted mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation and an inductive type of thematic analysis for the qualitative part. The results revealed that the participants have very satisfactory awareness in the fields of enabling environment, safe learning facilities, disaster risk management, and risk reduction and resilience education and have shown satisfactory compliance in the same fields. The implementation of the flood DRRM was satisfactory. Thus, it further showed that the level of awareness and the level of compliance has a significant relationship but none of them has a significant relationship with the level of implementation. Findings indicated that flood DRRM is not emphasized in the schools. It was concluded that giving focus on school DRRM and conduct of relevant flood DRRM activities are important to establish flood resilience in schools.

However, people cannot just bring any beautiful ornamental plants as they please especially to a school campus. Plants ideally possess defense mechanisms to protect themselves from harm. Hence, they develop thorns, spikes, and scents to ward off any potential predators. A piece of knowledge about this plant defense mechanism as well as plants’ toxicity should be instilled among the adults in the learning space, particularly the teachers. Thus, this paper intends to ascertain the level of awareness of public school teachers on toxic and harmful plants commonly found in the classroom or school premises and determine the level of prevention and protection for learners against plant-causing emergencies. Results reveal that the teachers’ awareness particularly on making the learning space ...

Specifically, a multiple case study was conducted to examine the ways in which the development of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) was promoted in the existing curriculum of three teacher education institutions in Flanders. In the three cases, data were drawn from semi-structured interviews with the heads of the department and the ICT coordinators. Focus group discussions collected the perspectives of pre-service teachers and teacher educators. The results indicate that 1) the three institutions are moving from ICT as a “stand-alone” course towards embedding ICT across the curriculum and 2) three approaches were adopted for developing pre-service teachers’ TPACK, each representing different ways of understanding the place of ICT in the curriculum. The discussion will focus on the challenges and opportunities inherent in understanding how to develop pre-service teachers’ TPACK in the curriculum of teacher education institutions."""""

The study underwent three phases namely: planning, development and validation. The first stage is planning in which the least learned competencies (LLC) were identified based on the item analysis of the periodic tests. The researcher made eight (8) SIMs based on the identified LLC. Second stage is the development in which the intervention materials were developed based on Vygotsky's Scaffolding, Keller's Personalized System of Instruction, Renner's Curriculum Model of Instruction based on Curriculum Development Theory (CDT) of Dewey and Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory. After developing the SIMs, the usability experts validated the usability of the materials. The experts were purposively chosen. They were the master teachers of the intermediate grade levels who have been teaching English in public schools for five (5) years. The researcher-made instrument was used in validating the materials. The developed SIMs were rated "very satisfactory". This implied that the usability experts considered the SIMs as teacher support materials that can be used to master the competencies in elementary English 4. The researcher improved the aspects of the materials that were rated "satisfactory". It is recommended that the teachers should develop more strategic intervention materials for other subject areas to address the pupils' least learned competencies. ,

Moreover, it also aimed to determine the relationship between the level of awareness and the level of compliance of the teachers in the DRRM program, particularly in flood disasters, and its consistency in the level of implementation as a basis for a localized intervention plan by utilizing mixed method design. Survey questionnaires were administered among the randomly selected 562 participants to obtain information on the study. The numerical data were analyzed using the descriptive-correlational method through the weighted mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation and an inductive type of thematic analysis for the qualitative part. The results revealed that the participants have very satisfactory awareness in the fields of enabling environment, safe learning facilities, disaster risk management, and risk reduction and resilience education and have shown satisfactory compliance in the same fields. The implementation of the flood DRRM was satisfactory. Thus, it further showed that the level of awareness and the level of compliance has a significant relationship but none of them has a significant relationship with the level of implementation. Findings indicated that flood DRRM is not emphasized in the schools. It was concluded that giving focus on school DRRM and conduct of relevant flood DRRM activities are important to establish flood resilience in schools.

However, people cannot just bring any beautiful ornamental plants as they please especially to a school campus. Plants ideally possess defense mechanisms to protect themselves from harm. Hence, they develop thorns, spikes, and scents to ward off any potential predators. A piece of knowledge about this plant defense mechanism as well as plants’ toxicity should be instilled among the adults in the learning space, particularly the teachers. Thus, this paper intends to ascertain the level of awareness of public school teachers on toxic and harmful plants commonly found in the classroom or school premises and determine the level of prevention and protection for learners against plant-causing emergencies. Results reveal that the teachers’ awareness particularly on making the learning space ...

Specifically, a multiple case study was conducted to examine the ways in which the development of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) was promoted in the existing curriculum of three teacher education institutions in Flanders. In the three cases, data were drawn from semi-structured interviews with the heads of the department and the ICT coordinators. Focus group discussions collected the perspectives of pre-service teachers and teacher educators. The results indicate that 1) the three institutions are moving from ICT as a “stand-alone” course towards embedding ICT across the curriculum and 2) three approaches were adopted for developing pre-service teachers’ TPACK, each representing different ways of understanding the place of ICT in the curriculum. The discussion will focus on the challenges and opportunities inherent in understanding how to develop pre-service teachers’ TPACK in the curriculum of teacher education institutions."""""

The study underwent three phases namely: planning, development and validation. The first stage is planning in which the least learned competencies (LLC) were identified based on the item analysis of the periodic tests. The researcher made eight (8) SIMs based on the identified LLC. Second stage is the development in which the intervention materials were developed based on Vygotsky's Scaffolding, Keller's Personalized System of Instruction, Renner's Curriculum Model of Instruction based on Curriculum Development Theory (CDT) of Dewey and Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory. After developing the SIMs, the usability experts validated the usability of the materials. The experts were purposively chosen. They were the master teachers of the intermediate grade levels who have been teaching English in public schools for five (5) years. The researcher-made instrument was used in validating the materials. The developed SIMs were rated "very satisfactory". This implied that the usability experts considered the SIMs as teacher support materials that can be used to master the competencies in elementary English 4. The researcher improved the aspects of the materials that were rated "satisfactory". It is recommended that the teachers should develop more strategic intervention materials for other subject areas to address the pupils' least learned competencies. ,

It utilized the quasi-experimental design specifically, one group pre-test posttest design. The study used Revised Phil-IRI Group Screening Test as the baseline in determining the participants of the reading intervention which highlighted the use of small group instruction. Graded Passages Pre-Test and Posttest was employed to identify whether the use of the intervention strategy used was effective. The study hypothesized that there is no significant difference between the performance of the participants in the PHIL-IRI Graded Passages Pre-Test and Posttest. There were 26 participants of the study who took the graded passages tests. They were grouped according to their actual reading profile. They were given reading remediation according to their capability. Results show that in terms of the reading performance in word recognition and comprehension, grade 6 pupils with grade 3 reading level have improved after the conduct of small group instruction. The same result was found with the grade 6 pupils with grades 4 and 5 reading levels. Further, evidence show that the reading intervention strategy employed, was effective. Thus, it is recommended that a reading intervention program which highlighted the use of small group instruction will be used by teachers to improve the reading performance of their pupils. Index Terms comprehension, PHIL-IRI, reading intervention program, reading performance, small group instruction 1.
