Research paper thumbnail of Needs analysis on the research capabilities of the Diocesan Secondary School teachers of Abra: basis for a capability enhancement program

Questionnaire, documentary analysis, and unstructured interview were the instruments used in substantiating the needed data for the study. Fortyfive (45) teachers were the respondents of the study. Descriptivecorrelational methods of investigation were utilized in the study. Teachers of the selected schools are females, unmarried, and whose age is 28 years old and below. Most of them have already started their post graduate studies and were college graduates from private higher educational institutions. Further, majority of them did not yet experience to attend seminars in research. These teachers toughly need assistance in writing research proposals particularly in conceptualizing their framework. Moreover, they mostly need help in writing research conclusions. The teachers' sex, civil status, age, highest educational attainment, type of school graduated from college, and attendance to seminars on research do not bring any significant effect to their level of needs in writing the research either in the proposal or in the full-blown research ready for journal publications. Therefore, there is really a need for the diocesan school teachers of Abra to be guided in the writing of research proposals and as well as in writing the full-blown research for journal publications. A research enhancement program is to be extended to them by agencies who provide technical support and assistance. Lastly, Administrators of these schools must send their faculty to attend research writing enhancement programs.

A preference inventory was utilized to determine the learning style of the respondents while their achievement in Geometry was gauged using an achievement test. The quantitative-descriptive method of research was used in analysing and interpreting the data of the study. Majority of the respondents are visual learners. The kinesthetic learners performed best in all the three learning areas namely; Ratio and Proportion, Similar Triangles, and Pythagorean Theorem. The level of performance of the respondents in Geometry when grouped according to learning styles did not significantly differ. Whatever the learning style a student has, it does not affect his/her performance in school specifically in Geometry. Mathematics teachers may be encouraged to look and apply strategies that could enhance more the abilities of th...

Research paper thumbnail of Mediating Roles of the Cooperating Teachers’ Self-Efficacy to the Pre-Service Teachers’ Classroom Instruction and Evaluation

The sample consisted of twenty-one cooperating Kindergarten teachers and twenty-one preschool education (PSEd) pre-service teachers. This study employed descriptive-investigatory research. Cooperating teachers have a strong determination to deal with academic-related challenges which they encounter, and also to manage personal conflicts, but they do not compromise being openminded to someone opposing them. The pre-service teachers meet the standards set by the college regarding the different competencies in preparation for the actual teaching. They do best in the preparation of teaching aids, while their ability to answer questions during actual demonstration teaching should be improved. The General Self-Efficacy (GSE) of the cooperating teachers does not mediate with the level of pre-service teachers' classroom instruction and evaluation performance. The teaching and management skills of the future teachers are brought about by the high self-efficacy of their cooperating teachers in a mediating role.

The intellective attributes of the respondents considered were type of high school graduated, SHS strand, General Weighted Average (GWA), OLSAT Scores, scholastic achievement, and course while engineering proficiency examinations was measured in terms of general education and specialized subjects. Quantitative research design was utilized in this study. Total enumeration of the 156 freshmen engineering students were the respondents of the study. The OLSAT and the departmental made questionnaires were the main tool. Frequency counts and percentages, weighted mean, t- Test, and ANOVA were utilized. Findings revealed that the respondents were graduates of public high schools. Their course is parallel to their SHS academic strands. They performed satisfactorily in high school and also in their freshmen scholastic achievement. Mostly wanted to become civil engineers however, th...
