Many school administrators in the Department of Education faced a big problem in the form of student dropouts. The aim of the study was to look at the demographic data and reasons for student dropouts in the school year 2018–2019, as well as establish an intervention program to help students avoid dropping out. The mixed method design was used in this action study. The research study used a purposive sampling method, with students who dropped out during the 2018-2019 school year as participants. In addition, random sampling was used to select focus-group discussions (FGD) in order to obtain in-depth information on the subject of this research. For this study, simple statistics such as ranking and percentage were used as statistical tools. The majority of dropouts cited personal reasons for leaving school, especially a lack of interest due to poverty, while others were affected by peers. The results were used to improve the guidance program at the school in order to keep students from dropping out. Teachers, particularly those with advisory classes, were given training on how poverty can lead to students dropping out.

The purpose of this study was to examine the students’ track and strand preferences after the SOAR (Student Orientation, Awareness, and Redirection) Intervention Program. This action research employed the descriptive quantitative research design using a researcher-made survey questionnaire that were administered to Grade 10 students from Santa Cruz National High School – Junior High School (n=319) and Manuel Francisco C. Ramos Sr. National High School (n=64). Frequency, percentage and ranking were utilized as statistical tool for this study. Results revealed that the majority of respondents opted to enroll at Sta. Cruz National High School – Senior High School. The Humanities and Social Science strand under the Academic Track had the largest number of students who favoured it over the other strands. Furthermore, it was clear that the majority of them chose the Technical Vocational Track over the Academic Track. The findings can be used to improve Career Guidance in the school, especially parents' engagement in their children's career decisions. Similarly, it is suggested that a standardized enrolment process be developed in which students undergo career assessments in order to help direct them in deciding which strand to pursue.

This study was conducted to determine the influence of the FG Vega technique on students' academic performance to address the least learned competency in Science 8. Seventy students from Grade 8 classes served as respondents of the study. The study employed a quasi-experimental method. The mean score of students who took the post-test is 32.03 and 27.57 respectively for the experimental and control group. The results can be gleaned that the score of each student in the experimental group has a little variation of mean with 6.71 as compared to the control group with a variation of 7.52. The results can be observed that the mean score of students in the pre-test under the control group is 8.80 and 11.34 under the experimental group. Thus, the results of the study can be further concluded that the students under the experimental group outperformed the students in the control group. Since the significant level is lesser than the p-value of 0.05, indicates that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test under the experimental group. Hence, there is a significant difference between the post-test of the experimental and control group.

  The study determined the state of ICT integration and the level of its implementation in the school learning system of the Department of Education (DepEd) in Junior High Schools in The Division of General Santos City during the school year 2019-2020. It utilized convergent parallel mixed method. Findings show ICT teachers taking big roles in the implementation of the program where learners were encouraged to participate in class. They maximize the teaching-learning process despite a gap on the facility maintenance and upgrading software and internet connection as hindering factors in delivering better educational services. While there were computers provided, not all learners were able to use or access them. While ICT teachers were guided by the curriculum guide with the competencies required as their legal framework, they have not established standardized modules. They only relied on the available resources in the internet. A concrete systematic approach in terms of maximizing resources, training and professional development and research was not applied. While the administration was supportive, budget allocation for the program cannot totally suffice the needs in the teaching-learning process and in the school learning system as a whole. Stakeholders’ involvement in ICT integration was evident, but there is less impact to the program as they were tapped only if needed. An organized and sustained support specifically on monitoring and evaluation of the ICT program is needed. Generally, the absence of sufficient budget and clearly identified ICT infrastructure are the major flaws of the system. The system is run through the initiatives and ingenuity of the teachers, rather than a clearly defined and implemented system. While there are positive feelings regarding the contribution of ICT to the teaching-learning environment, many teachers expressed the need for a more comprehensive intervention on ICT development.

This paper aims to analyze the transitivity patterns used in one of the most prominent short stories in Philippine Contemporary Literature “The Wedding Dance” which was written by a renowned writer Amador T. Daguio. This study is based on Halliday’s framework of transitivity analysis to delve on the meaning of the story in the literary discourse. This paper used the simple random sampling among the short stories in the Grade 7 English Learning Material from the Department of Education. In addition, the story is divided into three parts according to the number of sentences. Subsequently, part of the story has been identified and selected as basis for the analysis through random selection process. Furthermore, the paper used all 15 sentences from the first portion of the short story to be analyzed and interpreted using the functional stylistics. Analyzing and interpreting a portion of the short story in the context of functional stylistics played an integral part for it provided a portion of in depth understanding and interpretation of how each process type works and functions. It is also evident that the distribution of process type varies in different yet meaningful ways. Thus, by examining the transitivity process in the text is indeed indispensable for it explained how the field of the situation is being constructed, and have clear idea how transitivity patterns reflected the nature of the text.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Project “Parents Facilitates Reading at Home” (PFRATH) to the reading performance of Grade One Pupils of Tuban Elementary School, Santa Cruz South District in Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE). The respondents of this study were the forty-six (46) Grade One Pupils whose reading proficiency was categorized as Non-decoder, Beginning and Developing level based on Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) results conducted last February, 2021. This action research is a quantitative study that employed single group experimental research design using EGRA as an Assessment Tool. The researchers analyzed the data obtained in the Pre-Test and Post-Test in terms of Decoding Skill and Sentence Reading Skill of the respondents. Then, t-test was used to compare the results of tests through employing Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software application. The result shows that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post test scores of the Decoding Skill and Sentence Reading Skill as evidenced by the calculated t-value and p-value. Therefore, Project PFRATH is found to be effective in improving the reading performance of the Grade One pupils. Based on the findings, the researchers made the following recommendations. The school may adopt the Project PFRATH to intensify its Reading Program. Teachers from other grade levels may utilize the Project PFRATH as reading intervention to help pupils improve their reading skill. For future researchers, a similar study on Project PFRATH may be conducted in DepEd Schools.

The training of special educators leads to the understanding and interaction with the social, family and school contexts of the subjects who learn. Special education has the challenge of working with students whose biological, cognitive or social conditions do not allow them to functionally develop themselves in a regular school, so its main objective is the development of autonomy and the transition process. In this sense, the application of life stories becomes a fundamental pedagogical tool in the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes towards a professional career. This research is presented in the context of the training of special educators at the Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí. Starting from the naturalistic paradigm with a qualitative approach, the representations of future professionals about the application of life stories in the training process are examined. An ad-hoc questionnaire was developed based on the dimensions: (1) personal, organized by the categories of (a) assessment of experiences and (b) personal conflicts; (2) professional, divided into (a) professional identity and (b) ethics; and (3) community, broken down into (a) interculturality and (b) inclusion. Eleven (11) students of the special education career participated, who have elaborated life stories in cases of intellectual, physical, auditory disability and cerebral palsy in the past. In the personal dimension, positive conceptions about the experience were found, related to feelings of appropriation of the case, institutional support, construction of friendship ties. Motivation towards and understanding of the role of the special educator, learning the implications of ethics in educational research, the importance of continuous training and the improvement of social skills were found in the professional dimension. In the community dimension, representations lead to learning about the individual-family-community relationship, as well as the barriers that hinder inclusion in these contexts. It is concluded that life stories have a positive impact on the profile of the special educator. The exercise of internalization and systematization of the experiences has a high potential in the training processes, allowing to reduce the gaps between research, research practice and teacher training processes.
