The researcher utilized a Mixed Method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. The frequency count and percentage distribution were used to examine the responder profile. The association between the profile, degree, and extent of respondents’ use of EBPs in instruction was examined using the Pearson Product Moment Coefficient Correlation. The information obtained through interviews was also arranged and analyzed. Based on the findings, there is a moderate extent to respondents’ level of utilization of several evidence-based practice treatments. There is a significant relationship between teachers’ profiles and the extent of use of EBP in teaching, especially for age, highest educational attainment, and length of service. The finding suggests that the identified profile variables deemed significant influence how teachers use numerous EBP interventions. Different themes emerged during the interview with the teacher- respondents. These are Behavior management, Policies on training and resources, and an Inclusive environment. The teacher-respondents’ educational attainment and teaching experiences can be one of the reasons they face problems and challenges in using EBP in teaching students with ASD. It is challenging for teachers to implement EBPs due to the lack of trainings on specific strategies and methods targeting the effective use of this practice. In addition, behavior management in an inclusive classroom is extremely difficult, especially with a lack of support and resources. It was recommended that the school consider hiring older teachers with higher educational status and who have been in the academe for longer, especially when asked to teach in an ASD program. \u0000","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132388775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This language acquisition must go through stages. For speakers of other languages, especially those in secondary and high school, there is usually not enough time. In the context on online learning, the difficulties and challenges encountered by these learners are sometimes insurmountable. These learners need strategies and structure. This paper investigated the English language learning strategies that high school ESL learners use during online instructions and interactions. The respondents are secondary students at Government Bilingual High School, Santchou, a rural commune in Cameroon. During the Covid-19 pandemic, schools transitioned to online teaching. One hundred and eight (108) respondents completed a strategy inventory for language learning (SILL) questionnaire. The research used both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Analysis of the data collected shows that there is no significant difference in the use of English language learning strategies of the respondents in an online setting when grouped according to profile variables. In an online setting and studying on their own, the respondents rely on memory, cognitive, meta-cognitive, affective, and social and compensation strategies to various effects. The overall mean is 3.35. Compensation Strategies and Meta-cognitive Strategies are highly used, at 3.48 and 3.44 respectively. The least used were Social Strategies. The researcher concludes that there is a relationship between second language learning and acquisition and strategy inventory for language learning. The study hopes to improve English language curriculum, instruction, and teaching methods in an online setting. There should be a conscious effort to integrate learning strategies consistently during daily instructions. Future research should focus on online English language learning that integrates language-learning strategies. \u0000","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132103188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, this quantitative-descriptive study assessed the correlation between the level of instructional competencies of teachers and learners’ performance in English Language Arts among the 100 ELA teachers in the District of Santa Rosa City. They were randomly chosen; a researcher-made instrument was utilized to gather the necessary data. The statistical treatment used were Frequency, Percentage, Weighted Mean, Ranking, MPS, Correlation Ratio, and Chi-Square. Based on the findings, the respondents are 31-40 years old, female, married, BEED with MA units, and 11-15 years in service. Teachers’ instructional competency level was very high, congruent with their performance at a very satisfactory level. However, teachers encountered “Always” in all the categories in teaching English Language Arts. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship between the demographic profile of the respondents and the learner’s performance in English Language Arts. Moreover, there is no significant relationship between the teachers’ competency in ELA and the learners’ performance being rejected. Thus, the results of the study are the basis for a policy recommendation for the teachers and the students to be successful in the classroom and fill the gap; to make a strong connection to the level of instructional competencies of teachers and learners’ performance driven by data and high expectations of learning.","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126445951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for retaining student engagement and “buy-in,” and, fortunately, the virtues of flexible, conditional, and sensitive formative assessment have proven to be a fitting tool to the current moment. Prior to the pandemic, educational institutions of all sorts had acknowledged the importance of online learning modalities, wherein the students were engaged equally (or perhaps to a greater degree) compared to traditional, face-to-face instruction. Formative assessments, check-ins, communication, give-and-take are integral components of successful virtual learning—paradoxically, since the teachers and learners exist in separate spaces and (sometimes) different times. A survey was distributed to one hundred secondary teachers of District 3, Santa Rosa, Laguna in the Philippines. The survey contained categories pertaining to the teachers’ profile, the factors affecting implementation of formative assessments (namely, teaching- learning process, learner and teacher motivation, measurement and assessment, and communication), and problems encountered and recommendations by respondents in the implementation of formative assessments. The study concluded from the survey that the successful use of formative assessment is essential to online education, for it provides teachers the ability to gauge a student’s completion of a given objective, improve the teacher’s own efforts and delivery, and offer an effective opportunity for teachers to deliver feedback and improve communication. Furthermore, formative assessments allow students to partake of their own self-assessment and determine their own strengths and weaknesses pertaining to the objective at hand, as well as other related objectives more holistically. The study’s recommendations consist of school systems at home and abroad making extensive use of flexible assessment opportunities whenever possible and to make use of additional studies related to the effectiveness of responsive teaching modalities. \u0000","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124069152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blended teaching (a combination of in-person and online classes) has been introduced to enhance the teaching and learning process amidst challenges and threats brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigated special education teachers’ attitude and readiness to implement blended learning modalities. The study used purposive sampling employing a total enumeration of 40 SPED teachers in 10 public SPED schools in Sarangani province. The results revealed that with all the indicators in teachers’ attitude towards blended teaching, an overall mean of 3.22 was obtained, which corresponds to an overall descriptive value of “Favorable’. This means that teachers portrayed positive attitudes and practices that prompted them to develop their knowledge and skills in the shift from traditional education to blended instruction. Overall, the relationship between teachers’ attitudes and the level of readiness toward blended teaching is “Highly Significant.” The correlation between the teachers’ attitude and the teachers’ level of readiness in six areas (i.e., Technical Literacy, Planning Blended Activities, Personalizing Instruction, Facilitating Student-Student Interaction, Facilitating Teacher-Student Interaction, Planning Blended Assessments) is “Highly Significant” while only one of the seven areas (i.e., Implementing Blended Assessments) is “Not Significant.
