This study was conducted to assess the quality of the Activity-Project-Problem (APB) based curriculum, an integrated learning approach in teaching pre-engineering high school students, and its impact on student achievement and effectiveness in increasing students’ interest in pursuing STEM careers in college. The researcher utilized a descriptive-quantitative design to generate and analyze data. Respondents were 9th to 11th-grade students in the Charles Herbert Flowers High School pre-engineering program. The study revealed that the APB curriculum effectively increases students’ test scores from pretest to posttest and for students to score distinguished in the end-of-course (EOC) assessment. Moreover, the APB curriculum’s quality is high, and the students showed interest in pursuing STEM careers in college. But even if the curriculum was assessed as effective in general, the outcome of the test scores from pretest-to-posttest and EOC assessments must be improved. Overall, students are only moderately interested in pursuing STEM careers, which must be addressed. Some students showed concerns about the quality of the curriculum. These findings were the basis for formulating policy recommendations and curriculum enhancement strategies.","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130598194","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}

Six specific problems on the pre-post-test of students in Social Studies were measured. The one-shot time-series experimental design and the complete enumeration method were utilized with the mean, mean percentage, standard deviation, z-test, chi-square, and t-test to treat data findings. The pre-test bears a very low performance on the six skills tested. However, there is a notable variation and increase in mastery level of Grade XI students during the second and third quarter examinations. The post-test achievement of students is at the average level. There is a significant relationship between the achievement level of students and their attitude towards the use of GOs. The efforts of the teachers to use graphic organizers in teaching Social Science were fruitful. The shift in paradigm in teaching and learning Social Science has developed the meta-cognitive skills of a student and their higher-level thinking skills. It was recommended that the administrator, teachers, and parents strongly support students’ learning activities by collaboratively providing the much-needed materials in GO’s and developing students’ affective domain to make it tuned to the constructivist and learner-centered K-12 curriculum.","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"56 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114039933","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}

To aid the reliability of the data gathered, statistical tools were used frequency and weighted mean. Based on the findings, the teachers have issues with the students’ learning and the Parents’/Guardians’ support on the delay in passing the Learning Modules in Saint Michael College of Caraga. Moreover, the teachers are aware that the parents and guardians cannot fully attain their students’ learning needs, which is one of the reasons why there are delays in submitting the learning modules. It was recommended that the administration and teachers strengthen the monitoring and tracking of students’ progress. Revive the home visitation, conduct parent-teacher- school counselor conferences, and the referral process should be practiced by doing some meetings with the students and parents and conducting a program to continuously engage the teachers in further training to more teaching strategies during this modular learning modalities.","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120957175","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 problem studied in this research was the middle school content teachers’ insufficient understanding of ELs’ cultural background, needs, and interests. The literature review indicated middle school content teachers receive training or workshops based on the assigned subject taught and less on accommodating ELs. This qualitative case study aimed to explore middle school mainstream teachers’ preparations, perceptions, and experiences encountered while teaching ELs in one Maryland school district. Vygotsky’s (1978) sociocultural theory and the concept of the zone of proximal development framed the study. The research questions used to clarify the problem focused on the factors affecting ELs’ education, such as teachers’ preparation, perceptions, and experiences while teaching ELs in the mainstream classroom. Fifteen middle school content teachers took part in the study and answered the online questionnaire and interview questions in detail with interviews conducted one-on-one. Criterion sampling was used to identify the 15 teacher volunteers who completed online teacher questionnaires and one-on-one interviews. The data from two research instruments were cleaned, prepared, and analyzed, resulting in emergent themes. Based on the findings, there is a need for relevant professional development and in-service training for content teachers teaching ELs in the mainstream classroom. The need for greater collaboration among all stakeholders was suggested to support content teachers in more effectively instructing ELs.","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131842651","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}

Despite several objections, the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) accepted and implemented the flexible blended learning model, despite the risk of open courses due to the virus. Modular (Printed), Modular (Digital), Online, Educational TV, Radio-Based Instruction, Home Schooling, and Blended Learning are the many learning modes. Using the systematic review, the study aims to determine the main educational experiences that used the Modular Distance Learning approach to promote educational knowledge within the Higher Education stage. Modular Distance Learning is implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces where internet connection is only available for a few. The usage of Modules created by teachers with various tasks and learning activities based on fundamental learning abilities is known as modular distance learning. Thus, the main findings of the study revealed that the implementation of modular distance learning or distance education resulted in a significant improvement in students’ knowledge of the specific content covered, despite the fact that both technical and non-technical problems occur during their teaching in distance learning.","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131478466","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 respondents were 66 Grades 1 to 3 General Santos North District teachers, General Santos City Division. A Focus Group Discussion was conducted to determine issues and concerns relative to acceptability of Sinugbuanong Binisaya as the medium of instruction. Findings of the study revealed that the demographic percentage of respondents according to the number of years in teaching rarely indicate that most of the teachers teaching the MTB-MLE were used with the K to 12 curriculums in which Sinugbuanong Binisaya was used as the medium of instruction since the said curriculum was implemented for 6 years now. The acceptance of the teachers in the implementation of the language policy revealed that 100 percent of the teachers as the primary implementers of the MTB-MLE are not attained because of the transition period from the bilingual education to the mother-tongue based education as part of the k to 12 curriculum reform of the Department of Education. Some problems encountered by the teachers in implementing mother tongue - based instruction include absence of books written in mother tongue, lack of vocabulary, and multicultural/ multilingual differences affect teaching in MTB. Moreover, learners’ performance in English was affected by the implementation of the new K to 12 curriculums.","PeriodicalId":385918,"journal":{"name":"AIDE Interdisciplinary Research Journal","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128940871","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}
