It sought to find out the extent of the manifestation of adaptive leadership skills of school heads. Further, it assessed the relationship of the school heads’ profile with the functional level of instructional engagement and the extent of manifestation of leadership skills and the relationship between the school heads’ level of instructional engagement and the extent of manifestation of adaptive leadership skills to propose a supervisory instructional plan. Meanwhile, the study used a descriptive research design that involved 235 school heads and 380 teachers from public elementary schools in the Schools Division of Batangas Province. Survey questionnaires, focus group discussions, and interviews were used as data-gathering tools. Results revealed that school heads are strongly acquainted with the teaching profession and leadership as manifested in their profile. They have high functional engagement in content knowledge and pedagogy, curriculum planning, assessment and reporting, and in learning environments. Further, no association was found between the respondents’ highest educational attainment, length of service and the functional level of instructional engagement, and the manifestation of leadership skills. Whereas, a number of related training attended showed a relationship between content knowledge and pedagogy same as true with the ICT literacy associated with curriculum planning, communication, and in human relations the rest of the components revealed no significant relationship.

The study involved 56 learners to gather data and utilized the descriptive research design. Based on the findings, learners experienced difficulties in Computer Programming specifically in one of the learning competencies during the second quarter which is Applying the basics of the java language. To address this problem, the researcher utilized chatbot technology and came up with Project TALA (Technology-based Activity and Learning Assistant) which provides interactive and immediate responses when prompted by learners and delivers the content of the learning activity sheet. It is an automated instructional material that can be accessed by learners through the messenger application. The learner should provide the lesson code to prompt TALA to deliver the lesson. There will be two options on how to go through the lesson; text/image format and video format. The content is based on the learning activity sheet for week six of the second quarter with the learning competency of applying the basics of the java language. TALA can also provide supplementary learning materials and additional examples of the lesson. Learners are expected to give their answers to the activity in real-time. After the implementation of Project TALA, it was revealed that there is an improvement in the performance of the learners as revealed by Pre-Test and Post-Test results.

People must make sense of these data to make informed decisions. Statistics and Probability is one of the learning areas in the country’s Senior High School (SHS) curriculum that immerses students in problem-solving and informed decision-making activities based on various data tools and methodologies. Both national and international examinations disclose that Filipino pupils did poorly in comparison to other students from other countries. Such an issue existed before the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic exacerbated the situation by causing significant learning loss as a result of school closures and the abrupt transition from traditional face-to-face classes to online, modular, and hybrid learning modes. This research designed, developed, and validated a Statistics and Probability readiness test for Senior High School students to use as a tool for teachers to assess students’ prior understanding of pre-requisite concepts and skills. The test has undergone identification of pre-requisite concepts and skills, test development, first pilot testing, and finalization of test items. In identifying the pre-requisite concepts and skills, one of the authors mapped out the contents and skills from the Junior High School Mathematics curriculum that are needed in understanding the contents in the subject. Through a questionnaire, fifteen validators were asked to determine which among these identified pre-requisite skills are needed. Only the prerequisites with at least 80% agreement formed part of the design and test development. The summary of the validators’ responses showed that the pre-requisite contents and skills vary from each SHS Statistics and Probability content. An initial 80-item test was developed and subjected to validity and reliability tests. Through the discriminatory and difficulty indices, this test was reduced to a 45-item test. The final form of the test can be used to measure a student’s proficiency level in the stated pre-requisite skills. It is composed of multiple-choice items distributed along different cognitive process dimensions such as remembering (11.11%), understanding (28.89%), applying (37.78%), and analyzing (22.22%). The result of the test can be used as the basis for remediation activities and or in developing learning materials to address these learning gaps.

This study determined the mediating effect of school climate on the relationship between classroom management of teachers and student connectedness of Senior High School students. It utilized quantitative non-experimental descriptive correlational research and applied the mediation analysis with 300 samples from Grade 12 students. It used a stratified random sampling technique. The statistical tools used in this study are Mean, Pearson R, and Path Analysis. The information was gathered from respondents using modified survey questionnaires which were subjected to content validity and reliability testing. The findings revealed that the manifestations of school climate, classroom management of teachers, and student connectedness of senior high school students are evident most of the time. Furthermore, there were significant interrelationships between these variables. The findings proved that the school climate on the relationship between classroom management of teachers and student connectedness of senior high school students has a partial mediation. Accordingly, the higher the teacher’s classroom management, the more connected the students are, and this positive relationship can be affected significantly by the mediating interventions of the school climate.

The study was conducted among 70 employees of DepEd Tanauan City during the implementation of ISO 9001. The respondents were grouped into either ISO process owners or non-ISO process owners. Using Difference-in-Differences Model (DID), this quantitative research focused on estimating the effect of people involved in the implementation of ISO 9001 on employee performance. Findings revealed that the level of job engagement in the implementation of ISO 9001 among employees of DepEd Tanauan City is evident using the Job Engagement Scale (JES) by Rich. More so, ISO process owners are invested to participate in people-involvement interventions in the implementation of ISO 9001. Between employee engagement and employee performance, people’s involvement in the implementation of ISO 9001 has a significant effect to work performances of DepEd Tanauan employees. The increase in performance rating can be attributed to their engagement in ISO 9001 since process owners have deliberate roles and functions in its implementation. They are exposed to different capability-building activities such as training, workshops, seminars, and focus group discussions that intensify their functional knowledge about quality management systems.

A certain amount of stress is unavoidable, and an appropriate level might serve as a challenge to increase instructors’ efficiency. A descriptive-correlational design was utilized in this study, which employs statistical data to ascertain the strength of a relationship between two or more variables. It determined the levels of teachers’ educational practice, stress factors, teaching performance, and their relationships. The research locale of the study was the four campuses of Davao De Oro State College (DDOSC). Results revealed that the level of educational practices of teachers is very high. This suggests the very high manifestation of communication, relationship, and organization to the greatest extent or almost always. Correspondingly, the level of the perceived stressors of the teachers is sometimes manifested in terms of demand, control, relationship, role, change, and support. On the other hand, teaching performance obtained an overall mean of 4.11, described as high. The Pearson correlation coefficient showed that educational practices are not statistically correlated with perceived stressors given its p-value which is above the set level of significance. Further, the perceived stressor is statistically not correlated with teaching performance.
