2nd SHS Students’ In-House Research Summit Theme: Responding to DepEd’s call for research excellence through student-teacher collaboration.

MESSAGE

JONATHAN S. DELA PEÑA, Ph.D., CESO VI Schools Division Superintendent In view of the importance of research especially in the change of the Philippine’s educational system, I am happy to note that this 2nd SHS Students’ In-House Research Summit is convened.

The theme chosen of “Responding to DepEd’s call for research excellence through studentteacher collaboration” is appropriate, considering the important roles of teachers in the constantly changing society. The present-day teachers should not only merely provide transmission of information but should also stimulate the process of teaching and learning. One way to do so is do research and share its findings.

My desire is for Tablon National High School to continue to provide an avenue to spark the desire of everyone to do research, share its findings and come up with important recommendations to improve educational processes.

Mabuhay!

Traversing Facebook Trends: Personal Uses and its Correlation for Classroom Purposes Abstract The internet penetration among the population in the Philippines is humongous. A big number of Facebook users is projected to be dominant from 2015 to 2021 (Statista, 2017). There is myriad of literature that established Facebook is both effective as a mobile social platform and as a learning tool for students. This study identified the uses of Facebook for social and educational purposes among randomly sampled 253 junior and senior high school students. Using a researcher-made questionnaire (Cronbach’s α=.89), a survey was conducted in one public high school in Cagayan de Oro City. Usage profiling accounted that 70% of the students do access Facebook with the use of smartphones in a minimum of one to three hours per day through free cellular data. Descriptive analyses showed that students have high extent of use of Facebook both for social and learning purposes. Correlation statistics revealed that there is significant association in their uses of Facebook for the two intentions. This infers that the more the students engage with his social circle through Facebook, the more he is likely to use Facebook as a learning tool. This consistency conforms to different related studies that supports the use of social media in classrooms. All these calls for a second look at existing policies on the limited use of cellphones in schools and maybe reconsider mobile social platforms as emerging learning tools.

An Oral History on the Political Activism of the Cagayanons during the Marcos Regime: 1969-1986 Abstract This paper is an oral history of the political activism in Cagayan de Oro City during the Marcos regime which covered the period 1969-1986. It provided the answers to the questions as to why were the Cagayanons drawn into political activism during Martial Law and what factors helped shape their social consciousness of the period. Oral history and snowball sampling (chain-referral sampling) were employed in the methodology. Results revealed that socio-economic condition in the late 1960s and 1970s helped shaped the social consciousness of the people and eventually led to activism. As one of the strongest oppositions of Marcos, the city projected an independent opposition primarily because of its social awareness campaigns by different academic institutions and ecumenical efforts of the churches. Although, Xavier University took the leadership in conscienticizing the students, there was no monopoly of social-action initiative as various academic institutions took their share in the resistance period. The city produced activists since the advent of Kabataang Makabayan (KM) in 1969 up to the founding of Nene Pimentel’s Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP), the first real anti-Marcos political party in 1980. The activism of the middle force was more effective than that of the Left and was instrumental to the EDSA People Power Revolution in 1986. However, the city during the Martial Law period was not considered as the laboratory of activism. Instead, the image of Cagayan de Oro during Martial Law period was more on the formation center of the activists due to the presence of academic institutions.

High School Teachers’ Assessment Practices with the Streamlined Policy Guidelines: Current Situation and Future Directions Abstract The Department of Education (DepEd) implemented the K to 12 basic education curriculum on school year 2012-2013. Imperative to this change of curricula are adjustments in assessment policies. This study investigated the current content knowledge and practices on classroom assessment of the junior and senior high school teachers in one secondary school in the Division of Cagayan de Oro City. Complete enumeration identified the teacher-respondents for this study.

A validated researcher-made questionnaire based on (1) DepEd Order No. 8, series 2015; (2) DepEd Order No. 36, series 2016; and (3) DepEd Order No. 55, series 2016 was used in a survey.

Descriptive analysis results that teachers have proficiency level lower than the planning standard in the basic and technical concepts on assessment of student learning. However, it was revealed in non-directive interviews that these teachers practice the rudiments of both traditional and authentic assessments. Acknowledging some constraints, they suggested activities that can be integrated in learning action cells or in the biennial in-service trainings to help them improve their classroom assessment practices. This research is posed to strengthen the implementation of the agency’s streamlined assessment policy guidelines and hopefully improve the quality of pedagogical practices among the teachers.

Integrating Kinesthetic Instructional Strategy in Teaching Power to Grade 8 Physics Students Abstract A teacher is bound to explore on various strategies to make learning more meaningful for the students. This study aims to integrate kinesthetic strategies in teaching science concepts and prove that learning is effective when the students move and experience it first-hand. The respondents of this study are Grade 8 students of Tablon National High School with the total of 145 students.

The study utilized the qualitative design specifically action research adapting the lesson study.

Three runs were considered in the implementation stage. The first run in the first section was a plain kinesthetic teaching strategy and it is done without lesson study. On the second run, the lesson study was introduced. The students performed the activity consecutively every after a group was done. Thus, time is a great deal during this run. Lastly, on the third run, an improved lesson plan was used based on the results of the second run. To negate the effect of time, the kinesthetic activity that was used was done simultaneously and tasking among members of the group was initiated. During the three runs, the scores of the students in pre-test increased significantly in the posttest. The increase of the scores in the third run is the highest. With the results, an improved lesson plan was crafted with the confidence that in this study, kinesthetic teaching strategy is effective in teaching power in Physics to Grade 8 students.

Dula-Dulaaan: Alternatibong Estratihiya Sa Pagtuturo Ng Maikling Kwento Abstract Bilang mga guro sa hinaharap, ninanais natin na magkaroon ng interaktibong talakayan ang ating klase upang mas matuto ang mga mag-aaral. Ninanais na magkaroon ng aktibong pagkatuto ang mga mag-aaral. Kaya ang mga mananaliksik ay nakabuo ng maaring makatulong upang maging mas interaktibo ang pagkatuto ng mga mag-aaral. Ang pag-aaral na ito ay tumatalakay sa paggamit ng dula-dulaan bilang isang alternatibong estratehiya sa pagtuturo sa mga mag-aaral sa mga panitikan partikular na sa maikling kwento. Ang mga instrumento ng pananaliksik na ginamit upang masagot ang mga ito ay ang pre-test, post-test, rubrik at sarbey. Ang mga respondente ng pag-aaral na ito ay dalawang seksyon mula sa ika-10 balita ng Tablon National High School. Ang seksyon A ay gumamit ng dula-dulaan sa pagtatalakay ng maikling kwento at ang seksyon B naman ay diskusyon.

Makikita mula sa mga datos na ang mga iskor ng Seksyon A ay nadagdagan o tumaas kumpara sa kanilang iskor mula sa pre-test, samantala, ang Seksyon B naman, makikita sa kanilang iskor sa post-test na hindi ito nagkakalayo sa mga iskor nila mula sa pre-test. Negatibo ang naging resulta ng post-test ng Seksyon B dahil makikita ang dalawang pagbabago nito, una, walang pagbabago ang mga iskor at pangalawa, bumaba ang kanilang iskor mula sa pre-test. Mula sa resultang ito, masasabing naging epektibo ang paggamit ng dula-dulaan sa pagtuturo ng maikling kwento dahilmas magkaroon ng pagtaas sa iskor ang seksyon na gumamit ng estratihiyang ito kumpara sa seksyon na diskuyon lamang ang ginamit.

Teaching Photosynthesis to Grade 9 Students Using Diagrams: A Lesson Study Abstract This paper sought to investigate the level of students’ performance in pre- and post-test; the trend of the average score of each class as the lesson plan evolved incorporating diagrams; and the performance of the students based on their learning style when active lesson participation was incorporated. A learning style test adapted from VARK Strategies (2016) was used to determine the learning styles of the students before the actual Lesson Study was conducted. A total of 105 Grade 9 students at Tablon National High School, Division of Cagayan de Oro City were chosen as respondents of the study. When the results of the post-test were compared, there is an observed upward trend in their level of performance. Furthermore, the use of diagrams yielded higher results among visual learners although it is also beneficial to all types of learners. With these results, the use of diagrams in teaching photosynthesis and active involvement of the students were found out to have contributed greatly in the efficiency of students’ learning. To further improve the lesson study, it is highly encouraged that active engagement of the students be utilized by letting them manipulate the diagrams used during the discussion.
