This study explored the Influence of School Heads Competence and Qualifications to the School Performance. This quantitative research utilized Descriptive-correlational and determined 48 School heads from Elementary and Secondary schools in Narra District, Narra, Palawan, Philippines. A self-completed questionnaire developed by the researchers was administered to gather the school heads’ profile and school’s performance. Mean, percentage, and standard deviation was used in analyzing the school heads’ profile and the school’s performance while the Pearson correlation was employed to test the relationship of the research’s variables. Results showed that in terms of the profile, majority of the respondents were graduates of bachelor’s degree with units in master’s program and almost half of them have international level of training while more than half were Principal III and have 4 to 7 years of practice as school head. In terms of their performance in the last three years, both in the years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, the school heads obtained a very satisfactory performance and outstanding performance in the year 2019-2020. Both in the school years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, the schools in Narra District obtained a maturing level. However, in the school year 2019-2020, the schools in Narra District got a rating, which was described as advanced level. It was found out also that there was no significant relationship between the school heads’ profile and the school performance was established. The result lead to recommendation to strengthen the school-based management areas where the schools obtained a maturing level while sustain the current level of practice in the SBM areas where they obtained an advanced level.

One of the salient features of the Senior High School curriculum is that every student in this recent generation is prepared for their future career and ready to face challenges. The success of this endeavor is believed to be measured by the graduates' alignment of the high school strand and the course they have to pursue in college. There is however a noticeable situation in which students enroll in college courses that are not associated with their track or strand of senior high school. One of the major reasons that some students lose interest in college is the gap between their high school experiences and their college expectations which is the subject of this study. To determine whether there was a mismatch between the enrolled strand of the students who graduated from SY 2017 – 2018 to SY 2018 – 2019 and their enrolled courses in college, descriptive research methodology was utilized. The mismatch rate is high between the strand of the learners during their senior high school and the course they enrolled in college. It is revealed that for the school year 2017-2018 the rate of mismatch is thirty-nine percent (39%) and thirty-one percent (31%) for the SY 2018-2019. Family pressure, accessibility of the program in the nearby university, and friends and peer pressure are the topmost among the reasons cited by students who did not take the college course align with their strand. Implementation of an enhanced career guidance program, policy brief, and intensified monitoring and evaluation are recommended.

Multimedia is increasingly being used in a number of formats (text, graphics, audio, animation, and video) to enhance human-computer interactions. The challenge is how to use the most successful presentation style which will boost efficiency. One of which is the use of a digital application namely Powtoon. The goal of this study was to define the teachers' perspective on developing Powtoon-based video media, the efficiency of developed Powtoon-based video media, and the efficacy of Powtoon based video media to improve learning outcomes in science teaching. A descriptive method of research was used to evaluate the perspective of the teachers in terms of learning resource, student engagement and inclusion of learning. A test of difference on the perspective of the teachers on the instructional video in terms of overall production, timing and content was tested. The result shows that there is no significant difference on their perspective in overall production and timing, however, in content, a significant difference was result. The study further imply that the use of video in education will improve the learning to the learners if it was utilized properly.

Research on student learning at school can be very useful for improving teaching and learning. Not all learning is the same. Sometimes, for a number of reasons, students avoid the hard work of deep learning and instead fall back a surface learning practice. Blaming students due to their poor performance does not encourage them to engage in their lessons because it only prevented us from applying teaching strategies which may have a positive effect on their learning. Being able to identify these practices allows astute and conscientious educators to diagnose problem in the organization of courses or curricula.
This study aimed to determine the learning approaches of students in Physics. Eighty senior high school students were used as the respondents. There were sets of questionnaires given to them to determine the different learning approaches of students in Physics.
Based on the gathered data, 70% of the populations have shown deep learning though, 30% of them showed surface learning. However, based on the tabulated data, the following skills were seen as weaknesses of students that need mastery. Their approaches to learning on these aspects are surface approach. [1] Interpretation of plotted graphs [2] Derivation of formulas [3] Sketching vector diagrams [4] Solving a variety of Physics problems.
Based on the findings of the study, the researcher has come up with the following recommendation: [1] there must be more time on plotting of graphs (position versus time and velocity versus time) and as much as possible, there will be more practice exercises on plotting of graphs with interpretations. [2] The teacher needs to show the derivations of general formulas in front of the class. He/she needs to give more sample problems where students could be challenged to derive equations for unknown quantities. This could be done during class discussions. [3] The teacher needs more patience and dedication to guide her students on how to draw vector diagrams. [4] The teacher needs to help students review their Algebra and Trigonometry as tools to understand Physics. Selected topics in algebra and Trigonometry should be reviewed during first week of school days. [5]The teacher needs to discuss students’ weaknesses in Mathematics collaboratively with the Mathematics Teachers as feedback to prepare students in Physics course.Keywords

Having to teach in the college department entails quality time and perseverance to do one’s work or task. It is in this line that teachers or instructors try to find more ways on how to uplift the teaching profession, in consideration of the benefits that their students can possibly get, and apply to their everyday dealings in life. Thus, the objective of this research is to be able to come up with a good workbook or manual, specifically designed for non-science college students that can hone them to become better individuals. This study was done purposely through the administration of the pre-test and post-test of a certain activity from the proposed manual, to be able to gauge well the deeper understanding of the target respondents in their daily dealings with the complexities of life. Science students in general do not have qualms or problems in dealing mostly with science manuals or workbooks, since the topics within are really in line with their field of study or respective courses. Thus, it’s about time that students who do not belong to the science courses be given a chance to be enlightened more about the sciences, specifically with those technological aspect that greatly affects man and the society. The results presented in tables can clearly tell us some reliable factors that can clearly assessed the presence of an updated manual, for easy understanding of technological factors in the society. The compilation of contents in the manual dates back from the development of science, citing the contributions of early scientists to the present ones. Another activity in the manual asks students to enumerate possible problems and solutions to understanding science, which embodies the science education in the Philippines. The alternative sources of energy was also pointed out and some thoughts on gene therapy was also included, and specific issues in science like agriculture , food and drugs were also cited. Higher technological matters were even included like robotics and nanotechnology, which can truly catch the attention of most students, and can make them assess critically of its implications to the society in general. More topics can still be added as time permits. Thus, having a good STS workbook or manual at hand can truly motivate and inspire students to read more, and act in accordance with what is necessarily implied in each activities or exercises.Keywords

Technology is a big part of our daily lives. Many of our daily tasks require the use of technology to make our lives efficient and productive, but the world becomes dependent on it. The world is evolving as a technological society where all information is readily available to the extent that all you need is just one click away, from communication, entertainment, production, infrastructure, security, marketing, innovation, and even education. The technology was introduced by children at an early stage, from learning the alphabet using the cellphone through learning how to talk can be made accessible through technology. There are various researches prove that integrating technology increases student achievements tremendously. Thus, the use of technology in teaching the students these days become a priority in public schools. However, there are researches stated that teachers have an inadequacy in Technological Knowledge (TK) and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK). Therefore, this research aims to assess the Public School Highschool Science Teachers' Technological Knowledge (TK) and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) and their willingness to attend a seminar for improvement of their Technological Knowledge (TK) and Technological-Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK). The mixed-method approach used for the study. The qualitative data collected through online google form with an 84.6% retrieval rate from the chosen respondents. The quantitative data collected with the Online TPACK Competencies Survey adopted by Dr. Rebusquillo and qualitative data were collected through Open-Ended Surveys and focus group discussion. A total of 121 Science Teachers comprise the sample chosen randomly. The results of the study show that the level of Technological Knowledge (TK) and Technological-Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) revealed that the Science Teachers are not confident when it comes to Technological-Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) and are fairly confident in Technological Knowledge (TK). Otherwise, the Science Teachers have a high willingness to attend a seminar to improve their Technological Knowledge (TK) and Technological-Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK). The study revealed that the problems encountered by most of the Science Teachers are lack of ability to identify learning strategies in technology-based instruction to meet the objectives based on the students' needs.

Misconceptions are the barriers in the learning of the students. Concepts can be identified in two kinds, namely abstract and concrete ones. Concrete ideas can provide students with direct experience on it while it is difficult for students to perceive abstract ideas due to indirect practices towards it. Teachers take part in a crucial part in the understanding of the students. Therefore, teachers must be mindful of the misconceptions and potential practice to work out the misconceptions. This research aims to identify the misconceptions of science teachers in Chemistry. The study was conducted with 54 science teachers in one of the cities in Metro Manila, Philippines. The mixed-method approach was chosen for the study wherein quantitative data was collected through online google form with 92% retrieval rate from the chosen respondents. A multiple-choice identification test consisting of questions from Earth Science, Chemistry, Physics and Biology adopted from the research of Biilent and Esra study. The 25 items each survey was pilot tested with the 35 science teachers in public schools in Pasig City, Philippines. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient was found to be .971 to test the coefficient of reliability or consistency of the questions in the survey while the qualitative data was collected from the focus group discussion. This research reveals that there are 19 misconceptions out of 25 questions identified in Chemistry. Furthermore, research shows that the number one source of the misconceptions of Science Teachers is the Electronic Media, followed by Textbooks, then the teachers and other sources of misconceptions are peers, parents and colleagues. The researcher suggested that there should be a series of seminars to correct the misconceptions of teachers, there should be a list of credible websites for the teachers’ reference and to provide rigorous seminars for the Secondary School Science Teachers.Keywords

This research study aims to evaluate appraisal systems in the nurses’ place of work, identifying the importance of the appraise and appraiser roles within the process to promote a positive and effective system. The difference in the perception of staff nurses, head nurses/nurse managers, and nurse supervisors in the appraisal system may pose difficulties, and inaccuracy of evaluating self, peers, and staff. Head nurses/nurse managers' high perception of performance appraisal signifies that they are the ones mostly conducting the process. There is clarity in the use of the standard tool for the appraisal process and this is clearly defined and discussed to all stakeholders. Performance appraisal must be the basis for salary increase and promotion. Future studies to include government hospital evaluation of the appraisal system, and the inclusion of patients’ evaluation in the appraisal system is also recommended.

The objective of this study is to understand the effect of digitization of school forms on the stress level and human relations of public secondary school teachers in fifth district of Manila. To answer the study questions, the researcher followed the descriptive correlational method. The sample of the study consisted of (31) teachers of the Manila Secondary Public School Teachers. The relationship between level of familiarity and level of human relations is found to be not significant with Sig. value = 0.188 at α = 0.05. The study shows the ANOVA results where the educational attainment is the grouping variable and the dependent variable is the stress level. It was revealed that there is no significant difference in the stress level when the teachers are grouped according to profile such as educational attainment reflective of the F value of 0.339 with the corresponding probability value of 0.715 which is greater than alpha 0.05. While there is no significant results noted, it is interesting to note that the teachers with master’s degree has the highest mean score when it comes to stress tolerance followed by with bachelor’s degree and doctorate’s degree with the mean value of 0.950 and 0.886 respectively. The study reveals the t-Test for Independent samples for Human Relations in the digitized school forms for male and female teachers. It can be gathered from the table that the male mean score of 3.100 and the female mean score of 3.092 got a computed t-value of 0.025 with the corresponding probability value of 0.981 which is greater than alpha 0.05 is interpreted not significant. Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted. People are all vulnerable to stress due to a lot of stressors that threatens our wellbeing. Going paperless and digitizing school forms will help save money and enhanced teachers productivity as well as promotion of human relations.
The study also recommended the need to hold training courses and workshops for secondary schools in order to deepen the concept of human relations.

Human Relations in an organization are of substantial value in any workplace. The way people relate to one another is one of the key factors that helps to easily comply with the required job need to be done. Planning office of BatStateU has its manual data management and the most pressing problem encountered is the late submission of reports coming from its client offices and observance of standard format on the processing as well as on the construction of data. Due to this, a follow up on each concerned office is personally done by the officer. All in one man, officer process all the required reports with the assistance of a part time secretary. Follow ups on concerned offices is professionally accepted, though expend an extra task to the officer. This study focus on evaluating the major concerns of the planning office, namely: prompt submission, accuracy and consistency of the report, observance of the standard format and ethical response of the client. Self-evaluation on the performance of the client offices was done to balance the concerns. Their recommendations were collated and triangulation was made concerning the different data source in time, space and person. Improvement of the protocol, and development of information system was suggested since Big Data is already involve in the process.Keywords

The education in the Philippines is declining even if it is the top most priority of the government. As education has many demands, necessary arrangements are required in different sectors are required to uplift its quality. School infrastructure, facilities, physical arrangements, instructional materials, school staffs, utility workers, health and security, teachers, school administrators and even the community plays a vital role towards the development of every child. The idea of ‘child-friendly school survey’ which was initiated and established by the UNICEF’s studies, was developed evaluation tool and includes all the variables stated above which the Department of Education adopted to evaluate the educational system of each school in the Philippines. This study tries to identify to what extent the students of Rizal Technological University, Boni Campus perceive their school as child-friendly. The mixed method approach was chosen for the study. The qualitative data was collected with ‘Online Child Friendly School Survey’ adopted from DepEd Order No. 44, s. 2015 entitled Guidelines on the Enhanced School Improvement Planning (SIP). A total of 125 students comprise the sample that is chosen randomly. The qualitative data were obtained from the comments and suggestions of the students regarding each parameter. Results revealed that the students evaluated the school as under moderately child-friendly school. The students evaluated that the school should prioritized the improvement of enrollment and competition among students while the students evaluated that the least priority among the entire dimension is the student’s achievement and success. It is recommended that the school should adopt the activities of Department Education like Early Registration Program, Oplan Kalusugan (OK) sa DepEd, School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP), National Drug Education Program, Adolescent Reproductive Health Education and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene.
