Microscale chemistry is an approach to conducting chemistry experiments which can help overcome increased concerns about environmental pollution problems as well as rising laboratory costs. It is accomplished by using miniature labware and significantly reduced amounts of chemicals. The main goal of this study was to explore whether the use of microscale chemistry experiments can increase student’s understanding of chemistry concepts and improve attitude towards chemistry practical work. Quasi-experimental design without control group was used to determine from purposively selected class of 40 freshman students of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSE). The students worked in groups on eight microscale chemistry experiments in a period of 8 weeks. Pre and post-test were administered before and after the treatment. Results revealed that microscale approach significantly improved student chemistry academic performance. Students’ perception of microscale is positive. Findings showed that the microscale approach can increase understanding of chemistry concepts.Keywords

In this study, twenty randomly chosen Grade 2 pupils enrolled in San Pedro Elementary School for the academic year 2021-2022, along with their parents, participated in an eight-week action research project. Those pupils who were chosen fell on the frustration level wherein the result of Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) - Pretest results for those who were chosen served as the basis for intervention. It was done to help pupils improve their reading comprehension skills through parent-teacher collaboration, as well as to teach parents and teachers that collaboration is a vital part that deserves enough attention. The researchers employed a descriptive-correlational research method to see if collaboration between parents and teachers might help pupils improve their reading comprehension skills. The collected data was statistically examined using t-test for correlated samples. In light of the study's objectives, the following findings are provided and discussed: (1) It was found that the students' reading comprehension performance has improved based on the results of the pretest and posttest. Furthermore, (2) the results revealed a significant difference on the reading comprehension of the learners between before and after exposure to parent-teacher collaboration. Lastly, (3) it is recommended that parent-teacher collaboration be prioritized in Continuous Improvement Programs that concentrate on reading comprehension skills in the primary grades.Keywords
