Test Result

In educational system, just like in a classroom setting, there is a degree or sense of uncertainty or ambiguity on how teaching-learning process will take place. It is the duty and responsibility of the teacher to structure the classroom in maximizing students learning by engaging in all modalities such as hearing, visual, olfactory, kinesthetic and gustatory. Moreover, by bringing students together in the classroom to produce group interaction that facilitates learning in different individuals. I, the Researcher, had facilitated an active learning through the use of Mode of Response for Students Engagement (MORSE). Intervention was the use of personalized card, dyad, work cell group and random calling conducted twice a week for the duration of the 1st grading period. The 29 respondents from experimental group were subjected to MORSE and 29 respondents from control group were given traditional classroom engagement. The proponent sought to answer the following research questions: What was the effect on the academic performance of the students who were subjected to MORSE? Was there a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test result using the traditional method and of the MORSE method? Lastly, what was the implication of MORSE method in teaching Earth Science among grade 10 students? The collected data of pre-test and post-test results were gathered and treated using paired sample t-test of difference and mean. Sample paired t-test result showed that the computed t value of 7.45 is greater than the t critical value of 1.701 at level of significance of 0.05. There is significant difference on the post test result between the control group and experimental group. The Experimental group, who were subjected to MORSE techniques achieved higher post-test than the control group. Based from the analysis gathered, MORSE methods is highly effective as means of engaging students to actively participate and improve academic performance in Earth Science. Therefore, I, the proponent recommended the use of MORSE in classroom activities. Likewise, teachers can make use other MORSE techniques or devices to facilitate active learning in the classroom for whole class engagement.

Differentiation Of Instruction

The study analyzed the effectiveness of Contextualized Differentiated Instruction (CDI) in the teaching of Contemporary Issues, a Social Studies subject in Grade 10 with these of objectives by: (1) Determining its pre-post-test results; (2) Testing its significant mean difference; (3) Analyzing its learning competencies and identifying appropriate strategies; and (4) Formulating an enhanced CDI Model of Contextualized Teaching and Learning (CTL). A one group quasi-experimental design, using pretest-and-posttest, determined the respondents’ performance on Contemporary Issues. A significant difference in the pre-posttest demonstrated an increase of proficiency manifested by an increase in the mean scores and enhanced qualitative equivalents. An above proficiency level revealed in the posttest was attributed by the engagement of the respondents in the learning process using contextual differentiated learning activities. Matching the learning competencies with the three learning domains of Gardner’s multiple intelligences resulted in a substantial utilization of the interactive and prospective teaching strategies, except on the analytic teaching strategies that were found inadequate. Hence, the creation of the COVID-19 Model may juxtapose the essence of an enhanced CDI Model of CTL. The findings have social and practical value to support differentiation of instruction in the 21st century education.

Teachers Attitudes

Although there is a rich body of literature about the implementation of ICTs in foreign language learning, none has investigated the technological attitudes and digital skills of pre-service teachers thanks to the adoption of a Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology. This study analyses the attitudes and digital skills of pre-service teachers through the implementation of ICT-based projects in the EFL classroom. For this purpose, 120 teacher candidates at the University of Alicante (Spain) participated in this experiment. First, all students were administered a pretest to measure the degree of technological affinity and digital skills. Then, they were divided into smaller groups (cooperative learning) in order to design and create several ICT-based projects aimed at teaching English as a foreign language to children and young learners. All the participants later presented their projects and evaluated the results (peer-evaluation) from a technical and pedagogical perspective. Finally, they completed a post-test based on their self-perceived learning outcomes in relation to ICT integration. The results revealed significant learning gains in digital and higher-order thinking skills (create, analyse, evaluate). Teaching candidates show a positive attitude towards the integration of ICTs in the EFL classroom but demand better training as regards the adoption of new technologies, particularly given the current situation and the need for increased on-line teaching.
