The existence of COVID-19 pandemic brought extraordinary challenges to the stakeholders, teachers, parents, and students. Thus, the researcher believed that there is an effect of teaching-learning process in new normal education to students’ performance most especially using modular type of learning in Mathematics. With this, the study sought to determine the perception of the students regarding modular distance learning approach (MDLA) in Mathematics, identify the challenges of the students, examine the effect of MDLA to academic performance of students in Mathematics, determine the level of academic performance of students, determine the significant difference on perceptions when they grouped according to their gender and age, and determine the relationship of students’ perceptions regarding MDLA to their academic performance in Mathematics. The descriptive research design was utilized in this study. The researcher gathered one hundred seventy eight (178) grade 11 STEM students currently enrolled in MSU-Sulu Senior High School through the use of purposive random sampling. The survey questionnaire was applied in the study. Mean, frequency counts and percentage, t-test for independent samples, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and person product-moment correlation were used to analyze and interpret the data. Based on the result, the study revealed that students’ perceptions agreed on using modular distance learning approach (MDLA). It means the students had positive perceptions regarding MDLA in Mathematics. The study also revealed that students agreed on using modular distance learning approach (MDLA) in Math have little challenges. It had also a positive effect to students’ performance in which students performed very satisfactory in Mathematics which means they had good quality performance. However, the study also revealed that it has no significant difference on their perceptions when they are grouped by gender and age which means the students had the same perceptions. Moreover, the findings revealed that there is no enough evidence to conclude that there is significant relationship of the students’ perceptions to the academic performance of the STEM grade 11 students using the new method of teaching modular distance learning approach (MDLA) amid COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the researcher concluded that the academic performances of STEM students were not affected by their perceptions in MDLA. This means that the quality of performance did not depend on their perceptions. And the researcher also concluded that this approach helped students to improve their math performance. Since it proved that this approach improved the mathematical understanding and helped the students to have good performance then the researcher recommended that MDLA must be continued in face-to-face instruction and highly recommended to use modules. Teachers guided those who need special attention and need to prepare easy type of modules in Mathematics to understand well. Any member of the family can help to guide and serve as para-teachers. Trainings, workshops, and seminars should be provided to the teachers to improve themselves and academic performances of the students.

This paper examined the level of strand specificity and perceived effectiveness of language activities in the Senior High School English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP) instruction. Specifically, it determined if a difference exists in the level of strand specificity and perceived effectiveness of language activities and if there is a relationship between the two variables. Adhering to descriptive-comparative and correlational research designs, this study used a researcher-made questionnaire conducted to 79 Grade 11 Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students. The findings revealed a high level of strand specificity and perceived effectiveness of EAPP language activities, both when taken as a whole and grouped as oral or visual. Furthermore, no significant difference exists both between the level of strand specificity of oral and visual language activities and their perceived effectiveness. Finally, strand specificity and perceived effectiveness have a moderately positive significant relationship.

Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) of instruction had become an option of schools, parents, and learners to access education. Despite its implementation for several years, research on its delivery and students’ academic performance was not endeavored. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the relationship of Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) program and performance of the students. The respondents of the study were 30 students from nine elementary schools in the Division of Digos, Davao del Sur. Results showed that most of the respondents enrolled in the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) were male, at age 11, and were laborers. Most of them were low performers. The respondents rated the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) implementation as moderate. It further revealed that there was no significant difference in the level of implementation of Alternative Delivery Mode in terms of gender and age but it showed significant relationship between the level of implementation of the program and the performance of the students. Intensification of Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) was recommended. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0720/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of modular learning among senior high school strands and investigate the influence of students’ demographic profiles on their academic performances. Using One Way ANOVA, results showed a significant difference in the test scores obtained from the different strands. Results with Tukey HSD revealed that ABM performed best under modular learning, followed by STEM, GAS, ATS, and EIM, respectively. Pearson’s r revealed a significant correlation between student’s sex, monthly income, and parents’ employment status to students’ academic performance. Furthermore, the z test for two means determined that there was a significant difference in the scores of males and females. From these results, the researcher suggests that teachers handling TVL tracks must exert extra effort in delivering their mathematics lessons to close the gap in academic performance with the students from academic tracks.

The reading comprehension is a basic requirement when the students enter in the universities or colleges or decide to work in the industry. Therefore, it is necessary for the teachers to give as many opportunities as possible by providing them with wide range of effective and useful materials in reading as well as to develop students reading habit and enhance their reading techniques. Students nowadays are observed having a great dilemma when it comes to comprehending a text. Reading comprehension is said to be the heart and goal of reading since the purpose of it is to gather meaning from the text. A good reader must always see to it that reading materials is properly understood. Most students can easily read a text but cannot comprehend its meaning. The study assesses the levels of reading comprehension of grade 11 General Academic Strand Students of Buting Senior High School towards the development of K-12 Context Appropriate Instructional Tool. This study sought to answer the following questions: What are the students reading profile? What are the levels of reading comprehension the respondents? Is there significant difference on the levels of reading comprehension of the two sections? And What K-12 instructional toolcan be proposed? The data was calculated using simple statistical tool of percentage, weighted mean and T-test. Students reading profile reveals that they read few times a week with 11-20 minutes reading time, read only one to five books during free time and they use electronic sources when reading. Students sometimes prefer to read the materials they want to read. With regards to reading techniques, they sometime make predictions, guessesand set goals when reading, however, students rarely summarize the story. There is no significant difference on students preference in reading habit and reading techniques between the two sections. The results of readingcomprehension levels:70% are outstanding in literal level 55% are satisfactory in inferential level and 42% are fair in critical-evaluative level. There is no significant difference on the levels of Reading Comprehension between the two sections. The study recommends instructional tools must be constructed which will be beneficial to the students with low levels of reading comprehension.

Senior High School students are further uncovered to numerous shapes of psychological trouble (i.e. enthusiastic, social and scholastic issues) that can lead to passionate precariousness and sadness (Peterson, 2002). With this situation, guidance services are regarded vital. This study seeks to investigate among senior high school students on their attitude towards psychological help and their coping behavior. The study used the descriptive survey method among the Grade-11 and 12 students in one of the Universities in Cagayan de Oro City. Finding of the study revealed that Grade 11 and Grade 12 respondents were mostly 18 years of age and dominated by males. STEM strand was the biggest in group and most respondents came from the Public schools. Of the ATSPPHS four factor measurements, Factor-3 Interpersonal Openness got the highest mean value. Factor-4 Confidence in Mental Health Professional got the lowest mean value. Thus, the Grade -11 and 12 respondents have slight tendency and somehow positive attitude to seek professional and psychological help when they are confronted with problems and issues in life. Grade-11 coping response was through listening to music while the Grade-12 students’ coping response would to apologize to people whom they have in conflict with. Moreover, the result showed no significant difference on the respondents’ attitudes toward psychological help based on the four factors of ATSPPHC. However, there was a significant difference on students’ attitude sunder HUMMS and GAS strands toward psychological help particularly on factors two and three namely: Tolerance of Stigma Associated with Psychological Help and Interpersonal Openness respectively. The study revealed that there was no significant difference on the respondents’ coping behavior and attitude towards   psychological help. It is imperative to conclude that there is a strong need to promote more awareness on the guidance related programs to encourage more Grade 11 and 12 students to trust and submit themselves for counseling whenever they face personal problems and issues in life. It therefore recommended the following: Develop a program that will address the student’s attitude and coping behavior toward seeking psychological help; Enrich the general guidance services program of the school; School personnel, teachers and counselors must undergo enrichment trainings, seminars to better understand why some students display high anxiety, fear, and depression in the campus.

The Philippines recently adopted the K to 12 program in basic education. Under this program, students can choose their track and strand relative to their interests or career choices when they reach senior high school. However, issues surfaced when the K to 12 graduates were admitted to the college courses not aligned with the strand they have completed. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the difference in the academic self-regulated learning and performance of the STEM (Science and Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and non-STEM graduates in senior high school among freshmen nursing students in a city-subsidized college in the Philippines. The Academic Self-Regulation Learning Scale and grades of students in the first semester were used and analyzed in this study. Results showed that there was a significant difference in the academic self-regulated learning (p=0.045) and academic performance (p=0.000) of freshmen nursing students when grouped according to their senior high school strand.  The STEM graduates had significantly higher academic self-regulated learning and academic performance than the non-STEM completers. Unfortunately, no significant relationship was established between academic self-regulated learning and academic performance (p=0.559). Students who are graduates of the STEM strand from senior high school appear to be better prepared to take up the nursing course. Colleges of nursing may consider the academic strand of students in senior high school when admitting students in the nursing program.
