EFFECTIVENESS OF OBSERVE AND RELATE SELF - APPROACH (ORSA) IN ENHANCING THE GRAMMATICAL COMPETENCE: A

The study determined the effectiveness of Observation Response and Self-Approach (ORSA) in improving the grammatical competence of Grade 7 learners of Looc Integrated School. This study used the quasi- experimental design and pretest/ posttest questionnaire. ORSA was used as an approach to teach students grammar including WH questions, verb, and prepositions. This was limited to selected Grade 7 students with the lowest grammatical competence. The ORSA study was taken from the name of the author itself, a new way to assess students through positive assessments that explores the learner’s innate talents and skills and to reassure and to encourage the development of strength in students. It is also centered on the pedagogical approaches and emphasizes the use of positive assessment as to its unique feature in evaluating students’ performance utilizing non-threatening assessments that motivated the students to develop self-efficacy and eventually become an independent learner whose competencies acquired are internationally aligned and acceptable even during this new normal in the time of pandemic. The idea of ORSA can be anchored on Locke’s idea of reflection. Before applying the approaches, students got lower scores. After being exposed to the approaches, their mean scores increased. It can be implied that through the use of ORSA, the students think and question that they have learned through the persuasion of the teacher, they believed in themselves and in what they have learned. ORSA and K to 12, the two groups of student-participants have different levels of grammatical competence. As observed in the obtained means, students exposed to ORSA achieved higher grammatical competence as compared to students exposed to K to 12 teaching approach. This connotes that ORSA is proven effective in enhancing the grammatical competence of the students

Construcción de identidades genéricas desde la educación literaria en el último curso de Secundaria. Construction of gender identities from literary education in the last year of Secondary School

Este trabajo persigue favorecer una construcción crítica de las identidades genéricas desde la educación literaria en la adolescencia. Los objetivos específicos son el reconocimiento de la feminidad, la masculinidad, el amor y la sexualidad como construcciones culturales (para facilitar el desarrollo de modelos de género y conductas amorosas y sexuales lo más libres y reflexivas posible) y la identificación de ejemplos de la trampa de la mujer total (doble trabajo) y sus consecuencias y de la vinculación entre el tipo de relación de pareja que se entabla y la autoestima/el poder de los participantes. Tras la introducción teórica, presentamos una propuesta de club de lectura dirigida al último curso de Secundaria a partir de tres novelas que reflejan los tópicos y problemas aludidos y el cuestionario pretest-postest (seguimos un diseño cuasiexperimental) que los alumnos contestarían antes y después de su implementación para valorar el desarrollo de los objetivos fijados. This work supports a critical construction of generic identities in literary education for adolescents. One objective is the recognition of femininity, masculinity, love, and sexuality as cultural constructions that facilitate the development of gender models and loving and sexual behaviours as free and reflective as possible. A second objective is the identification of examples of the ‘total woman’ trap (double work) and its consequences. A third objective is to show the link betweenthe type of relationship established and the self-esteem and power of the participants. After the theoretical introduction, we present a proposal for a reading club for final year secondary school students with three novels that reflect these topics and issues and a pretest-posttest questionnaire (following a quasi-experimental design) for students to answer before and after implementation to assess development of the objectives.
