Abstract
The use of instructional materials is an indispensable tool that enhances
qualitative teaching and learning especially at the primary level.
Instructional materials are used to facilitate comprehension of ideas in
the learners as well as ensure long term retention of ideas and topics
taught to pupils. This study examined the relevance of using
instructional materials in primary schools in Katsina State, Nigeria. It
employed survey design using cluster sampling technique. The
questionnaire was used to gather data for analysis, and statistical and
frequency tables were used to analyze the data gathered. The results
show that teachers and students alike have realized the effectiveness of
modern instructional materials in teaching and learning for the
attainment of set objectives in the basic primary education policy. It
also discovered that reluctance in the use of instructional materials will
hamper the achievement of qualitative primary education. The study
therefore suggests that there should be the provision of adequate and
up-to-date instructional materials to all primary schools in Katsina
State for effective teaching and learning process

Abstract
Some Schools are not performing as well as it has or should be. Whats
happening? Canit be remedied? Do you have to consider closing the
school? The researchers of the study aimed to determine a school
viability and sustainability as well as to look for ways to reinvigorate
the institution, assessing the school leadership and operations that
change the quality of education of the school for their future reference.
Accreditation is the tool used in the Philippines and around the world,
to monitor, assess, and evaluate the standards and quality of the
education a student receives at a school. A research has been conducted,
by six doctoral students of De La University-Manila on the case of
Victoria Heights School Manila as one of their outputs for the course on
Dissertation Writing. The school was undergoing improvements to
sustain its viability under a new management. The researchers assessed
the school using a modified accrediting tool. The benefits of such
process enabled the school to assess the quality of its education. Because
of the process, new students, returning students, and families of
students can trust the school they are paying for is valuable and worth
their time, money, and effort. The process of accreditation indicates
that a school meets the standards of quality set by the researchers, in
terms of: 1) Community Involvement; 2) Curriculum; 3) Faculty; 4)
Student Services; 5) Library; 6) Laboratory; 7) Vision, Mission and
Goals; 8) Physical Plant and Administration. The research examines
the assumption among professional educators that accreditation
processes play an important role in school improvement. In order to
examine this assumption, the researchers studied how a current
accreditation process designed for use by the Philippine.Accrediting
Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) was
implemented in many schools in the Philippines. The purpose of the

Abstract
This study analysed the choice of language by teenagers during
communication. The researcher sought to understand and identify how
institutions like school, family, and government affect or influence the
appreciation and perception of the younger generation regarding their
choice of language. In doing so, this study is guided by Gramscis notes
in Hegemony. Furthermore, the researcher utilized the concept
language shift and language dominance. This research study is
quantitative in nature.
Just like the famous line of our national hero, Jose Rizal, youth is the
fair hope of our motherland youth is also the fair hope of culture.
Subsequently, language and culture are intertwined with one another
and thus youth is the fore bearer of language. It is the youth who will
continue the blood line of language, for they will also pass on to the
next generation what they have learned. If language shift happen, at the
shallowest level, this may lead to the dying out of some words but in a
deeper analysis, this may lead to language death or worse language
extinction.

Abstract

At some point, all students see the same diagram in their English
classThe Story Mountain, The Plot Chart, etc. It looks like an
inverted check mark, and teachers tell students this is how every story
functions: exposition is followed by complications; there is a climax,
and then the denouement. Conflict drives the narrative. In this paper, I
would to propose alternative methods for teaching and discussing
stories with secondary school students and undergraduates. This plot
chart prioritizes conflict and aggression before all else. When creating a
curriculum, it is important to ask not only what you are teaching, but
also what students are learning. In considering this nuance, I have
noticed that my students have internalized the necessity for conflict as a
vital component in their own path to adulthood. They believe that they
need conflict to grow. This paper will draw on my masters thesis, in
which I analyzed the role of conflict in identity-forming rituals, as well
as observations from my own experiences teaching for the past three
years in an elite private school. In the 21st Century, we should expect
more from our students and offer alternatives to the base and simplistic
model provided by the plot chart. As citizens of a modern world, the
map to forming their own identities should be full of possibilities
beyond a single line to a single peak.

Abstract
History is perceived sometimes as one of the most boring subjects in the
tertiary level. Students see it as merely memorization of facts especially
events, dates and people. However, history is a very important subject.
As one of the social sciences, it teaches students about national identity
and most importantly to develop a deeper sense of nationalism. Without
the proper teaching of history, strong nations cannot be built.
This study aims to create an effective instructional guide that uses
constructivist method to be able to effectively teach history in the
tertiary level, and improve the students academic performance. Since
the paradigm used by education today focuses on the students, it is
timely to utilize constructivist methodology to encourage the students to
work actively in their learning. This study identified the most suited
methodologies in constructivism that could effectively bring a desirable
result to students and their history class experience.
2.Methods
The basis for the methodology is Descriptive Evaluative Method. The
three specific methods employed in this study are: survey, class
observation and focus group discussion. These aim to identify the
definite instructional methodologies applied by faculty members of
history. A research expert validated the instrument and underwent a
pre-test to avoid any difficulties in answering. The respondents who
participated in the completion of instruments mentioned above are the
15 faculty members (teaching history) from the University of the East,
Lyceum of the Philippines and University of Caloocan. The survey
questionnaire was composed of 20 selected methods of teachings divided
into 2 parts (9 traditional and 11 constructivist methods). The
instructors were supposed to choose if they apply the following

Abstract
Using the normative and evaluative types of survey under the
descriptive-correlative design, the study traced the kailians (a name to
refer to the listeners of radio kailian) in the seven municipalities of
ilocos sur, philippines. There were four (4) sample barangays in each
municipality with 10 respondents each for a total of 280 selected using
the right hand coverage technique. A self-made questionnaire,
interview and observation were administered to verify the analysis.
Findings reveal that the satisfied listeners are young to middle aged
adult housewives who finished secondary education with low monthly
income and support the radio station because it promotes the ilokano
culture and heritage. Program formats they prefer to listen to are: talk
shows, youth oriented (musical and magazine style), news and
commentaries. Topics they favor much are on spiritual aspect,
relationships, health, wellness, and nutrition. The stiff competition on
social/digital media, television and commercial radio stations are the
pressing problems besetting them. To further improve, they
recommended the addition of school-on-air focused on agriculture and
more news and commentary programs. Gender, age and occupation
have been found to have a bearing on the design of the radios program
format and contents.

Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is how we should rework on our
teaching strategies to ensure that students develop critical thinking
skills. In Mathematic generally students are required to use critical
thinking skills that enable them to evaluate, identify, and distinguish
between relevant and irrelevant information to solve a given math
problem by breaking apart the pieces of a problem in order to solve it.
Math is not about how much students can memorize procedures to
solve a few direct math problems but rather how they can relate their
learning math concepts and skills to solve non-routine math problems.
The questions is how can we lead our students to be a more rational and
disciplined thinker? The answer to the question is No one knows how?,
educators can help students to build their critical thinking to solve
unfamiliar math problems that required them to make reasonable
judgments that are logical by promoting the concept of use problem
solving and logic into activities during the class time and lab time.

ABSTRACT
The need on improving STEM teachers quality in their teaching and
learning activities have motivated SMARTLAB project to develop
STEM teacher training programs. On top of improving teachers
capacity in teaching STEM subjects, the training programs also aim at
equipping teachers with more capabilities to be creative and innovative
in attracting their students to be enjoyable, interested and having
fun in learning their STEM subjects. An evaluation was conducted to
the trainings to see whether the trainings have fulfilled their purposes
or can be said to be effective. The evaluation was performed based
on the Kirkpatrick Model using various data gathering instruments to
538 high school teachers and 13,557 selected students whose teachers
had participated in the SMARTLAB trainings. The evaluation results
reveal that the trainings have been effective up to the four levels of the
Kirkpatrick Model. Furthermore, the trainings have provided the
teachers with new insights to be creative in developing teaching and
learning aids, which show benefits as well in improving students
interest in STEM.
