This study assessed the reading comprehension skills and academic performance in English of Grade 3 learners in selected public elementary schools in the Albuera District, Department of Education (DepEd), Schools Division of Leyte, Region VIII, during School Year 2025–2026, as a basis for developing interactive reading activities. A descriptive-quantitative research design was employed, involving six teachers and 90 learners from six public elementary schools. The learners were selected through simple random sampling. Data were gathered using a structured paper-and-pencil questionnaire covering respondents’ profiles, learners’ performance in five reading comprehension strategies, academic performance in reading comprehension, vocabulary, and storytelling, and the issues and concerns encountered in implementing reading comprehension activities. Frequency counts, percentages, and weighted means were used to analyze the data, together with a test of association to examine the relationships between instructional strategies and learners’ academic performance. The findings revealed that the strategies used in reading comprehension obtained an overall average weighted mean of 3.26, interpreted as Highly Effective. Story mapping and the use of photographs received the highest ratings, with weighted means of 3.30 each, followed by activating prior knowledge at 3.23 and monitoring and clarifying at 3.20. In terms of academic performance, learners demonstrated a lack of mastery in noting details (M = 2.20), decoding (M = 2.23), phonics (M = 2.40), vocabulary (M = 2.30), and storytelling (M = 2.40). The findings further revealed that monitoring and clarifying and the use of photographs had statistically significant associations with selected academic competencies, whereas activating prior knowledge and story mapping did not demonstrate significant associations with the measured competencies. The specific association coefficients and p-values were not available in the supplied results. These findings highlight the need to strengthen learners’ foundational reading skills, particularly identifying details, decoding words, applying phonics, developing vocabulary, and organizing narratives. Based on the findings, interactive reading activities are proposed for consideration and implementation by the concerned school officials, in collaboration with teachers, parents, and the DepEd Schools Division of Leyte, to address learners’ literacy needs and improve their reading comprehension and academic performance.
This study examined the reading skills of Grade 3 learners and their relationship with academic performance in English in selected public elementary schools in the Bantayan District, Schools Division of Cebu Province, during School Year 2026–2027. Specifically, it assessed learners’ proficiency in phonemic awareness, phonics, text recognition, vocabulary, and comprehension; described the profiles of the teacher and learner respondents; and determined whether a significant relationship existed between reading skills and academic performance in English. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design involving 100 respondents, comprising 96 Grade 3 learners, with 24 learners from each of four schools, and four teachers from Pooc, Sta. Fe Central, Vito, and Baigad Elementary Schools. Data were gathered through a modified survey questionnaire and informal interviews. Frequency counts, percentages, weighted means, standard deviations, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient were used to analyze the collected data. The findings revealed that 70 of the 96 Grade 3 learners (72.92%) demonstrated effective foundational reading skills, while the remaining 26 learners (27.08%) were identified as potentially requiring additional reading support, depending on the established assessment criteria. These results underscore the importance of sustaining effective reading instruction while addressing the needs of learners experiencing difficulties in foundational literacy. The study proposes augmented reading skills learning activities designed to strengthen learners’ reading proficiency, improve comprehension, and support the development of essential literacy competencies. The proposed activities may serve as a basis for differentiated instruction, targeted reading interventions, and continuous monitoring of learner progress. Furthermore, the study emphasizes collaboration among teachers, school administrators, and parents in creating supportive learning environments that promote reading development and improved academic performance in English.
This study examined the relationships among study habits, learning-style preferences, and academic performance in Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) among Grade 10 learners of Solano High School, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines, during School Year 2025–2026. Anchored in Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory and Biggs' Presage–Process–Product Model, the study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design involving 300 learners selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using an expert-validated, researcher-made questionnaire and official first-quarter MAPEH grades, with descriptive statistics and Pearson's product-moment correlation used for analysis. Findings revealed high levels of study habits (M = 3.01) and learning-style preferences (M = 3.06), with concentration and interest emerging as the strongest study-habit dimension and tactile learning as the most preferred modality. Academic performance yielded a mean grade of 86.58, with most respondents attaining outstanding or very satisfactory ratings. A significant moderate positive relationship was established between study habits and learning styles (r = 0.635, p < 0.001). However, study habits (r = 0.277, p < 0.001) and learning styles (r = 0.135, p = 0.019) demonstrated statistically significant but negligible positive relationships with academic performance. Visual and auditory preferences showed significant positive correlations with academic achievement, whereas tactile and kinesthetic preferences showed no significant relationships. The study concludes that study habits and learning preferences have limited associations with MAPEH performance, highlighting the need for improved study routines, diverse instructional strategies, and further investigation of other contributing factors. The research supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) and indirectly contributes to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). Its potential sustainability impact lies in strengthening educational practices, supporting evidence-based instructional improvement, and promoting long-term educational and institutional development.
Students' conceptual understanding of force is challenged by persistent difficulties in interpreting interactions, resultant forces, and changes in motion. This study examined the classroom implementation of a five-phase Experiential-Based Deep Learning (EBDL) instructional model designed to connect firsthand observation with reflection, evidence-based explanation, and transfer. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent pretest–posttest design involved 40 eighth-grade students at one Indonesian junior secondary school, with 20 students receiving EBDL and 20 receiving Direct Instruction. Conceptual understanding was assessed using five essay items on force; expert content ratings yielded an overall Aiken's V of 0.870 after recalculation. Available group-level posttest results favored the EBDL group (M = 85.85, SD = 5.51) over the control group (M = 81.30, SD = 7.00). The reported Mann–Whitney test indicated a between-group difference (U = 124.00, Z = −2.06, p = 0.039, r = 0.326). The model's distinctive instructional contribution is its explicit progression from discrepant experiences through reflective meaning-making and force-based reasoning to contextual application and transfer. However, aggregate posttest results do not establish which cognitive process benefited most, whether individual misconceptions were corrected, or the magnitude of pretest-to-posttest change. These findings support further testing of EBDL as a structured, context-sensitive alternative for junior secondary force instruction, with stronger item-level and implementation evidence required before wider causal or generalizable claims are made.
This classroom action research was motivated by the low learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 11 Pauh, Padang City, where only 31.03% of students (10 of 29) achieved the learning objective achievement criterion (KKTP) of 80. This study aimed to describe the lesson planning, the implementation, and the improvement of IPAS learning outcomes through the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The research involved 28 and was conducted in two cycles (two meetings in cycle I and one meeting in cycle II), each consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting, using qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through lesson plan assessment sheets, teacher and student activity observation sheets, and written tests, then analyzed using percentages, mean scores, and classical mastery. The lesson plan score increased from 77.78% to 86.11% in cycle I and reached 91.67% in cycle II. Teacher activity increased from 66.67% to 75.00% and 87.50%, while student activity increased from 62.50% to 75.00% and 87.50%. The mean knowledge score rose from 65.89 to 77.14 and 86.42, and classical mastery increased from 31.03% at baseline to 92.86% in cycle II, exceeding the 80% target. Attitude and skills scores reached 92.85 and 84.37. It is concluded that, in the context of this single-class action research, the implementation of PBL was associated with improved IPAS learning outcomes of fourth-grade students, although the findings cannot be generalised without a comparison group.
Allocation of educational resources affects the learning environment and equality of opportunity for students. Frontline teachers' views on the urban-rural disparity in educational resources for Chinese primary and secondary schools are investigated in this study. An exploratory comparative design was used, and based on questionnaire responses from 26 teachers, six were from urban schools and twenty were from rural or township schools. Teacher staffing and qualifications, school facilities, digital resources, curriculum implementation, professional development, family cooperation, funding and policy execution were also analysed. Therefore, the deficiencies in urban and rural areas cannot be confined to primary and secondary school facilities. Rural teachers reported more restrictions in specialist staffing, professional development, curriculum provision, digital resources, family support and the actual implementation of educational balancing policies. Teachers in both groups also listed the recruitment, training and retention of teachers as problems. Therefore, in addition to the supply of resources, schools need to have the ability to use and maintain these resources effectively for educational equity. Due to the small and unequal sample and the reliance on self-reported data, the findings should be interpreted as exploratory. Future research should use larger samples and combine teacher perspectives with student, school, and longitudinal data to further examine how resource allocation affects educational opportunities.
Mathematics achievement remains a major concern in Ghanaian senior high schools despite the increasing emphasis on effective classroom assessment and instructional quality. This study examined the relationship between formative assessment practices and perceived students’ mathematical achievement, while investigating the mediating role of cognitive activation-oriented instruction. The study adopted a positivist paradigm with a quantitative cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected from 320 Senior High School students selected through a multistage sampling procedure from two public senior high schools in Ghana. A structured questionnaire measured formative assessment practices, cognitive activation-oriented instruction, and perceived students’ mathematical achievement. Data were analysed using SPSS version 23 and AMOS version 23. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling were employed to test the measurement and structural models. The findings revealed that formative assessment practices significantly predicted perceived students’ mathematical achievement and were positively associated with cognitive activation-oriented instruction. Cognitive activation-oriented instruction was also positively associated with perceived students’ mathematical achievement and statistically mediated the relationship between formative assessment practices and perceived students’ mathematical achievement. The findings suggest that formative assessment practices and cognitive activation-oriented instruction are positively associated with students’ perceptions of their mathematical achievement.
The article aimed to explore learning styles, approaches and differentiated learning strategies in English language teaching process. We include the introduction of new foreign language learning approaches, strategies and styles from other sources, as well as disseminating and gathering strategy ideas from the learner´s peers. Different students are likely to approach the task of learning language in different ways. Some learners may instinctively fell that there is a benefit to studying the rules and patterns of a language, while others may be less inclined to formal study and prefer learning in more experiential manner, where they use the language to achieve tasks and goals. The extent of students’ achievement may be influenced by some factors, which one of them is learning style and approach. The experience and studies show that most of the students prefer ‘reflective’, ‘sensing’, ‘visual’, and ‘sequential’ learning styles, individualised (or personalised), self-directed learning, autonomy approach in English language learning. With an appropriate range of resources, materials and pedagogic support, where students would set their own language learning purposes and would be supported to reach these goals in ways which are effective, which are of real interest to them and which can co-exist with each student´s lifestyle, not just their learning style.
This study investigated asynchronous e-learning approach as determinants of students’ academic achievement in Word Processing in Colleges of Education in Southwest Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive research design. One research question and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the investigation. The population consisted of 1,360 students and 213 lecturers drawn from nine Colleges of Education in Southwest Nigeria. Data were collected using three instruments: the Word Processing Achievement Test (WPAT), Kuder-Richardson 21 (KR-21) was used to establish the stability of the achievement test items, which resulted in a reliability coefficient of 0.95. Students’ Questionnaire on Asynchronous E-learning Approach (SQAEA) (α = 0.81), and the Lecturers’ Questionnaire on Asynchronous E-learning Approach (LQAEA) (α = 0.77). The findings revealed that students’ academic achievement in Word Processing in Colleges of Education in Southwest Nigeria was high. However, the extent to which asynchronous e-learning was also low (x̄ = 2.41). The findings revealed an asynchronous e-learning had a significant positive contribution (β = 0.146, t = 3.127, p < 0.05). The findings also indicated a gender difference in achievement, with a mean score difference of 0.976. In conclusion, the study highlights the need for improved and more effective integration of e-learning approach, especially by strengthening asynchronous learning opportunities and reviewing the implementation of synchronous methods, in order to enhance students’ academic achievement in Word Processing. It was recommended among others that institutions should mandate the development and consistent use of asynchronous instructional materials.

Balancing employability skills development with core content is challenging for content‑heavy degrees like Physics but can be supported through adapted teaching methods and structured employability activities such as careers fairs, societies, and industrial placements. This study draws on quantitative and open‑text analysis of survey responses from 185 physics students across five UK universities to evaluate the collaborative initiative called the White Rose Industrial Physics Academy (WRIPA). Many students believed a Physics degree would enhance their career prospects and could clearly identify skills gained, particularly in problem‑solving, programming, and data analysis. Those completing industrial placements or internships reported fewer concerns about their preparedness for employment, suggesting both academic progression and work experience strengthen confidence in future careers. Nonetheless, students continued to face barriers when engaging with employers, frequently citing limited time, lack of feedback, and frustration during job applications.
تلفیق توسعه مهارتهای اشتغالپذیری با محتوای اصلی در رشتههایی با محتوای سنگین مانند فیزیک چالشبرانگیز است، اما میتواند از طریق روشهای تدریس سازگارشده و فعالیتهای ساختارمند اشتغالپذیری مانند نمایشگاههای شغلی، انجمنها و دورههای کارآموزی صنعتی حمایت شود. این مطالعه با بهرهگیری از تحلیل کمی و تحلیل متن باز پاسخهای پرسشنامه از ۱۸۵ دانشجوی فیزیک در پنج دانشگاه بریتانیا، ابتکار مشترک موسوم به White Rose Industrial Physics Academy (WRIPA) را ارزیابی میکند. بسیاری از دانشجویان معتقد بودند که مدرک فیزیک چشمانداز شغلی آنها را بهبود میبخشد و میتوانستند مهارتهای کسبشده، بهویژه در حل مسئله، برنامهنویسی و تحلیل داده را بهوضوح شناسایی کنند. افرادی که دورههای کارآموزی صنعتی یا کارورزی را گذرانده بودند، نگرانی کمتری درباره آمادگی برای اشتغال داشتند که نشان میدهد پیشرفت تحصیلی و تجربه کاری هر دو موجب تقویت اعتماد به نفس در مسیر شغلی آینده میشوند. با این حال، دانشجویان همچنان هنگام تعامل با کارفرمایان با موانعی مواجه بودند و اغلب به کمبود زمان، نبود بازخورد و احساس ناامیدی در فرآیند درخواست شغل اشاره میکردند.
Studying a long-running nationwide system of school inspections, we show how school choices and enrollment respond to new information about school quality. We use exogenous variation in the timing of school inspections around the school choice deadline to isolate the effect of information over and above underlying changes in school quality. We find that low- and higher-income parents respond similarly to new information. Conditional on household location, non-targeted information provision therefore does not increase school segregation by household income.
با مطالعه یک نظام بازرسی مدارس سراسری و بلندمدت، نشان میدهیم که انتخاب و ثبتنام در مدارس چگونه به اطلاعات جدید درباره کیفیت مدرسه واکنش نشان میدهد. با استفاده از تغییرات برونزا در زمانبندی بازرسی مدارس در حوالی مهلت انتخاب مدرسه، اثر اطلاعات را جدا از تغییرات اساسی در کیفیت مدرسه شناسایی میکنیم. یافتهها نشان میدهد که والدین با درآمد پایین و بالا به طور مشابه به اطلاعات جدید واکنش نشان میدهند. بنابراین، با فرض ثبات محل سکونت خانوار، ارائه اطلاعات غیرهدفمند منجر به افزایش جداسازی مدارس بر اساس درآمد خانوار نمیشود.
Individual learning styles are varying according to the tendency of each individual. An appropriate learning style could help students to achieve good academic record in any subject they learned. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between student achievement and learning style for technical and non technical subject. A total of 288 Diploma student enrolled in Electrical Engineering program participated in this study. Solomon Felder Learning Style Index was distributed to the participants and the Felder and Silverman model was used to interpret the data. Result showed that the electrical engineering students have an active type of learning style for the first dimension, the sensing for the second dimension, visual for the third dimension, and sequence for the fourth dimension. The result showed that there is no significant relationship between the dimensions of learning styles and academic achievement for Electrical Technology subject and only the second dimension has a significant relationship with academic achievement of the Polibriged subject. In conclusion, learning style is not the main factors to enhance students’ achievement, but it can be used to identify the tendency of learning styles possessed by students.
سبکهای یادگیری فردی بر اساس تمایل هر فرد متفاوت است. یک سبک یادگیری مناسب میتواند به دانشجویان کمک کند تا در هر موضوعی که میآموزند، به عملکرد تحصیلی خوبی دست یابند. بنابراین، هدف این پژوهش تعیین رابطه بین پیشرفت تحصیلی دانشجویان و سبک یادگیری برای دروس فنی و غیر فنی بود. در این مطالعه، مجموعاً ۲۸۸ دانشجوی مقطع کاردانی که در برنامه مهندسی برق ثبتنام کرده بودند، شرکت کردند. شاخص سبک یادگیری Solomon Felder بین شرکتکنندگان توزیع شد و مدل Felder and Silverman برای تفسیر دادهها به کار رفت. نتایج نشان داد که دانشجویان مهندسی برق در بُعد اول دارای سبک یادگیری فعال، در بُعد دوم سبک یادگیری حسی، در بُعد سوم سبک یادگیری بصری و در بُعد چهارم سبک یادگیری ترتیبی هستند. نتایج نشان داد که بین ابعاد سبکهای یادگیری و پیشرفت تحصیلی در درس فناوری برق رابطه معناداری وجود ندارد و تنها بُعد دوم با پیشرفت تحصیلی در درس Polibriged رابطه معناداری دارد. در نتیجه، سبک یادگیری عامل اصلی برای ارتقاء پیشرفت تحصیلی دانشجویان نیست، اما میتواند برای شناسایی گرایش سبکهای یادگیری دانشجویان مورد استفاده قرار گیرد.
