The Philippines faces challenges in reading comprehension, as evidenced by its frequent placement among the bottom 10 countries in international assessments. In the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) during 2022, the Philippines ranked 76th out of 81 nations, representing a modest improvement over its 2018 position. Nearly 91% of Filipino 10-year-olds have difficulty with reading comprehension, according to recent studies. This study investigated how non-tutors implemented the Phil- IRI program in their classrooms and the strategies they used to support struggling readers. A mixed-methods approach was undertaken, merging qualitative interviews with teachers about their experiences and quantitative analysis of student reading outcomes through statistical techniques. Results indicate that non-tutor instructors in the Cordova District expressed highly positive professional perceptions of Phil-IRI implementation, reflected by an Average Weighted Mean of 3.35 (Strongly Agree). To assist frustrated readers at their schools, activities primarily involved one-on-one or peer tutoring. The findings suggest that, to reduce student anxiety and encourage regular home-school communication, teachers can apply engaging, information-driven strategies such as gamifying daily exercises with word games and context-clue challenges. Moreover, school administrators and parents are encouraged to actively support, address the needs of, and guide frustrated learners.

Bachelor of Elementary Education

This study focused on the encountered difficulties and coping mechanisms of adult elementary learners in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in the Lapu-Lapu City Division, highlighting their educational experiences and challenges in continuing their studies. The study aimed to determine the difficulties encountered by adult elementary learners and identify the coping mechanisms they used to overcome these challenges while studying in ALS. A qualitative research design utilizing thematic content analysis was employed through semi-structured interviews with selected adult elementary learners in ALS. The findings revealed that the participants experienced financial difficulties, limited learning resources, and conflicts between personal responsibilities and academic tasks that affected their learning process. Despite these difficulties, the learners demonstrated resilience through effective time management, self-motivation, family support, and positive attitudes toward education, which enabled them to continue pursuing their studies. The study concluded that ALS serves as an important educational opportunity for adult learners by providing flexible learning experiences that support their educational goals despite existing challenges. It is recommended that ALS implementers strengthen academic support, provide sufficient learning materials, and develop programs that address the personal and educational needs of adult learners.

Bachelor of Elementary Education

The use of DepEd-produced instructional videos has significantly transformed mathematics instruction by enhancing students' comprehension of complex concepts through visual and auditory support. Despite this advantage of multimedia instruction, there is a lack of studies specifically examining teachers' actual experiences using these videos in their classes, especially at Mactan Elementary School. A significant gap in research regarding teachers' real-world experiences with these videos in classroom settings, particularly at Mactan Elementary School, despite the recognized benefits of multimedia instruction. This study explored math teachers' experiences through their opinions and perspectives, their teaching methods, the problems they encountered, and what they observed in their students' learning. Using a qualitative research design, selected teachers were approached to gather data and gain insights into their actual classroom experiences with DepEd videos. It is revealed that teachers were satisfied that using the videos helped them present math concepts more easily and attract students' attention. The teachers encountered problems with video pacing, alignment with the learning objectives, and video quality, prompting them to adjust their instruction and provide additional resources for their students. The study suggests ways to improve the design of teaching videos, better align videos with lesson content, and provide teachers with more training in using multimedia tools to promote student-centered math teaching.

This study examined the mentor–mentee relationship by analyzing the effects of pre- and post-conference experiences on teachers' preparedness, instructional performance, and professional growth during classroom observations in the Cordova District. Using a quantitative research design , data were collected from mentors and mentees through structured questionnaires with Likert-scale ratings. Statistical analyses, including frequency counts, percentages, mean scores, and inferential statistics, were employed to determine the significance of relationships and differences in participants' experiences. Findings revealed that preconferences significantly improved lesson planning, alignment of learning objectives with student needs, and instructional preparation, while post-conferences positively influenced reflective practice, feedback utilization, and teacher confidence. The study concludes that structured pre- and post-conference activities enhance teacher performance and strengthen the mentor–mentee relationship. Recommendations include institutionalizing regular conferences and providing mentor training to maximize professional growth.

Bachelor of Elementary Education

This study examined the motivational drives, experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms of elementary-level adult learners in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) during the school year 2025–2026. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected through survey questionnaires and thematic analysis. Findings revealed that learners demonstrated a generally positive level of motivation in completing academic tasks such as portfolio accomplishment, module submission, understanding lessons, performance tasks, attendance, and preparation for the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) test . Motivation was influenced by both intrinsic factors, such as personal growth and aspirations, and extrinsic factors, including family support and future opportunities. However, learners encountered significant challenges, including academic subject difficulty, financial constraints, time limitations, and emotional and psychological barriers . Despite these difficulties, learners employed effective coping mechanisms such as self- directed learning, persistence, family support, and goal-oriented behavior, which enabled them to continue their education . The study concluded that while adult ALS learners are motivated and resilient, they require continuous academic and psychosocial support. Strengthening support systems and improving instructional strategies are essential to enhance learner engagement, confidence, and successful completion of the ALS program.
