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.

It suggested that teachers actively integrate digital tools into their reading instruction. Also, teachers demonstrated a positive perception of the role of using digital tools. It recognized the effectiveness of reading lessons makes engaging and enhancing reading instruction. Regardless of that, the results were indicated that teachers face several challenges in using digital tools such as limited access to devices, unstable internet connection, and technical issues. Despite these challenges, teachers continue to adapt and utilized different teaching strategies to implement digital tools effectively in their classrooms. To be conclude, this study assumed that digital tools play a significant role in enhancing teaching reading. These findings may serve as a foundation for enhancing the integration of digital tools in elementary reading education with the local context.

The study explored the implementation of modules by science teachers in Cordova District Schools during S.Y 2025-2026, during the suspension of face-to-face classes caused by the disaster. The study sought to determine the strategies and level of implementation to determine whether the teacher really administered the module and module was really a tool in learning continuity during the class disruption. The study employed a descriptive approach, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The findings revealed that a high mean indicated that teachers administered the modules and optimized their efforts to deliver them to learners. However, during implementation, issues and concerns arose regarding the following: insufficient resources, difficulty in monitoring student progress, and students' struggles to understand and complete lessons independently. In conclusion, despite these challenges teachers demonstrated adaptability by applying effective coping mechanisms to sustain learning. The findings recommended that modular distance learning was not an effective approach for maintaining learning continuity, due to students' attitudes and interest in self-directed learning. There was a need to strengthen support systems for students and to improve instructional materials, such as engaging tasks built into ICT resources, to capture students' interest and motivation fully.

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.

This study focused on the professional and instructional needs of beginning science teachers in selected very large secondary schools in Lapu-Lapu City. It aimed to identify the demographic profile, instructional needs, personal and professional support needs, coping strategies, and proposed recommendations for beginning science teachers. The study used a descriptive research method with survey questionnaires administered to Teacher I science teachers with zero to three years of teaching experience. The findings revealed that most respondents were young female teachers with limited teaching experience who demonstrated very high needs in lesson planning, teaching strategies, laboratory resource utilization, mentoring, and classroom management. The results also showed that beginning science teachers experienced challenges related to workload, stress management, and balancing professional and personal responsibilities, emphasizing the importance of institutional support and continuous professional development. The study concluded that beginning science teachers require strong mentoring programs, adequate instructional resources, and sustained professional support to improve teaching effectiveness and well-being. It is recommended that schools and policymakers strengthen mentoring systems, provide continuous training opportunities, and enhance support programs for beginning science teachers.
