The study devised a teacher-made test to identify the needs and difficulties of the students in English Plus and the results were utilized to revise and enrich the syllabus. The descriptive – evaluative method was employed in this research. A teacher-made test was administered to 200 students selected by random sample. Content analysis of the syllabi of the professors and instructors were used as basis in constructing the teacher-made test. The areas under the English Proficiency Test in the SSC Admission Test were also considered. Results of the study revealed that naming words, word groups and paragraph organization are areas with performance level (PL) of 0-49 and are considered as difficult while areas like vocabulary, modifiers and verbs with (PL) of 50-75 are considered as nearly difficult. These results are the basis of the revised and enriched syllabus. It is concluded that almost all competencies in the areas cited were all considered as needs and difficulties of the English Plus students. Thus, there is the need for the inclusion of these competencies in the syllabus and an outline of a teaching guide. Keywords - Teaching guide, English plus, syllabus
The study determined the acceptability and utilization issues of the developed learning guides (LG) in Field Study 5 (Learning Assessment Strategies) and Field Study 6 (On Becoming a Teacher). This paper utilized a descriptive research design using non-parametric and thematic analyses. The data were collected from two sets of respondents in two non-consecutive school years, using a survey questionnaire and an unstructured interview guide. Results showed that the LG for the two subjects were above acceptable in relation to the criteria on target competency, learning plan, assessment, and technical aspects. Moreover, utilization issues were identified for future improvement of the LGs. The study recommends that the Field Study Learning Guide (FSLG) be officially used by the College and by other Teacher Education Institutions (TEI) in the province.
This paper highlights the trust, respect, safety and security ratings of the community to the Philippine National Police (PNP) in the Province of Albay. It presents the sectoral ratings to PNP programs. The survey utilized a structured interview with 200 sample respondents from Albay coming from different sectors. Male respondents outnumbered female respondents. The majority of the respondents are 41-50 years old, at least high school graduates and are married. The respondents gave the highest net rating on respect, followed by net rating on trust and the lowest net rating on safety and security on the performance of the PNP. Moreover, a high net rating on commitment of support to the identified programs of the PNP was also attained from the respondents. The highest net rating of support is given to the PNP’s anti-illegal drugs program, followed by anti-terrorism, anti-riding in tandem and anti-illegal gambling programs. The ratings of the PNP obtained from the different sectors of the community may be explained by the respondents’ nature of work or professions. Moreover, recommendations given by most of the respondents are focused on safety and security. The negative comments from the respondents may be considered to improve the PNP as an organization.
<p>This study examined the flow of selected resources in Sorsogon City using the urban metabolism approach. The resources analyzed were water, energy, food, and construction materials. These were chosen using a toolkit provided by the United Nations Environment (formerly the United Nations Environment Programme), which funded the study. Primary data were gathered through key informant interviews and a focus group discussion with individuals knowledgeable on the four resources studied. Secondary data were obtained from the Sorsogon City Hall, other government offices, and private organizations. The documents and the responses of the study participants were used in the analysis. Findings showed that the Sorsogon City Water District’s production volume for the next 10 years is sufficient to meet the needs of the growing population. However, this does not consider the areas not serviced by the water utility—which is half of all the barangays in the city. Meanwhile, if the present population growth and energy utilization rate remains the same, Sorsogon City will need to increase its electricity and liquid fuel imports. This is because all power used in the city is imported. Similarly, if Sorsogon City does not adopt any changes in its rice production scheme (i.e., no change in annual yield and production area), it will need to increase imports to supply the growing demand. Likewise, since the city has no local source of construction materials, it will continue to be a net importer of steel, cement, sand, and aggregates. Based on these results, several recommendations were made by the researchers for the consideration of Sorsogon City officials.</p>
