USING THE REMEDIAL READING TOOL (RRT) TO IMPORVE THE READING LEVEL OPF THE GRADE 5 FRUSTRATION LEARNERS
Abstract:
This study was conducted to utilize Remedial Reading Tool (RRT) in improving the reading level of Grade 5 frustration learners of section MMP of Magtaking Elementary School, San Carlos City, Pangasinan for the SY 2019-2020. It employed the experimental design method of research. The researcher selected 2 sections with 30 learners. The researcher employed fish bowl technique for random sampling to determine which 2 sections were used in the study. Sections Grade 5 – MMP and Grade 5 – JCP were chosen after the random sampling. The researcher assigned Grade 5 – JCP as the control group and Grade 5 – MMP as the experimental group. The Control group were not exposed to any intervention while the experimental group utilized the Remedial Reading Tool as intervention. The study utilized the result of the classroom-based Phil-IRI as the instrument for gathering data. It found that the level of reading difficulties of the experimental group in word recognition and comprehension skills improves after the intervention. The same finding also implies to the control group, their reading difficulties improved but slightly lower than that of experimental group. It appears that Remedial Reading Tool (RRT) contributed much on the improvement of learners reading difficulties. It was recommended that in order to improve the reading level of frustration learners, there is a need to adopt and utilize a Remedial Reading Tool (RRT) to cater the needs of struggling readers who need to build necessary skills to reach a proficient level in reading.
Abstract:
There is a strong connection between vocabulary and reading comprehension. It was also reported that poor reading comprehension is interlinked to the learners’ performance in all subject areas. The present study wanted to improve the mathematical word-problem solving skills of the grade 6 learners through improving the learners’ vocabulary and reading comprehension through Vocabulary Word Cards. There were thirty-two (32) grade 6 learners who took part in the study. The learners were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. In the pre-test, it was revealed that the learners both in experimental and control group performed low in mathematical wordproblem solving skills. To improve their mathematical word-problem solving skills intervention took place. Posttest was administered to both group after the intervention to determine if there is an improvement in the learners’ mathematical word-problem solving skills. The present study revealed that learners under experimental group performed better than the learners under control group. Using t-test @ 0.05 level of significance it was discovered that learners under control group or the group taught through talk and chalk has a slight difference in their mathematical word-problem solving skills. On the contrary there is a significant difference in the respondents’ mathematical word-problem solving skills before and after the intervention. Keywords: mathematical problem-solving skill, grade 6 learners, Vocabulary Word Cards (VWC)

CANTEEN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF THE TEACHER IN CHARGE OF PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN SAN CARLOS CITY, PANGASINAN

The top three problems encountered in operating school canteen are the limited space to accommodate customers during recess or lunch break (f=19), limited food choices (f=16), and poor maintenance of physical facilities (f=8). Meanwhile, the most commonly encountered problems in complying the requirements are the canteen lacks permit from the accrediting agency (f=9), irregular posting of the operation results and annual financial statements on the bulletin board (f=5), and irregular collection of the school personnel’s debts (f=5). Based on the findings, this study concluded that majority of the school canteens are school managed, have 1-6 personnel, funded by the school, have kitchen utensils, have average monthly income up to 20,000 pesos, utilized their income for upgrading the canteen facilities, and use garbage segregation as waste management practice.

Also, the most common problems encountered in operating and managing the school canteen are limited space to accommodate customers during recess or lunch break and lack of permits from the accrediting agency. Then, a proposed action plan was formulated in order to enhance the operation and management of school canteens. It was recommended that the canteen managers my attend in-service training program related to canteen management, thereby update themselves on the latest trends and innovation to make their own school canteens more productive and attractive to varied customers. The canteen management may conduct a monthly maintenance of their facilities and post list of rules and regulations, such as self-busing, and proper disposal and segregation of garbage, which will help them improve the orderliness and cleanliness of the canteen. The school management may also implement a study about having a healthy food choice toward the awareness and knowledge in promoting a healthy eating habit among all students. The school canteen staffs may initiate feedback mechanism to continuously improve its services offered to entire school stakeholders.
