Historical Lesson Plan with Project Based Learning in Senior High School during Pandemic

The pandemic event that occurred in Indonesia affected all lines of community life, one of which was in the field of education. During the pandemic, learning in schools was carried out with distance learning with an online model (in the network). The Minister of Education and Culture has planned a policy, namely "Free Learning" with the aim of creating enjoyable learning. Freedom of learning which is meant is freedom in thinking, opening up broad opportunities for educators and students to innovate and improve the quality of learning independently. A new challenge for educators, especially for history teachers, is to create innovative and learner-focused learning designs. Designing an innovative and simple lesson plan must still give place to the character education process. This is answered by using a project-based learning model, in which this learning model provides broad opportunities for students to explore and innovate in the knowledge being learned. With this the goal of independent learning will be achieved for teachers and students, so that education in Indonesia will produce quality education

The development of game estrategia in the senior high school learning competencies: basis for digital intelligence (phase one)

This paper determined the significance of the identified learning competencies (LCs) in the Senior High School Curriculum Guide for successful learning amidst disruption. The study used a quasi-experimental research design with forty (40) respondents taken purposively for the First Quarter – First Semester of the Academic Year 2020 – 2021. The Cognitive Process Dimension was the basis to determine the significant difference of learning competencies (LC1, LC2, LC3, and LC4) in one-tailed and two-tailed at 0.05 degrees of freedom using the t-Test Paired Two Sample Means formula. Data revealed that the respondents’ initial scores on the Summative Assessment were unsuccessful in the Applied Subject. The subject teacher proposed an “insertion” in the actual instructions following DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015 through the development and application of Game Estrategia. The group who received an “insertion” revealed that the overall computed t value was -16.48, which was greater than the t critical value 1.68 one-tailed and 2.02 two-tailed at 0.05 level of significance, which means a significant difference between pretest and posttest in the Applied Subject. The study found out that the group performed very well in their posttest after giving them an “insertion.” Insistent with the Agency’s effort to deliver quality education, the concept of “insertion” through technology aid may improve the teaching-learning process for the identified learning competencies (LCs) in the Curriculum Guide of Secondary Public Schools. The study humbly recommended joint advocacies of the School Administrators, the Subject Teachers, and the Technical Working Group (TWG) to develop, enhance, and sustain Game Estrategia’s objectives in Basic Education. Aside from the modules regularly provided by the Secondary Public Schools, teachers can tap the promising benefits of today’s technology as alternatives to attain successful learning every day.

Metacognition in The Senior High School in One National High School in the Philippines

This study was a qualitative approach and used phenomenology and unstructured interview research methodologies to 551 Senior High School learners who received test instructions and achieved a hundred percent retrieval rate. For pilot testing, this research used the PHIL-IRI English Screening Test, where the computed reliability of the instrument used was 94% using Cronbach’s Alpha. The focus was English usage because it became our lingua franca and medium of instruction. The study aimed to understand the prevailing conditions of metacognition and its implication in Basic Education and to initiate possible “insertion” to achieve successful learning. Understanding the data on the varying difficulty of English core metacognition revealed that the strands which needed priority interventions were E and F (65%, 70%) and due for repeat testing. In contrast, Strands B, G, and H just passed (75%) the test, which also needed immediate interventions. Further, the interview revealed that the learner’s significant concerns when using English were shyness, bullying, low esteem, and difficulty understanding English instructions. In summary, this research proposed the following outputs beneficial to the whole school language community; the proposed objectives of retention policy, English core Strategic Intervention Materials (SIMs), and the Senior High School Reading Comprehension Learner’s Profile (SHS RCLP). Further, the SIMs English core metacognition encourages the other fields in Senior High School, e.g., core, applied, and specialized. The need for testing of effectiveness will check its contribution towards metacognition in Basic Education in the future.

Effects of Using Video Lessons in the Mathematics Achievement of Senior High School Learners

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of watching video lessons on the Mathematics Achievement of Senior High School learners in San Jose City National High School. Using the experimental design, the study monitored two comparative groups of learners. The Control Group and Experimental Group were two homogenous sections of Senior High School. In the experimental group, lessons were taught by watching video lessons from YouTube and the control group was taught using the traditional method in teaching. Pre-test scores reveal that the control group has a mean of 19.54 (Sd=6.171) while the experimental group reported a mean score of 18.45 (sd=6.577) which is a little higher. The experimental group of learners obtains a mean score of 42.17 (Sd=4.751) while the control group obtained a mean score of 36.20 (Sd=10.105). The result showed that the post-test scores of the experimental groups taught with video lessons are remarkably better as compared to those which were taught the traditional approach. The data in the pretest reveals that the computed p-value of 0.495 means that the hypothesis of no significant difference is accepted. There is no significant difference in the pretest scores of the class groups. Analysis using an independent sample t-test revealed a significant improvement in the posttest score of the experimental group t(50.224) = -3.107, p < .001. These findings suggest that watching video lessons from YouTube is effective and can be a possible approach to improving the mathematics achievement of SHS learners.

Implementing Eclectic Method for ELT through Distance Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic

This article argues that teaching English through distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic requires an appropriate teaching method. This is since English language teaching (ELT) is not only aimed at guiding learners to master language skills, but also to learn independently and have a positive attitude towards learning English. To achieve this goal, this article promotes the implementation of the eclectic method to ELT for Junior and Senior High School learners through distance learning. Through the library research method, this research discovers the concept of distance learning, the characteristics of the eclectic method and its application strategy. Five main strategies are proposed for applying eclectic method, namely providing meaningful learning activities, finding eclectic features in various language teaching methods, applying contextual learning, giving various assignments, and providing differentiated feedback. It is concluded that beside to mediate the various language teaching methods with their strengths and weaknesses, this method also becomes a vehicle to lead the learners to learn English language independently. In brief, the eclectic method is feasible for English language teaching through distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.
