Analysis of Students’ Climate Change Learning Using the Affective Domain of Learning

Objective: To assess the influence of affective actions on senior high school students' perceptions and behaviors regarding climate change, including mitigation, adaptation, and policy support; and provide insights for educators, administrators, and policymakers on integrating affective learning strategies into climate change education to promote long-term engagement and action. Theoretical framework: This study is anchored on the Affective Domain of Learning by Krathwohl, Bloom, and Masia (1964). Method: This study utilizes a descriptive design using a survey instrument that was implemented to the selected Senior High School students in Region 11 and 12, Philippines. Results and conclusion: The gathered data suggest that senior high school students have a strong grasp of climate change, particularly emphasizing the affective aspect of learning. Implications of the research: The implication of this research is that senior high school students possess a strong understanding of climate change's affective aspects, suggesting the effectiveness of educational efforts in engaging students on this topic. Addressing the identified weak correlation between valuing and characterization could enhance climate change education by providing clearer guidance on integrating personal values with the development of individual philosophies, ultimately fostering comprehensive awareness and action among students.

A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODEL ON COMMUNICATIVE ABILITY OF STUDENTS IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

This study aimed to ascertain the most appropriate model for students communication abilities. Additionally, a significant relationship between the exogenous variables of teaching ability, classroom learning, and student engagement and the endogenous variable of communicative ability must be established. Additionally, this non-experimental and correlational research design and structural model identify the most appropriate model of communicative ability. As a result, a stratified random sampling technique was used to select 442 participants from senior high school students in Region XI public schools in the eleventh and twelfth grades. As a result, the following statistical techniques were used: mean, Pearson r, regression, and Structural Equation Model (SEM). Exogenous variables exhibit a significant correlation with endogenous variables, with the fifth model indicating the highest correlation. Exogenous variables, on the other hand, achieved the highest descriptive level. The endogenous variable acquired a descriptive level of highest motivation in language learning, which included the following: positive classroom, varied appreciation, personal recognition, and majority resilience; student engagement: learning preferences, school preferences, effort and persistence, extracurricular activities, and cognitive participation; and the endogenous variable acquired a descriptive level of highest motivation in language learning, which included the following: teaching methodology, teacher perspective, teacher role, the impact of communicative language teaching on communicative ability, ease, and acceptability communication, and classroom observation. KEYWORDS: education, teaching skills, classroom learning, student engagement, communicative skills, structural framework model, Philippines

EXPLORING THE STUDENTS' EXPERIENCE IN LEARNING LITERATURE: CHALLENGES OF CONTEXTUALIZATION

This qualitative-phenomenological study aimed to explore the lived experiences of the Senior High School students in region 11, particularly their learning experience in contextualizing literature. This inquiry was gleaned from Vygotsky, Brunner, and Dewey (1997). Employing the sampling technique, snowball sampling, five (5) students were selected for the in-depth interview. Another five (5) students were selected for the focus group discussion with ten (10) students from five regions’ schools. As to the participants’ lived experiences in learning literature, the following four (4) significant themes emerged: Enjoying the familiarity of content, participating in discussions, developing knowledge expansion, and using familiar examples as learning guides. For the students’ perspective in situations that influence the challenges in contextualization, the following five (5) majors emerged: Listening carefully to the teacher, participating actively during classwork, acquiring life-long lessons, giving participation opportunities for community-based programs, and employing teaching materials. Finally, the students’ perspectives on overcoming contextualization issues were organized into three (3) primary themes. Improved knowledge through contextualization, effectively employing contextualization and learning to study well. The findings of this study are essential for academic institutions to comprehend students’ contextualization experiences.

Character Development-based Physical Education Learning Model in Primary School

To foster good character through physical education, teachers need to have a conceptual framework that is used as a guideline in implementing the learning process that integrates character education in it. Therefore, this research aims at exploring and developing steps to foster good character in physical education learning that can be used as a guide for teachers by using 4D designs (Defining, Designing, Developing, and Disseminating). This research involved 200 primary school students in regency in West Java, Indonesia, and 30 physical education teachers from various regions in West Java, which was carried out using mixed-method research. This research resulted in several findings, including; 1) physical education teachers did not have a reference to the character learning model, so the characters developed were unclear, 2) there were nine characters that need to be developed in physical education learning in primary schools in West Java Province including respect, responsibility, caring, honest, fair, civilized, confident, togetherness, and religious, 3) to develop the nine characters, there were 10 steps that must be taken by the teacher in the learning process that is summarized in the INTEGRATED acronym namely Introduction, Narrative, Test/Pre-test, Education, Growth, Repetition, Action and Analysis, Training, Evaluation, and Doing, 4) the steps have been proven to grow nine characters in students in the learning process. The character was represented by 90% of students in every primary school in both urban and rural schools. Thus, to foster good character, the physical education learning process must implement the INTEGRATED Model in its learning.

Associations between School Food Environments, Body Mass Index and Dietary Intakes among Regional School Students in Victoria, Australia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

(1) Background: Childhood overweight and obesity is a significant and preventable problem worldwide. School environments have been suggested to be plausible targets for interventions seeking to improve the quality of children’s dietary intake. The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which the current characteristics of the school food environment were associated with primary school students’ dietary intake and Body Mass Index (BMI) z scores in a representative sample in regional Victoria. (2) Methods: This study included 53 schools, comprising a sample of 3,496 students in year levels two (aged 7–8 years), four (9–10 years) and six (11–12 years). Year four and six students completed dietary questionnaires. Principals from each school completed a survey on school food environment characteristics. Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between students’ dietary intake and school food environment scores, controlling for confounders such as socio-economic status, school size and sex. Food environment scores were also analysed against the odds of being healthy weight (defined as normal BMI z score). (3) Results: Mixed associations were found for the relationship between students’ dietary intake and food environment scores. Meeting the guidelines for vegetable intake was not associated with food environment scores, but students were more likely (OR: 1.68 95% CI 1.26, 2.24) to meet the guidelines if they attended a large school (>300 enrolments) and were female (OR: 1.28 95% CI: 1.02, 1.59). Healthy weight was not associated with school food environment scores, but being a healthy weight was significantly associated with less disadvantage (OR: 1.24 95% CI 1.05, 1.45). Conclusion: In this study, the measured characteristics of school food environments did not have strong associations with dietary intakes or BMI among students.
