Effect of using think-pair-share cooperative learning strategy on nursing students' perception of their learning

The study purpose to examine the effect of using think-pair-share cooperative learning strategy on nursing students' perception of their learning. A quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design was used to examine if think- pair-share cooperative teaching strategy would improve learning perception measured by learning scale. This study took place with a sample of 90 student nurses enrolled in third year and taking the scholarly inquiry course in the second semester of academic year 2018-2019. According to the study results, although there are no significant results in the comparison with pre and posttest mean scores of learning perception scale, the findings indicate high statistically significant difference and positive moderate relationship among all categories of learning perception scale and Cooperative Learning Attitude. Moreover, the study participants have statistically significant different with high level of learning perceptions for all Learning Perceptions Categories Namely Integration of Learning, Understanding Content, and Increase in Skills. In conclusion, this study supports continued use of cooperative learning approach. Also, results pointed to the importance role of cooperative learning in nursing education and the need for further teaching and learning strategies which needs students to utilize teamwork to assist everyone for improving their learning and learning of others.

Mental Health Literacy among the Students and Employees of Mariano Marcos State University

Aim: To determine the Mental Health Literacy (MHL) of Mariano Marcos State University employees and students as to their ability to recognize a specific mental disorder, knowledge on the susceptibility of mental disorders, knowledge of self-treatments, knowledge of professional help available, knowledge on seeking mental health information, attitudes that promote recognition, and appropriate health-seeking behavior. Methods: This was a descriptive-comparative study which utilized Mental Health Literacy Scale tool adapted by Connor & Casey (2015) and Dias et al. (2018). The pilot tested survey questionnaire was administered to 490 students and 158 employees during the second semester of academic year 2020-2021. Descriptive statistics and T-test were used for analyses using p<0.05 as level of significance. Results: The results showed that the respondents’ MHL is sufficient as to all the variables. All variables comparing students’ and employees’ MHL were statistically not significant except for their knowledge on how to seek mental health information. There was also no significant statistical difference in all of the variables between teaching and non-teaching employees except for their ability to recognize a specific mental disorder. Majority of the respondents have enough knowledge and awareness to dispel most erroneous beliefs or stereotypes on individuals with mental health conditions, thus, they are more likely to approach those with mental health conditions appropriately and without stigma. Conclusion and Implications: Most of the respondents perceive that they have sufficient MHL. This is because of the increasing reach of mental health advocacies and campaigns especially in MMSU as well as other possible contributing factors such as personal experience, curricular offering, and specialization.

Students' Online Class Experiences Using Google Classroom Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic

The unprecedented occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic has challenged both teachers and students to adapt to the new mode of teaching and learning using varied online platforms. This study explored the students' online class experiences using Google classroom as the primary medium for asynchronous and synchronous online classes. The study used the mixed-method research approach that employed both the quantitative and qualitative design to examine the students' online class experience using Google classroom amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. The data were collected from the two Bachelor of Secondary Education major groups in English classes during the second semester of Academic Year 2020-2021. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics employing frequency count and percentage. Student-respondents find the Google classroom Very Helpful and Extremely Helpful in their online classes as it is convenient and provides them the leeway to do their schoolwork on their own time and at their pacing.

Library Services Utilization and Teacher Education Students ‘academic Performance in Selected State Universities in Region III, Philippines

This study primarily determined the utilization of various library services by teacher education students and their academic performance. The study covered the libraries of Central Luzon State University and Tarlac State University during the second semester of academic year 2018–2019. A survey questionnaire was utilized in gathering the needed data. Statistical analysis employed the use of the following: frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviation, Pearson r, and multiple linear regression. The majority of the teacher education students were found to have a very good grade point average from the previous semester. The father’s highest educational attainment showed a strong positive correlation with academic performance. On the contrary, the mother’s occupation and monthly family income had weak to moderate negative correlations. The perceived usefulness of using the library into the academic works by teacher education students revealed a moderate positive correlation. Library satisfaction was found to have a moderate positive correlation with students’ academic performance. Father’s educational attainment, utilization, and satisfaction with library services were found to be positive predictors of students’ academic performance. However, the mother’s occupation and monthly family income seemed not variable predictors of students’ academic performance in the context of library utilization.

EFFECT OF INQUIRY-BASED LESSONS ON STEM STUDENTS’ LEARNING COMPETENCIES ON LIMITS AND CONTINUITY

International test results, such as Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study Advanced, revealed that Filipino learners performed less well in Basic Calculus than other areas of Mathematics. This study developed inquiry-based lesson exemplars to enhance Grade 11 STEM students’ learning competencies in Basic Calculus, particularly on Limits and Continuity; and investigated the effect of the developed inquiry-based lesson exemplars on students’ learning competencies. A pre-experimental research design, specifically a single group pre-test and post test, was adopted for the study. A total of 98 grade 11 STEM students in the second semester of academic year 2018 – 2019 of a national high school in Philippines were tapped as study units. Ten inquiry-based lesson exemplars, adopting the 5E learning cycle, for 13 learning competencies on Limits and Continuity were developed and validated. Students’ competency on Limits and Continuity was measured by their pretest-posttest scores. The findings revealed that the developed inquiry-based lessons positively enhanced students’ mastery of Basic Calculus competencies on Limits and Continuity. These findings suggest that high school mathematics teachers may adopt/develop inquiry-based lessons or learning materials to improve their students’ performance.
