| Published: October 10, 2022
Abstract: Teachers, who are significant contributors to society\'s development, have a better personal finance plan when they have good financial knowledge. Unfortunately, many teachers are unable to handle their own finances (Surendar & Sarma, 2018). This descriptive -correlational research assessed the extent of financial prioritization of public junior high school teachers in the Schools Division of Ilocos Sur. It involved 39 public junior high school teachers in Tagudin District, SY 2019– 2020 utilizing a questionnaire to find the extent of their financial prioritization. The data collected were analyzed using frequency count and percentage distribution, mean, and Pearson r. Significant findings revealed that most of the teachers were 20-29 years old male married teachers in Teacher I position. Majority of the respondents’ source of income is from their salary with a net take home pay ranging from PhP 8,000.00 to PhP 12,999.00. Additionally, the respondents considered medical, education, transportation, and miscellaneous as high priority. On the other hand, housing, food, savings, purchase of investments, insurance, and paying of debts were considered as moderate priority while low priority was given to entertainment and leisure, and clothing. The profile of the respondents and the level of extent of financial prioritization have positive weak correlation. Further, there is a significant relationship between the respondent’s position and its extent of financial prioritization as reflected by the test of significance value of 0.03. As a result, the findings emphasized the necessity for a financial literacy program to assist instructors in improving their financial literacy.

Abstract: This research measured the pronunciation and intonation skills of the Grade 5 pupils of Cabaroan Elementary School, Cervantes District during the School Year 2019-2020 and evaluated the use of tongue twisters to improve these said skills. The researcher used the quasi-experimental design where thirty Grade 5 pupils attended as the subjects of the study. Further, it used teacher-made test to gather the requisite data. Moreover, the Rubrics for Pronunciation (Published by the International Literacy Association and Wiley) activity especially in tongue twisters. Furthermore, the study used mean and t-test to treat the gathered data. There was a satisfactory level of performance in pronunciation and intonation of the respondents during the two groups who have undergone the preliminary evaluation as evidenced by the mean value of 18.00. Consequently, the respondents had a satisfactory level of performance as shown by 23.87 mean value in the two groups who have undergone the post test. It could be prominent that the given mean values contrast wherein the mean value of the post test is higher than the two groups who have undergone pretest. The mean totals (5.87) of the respondents in the two groups who have undergone pretest and in the two groups who have undergone post test had a significant difference which rejected the null hypothesis. The findings highlighted the use of tongue twisters to improve the pronunciation and intonation of the pupils. Finally, to recommend, English teachers may use tongue twisters to help improve the pronunciation and intonation skills of their learners and language teachers may adopt the use of tongue twisters in teaching the mother-tongue and Filipino language as a strategy to improve their pronunciation and intonation skills.

| Published: October 10, 2022
Abstract: This study compared the impact of problem-based learning and discussion on improving the atomic structure understanding of Narvacan National Central High School Grade 8 students. Conversely, this study included 28 Grade 8 Euclid students as a control group exposed to the discussion method and 48 Grade 8 Sampaguita students as an experimental group exposed to problem-based learning. The researcher used purposive sampling to select the respondents and used the adapted questionnaire from science for 21st Century Learners to assess the students during the pre-test and the post-test. The findings were statistically analyzed using a t-test to determine the significant difference between the students\' pretest and post-test mean scores on atomic structure and gain ratio, which describes the students\' effort to improve their scores into perfect scores. Consequently, the study found that before the invention, students lacked an understanding of atomic structure. However, after utilizing the invention, it became clear that traditional and problem-based learning differ significantly in teaching atomic structure. This means that problem-based learning increased students\' atomic structure performance. Hence, the findings imply that Problem-based Learning may be utilized effectively in teaching science and other subjects. The study\'s findings suggested that teachers make science more interesting, engaging, and exciting for their students. Moreover, more research is required to identify interesting and relevant scientific education programs that might improve students’ academic performance.

| Published: October 10, 2022
Abstract: Electron configuration of atom is the depiction of the arrangement of electrons distributed among the orbital shells and sub shells. Manipulative electron Distribution Map is best applied to motor learning and requires dexterous management, or control of activities by means of cognition. The diagnostic assessment in General Chemistry I for SHS revealed that the lesson on Electron Configuration is difficult and/or the least mastered by the students, prompting the researchers to seek out new ways to help those who are falling behind in class. The two (2) sections of Grade 11 STEM at Sinait National High School, each with 35 students, were involved in this. The study was conducted using a Quasi-Experimental research design, with the mean and t-test for uncorrelated samples as statistical tools. As a result, Group A (x=6.90) has a higher gain in score with a descriptive rating of “Very Satisfactory” that is higher than Group B with a descriptive rating of “Satisfactory”. Thus, the researchers suggest that, teachers should employ manipulatives extensively in class management. When a kid has something to control, he or she is rarely in trouble.
