This study utilized a descriptive research design and employed purposive sampling to gather 40 respondents. In assessing the word reading level and comprehension level of the ALS Learners, the Philippine-Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) Manual Tool was the foundation for this investigation, provided by the Department of Education. Furthermore, after the assessment of reading level and comprehension level, a follow-up survey questionnaire adapted from Tong and Ming-hao (2017) was distributed among the respondents to identify the barrier factors to their reading comprehension difficulty. As revealed by the study, the majority of respondents were male and were 19 years old. Furthermore, it is evident that ‘mispronunciation’ was the most common miscue committed by the A...

The study adopted the quasi-experimental approach with one group Post-test only design in Grade 7-section Orchid at Naval State University-Laboratory High School (NSU-LHS). The students' Post-test mean percentages in translating Statements into Algebraic expressions and vice versa increased while the mean error decreased. There is a significant difference between students' Pre-test and Post-test scores and students' errors in Translating Statements into Algebraic expressions and vice versa. The students agreed that the use of Group Guided Discovery Approach and Gamification was effective in translating Algebraic expression into Statement and vice versa with an average weighted mean of 4.29 and 4.46 respectively. Positive results were also derived from the Analysis of Feedback Evaluation sheet and reinforced qualitatively from the Interview through Focus Group Discussion.

This study would provide a solid evidence for curriculum developers, supervisors, and Mathematics teachers to ponder on the STEM students' difficulties which can influence their mathematical skills. Thus, the general purpose of this study was to determine the difficulties met prior to Functions as a prerequisite to Basic Calculus. Methods: This study utilized mixed quantitative and qualitative method. There were 58 participants who were included from this study. The students were given a validated researcher-made test questionnaire that underwent pilot testing, checking process and finalizing of the questions by the co-researchers from the public school teachers and the research adviser. After the test, the participants were interviewed. The transcripts underwent content analysis and peer debriefing. Result: The study reveals that the STEM students had a poor Language skill and Arithmetic skill. In a specific subskill in Language skill-understanding the objective-obtained 63.8% of the population while sub-skill in Arithmetic skill-Procedural knowledge-obtained 51.7%, thus considered as the critical point among the identified 4 skills. As the result of the content analysis of the students' response during their interview, the result shows a positive alignment of the result of the data analysis as students had a difficulty of understanding the objective and the difficulty of solving a problem which is in line with poor of language skills and Arithmetic skills respectively.

The main purpose of this study was to describe the lived experiences of the students about digital assessment in mathematics under modular distance learning.
This study utilized Qualitative Research Design, Hermeneutic Phenomenological method which involved 15 students.
There were four emerging categories and eventually formed nine major themes:(1) Educational Involvement (2) Learners Engagement (3) Support (4) Educational Tool Refinement. While the emerging major themes were 1) students experience digital assessment tool predicament in mathematics (2) difficulty grasping the topic through teachers’ instructional method (3) students have a proclivity to engage in academic dishonesty (4) procrastination and cramming are common among students during exams (5) learners have become passive to their own learning development (6) students' internet connections at home are inadequate (7) students are unable to focus during the exam as a result of the destructive environment (8) Digital Assessment tool commendation and new preference is evident among the students (9) Students have learned to appreciate the worth of their time and work.
