The poor academic performance of students in the Marawi City Division on Measurement was evident in the conducted summative tests. This perennial problem needs to be addressed by the school district. One way that can help boost students’ conceptual understanding is the use of contextualized lessons. This approach enables the students to engage in the procedural process that would improve their problem-solving ability. The purpose of this study was to develop contextualized problem in Measurement in coming up with a Contextualized Lesson Plan in mathematics that would improve the academic performance of the Grade students in their achievement test. This study used the quasi-experimental design with qualitative support. There were significant improvements to the students which belonged to the Experimental Group than those students in the Control Group. Moreover, students perceived that contextualized lessons as relevant and comprehensive. Since students displayed positive responses on the activities and improved their performance in the achievement test, the researcher, therefore, recommended teachers may adopt the use of contextualized problem in teaching Measurements in the mathematics subject.

This study aimed to develop a webquest in teaching circulatory system using Google site for Grade VI pupils. The developed webquest was an instructional material designed to enhance pupil’s performance in engaging learning activities especially in science lessons based from the K-12 Science Curriculum. The developed webquest was evaluated and rated Excellent by the ICT Experts, In-Service Teachers and Pre-Service Teachers. The comments and suggestions were used to improve the developed webquest. The researchers also made use of the Flesh-Kencaid Readablity Test to determine the readability of the developed webquest and the results revealed that it is appropriate for Grade VI pupils.

This study investigated the teachers’ adherence to the use of ICT for classroom instruction and its impact on the students’ learning. One hundred twenty-five (125) student teachers from the College of Education accomplished the questionnaires. Student teachers were found to have strong adherence to the use of ICT in teaching. This analysis elucidated teacher educators’ access to ICT, their intensity of use, their training skills, and their confidence in using ICT. Pedagogical practices included the use of web-enhanced learning activities and a combination of Web 2.0 tools in teaching. Exploratory multiple regression analysis addressed the importance of these different factors at the level of the educator in the use of ICT in teaching practice. Results showed students’ academic performance generally improved with increased teachers’ training skills. The intensive use of ICT as a tool in teaching had posed a significant impact on the students’ learning. It was therefore recommended for teacher educators to sustain the use of ICT as an effective strategy and continue to access the skills-based approach in the integration of ICT in education.   Keywords - Academic Performance, ICT, Web 2.0 tools, Web- Enhanced Learning Activities, Pre-service Teachers, Pedagogical Practices

This study is an assessment and utilization of improvised warning device in developing students’ preparedness on disaster risk management. The study aimed to examine the performance of the respondents through learning activities. The improvised warning device was fully functional as rated by the experts. A sample of 36 Grade 8 students with 15 male and 21 females was used in this study. Working in teams, students make decision and share information about typhoon behavior and preparedness for disaster risk management. Results showed that the students developed their preparedness on disaster risk management, analysed behaviour of typhoons and potential risk and understand weather pattern. Thus, students learned to measure rainfall using the improvised warning device. Students also have learned the use of the device as all groups had shown exemplary performance. The students perceived that the activities made them become knowledgeable of disaster risk management. Based on the results of the study, the researcher recommends utilizing the improvised warning device in laboratory activity in teaching Typhoon: Awareness and Preparation
