Abstract: The development of instructional materials is seen as a vital educational goal for addressing the needs of all students and ensuring quality education. As educational paradigms evolve, there is a growing emphasis on creating resources that engage, empower, and cater to the individualized learning of students. The study endeavored to develop and evaluate Modules in Precalculus for Grade 11 STEM students. The study employed the research and development (R&D) design and descriptive research method, utilizing the evaluation rating sheet for print resources adopted from the Department of Education. The passed-not passed method was used to determine the extent of validity of the developed modules. Five experts in the field of mathematics and language evaluated the learning material, and the data were analyzed using frequency count, mean, and summation. The newly developed learning material in Precalculus wraps up eleven (11) modules. The presentation of the topics embraces the 5E instructional model in achieving the targeted learning outcomes grounded on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). As a result, the Modules in Precalculus for Grade 11 STEM students exhibited remarkable substance and met the standards and requirements of the evaluation process. The developed modules augment the existing learning resources used for teaching the subject in Senior High School.

Abstract: This study aimed to develop and validate a Technostress scale for Filipino students using development and research method. Items in the scale were constructed through interviews with purposively selected tertiary students and were subjected to validation by experts. Results showed a high level of content and face validity. Exploratory Factor Analysis showed five misfits of the scale: abilities-demands of technology, abilities-demands of a school requirement, person-people, needs-supplies of technology, and needs-supplies of the school. In addition, Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that the model of the scale has an acceptable fit. The convergent and discriminant validity results revealed that the scale exhibits psychometric quality, and the items reliably measure their corresponding constructs. Based on the reliability index, the questionnaire could yield the same results even after multiple trials. Therefore, educators can use the developed technostress scale to diagnose students with problems adjusting to a technology-based learning environment.

Abstract: Numerous studies were carried out to investigate factors influencing students' mathematics achievement. It is, therefore, undeniable that a variety of factors influence how well students learn mathematics. As such, this study aimed to construct a path model on the factors influencing the mathematics achievement of Senior High School students. In particular, this study focuses on five subject components: Junior High School (JHS) math experience, JHS grade point average, attitudes toward mathematics, self-efficacy, and anxiety. The causal relationships and relative strengths of the direct and indirect relationships were explored for the sets of exogenous and endogenous variables using path analysis. The results unveiled an acceptable fit for the path model of the mathematics achievement in Senior High School. It indicated that students' mathematics achievement was influenced directly by JHS math general point average and mathematics anxiety; and indirectly by JHS math experience, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Moreover, the path model revealed that the JHS math grade point average exhibited the strongest influence on students' mathematics achievement. This suggests that a greater emphasis on developing basic mathematics skills and building a solid foundation at the Junior High School level leads to a better comprehension of higher mathematics.

Abstract: The study primarily focused on determining the extent of implementation of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum in the University of Northern Philippines. The research looked into the profile of 12th Grade STEM students including their academic performance. It also determined the extent of implementation of STEM curriculum. This study employed the descriptive-correlational research design in determining students’ profile and extent of the STEM curriculum implementation as it correlates to academic performance. It involved 189 student-respondents and five faculty advisers to answer the questionnaires. This study passed through the ethics review committee of the university. Data gathered were analyzed using frequency and percentage, weighted mean and simple correlational analysis. Results showed that majority of the students are female who attended public high school and obtained 85-89 general weighted average rating. The extent of STEM curriculum implementation is very great. There is a significant relationship of students’ sex and GWA to their academic performance. However, it showed that the type of Junior high school they graduated from and their academic performance have no significant relationship. Moreover, the extent of STEM curriculum implementation has no significant relationship with students’ academic performance. It is recommended that science and mathematics grades could be the basis for academic performance. It is also encouraged that science and mathematics teachers undergo training in curriculum planning and implementation.
