The study aimed to know the advantages and disadvantages of using social media and on how and why does it affect the students' and academic performance and well-being. Explanatory case study design was utilized in the study. A questionnaire adapted from Portsmouth University and a semi-structured interview protocol was used for collecting data. Participants are purposively selected based on their exposure to social media, academic performance, and well-being. Qualitative analysis indicated that the use of social media is of advantage to students because it enhances communication, gives information, offers entertainment, and provides safety. However, it is disadvantageous since it stimulates isolation/lack of physical interaction, increases probability of misdeeds, decreases motivation and focus, contains toxic side, and may spread misinformation. Social media affects students' academic performance and well-being in many ways. It can decrease attention span, promote health deterioration, expand explanations on lessons, heighten stress, enhance proper communication and seeking assistance, encourage motivation and independence and trigger relationship and personal issues. These effects can be attributed to too much information and tasks, household responsibilities, lack of sleep, more screen time, lack of physical activities due to staying at home, access to unlimited information, procrastination, difficulties in learning, access to different media platforms, flexible schedule and more time in social media.

This study hopes to develop reliable and valid teacher-made tests. Tests for Grade 10 Mathematics in the first and second grading periods were content and face validated by three (3) experts. The content validation was done via congruency with the objectives per topic indicated as well as the level of cognitive domain set for the item in the Table of Specifications (TOS) based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. Then, the tests underwent item analysis and distractor analysis utilizing the Item Analyzer software. Results indicated that the tests items were congruent with the set objectives and levels of cognitive domain. These tests have KR 20 of 0.82 and 0.85 for the first and second grading periodical examinations, respectively. These were of average level of difficulty and with reasonable items. The first 38 items were retained, 14 items were revised and 8 items were rejected. Distractor analysis showed the distractors to be changed while revising an item. Also, it indicated that the stem be improved when distractors were plausible. The tests were valid and reliable hence, measure actual performance of the students.

Flipped Classroom tries to do away with the traditional mode of lecture to a more dynamic classroom experience of the students where presentation of the contents are done outside the classroom utilizing instructional videos. This study determined the effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom in the mathematics performance and anxiety of the Grade 7 students of Central Mindanao University Laboratory High School. Specifically, it aimed to answer the questions on the mathematics performance of the students when exposed to Flipped Classroom and to Non-Flipped Classroom before and after the experimentation and few days after the experimentation; on the mathematics anxiety of the students when exposed to Flipped Classroom and to Non-Flipped Classroom before and after the experimentation; on the difference in mathematics performance of the students when exposed to Fl...

It sought to determine the level of achievement of students when exposed to reciprocal learning environment (RLE) and to those exposed to nonreciprocal learning environment (nonRLE) in terms of their pretest, posttest and retention test scores; describe the level of anxiety in mathematics when exposed to RLE and those exposed to nonRLE; identify the difference between the achievement of the students when exposed to RLE and to those exposed to nonRLE in terms of their posttest and retention test scores; and lastly, compare the difference of the anxiety of students in mathematics when exposed to RLE and those exposed to nonRLE. The study utilized a quasiexperimental research design which was conducted at Magpet National High School, Poblacion, Magpet, North Cotabato. Students in Grade 8 were the research respondents of the study. The students who are exposed to RLE hav...

This study looked into the performance in mathematics problem solving among fourth year students of Central Mindanao University Laboratory High School and their relationship with students’ attitudes towards Mathematics. The attitudes measured were Attitude towards success in Math, Mother’s mathematics attitude, Father’s mathematics attitude, Motivation, Usefulness of Math, Teacher’s mathematics attitude, Confidence in learning math, and mathematics anxiety. It also investigated the metacognitive processes of students considering varying levels of their mathematics anxiety. It used the responses of 127 students. Of the 127, (nine) 9 were selected according to their mathematics anxiety levels to determine and compare their metacognitive processes. Results showed that students consider Mathematics as useful and they have a positive attitude towards success in Mathematics. The st...
