Abstract: Participation of stakeholders, and consultation of citizens are nowadays a key element in policy decision making.  It is generally recognized as the main indicator of good governance.  Active involvement in the decision-making process was never a privilege of a closed circle, an “elite” of civil servants and professional politicians in the community of Gosoon. Consultation of social partners, socio-economic organizations and other partners in the community is an old tradition and what is included today is the participation of student leaders in decision making process. Stakeholders and citizens no longer accept to be the subject of policy without a certain degree of involvement and consultation. They want to make their voice heard and policy makers have to listen.

An experimental research design was used in the study to determine the involvement of stakeholders in school-based programs. The questionnaire was the main tool used to determine the involvement of the stakeholders in school – based programs based on the PESTEL framework. It was submitted to the principal and a planning officer for content validation. Some items were refined based on their comments and suggestions. The questionnaire was tried out to the stakeholders of another barangay for its reliability testing using the test-retest method. A focus group discussion was conducted for the qualitative portion where the stakeholders were interviewed on their values and beliefs that helped in the implementation of the school – based projects.

The overall mean which means that stakeholders have “high” participation level in the school -based programs. The indicator with the highest mean of 3.49 is on political factors; the lowest mean of 3.38 is on technological factors.

It further shows that the stakeholders are highly involved in political aspect which implies that they are aware of the issues that are related to education. On the other hand, they fall short on technological aspect but this is not an issue because still learners are given ample time to use the computers for easy access of information for their assignments, projects, etc. This also implies that stakeholders are politically inclined and aware of the duties and responsibilities as stakeholders.

Keywords: Stakeholder’s Involvement.

Abstract: Educational psychology has always directed research toward improving student learning and development while needing to take student individuality into account. This study explores the influence that emotional wellness has on student success. Student success in the context of this study was considered to be a combination of academic achievement, social wellness, and behavior. Emotional wellness was categorized as a combination of self-esteem and stress-resistance. There were two research questions: (1) is there a relationship between student emotional wellness and student success?; and (2) can emotional wellness predict student success? A sample of 343 first-year university students (72% female) completed a demographic survey (age, gender, ethnicity, and GPA) and four self-report measures: self-esteem, stress, sociability, and self-care and safety. Correlation and linear regression analyses indicated that emotional wellness had a significant relationship with student success. Results supported the hypotheses, which suggested that individuals with higher emotional wellness were more likely to have higher student success. The discussion section presented implications, limitations, and suggestions for further research.

Abstract: This research was a product of the pursuit of finding a more effective teaching strategy that would give rise to the realization of the attainment of a reasonable improvement on grammar skills of the students through the employment of the Problem-Based Learning.

The study entitled Utilization of Problem-Based Learning in Improving Grammar Skills of Grade 8 Students sought to find out the effectiveness of utilizing PBL in teaching grammar to Grade 8 students of Florentino Torres High School during the academic year 2018-2019.

Based on the analysis of the data, the significant findings of the study are as follows: First, there was a significant difference that existed in the post-test performances of two groups in grammar since the computed t-value of 3.25 was greater than the tabular t-value of 1.99. Second, there was also a significant difference that existed between the pre-test and post-test performances of the PBL group in grammar since at 5% significance level, the computed t-value of 14.38 was higher than the tabular t-value of 2.02. Lastly, by comparison, the mean learning gains of PBL group was 16.69% higher than that of the non-PBL group.

In addition, the researchers recommend usage of PBL in the end means of improving the students’ performance, the utilization of the results of this study in the aspect of designing their own instructional delivery using PBL, the affordance of trainings and workshops for the teachers so that they can see the other useful benefits of PBL in other academic disciplines, and the conduct of future research as regards PBL bearing in mind the benefits that the teachers as well as the students can gain from it.
