BOGNOT Institution: Tarlac State University, Tarlac City Degree: Master of Arts in Education Major: Educational Management SECONDARY The study aimed to conduct an analysis of the MAPEH instruction among public secondary schools in Tarlac City school year 2012 – 2013. Descriptive research design was used to obtain information concerning the current status of the phenomena to describe “what exists” with respect to variables or conditions in a situation. All the forty (40) MAPEH teachers of the ten (10) different public secondary schools in the City Schools Division of Tarlac served as respondents of this study. Almost half of the teacher respondents who were being assigned to teach subjects which do not match their field of specialization. In general, the usability, adequacy and availability of the facilities and equipment depend on the priority of student’s activities. The most effective teaching methods and strategies used in MAPEH came out to be the lecture method and playing games. Moreover, there were various instructional materials used by the teachers in teaching MAPEH.The component music and arts were the weak components while physical education and health on the other hand were the strong components. The time allotment for each component of Music, Arts, Physical Education were all satisfactory to the teacher respondents. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The researcher would like to extend her sincere thanks and deepest gratitude to the following people who have extended their generous support and assistance for the successful completion of this research work.

According to Zevin (2007), good teachers have aims for teaching, they lead and guide their students and do not do the work for them. It is very important for students to be aware of the fact that the teacher is not the sole provider of information. Searching for information makes students curious to learn about issues, more especially current and controversial events emerging in their society. Moore (2004) claimed that one of the most important qualities of a teacher to have is knowledge. A good teacher should understand the central concepts and have an understanding of the subject that they teach and be able to demonstrate a vast knowledge of the subject matter. Knowledge enables the students to approach head-on the topic at hand and bring forth from those topics a variety of perspectives, interest and point of view. In addition a teacher needs to communicate with accurate knowledge of the subject matter in a language and style appropriate to the learner. ―Learning is complex activity that puts student’ motivation and physical condition to the test‖ (Lyons, 2002). It has been a long held assumption that curriculum and teaching have an impact on learning. However, it is becoming more apparent that the physical condition of our schools can influence student achievement. 2 Teachers agree that the facilities in which they teach can deter from the quality of their performance of the physical environment is substandard (Schneider 2003). The performance of a facility depends on several factors that are related to: quality, activity and users. Olajide (2007) sees sports facilities as the physical structures constructed for the use of sports and are generally the immovable structures like pitches swimming pools, courts, halls etc and that facilities has quality which makes learning or doing things easy and simple. In the same vein, Butcher and Krotee (2002) also observed that in physical education and sports instructional domain, all types of equipment and supplies like the balls, apparatus nets, standard implements etc. will be needed for the conduct of individual and team sports as well as for other physical activities (considering the increase number of enrolment and also increase in the number of sport lovers) sport programs use supplies and equipment that cost a lot of money. Even if facilities and equipment are available, the increasing enrolment of pupils/students into schools and increasing number of sport lovers amidst static or decreasing facilities and equipment still pose the problem of insufficiency of facilities and equipment. Improvisation is an answer to the problems associated with storage, repair, replacement, replenishment of consumable components of commercially available materials and also a solution to the problem of intensive training of teachers and students who will use the facilities and equipment. The qualities of improvisation – talents include creativities or resourcefulness and rich imagination that are transformable into realities. The local resources can be remolded and used to satisfy the quest for knowledge in the 3 schools, improvisation is also the adoptive ability of a resourceful teacher to produce facilities and equipment locally at low profile for teaching-learning processes (Lawan 2005). MAPEH teachers of the Public Secondary Schools of Tarlac City must be conscious of employing a variety of methods, techniques and instructional materials in order to encourage more students to participate actively in class activities. There is not just one way to teach MAPEH nor is there one way to learn it. A wide range of techniques and instructional materials used by the teacher can elicit an equally varied set of responses and involvement. Through different methods which will be used in the study, the researcher would be able to share to her colleagues the importance of coming out a variety of techniques and instructional materials which would promote involvement of students in the different methods and techniques of teaching. In the process, everyone will be enlightened as to the various methodologies, techniques and instructional materials used and those that are effective in encouraging students to be more interested, participative and active, thus making MAPEH more enjoyable and challenging. Teaching can only be effective when adequate and relevant instructional materials are used (Afolabi et. al. 2006). Many educators and researchers have reported the importance of instructional materials in teaching. Oyeniran (2003) posited that pupils learn best if they given the opportunity to make observation on what they are taught. He said, a good instructional material might be a substitute for real life objects in the classroom as against the use of exploratory method. 4 Instructional materials are print and non-print items that are designed to impart information to students in the educational process. Instructional materials play a very important role in the teaching-learning process. It enhances the memory level of the students. At this time, education has spread wide and the entirely oral teaching cannot be the key of successful pedagogy; therefore, the teacher has to use instructional material to make teaching-learning process interesting (Nicholls, 2000; Raw, 2003). The use of instructional material can enhance the learning achievement. Instructional materials is used efficiently and actively to facilitate the teachinglearning process. However, the situation is not good in most of the Public Schools. First, only the lower quality and the less quantity of instructional material are provided to schools. In this way, the availability of instructional material is very less. Secondly, teachers are not trained properly for using instructional. Thirdly, teachers do not take interest in using the instructional material. Lack of use of appropriate materials for the intellectual level of the students denies them active participation in their learning. Jotia (2006) has observed this and posits that, ―lack of student involvement in the teaching process makes teachers the subject of the learning while students are dissolved to the level of object that are just receiving deposits and their critical awareness is compromised‖. The aforementioned factors play a very significant role in the achievement of the set mission, goals and objectives of the MAPEH curriculum. These are the same components that the study will be focused to deal on. Each will be described profoundly so that a clear picture of the delivery of MAPEH instruction among the public high 5 schools in the city of Tarlac will be achieved. Furthermore these will be also be utilized to identify which among the inputted components is strong or weak. It is in this light that the researcher, being a specialist and a teacher in this particular field, is anxious to conduct this study which focuses on the MAPEH instruction among public secondary schools in Tarlac City that will lead towards an Enhancement Proposal with the end in view of providing vital information that would serve as means to draw implications that could possibly be used as references to sustain, enhance or alter programs and activities relating to MAPEH. The expected outcome are the adoption of very effective teaching methods used in MAPEH, appropriate use of instructional materials and the solutions to many problems encountered in the teaching of MAPEH. Statement of the Problem The main aim of this study was to make an objective description of the MAPEH Instruction among Public Secondary Schools in Tarlac City. Specifically, it sought answers to the following: 1. How is the instruction of MAPEH described in terms of: 1.1 Teachers 1.2 Facilities 1.3 Teaching methodologies and strategies 1.4 Instructional aids and devices 1.5 Learning Content 1.6 Learning experiences 1.7 Time allotment? 6 2. Which among the components is strong or weak? 3. What instructional plans can be proposed to improve MAPEH instruction? 4. What is the implication of the study to educational Management? Significance of the Study This study will serve as a springboard for MAPEH development planners to come out with ways of improving the MAPEH curricula. It is also important for school administrators that they may initiate teacher education and teacher training programs where potentials of MAPEH teachers coming from different regions are tapped. Allocating adequate budget and time can wheel-up MAPEH teachers for greater heights. Also that these administrators further enhance the improvement and upgrading of MAPEH in their respective schools. The teacher plays a major role in the teaching learning process. This study may be helpful to all MAPEH teachers who are willing to improve their teaching. They will be able to cultivate a sense of ingenuity and attitude of keeping abreast with the changes of times sharpening their teaching and research skills. On the other hand, teacher education institutions can utilize the findings of this study in training student teachers who major in MAPEH. The researcher being a MAPEH teacher herself believes that this study will increase her awareness of her role as a mentor in ensuring optimum learning by teaching MAPEH better and enhancing more positive responses from the students through their involvement. 7 Scope and Delimitation of the Study This study focused on the MAPEH Instruction of the forty (40) Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) teachers among public secondary schools in Tarlac City namely: Maliwalo National High School-Main(MNHS-MAIN), Maliwalo National High School-Annex (MNHS-ANNEX), San Manuel High School Main (SMHSMAIN), San Manuel High School-Annex (SMHS-ANNEX), Amucao High School-Main, Amucao High School – Annex, Aguso High School, Balibago Integrated School and Central Azucarera De Tarlac (CAT) High School. The respondents of this study were the MAPEH teachers of the ten (10) Tarlac City Schools. All teachers of MAPEH were taken as respondents. It aimed to find out which among the component of MAPEH instruction like the teachers, facilities and equipment, methods and techniques, the instructional materials, learning competencies, and time allotment is weak or strong, and an instructional plan to enhance the instruction is proposed. Definition of Terms For clarity, some terms are defined in this section in the context in which they were used in this study. Adequacy. It refers to the ability of facilities, equipment and instructional materials in MAPEH as very adequate, adequate, moderately adequate, and less adequate and not adequate. Effectiveness. It refers to how the methods and techniques in MAPEH teaching are usable and functional. 8 Enhancement measures. Suggestions and recommendations need to be adapted for the benefit of the learners; the augmentation or improvement of learners’ attributes, knowledge, ability, skills and potential. Ethnicity. Refers to the indigenous cultural communities or cultural groups the respondents belong. Facilities. Include school buildings, furniture, tools and all other materials used as means to make teaching-learning processes easy, convenient and effective which contribute to maximum teaching-learning outputs. Instructional Aids and Devices. Anything that the teacher uses in order to aid or enhance her teaching as well as students’ learning. Instructional Plan. Is lesson planning and reflects current research that instruction should be data driven, and that both teachers and students should have access to the expected outcomes and to the individual student progress toward meeting the outcomes. It includes long range (a scope & sequence), unit, weekly, and daily plans. Learning Content. The knowledge, skills, attitudes and values needed by everyone across a variety of life contexts. In this study, it refers to set of objectives based on the K to 12 Curriculum for first year. Secondary Education Curriculum (SEC) for second year students and Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) for third and fourth year. Learning Experiences. Are those events and activities from which students learned by experience and can identify, to a certain extent, what they have learned. MAPEH. It refers to a subject consisting of Music, Arts, Physical Education and health which is taken from first year to fourth year in the secondary level. Music is an art 9 that deals with sound. Arts are the creation or expression of something beautiful in painting, sculptor, music, literature and dance etc. Physical Education is the study connected with the human body. Health is the state of well being and free from illness. MAPEH Instruction. These are instructional approaches in MAPEH in which the teacher structures lessons in a straightforward sequential manner. The teacher is clearly in control of the content or skill to be learned and the pace and rhythm of the lesson. Generally, direct strategies allow the teacher to introduce new skills or concepts in a relatively short period of time. The teacher closely monitors student understanding and provides feedback to student on their performance. Methodologies. These are organized systematic procedure employed by a teacher in making students learn. Practice. This involves going over materials/activities just learned, intended to consolidate, clarify and emphasize what the students have already learned. Regional Achievement Test. It is the assessment given annually to monitor the public education system and schools for public accountability; provide information for better identification of instruction policies; measure achievement; evaluate students’ mastery skills. Strategies. A carefully devised plan of action to achieve a goal, or the art of developing or carrying out such a plan. Strong Components. It refers to a characteristic of a component of MAPEH instruction which promotes maximum development and achievement of expected competence among the students. 10 Student performance. It refers to the amount of learning exhibited by the student (Mazur 2007). In this study the bases of students’ performance was the result of CLRAA sports competition. Teachers. Is a person who provides education for pupils (children) and students (adults). In this study, the MAPEH teachers of the City Schools Division of Tarlac were taken as respondents. Teaching Methodologies. Comprises the principles and methods used for instruction. The choice of teaching method or methods to be used depends largely on the information or skill that is being taught, and it may also be influenced by the aptitude and enthusiasm of the students. Teaching strategies. Are generalized plan for a lesson or lessons which includes structure, desired learner behavior, in terms of the goals of instruction, and an outline of tactics necessary to implement the strategy. Time Allotment. The prescribed time given for teaching the MAPEH (Music, Arts, and Physical Education and Health). Weak Components. Components of MAPEH instruction that do not promote maximum development of competence of the students. 11 Chapter 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) is a part of school curriculum (elementary and high school) designed to meet the fast considerable changes that are brought about in the adolescents’ lives and to meet or achieve thrust for education and for the improvement of quality of life of our people. This chapter presents the review of literature that serves as a source of information and guidance toward the attainment of the researcher’s study. Related Literature Achievement test are exams that are designed to determine the degree of knowledge and proficiency exhibited by an individual in a specific area or set of areas. An achievement test is something administered as part of the acceptance process into an educational program or to quantify an individual for employment or a promotion with a current employer. In other applications, the achievement test serves as a tool to measure current knowledge levels for the purpose of placing students in an educational environment where they have the chance to advance at a pace that is suitable for their abilities. Achievement tests are used to determine a student’s academic strengths and weaknesses. When compared to intelligence test scores, achievement scores tell whether or not a child has the severe difference in ability performance that indicates a learning disability diagnosis. The scores also provide important information to help develop the 12 child’s individual education program. Achievement testing can also plan role in an alternative means of diagnosis called Response to Intervention. Music teaching, just like teaching all the other subjects, demands sufficient knowledge, skills and experiences as well as ounces of patience, discipline, motivation and creativity. Music educators have to acquire enough skill and character to inspire students not just to attend their classes but also adopt and practice their learning into their real lives. H. Robert Reynolds (2000) states, ―As music educators, our primary purpose is to help individual students receive a music education through experiences and information‖. With this statement, Dr. Reynolds seems to not only promote musical performance but also a more complete education for music students. Reynolds maintains this view by contending that, along with attention to performance goals, directors should be, ―fostering a greater awareness of the deeper meaning of the music. Focusing primarily on technical skill will tend to defeat this greater purpose,‖ which he says, ―is to present the music‖. The arts have long been identified as highly demanding cognitive activities (Eisner, 2002; Perkins, 1994). Recognizing this, recent research in arts education explores the cognitive development of students engaged in arts learning, and attempts to unpack the cognitive processes employed and developed in creating, performing, and responding to works of art. Research summarized in Critical Links, for example, identifies a range of cognitive capacities engaged in and nurtured by learning in the arts, including focused perception, elaboration, problem solving, and elements of creative thinking including fluency, originality, and abstractness of thought (Deasy, 2002). 13 Research might continue to examine both how students develop these skills and their inclinations and dispositions to use them, as they grapple with ideas, materials, and meanings in the arts (Fiske, 2000). Existing research in arts education suggests that arts learning experiences provide opportunities for youth to practice and further develop these types of cognitive skills (abstract thinking, critical thinking, reflection) and that learning in the arts often both demands, and provides vehicles for, alternative ways of examining and communicating important ideas, information, feelings, and understandings (Deasy, 2002). The arts may thus provide important opportunities for adolescents to hone their skills for exploration and analysis and direct them inward, and to develop a positive selfidentity and understanding of themselves in relation to the world around them. In addition, the arts often include a strong component of self-assessment, which may also support identity development. While the place of the arts in the development of young children requires no justification, it does merit deeper understanding. Many have asserted a constructive relationship between arts experiences and benefits such as increased motivation, skill in symbol manipulation, and even enhanced skill in building social relationships among young children (Deasy, 2002). According to Monohar (2008) Physical Education, which is commonly a part of the curriculum at school level, includes training in the development and care of the human body and maintaining physical fitness. Physical Education is also about human body and maintaining physical fitness. Physical Education is also about sharpening 14 overall cognitive abilities and motor skills via athletics, exercise and various other physical activities like martial arts and dance. Therefore, physical fitness is one of the most important elements of leading a healthy lifestyle. Physical education promotes the importance of inclusion of regular fitness activity in the routine. This helps the students to maintain their fitness, develop their muscular strength, increase their stamina and thus stretch their physical abilities to an optimum level. Physical fitness helps to inculcate the importance of maintaining a healthy body, which in turn keeps them happy and energized. Sound physical fitness, increased absorption of nutrients, better functioning of digestion and all other physiological process and hence result in all round fitness. Physical Educators believe that Physical Education plays a vital role in the development of a person. It takes great responsibilities in shaping the mind and body of an individual into a realistic one. The physical educator stated that main goal of Physical Education in the field of education is to promote the total fitness and skills development of the students. In connection with this program, they endorsed physical outdoor activities that are suited to the needs of the students in all levels (Berja, 2007). Health education should be recognized as an important part of general education. It makes clear to the teacher that administrator in charge of the school must expect health education to be part of the school program. Every teacher is expected to teach health and take the necessary time to do it. Children enter school, each with his own combination of hygienic habits developed in the patter of family living established by his parents. The teacher recognizes these differences and the school allies itself with the home in the health education of the child (Wanjek, 2005). Health is wealth. Good health does give an 15 attractive appearance to an individual but also helps him live a longer and happier life. A person needs to be healthy if he wants to be successful in life. A healthy person can work and serve others well. Keeping one’s body strong and healthy is his responsibility not only for himself but also to his family, and to his community nation. Harrison (2010) pointed out that there is a need for teachers’ specialization for teaching profession is not just about standing in front of the classroom imparting knowledge. It requires a variety of skills ranging from organization, good communication skills and the power to influence and motivate. Teachers are responsible for not just teaching but helping people to become solvers in the real world. Hence there are various levels of specialization in teaching, such as early childhood, elementary, secondary and post-secondary. Seshadri (2004) stresses that specialization of teachers in various skills should be promoted for parents would like to have schools tailored to their needs and, thereby, move closer to the desired level of education for their children. Since teachers play the central role in producing human capital hence they should acquire the skills that students wants and needs. This allow for teachers and students to be matched together better, hence promotes growth. Both Harrison (2010) and Seshadri (2004) pointed out the need for specialization in the teaching profession with mirror the subject of this study. The teacher carries out as well as creates his own instructional strategies. In his interaction with students, he must organize them for learning, help them identify objectives, spur them inquiry, lead them to evaluate their own progress. In short bring his strategy to life in the classrooms. Furthermore, he must change and adapt his strategies as 16 he teaches. If one approach to the students seems to be failing, he must readily adopt another strategy. As he gains knowledge about his strategies before he hits on the combination that open minds to learning. The reason why the teacher must possess a range of teaching strategies is simply for different educational purposes and every teacher seeks educational ends that demand more than one way of teaching. Panayon (2001) stated that, Learning and achievement increases when instructional strategies are planned according to student performance outcomes. Moreover, the study can help solve the many problems encountered in the teaching of MAPEH by the use of varied teaching materials and techniques, use of appropriate instructional materials and self-motivation and initiative of teachers in using equipment and facilities that the school can offer. Baumert et al. 2000, interpret instruction as an opportunity structure for insightful learning. ―This means that instructional materials, task selection, and instructional processes are analyzed from the perspective of whether they foster or obstruct active individual knowledge acquisition. Dimensions of this opportunity structure include the safeguarding of the social action framework by means of appropriate classroom management; pacing and range of learning opportunities (quantity of instruction); general instructional quality, in particular the didactical quality of the structure and realization of the instruction; and the quality of teacher-student and student-student relations.‖ Killen (2006) has made an observation on the shortage of instructional materials in schools by indicating that; ―the issue of resources may not be easy to resolve, but the important thing is that teachers should not use lack of resources as an excuse for not 17 teaching well‖. The implication here is that alternatives are out there and teachers should refrain from being solely dependent on the local council for ready-made materials, they should reach out for local materials and improvise whenever need arises. Glatthorn (2001) stated that some qualities of a good teacher that are crucial for determining one as a good teacher are the teacher’s sound knowledge in his major and its related fields, certain devotion to work and a great love for his/her students. Stronge (2002) mentioned that beyond the issue pedagogical preparation the question of content knowledge and its relevance to effective teaching remains a legitimate concern. He further stated that in addition to educational coursework, content knowledge is important as a strong prediction of teaching performance. A teacher subject matter expertise support students’ learning. He confidently stated that both content knowledge and pedagogical skills are vital aspects of teachers’ effectiveness. Teachers with expertise on the subject taught demonstrate strong classroom management skills and can better relate content to the needs and interest of the students. Lacuesta (2005) reported among the recommendations given by various group like teachers’ alumni and parents, one that has important implications for the improvement of education programs particularly teacher’s performance is that teachers should be assigned to teach their major or minor subject only. In order to assess the teacher’s knowledge of the subject matter the performance measurement in teachers’ evaluation can be applied. Haertel (2002) commented that one of the most widely used practices in teacher evaluation is classroom observation of teaching performance. Alternative form of 18 teaching performance measurement might requires teachers to plan a lesson, discuss the use of particular instructional materials, critique of students paper in which a set of topic might be taught and justify that ordering. A Permanent teacher is defined as a person who is employed full-time on an ongoing basis to educate students at a school. MAPEH permanent teachers are more confident to teach the subject and were more likely to assign routine activities, such as singing and using instruments in music classes and playing sports activities, while substitute and contractual teachers experienced difficulty implementing lesson plans especially when assigned classes outside their area of specialization. Substitute and contractual were perceived as being less committed to the profession compared with permanent teachers. Cardon 2002 found that some school administrators perceived contractual to be undedicated because they roved between schools and districts in search for better pay. Permanent, substitute and contractual were assumed to be similar because they have similar roles and responsibilities. Substitute teachers are employed on a temporary basis when a permanent teacher is unavailable to perform his or her routine duties. Like permanent teachers, Substitutes typically do have an appointment as their contracts and working arrangements are usually short term. Like permanent teachers, substitute and contractual are assumed to experience moderate to high levels of work-related stress, which are comparable to permanent teaching. Non-permanent teachers are known by a multitude of titles: substitute teachers, supply teachers, occasional teachers, and teachers on call. In Canada, one-fifth of the 19 teacher labor force works in non-permanent teaching positions. In a child’s schooling from Kindergarten through Grade 12, he or she will be taught by a non-permanent teacher the equivalent of one full year. In 2007, teachers were absent an average of 12 days per year as a result of illness, disability, and personal or family responsibilities. Teacher absence rates have been growing steadily over the last decade and, consequently, the role on non-permanent teachers has also been growing. In addition to absences due to illness and family responsibilities, teachers are regularly away from the classroom in order to pursue professional development opportunities. Educational policy changes have required more professional learning for the teaching profession which, in turn, requires a greater contribution from the non-permanent teacher workforce. The non-permanent teacher workforce also plays a significant role within the teacher supply and demand cycle. In times of teacher shortage, like the province of Alberta is currently experiencing in specific subject areas and rural regions,11 education systems turn to the pool of non-permanent teachers to fill vacancies. On the other hand, in times of teacher surplus—such as Ontario is currently experiencing—more teachers will work in the non-permanent teacher workforce and for longer time periods before securing a full-time, permanent position. In order for students not to lose precious time for learning, the work of nonpermanent teachers needs to be as seamless as possible. Non-permanent teachers need to be able to move in and out of classrooms with minimal disruption so that all students can receive the education that they deserve. 20 In most cases, recent graduates’ first teaching experience in the education system will be a position as a non-permanent teacher. In such situations non-permanent teachers new to the profession will be in working arrangements that require additional skills and knowledge, yet they are often poorly supported and prepared for these positions. Except for a few local initiatives, there is little preparation for non-permanent teachers. Teacher education programs, school districts and school boards, and teacher federations (unions and professional associations) might play a greater part in supporting non-permanent teachers. Related Studies A. Foreign According to Akiri and Ugborugbo (2009) in their study on ―Teachers Effectiveness and Students’ Academic Performance in Public Secondary Schools in Delta State, Nigeria,‖ effective teachers produced better performing students. However the observed differences in students’ performance were statistically not significant. This could be to the influence of students and school environment related factors which were not included in the study. It was concluded that teachers’ effect is not only determinant on students’ academic achievement. This is similar to the present study because the teacher is one of the factors that influenced students increased of their academic achievement. Maxwell (2005) conducted a study that examined the potential differences between problem-based learning (PBL) and traditional instructional approaches in building knowledge of macroeconomic concepts and principles in high school students. 21 Using data from 252 economic students and 11 high schools and controlling for individual characteristics, most notably verbal ability, they found modest evidence that, in the aggregate, PBL increased learning of macroeconomics at high school level as compared with traditional classes. They found strong evidence of an instructional interaction with teachers such that, for some teachers, students’ learning of macroeconomics increased using PBL but, for others, learning increased using more traditional instructional methods. Still other teachers saw no significant difference in learning under the two instructional strategies. The results suggest that problem-based instruction can improve student learning if instructors who are well trained in both the PBL technique and economics implement it. The above mentioned study was comparing teachers’ instruction which is related to the present study. The two cited studies focused more on the difference of the teachers’ teaching method, strategies and mode of instruction while the present study focused as well in the MAPEH instruction. Cardarelli (2003) investigated the effects of instrumental music instruction on standardized test performance of third-grade students. Students were divided into two groups: those participating in an instrumental music training program and those not participating. The music training actively designed for inner city students who could not financially afford to take music lessons. She found statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two group, with a positive effect of the music program on the students achievement levels. Schneider & Klotz (2000) examined the relationship between enrollment in music 22 performance classes and athletic extracurricular activities on academic achievement. Three hundred forty six subjects were divided into three groups: musicians (band or choir), athletes, or non-participants. All three groups were statistically equivalent in fifth and sixth grade. During seventh, eight, and ninth grades the musicians achieved significantly higher academic achievement scores than the athletes but did not score higher than the non-participants. The authors noted that the musicians showed a tendency to maintain stabilized scores while the athletes and non-participants groups’ scores dropped. Only five experimental studies have been identified that tested the effects of music instruction on academic achievement. Three of the five obtained results indicating that music instruction did have a positive effect on academic achievement. Olson (2003) affirmed parallel reading and math concepts through Kodaly music instruction with first, second and third grade students. Female students at all three grade levels improved math scores and males at the first and second grades improved reading scores. Barr, Dittmar, Roberts, & Sheraden (2002) provided elementary students with 16 weeks of instruction for the improvement of listening skills in addition to music instruction. Results indicated improved academic performance. In contrast to the positive effects on academic achievement found in the studies mentioned previously, Hines (2000) found that neither reading nor mathematics achievement was affected by the type of instruction students received. She had compared the effects of two types of instruction-motoric music instruction (utilizing movement) and non-motoric music instruction (excluding movement) on the academic achievement of 23 learning disabled students from kindergarten through ninth grades. Likewise, third, fourth and sixth grade students who received music instruction did not show improved academic performance over peers who did not receive similar music instruction (Legette, 1993). Haley (2001) investigated the effects of participating in an instrumental music program (band or orchestra) on the academic achievement of fourth-grade children. The children were placed into three groups; Group A consisted of children who had studied an instrument prior to the introduction of band and orchestra in fourth grade; Group B consisted of children just beginning to study an instrument; and Group C consisted of children with no experience in instrumental instruction. Data indicated that students who had studied an instrument prior to fourth grade had higher scores in mathematics achievement than did students in the other groups. A study by Rauscher and Zupan (2000) investigated the effects of classroom music instruction on spatial-temporal tasks than the no music group. The researchers found that after eight months of treatment, the keyboard group still scored significantly higher than the no music group and the difference between groups was much greater. Both Marzano (2003) and Wenglinsky (2002) found that studies strongly support collaborative learning as an effective instructional practice. Studies on cooperative learning indicate a strong impact on student achievement as well as increased motivation and improved social interactions with adults and peers (Leonard, 2001). Positive effects have been demonstrated for students at all grade levels (Vaughan, 2002; Stockdale & Williams, 2004; Peterson & Miller, 2004; Janes, Koutsopanagos, Mason & Villarand, 2000). However, to make the strategy most effective, teachers should group students 24 heterogeneously and eliminate competition among groups (Yu, 2000). Oludhe (2003) carried out an exploration of creative performance of secondary school students and the implication for the teaching of art in Kenya. Although his study was designed to explore the relationship between the domains of creativity which is a key value to art and design curriculum, the study used in this articles looked at environmental curriculum and administrative factors which have contributed to attitudes towards art and design curriculum. A case study was conducted in Finland by Tarja (2005) on girls, boys and gender play. The aim was to study art education from gender perspective in the everyday processes of art lesson in school. It brings to view, describes and interprets the dimensions and ways of constructing differences and how gender meanings attached to interpretation, picture making and the students works, processes where mutually contesting meanings arise and are dealt with. Gender become significant in the classroom as differences in style and doing, aesthetic values, subject matter and craft of student work were observed. This study is similar to the present study because they both discussed how gender works in students’ performance. Oreck (2004) found that teachers in general—regardless of their own personal knowledge or experiences in the arts—believe that arts experiences are valuable for students. A strong motivation for non-arts teachers to integrate the arts into their classrooms, he found, was the desire to increase their own enjoyment of teaching. Similarly, teachers involved in studies summarized in Critical Links reported a new enthusiasm and commitment to the teaching profession, and also reported that their roles 25 in arts programs and instruction positively changed their perceptions of, and attitudes toward, students (Deasy, 2002). Burton and others have also found that teacher-student relationships are improved in arts-rich schools (2001). In the Oreck study, teachers cited three conditions crucial to incorporating the arts into their teaching: adequate time to plan and deliver these new instructional approaches, support from direct supervisors, and appropriate space. They want and respond to professional development programs that strengthen their self image and self-efficacy relative to the arts, programs that develop their understanding and art-making capacities. ―Surprisingly,‖ Oreck reports, ―neither prior formal arts instruction nor current artistic practice outside of schools were found to be significant predictors of arts use in teaching.‖ Hickson and Fishburne (2002) in a study comparing elementary school preservice teachers’ and experienced elementary school teachers’ perceptions of successful physical education teaching compared to other curriculum areas, found that in physical education teaching the trend of busy, happy, and good was evident for both students teachers and experienced teachers, with student learning receiving a low priority. However, when considering successful teaching in other curriculum areas, both student teachers and experienced teachers, rated student learning as the highest indicator of successful teaching. This present study is somewhat similar to researches conducted by Cardarelli (2003), Schneider & Klotz (2000), Olson (2003), Hines (2000), (Legette, 1993), Haley (2001), Raucher and Zupan (2000), Marzano (2003) and Wenglinsky (2002), Oludhe 26 (2003), Tarja (2005), Oreck (2004), Hickson and Fishburne (2002) because it is through the proper mode of instruction where the students provide a positive output of what they learned. B. Local San Diego (2008) assessed the Physical Education I curriculum of La Salle University Ozamis. The findings of the study asserted that physical activities were considered as good to one’s health when taken regularly and an activity that builds up self-confidence. Majority of the respondents had very positive attitudes towards physical activities. It noted that the attitudes of the students and also the teachers’ effectiveness in teaching affected the students’ physical activities performance and the teachers’ effectiveness in teaching influenced the students’ physical activities performance. The above study has a relationship with the present study. San Diego (2008) noted that the attitudes of the students and also the teachers’ effectiveness in teaching affected the students’ physical activities performance and the teachers’ effectiveness in teaching influences the students’ physical activities performance Umayat (2004) sought to determine the status test results of the Practical Arts Education Program in the Public Schools in Baguio City. The study revealed that the equipment, tools and facilities, students could not afford to provide materials to the projects, no Practical Arts building, negative attitudes of the students and lack of support from administrators. The study revealed that the competencies expected of students were relatively low in their performance in the examination given to them. The thesis study of Umayat (2004) is comparable to the present study in the 27 sense that it determined the performance level of pupils in the examination given to them. Nevertheless, this study is different in its scope such as its focal point is students’ academic performance in music, arts, physical education and health while the previous was concentrated in the performance of Practical Arts Education Program. The literature and studies reviewed provided the researcher with a meaningful source of information and insights, which was made this study more comprehensive. The quoted and cited discussions are relevant to the present investigation in the sense that all are derived in related factors on MAPEH instruction. Circumstantial presentation of concepts along the various determination of related factors considered in this study also provided the needed information as her point of reference in analyzing and interpreting data. In the study conducted by Gacusan (2003) in Students Tests and Measurement Practices in terms of learning outcomes and acceptability of results, findings of the study reported that the teacher considered the test content would always represent the curricular objectives; in the items presented the emphasis in the curriculum; and likewise free from the irrelevant factors for the purpose of validating the test. Soriano (2001) did a study on determining the methods and techniques in teaching success in Social Studies in Manila public secondary schools, as an analysis. She used the normative survey method, supplemented by interviews on the varied methodologies and techniques used in teaching the subject, questionnaire were also distributed to secure responses about the use or the different and techniques utilized in teaching social studies. With regard to teaching effectiveness, the researcher reported that one’s teaching effectiveness may greatly increase depending on his ability to make the most out of the 28 different teaching methods. Preparation, organization and presentation of subject matter, classroom management and personal and local qualities are very useful indicator toward effective teaching learning process. Rocero (2001) surveyed the effectiveness of science instruction in high schools of Negros Oriental. His survey revealed that teachers were fairly qualified, the method and procedure used the teachers were fairly effective, judging from the achievement test results, they considerably yielded fair category. It was further found out that in-service training of science teacher was adequate while the schools were inadequately equipped with instructional facilities. Tugade (2000) found that the level of adequacy of instructional materials in the vocational elective courses of the University of Southern Philippines Laboratory High School was partly adequate. She conducted that it was very significant to make a study competencies expected of students were relatively low in their performance in the examination given to them. He also found that the level of adequacy of instructional materials in the vocational elective courses of the University of Southern Philippines Laboratory High School was partly adequate. She concluded that it was very significant to make a study or a continuing assessment of the various aspect of the curriculum program with the end view of identifying some constraints in its promotion and successful implementation in order to increase examination results of the learners. The studies of Gacusan (2003) ,Soriano (2001), Rocero (2001), Tugade (2000) is somehow similar to the present study as far as curriculum, methods, techniques in teaching and instruction and instructional material is concern. 29 Lucila (2000) found out in her study that programmed material approach and development method are effective in teaching concepts on music theory and notation. The developmental method though showed greater superiority in teaching concepts. This study concluded that the learning performance of pupils is affected by the type of instruction provided to them. Yasay (2002) conducted a study on the evaluation of the music program in the elementary schools at Tarlac East District. The study aimed to determine how prepared were the teachers to teach music. The data were gathered from 54 elementary music teachers through a rating scale. Her findings revealed that the teachers did not have enough training for music teaching. The respondents themselves rated instructional materials, devices, course of study and musical instrument as inadequate. The method they most commonly employed in their teaching is rote teaching. As a result, pupils’ participation and learning was only moderate. She concluded that teacher competency in music instruction needed to be updated. She recommended that the upgrading of teachers competencies through taking additional units in music aside from the existing 6 units in the general curriculum and through a well-planned in-service training should be done. Instruction should be enriched with more books, references, teaching aids and devices. The studies of Lucila (2000) and Yasay (2002) are evaluation on the status of music education and problems encountered by music teachers such as inadequate knowledge of teaching music: lack of instructional materials, book;: inability to apply effective methods and techniques; inability to read notes, interpret note values an 30 inadequacy to play musical instruments while the present study focused also on the teachers, availability of instructional materials and teaching methodologies and strategies. Gumilet (2009) in his thesis study entitled ―Factors Related to the performance of College Students in Physical Education 3 (Individual and Dual Sports)‖ made a study in some aspects of the Physical Education Program. His study revealed that the teacher’s greatest problem in the Physical Education Program is on facilities, equipment and supplies. Gumilet (2009) opined that a school may have the best-designed facility, the most advanced equipment and the finest supplies money can buy, but the teacher can make or break the organization. The teachers are the agent of change in the said institution. Blanza (2001) as cited by Gumilet (2009) stated that, in classroom, the teacher greatly influences the behavior of his students. The teacher with low energy level may result in poor performance among his students. He needs to communicate to his students that academic work is worthwhile and that his performance in teaching should encourage them to develop tolerance and understanding through his daily routine in the classroom. Gumilet (2009) in his study found out that the teachers teaching Physical Education were not educationally qualified, most schools have spacious site but lacked the necessary equipment, facilities and supplies. Gumilet (2009) identified two weakness of the program, namely, (1) Physical Education teachers who handle the subject are not well acquainted with the requirements in teaching the methods and strategies since they are no Physical Education Specialist and (2)insufficient facilities and equipment needed for proper implementation of 31 Physical Education program. This present study is somewhat similar to the one conducted by Gumilet (2009) on his Unpublished Master’s Thesis MAED-MAPEH at NVSU entitled ―Factors Related to the performance of College Students in Physical Education 3 (Individual and Dual Sports)‖. However this study differs in the local and subject of the study since the previous study used college students while the present study used third year students among the Public Tarlac City Schools on the four components of the subject: Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH). Fronda (2001) in his thesis study entitled ―The Status of Music Instruction Among Public Elementary School in Aritao District‖ revealed that; 1) on the scope and sequence of musical instructions, music teachers find them to be moderate in nature; 2) using different modalities, music is very effective in the use of demonstration; 3) instructional materials, tools, facilities are inadequate. Likewise, this study is comparable to the one conducted by Fronda (2001). The present study is broadened and enhanced previous studies in the sense that it did not mainly concentrated in Music Instruction alone but rather, it include the whole aspect of MAPEH. Piendad (2000) in his thesis study entitled ―Proposed Sourcebook of Physical Education for Grade VI at Solana North District‖ revealed that majority of the P.E teachers prefer to use the school playground as to where they hold their P.E classes. The study further stated that majority of the respondents used demonstration method in presenting lesson, followed by lecture method to command method, and part by part 32 method respectively. Some factors directly met by students to engage in physical activities According to Volger (2002) as cited by Hermoso 2008 in her thesis study entitled ―Participation and Performance of Nueva Vizcaya State University Athletes in Sports Competitions‖, parental encouragement would be a major factor in the individual’s sports participation. Sage (2000) stated that parents are the major sports socialization agents as over 90% of the athletes reported that their parents ere somehow very important in their involvement in sports by seeing her mother or older female siblings participated/compete in sports. Hermoso (2008) claimed that the concept of sports is a good thing for the people for their image and success in keeping them in power. The world’s leading competitors can become rich through their talents and incentives who demonstrate the best of their abilities. The studies of Piendad (2000), Volger (2002), Hermoso 2008, Sage (2000) have a relevance to the present study because they all dealt with the MAPEH subject and used students studying the subject as the respondents. Conceptual Framework Guided by the input-output-process continuum, the conceptual framework in figure 1 illustrates the research paradigm of the study. The input refers to the MAPEH instruction in terms of teachers, facilities, methodologies, instructional materials used, learning competencies and time allotment. The process component involves the identifying weak and strong components of MAPEH Instruction and Enhancement 33 measures that can be proposed. The expected outputs are the adoption of very effective instruction used in MAPEH and the implication of the study to Educational Management. MAPEH Instruction described in terms of: 1. Teachers 2. Facilities and equipment 3. Teaching methodologies and strategies 4. Instructional aids and devices 5. Learning content 6. Learning experiences 7. Time Allotment Strong Components Proposed Implication to Instructional Educational Plan Weak Components Figure 1. The Paradigm of the Study Management 34 Chapter 3 METHODS OF STUDY AND SOURCES OF DATA The research design, methodology of the study, the respondents and the data gathering instrument used are presented in this chapter. Research Design Descriptive research design was used to obtain information concerning the current status of the phenomena to describe what exists with respect to variables or conditions in a situation. The main goal of this type of research is to describe the data and characteristics about what is being studied. The idea behind this type of research is to study frequencies, averages, and other statistical calculations. Although this research is highly accurate, it does not gather the causes behind a situation. Descriptive research is mainly done when a researcher wants to gain a better understanding of a topic. The status of instruction in MAPEH in the secondary schools of the City Schools Division of Tarlac is determined in terms of teachers’ profile, facilities and equipment, teaching methodologies and strategies, instructional aids and devices, learning content, learning experiences, and time allotment. This method is fact-finding, and with adequate interpretation. According to Best, this method is concerned with conditions or relationships that exists, practices that prevail and processes that are going on. ―It involves the description, recording, analysis and interpretation of conditions that exist. 35 Respondents of the Study All the forty (40) MAPEH teachers of the ten (10) different public secondary schools in the City Schools Division of Tarlac were taken as respondents of this study. The nine (9) public secondary schools are: Maliwalo National High SchoolMain(MNHS-MAIN), Maliwalo National High School-Annex (MNHS-ANNEX), San Manuel High School Main (SMHS-MAIN), San Manuel High School-Annex (SMHSANNEX), Amucao High School-Main, Amucao High School – Annex, Aguso High School, Balibago Integrated School , Central Azucarera De Tarlac (CAT) High School and Central Azucarera De Tarlac (CAT) High School– Annex. Presented in table 1 is the distribution of the MAPEH teachers in the different public secondary schools. Table 1 Distribution of the Respondents by School School Maliwalo National High School-Main(MNHSMain) Maliwalo National High School-Annex (MNHSAnnex) San Manuel High School Main (SMHS – Main) San Manuel High School Main (SMHS – Annex) Amucao High School – Main Amucao High School – Annex (Baras Baras) Aguso High School Balibago Integrated School Central Azucarera de Tarlac (CAT) High School Central Azucarera de Tarlac (CAT) High School –Annex Total Male 3 3 5 1 0 0 4 1 2 0 19 % 7.5 7.5 Female 7 2 12.5 2.5 0 0 10.0 2.5 5.0 0 0 2 3 2 1 0 3 47.5 21 1 % 17.5 Total (%) 10 25.0 5 12.5 0 5.0 7.5 5.0 2.5 0 7.5 2.5 5 3 3 2 5 1 5 12.5 7.5 7.5 5.0 12.5 2.5 12.5 1 2.5 52.5 40 100 5.0 A total of forty teacher respondents served as the respondents of the study. There were nineteen (19) male teachers and twenty one (21) female teachers. 36 Data Gathering Instrument The data gathering tool used in this study was the questionnaire checklist. Three supervisors of MAPEH from the City Schools Division of Tarlac were asked to validate and evaluate the questionnaires that assessed the appropriateness of the questionnaires for the study and the relevance of the instrument in gathering data for the attainment of the objectives of the study. The questionnaire was dry-run among 10 MAPEH teachers from Tarlac National High School before it was actually distributed to the respondents of this study. The questionnaire checklist for the teacher respondents was divided into eight (8) parts. Part I of the questionnaire generated data on teachers’ profile: major course finished highest educational attainment, employability, teachers’ rank/position and CBPAST rating. Part II deals with the common sports equipment and sports facilities in teaching MAPEH subject. The respondents just checked if the facilities/equipments were usable/adequate/available. Part III was on the common teaching methodologies and strategies in teaching MAPEH. Part IV focused on the availability of instructional aids and devices. Part V was concentrated on the frequency of use of instructional materials. Part VI focused on the learning competencies. Part VII was concentrated with the learning experiences and Part VIII was on time allotment. Data Gathering Procedures The researcher drafted request letter addressed to the Tarlac City Schools 37 Division Superintendent, Dr. Lilia M. Santiago, for approval. After the approval, the researcher drafted again a request letter addressed to the school principal of the 10 City Schools of Tarlac with the attached approval letter from the Division Superintendent for approval of conducting the study through distribution of the validated questionnaire. After the request letters were approved, the researcher personally distributed the survey questionnaires to all the forty (40) MAPEH teachers. The survey questionnaires were collected after one week and one hundred percent retrieval was achieved. Personal interviews were also conducted to gather more pertinent information about the study. After the successful data gathering was done, data processing was undertaken by the researcher. Statistical Treatment of Data Frequency and percentage distributions were used to facilitate the analysis of data. Tables were used for the presentation of data to facilitate understanding. Frequency distribution is a systematic listing of all values on a variable with the number of times (frequency) each values is observed. It is one of the most basic techniques for simplifying a large data set (Polit, Beck, & Hungler, 2001). Percentage "represents a proportion multiplied by 100, thus it represents how many for every 100 of something" (Gillis and & Jackson, 2001, p. 710). It also describes the relationship of a part to its whole (Adanza and Martinez, 2002). The formula is %= 38 Frequency and percentage distribution, therefore, summarizes the information gathered from computations (Adanza & Martinez, 2002). The Weighted Mean was used to describe the level of effectiveness of MAPEH instruction and the degree by which the components of teaching in MAPEH is weak or strong. The formula of weighted mean is: WM = Where: ∑X = summation of scores W = weight N = number of respondents Quantification of Variables The teachers’ profile and the availability of instructional devices were guaged through the use of frequency and percentage. To describe the level of usability, adequacy and availability of the facilities used in Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health, the Likert Scale Technique (Cabading, 2003) was used, with corresponding scale and qualitative measure. For the five-point Likert Scale, the following scale and qualitative descriptions were used: Numerical Verbal Description Equivalence 4.20 – 5.00 The MAPEH facilities/equipment had been useable/adequate/available at all times or 100% of the time. 3.40 – 4.19 The MAPEH facilities/equipment had been useable/adequate/available most of the time or 67%-99% of the time. 2.60 – 3.39 The MAPEH facilities/equipment had been useable/adequate/available every now and then or 33% -66% of the time. 1.80 – 2.59 The MAPEH facilities/equipment had not been useable/adequate/available or seldom or 1% to 32% of the time. 1.00 – 1.79 The MAPEH facilities/equipment had not been useable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time. 39 To describe the frequency of the common teaching methods and strategies in the teaching of MAPEH, the frequency of Instructional materials used in teaching MAPEH and to describe the time allotment in each area of MAPEH subject, the five point Likert scale with the following scale value and qualitative descriptions were used: Numerical Equivalence Verbal Description 4.20 – 5.00 - Always - Very Much Satisfied 3.40 – 4.19 - Often - Much Satisfied 2.51 – 3.29 - Sometimes - Satisfied 1.80 – 2.50 - Seldom - Moderately Satisfied 1.00 – 1.79 - Never - Dissatisfied The teachers were provided with the list of learning competencies to be able to know if these competencies were taught/discussed/demonstrated or not. To measure the level of teaching/discussion/demonstration of the prescribed competencies in the different areas of MAPEH, below scale were used: Numerical Verbal Description Equivalence 4.20 – 5.00 The Learning competencies had been 100% taught/discussed/demonstrated. 3.40 – 4.19 The Learning competencies had been 67% - 99% taught/discussed/demonstrated. 2.60 – 3.39 The Learning competencies had been 33% - 66% taught/discussed/demonstrated. 1.80 – 2.59 The Learning competencies had not been attained or 1% - 32% taught/discussed/demonstrated. 1.00 – 1.79 The Learning competencies had not been taught/discussed/demonstrated or zero percent (0%) of the time. To measure the learning experiences provided for the MAPEH students the following scale were used: 40 Numerical Equivalence Verbal Description 2.6 – 3.0 - Always 1.6 – 2.5 - Sometimes 1.0 – 1.5 - Never 41 Chapter 4 PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA This chapter presents the interpretation and analysis of the data according to the sub-topics stated in the problem of this study. 1. Description of MAPEH Instruction The researcher’s main objective was to describe MAPEH instruction in terms of the teachers’ profile, facilities and equipment, teaching methodologies and strategies, instructional aids and devices, learning content, learning experiences, and time allotment. 1.1 Teachers’ Profile The teachers’ profile were gauged through the teacher’s major or field of specialization in the undergraduate degree, highest educational attainment, status of employment and position or rank. 1.1.1 Teachers’ Field of Specialization For the teachers’ profile, the researcher looked into the teachers’ undergraduate degree. Presented in table 2 was the teachers’ undergraduate degree. If we treated teaching as a highly valued profession, one that requires expertise and skill in a specialty, there would be no problem attracting and retaining more than enough excellent teachers. And there would be little problem ensuring that all classrooms were staffed with qualified teachers. 42 Table 2 Distribution of the Respondents According to Field of Specialization Field of Specialization PEHM PE and Health Music Other subject not related to MAPEH Total F 20 2 1 17 40 Percentage (%) 50.0 5.0 2.5 42.5 100 It can be seen from the table that twenty (20) or 50.0% of the respondents were PEHM majors, two (2) or 5.0% were PE and Health majors while there is only one (1) 0r 2.5% music major. There are seventeen (17) or 42.5% of the respondents who are teaching MAPEH but are not major in any MAPEH related subject. It is worth taking note that there were twenty three (23) or 57.5% who are at least MAPEH related majors. It only means that these teachers are expected to cover what has to be taught in MAPEH subjects because it is under their specialization and their field of expertise. Teaching a subject with much background can make the students learn more and teachers can discover potential students who can do better with the subject and also who could be the pride of the school as well. It was almost half or 42.5% of my teacher respondents who are being assigned to teach subjects which do not match their field of specialization. The most popular explanation of the school principal to this problem is teacher shortages. The shortfalls in the number of available teachers, caused by a combination of increased student enrollments and a ―graying‖ teaching force, have lead many school systems to resort to lowering standards to fill teaching openings. Beginning teachers are usually assigned in a 43 subject which do not match their majors than experienced teachers. Many teachers are assigned by their principals to teach classes that do not match their training in education. 1.1.2 Teachers’ Highest Educational Attainment For the highest educational attainment of the teacher respondents, the data gathered for the study were shown in table 3. Table 3 Distribution of the Respondents According to Highest Educational Attainment Highest Educational Attainment Doctorate Degree Master’s Degree PEHM MEM MAED-EDMA MAT-MATH College Degree Total F 0 5 1 1 2 1 35 40 Percentage (%) 0 12.5 2.5 2.5 5.0 2.5 87.5 100 The table reveals that all the teacher respondents were college degree holders, a great number of the respondents in fact, thirty five (35) or 87.5% while five (5) or 12.5% of the teachers were master’s degree holder. Among the five master’s degree holder, there was only one respondent whose major is PEHM which is basically related with the teaching of the MAPEH subject. It is noticeable that not one of the teacher respondents has finished a doctorate degree. Teacher education and experience are not strong predictors of teacher effectiveness, as measured by student achievement gains. In one study of Chicago Public School teachers, Aaronson, Barrow, and Sander (2007) found that 90 percent of the variance in teacher effects on student learning was not explained by teacher 44 characteristics such as highest level of education, experience, credentials, and selectivity of the college that the teacher attended. The preponderance of evidence suggests that teachers who have completed graduate degrees are not significantly more effective at increasing student learning than those with no more than a bachelor’s degree. Five studied review by Rice (2003), which examined student achievement in a wide variety of grades and subject areas, found that teachers having completed an advanced degree had no significant effect on student performance (Summer & Wolfe, 1977:Link & Ratledge, 1979; Murnane & Phillips, 1981, Harnisch, 1987; Monk, 1994). Clotfelter, Ladd & Vigdor (2007) also found that on average, elementary teachers who had completed master’s degrees were no more no less effective than others at raising student achievement, with one exception. Elementary teachers with master’s degrees appeared to be less effective, on average, than those without advanced degrees if they earned the degrees more than five years after they started teaching. Only one study Rice examined found a significant relationship between teacher completion of a master’s degree and student achievement, and the relationship was significant for black students only (Ehrenberg & Brewer, 1994). Moreover, four more studies that she reviewed found a negative relationship between teacher completion of advanced degrees and student achievement. And Rowan, Correnti, and Miller (2002) found that students assigned to a teacher with a degree in mathematics actually performed worse than students whose teacher had no mathematics degree. A more recent meta-analysis of a larger number of studies also 45 found no consistent relationship between holding a graduate degree and a teacher’s ability to increase student learning gains (Aos, Miller, & Pennucci, 2007). Holding some types of advanced degrees may have a positive effect on student achievement at the secondary level, however, Clotfelter, Ladd and Vidgor (2007) found that in contrast to findings that emerged from their earlier research on elementary school teachers, high school teachers who have completed a master’s degree were more effective at increasing student achievement than those with advanced degrees. 1.1.3 Teachers’ Status of Employment Table 4 presents the status of employment of the MAPEH teachers in public secondary schools in Tarlac City. The statuses of employment were the following: Permanent, Substitute and Contractual. Table 4 shows the data gathered for this study. Table 4 Distribution of the Respondents According to Status of Employment Status of Employment Permanent Contractual Total F 32 8 40 Percentage (%) 80.0 20.0 100 A great majority of the teacher respondents were on a permanent status, that is, thirty two (32) or 80.0% while eight (8) or 20.0% were on a contractual basis appointment. A permanent teacher has a better compensation and benefits as compared with the contractual appointment teacher. The reason why a lot of teachers would like to have a permanent position in teaching public school was the job security plus the benefits that other schools might doesn’t have. The contractual basis falls under LSB (Local 46 School Board) where the City Government of Tarlac was the one paying for their compensation. 1.1.4 Teachers’ Position or Rank Table 5 is on the teachers’ position or rank. The teachers’ position or rank can go up depending on the number of years in teaching as well as the teachers’ achievement and the yearly rating in the competency-based performance: appraisal system for teachers (CB-PAST). The data are shown in table 5. Table 5 Distribution of the Respondents According to their Position or Rank Position/Rank Master Teacher III Master Teacher II Master Teacher I Teacher III Teacher II Teacher I Total F 0 0 0 4 1 35 40 Percentage (%) 0 0 0 10.0 2.5 87.5 100 The table revealed that most of the teacher respondents were Teacher I, thirty five (35) or 87.5% of them are just on the first step of the rank, one (1) or 2.5% was Teacher II, and four (4) or 10.0% were Teacher III. There were no teacher respondents who are Master Teachers. There is no distinction between the duties of one teaching position and those of other teaching positions. All are involved in classroom teaching. Hence, teaching positions are classified based on the personal qualifications of the incumbents thereof rather than based on the preponderant duties and responsibilities and qualification requirements of the positions. This concept deviates from existing standards that work 47 assignments determine the classification and pay levels of positions. The deviation is made in the case of teachers to encourage and reward initiatives for professional growth which are vital in a dynamic educational system. The progression to a higher position level, which does not entail an increase in duties and responsibilities, recognizes the increase in the academic preparation level. The teacher I has a salary grade of 10 while the teacher II and III has a salary grade of 11 and 12. As the position goes up, the salary will increase as well which drives the teachers to strive harder for a higher position. There are four (4) teachers under teacher III which means they are more experienced that is why in every school, they are most often appointed as the MAPEH leaders. There are thirty five (35) teachers who are teacher I which means that majority of the respondents are still on the process of going up the ladder to seek for a higher position. 1.1.5 Competency-Based Performance: Appraisal System for Teachers For the highest CB-Past rating of the teacher respondents, the data gathered for the study were shown in table 6. Good evaluations identify excellent teachers of all skill levels understand how they can improve. Teachers are commonly promoted on the basis of a rating given by the principal. Evaluation should provide all teachers with regular feedback that helps them grow as professionals, no matter how long they have been in the classroom. All teachers are almost the same, and that the primary purpose of evaluation is to identify the strength and weaknesses of the teachers that are needed to be developed and improved. 48 Table 6 Competency-Based Performance: Appraisal System for Teachers (CB-PAST) Description of Overall Performance Ratings Outstanding Very Satisfactory Total Male % Female % Total (%) 2 17 19 5.0 42.5 47.5 4 17 21 10.0 42.5 52.5 6 34 40 15.0 85.0 100 It can be seen from the table that out of forty (40) respondents there were 6 or 15% who were rated outstanding while there were 34 or 85% who were being rated as very satisfactory. The respondents were given an outstanding rating because of the job well done in the entire school year, especially if the teachers trained a student who moved to regional contest or national competition plus if the teachers are dedicated enough in their profession and willing to perform some jobs beyond what are required for them. The respondents who got very satisfactory indicate that their performance consistently exceeds expectations as well. They display a high level of competency related skills, abilities, initiatives and productivity plus exceeding requirements in many of the areas. 1.2 Facilities The researcher determined if the respondent schools have available, useable and adequate facilities. The facilities must be well planned, carefully developed, made sufficient and appropriately utilized to suit the needs of the students in sports activities. The usability, availability, adequacy of facilities were necessary conditions for running a good and meaningful programme in sports and related fields. For the facilities, table 7 reveals the findings of this study. 49 Table 7 Usability, Adequacy, and Availability of the Facilities Facilities Mean Volleyball Court 3.33 Basketball Court 3.30 Badminton Court 3.03 Grandstand/Gymnasium 2.06 Audiovisual Room 1.60 Track Ovals 1.55 Baseball/Softball Diamond 1.50 Horizontal Bars 1.50 Music Room 1.45 Dance Room 1.45 Grand Mean 2.08 Usability/Adequacy/Availability Usable/adequate/available every now and then or 33% - 66% of the time Usable/adequate/available every now and then or 33% - 66% of the time Usable/adequate/available every now and then or 33% - 66% of the time Seldom Usable/adequate/available 1% - 32% of the time Not been Usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time Not been Usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time Not been Usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time Not been Usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time Not been Usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time Not been Usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time Seldom Usable/adequate/available 1% - 32% of the time It can be seen from the table that volleyball court, basketball court and badminton court are usable/adequate/available every now and then or 33% - 66% of the time of respondent schools. This means that the above-named facilities are not available 100 % of the time because not all the school respondents have a covered court which can be used as volleyball, basketball and badminton court all at the same time. It is not 100% all the time because if the covered court is being used as a volleyball court then it cannot be used as a basketball court or badminton court and vice versa. That is why it is only 50 usable, adequate and available 33% to 66% because the usability, adequacy and availability of such facilities depend on the priority of student’s activities. Grandstand/Gymnasium was seldom usable/adequate/available or 1% - 32% of the time because only few of the school respondents have a covered court. Open space is being used whenever there is an activity that requires a wider space. An audiovisual room had not been usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time, this means that majority of the respondent schools doesn’t have an audiovisual room usable, adequate and available. Likewise, track oval and baseball/softball diamond had not been usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time because most of the respondent schools do not have track ovals and baseball/softball court also. However when a track oval and baseball/softball court is badly needed for sports competitions, they convert some spaces of the school to serve as track oval or they go to other schools that have track ovals. Same is true also with music room, dance room and horizontal bars which were not usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) of the time because most of the time MAPEH classrooms are used as music and dance room as well. Moreover, Horizontal bars are not available to all the school respondents. The grand mean of 2.08 equivalents to seldom usable, adequate and available 1% to 32% of the time means that the schools may have incomplete facilities and since not all of the school respondents have a covered court, they can play the ball games one at a time using vacant spaces inside the campus. 51 There are many reasons why school buildings are crucial factor in student achievement. Facilities are very much the rising tide that lifts all boats — well-designed learning environments have demonstrable impacts on student health, student achievement and even teacher performance. Students surely deserve nothing less. Students and staff in more comfortable learning environments — whether that’s a result of day lighting or thermal comfort or cleaner air — tend to perform better, because they have their basic needs met and at that point they’re able to focus on more complex tasks (DeFranco, 2003). The facility makes a difference. The kids take a great deal of pride in being here. They’ve taken a pride not only in the facility, but there’s more pride in their academic performance (Emmert, 2005). 1.3 Methodologies and Strategies The researcher also looked into the teachers’ methods and strategies as indicators for this study. 1.3.1 Methodologies To achieve the goal of teaching, the teacher must adopt effective teaching methods in education. The teacher has many options to choose from different teaching techniques designed specifically for teaching and learning. The teaching method should be adopted on the basis of certain criteria like the knowledge of the students, the environment and the set of learning goals decided in the academic curriculum. 52 Data collected as to the methodologies used by the teachers are presented in table 8. Table 8 Methodologies Used in Teaching by the Respondents Methodologies Lecture Method (teaching procedure for clarifying or explaining a major idea) Practice and Drill Method (involves going over materials/activities just learned, intended to consolidate, clarify and emphasize what the students has already learned) Demonstration Method (an explanation accompanied by action or the use of materials and equipment) Direct Instructional/Expository Method (teacher structures lesson in a straight forward sequential manner) Grand Mean Mean Verbal Description 4.30 Always 4.03 Often 3.93 Often 3.70 Often 3.99 Often The result reveals that there were different methodologies often being used in teaching MAPEH subject. The grand mean of 3.99 with a verbal description means often was an indication that the above methodologies are applicable in teaching MAPEH in the sense that teachers knew that the use of common methodologies in the learning process were effective. Based on the table 8, the lecture method was always the method being used by almost all of the teacher respondents with a mean of 4.30. The lecture method may be used for the purpose of introducing, informing, explaining, demonstrating and summarizing lessons. They added that the most effective use of the lecture occurs when it serves to heighten the interest of students to further inquiry and when it compliments a variety of instructional materials. When the teacher is supplemented with discussions and teaching aids it can lead to a very good learning experience. However, problems arise 53 when this method or approach is not executed well or when it is done with students whose learning objectives and styles do not fit this method of teaching. Practice and drill method, demonstration and direct instructional/expository method had a mean of 4.03, 3.93 and 3.70 in the teaching of MAPEH. During the lessons, the teacher must provide guidance to the students to ensure they learn effectively. To do this, the ―practice and drill‖ and ―demonstration‖ of the new skill will be manipulated by the teacher to beat suit the individual, skill and situation. In demonstration method, students can perfectly execute and drill a certain activity if well demonstrated by the teacher compared to just lecturing without a concrete example. Thus, the lecture method was rated as always because most activities are more valued and appreciated when demonstrated. It would mean then that it is always best to demonstrate after the lecture. The least used method was the ―direct instructional/expository method with a mean of 3.70. In this method, the teacher plays a major role in directly teaching what the learners will learn and how they will learn it. The choice of teaching method/methods to be used depends largely on the information or skill that is being taught and it may also influence by the aptitude and enthusiasm of the students. 1.3.2 Strategies Learning strategies are the thoughts and/or actions that students used to complete learning tasks. We all know that good teachers use numerous teaching strategies to help students learn. We use visuals to introduce new ideas, direct students' attention to 54 important elements, and we activate students' background knowledge before introducing a new concept. For the strategies used by the teacher respondents, the data gathered are revealed in table 9. Table 9 Strategies Used by the Respondents Strategies Games (activities with goals, rules and rewards) Cooperative Learning (students working together in groups to complete academic task) Simulation (simplified representation of real activities where the students play themselves in a situation Role Playing (the spontaneous acting out of problems or situation) Multisensory (involving several bodily senses) Grand Mean Mean 4.28 Verbal Description Always 4.03 Often 3.75 Often 3.55 Often 3.45 3.81 Often Often It can be gleaned from the table that playing games was the topmost strategy being used by the teacher respondents. Needless to say, playing games is a common strategy in the teaching of MAPEH. The grand mean of 3.81 means that all the other strategies were being used by the teacher respondents, that is why the grand mean is equivalent to often since from time to time different strategies are being used by the teacher respondents. The fundamental importance of teaching strategies is to make it easier to implement a variety of teaching methods and techniques. Here you will find a variety of teaching strategies to help students take more responsibility for their own learning and enhance the process of teaching for learning. The key is to create learning environments 55 that are more interactive, to integrate technology where applicable into the learning experience, and to use collaborative learning strategies when appropriate. 1.4 Instructional Aids and Devices As the saying goes, ―a picture worth a thousand words‖ applies. In teaching MAPEH, visual aids illustrate the presentation that usually reinforce the main point and directly improves one sense of mastery and self-esteem on the part of the teacher. On the other hand, it leads and guides students to clearer and better understanding. The researcher also considered the availability of instructional aids and devices used by the teacher respondents in teaching MAPEH and how often the instructional aids and devices were being used. 1.4.1 Availability of Instructional Aids and Devices The instructional aids considered in this study are the audio, the visual, and the audiovisual aids. Presented in table 10 are the instructional aids available in the respondent schools. Various multisensory instructional aids and devices can subscribe for firsthand experience and enhance understanding, so they are an integral part of the learning activity. Instructional aid and devices should be adequately provided to have an effective instruction in MAPEH. 56 Table 10 Availability of Teaching Aids and Devices Instructional Aids and Devices Printed Materials Textbooks Supplemental materials Reference books Pamphlets Magazines/newspapers Audio Aids Radio Tape Recorder Pitch Pipe Whistle Megaphone Drums Visual Aids Chalkboard Still pictures Photographs Illustrations LCD Projector Weighing Scale Chess Set Balls Basketball Ring Spirit Level Different Costumes Visual Aids (Graphic Materials) Charts Posters Drawings Pictures Diagrams Sketches Audiovisual Aids Television Motion Pictures F Available Percentage (%) F Not Available Percentage (%) 35 29 35 18 15 87.5 72.5 87.5 45.0 37.5 5 11 5 22 25 12.50 27.50 12.50 55.0 62.5 24 16 12 35 31 10 60.0 40.0 30.0 87.5 77.5 25.0 16 24 28 5 9 30 40.0 60.0 70.0 12.5 22.5 75.0 40 29 31 32 28 30 33 31 29 10 10 100 72.5 77.5 80.0 70.0 75.0 82.5 77.5 72.5 25.0 25.0 0 11 9 8 12 10 7 9 11 30 30 0 27.5 22.5 20.0 30.0 25.0 17.5 22.5 27.5 75.0 75.0 30 32 33 32 18 15 75.0 80.0 82.5 80.0 45.0 37.50 10 8 7 8 22 25 25.0 20 17.5 20 55.0 62.50 26 10 65.0 25.0 14 30 35.0 75.0 57 It is revealed in table 10 that all or 100% of the respondent schools have chalkboard always available and ready to use by the teachers. Most of the respondent schools have a 75% to 87.5% of the following instructional materials available, namely: textbooks (35 or 87.5%), reference book (35 or 87.5%), photographs (31 or 77.5%), illustrations (32 or 80.0%), weighing scale (30 or 75%),chess set (33 or 82.5%), Balls (31 or 77.5%), whistle (37 or 87.5%), megaphone (31 or 77.5%), charts (30 or 75.0%), posters (32 or 80.0%), drawings (33 or 82.5%) and pictures (32 or 80.0%). However, few of the respondent schools have some of the instructional aids and devices. Only twenty nine (29) or 72.5% of the respondent schools have supplemental materials and still pictures. Twenty eight (28) or 70% have LCD projector, twenty nine (29) or 72.5% have basketball ring, ten (10) or 25% have spirit level, different costumes and drums, twenty six (26) or 65.0% have televisions, twenty four (24) or 60% have radio, eighteen (18) or 45% have pamphlets and diagrams, sixteen (16) or 40% have tape recorder fifteen (15) or 37.5% have magazines/newspaper and sketches, twelve (12) or 30% have pitch pipe, and only ten (10) or 25% of the respondents have motion pictures available in their school. Teaching aids play a very important role in Teaching- Learning process. Importance of Teaching aids are as follows: motivation - teaching aids motivate the students so that they can learn better; clarification - through teaching aids , the teacher clarify the subject matter more easily; discouragement of cramming - teaching aids can facilitate proper understanding to the students which discourage the act of cramming; increase the vocabulary - teaching aids helps increase the vocabulary of the students more 58 effectively; saves time and money; classroom live and active - teaching aids make the classroom live and active: avoids dullness; and direct experience - teaching aids provide direct experience to the students. 1.4.2 Frequency of Use of the Instructional Aids and Devices/Sports Equipment/Sports Facilities The researcher also looked into how frequent are the instructional aids and devices are used in their teaching of MAPEH. Table 11 shows the findings. Table 11 Frequency of Use of the Instructional Aids and Devices Instructional Aids and Devices A.

Other instructional aids and devices were used often namely: weighing scale, whistle,supplemental materials, chess set, reference book, illustrations, drawings, 60 pictures, volleyball court, with a mean of 3.55, 3.48, 3.48, 3.40, 4.15, 3.30, 3.48, 3.45, and 3.50 respectively. The following instructional aids and devices have a mean equivalent to sometimes namely: magazines/newspaper, radio, tape recorder, pitch pipe, still pictures, photographs, LCD projector, megaphone, balls, basketball ring, spirit level, charts, posters, diagrams, sketches, television, basketball, badminton, table tennis, baseball/softball, sepak takraw, basketball court, sepak takraw court, badminton court, and table tennis court with a mean of 2.63, 2.75, 2.33, 2.03, 2.90, 3.13, 2.73, 3.15, 3.10, 2.85, 1.88, 3.08, 3.30, 2.85, 2.63, 2.78, 3.23, 3.28, 3.08, 2.68, 3.10, 3.20, 3.00, 3.30 and 2.68. Seldom used are the following: Pamphlets having a mean of 2.35, motion pictures of 2.15 mean and gymnasium with a 1.88 mean. The results further reveal that the teacher respondents by no means used a balance beam, swimming pool, baseball and softball ground and track and field. This is so since these are not available in their respective schools. Instructional aids and devices are highly important in teaching, especially for inexperienced teachers. Teachers rely on instructional materials in every aspect of teaching. They need materials for background information on the subject they are teaching. Young teachers usually have not built up their expertise whenever they enter into the field. Teachers often use instructional materials for lesson planning. These materials are also needed by teachers to assess the knowledge of their students. Teachers often assess students by assigning tasks, creating projects, and 61 administering exams. Instructional materials are essential for all of these activities. Teachers are often expected to create their own lesson plans. This can be difficult, especially if the teacher has limited background knowledge on the subject. Teachers are expected to have a wide variety of expertise in many different fields. Often, they need instructional aides to supplement their knowledge. Instructional materials can help provide background knowledge on the subject the teacher is planning for and offer suggestions for lesson plans. Lesson planning is often the most stressful aspect of teaching. Teachers are usually dependent on them to do their job properly. Assessing students correctly can sometimes be a challenge. There is some controversy about the effectiveness of exams in assessing the ability of students. Instructional materials can offer some insight into the best methods of creating exams. These materials can also help teachers create assignments and project ideas for students. Teachers are required to use several different methods to assess their students in order to provide the most accurate assessments. Instructional materials often provide innovative and creative ways to assess students’ performance. It is hard to imagine any teacher who is capable of teaching effectively without the accompaniment of instructional materials. In addition to this, any teacher who is deprived of instructional materials most likely experiences stress and anxiety on a daily basis. 1.5 Learning Content Another component of instruction considered in this study is the learning content. Learning content can be thought of much more broadly and inclusively. This could mean that learning content could actually include not only the ―whats‖ but the ―hows‖ of 62 learning. The teachers’ has the copy of the all the learning competencies given by the Department of Education supposed to be taught to the students for the whole school year. The Philippine Secondary School Learning Competencies (PSSLC) is a curriculum guide which complies the competencies set by the Department of Education in all levels from first to fourth year high school in all learning areas. The learning content is sub-divided into music, arts, physical education, and health since they are the components of MAPEH. Table 12, shows the result of the data gathered for the learning content in Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health. Table 12 Learning Content of Instruction in MAPEH Learning Component Music Arts Physical Education Health Grand Mean Mean 2.78 2.90 4.23 4.20 3.53 Verbal Description The learning content had been 33% to 66% covered The learning content had been 33% to 66% covered The learning content had been 100% covered The learning content had been 100% covered The learning content had 67-99% covered The first and second component of MAPEH considered by the researcher is the teaching of music and arts in MAPEH classes. It is shown in the table that the learning content for music and arts had been 33%-66% attained. This means that there are those teacher respondents who have covered the learning competencies in Music and Arts; however, there are teacher respondents who have not covered the learning content as was seen by the researcher in the responses of the teacher respondents. This is because out of 40 respondents 17 of them were not MAPEH related majors and others do not have any background about teaching music and arts. It was also because of the limited instructional 63 aids and devices available that makes the teaching dull; that is why the result comes out as 33% to 66% attained. The third and fourth component of MAPEH is the Physical Education and Health. A mean of 4.23 in physical education and 4.20 in health was an excellent result which means that learning competencies had been 100% attained. This implies that the teacher respondents are very much concerned with their students learning all about physical education and health that are supposed to be taught to their students. The Performances of the students’ based on the most recent 2012 Central Luzon Regional Athletic Association (CLRAA) result was good because the Tarlac City Schools went 6th placer. It was a great fight because out of the 18 provinces who participated in the said sports competition, the Tarlac City spot the 6th place. This is one of the proof that the hard work of the teachers in teaching the students all the learning content plus the effort of the teachers in training the students in sports make the Tarlac City Schools proud that we are not left behind by the other school provinces participating in the CLRAA competition. Music education is a field of study associated with the teaching and learning of music. It touches on all domains of learning, including the psychomotor domain (the development of skills), the cognitive domain (the acquisition of knowledge) and in particular and significant ways, the affective domain, including music appreciation and sensitivity. The incorporation of music training from preschool to postsecondary education is common in most nations because involvement in music is considered a fundamental component of human culture and behavior. Music, like 64 language, is an accomplishment that distinguishes us as humans. The arts are essential to every child's education, which is why the arts are one of the core academic subjects in the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). In addition to studying the arts for their own sake, experiencing and making works of art benefits students in their intellectual, personal, and social development, and can be particularly beneficial for students from economically disadvantaged circumstances and those who are at risk of not succeeding in school. Research studies point to strong relationships between learning in the arts and fundamental cognitive skills and capacities used to master other core subjects, including reading, writing, and mathematics. Physical education is, quite literally, education through the physical. A quality physical education program will provide a variety of well-planned activities for all children while acknowledging the importance of developing a physically literate individual capable of sustaining an active and healthy lifestyle. There are three learning domains covered in physical education: psychomotor, cognitive, and affective. It is through a positive movement experience that a physical educator can address the development of the whole child. The grand mean of 3.53 equivalents to learning competencies had been 67%-99% attained which means that learning content were covered by almost all the teacher respondents. Competencies within different contexts may require different bundles of skills, knowledge and attitudes. The challenge is to determine which competencies can be bundled together to provide the optimal grouping for performing tasks. Another challenge 65 is designing learning experiences that support students as they practice using and applying these competencies in different context. Continual refinement of defined competencies is necessary so that enhanced performance in a variety of contexts can be assessed. 1.6 Learning Experiences Learning experiences were designed by the teachers teaching the subject depending on the students’ interests and on the lesson being taught by the teacher. Learning experiences are a way to think about what a learning intervention might be in the context of desired end goals and outcomes. They are largely student-centered and can be used in variety of ways. Some activities are clearly designed for use with the whole class. Other tasks could be undertaken by pairs or individuals. Teachers are encouraged to use this resource flexibility and to adapt activities to their local context. The learners analyze their experience by reflecting, evaluating and reconstructing it individually or collectively in order to draw meaning from it in the light of prior experience. In every situation, someone finds themselves in as a learning experience. Learners are experiencing something that, hopefully, results in a change in thinking, understanding, or behavior afterwards. Another indicator of instruction in MAPEH that is considered by the researcher is learning experiences.

Music refers to the component of MAPEH learning area that focuses on the basis elements including sound and its basic properties, the rhythm and melody, harmony and texture and the form and style. Incorporated with varied activities, the students are expected to develop concepts that would enhance their skills in singing, playing, listening, reading, moving and creating. This would also develop their appreciation of the world’s music and would help them to become musically sounded individuals. 68 The findings in art activities have a grand mean of 2.21 with a verbal description means sometimes. It implies that MAPEH teachers make use of different art activities to display the creativity of the learners. Drawing was the number one in the list with a mean of 2.60 with a verbal description means always. There are activities that were only taught sometimes. These are: Recycling, Painting, Collage, Sculpture and Photography with a mean of 2.48, 2.30, 2.13, 2.00 and 1.73 respectively. The opportunities open to art education are many, enhancing the value structure of the students and more effectively fostering conviction and action of the Filipino ideology in improving the quality of their work through an infusion of the artistic sensitivity and standards, enabling the student to realize full potential and of teaching personal traits through the discipline and thinking process involved in artistic creation and participation. The therapeutic potential of art cannot be overemphasized. It is through free expression that the individual’s character blossom and bear fruits and the man in the person emerges. The creative potential of man comes to the fore in an atmosphere of freedom. The function of providing, guiding, entertaining activities which are therapeutic living freedom for expression should permeate in the classroom of fast, average and slow learners. Art refers to the component of MAPEH learning area which provide the student an opportunity to access/encounter with the arts, specifically those that were created by Filipinos themselves either influences or without influences that develop the student capacity to perceive, understand and appreciate works through the study of the organization of various elements, mediums, techniques and develop also a critical and 69 analytical mind which are vital to his judgment of a work of art, and at the same time enjoying them. The art provides balance in the curriculum that is particularly important for the development of the whole person. It assists the child in realizing his full potential by providing answer for self-discovery and for harmonizing the mind, body and spirit. As to Physical Education activities, the following were always experienced by the students since they are always taught by the teacher respondents: volleyball, basketball, badminton with means of 2.63, 2.60 and 2.60. Majority of the teacher respondents are always including these activities in their lessons in MAPEH. Other activities taught only sometimes by the teacher respondents were the following: Athletics, Guessing game, parlor games, relay, sack race, tug of war, throwing, softball, baseball, cheering with means of 2.20, 2.13, 2.13, 2.0, 2.0, 1.75, 1.73, 1.60, 1.60, 1.60 respectively. There are activities that were never taught by the teacher respondents. These are obstacle race, soccer, lawn tennis, cycling, hiking, kite flying, climbing, swimming, golf, and surfing with respective means of 1.50, 1.33, 1.18, 1.08, 1.05, 1.05, 1.05, 1.1, 1.0 and 1.0. These were never taught because these activities need equipment that are not available in the schools. Outdoor education, training and recreation promote active learning though direct personal experience and offer excitement, fun and adventure within a framework of safety. Active learning and outdoor adventures can take place in a variety of environments; rural and urban, local and more remote. Outdoor education, training and 70 recreation involve both young people and adults in a wide range of experiences, including adventurous activities on land and water and activities with an environmental focus. Methods used include skills-focused learning, problem solving, team building and selfreliant journeys and activities. Challenging outdoor experience impacts powerfully upon a young person’s intellectual, physical, spiritual, social and moral development. Use of the outdoors makes a major contribution to physical and environmental education and enhances many other curriculum areas. It contributes to personal growth and social awareness and develops skills for life and the world of work. Qualities such as a sense of responsibility and a purpose in life are nurtured. There is also a great deal of intrinsic enjoyment and satisfaction to be experienced from participation in outdoor activities. With regards to health activities the result comes out that ―Proper hygiene and sanitation‖ was always taught to the students because hygiene is a habit that needs to be focused on and inculcated in children at an early age. And it need not be restricted to our bodies alone; it needs to be maintained in our surroundings as well. Role playing and giving first aid were taught only sometimes with a mean of 2.45 and 2.38. Role-playing is a teaching strategy that fits within the social family of models (Joyce and Weil, 2000). These strategies emphasize the social nature of learning, and see cooperative behavior as stimulating students both socially and intellectually. Roleplaying as a teaching strategy offers several advantages for both teacher and student. First, student interest in the topic raised. Research has shown that ―integrating 71 experiential learning activities in the classroom increases interest in the subject matter and understanding of the course content‖ (Poorman, 2002). Fogg (2001) tells of a college professor who felt that his history classes were boring and not involving the students. After trying our role-playing type game one semester, he observed that students were much more interested in the material. Secondly, there is increased involvement on the part of the students in a role-playing lesson. Students are not passive recipients of the instructor’s knowledge. Rather, the take an active part. Poorman (2002) observes that ―true learning cannot take place when students are passive observers of the teaching process‖. A third advantage to using role-playing as a teaching strategy is that it teaches empathy and understanding of different perspective (Poorman, 2002). A typical roleplaying activity would have students taking on a role of a character, learning and acting as that individual would do in the typical setting. Poorman (20002) found ―a significant increase among students in feeling another’s distress as their own‖. On the other hand, it is important to teach First Aid to the students so that it could help them or others that may be injured in case of emergency. The chances of someone recovering more easily, or even surviving an accident or injury can be greatly improved if someone immediately uses first aid knowledge to help assist them. 1.7 Time Allotment The last indicator as gauge of instruction in MAPEH is time allotment. Table 14, shows the result of the study. 72 Table 14 Time Allotment in MAPEH Instruction Time Allotment The sixty (60) minutes per week time allotment is enough to achieve the objectives of the lesson in music. The sixty (60) minutes per week time allotment is enough to achieve the objectives of the lesson in arts. The sixty (60) minutes per week time allotment is enough to achieve the objectives of the lesson in physical education. The sixty (60) minutes per week time allotment is enough to achieve the objectives of the lesson in health. Grand Mean Mean Verbal Description 3.33 Satisfied 3.30 Satisfied 3.55 Much Satisfied 3.56 Much Satisfied 3.44 Much Satisfied The time allotment for each component of MAPEH, music, arts, physical education and health were all satisfactory to the teacher respondents. Accordingly, the sixty minutes per week per component is enough to achieve the objectives of the lessons in the four (4) different components of MAPEH. Principals and teachers are responsible for ensuring that a reasonable and productive balance of time exists among all subject areas to enable students to achieve designated curriculum outcomes. In each curriculum area, some outcomes and clusters of outcomes require discrete allotment of instructional time, while others may be integrated effectively with those of other subject areas. Integrated curriculum units reflect and illuminate connections among the outcomes in various subject areas. 2. Strong or Weak Components of MAPEH Based upon the findings of the study, the component music and arts are the weak components while physical education and health are the strong components. Table 15 presents the grand means of the different components. 73 Table 15 Strong or Weak Components of MAPEH Learning Component Music Arts Physical Education Health Grand Mean Mean 2.78 2.90 4.23 4.20 3.53 Verbal Description The learning content had been 33% to 66% covered The learning content had been 33% to 66% covered The learning content had been 100% covered The learning content had been 100% covered The learning content had 67-99% covered It can be gleaned from the table that the learning competencies of physical education and health were all covered by majority of the teacher respondents but there are some who have slightly covered them. On the other hand, the learning competencies of music and arts were slightly covered by the teacher respondents. This means that only few teacher respondents have covered them while most of the teacher respondents have slightly covered the prescribed competencies. There were many reasons why the weak component of MAPEH subject were the Music and Arts. First, some schools had teachers who have no music backgrounds but were teaching music and arts. In doing so, they may actually be putting their students at a disadvantage not only in music, but in other areas of the curriculum as well. The teacher respondents find themselves more comfortable teaching Physical Education and Health than Music and Arts subjects. The fact that it was almost half of the respondents who were teaching MAPEH but not MAPEH related majors was one of the main reasons why some of the prescribed learning competencies were not covered. Many of them had an insufficient background and having a hard time teaching Music and Arts subject that is why it turned out that Music and Arts were the weak components. Second, the availability of the instructional aids and devices in teaching Music and Arts were limited. 74 Lastly, when schools experience budget constraints, the music and arts are often the first areas to feel the pinch. Public Schools cannot afford to purchase musical instruments for the teachers’ and students’ use because the prices of the musical instruments nowadays are very expensive. When the students hear the subject ―MAPEH‖ nevertheless the first thing that always comes out their minds was ―playing‖ but this perception has changed since all of the components Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health were given equal time to develop the students in all aspects of MAPEH. Proposed Instructional Plan to Improve MAPEH Instruction The following are suggestions to improve the teaching of MAPEH. These are based on the weaknesses found in this study. Table 16 Proposal to Improve MAPEH Instruction Weak Areas A. The Teachers Objectives Strategies MAPEH teachers’ weak performance in teaching music and arts subject. - Encourage the MAPEH teachers to attend seminars/workshops on Music and Arts subject. - Improve the - Request MAPEH achievement level department heads of the students in and master teachers MAPEH in the MAPEH department as resource person Distributing MAPEH - Minimize teachers loads to teachers not handling a subject MAPEH related major not within their area of specialization to improve students level performance - Convince the not MAPEH majors to upgrade themselves and qualify them more to their handled subjects. Success Indicators - Increase the confidence of the students and build positive attitudes towards MAPEH and Sports 75 B. Instructional Aids and Devices Limited Instructional Teachers can use materials available instructional materials which are relevant and attractive to the present breed or learners. - Purchase more audio-visual materials. If budget is inadequate,teachers, administrators and parents could join hands to generate funds. - Teachers use modern teaching materials such as TV,DVD,CD and computers. - Looks for the public agencies or private individuals for donations. - There is a place in the school where instructional materials are kept so that everyone can use them by taking turns. - Link with private institutions whose advocates include helping secondary elementary schools with facilities such as computers being given by TV networks. C. Facilities and Equipment 1. Lack of Equipment - Acquisition of -Fund Raising and Facilities Sports Equipment - Donations and Facilities 2. Limited school space for Sports activities. - Seek alternative - Ask permission/ place for physical assistance to education activities. Government Officials - Acquired sports equipment and facilities A marked increase in performance and achievements 76 3. Difficulty of availing facilities outside of the school that can be used for sports activities - Avail facilities - Request assistance outside of the to Municipal School Government Officials - Availed facilities outside of the school that could be used for physical activities. D. Learning Experiences Failure to strengthen - Increase students the Learning maximum experiences due to participation in lack of resources MAPEH activities. available. - Conduct trainings for sports clinic, Intramural, exposure trip to actual games, music festival, and art exhibits. - 100% increased in students’ participation have been achieved - Motivate the students to show their potential/ skills in Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health Activities The above proposal is for the implementation of improved MAPEH instruction. It is with high hopes that the above proposal may help improve the weaknesses of MAPEH instruction and weaknesses will be improved and become strengths as well, thus improving students’ performance level. 4. Implication of the Study to Educational Management On the basis of the findings, the division Supervisors and Principals should provide more intensive MAPEH in-service trainings and seminar-workshops for teachers especially with the new curriculum of the K to 12 program. They should conduct rigid follow-up of the carry-over of implementation of knowledge and skills developed in- 77 service trainings program. Quality instruction is one of the primary concerns of every learning institution. The front liners in the realization of this objective are the teachers for they are in control in the learning of objective-oriented activities that dictate the flow of pedagogical process. School administrators should take a closer look into the end result of this study and realize the need of improving their utilization and management of human resources. Caution in meeting the guidelines and standards in teachers to their area of specialization and proper load distribution should be given importance. Relevant to the situation, as always believed, prevention is better than cure, it is therefore imperative to start the correction from the hiring phase for if newly hired teachers are no difference with the existing stock of teachers and be given loads not within their specialization the very purpose of aiming for academic excellence will just be defeated. As for the teachers already in the circumstances, effort should be made in order to upgrade themselves and qualify them more to their handled subjects for the benefit of the learners. It is therefore significant for school administration to persuade the teachers to undergo training or better yet offer them appropriate opportunities for their professional development that will really address the specific needs, knowledge, and priorities expressed by them. There were significant gains derived from the different use of methodologies and strategies in teaching. This means that the strategy is one of the many methods which can be used in teaching. This is possible because the teacher has to exert effort to prepare for class instruction. The teacher has to prepare all the materials to be used to make learning successful. It is its novelty and extra preparation done by the teacher that makes the 78 teaching meaningful. This is what makes the difference, the teacher exert much effort in teaching and improvising instructional materials, and when the students get more motivated, they themselves will learn to appreciate the things they see and do in class aside from the traditional things they are used to. The extra effort pays. The reward is the improved results in students learning. In addition, the chalk and board was found to stand as the most used instructional materials but teachers have to be careful in using it since according to Trudeau (2005) presentations overflowing with verbiage keep students too busy along to listen to what the teacher is saying, which is detrimental, especially if the teacher adds additional notes. Irrelevant or anecdotal information can confuse the students. A rule of thumb is to display the amount of worlds on the board that would fit on a T-shirt. Teachers should refer to the notes throughout the lecture to keep students on track. Utilization of variety of instructional needs is required to ensure effective delivery of instruction in the field necessary to bring out the best in teaching and learning process. Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health components are part of the curriculum and each component has its own set of concepts and strategies. All lessons have been designed to complement, relate with and enhance one another. Learning experiences are a way to think about what a learning intervention might be in the context of desired end goals and outcomes. This can then inform our choices about how communication channels and modes, learning activities, and resources come together to best support the end goals and outcomes, and also how these channels and activities may evolve over time. Certainly in this context, a learning intervention is something that is much more than what has traditionally been thought as ―content‖. 79 The finding of this study would give vital information to educational managers in setting up in-service programs that will sustain, enhance or develop the teaching abilities of the teachers for more effective teaching. Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the MAPEH instruction may provide essential information in the crafting of the Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) of teachers or even Professional Development Programs that may assist the teachers enhance and improve their teaching. 80 Chapter 5 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This chapter presents the summary of the findings, the conclusions drawn from the results of the study and the recommendations derived from the conclusions of the study. Summary of Findings The salient findings of the study were: 1. Description of MAPEH Instruction The researcher’s main objective was to describe MAPEH instruction in terms of the teachers’ profile, facilities and equipment, teaching methodologies and strategies, instructional aids and devices, learning content, learning experiences, and time allotment. 1.1 Teachers’ Profile The teachers’ profile described the teacher’s major or field of specialization in the undergraduate degree, highest educational attainment, status of employment and position. 1.1.1 Teachers’ Undergraduate Degree For the teachers’ profile, the researcher looked into the teachers’ undergraduate degree. Twenty (20) or 50.0% of the respondents were PEHM major, two (2) or 5.0% were PE and Health majors while there is only one (1) 0r 2.5% music major. There were seventeen (17) or 42.5% of the respondents who were teaching MAPEH but are not major in any MAPEH related subject. 81 It is worth taking note that there were twenty three (23) or 57.5% who were at least MAPEH related majors. 1.1.2 Teachers’ Highest Educational Attainment For the highest educational attainment of the teacher respondents, all the teacher respondents were college degree holders, a great number of the respondents in fact, thirty five (35) or 87.5% while there were five (5) or 12.5% of the teachers who were master’s degree holder. It is noticeable that not one of the teacher respondents has finished a doctorate degree. 1.1.3 Teachers’ Status of Employment For the status of employment, most of the teacher respondents were on a permanent status, that is, thirty two (32) or 80.0% while eight (8) or 20.0% were on a contractual basis appointment. There were no substitute teachers among the respondents. 1.1.4 Teachers’ Position or Rank As to the teachers’ position or rank, it was revealed that most of the teacher respondents were Teacher I, thirty five (35) or 87.5% of them were just on the first step of the rank, one (1) or 2.5% were Teacher II, and four (4) or 10.0% were Teacher III. There were no teacher respondents who were Master Teachers. 1.1.5 Competency-Based Performance: Appraisal System for Teachers For the CB-PAST result, there were 6 or 15% who were rated outstanding while there were 34 or 85% who were being rated as very satisfactory. Good evaluations 82 identify excellent teachers of all skill levels understand how they can improve. Teachers are commonly promoted on the basis of a rating given by the principal. 1.2 Facilities The researcher determined if the facilities of the respondent schools were usable, adequate and available. For the facilities, volleyball court, basketball court, badminton court were usable, adequate and available every now and then or 33% - 66% of the time. The usability, adequacy and availability of such facilities depend on the priority of the student’s activities. Grandstand/Gymnasium was seldom usable/adequate/available or 1% - 32%. An audiovisual room, track ovals, baseball/softball diamond, horizontal bars, music room and dance room had not been usable/adequate/available or zero percent (0%) usable, adequate and available. The grand mean of 2.08 equivalents to seldom usable, adequate and available 1% to 32% of the time means that the schools may have incomplete facilities and since not all of the school respondents have a covered court, they can play the ball games one at a time using vacant spaces inside the campus. 1.3 Methodologies and Strategies The researcher also looked into the teachers’ methods and strategies as indicators for this study. 83 1.3.1 Methodologies The lecture method was always the method being used by almost all the teacher respondents with a mean of 4.30. Practice and drill method, demonstration and direct instructional/expository method had a mean of 4.03, 3.93 and 3.70 which means often for the reason that in the teaching of MAPEH, students can perfectly execute and drill a certain activity if well demonstrated by the teacher compare to just lecturing without a concrete example. The grand mean of 3.99 with a verbal description means often is an indication that there were different methodologies applicable in teaching MAPEH in the sense that teachers knew that the use of common methodologies in the learning process were effective. 1.3.2 Strategies For the strategies used by the teacher respondents, the data gathered revealed that playing games was the topmost strategy being used by the teacher respondents. The grand mean of 3.81 means that all the other strategies were being used by the teacher respondents that is why the grand mean was equivalent to often since from time to time different strategies were being used by the teacher respondents. 1.4 Instructional Aids and Devices The researcher also considered the availability of instructional aids and devices used by the teacher respondents in teaching MAPEH and how often these instructional aids and devices were being used. 84 1.4.1 Availability of Instructional Aids and Devices The instructional aids considered in this study were the audio, the visual and the audiovisual aids. The findings revealed that 100% of the respondent schools have chalkboard always available and ready to use by the teachers. Most of the respondent schools have a 75% to 87.5% of the following instructional materials available, namely: textbooks (35 or 87.5%), reference book (35 or 87.5%), photographs (31 or 77.5%), illustrations (32 or 80.0%), weighing scale (30 or 75%),chess set (33 or 82.5%), Balls (31 or 77.5%), whistle (37 or 87.5%), megaphone (31 or 77.5%), charts (30 or 75.0%), posters (32 or 80.0%), drawings (33 or 82.5%) and pictures (32 or 80.0%). 1.4.2 Frequency of Use of the Instructional Aids and Devices The researcher also looked into how frequent were the instructional aids and devices being used in their teaching of MAPEH. The results showed that the following instructional aids and devices were always used by the teacher respondents in their teaching of MAPEH: chalkboard and textbooks were the number one in the list with a 5.0 and 4. 18 mean. Other instructional aids and devices were used often namely: supplemental materials, reference book, illustrations, weighing scale, chess set, whistle, drawings, pictures, volleyball court, with a mean of 3.48, 4.15, 3.30, 3.55, 3.40, 3.48,3.48, 3.45, and 3.50 respectively. The results further revealed that the teacher respondents by no means used a balance beam, swimming pool, baseball and softball ground and track and field. This is so since these were not available in their respective schools. 85 1.5 Learning Content Another component of instruction considered for this study was the learning content. The learning content were sub-divided into music, arts, physical education, and health since these are the components of MAPEH. The first and second component of MAPEH considered by the researcher was the teaching of music and arts in MAPEH classes. The data gathered for this study revealed that the learning content for music and arts had been 33%-66% attained. The third and fourth component of MAPEH is the Physical Education and Health. A mean of 4.23 in physical education and 4.20 in health was an excellent result which means that learning competencies had been 100% attained by almost all of the teacher respondents. The grand mean of 3.53 equivalents to learning competencies had been 67%-99% attained which means that learning content were covered by almost all the teacher respondents. 1.6 Learning Experiences Another indicator of instruction in MAPEH that is considered by the researcher was the learning experiences. In music activities, all the indicators were sometimes experienced by the students as taught by the teachers. The findings in art activities had a grand mean of 2.21 with a verbal description means sometimes. Drawing was the number one in the list with a mean of 2.60 with a verbal description means always. As to physical education activities, the following were always experienced by the students since these were always taught by the teacher respondents: volleyball, 86 basketball, badminton with means of 2.63, 2.60 and 2.60. Majority of the teacher respondents were always including these activities in their lessons in MAPEH. With regards to health activities the result comes out that ―Proper hygiene and sanitation‖ was always taught to the students. Role playing and giving first aid were taught only sometimes with a mean of 2.45 and 2.38. 1.7 Time Allotment The last indicator as gauge of instruction in MAPEH was time allotment. The time allotment for each component of MAPEH, music, arts, physical education and health were all satisfactory to the teacher respondents. Accordingly, the sixty minutes per week per component was enough to achieve the objectives of the lessons in the four (4) different components of MAPEH. 2. Strong or Weak Components of MAPEH Based upon the findings of the study, the component music and arts were the weak components while physical education and health were the strong components. Conclusions Based on the salient findings of the study, the researcher draws the following conclusions: 1. Almost half of the respondents were not MAPEH related Major. 2. Not one of the teacher respondents has finished a doctorate degree and majority of the respondents are on a permanent status and on a teacher I position. 3. The teachers were one in the use of teaching methods and strategies in MAPEH. 87 4. There were minimal available instructional materials used by the teachers in teaching MAPEH. 5. The teachers, facilities, instructional aids and devices and learning experiences were the weak components of MAPEH. 6. Learning experiences were designed by the teachers for the students first hand experiences. 7. The time allotment for each component of Music, Arts, Physical Education were all satisfactory to the teacher respondents. Recommendations Based on the conclusions drawn for the study, the researcher highly recommends the following: 1. The school administration should provide avenue for workshops and trainings so that MAPEH teachers will trained, enhanced and motivated in the use of various teaching methods and strategies of teaching MAPEH. 2. The principals should have intensive classroom observation of MAPEH teachers to upgrade and improve the teaching of MAPEH. 3. For the administrators to give opportunities for MAPEH teachers to attend workshop-seminar/in service trainings, to be able to improve and upgrade skills. New instructional aids and devices, facilities and instructional materials be provided to aid teachers in the teaching of MAPEH. These will also help in giving the students the learning experiences they need for the better learning and retention. 4. Incentives should be given to teachers for the job well done in any sports or 88 musical competition so that teachers will be motivated to do well. 5. Encourage teachers to avail of scholarship grants in the field of Music and Arts since these were the considered weak components of the MAPEH subject. 6. Identification of the strengths and weaknesses of the teachers will serve as basis for training and professional developments so that the strengths will be enhanced and the weaknesses will be improved and become strengths as well. 7. It is highly recommended that a regular Learning (LAC) sessions in every school should be conducted for the improvisation of sports facilities and instructional materials. 8. It is also recommended that further research on the subject be conducted on a wider scale so that status of teaching Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) will be better appraised and enhanced. 89 BIBLIOGRAPHY A.
