Abstract

This study aims to analyze the learning resources and learning competencies in teaching Araling Panlipunan towards students? outcomes. The researcher of the study tried to determine the following: the status of learning resources used by the teacher; the level of learning competencies applied by the teacher; the level of student outcomes in Araling Panlipunan; the significant relationship between the learning resources to students? outcomes in Araling Panlipunan; the significant relationship between learning applied by the teacher to students? outcomes in Araling Panlipunan? The study utilized a descriptive method using a questionnaire in a form of checklist distributed to selected grade 7-10 students of Don Manuel Rivera Memorial Integrated National High School. Mean and standard deviation were used to determine the status of learning resources used by the teacher in terms of PowerPoint presentation, graphic organizers, and journals. This is also used to determine the level of learning competencies applied by the teacher in terms of mastery of the subject matter, teaching strategies, classroom management and evaluation skills. Similarly mean and standard deviation was used to determine the level of student?s outcomes in terms of refined critical thinking skills, demonstrated self-motivation, and Improved mutual communication and collaboration. On the other hand, Pearson Product Moment Correlation need to determine the significant relationship between the learning resources and learning competencies to students? outcomes. The statistical treatment of gathered data revealed the following findings: The level of teacher?s competencies using the learning resources in terms of PowerPoint Presentation, graphic organizers, and journals are very high, with the overall mean of 3.55, 3.51, and 3.56, respectively. It can imply that the teachers used to carry out instruction and facilitate learning towards achieving the student's educational goals. While the level of learning competencies applied by the teacher in terms of mastery of the subject, teaching strategies, classroom management, and evaluations skills are also very high, which obtained a mean of 3.63, 3.52, 3.52, and 3.49. It can be infered those teachers are all competent and qualified to deliver instructions, manage the classroom, and evaluate the students. Also, student outcomes in Araling Panlipunan in terms of refined critical thinking skills, demonstrated self-motivation, improved mutual communication, and collaboration are also very similar, which got an overall mean of 3.49, 3.54, and 3.48. The results imply that the students know how to regulate their knowledge, build their confidence, and allow themselves to explore. Furthermore, power point presentations, graphic organizers, journals, and newspapers used by the teachers contribute to the improvement of student's Improved Mutual Communication and Collaboration through creating interactive presentations with the inclusion of pictures and graphics that are applicable to the learners. Lasty, mastery of the subject matter, teaching strategies, classroom management, and evaluation skills used by the teachers contribute to the improvement of student?s demonstrated self-motivation and are applicable to the learners. In view of the findings and conclusion of the study, the following recommendations were given: (1) Teachers should use effective learning materials that can help them teach and improve the students? learning outcomes by integrating creative materials in their discussion and/or assessment. (2) Students must continuously improve their critical thinking, motor skills, and collaboration by participating in and doing activities that could help them. (3) Teachers have to maintain their good qualities and characteristics to continually improve the students' learning outcomes in Araling Panlipunan and other subjects. (4) Teachers and schools must involve the students in other tasks and performances to help them improve their skills and abilities. Providing appropriate instructional materials and resources is also essential and (5) Developing other innovations in instructional materials is recommended to increase students? learning outcomes in different fields. Modification and improvement in teaching may also be enhance if needed to constructively address the needs of the students.
