CHAPTER 1
Introduction
It should ignite interest among
the readers, lay the extensive
foundation for the problem that
leads to the study, place the study
within the larger context of the
scholarly literature, and reach to
a specific reader. A lot depends
on your creativity, your ability to
think clearly and the depth o your
understanding of problem areas.
A. Ideal
Central to the premise of DepEd Order No. 83 s. 2012
or the Implementing Guidelines on the Revised
School-based Management (SBM) Framework,
Assessment Process and Tool (APAT), School-Based
Management (SBM) is a DepEd thrust that
decentralizes the decision. It is a strategy to improve
education by transferring significant decision-making
authority from state and district offices to individual
schools. SBM provides principals, teachers, students,
and parents greater control over the education
process by giving them responsibility for decisions
about the budget, personnel, and the curriculum.
B. Current Situation
Schools Division of Canlaon remained compliant to the
SBM standards as it unceasingly provides its thirty-nine (39)
schools the avenue for empowerment enabling them to inform
wise management-related decisions and appropriately respond
to learning needs and issues in their respective communities. In
spite of all efforts, 37 or 87.18% of schools remained to be on
the lowest level in their SBM Level of Practice as surfaced from
the latest SBM validation conducted in 2019. Additionally, 3 or
7.69% were assessed to be on Level 2 while only 2 (5.13%) of
the 39 schools have met the documentary requirements for
Level 3. This strongly suggest the need for a system of M&E to
constantly communicate the current and the future
management outputs, outcomes and impact concerning the
operations and governance of schools.
C. Direction
It is always the strongest desire of the researcher of making
schools a place grounded on mechanism that ensures quality in the
critical systems, processes, outputs, and outcomes at various
management aspects to bring about improved learning outcomes,
continuous improvement and better technical and management
services. It should be supported by the interlocking processes of SBM
standards, monitoring and evaluation policies that systematically
provide educators timely information useful for planning and for
making decisions and adjustments. This can only be achieved through
authentic SBM Level of Practice by meeting the standards set forth
the Technical Assistance Needs Assessment (TA-NA) SBM Level of
Practice Validation Tool. Along this, the School Management,
Monitoring and Evaluation Section of the School Governance and
Operations Division aspire to increase the number of schools meeting
Level II in their SBM Level of Practice.
D. Intervention.
It is with the above consideration that Project I
ExcELS (Institutional Excellence from Exemplary
Leadership in Schools) was conceptualized. This
project will provide schools the enabling opportunities
for them to break the glass ceiling which impedes
them from reaching their educational targets. This
will inspire everyone in the academic community to
collectively say, I EXCEL in School.

CHAPTER 1
Framework of the Study
States the anchor point of the study.
It can be either conceptual or theoretical
in nature or combination of both.
It is presents the independent and
dependent variables of the study under
focus.
Conceptual and Theoretical Framework
Spiral progression is one of the facets of the K to 12 Curriculum. Students are encouraged to
continuously reflect on their experiences to make meaning. Students find their ideas gaining in
complexity and power, and they develop increasingly strong abilities to integrate new information.
Generally, this way of teaching and learning is central to the premise of Constructivists’ theory.
The present study is anchored on Constructivism as a learning theory which explains how
people might acquire knowledge and learn. It therefore has direct application to education. The
theory suggests that humans construct knowledge and meaning from their experiences.
Constructivism is not a specific pedagogy. Piaget's theory of Constructivist learning has wide ranging
impact on learning theories and teaching methods in education and is an underlying theme of many
education reform movements. Research support for constructivist teaching techniques has been
mixed, with some research supporting these techniques and other research contradicting those
results (www.sydney.edu.au/education_social_work/learning_teaching/ict/theory/
constructivism.shtml)
Contrary to criticisms by some (conservative) educators, constructivism does not dismiss the
active role of the teacher or the value of expert knowledge. Constructivism modifies that role, so that
teachers help students to construct knowledge rather than to reproduce a series of facts. The constructivist
teacher provides tools such as problem-solving and inquiry-based learning activities with which students
formulate and test their ideas, draw conclusions and inferences, and pool and convey their knowledge in a
collaborative learning environment. Constructivism transforms the student from a passive recipient of
information to an active participant in the learning process. Always guided by the teacher, students
construct their knowledge actively rather than just mechanically ingesting knowledge from the teacher or
the textbook.
Constructivism is also often misconstrued as a learning theory that compels students to "reinvent
the wheel." In fact, constructivism taps into and triggers the student's innate curiosity about the world and
how things work. Students do not reinvent the wheel but, rather, attempt to understand how it turns, how
it functions. They become engaged by applying their existing knowledge and real-world experience,
learning to hypothesize, testing their theories, and ultimately drawing conclusions from their findings.
This is the key reason why the 21st
Century educators are encouraged to incorporate information design
technology such as Prezi technology into the lesson presentation. Using it in an educational context will
allow educators to create and map ideas, images, videos, then show overview, zoom details, amaze and
convince.
The schematic diagram on the next page illustrates the focus of this investigation.
Both the theoretical and conceptual
framework of the study gives vivid
explanations regarding the relationship of
the variables. The conceptual framework
of the investigation presents the
researcher’s own way of understanding
and concepts based upon the previous
readings and experiences relative to the
field or focus of the investigation.
The theoretical framework uses
abstract concepts, facts or laws,
variables and relations that
explain and predict how observed
phenomena exist and operate in
the investigation
CHAPTER 1
Definition of Terms
List in alphabetical order and define
the major terms used in the study.
Emphasis should be placed on
operational or behavioral definitions.
CHAPTER 1
Definition of Terms
Terms are define conceptually and
operationally. In conceptual, the
meaning of the term is usually taken
from the dictionary. Operational
definition is based on an observed
characteristics and how it is used in
the study.
Definition of Terms
In order to provide an adequate channel of
communication between the researcher and the
readers, the following terms, arranged
alphabetically, are defined conceptually and
operationally:
Control Group. This group is somewhat identical
to the other group that is being featured with the
exception that it does not receive the treatment or
the experimental manipulation(
www.ncsu.edu/labwrite/Experimental%20Design
/controltreatmentgr.htm
).
As used in this study, this is a group of Fine
Arts students where discussion of topics was
done using PowerPoint presentation with lecture
discussion.
Terms are italicized for emphasis
and is followed by a period (.).
Conceptual definition comes
after the word and is supported
by a concrete source or
reference.
Operational definition appeared
in the next paragraph.
ExperimentalGroup.A group of subject
s who are exposed to the variable under
study(
www.dictionary.reference.com/browse/
experimental+group
).
As used in this study, this is a
group of Fine Arts students where
discussion of topics was done using
Prezi technology.
CHAPTER 1
Scope and Limitation of the Study
Scope. It addresses how a study will be narrowed,
and how it is bounded. This is a place to explain the
things that you are not doing and the reason behind.
This limit the discussion to things that a reader might
reasonably expect from the study. It usually includes
the general problem to be investigated including the
time frame or work.
Limitation. It identifies the potential weaknesses of
the study.
CHAPTER 1
Scope and Limitation of the Study
How have you narrowed the scope of
the study? Did you focus only on
selected aspects of the problem,
certain areas of interest, a limited
range of subjects, or particular level of
ability? What are the limitations
surrounding your study within which
conclusions must be confined.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study was quasi-experimental in
nature and focused among the 34 Fine
Arts students of St. Scholastica’s
Academy – Bacolod High School
Department during School Year 2013-
2014. The result was based on the data
gathered from the respondents’
performance in Fine Arts using
Powerpoint with lecture discussion and
prezi technology.
CHAPTER 1
Significance of the Study
This indicates how a research will refine, revise or
extend existing knowledge in the area under
investigation.
This establishes the implications on how the
results of the study may affect scholarly research,
theory, practice, educational interventions,
curricula, counseling and policy.
CHAPTER 1
Significance of the Study
The researcher must convince the
reader that the study has significant
contributions in relations to solving
educational problem, bridging a
knowledge gap, improving social,
economic and health conditions,
enriching research instrument and
methods and government thrusts.
Significance of the Study
The result of this study could benefit the following:
Educational Media Center.The output of this study can
be included as part of the visual and audio materials
usually provided for teachers to use in their instructional
program.
Other researchers. This may benefit them to pursue
related studies that will identify factors that can
contribute to a more effective and efficient implementation on
the use of Prezi technology as a teaching strategy.
The researcher must see to it that
the following are considered on
presenting the significance of the
study:
1.What impact will this have in the
future?
2.How will the results of the study
be implemented, and what
innovations will come about?
3. Will results influence
educational policy
decisions?
4. What will be
improved or changed as
a result of the proposed
research?
