This study aimed to examine the implementation of the Jigsaw approach in teaching primary social studies in Brunei Darussalam. The topic selected for this study was on 'The Reign of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III 1950 – 1967’. The sample consisted of 25 primary students in a Year 6 class. The methodology of this study was an action research. Among the instruments used were tests, observations, interviews, and students' journals. The findings showed that the students' test results had improved, indicating the effectiveness of the Jigsaw approach in teaching social studies. It was observed that there were positive developments in students’ communication skills as well as their participation in the class activities. The students' motivation to learn was mostly positive as they enjoyed learning cooperatively in the given activities. However, the challenge of implementing this Jigsaw approach was the role of the teacher as a facilitator in this approach. Future research should continue to examine the different ways of teaching social studies that could involve students' active participation in the teaching and learning process.
this presentation will help the science administrators and enthusiasts to understand the curriculum of the Science, technology, Engineering and Mathematics in the Philippines.

ABSTRACT
Test constructed by the teacher at the class room leve l at the end of a term or end of the year is referred to as school based examination (SBE) student often perform well in the SBE because items are drawn from topic covered by the class teacher. This study is to find out the predictive validity of SBE in relation to NECO and WAEC, SSCE. The population of the study was all (670) senior secondary school in Borno state. Student performance in SBE and WAEC and NECO in English language and history in senior secondary school in 2006, 2007 and 2008 were correlated. Purposive sampling was used in selecting the school. At the time of this study only three school were found to be offering English language but not history) one school in Gwoza zone and two in Maiduguri zone. These three schools were used as samples. The result of the analysis revealed that student’s performance SSCE IN WAEC and SSCE NECO was low but there performance in SBE is high. The student performance is low in English in NECO and WAEC because no student score A or B grade for the three years in school studied. While no student obtained A or B in NECO and WAEC, the student performance in history for the three years show that few student obtained A and B grades the researcher recommend that teacher in senior secondary schools should be made to go for workshops on test construction so that they can construct good test items to match WAEC and NECO standard.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

All persons have the right to education. However, poverty, ignorance, and corruption are depriving
millions of Filipinos the ability to improve their quality of life. Knowledge Channel Foundation, Inc.
improves the quality of education through Knowledge Channel.
--Knowledge Channel Foundation, Inc. Mission Statement
2. 2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Proficient Measures for Quality Education (PMQE) project was implemented in 52
selected schools distributed in 7 Regions, 14 Provinces, 15 Congressional Districts and
16 Cities in the Philippines.
The objective of this research is to determine the impact of the programs of the
Knowledge Channel on the performance of grade school pupils using a test-questionnaire
patterned after the National Achievement Test (NAT). The test-questionnaire consists of
60 items divided into three components, namely: Mathematics (20 items), Science (20
items) and English (20 items).
The 52 schools are divided into two groups for analysis of the impact. Group 1 (Laguna,
Cavite, Batangas, Quezon, Ilocos Sur, Zambales) consists of schools that are visited in
the same school year 2007-2008 and where the same set of pupils took the pre-test and
post-test. There are 458 Grade 6 pupils that participated in the pre-test and post-test.
Group 2 (Aklan, Iloilo, Negros Oriental, Bohol, Cebu, Samar, South Cotabato, Bataan)
consists of schools where the pre-test was conducted in 2008 while the post-test was
conducted in 2009. In this second group of schools, different sets of Grade 6 pupils took
the pre-test and post-test. Cohort analysis is adopted for this group of 1267 Grade 6
pupils.
In addition to the Grade 6 pupils, the research team also asked 1329 Grade 5 pupils to
answer a structures questionnaire to measure their perception on the usefulness of the
programs of the Knowledge Channel, and the utilization of the Knowledge Channel
facility, among others.
The results show that the average test score of the Grade 6 pupils belonging to Group 1
increased significantly by about 6 percentage points, from 20.20 in the pre-test to 23.81
in the post test, only after four (4) months of intervention.
The results also show that the average test score of the Grade 6 pupils belonging to Group
2 increased significantly by 11 percentage points, from 20.29 during the pre-test to 26.96
in the post-test, after about one year of intervention.
The results also show that statistically significant improvements in the average test scores
are observed across the schools in the 14 provinces, with improvements ranging from a
low of 1.81 percentage points (Sta. Rosa, Laguna) to a high of 19 percentage points
(Morong, Bataan). It should be noted that the school in Morong, Bataan where the
highest increase in the test score average is recorded (Sabang Elementary School now
known as F. Angeles Memorial Elementary School) initiated a program to increase the
number of television sets to 6 from the original single TV set donated by Knowledge
Channel mainly through the contributions of the parents. This initiative of the school
resulted in having half of the 12 classrooms with access to the Knowledge Channel.

I. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
Knowledge Channel Foundation, Inc. and Philip Morris Philippines are interested
in evaluating the impact of the Knowledge Channel’s intervention in the form of
Knowledge Channel’s programs on television viewed by the grade school pupils, on the
performance and perception of the pupils in 52 selected schools distributed in 7 Regions,
14 Provinces, 15 Congressional Districts and 16 Cities in the Philippines. The aim of this
pilot study is to generate benchmark data related to viewing schedules of the pupils,
utilization rate of the Knowledge Channel’s programs and its relationship to the pupils’
academic performance. Information related to the “best” practices initiated by the school
that help increase the viewing time of the pupils will also be covered by the pilot study.
The results of this benchmark study will provide Knowledge Channel with the needed
information that will be used in further improving Knowledge Channel’s operations in
pursuit of its objective of educating the young through the use of television.
II. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
1. General Objective
The principal objective of this research is to determine the impact of the programs
of Knowledge Channel on the performance and perception of the grade school pupils
viewing these programs in 52 selected schools, listed in Table 1, supported by Philip
Morris. The pupils’ performance will be evaluated using a test-questionnaire patterned
after the National Achievement Test (NAT). The test-questionnaire consists of 60 items
divided into three components, namely: Mathematics (20 items), Science (20 items) and
English (20 items). In addition to the test-questionnaire, a structured questionnaire was
developed to measure pupils’ perception/opinion on the programs of Knowledge
Channel.

2. Specific Objectives
The study specifically aims and shall be guided by the following objectives:
a. To examine the relationships between presence of Knowledge Channel and
the grade school pupils’ performance (using the test questionnaire);
b. To evaluate the perception of the pupils on the programs of the Knowledge
Channel (using a structured questionnaire);
c. To determine the “best” practices initiated by the schools in order to increase
the viewing time of the pupils and to assess if these practices can be replicated
in other schools; and,
d. To determine if the schools have met the objectives set by Knowledge
Channel related to program utilization set at the start of the project
implementation.
3. Data Gathering
The research team visited the 52 schools twice to conduct a pre-test (before the
installation of the Knowledge Channel facilities) and a post-test (near the end of the
school year). The schools are divided into two groups for analysis. Group 1 consists of
schools that are visited in the same school year of 007-2008 and thus, the same set of
pupils took the pre-test and post-test. Group 2 consists of schools where the pre-test was
conducted 2008 while the post-test was conducted in 2009. In this second group of
6. 6
schools, different sets of grade 6 pupils took the pre-test and post-test and cohort analysis
is used. The list of schools in groups 1 and 2 are shown in Table 2A and 2B,
respectively.

The data collection is divided into two stages: (1) at the start of the project
implementation to generate baseline data related to the grade school pupils and schools
characteristics and (2) at the end of the School Year 2007-2008 or School Year 2008-
2009 (around February and March) to collect data on performance of the pupils.
III. PRE-TEST RESULTS
The research team conducted the pre-test to all the 52 schools from November 2007 to
January 2008. A total of 1725 pupils participated in the pre-test exercise with 755 male
pupils (43.8%) and 970 female pupils (56.2%). The results of the pre-test results, grouped
according to area, are provided in Table 3 below. The average test score of the 1725
pupils is only about 20 points which is about one-third of the maximum score of 60
points. It is also noted that while there are pupils that got score of 48 points (80% of the
maximum score), there are also pupils that got a score of zero, showing a large variation
in the pre-test scores across the 52 schools.
8. 8
Comparing the pre-test results per area (or group of areas in some cases), the results show
that pupils from ILOILO and DUMAGUETE have the highest average test scores of
24.44 and 24.69 points, respectively. Pupils from BASEY, SAMAR, on the other hand,
got the lowest average of 14.53 points. These results are significant at the 5 percent level.
The rest of the areas are not significantly different from each other in terms of the
average test scores. Further analyses also show that ILOILO and DUMAGUETE stand
out as having the highest average pre-test scores, while BASEY, SAMAR has the lowest
pre-test average score.

The average scores of the different schools, grouped according to area, in the
Mathematics component of the pre-test are given in Table 4. The maximum score that a
pupil can get in Mathematics is 20 points. The results are similar to the previous table
where the average scores of pupils in ILOILO and DUMAGUETE at 8.64 and 8.79
points, respectively, are the highest scores across areas. The average score of pupils from
BASEY, SAMAR at 4.78 points is the lowest score. The results are significant at the 5
percent level. The other areas do not differ from each other in terms of their average
scores. As in the overall pre-test results, the areas can be ranked into three groups: (1)
ILOILO and DUMAGUETE ranked first, (2) all other areas; and (3) BASEY, SAMAR
ranking last.

The average scores of the different schools, grouped according to area, in the Science
component of the pre-test are given in Table 5. The maximum score that a pupil can get
in science is 20 points. The results show that the average score of pupils in ILOILO at
7.13 is the highest average score across all areas. Unlike in the previous results, ILOILO
has a significantly higher average score than DUMAGUETE in the science component of
the pre-test. The average score of pupils from BASEY, SAMAR at 4.49 points is the still
the lowest average score. The results are significant at the 5 percent level. The other areas
do not differ from each other in terms of their average test scores.

The results of the analysis show that schools in ILOILO and DUMAGUETE consistently
getting the highest average scores while schools from BASEY, SAMAR consistently
ranking last in terms of the average scores.
The average number of books in the areas of Mathematics, Science and English are given
in Table 7A to 7C. The average number of books in English is the highest with an
average of 1.72 books per school. The average number of textbooks in Mathematics is
1.15 books, just slightly higher than 1 book per student. However, the average number of
books per student in Science is less than the ideal one per student, with only about 0.97
book per student.

Looking at the specific areas/provinces, one can see that there are schools having the less
than ideal ratio of one textbook per student in Mathematics, Science and English. One
area that stands out is BASEY, SAMAR where the average number of textbooks in
Mathematics, Science and English are 0.58, 0.42 and 0.72, respectively. This shows that
about 2 pupils share a single textbook in this area. It is not surprising therefore that
schools in BASEY, SAMAR had the lowest average scores in Mathematics, Science and
English.

IV. COMPARISON OF PRE_TEST AND POST-TEST RESULTS
A. Group 1 Schools
The results of the pre-test and post-test for the pupils belonging to Group 1 schools are
shown in Table 8 below. The average pre-test score of the Grade 6 pupils, prior to the
installation of the Knowledge Channel facilities and the distribution of the textbooks, is
20.20 in the 60-item evaluation test or about 34%. After about four (4) months of
intervention, the average post-test score increased to 23.81 or 40%, for an increase of 6
percentage points. Moreover, this increase is statistically significant at the 1% level.
While we do not attribute such increase in the average test score solely to the
intervention, the presence of the Knowledge Channel facilities and the additional
textbooks surely helped the pupils increased their test scores. There are also significant
increases in the sub-areas of the tests, namely Mathematics, Science and English. The
largest improvement in the average test score is the area of Science where the post test
average is about 8 percentage points higher than the pre-test average score. This is
followed by Mathematics with an increase of 6.24 percentage points and English with an
increase of 3.60 percentage points.
13. 13
A comparison of the pre-test and post-test results for each of the provinces belonging to
Group 1 are shown in Table 9 below. The figures show that the average post test scores
showing significant improvement in all areas, but the magnitude of increases vary. The
largest improvement in the average test score is recorded for schools in the Quezon
province (Lucena City) where the students’ average post test score is 11.38 percentage
points higher than the average pre-test score. The lowest improvement (although still
statistically significant) is recorded in Laguna (Sta. Rosa City), where the post test
average is 1.81 percentage points higher than the pre-test average.
B. Group 2 Schools
The results of the pre-test and post-test for the pupils belonging to Group 2 schools are
shown in Table 10 below. The average pre-test score of the grade 6 pupils, prior to the
installation of the Knowledge Channel facilities and the distribution of the textbooks, is
20.29 in the 60-item evaluation test or about 34%. The average post-test score, however,
increased to 26.96 or 45%, for an average increase of 11 percentage points. Moreover,
this increase is statistically significant at the 1% level. Again, while we do not attribute
such increase in the average test score solely to the intervention, the presence of the
Knowledge Channel surely helped the pupils increased their test scores. There were also
significant increases in the sub-areas of the tests, namely Mathematics, Science and
English. The largest improvement in the average test score is the area of Mathematics
where the post test average is about 20.35 percentage points higher than the pre-test
average score. Science has an increase of 8.45 percentage points and English with an
increase of 4.20 percentage points.
A comparison of the pre-test and post-test results for each of the provinces belonging to
Group 2 are shown in Table 11 below. The figures show that the average post test scores
showing significant improvement in all areas (at the 1% level), but the magnitude varies.
The largest improvement in the average score is recorded in Morong, Bataan where the
students’ average post test score is 19.00 percentage points higher than the average pre-
14. 14
test score. The lowest improvement is recorded in Iloilo City, where the post test average
is 4.48 percentage points higher than the pre-test average.
It should be noted that the school in Morong, Bataan where the highest increase in the
test score average is recorded (Sabang Elementary School now known as F. Angeles
Memorial Elementary School) initiated a program to increase the number of television
sets from the original single TV set donated by Knowledge Channel to six (6) sets,
mainly through the contributions of the parents. This initiative of the school resulted in
having half of the entire 12 classrooms accessible to the Knowledge Channel facilities.

17. V. UTILIZATION AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE KNOWLEDGE CHANNEL
PROGRAMS
The research team also administered a structured questionnaire to the Grade 5 and 6
pupils to measure their perceptions on the usefulness of the Knowledge Channel
programs, as well as the utilization rate of the school or how often the pupils watch the
Knowledge Channel programs. This second instrument is different from the instrument
used to measure the impact of the programs of Knowledge Channel on the performance
of the Grade 6 pupils in Science, Mathematics and English.
Viewing Diffusion Index (VDI)
More than 3000 pupils answered the perception-based instrument with 1329 Grade 5
pupils and 1748 Grade 6 pupils as respondents. Tables 12A and 12B show the frequency
of viewing of the Knowledge Channel programs for the 52 schools and schools grouped
according to the provinces, respectively. About 70 percent of the pupils in the sample
said that they view the programs of the Knowledge Channel at least 2 to 3 times a week,
the acceptable utilization rate. Around 30 percent of the pupils in the sample said that
they only view Knowledge Channel programs at most once a week – one that can be
considered as less than ideal utilization rate. From the responses of the pupils, a Viewing
Diffusion Index (VDI) is constructed to present a single number that can provide a
picture of the utilization rate for the schools.
The VDI is defined as the difference between the percentage of those who view at an
acceptable utilization rate (at least 2 times a week) and the percentage of those who do
not (or less than ideal), in this case at most once a week. The VDI can range from +100
percent (all pupils view at least 2 times a week) to –100 percent (all pupils view only at
most once per week). While a VDI of 100 percent is preferred, this number may not be
realized by all schools due to other considerations related to the school activities (such as
exam schedule and other school undertakings – intramurals, Linggo ng Wika). An
acceptable VDI should be at least 50 percent (in this case a minimum of 75 percent of the
pupils view at least 2 times a week with a maximum of 25 percent of the pupils view at
18. 18
most once a week). A VDI value of less than 50 percent signals a problem in the viewing
schedule of the pupils possibly due to non-availability of the Knowledge Channel
programs because of prolong technical problem or absence of a well-coordinated weekly
viewing schedule.
The overall VDI value for the 52 schools is about 41 percent – below the acceptable
standard of at least 50 percent. However, there were seven (7) areas out the 14 areas in
the sample with a VDI of at least 50 percent, these are: Samar (78%), Batangas (71%),
Cavite (64%), Zambales (61%), Cebu (55%), Dumaguete (53%) and General Santos
(53%). The area with the lowest VDI is Laguna with negative 40%. Incidentally, the
lowest improvement in the average achievement score was recorded in Laguna (Sta. Rosa
City), where the post test average is just 1.81 percentage points higher than the pre-test
average. The school’s individual VDI is listed in Table 12C in the annex. There are 27
schools with VDI of less than 50 percent.

percentages of those who never view and those who view at most once a week. A good VDI should be at least between 50 to 60%.
21. Whenever the students watch programs of the Knowledge Channel, about 70 percent of
the elementary pupils interviewed said that they are able to watch the full episode (20
minutes) of the program. The distribution of viewing time is given in table 13 below. A
common reason for not able to watch the entire episode is due to the so-called “transition
problem” when pupils waste time in moving from their classrooms to the viewing area.
This is one area where the role of the ETV coordinator is crucial. In some schools where
there are excellent ETV coordinators, the teacher-in-charge is advised by the ETV
coordinator of the class’ viewing time minutes before the schedule so that the teacher is
able to let his/her students proceed to the viewing area. In this process, the students will
have enough travel time to the viewing room, ensuring that the students are able to watch
the entire episode. This role of the ETV coordinator is being emphasized during the
training conducted by the Knowledge Channel staff, particularly for large schools where
there is a considerable distance between the classrooms and the viewing room.

50% to 74% 283 9.39
less than 50% 115 3.82
Total 3013 100.00
The subject teacher in charge should be present during the viewing of the Knowledge
Channel programs and should be able to discuss the topics viewed by the pupils. Table 14
shows that about 83 percent of the elementary pupils say that their teachers are always
present whenever they are viewing the programs, with an additional 5 percent saying that
the teacher is present most of the time. The combined figure on the availability of the
teacher is more than 88 percent. However, the percentage of pupils who says that the
teacher is not present most of the time at 12 percent is still high. A common problem in
this area is that teachers feel they can go to school late (or even miss a class) because
pupils can instead watch the Knowledge Channel while waiting for them. This is one
concern that needs to be improved. It must be emphasized during the training what are
22. 22
the expectations on the part of the teachers whenever the students are viewing the
programs. In addition, a proper monitoring system should also be implemented at the
schools to minimize cases where the teachers are shirking on their responsibilities
because of the presence of the intervention (Knowledge Channel facilities).

Integrating the programs viewed into the regular class discussion is an important aspect
of the intervention. The teachers, therefore, must be able to discuss the topics to the
pupils after viewing the Knowledge Channel programs. The results of survey, in table 15
below, show that only 77% of the elementary pupils say that their teachers are always
discussing the topics after every program, with an additional 6 percent saying that their
teacher discusses the topic after viewing the program “most of the time.” While the
combined figure of 83 percent (teacher discussing the topic “always” and “most of the
time”) is relatively higher as compared to the other areas covered in the previous studies
(e.g. in the USAID-supported schools in the ARMM the comparative figure is 80
percent), there is still room to increase this number. Presence of the subject teacher
during program viewing and how to incorporate the contents of the programs viewed by
the pupils into the daily subject discussions are two areas of concern that must be address
by the Knowledge Channel team in coordination with the school ETV coordinators and
principals.

When asked for their most and least favorite Knowledge Channel programs, the pupils
rated the program SINESKWELA the highest with a net positive rating (difference
between the most favorite and least favorite ratings) of 36.47 percent. A far second is
MATH-TINIK with a net positive rating of 7.58 percent. Aside form SINESKWELA and
MATH-TINIK, eight other programs received net positive ratings: BAYANI (5.11%),
KELLY-KELLY (3.98%), SCIENCE INTERMEDIATE (3.06%), ALIKABUK (1.60%),
KAREN’S WORLD (1.56%), HIRAYAMANAWARI (1.49%), PAMANA (1.31%) and

expected as this is the program that is always rated in the previous studies as the most
favorite program. Seventeen (17) programs received negative net ratings with MATH
INTERMEDIATE being perceived as the least favorite program with a negative net
rating of 2.27%. The list of programs and the specific ratings are given in table 16 below.

When the pupils were asked to rate the various programs of the Knowledge Channel in
terms of whether the programs have been helpful (in agreement) or not helpful (in
disagreement) to their academic performance, the program SINE’SKWELA got the
highest net positive rating of 92 percent (difference between agreement and
disagreement). This program always generate the highest rating in the previous studies
but this is the first time that the program received a net positive rating of more than 90
percent. The other programs that generated high net positive ratings (at least 75 percent),
as shown in table 17, are: MATH-TINIK (80%), ENGLISH ELEMENTARY (75%) and
BAYANI (75%). While the results of the programs related to science and mathematics
(Sene’skwela and Math-tinik) are expected, the high rating observed for programs related
25. 25
to value-formation, such as BAYANI is quite surprising. The high rating received by the
program ENGLISH ELEMENTARY is also surprising considering that this program do
not normally get high approval in the previous studies.

VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The principal objective of this research is to determine the impact of the programs of
Knowledge Channel on the performance and perception of the grade school pupils
viewing these programs in 52 selected schools supported by Philip Morris. The results of
the study showed that the average test score of the Grade 6 increased significantly by
about 6 percentage points only after four (4) months of intervention. Moreover, for
26. 26
schools where the intervention lasted for one year, the study showed that the average test
score of the Grade 6 pupils increased significantly by 11 percentage points. While the
instrument used to evaluate the impact of the presence of Knowledge Channel on the
performance of the students is not the National Achievement Test (NAT) score, the
positive relationship between the presence of an intervention (Knowledge Channel
programs) and academic performance of the pupils supports the two previous studies
conducted by Knowledge Channel (that used the NAT scores as measure of academic
performance) that indeed viewing the programs of Knowledge Channel, particularly
programs in Science and Mathematics, can help the pupils improve their academic
performance.
While the study showed improvement in the academic performance due to the presence
of intervention in all schools, the magnitude varies and the increase in the average score
seems to be related to the frequency of viewing of the programs as measured by the
viewing diffusion index (VDI). All things being the same, schools with higher VDI
expect to generate a larger increase in the average academic performance as measured by
the instrument compared to schools with lower VDI. Therefore, there is need to properly
motivate the school personnel (principal, ETV coordinator and teachers) to use the
facilities of the Knowledge Channel and properly monitor the viewing frequency of the
pupils to ensure that higher VDI is achieved.
