An Analysis of Pupils’ Division Unified Testing Program (DUTP) Results in Selected Core Subjects: A Basis for Improved Classroom Instruction

This study aimed to analyze the Division Unified Testing Program (DUTP) Results of the Grade-VI pupils in Banaybanay Elementary School in English, Science, and Mathematics. The descriptive-correlational design was used in this study. The researcher utilized index of difficulty, percentage, mean, and Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation. The study revealed that majority of the pupils are female. The pupils’ first grading period performance in English is in the “developing” level and in the “approaching proficiency” level for both Science and Mathematics. It further showed that the pupils’ DUTP performance in English and in Science is in the “developing” level and in “approaching proficiency” level in Mathematics.Moreover, the following proportions of items in the DUTP examinations were found to be difficult: one-fourth of the items in English, more than half of the items in Mathematics, and almost half of the items in Science. Furthermore, there was a “high” relationship between the first grading and DUTP performance of the pupils in English as well as in Science. A “marked” relationship was also noted in Mathematics. Lastly, a substantial difference was revealed between the performance of the male and female pupils in the following areas: English and Science in the first grading period; and English in the DUTP examination in favor of the female pupils. The study has the following recommendations: Since the pupils were in the “developing” level in English (both in the first grading and DUTP performance), the teachers should consider the item analysis results. Items that were classified as difficult should be stressed more in classroom discussion. Inasmuch as there were numerous difficult items in Mathematics and Science during the DUTP examination, a well-planned tutorial session should be organized by the teachers. This activity should be done a month before the said examination. The male pupils should be encouraged to participate more in classroom discussion. During class activities, they should be paired with female pupils who excel in class. The supervisors should ensure that the items included in the DUTP examination go through an item analysis

Teachers’ Dominant Mode of Thinking Preference: Its Relationship to Their Performance Ratings

This study aimed to determine teachers’ dominant mode of thinking preference in relation to their performance rating. The respondents of the study were the elementary and high school teachers of Cluster 4, Bayawan City Division. The research was descriptive and correlational in nature. The study utilized percentage, mean, weighted mean, and the Pearson’s Contingency Coefficient. The study revealed that most of the teachers are married, baccalaureate degree holders only and female. The extent of the teachers’ thinking strengths based on analytical, sequential, interpersonal and imaginative thinking is “very high” in the different modes of thinking preferences. A big percentage of the teachers are analytical thinkers, one-fourth of them are interpersonal thinkers and another one-fourth are imaginative thinkers. In addition, majority of the teachers have a “very satisfactory” performance rating. Teachers’ performance rating is not associated with their dominant mode of thinking preference. In terms of educational attainment, teachers who are baccalaureate degree holders are more sequential compared to teachers with master’s degree units. However, the latter have higher imaginative strength than the former. Married teachers have higher sequential, interpersonal, and imaginative strengths than single teachers. Lastly, female teachers are more sequential than male teachers
