S I L Ya -Sama-Samang Isaayos Ang Mga Lumang Upuang Yari Sa Kahoy Bunga Ng Brigada Eskwela 2018 Sa Senior High School Ng Calamba Integrated School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Since the inception of the Brigada Eskwela or National School Maintenance Week in 2013, cooperative efforts of the parents, teachers, students, and other stakeholders to prepare the school for school opening had yielded much supports and very favorable results. The success of the project and the involvement of the authors in the project prompted them to write this action research. The context of the research was in Filipino and the title was given its English translation as C H A I R S -Cooperative Human Activity Involving the Restoration of Slightly Damaged Wooden Chairs. This project centered on the efforts of tightening of the loosely-connected bolts and nuts of the wooden chairs to restore them to a more sturdy condition thus preventing further damage and prolonging the usefulness of the wooden chairs.

METHODS

Based on actual observation and testing of chairs, authors found that majority of the wooden chairs have loosely connected joints and missing parts like bolts, nuts, washers, and some wooden parts are loosely nailed. The authors, having basic repair knowledge, started tightening the loosely connected bolts and nuts and were able to restore the firmness of several chairs.

RESULTS

Being successful at their initial efforts, authors initiated petty cash purchase of small wrenches, bolts, nuts, and washers, During the Brigada Eskwela 2018, cooperative efforts by the teachers, parents, and students of senior high school contributed to the restoration of the firmness of the all the wooden chairs assigned to them and even restored several unusable chairs to their usable conditions.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrated the need to disseminate this success to the junior high school departments of Calamba Integrated School or even to others school nationwide with similar conditions to that of Calamba Integrated School.
