Learning Views of Humss Students in San Juan Senior High School on Philippine Literature

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Learning view takes place at students' heads where it is invisible to others. Learning is an experience where an individual experiences permanent and lasting changes in knowledge, behaviors, or ways of processing the world. Every student has their own interest and they can integrate this into their favorite subject. Philippine Literature is being taught to Senior High School students particularly in the 21st Century Literature and Creative Writing subjects. The learner demonstrates an understanding of how communicative competence is best explored through the different domains of literacy enabling him/her to analyze, do a critical evaluation, and make critical choices to suit different purposes without sacrificing socio-cultural values and attitude.

METHODS

The study used the descriptive method of research and random sampling in determining the samples of the study. It included Grade 11 and 12 HUMSS students of San Juan Senior High School. F-test and T-test were used in this study.

RESULTS

As to learning into instruction, students find Philippine Literature as an easy subject and they discover new things about the Philippines through this. In terms of strategies, students apply collaborative learning in class. When it comes to problems, students cannot pronounce unfamiliar words, they have an inadequate background of literary genres in the learning package and students cannot relate literature into their personal experience. There is no significant relationship between the learning views of students as to instruction, strategies, instructional materials, evaluation, and their profile. It helped them to be aware of the subject and rich culture of the Philippines. The strategies used in learning Philippine Literature are considered appropriate, enjoyable, effective, and a helpful tool in improving reading and listening comprehension, generating interest in reading, promoting a positive attitude and boosting enthusiasm to learn.

DISCUSSIONS

There are different views of learning in each student. Learning styles can serve as a guide in selecting appropriate strategies and instructional materials to maximize student learning. Strategies that assess critical thinking skills must be developed to enhance the use of instructional assessment of a student's level of learning. Teachers must be encouraged to discover more innovative materials, strategies and methods to improve their teaching pedagogy. In addressing the problems of students in learning Philippine Literature, a proposed activity must be made.
