Management and Usefulness of the Programs and Projects in San Isidro Elementary School, Batangas City Division

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The management of the school programs and projects are not easy because there are various aspects and components which must be considered before putting what is planned into action to determine the usefulness of any initiatives in school. Often, most of the initiated programs in school are mandated by the DepEd, but commotions and other negative comments can still be heard. Therefore, this study tries to evaluate how the variety of programs are being managed in school and determine the state of the usefulness of the different initiated programs in school for learners.

METHODS

This study examined the management of the school programs and projects in SIES through the perceptions of teachers and parent-respondents based on the given components and indicators on the self-made questionnaire of the researcher. All the 13 teachers and the 82 parents of Grade 5 pupils are the respondents of the study. The descriptive method of research is utilized. FGD is also applied to determine the different indicators used in the study. The gathered data were statistically treated using weighted mean, percentage together with the ranking. Moreover, the weighted mean was used to determine the typical quantitative value that will represent the set of indicators in each component of the self-made questionnaire.

RESULTS

The two groups of respondents assessed the indicators relative to academic performance as VS with composite means of 4. 65 and4. 73. Seemingly, the respondents' assessments relative to extra-curricular activities is almost the same. The composite means of 5 and 4. 90 from the respondents greatly confirms that SIES had been a child and eco-friendly school. On the other hand, in relation to the perceived problems, the lack of materials due to financial matters is known to be the solely evident one. The availability of the parents during working days came up to be the evident one on the aspect of parents' participation, and almost all the indicators on other stakeholders' support arose to be evident.

DISCUSSIONS

The results of the study demonstrate that among the three components: academic performance; extra-curricular activities and environmental awareness; it is recommended that the first two components must be given equal emphasis and considerations so that it will be more dominant compared to environmental awareness. On the aspect of evidence of problems encountered, other stakeholders' support is the most evident one. The suggested action plan for this study is recommended.
