The enhanced K-12 Basic Education Program seeks to provide a quality 12-year basic education program that each Filipino is entitled and in consistent with Article XIV, Section 2 (I) of the Philippine Constitution which states that the state shall establish, maintain, and support a complete adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the people and society.The study aimed to determine the level of performance of the Grade 8 Adtech students of the Philippine Science High School Ilocos Region Campus, San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur in S.Y. 2013-2014. The study made use of descriptive correlational research design. Results showed that the overall grade exhibited a “very good” level of performance in the curricular subjects. Knowledge test of the student obtained an “Excellent” grade, and students’ work attitude is highly important. The student performance along knowledge (0.284), skills (0.301); attitude (0.272) in the Exploratory AdTech Program resulted that no significant relationship. The correlation coefficients between the level of performance of the students in Exploratory AdTech Program and the students’ performance along attitudes, manifested a significant relationship. Matching of competency requirements and standards of the 12-year basic education are necessary to acquire skills and match the College Readiness Standards for further education and future employment of students. Keywords – Education, performance, Grade 8, Adtech, descriptive correlational method, Ilocos Sur, Philippines

<p>The Philippine government is currently investing on education reform through the Enhanced<br />Basic Education Program or the K-12 Curriculum. The recent basic education program does<br />not only call for academic excellence but also on higher teacher qualification. The purpose of<br />this study is to determine whether or not teacher licensure matters in the implementation of<br />the basic education reform in the Philippine Education system. Qualitative in orientation, this<br />study utilized Phenomenology as its research design to capture the lebenswelt of college<br />teachers who are distraught by the implementation of the new K-12 curriculum. Data were<br />gathered through interviews and the analysis of data was empirically observed using the<br />following steps: transcribing, coding, theming, verifying, and analyzing. The analysis of data<br />in this phenomenological inquiry yielded three essential themes based on the respondents’<br />major statements pertaining to eligibility that makes the college teacher qualified to teach in<br />the Senior High School of the new K-12 program, namely: full eligibility, provisionary<br />eligibility, and temporary eligibility. The college teachers in this study accept and favor the<br />Department of Education’s teaching licensure requirement. They believe that passing the<br />Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) is an important requirement before entering the<br />classroom. The shared experiences of the participants of the study serve as a primordial<br />source to raise awareness about the value and importance of teacher licensure to meet the<br />high quality standards set by the profession and the hiring standard recognized by the<br />government and public schools as an assurance of competence and quality.</p>

How is it possible to move beyond assessment for the purposes of evaluating teacher proficiency and student performance outcomes and instead to consider assessment for understanding student musical experiences and preferences for the purpose of promoting lifelong musical engagement? This chapter includes and examines three distinct music education approaches that have been taken at the K–12 Sidney Lanier Center School for students with varying exceptionalities in Gainesville, Florida. Megan Sheridan illustrates inclusion and assessment using the Kodály approach. David Edmund and Jian-Jun Chen-Edmund examine creative lessons developed for exceptional learners in a general music setting. Steven Bingham and Donald DeVito illustrate adaptive jazz inclusion and performance for public school and university students with disabilities. This collaborative development in qualitative music assessment has taken place through (1) developing methods of communicating recognition of student engagement and affective responses during inclusive engagement in public school music education settings, specifically in Kodaly-based music instruction, K–12 general music classes, and secondary jazz ensembles; (2) using students’ interest and engagement as a means of curriculum development and assessment in inclusive public school music settings; and (3) building collaborative relationships with parents and the community for post-school lifelong music learning.

Purpose – There is a growing need for school-based nutritional educational programs that promote healthy eating attitudes without increasing an unhealthy focus on restrictive eating or promoting a poor body image. Research suggests that intuitive eating (IE) approaches, which encourage individuals to focus on internal body signals as a guide for eating, have had a positive impact on eating-related psychological outcomes in adults. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects an IE education program on the eating attitudes of high school students. Design/methodology/approach – In a quasi-experimental study, 48 high school students (30 females) in a Midwest town in the USA received instruction on IE or a comparison program over seven days during health classes. Repeated measures analyses of covariance were conducted to examine changes in eating attitudes in sexes across conditions. Findings – Students who received the IE program made significantly greater gains in overall positive eating attitudes on the Intuitive Eating Scale than students in the comparison program (p=0.045), as well as on the Unconditional Permission to Eat subscale (p=0.02). There were no significant effects of sex on any of the analyses. Research limitations/implications – Because of the relatively small sample size and short duration of the program, the results should be generalized with caution. Practical implications – The results suggest that IE instruction may encourage the development of healthy eating attitudes in high school students, and health teachers may wish to consider including IE instruction in the health curriculum. Originality/value – This is the first study to examine the effectiveness of an IE program in a K-12 population, with instruction provided in the context of the school. The results are promising and suggest that this may be a fruitful area for future research in nutrition education.
