Cerilles State College Philippines 2:31- 2:50 August 18-Molave Hall The study investigated the perceptions of public and private secondary school teachers in selected municipalities of Zamboanga del Sur Province, Mindanao, Philippines on the utilization of educational technology. The descriptive research design is used in which questionnaire was employed as main instrument in gathering data from the 132 public and 34 private secondary school teachers. The study revealed that majority of the respondents was female and more or less 31 years of age. Most of them were taking masters; Makabayan had a great share as to their area of concentration. Nearly everyone was neophytes with permanent status in the service and attended 1 to 3 times on trainings/seminars in educational technology. The public secondary teachers mostly utilized television, DVD player and radio/ cassette tape player, while majority of the private secondary teachers utilized computer with internet connection, computer printer and DVD player. The teachers both in public and private secondary schools perceived that they rarely used educational technology in their teaching. This also leads to their uncertain disposition towards the role of educational technology in the teaching-learning process. The perceptions between the two groups of respondents on the utilization of education technology revealed to have no significant difference.

Tabula rommeltabula@yahoo.com University of Northern Philippines Philippines 3:11 – 3:30 August 18-Molave Hall This experimental descriptive-correlation study determines the effectiveness of the Ilocano language as a medium of instruction in the teaching of Philippine Literature to tertiary students whose native language is Ilocano. The study also looked into the academic performance of students in the three learning domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. This study involved fifty (50) first year Accountancy students of the University of Northern Philippines who were enrolled in Philippine Literature during the Second Semester of the Academic Year 2010-2011. It utilized pretest-posttest control group design. The study employed frequency and percentages, weighted mean, Pearson r, t-test, and two-way analysis of variance. In the conduct of the study, the experimental group used only literary masterpieces written in Ilocano or literary texts translated from English to Ilocano with Ilocano as MOI, while the control group used literary pieces in English with English as MOI. For control purposes, there was only one instructor for both groups, one who is multilingual that can skillfully speak the Ilocano language and creatively write grammatically correct Ilocano sentences. Problem statements and hypotheses were anchored on the several assumptions on Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE), the study of language in descriptive linguistics and the psychology of learning.
