John Kenneth G. Manozon & Jasper M. Del Valle
Abstract
This study focused on the viewpoints of students toward direct instruction. It was conducted at the San Pablo City Integrated High School, Division of San Pablo City. The respondents were learners who did not meet the expectation for the subject. The study was conducted at San Pablo City Integrated High School during the EOSY 2021-2022. The input of the research is to design a remedial learning plan based on the responses of the students. The study utilized qualitative research in a case study setting. The case study interview was recorded and the thematic analysis codes were given in harmony with their responses. From the codes themes were assembled to have the findings of the study. From the findings a learning plan was set up. The findings show that the codes processed form the responses the viewpoints of learners toward direct instruction give these themes as responses – delivery of the lesson, lesson retention, coping with the learning process, prior knowledge in the subject, and learning gap. With these responses, a remedial learning plan was prepared. This holistic research encompasses the viewpoints of remedial students on the direct instruction utilized during remedial class. The input for a learning plan was solely based on the responses of the learners.
