Canabal, Ge-Ann D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)
This study examined the relationship among the factors influencing the academic success of college students namely: student’s perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior and teaching method. A survey was done on 155 respondents using three instruments to measure the variables. The data gathered were analyzed using Multiple Regression. Results showed that students perceived the cooperative-type of teacher as more effective than the dominant-type. It was found that both subscale values of student’s perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior namely dominance and cooperation were predictive of student’s academic success. Also, students perceived the student-centered method of teaching as more effective than the teacher-centered method. Furthermore, it was revealed that only the student-centered method was predictive of student’s academic success.

Calinao, Princess Joy T.; Fuentes, Christine S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-03)
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of group size on math and reading test performance of first year high school students. Thirty randomly selected first year high school students participated in the study. Fifteen worked individually and the other fifteen worked in groups of five students. The questionnaires were drawn from the National Elementary Achievement Test (NEAT). The test included math and reading items. The math test consisted of computation, problem solving and numeration while the reading test consisted of word meaning and vocabulary. The students were given 30 minutes to complete the test. The math test answered first followed by the reading test. The individual and the group condition were in separate rooms. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the difference between the mean scores at p <.05 level of significance. The results indicated that the type of subject matter significantly affected, students’ test performance F (1,26) = 1.98, p< 05 whereas the effects of group size on test performance was not significant F (2,26) = 21.87, p<.05. The results were found not significant in the interaction of group size and the type of subject matter on students’ test performance.
Pattern of internet usage among social science students of University of the Philippines in the Visayas, Miagao, Iloilo
Botengan, Henry James P.; Singo, Lynnie V. (2006-10)
The study was undertaken to know the pattern of Internet usage among Social Science students of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV). It generally aims to identify (1) the socio-demographic profile of Internet Users among Social Science students of UPV; (2) determine the reasons why the students use the internet, (3) find out the pattern of internet usage of the social science students; (4) know if there is a relationship between patterns of internet use and socio-economic characteristics of students such as sex and social class. The researchers used simple random sampling without replacement and employed the fishbowl sampling technique in selecting the names of the respondents. The data was gathered using the interview schedule and analyzed using simple frequency counts and percentages. The researchers also employed the chi square test for independence as a statistical tool in testing the hypotheses. This study shows that the main reason for students in accessing the Internet is for research purposes with e-mail at a close second. The least used Internet service availed is for purchasing goods and services. On the relationship of sex and Internet use, frequency of Internet use is dependent on the sex of respondent. Male respondents tend to access the Internet more often than female respondents while there is no significant difference in the average number of hours spent by male and female respondents in accessing the internet. Also, there is no relationship between sex and amount spent in accessing the net. Male and female respondents’ expenses for weekly Internet use do not differ significantly. On the relationship of social class and Internet usage, there is no relationship in social class and in the number of times of accessing the net per week. Even though respondents belong to different social classes, their frequency of internet use do not differ significantly. On the other hand, average hours spent in accessing the net is dependent on social class. On the average, respondents from the lower and middle class access the internet for 2 hours or less only, while those who belong to the upper class tend to access the net for 3 hours or more. Weekly amount spent for accessing the internet is dependent on social class. Upper class respondents tend to spend more than Php 60 per week for Internet usage, while lower and middle class respondents spent Php60 and below weekly for Internet usage. Another study could be done on a different group (Young Professionals) with a larger sample size. Other factors affecting Internet Usage should also be considered in doing another study, such as a roommate having an Internet connection where the person does not necessarily pay for Internet usage.
