    Verbal exhortation and modeling: Their effects on the degree on conformity
    Anotado, Celiste C.; Buyco, Jo Mita S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-03)
    The research experiment was aimed to determine whether verbal exhortation and modeling had an effect on conformity in implementing rules and regulations. The sample of the research experiment involved fourth year students from Oton National High School. Eighty participants (n=80), 40 males and 40 females, were selected and assigned to the four experimental conditions and received appropriate experimental treatment. Conformity was measured by the number of students who took off their shoes before entering the library. After the analysis of the data, this experimental study revealed that there was a significant relationship between the variables of modeling and verbal exhortation, x2= 4.55 (df=l), p < .05 . Regardless of the presence or absence of a model, conformity was higher among participants who were subjected to verbal exhortation than those who did not receive verbal exhortation

    Students’ conceptions of learning and learning styles and teachers’ conceptions of teaching and teaching styles
    Alegario, Sharon S.; Palec, Rhea Q. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2000-03)
    This study aimed to identify the relationship that exists between students' conceptions of learning and their learning styles, teachers' conceptions of teaching and their teaching styles and students' learning styles and teachers' teaching styles. Respondents of the study were three (3) Communication 11 teachers, three (3) Mathematics 14 teachers and twenty of their respective students. It was conducted last February 7 to 18, 2000, AY 1999-2000 at the CAS Bldg. using a survey. There were two sets of questionnaire, one for the students and one for the teachers. The first set included the Conceptions of Learning Questionnaire and the Learning Style Inventory using a five-point scale and the second set included the Conceptions of Teaching Questionnaire and the Teaching Style Inventory. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the relationship that exists between students' conceptions of learning and their learning styles and the students' learning styles and their teachers' teaching styles. While the Spearman Rank-Order Correlation was used to determine the relationship that exists between teachers' conceptions of teaching and their teaching styles. Results of the study indicated that there is a positive relationship between students' conception of teaching as a complex process and their teaching style of an expert. The study also showed that there is a positive relationship between students' conceptions of learning as increasing one's knowledge and their active experimentation learning style. There is also a positive relationship between teachers' expert teaching style and their students' active experimentation learning style. It is recommended that future researchers would look into other different learning styles and teaching styles that match, which will result to an improved learning environment and a higher academic achievement.
