Abstract:

The qualitative research aimed to determine the learning experiences of academically struggling learners as bases for intervention program in science on Grade nine learners’ of Buayahon-Bantay National High School, Santa Barbara, Iloilo. The study utilized descriptive approach, employing purposive sampling, structured interview, and thematic analyses process. The study identified three main themes which are Literacy, Behavior and Environment for Learning (LABEL). These three main themes served as bases for crafting the Championing Learners in Struggles in Science (CLASS): An Intervention Program for Literacy for Academics, Behavior and Environment for Learning (LABEL). The intervention program addresses the concern of learning experiences as to the literacy, behavior and environment for learning. The implementation of the program is a collaborative effort of teachers and parents at home for continuous learning. Learning materials are contextualized and suited to the level and pacing of the learners. Results and monitoring of the implementation are supported with scores and observation notes of both teachers and parents.
