Abstract:

This study explored the impact of various pedagogical strategies on student engagement and academic performance in the Filipino subject among Grade 4 students at Tamnag Central Elementary School. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the investigation assessed the effectiveness of cooperative learning, inquiry-based learning, multimedia tools, and experiential teaching approaches. Data were gathered from teachers and students using a validated survey questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation. The results showed that student-centered and culturally relevant strategies, specifically cooperative, inquiry-based, multimedia-integrated, and experiential approaches, were widely implemented and perceived as effective in enhancing engagement and academic achievement. The study found significant positive correlations between the use of pedagogical strategies and the levels of student engagement and academic performance. These findings underscore the importance of implementing diverse, interactive, and inclusive teaching methods in language instruction. The study offers practical implications for educators, administrators, and policymakers aiming to improve learning outcomes in the Filipino subject and other language disciplines in the elementary education context.
