Psychomotor, Affective, Cognitive (PAC) Project: Innovation in assessing skills in MAPEH

The traditional education system has primarily focused on cognitive development, emphasizing academic subjects, but research indicates that psychomotor and affective domains are also crucial for overall human growth. The study aimed to analyze the importance of the innovations of teachers in the Division of Roxas City. To determine the instructional innovations related to MAPEH in the Division of Roxas City. Out of 600 plus elementary and secondary teachers only 139 had an innovations starting 2014-2024. The researcher used a qualitative research design and applied purposive sampling technique that suits to her study. This qualitative design employed in-depth interview that was conducted to explore the innovations utilized by the teachers in assessing skills related to MAPEH. There were 15 participants who were selected in consideration of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thematic analysis by Clarke/Braun was used to interpret the responses of the participants. For the instructional innovations, it was found that the participants adopt innovation in teaching involves in a strategic integration of technology into instructional methods, focusing on enhancing students’ engagement and meeting individual needs. Examples are: PAGHANAS, PODCAST, PROJECT ALL STARS, Whole Brain Teaching, Differentiated Instruction, Gamification, One-Stop Prep., Technology- Integrated teaching, and PROJECT SAOT. For the learning domains addressed by these innovation encompasses three interconnected areas that contribute to an individual’s holistic development: psychomotor, affective and cognitive. The researcher finds out that most of their innovations engaged in psychomotor domains (9 out of 15), two (2) for affective domains and four (4) for cognitive. The participants carefully applied their innovations through inquiry-based learning, technology integrated lessons, PBL (Project-based Learning), Flipped Classroom, differentiated instructions and collaborative teaching. The advantages of these innovations are: integration of technology to enhance educational management, personalize education, innovative methods like interactive activities, help learners to be aware of their health status and to avoid bullying. Nevertheless, there are areas that need to improve such as implementation of peer teaching programs, leverage digital assessment tools, curriculum based training programs, incorporate experiential learning activities that connect theory with practical applications.
