THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHER'S TEMPERAMENT AND SELECTED STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION WITH STUDENTS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN COLLEGE ALGEBRA --- ABSTRACT: The purpose of this quantitative - qualitative study is to examine the temperament traits (nervous, depressive, active, expressive, sympathetic, subjective, dominant, hostile, and self-disciplined) of a College Algebra professor and the achievement motivation of the 2nd Year BS Psychology students from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (n=83, age range = 15 - 17), as they relate to the latter's academic performance on the subject. Moreover, this study answers questions regarding the demographic profile of the respondents, the contributing factors that justify the results gathered, and the learning recommended to teachers and students. The students rated their own achievement motivation using a self-report questionnaire and also rated their teacher's temperament traits by the use of a criss-cross test. Correlational analyses indicated that of the nine temperament traits only the sympathetic trait had a significant negative relationship (r=-.389, p<.001) with the students academic performance. This indicates that the professor's display of concern and compassion to the students typically influenced the decline of their academic performance. Findings point to the importance of having professors who are not too lenient and having a math enrichment program to promote learning and enjoyment in the subject.;FIGURATIVE ASSOCIATION: AN APPROACH TO BETTER AND FASTER LEARNING FOR SENIOR HIGH STUDENTS IN CALOOCAN----ABSTRACT: This paper investigated the effectiveness of mnemonic techniques and the most effective technique in recalling and memorizing of words among the Grade 11 Senior High School students of Young Achievers School of Caloocan A.Y 2016-2017.

Both groups were provided with a pre-test and post-test except that the experimental group undergone three post-test, one per technique used. 50 words were given to the participants to memorize within ten minutes. Three mnemonic techniques were provided by the researchers to the experimental group namely acronym, putting a rhythm and making a song.

A total of 100 Grade 9 students ages 13-16 studying at President Osmeña High School located at Tondo, Manila are the sample used. The result of the smartphone usage test developed by the researcher's shows that the respondents are not prevalent of smartphones. Based on the scores of family interaction and smartphone usage, it shows that the two variables have correlation but only have slight effect on each other. The researchers concluded that even though the interaction of the family is lessen due to the fact that they use their smartphone instead of talking to each other, it also strengthens the connection of the family because they can call or text each other when they are not together physically. The researchers proposed a learning program that recommends the students/teenagers and also with their parents to strengthen their ties to each other by having a leisure or family time that they can spend for a better and stronger bond with each other than merely using their smartphones alone.;THE EFFICACY OF MUSIC IN ELICITING EMOTIONS AMONG YOUNG ADOLESCENTS-----ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to identify the efficacy of music in the elicited emotions of young adolescents. Music has been used for thousands of years as a means of emotional expression because it has the power of stimulating strong emotions within individuals.

The respondents were chosen purposively, they were supposed to be enrolled at Victorino Mapa High School, currently on grade seven or grade eight, and aged eleven to fourteen years old, male or female. A quasi-experimental design was used in conducting the study. There were two groups utilized - control and experimental group. Both groups were asked to answer a 20-item questionnaire for pre-test. The experimental group was introduced to uplifting and dark music, while the control was not. After which, a post-test was administered to distinguish the elicited emotion. PANAS scale is the instrument used by the researchers. An independent sample t-test is the statistical method utilized in this particular study. Results showed that there is a significant difference between music and elicited emotions. This study presented that music; especially uplifting music affects the elicited emotions of young adolescents.
