Abstract: This study assessed the level of competence in Mathematics among Grade 2 learners, as well as the learning experiences and challenges encountered in teaching at a public elementary school in the Division of Carcar City for the School Year 2024–2025. The researcher employed descriptive normative methods, utilizing the Early Grade Mathematics Assessment (EGMA) Survey Tool, which was administered to 72 Grade 2 learners. Findings revealed that although some foundational skills were evident, the majority of learners demonstrated a "Nearly Numerate" level across most EGMA domains, with notable weaknesses in rational counting and number identification. Teachers reported challenges in addressing diverse levels of prior knowledge and foundational gaps, while learners expressed a need for more engaging and interactive learning experiences. Based on these findings, the study concludes that learners exhibit a generally developing level of numeracy with notable weaknesses in addition, subtraction, and foundational number sense skills, and their feedback highlights the need for more engaging, interactive, and differentiated instructional approaches to effectively support diverse levels of preparedness and improve Grade 2 Mathematics teaching and learning. Thus, it is recommended that implementation of an intervention plan which incorporates more engaging pedagogical strategies and differentiated instruction to address learners' varying levels of preparedness.

Abstract: This study assessed the learning styles and academic performance of Grade 4 students to inform the development of a differentiated instruction lesson guide. This study made use of descriptive correlational research to assess the learning styles of students using the VARK Learning Style Inventory. The researcher utilized universal sampling technique with 34 learners as respondents. Their grades in Science from quarters 1-4 were extracted from learner’s report card or form 9 of the Department of Education for the documentary analysis. Based on the findings, it revealed the different learning styles in the group of 34 individuals, Verbal learning is the most prevalent learning style, while Kinesthetic learning is the least common. Data study of how well Grade 4 pupils performed in their science class shows that the majority of students in this group performed "Fairly Satisfactory" in science. The findings also revealed that there is a significant relationship between learning styles and academic performance in science; the way students prefer to learn (their learning styles) has a meaningful impact on how well they perform in science. The results also underscore the importance of instructional strategies, particularly inquiry-based learning, in enhancing science outcomes. Thus, it can be concluded that educators shall implement differentiated instruction, utilize diverse teaching methods, and active learning approaches to accommodate varied learning preferences and improve science performance. Students' preferred learning techniques have a significant impact on their performance in science.

Abstract: This study investigated how corporate social responsibility strategies influence the performance of Microfinance Banks in Nairobi County. It focused on four key CSR dimensions: philanthropic, environmental, health, and educational initiatives. The research was guided by afro-centric, embedded, development-oriented, and sustainable livelihood theories. Using a descriptive survey design, data was collected from 100 MFB employees through structured questionnaires and analysed using SPSS version 27, applying both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that all four objective significantly impacted organizational performance: philanthropic SR (r = .183, p < .009), health SR (r = .201, p < .001), environmental SR (r = .405, p < .001), and educational SR (r = .124, p = .001). The combined explanatory power of these variables accounted for 63.7% of performance variance (R² = 0.637). The study recommends enhancing philanthropic efforts to boost company reputation and employee morale, adopting eco-friendly procurement practices to demonstrate environmental commitment, and implementing health-focused programs that address broader societal issues. Additionally, it advocates for educational support to underprivileged students to foster future talent and social equity. These findings provide valuable insights for MFB managers seeking to align CSR initiatives with performance outcomes

Keywords: Philanthropic SR, Health SR, Environmental SR, and Educational SR.
