Print media eyes to mold learners of ALS in Pampanga
By Arnold C. Montemayor, EPS II
It is interesting to know if learners are reading outside the Community
Learning Centers and what type of literacy materials they are reading, also
equally important, the reasons why they
do not read.
This research study on the Popular
Print Media Literacy Among the Learners of the Alternative Learning System
in the Division of Pampanga attempts
to investigate the popular print media
choice for ALS learners in the Province
of Pampanga.
Based on the result of the survey
questionnaire, majority of the respondent
learners who answered Yes (91.13%)
still find time to read outside their classroom/learning center. The most preferred print media literacy outside the
classroom/learning center was newspaper (54.87%) which ranks first; and the
least preferred was comics (17.70%)
which are fifth in rank. At home, the
most print media literacy among learner
respondents was the school textbook
(37.50%) which is first in rank; and the
least preferred was magazine (12.50%.)
which is fifth in rank.
This study points out the importance
of developing the reading habit, that is,
their intrinsic desire to read. In this light,
different types of pocketbooks aside
from the school textbooks and ALS
modules should be made available in
the Community Learning Centers. Moreover, comics-type educational reading
materials should also be developed.
Newspapers and magazines should also
be made available in the Community
Learning Centers. To cultivate the habit
of reading from the learners is to start
from what interest them most to read.
