The Alternative Learning System (ALS) Students' Challenges in Untangling the Reading Comprehension Ability
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
In the Philippines, the Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a counterpart learning system that offers a practical resort to the existing formal education. The primary goal of this program is to provide diplomas equivalent to either elementary or secondary school levels while eliminating illiteracy. However, little is known about these Alternative Learning System students' struggles and challenges. As a result, the purpose of this research is to identify the struggles and challenges that Alternative Learning System (ALS) students face in untangling their reading ability. The five participants' real-life experiences are highlighted in this phenomenology research study. The collected data was analyzed and interpreted using Moustakas' and Van Kaam's Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Following a thorough analysis of the collected data, three major themes emerged: impoverished vocabulary, time constraints, and vocabulary development. The lived experiences of these students in untangling their reading ability were determined using these. The study's future expansion could focus on ALS's abilities and capacities in improving its students' reading and comprehension.
