Back in undergrad I used to make little comics on post-it notes to riff on the material I was learning. I don't have any friends in my paralegal class so I just wanted to post this lawyer ad I made that violates 4 different codes of legal service advertisement ethics* 1. No illustrations allowed 2. You may not include anything that states how great of a lawyer you are 3. It doesn't include the name of any attorney in the firm 4. Advertisements for legal services must be "dignified" *This does not constitute legal advice, consult with a lawyer and/or jurisdictional codes for more information about your local legal services advertisement rules and regulations

Enhancing Mathematics Performance and Motivation through Comic-Based Learning Materials

CPA 393 Research Proposal

Elevating competence in Mathematics is a key goal of the educational system of the Philippines. National and local programs were implemented to increase the quality of education. However, the results of international assessments reveal that Filipino students are behind their global counterparts. The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) conducted last 2018 showed that the Philippines ranked the lowest among 79 countries. The Philippines garnered a total score of 353 points. Less than 20% of Filipino students obtained satisfactory ratings, while more than half demonstrated a low proficiency. The poor showing continued as presented in the results of the 2022 edition. With a score of 355 points, the Philippines ranked sixth from the bottom among 81 participating countries. Findings show that only 16% of Filipino students reached at least Level 2 proficiency, compared to the global average of  69%. Additionally, almost no Filipino students are among the top performers, far below the 9% global average. These results suggest that Filipino students are 5 to 6 years behind in Mathematics. Aside from Mathematics, Filipino students also perform poorly in reading. In PISA 2022, the Philippines scored below the global average of 476. With 347 points, the Philippines ranked 75th among participating countries.

A body of literature emphasizes the advantages of integrating comics in teaching and learning Mathematics. Previous studies suggest that one effective intervention for improving Mathematics performance and motivation is the adoption of educational comics. The investigation of Uy  (2018) involved the development and evaluation of comics on integer operations. The results showed the efficacy of using comics for low-performing high school students. Nurfitriyanti et al. (2020) validated the effectiveness of comics as a tool for teaching Mathematics. The results reveal a glaring improvement in Mathematics achievement. The developed comics also passed the validation of diverse raters. Experts in subject matter, language, and child development rated the developed material as very satisfactory. Sipayung et al. (2020) found that learners utilizing comic-based learning materials scored higher in learning motivation and conceptual understanding than the control group. This affirms that utilizing comic-based learning can potentially enhance student engagement and comprehension. Meanwhile, Tassell et al. (2019) examined how comics covering different Mathematics topics could improve Mathematics attitudes at the intermediate level. Findings revealed that the implementation of comics led to an increased enjoyment and appreciation for Mathematics learning.

Aside from previous studies, different theories highlight the influence of comics in education. One applicable theory endorsing the efficacy of comic-based learning material is the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (1997). This posits three assumptions regarding information processing: firstly, that words and pictures are processed through separate and distinct channels; secondly, that the capacity of these channels is limited; and thirdly, that the processed information culminates in coherent mental representations. This suggests that learners grasp information more effectively when presented with material that combines text and pictures, as opposed to predominantly text-based content. The utilization of comics as an instructional tool aligns with the multimedia design principles derived from this theory. Utilizing comics aligns with the ideas of the multimedia principle and spatial contiguity principle. These principles underscore the significance of using text and images in a balanced manner and maintaining their close distance from each other.

The current research will examine the applicability of the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning in Mathematics education. Specifically, it aims to evaluate the influence of comic-based learning on Mathematics performance and motivation. The investigation will explore whether students using comic-based learning materials achieve better performance and higher motivation levels compared to students who use conventional learning materials. The study will hold potential benefits for students and various stakeholders. This study may assist teachers in curating instructional materials, enabling them to improve their lesson presentations. The study may also educate students about the benefits of comics and the importance of consuming good learning materials. Moreover, this study may contribute to future programs and research involving reading, Mathematics performance, and Mathematics motivation.

Slang Education Day

Imagining Alastor and his Great Depression ass trying to comprehend internet terms is hilarious to me.

{Part 1} {Part 2} {Part 3}

I used the LITERAL list that Amir Talai posted on his Insta of ACTUAL terms he had to Google bc of the HH fandom 😂😭. (but same bc I also didn’t know what half these terms meant 🫠)

Reverse trope

where instead of the Bats forgetting that they’re adopted (something actual adoptees do on occasion and is hilarious) they forget that some of them *cough Damian cough* aren’t

_______

Jason in the heat of a probably ridiculous argument: Yeah well YOU’RE adopted!

Tim just as invested in said argument: So are YOU! We all are!

Damian who had previously been quietly watching this unfold while he drank his tea: Actually I’m not

Tim and Jason who didn’t realize he was there but are already DoneTM: …… Damian continuing to sip his tea entirely unbothered: :)

Damian: Because I’m not an orphan-

Jason: ok, yoU KNOW WHAT-

____

or like in their group texts (that we know they have thanks to Nightwing (2016) #79)

*Steph changed the group chat name to “Bruce Wayne’s Personal Orpanage”*

Jason: Really?

Steph: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Steph: It’s the truth Damian: Both my parents are very much alive

Steph: Shhh you don’t count

Cass: Mine too Duke: Technically so are mine

Barbara: I still have a dad so there’s that

Steph: YOU GUYS ARE RUINING THE JOKE

Tim: Stephanie aren’t BOTH of your parents alive???

Steph: KNOW WHAT? FINE

*Steph changed the group chat name to “The Technicality Police”*

Tim: well that’s more accurate at least

Steph: :)

_____

Damian in his 10th argument with Tim of the day: That’s- this is-

Tim in full Antagonizing Big Brother mode: I’m listening

Damian -a Gen Z and best friend to Jon Kent- extremely frustrated: This is such Motherless behavior!

Tim taken aback: [voice cracking] W-what-?

Damian who didn’t mean to say that but doubling down anyway because his bloodline doesn’t believe in admitting mistakes: THIS! This is such Motherless behavior!

The rest of the family who is also motherless: :O

Cass whose been spending way too much time with Meme Queen Stephanie Brown and not involved in the argument but finding it entertaining regardless: [nodding along seriously] Facts

Tim: [visibly betrayed] CASS WHAT-

A video copy of the interaction gets sent out anonymously to the entire family. Barbara is the prime suspect but there is no proof as of yet (and they will never find any)

Steph, Cass, and Duke continue to respond “Motherless behavior” everytime one of the bats does something they deem questionable/insane. It is said often

It only stops when one night in the middle of patrol. Batman is in full Dark Knight mode (possibly in the middle of threatening someone) and descends from the ceiling into the middle of a warehouse drug deal, dark cape billowing out behind him-

and Steph just automatically whispers “Motherless behavior” forgetting her com was still very much on

She immediately realizes what she said and frantically apologizes but it’s too late.

Bruce just- Blue Screens. Completely stunned into silence

Dick -who was unfortunate enough to be the one teamed up with Batman tonight- is fighting for his life to choke back his laughter

Jason doesn’t even try to stop his and has collapsed to his knees from lack of air from how hard he’s laughing. Cass try’s half heartedly patting his back to help to no avail

The criminals are terrified into surrender from The Red Hood just laughing hysterically at seemingly nothing while Batman just Stands There

Damian ends up being the only one still functioning enough to continue arresting everyone, though he is privately amused and strangely proud

Tim and Barbara have saved both the com recordings and cowl footage to at least three different servers and sent it to absolutely everyone before Batman even recovers

Duke finds out second hand the next morning and is furious he missed the chance to see it in person. He declares he is moving to the nightshift so it doesn’t happen again. (He is all talk and goes to bed by 9 pm)

Bruce bans the phrase for life and promises swift and server punishment to anyone who dares to use it again
