Abstract: This qualitative research study was conceptualized to describe the skills and techniques of players during the final volleyball matches in the UAAP. The study sample consisted of best 3 matches played during the 2015-2017 UAAP women’s and men’s volleyball championship. The matches were played by 2 teams composed of 24 players from best of 3 championship game from three different seasons of 2015 to 2017. The variables analyzed were the result of the game, team category, points obtained in the break point phase, service errors, service aces, reception errors, positive receptions, perfect receptions, reception efficiency, attack errors, blocked attacks, attack points, attack efficiency and blocks performed by both teams participating in the match. The results showed that the variables of team category, points obtained in the break point phase, number of reception errors, and number of blocked attacks by the opponent were important factors of winning or losing the matches. Odds ratios indicated that the odds of winning a volleyball match were greater for the teams belonging to higher rankings and that every additional point in service, dig, receptions, block, and attack increased the odds of winning a match. Every reception and blocked ball error decreased the possibility of winning.

Abstract: This descriptive correlational study aimed to determine the level of knowledge and the level of readiness among basic education teachers of a private university towards inclusion. Ninety-four teachers, which included kindergarten, elementary and junior high school teachers of the university employed during the school year 2017 – 2018 participated in the study. A 5-level Likert scale questionnaire adapted from the study of Hussin et al (2016) was used as an instrument to determine the level of knowledge and readiness of basic education teachers in inclusive education. Mean and correlation coefficient were the statistical tools that were utilized to analyze the data. Findings showed that the basic education teachers were knowledgeable and ready to cater children with special needs in an inclusive classroom. Furthermore, the result showed that there was a significant relationship between level of knowledge and the level of readiness in inclusion among basic education teachers. Teachers with high level of knowledge of inclusion were more likely to have high level of readiness for inclusive classrooms.

Key words: Self-assessment, inclusive education
