Abstract:
This study aimed to identify the factors affecting first-year BSED students' writing skills in a selected Local College in Misamis Oriental. To achieve this goal, a fishbowl method-based sampling technique was employed to gather 50 students, focusing on the student's motivation, classroom environment, reliance on applications, and feedback systems. The results revealed that students' motivation played a significant role in their writing abilities, as they were encouraged to write to express themselves and enhance their skills. Furthermore, the classroom environment was found to have an impact on writing skills, with students being more engaged in writing when there was appropriate ventilation. In terms of practical applicability, the use of grammar checkers was found to be useful in improving writing skills. Additionally, the study discovered that the feedback system influenced students' writing abilities, with automatic grading being preferred by students. Overall, the study suggests that the factors that affect motivation also impact writing skills, and creating a conducive learning environment can enhance students' writing abilities.
