Abstract
This study determined the level of competency development among struggling kindergarten learners, focusing on four key domains: Communicating, Collaborating, Personal Awareness, and Social Awareness. This study used the non-experimental descriptive survey research design. The respondents of this study were composed of 183 kindergarten learners in Sta Cruz North District Division of Davao del Sur using the Slovin’s Formula. The data analysis utilized the mean. Using quantitative data, findings revealed that learners demonstrated a high level of competency in Communicating (mean = 3.48) and Collaborating (mean = 3.30), with indicators such as identifying shapes and colors, using simple sentences, showing kindness, and resolving conflicts ranking particularly high. Meanwhile, Personal Awareness (mean = 3.18) and Social Awareness (mean = 3.40) were rated at a moderate level, suggesting occasional manifestation of behaviors such as recognizing emotions, showing empathy, and participating enthusiastically in group activities. These results highlight the importance of structured support and targeted learning strategies in fostering holistic competency development. The findings are consistent with current literature emphasizing communication, collaboration, and social-emotional learning as essential components of early childhood education.
