Message from the University President

Welcome to the Third De La Salle Araneta University International Multidisciplinary Research Conference!

Foremost, I would like to thank all the speakers, presenters, student- delegates, and guests for your participation in this year’s research conference. Despite the many challenges that we have encountered in the past year, I am also greatly encouraged by the support of other higher learning institutions in this conference: an equivocal testament to our singular and unfaltering belief in the importance of research, not only in molding competent, objective, and critical- minded individuals, but also in solving our current problems and shaping our future.

Leading Sustainable Change and Equitable Resilience. This year’s theme highlights the themes of sustainability, equity, and resilience in the bigger backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With its near-devastating and crippling effects in all aspects of our lives, this global health emergency has paved the way for the much-needed and welcome effect of creating new and strengthening existing research collaborations around the world. Indeed, not only was research invaluable in the development of a vaccine against COVID-19, it has also allowed governments to come up with sustainable, equitable, and effective lifestyle adaptations that have helped stem the wider spread of infection.

The current health crisis has resulted in an unprecedented rise in research collaborations across disciplines, sectors, and industries and has given the public a glimpse of the ubiquity and power of research. As public acceptance of research grows and the adoption of a research mindset becomes more widespread, I am sure that we will be at a better position to tackle new problems and develop solutions to them that are enduring, empowering, and inclusive. Furthermore, I am also certain that research will continue to play an even bigger and central role in our collective goal to build societies that are resilient to large-scale, unprecedented, and seemingly overwhelming challenges that may lie ahead.

To the organizers, I congratulate you for hosting an event of this nature and significance. Thank you for providing a venue for discussion, dialogue, and coordination, despite the many and seemingly overwhelming challenges of the ongoing pandemic. To all our speakers, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise to all of our attendees. To our delegates, I hope that you will be able to take advantage of the things that you have learned from our speakers and that one day, we will be hearing from you as one of our resource speakers in one of our research conferences. To all the attendees, thank you for your willingness to participate in and support this exercise of open dialogue and exchange of ideas and perspectives.

Our times require research that is innovative, socially-responsive, and transformative. It is my sincerest hope that the ongoings of this research conference resonate to a bigger audience and provide opportunities for public discussion, meaningful collaborations, and wider understanding.

Once again, a pleasant morning to us all.

Message from the University Chancellor

I am very happy to welcome all participants and research presenters to our 3rd International Multidisciplinary Research Congress, that we had prepared for all of you to actively interact and generously share best practices and research papers in the area of Multidisciplinary Education, Research and Practice. With this year’s theme of “Leading Sustainable Change and Equitable Resilience,” may our two-day research congress be as meaningful and productive to all of you as it has been for us preparing and organizing this year’s congress. There is always significance and value when experts and professionals of different disciplines come together because it is an opportunity to share ideas and learn from each other. It is my hope and prayer that this research conference will not only bring about new knowledge and information that can be shared and learned by our students, but also start many more interactions and collaborations between educators, practitioners, professionals and researchers amongst our academic institutions. Let us continue to exert much effort to enrich learning resources related to your area of discipline to ensure the future success of students, educators and researchers.

The number of participating schools and delegates from different institutions, to me, is a clear indication of a successful staging of this congress. I congratulate our University Research Center and our different Colleges for a job well done. We look forward to future stagings and implementations of this research congress, with more schools possibly attending and presenting their papers and researches and with a goal of getting greater participation from foreign educational institutions and from different parts of the country, also known for their programs and researches.

May the excitement of this year’s congress move all of us to creating a bigger and better educational environment for all learners of all ages. We look forward to seeing you again here in DLSAU next year, and we hope other institutions are also encouraged to host research congresses like this in your own institutions.

Again, thank you for your attendance and anticipated active participation! I wish all of you a meaningful and productive time with us in this International Multidisciplinary Research Conference! Thank you for your continued support and assistance to DLSAU and our initiatives!

Message from the Vice Chancellor for Academics and Research

The Greek Philosopher Heraclitus once said that the only permanent thing in the world is change. The COVID-19 pandemic gave us the unexpected change that we were not able to prepare well for. Not one individual, organization, and country has seen it coming. The scare brought by the virus spread around the world and in the country has made everyone compassionate, lenient, and caring. This brought out the best in humanity. Innovative and creative studies were brought into the world in various shapes and sizes. Transition is the name of the game in all areas of life especially in our academic and research lives.

This transition according to Kamalludeen(2020) entails that we shift in the following: learning space, delivery (ie, teaching) methods, responsibility in the teaching and learning process., and in learning evaluations. She added that technology plays an important role in this transition. In this transition, one human characteristic that most of us exhibit is resiliency.

Polly (2015) eloquently put it this way,

Traditionally resilience has been defined as the ability to Bounce Back from a difficult time. I like to think about resilience as being transformative. It's about transforming from adversity and coming back stronger and more capable. Those who have developed true resilience welcome change as an opportunity for learning and growth. Resilient people are not immune to change but they are less disrupted by it. They move through change more quickly and positively and tend to be more productive during times of change.

We hope that this 3rd De La Salle Araneta University Conference inspired us to continuously find ways and share our findings on how research can better respond to transitions and changes that affect our holistic teaching and learning experience in the process strengthen our resiliency to effective respond to them.

Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

Message from the Vice Chancellor for Students and Mission

My warmest felicitations to the organizers of this 3rd Multidisciplinary Research Congress on the occasion of De La Salle Araneta University’s 75th Founding Anniversary!

This research congress is indeed a manifestation of the University’s commitment in fulfilling one of its trifocal functions – not only adding to the already vast stock of knowledge but creating it. The effort in sharing these knowledge not only in the local but also at the international level is a proof of this commitment.

I wish to thank the paper presenters as well for sharing valuable research data and information especially in making our lives a little bit more comfortable amidst the pandemic.

Mabuhay po kayong lahat!

Message from the Organizers

This year’s themes of sustainability, equity, and resilience aims to provide a venue for conversations, discussions, and deepen understanding among practitioners, educators, and student on the important role of higher education not only in molding competent, objective, and critical-minded individuals, but also in solving our current problems and shaping our future. More so, this online conference provides a platform for sharing research works and experiences.

We thank all the participants, sponsors, invited speakers, volunteers and those who have contributed to the success of this program.

We wish you a productive two-day research experience with us.

SELF-EFFICACY OF THE LEARNERS: ON THE ROAD TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

Lorilla, Roxanne R. Bataan Peninsula State University [email protected]

Abstract

Self- efficacy refers to the one’s perception of his/her ability to do a task or activity. This thought concerning English language learning and motivation consitute the conceptual framework in designing a questionnaire for students’ motivation toward English language learning. This study used the descriptive-survey research method. It is arranged to gather information about the present existing condition. The participants of this study consisted of 40 grade nine students from Mariveles National High School- Sisiman II S.Y. 2016-2017. To collect the data, the researcher used five-point Likert-type scales. The questionnaire used to identify the students’ motivation towards English language learning was based on the questionnaire used in research report. The data were analyzed by means of frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean and standard deviation. The main findings show that the students are relatively “highly” motivated and found to be slightly more “instrumentally” motivated to learn English. This reveals that instrumental motivation is a significant factor among this group of students learning English. Based on this study’s findings, some relevant and useful motivational learning implications are recommended for enhancement and improvement of the students’ motivation. Relevant language improvement programs and activities are also discussed in accordance with the students’ language difficulties as communicated in the open-ended questions to increase their motivation in English language learning.

THE EFFECTS OF MICROTEACHING FOR PRESERVICE TEACHER: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Liu, Ziying The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong [email protected]

Abstract

Participation in teaching skills training is the key to the professional development of pre-service teachers and microteaching is an important way to help pre-service teachers improve their teaching skills by using information- based teaching technology. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the effects of using microteaching in the teaching skills training of preservice teachers. Through searching English literature databases (Proquest, Whiley Online, and Taylor Francis Online) and the largest Chinese literature database (CNKI) in China, the literature published both in English and Chinese from 2000 to 2020 is reviewed. All literature on randomized controlled trials (RCT) of microteaching among preservice teachers is considered for this systematic analysis. In total, we included 15 studies that satisfied the screening criteria. These included studies indicated that micro-teaching is effective in the improvement of preservice teachers' relevant teaching skills. This review found that although microteaching has been practiced for a long time, only a limited number of teaching experimental studies (RCT) have proved that microteaching is effective in promoting preservice teachers' teaching skills. At the same time, the evidence of micro-teaching practice in China has clear limitations and is currently limited to physical education, and micro-teach should be widely used in experimental research on teaching and learning in pre-service teacher training in other more disciplines.

ANALYSES ON RESEARCH HOTSPOTS AND TRENDS OF INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION BASED ON CITE SPACE VISUALIZATION MAP

Liu, Hongdou The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong [email protected]

Abstract

The essence of internationalization of higher education is to cultivate high-quality talents with global vision, cross-cultural understanding and communication ability, international competitiveness and global competence. This paper applies the method of modern education technology: Cite Space visualization software which is used to analyze the research hotspots and research trends of higher education internationalization. Based on the quantitative analyses of papers on the internationalization of higher education in CNKI and Web of Science databases from 2015 to 2019, the visualization map is drawn through Cite Space software from the perspectives of authors, publishing institutions, journal co-citation, literature co-citation, etc. The results show that domestic institutions such as Beijing Normal University, Zhejiang University, and Xiamen University are active in this research field, and international journals such as "high education", "global social education" and "high education policy" are highly cited journals; The keywords of "localization, inter-school cooperation, the Greater Bay Area, internationalization of education and teaching, cross-border education, academic transfer, Chinese students, challenges" are part of the research hotspots. However, there are also problems, for example, the research methods are unitary and lack of theoretical system and most of the researchers focus more on some macro perspectives such as the development history, but less on the specific educational practice. In the future, the research trend of this topic will be more related to the international situation, from narrow internationalization to broader internationalization.

Abstract

Students’ learning is the ultimate outcome of any educational setting and often measured by their academic achievement. Similarly, there are studies describing the influence of teachers’ instructional practices on students’ learning. However, these teaching competencies are affected by curricular reforms and teaching standards, like the recent implementation of the new K-to-12 curriculum and adoption of the new sets of professional teaching competencies in the Philippines. More particularly, science teachers who are previously trained by discipline, are now confronted to improve their instructional practice to address the demands and expectations of the two said educational drivers. This study investigated the current teaching practices demonstrated in video recorded science instructions and coded using SCOT, a validated content- specific observation tool via Rasch measurement. SCOT has five domains with 60 acceptable items describing the different competencies demonstrated in the different phases of the 7Es learning cycle. 50 videotapes of invited teacher-demonstrators were coded by trained teacher- evaluators. Results identified instructional practices commonly and rarely demonstrated by science teachers in the different phases of science instruction per SCOT’s domain. These quantitative results were supported by qualitative responses culled from content of the interview transcripts with selected teacher- and student-participants. These findings served as empirical evidence for the content and program design needed for in-service training program with the goal of improving instructions as part of the cyclic teacher evaluation system and of promoting reflexive attribute among teachers.

CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF UIGHUR COLLEGE STUDENTS FROM EDUCATIONAL MOBILITY PERSPECTIVE

Wang, Yifei Lo, Sing Kai

The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong [email protected]

Abstract

Educational mobility is a common phenomenon among the youth of ethnic minority students, resulting in “cultural discontinuities” in ethnic culture, which in turn leads to the dilemma of cultural adaptation. We conducted this study to explore the campus culture adaptation of Uighur young college students in Southern China. A total of 16 undergraduate students born in Xinjiang province and studying in Guangdong province were interviewed to examine their daily life as well as their psychological and cultural adaptation. Each interview lasted for up to 120 minutes. The conversations concentrated on learning difficulties, geographical and social adaptation, and the use of language. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was employed for data analysis. The findings show that although there are significant differences in climate between south and northwest China, participants generally could adapt to the weather in six months. There were no major problems in terms of dietary adaptation as halal canteens and restaurants can commonly be found in Guangdong. In terms of learning, language was the main hurdle; it was more difficult for those who attended high schools in which Putonghua was not used as the medium of instruction. Moreover, as Cantonese is more commonly used in daily life in Guangdong, participants expressed that it is a big challenge for them, especially when they first arrived. All participants agreed that the Lingnan culture and the degree of internationalization in South China has provided them with an excellent opportunity to experience living in a multi-cultural society. Through educational mobility, Uyghur students were able to integrate their own cultural background with mainstream social culture to create a new cultural capital and development space during the stay in South China.

REVITALIZING THE EXISTENT BUT FORGOTTEN BATAAN LITERARY LEGACY Garcia, Loida L. Roldan,Lorna R. Jaring, Aymie G. Porgatorio, Ceejay O. Perez, Jayvee D.

Bataan Peninsula State University,Bataan, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

The paper is an initial attempt to revitalize the extant and available Bataan literature that for centuries have been kept but forgotten. It is interesting to explore how the Bataeño character has been molded by the three-fold Spanish, American and Japanese conquests. This diverse background is bound to manifest in the writings of early writers. To date, no anthology on Bataan literature has been published; hence this paper responds to an urgent need on reviving regional literature. In a wider perspective, the study of Bataan literature would disclose a racial context of the early and the present-day Bataeños. The previous collection of Bataan literature has been completed in 1953 but has remained kept and uncirculated. They are found to be mostly folklores, and woefully, the volumes of works bestowed by the 20th century homegrown writers have become inaccessible until the present time. The study aims to resurface this literary legacy by employing its own retrieval process to recover the existing but elusive Bataan writings. Findings show that the retrieved folklores existed even before the pre-colonial period and the early writers have bequeathed a literary heritage that merits a restoration and a long-delayed gratitude towards these authors who have mirrored in their texts a cultural peculiarity.

Abstract

The shifting education paradigms calls for 21st century skills which include collaboration, critical thinking, communication and creativity (4Cs). Thus, basic education teachers are prompted to adapt the imperatives of 21st century skills and innovate in response to new demands to attain and sustain quality education. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of technology-enriched teaching in support to Quality Education in the 21st Century. The teachers were capacitated and empowered by qualified trainers to integrate relevant digital technology in the teaching and learning process. This study utilized qualitative method through the Logic Model of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework. The logic model was used in theory- based evaluation, which is designed to explicitly articulate the underlying theory of change that shapes a transformational extension project. Results revealed that quality education can be achieved through technology-enriched teaching. Therefore, the adaption and utilization of the numerous digital technologies in the 21st century teaching and learning has brought significant changes in the delivery of instruction.

LEVEL OF STRESS, MINDFULNESS, AND CLINICAL PERFORMANCE OF CLINICAL CLERKS AND POST-GRADUATE INTERNS ON CLINICAL ROTATIONS IN SELECTED HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS: BASIS FOR A STRESS MANAGEMENT AND MINDFULNESS PROGRAM

Palisoc, Erwin D. Manila Central University

Abstract

This study determined the level of stress, mindfulness, and clinical performance of clinical clerks and post-graduate interns on clinical rotations in selected healthcare institutions. A researcher-made questionnaire was prepared and administered in four (4) selected health care institutions with one hundred ten (110) clinical clerks and post-graduate interns as respondents. The results revealed that the average overall level of stress of the respondents was 2.35 which means mild level of stress. The respondents’ mindfulness was also determined. Overall, the mean responses were around three (3), which means that they agreed in all areas of the five (5) facets of mindfulness. Likewise, the overall clinical performance of all interns was also assessed based on standard evaluation tool. Their grades ranged from 76 to 91% with an average grade of 85.35%. Only sex and religion yielded significant relationship with the level of stress of the respondents. None of the demographic variables yielded a significant relationship. In terms of the association between the socio-demographic profiles and the clinical performance of respondents, only clinical department of rotation and religion yielded significant relationship with clinical performance. This study also found an inverse relationship between the level of stress and mindfulness of the respondents. In terms of the relationship between the level of stress and clinical performance, the result showed that there was no significant relationship between the level of stress and clinical performance based on the grades of the respondents. Likewise, there was no significant relationship between mindfulness and clinical performance of the respondents. Comparing the clinical performance of the respondents according to the different socio-demographic profiles, the results showed that there was a significant difference in the clinical performance according to clinical department of rotation and eating habits. Lastly, no significant difference was noted in comparing the stress level, mindfulness, and clinical performance between clinical clerks and post-graduate interns.

SCHOOL ATTITUDE AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS FROM A RELOCATION AREA IN CAVITE: BASIS FOR A PLANNED SCHOOL/CLASSROOM MOTIVATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Tangan, Mark Anthony T.

Department of Education-Cavite Province [email protected]

Abstract

This descriptive study was conducted to determine the relationship between school attitude of students from a relocation area in Cavite and their academic performance in order to devise school/classroom motivational activities. The study was based on the concept interpreted by Godwin and Okoronka (2015) of the Congruity Theory. The questionnaire used was adopted in the SAAS-R- School Attitude Assessment Survey-Revised developed by McCoach and Siegle (2013) as the means of gathering the data. The respondents of the study were 122 students residing from a relocation area in Cavite, Philippines. t-test and F-test or one-way ANOVA were used to test the significant differences in school attitude of students according their demographic profile. Pearson Product Moment Correlation were also used to test the significant relationship between school attitude of students and their academic performance. Findings reveal that only students school attitude under dimension Goal Valuation are rated strongly agree and the other dimensions namely: Attitude toward Teachers and Classes, Attitude toward School, and Motivation and Self-Regulation are rated agree. Academic Self- Perception is rated slightly agree. The comparison of school attitude to the demographic profile reveals that the overall attitude is significantly different in terms of gender. There is significant relationship only between Goal Valuation and Academic Performance in Araling Panlipunan. This study recommends that the attitude of the respondents should be sustained particularly towards teachers and classes, attitude towards school, goal valuation, motivation and self- regulation. Improvement on academic self-perception is needed to build stronger self-belief that they are intelligent and smart. In addition, conducting remedial classes and peer tutoring to the respondents is necessary to improve academic performance. This study is recommended as reference for the future researchers for further studies involving more students from different relocation areas.

Abstract

With the modern society and economic climate, families tend to shift to dual-earner family setup, thus, challenging the traditional gender ideology as well as the spouses’ marital satisfaction. The study aimed to examine the relationship between egalitarian ideology and marital satisfaction among dual-earner couples. The present researchers utilized the Attitudes Toward Women Scale (Short Version) to determine the gender ideology and the 15-item ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale to obtain the marital satisfaction. A total of 122 individuals or 61 dual-earner couples participated in the study around Metro Manila and nearby provinces. The results found that there is a positive correlation between egalitarian ideology and marital satisfaction among dual-earner couples (r= .241). The results also show that there is no significant difference between the respondents’ sex and their marital satisfaction (t= -.264, p= .792), as well as between the respondents’ sex and egalitarian ideology (χ2=.615, df=1). Marital quality will not be compromised by having an egalitarian ideology; such gender role attitude improves marital satisfaction due to the nonconformity on traditional norms. Furthermore, the researchers recommend the consideration of other factors that affect marital satisfaction and the formulation of tests that are based on the Filipino context for further studies.

THE CHALLENGE OF CULTURAL RESILIENCE: TEACHING BAMBOO CHORDOPHONES FROM THE STANDPOINT OF KULITONG (KALINGA, PHILIPPINES) AND PARATUOKNG MUSICIANS (SARAWAK, MALAYSIA)

Muyco, Maria Christine

University of the Philippines-College of Music [email protected]

Abstract

In the midst of glocal exposures and influences, cultural resilience is constantly being challenged in traditional communities. My ethnographic research in 2016 through the support of Japan Foundation Asia Center (JFAC) introduced me to Malaysia’s Bidayuh musicians, particularly Paratuokng musician Arthur Borman, who shared that tourists visit their longhouse frequently and his music becomes part of a commodified package to showcase tradition. Thus, he keeps the “traditional” form of teaching his instrument (in oral/demonstration mode) to people. He sees this as his way to keep his community socio-politically and economically alive while he develops students that are adept in traditional music. On the other hand, Kalinga-born Benicio Sokkong, one of The Philippine’s specialists of the kulitong, a bamboo zither that has similar characteristics with the Paratuokng, similarly believes in keeping the traditional means of transmitting knowledge and practices. However, his means to teach extends to more innovative means, combining oral and print methodologies. Whether in community or in academic setting, he introduces a visual guide or manuscript/score. I ask: “What has brought him to this mode of transmitting knowledge? What are the demands of his community facing socio-economic realities and where does his music teaching fit in? Reber (1995, 177) includes the passing of values, standards, and norms in his definition of cultural transmission. It is a process and it includes resistance to change, as well as adaptability. In aiming to find out how these musicians/educators exercise resiliency, I look at their standing philosophies as educators. Given the challenges of modernity and flux, I realize that their philosophies matter in the content and context of transmitting knowledge.

Abstract

Non-suicidal self-injurious behavior (NSSI) or deliberate self-harming behavior (DHB) is a significant mental health issue today. It is a deviant act commonly used by people who have been overwhelmed with stress and strong emotion. The psychological distress experienced by incarcerated Filipinos makes them among the vulnerable population engaged in self-injurious acts. This narrative synthesis paper aims to integrate qualitative researches on the engagement of incarcerated people to self-harming behavior. Using a pre-defined search strategy, the databases were searched for related terms to self-harm and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior in the forensic setting. The fifteen evaluated studies from peer-reviewed journals which were published between 2005-2020, met the inclusion criteria. Data obtained were analyzed thematically. Two general views were generated from the eligible articles, of which eight more views emerged as integrated in the Yin Yang of Self-Harming Behavior in Prison. These findings strengthen the need to comprehensively study this complex behavior in incarceration, as it necessitates intensive training for prison staff and officials in the management of self-harmers and the development of programs geared towards awareness and promotion of mental health among the prisoners.

Abstract

Family support is invariably needed all throughout the life span, from birth to death. Previous studies exhausted an array of qualitative and quantitative methods to encapsulate the importance of family support among older adults since its absence is linked to mental health problems. While global and local initiatives exist to mitigate mental health geriatric concerns in the Philippines, there is a continuing imperative to contextualize how older adults collectively make sense of their death and interment coping perspectives. This study utilized an arts-based methodology to have an emic understanding about family support in death anxiety and interment stress is metaphorically interpreted by a select group of Filipino older adults (n=61, aged 60-75). Using the three-step metaphor analysis, doodles and object-centered interviews were carefully analyzed and emergent themes afforded the Gear of Family Support model. This model shows three interlocking gears elucidating how family support is characterized by power gears, (The Power of Being There, The Power of Rising Above and The Power of Going Beyond) fueled by cognitive and affective states of the older adults. These extend to practical, financial and emotional support (comforting moves), learning, adaptability and acceptance (edifying moves), and deepening faith and spiritual reconciliation (transcending moves). Implications of this emerged model to mental health in geriatrics, gerontological psychology, educational gerontology and developmental psychology are discussed in this paper. Projectingly, findings of this inquiry may provide globally significant insights for mental health and family advocates, and program-implementers to strengthen psycho-social, psycho-education and psycho-spiritual initiatives for the older adults.

IMPLEMENTATION OF OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION IN THE RESIDENCY TRAINING OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY HEAD AND NECK SURGERY IN THE PHILIPPINES

Almazan, Maria Natividad A.

Manila Central University, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

The Ad Hoc Committee in Outcome-Based Education (OBE) introduced the new educational program for Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (ORLHNS) Residency Training in 2017. The author determined the implementation of the OBE program among the consultants and residents. The study used a researcher-made questionnaire, four-point rating scale and a Focused Group Discussion (FGD) to explore the challenges of the OBE. The study was conducted at 30 training institutions, 19 at the National Capital Region (NCR), 7 at Luzon, 2 at Visayas and 2 at Mindanao. The respondents consisted of 129 consultants and 82 residents. Majority of the consultant respondents were males, 40 to 49 years old, more than 3 years in the department, tenured, working at a government institution, with administrative positions, and had attended a workshop on OBE. Majority of the resident respondents were males, 25 to 29 years old, 2nd to 4th year levels, working at a government institution, and had attended an OBE workshop. There was a correlation of the age among the consultants and the attendance in OBE workshops among the residents with the implementation of the OBE. There was no difference between the consultants and residents assessment of the extent of implementation. The FGD added information on time constraints and familiarization of the OBE. In conclusion, the 3 stages of OBE that included Intended Learning Outcome (ILO), Teaching and Learning Activities (TLA) and Assessment Tasks (AT) were “fully implemented” among the consultants and residents in the ORLHNS Residency Training Program.

Abstract

Higher education institutions are one of the affected sectors of Philippine society when the enhanced community quarantine was imposed due to COVID-19 pandemic. This study explored a new psychological construct – Coronavirus anxiety and attempted to identify its predictors. Involving 342 employees from a state university, both in teaching and non-teaching positions, Coronavirus anxiety, perceived stress, financial anxiety, mental health continuum, and coping strategies were measured using standardized psychological tests. Data showed that respondents rarely experienced Coronavirus anxiety. They also have low levels of perceived stress and financial anxiety. Consequently, they manifest good sense of mental health or wellbeing. Furthermore, religiosity was found to be the most common coping style among the state university employees. However, it was not related to Coronavirus anxiety. Regression analysis revealed that social support decreases the chance of experiencing Coronavirus anxiety, while perceived stress and financial anxiety predicted an increase in Coronavirus anxiety. Recommendations for workplace policies and programs based on the results of the study were hereby put forth.

Abstract

Hydroponics, the use of any inert growing medium to substitute soil, a process that would be suitable in areas with an abundance of water and inadequate conditions of the soil for growth. And in the age of global urbanization such conditions are becoming more prevalent. Thus, this study was dedicated to not only enhance the conventionality of urban farming when regarding to hydroponics. Also, to automate and regulate its fundamental processes, the water flow, the infusion of the nutrient solution, the water temperature and the gathering and analysis of data. A total of 16 plants were grown and observed in the automated hydroponics set-up, 16 (Lactuca sativa) seedlings. And, the automation of the set-up is done with Arduino programming with the Blynk® application as the platform for presentation the data, coupled with sensors that monitored the following parameters: the pH analog sensor for the pH, Arduino’s hygrometer for the humidity and atmospheric temperature, the float sensor for the water level and the thermistor for the water temperature. The growth of the plants, and the accuracy of the sensors was analyzed with the use of the difference percentage formula. The findings of the study showed that the sensors used had a 99% accuracy rate proving the sensors were accurate enough to use. And the plants’ growth in different aspects such as leaf growth, and stem growth showed that the automated hydroponics set-up was an effective growing environment for the plant species.

Abstract

An information system named, eNay Barangay Maternal and Child Healthcare Information System (BMCHIS) was developed to make the recording and reporting of maternal and child healthcare services of barangay health workers in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya easier and faster. It was initially deployed and installed in one (1) barangay of Bayombong. To maximize its utilization and increase the number of barangays that will benefit from eNay BMCHIS, it will be deployed in all barangays of Bayombong. To further improve it, a usability and acceptability assessment was conducted. A three (3) part questionnaire was developed to determine the usability and acceptability of the system. The questionnaire includes items that will determine the frequency of computer usage, computer self-efficacy, eNay BMCHIS’s usability and acceptability. The Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ) was utilized to assess the system’s usability in terms of perceived system usefulness, information quality, interface quality and overall satisfaction. The researchers used frequency, percentage, correlation and regression, the mean and standard deviation to analyze the data. Findings revealed that there was a positive relationship between the frequency of computer usage and computer self-efficacy. The eNay BMCHIS the result of its perceived usability was not affected by the respondents’ computer self- efficacy. Although the satisfaction rating in all areas of usability criteria was high, the information quality which had the lowest computed rating will have to be improved. Furthermore, the results of the study showed that eNay BMCHIS has a positive usability and acceptability assessment.

The study was conducted primarily to verify the usefulness of the recommended Boar Semen Cryopreservation protocol based on the USDA procedure at the National Animal Germplasm Program with specific objectives to cryopreserve boar semen using the Lactose Egg Yolk (LEY) freezing procedure and to compare the two extenders (Androhep and Beltsville Thawing Solution) used for the transport of ejaculated boar semen from a locally raised boar studs of known fertility. Seven trials (n=7) were done with Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS) and Androhep extenders. Following semen collection, evaluation for macroscopic and microscopic characteristics was done. T-Test was used to determine the differences between the two treatments (P<0.05). Results showed numerical difference in the mean values for initial volume of sperm (2.9714±0.8558 and 3.5286±0.8939), pH level (7.21±0.5669 and 7.42±0.189), sperm concentration (2.3557±0.5719 and 2.96± 1.1061), percentage motility prior to addition of LEY (67.857±4.8795 and 69.286±6.0749), percentage sperm liveability (71.448±7.44 and 71.69± 5.6328) and percentage normal sperm (83.571±3.8235 and 82.429± 4.6853) for Androhep and BTS respectively. However, both treatment means did not differ significantly. Also, the result showed a numerical difference in post-thaw motility (24.286±10.177 and 25.714±11.701), post-thaw percentage sperm liveability (28.114±8.5257 and 34.197±10.505) and percentage normal sperm (21.862±2.9496 and 19.357±2.8636) for Androhep and BTS respectively, but did not differ significantly in T-test. Moreover, the USDA cryopreservation protocol using LEY cooling and freezing extender which was optimized by the study proved to be feasible under the Philippine laboratory condition as comparable results were achieved.

De La Salle Araneta University, Malabon, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract This phenomenological study was done in order to understand how students who experienced the conducting Science Investigatory Projects (SIP) affected them in doing research in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) strand in Senior High School and further explain the impact of conducting SIPs to them as STEM students. Five (5) Grade 12 STEM students who also studied in De La Salle Araneta University, in which SIP is being implemented in Junior High School, by answering semi-structured interview questions. The respondents have specified the important skills that they have acquired from conducting SIP in their junior high school, which includes critical thinking and data collection, as well with the so- called “soft skills” such as communication and time management. From these skills, they were able to apply it on their Practical Research subject in their Senior High School and as a STEM student, it really helped them a lot, especially in completing their academic tasks, whether it is on a STEM-related subject or not. This clearly states that the implementation of SIP created a positive impact on the students as they were able to develop all the skills needed as a STEM student, especially in conducting research works.

[email protected]

Abstract

Globalization and migration has made a great impact on the lives of individuals locally and internationally. Global village and translocality are just two of the many concepts surrounding these realities. This study was conducted to look into the causes and effects of migration among indigenous Ifugao migrant settlers who were born from their place of origin. This descriptive study utilized the life history and phenomenological research methods to determine whether or not translocality and cultural differentiation is at work among them and determine the challenges and opportunities in the migration process as well as current condition of these indigenous migrant settlers. These migrants are farmers having their roots from Lagawe, Ifugao who, in the early 1960s, travelled in search for land. They were forced to move out from their place of origin due to the harshness of life brought about by the shortage of land. The lands that they have were either given as inheritance, it was sold or is not enough to sustain their families. The research locale provided their basic needs of shelter, food and education for their children but initially at the expense of social discrimination, continuous cultural challenges and abandonment of their native land. But while being socially discriminated, their culture being challenged and totally separating themselves from their native land, they are still proud to say that they are Ifugaos. They have identified themselves with the land that made them survived and so they are not anymore i-Lagawe but the earth people (i-pugo) of their current residence. Thus, translocality does not work among indigenous Ifugao migrant settlers but cultural differentiation is a phenomenon at work between and among them.

Abstract

This paper looked upon the 277 collegiate students burden and distress in Zambales, Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown through the COVID-19 Pandemic Mental Health Questionnaire (CoPaQ). The respondent’s reported distress during lockdown resulted to avoidance of the external reminders on the experiences of the covid-19 pandemic (e.g. People, places, conversations, objects, activities, or situations) (WM=2.73; SD= .821) and sleep problems (WM=2.71; SD=1.020). Added to this, the majority strongly agreed that they were burdened and had fears of what the future will bring, or that they won't be able to cope with everything (WM=3.19; SD= .863) and also had burdens regarding their concerns for the integrity of family members or friends (WM=3.18; SD=.814). Ultimately, the result expresses that the COVID-19 pandemic crisis lockdown caused burden and distress among the collegiate student of Zambales, Philippines. The distress was identified as external reminders on the experiences of the covid-19 pandemic (e.g. People, places, conversations, objects, activities, or situations), sleep and rest; whereas the identified burdens were fears about the future and integrity for family members or friends. This study recommends that results be made aware to all collegiate student so as to let them know the types of distress and burdens that were commonly reported during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Educational institutions may implement programs that promotes calmness and activities for managing anxiety and fear among collegiate students. The study recommends also for further studies since this maybe an eye-opener to implement specific counselling services and programs that are tailor-fitted to the needs of collegiate students within the Philippines. It may further assess the impact of the pandemic crisis lockdown to the mental health of students by using the identified types of distress and burdens as the impact constructs.

Abstract

This investigation is designed to explore the experiences of college instructors on the preparation of Online Learning Modules (OLMs). The case study approach was employed and the main mode of data gathering was the conduct of online interviews. The study involved five college instructors, who volunteered to participate in this study. The online interviews were conducted using an online conference platform and the sessions were recorded. The interview sessions were transcribed, coded and categorized in order to arrive at the prevailing themes. Moreover, the self-evaluation survey questionnaire on their module-making experience was also utilized. It was found out that the participants felt anxious and challenged at first, but slowly those negative feelings started to diminish as they were able to produce the modules. Moreover, it was revealed that the support of the administrators helped in their module-writing tasks. Meanwhile, examination of the module design and instructional flow showed that the modules considered in this study were aligned with the the schools’ pedagogical framework. However, the need to include variations in terms of multiple ways of delivery, format, skill building opportunities, etc. is suggested to further help the instructors and students, thereby making the learning more meaningful. It was further emphasized that providing students several ways of interacting with the learning materials tend to reduce stress as students are given variety of options in submitting the needed outputs.

INTENSIFYING QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL SUPERVISION THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF STAR (SCHOOL-BASED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR RATERS) PATROL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE

Ibañez, Alejandro G. Meduranda, Marco D.

Department of Education Schools Division Office - Navotas City, Philippines

Abstract

A paradigm shift on the approach to instructional leadership has been documented in various researches (Southworth, 2002; Mc Millan & Schumacher, 2009; Van Deventer, 2016; Sindvhad, Richardson, Ivanov, Lingat, 2020). From inspectorial, bureaucratic and evaluative, more effective supervisory practices in schools pivot towards democratic, participatory and supportive approaches. This refers to the transformation of instructional supervision from stigma to suporta (Ibanez, Loo & Tolentino, 2019). This paper aimed to develop a division-initiated instructional supervision guide that is aligned with research-based effective supervisory practices, existing DepEd policies on performance management of teachers and findings from the implementation of the Division STAR (School-based Technical Assistance for Raters) Patrol project, an initiative that aims to intensify the technical assistance of the SDO to schools. The guide presents the five phases of instructional supervision in SDO Navotas namely: pre-observation conference, actual classroom observation, inter-rater deliberation, post- observation conference and technical assistance provision. Protocols from these phases were refined based on the qualitative data from observations, accomplished supervisory tools and focus group discussions collected from the pilot implementation of Project STAR Patrol. Further enhancements were undertaken to harmonize instructional supervision procedures to the realities of remote teaching and learning brought by the COVID 19 health crisis. The document also underwent reviews and validation from local instructional leaders and teachers to ensure clarity, accuracy and preciseness of guidelines.

Abstract

The University of the Philippines Men’s Volleyball Team’s training program stopped as soon as community quarantine was implemented in the Philippines. Determining the effects of quarantine regulations on the athletes’ perceived athletic level and well-being was necessary in order to formulate adaptive strategies to reinforce resilience and ensure well-being of athletes during the COVID-19 crisis. Surveys, focus group discussions and key informant interviews were conducted to determine such effects and other prevailing environmental factors on the physical fitness, nutrition status and stress levels of the student-athletes. There was a decrease in the perceived athletic level early on due to the cessation of training. This improved as time for exercise increased alongside easing of restrictions. Adaptive measures that emerged ranged from stationary exercises, stretching to household chores. There was a shift in nutrition habits leading to slight weight gain, though the body mass index remained normal. Majority felt stressed with feelings of boredom, anger and anxiety being the most prevalent. Formulation of a virtual volleyball varsity program employing certain adaptive strategies to address the adverse effects of quarantine and on-line learning on student-athletes was carried out. Needs-based programming was done in creating a holistic virtual volleyball program that used safe spaces and resources at home. Pep talk activities allowed for the cultivation of good team dynamics. Meetings with invited resource persons on a wide range of topics provided a respite from the rigors of academic life while the virtual program served as a platform for continued physical activity, resilience and wellness.

Abstract

RA 10533 through the K to 12 basic education program of DepEd seeks to create holistically developed learners who can think globally and can act locally. This suggests that learners should be given opportunities to sharpen creative and critical thinking competencies, problem-solving and communication skills in real-life contexts that will enable them to address local problems using global mindset towards becoming a global citizen. This paper traces the development of Project GLACE or Global Learning through Active Citizenship Education, an after-school program that seeks to enhance students global citizenship skills through service learning activities and off-school intercultural experiences. Using the 4-I's (Inquire, Investigate, Innovate and Impact), selected teachers were able to develop afterschool learning sessions aligned with Global Citizenship Education (GCEd) themes and competencies. GCED concepts were taught for 10 weeks with the first five weeks exploring the themes of social justice and equity, identity and diversity, self-awareness and reflection, concern for the environment and commitment to sustainable development and commitment to participation and inclusion. 354 Grade 9-12 students and 27 teachers from 9 public high schools in Navotas City participated in the initiative. Besides, the afterschool learning activities on GCEd, participants also visited embassies to widen their international understanding. Initial outcomes reveal improvement of global citizenship attitudes in the participants. Students' outputs showed improved collaboration and critical thinking skills. As a result, schools have supported the continuation and expansion of Project GLACE in the city.

Abstract

This research sought to determine the effectiveness of an enrichment program for pre- clinical dentistry courses in a higher education institution (HEI). The respondents of the study were 39 junior clinicians from the College of Dentistry (COD) of the selected HEI enrolled in AY 2018 – 2019. This study stemmed from the aspiration of the COD to improve their board rating in the National Dental Licensure Board Examination governed by the Philippine Regulation Commission, as the performance from the previous batches had majority of the examinees failed in the theoretical phase of the examination. The enrichment program was strategized by subjecting the respondents to a pre-test, one-hour lecture, and post-test in all their pre-clinical courses: Anesthesiology, Oral Pathology I, Orthodontics I, Prosthodontics II, Prosthodontics III, and Restorative Dentistry III. The researcher monitored the program scheduled every Tuesday of the whole school year. Results were endorsed by the Integrated Comprehensive Review Committee to the researcher for tallying. The results of the study revealed that the pre- and post- tests have significant relationship with their general weighted average. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the respondents’ pre- and posttest score in all their pre-clinical subjects except in Prosthodontics III. Whence, in conclusion, an enrichment program is an effective intervention as the results revealed the difference of the pre- and post-test that in its entirety, the program made a difference. By executing this kind of method and strategy, the program is a very helpful tool as to prepare them to take their board examination.

Abstract

Play is the lifeblood of children. One would easily suspect that all is not well with a child when a day goes by without the child engaged in some form of play. Unfortunately, many children in today’s world stay in active and often remain indoors instead of engaging in play that involves social and physical activities. Furthermore, children who have experienced abuse or neglect are often withdrawn from constructive play that would otherwise be therapeutic in dealing with post trauma. Some of these children also find way to the established rehabilitation centers by the Department of Social Welfare and development (DSWD). Limited studies have investigated the role of “play” in the lives of abused children living in the rehabilitation centers. This case study used psychoanalytic and Piaget’s cognitive theories of play to explore the role of play in the rehabilitation of children who have experienced abuse and live in a rehabilitation center. A purposive sampling was used to select 10 participants. The data was collected through individual interviews, audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed with the aid of HyperResearch software. The analysis was done thematically by coding and categorizing. The themes that emerged show that the rehabilitation center provides social support and organized intervention activities that include play in the children’s daily program. Play provides coping mechanisms and holistic development in the lives of the abused children to cope with past trauma, develop positive emotions, and social skills among others. Implementation of a research based play facilities is suggested.

Abstract

Guidance Program in every school requires to adapt to different needs of students to be effective. To address the needs, this study sought to determine the status of implementation of guidance services of Dalandanan National High School, and to identify the challenges that the guidance counselor and staff face to meet the call of the times. The results of this study were used to propose and enhance the guidance program of the school. Using purposive sampling technique, 194 out of 378 students who have availed guidance services answered the questionnaires. Twenty teachers and 20 parents participated in the interview. The students perceived that the guidance office is attaining its objectives, mission and vision. Material resources and facilities were not available for testing room, testing materials and school brochure. On the other hand, the status of implementation was found positive because individual inventory, information service, counseling, parent and staff consultation, placement and special services were found to be implemented satisfactorily. However, the follow-up service was found to be slightly implemented. When it comes to the challenges that the guidance office faces, teachers and parents believed that the guidance office had difficulties accommodating all students in the school. Moreover, the office was challenged to manage the number of students engaging in risky behavior and impose proper intervention measures to students who repeatedly violated rules and regulations. Thus, enhanced guidance program in different services based on the problems gathered in the study was proposed to address relevant issues and problems concerning students.

GENDER RESPONSIVE LEADERSHIP TRAINING SKILLS FOR STRENGTHENING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MAGNA FOR WOMEN OR RA 9710 AMONG THE MARGINALIZED WOMEN AND GIRLS OF ILIGAN CITY

Silor, Adelfa C.

Northern Mindanao, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

This research study aims to conduct a gender responsive leadership training activities to help strengthen the implementation of the Magna Carta for Women or RA 9710 especially to the marginalized women from the seven (7) barangays of Iligan City. Since the Magana Carta for Women is a comprehensive women’s human rights law that seeks to eliminate discrimination against women by recognizing, protecting, fulfilling and promoting the rights of Filipino women, especially those in marginalized sector, Magna Carta of Women (Republic Act No. 9710), gender responsive leadership training for women is also needed to understand the root causes of violence in their communities. This leadership skills training is also a strategy to educate women and involve their peers and communities to prevent such violence, and to learn about where to access support if violence is experienced. The method used in this research study is through conducting gender responsive leadership skills trainings to the marginalized women from selected barangays in Iligan City. Before the trainings, the focus group discussion (FGD) was used in determining the knowledge and awareness of the marginalized women about the implementation of Magna of Women (RA 9710) in their respective barangays. The results of FGD was the basis of choosing the topics for the gender responsive leadership skills trainings and the formulation of quantitative questionnaire which was given to the participants after the trainings. Based from the activities conducted, findings reveal that the gender responsive leadership skills trainings, empower the women participants to challenge gender stereotypes and prevent violence against women and girls in their communities. Once marginalized women possess leadership, it shall promote empowerment and pursue equal opportunities for women and men and ensure equal access to resources and to development results and outcome(RA 9710).

Abstract

This experimental research determined the acceptability in terms of appearance, aroma, texture, flavor and general acceptability of waffle enriched with sweetened jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) in different proportions. Five treatments were used in the study, four of them utilized sweetened jackfruit at various proportions and one treatment was used as the control group which utilized powdered milk. Thirty respondents evaluated the finished products using a modified sensory evaluation score sheet based on Nine Point Hedonic Scale. The statistical tools used were the means, standard deviation, One – Way Analysis of Variance, and the LSD set at .05 alpha level. The taste of treatment C was “liked extremely”. Treatment D was rated by respondents as “liked extremely” both in taste and general acceptability. On the other hand, the rest of the treatments were rated as “liked very much” in terms of appearance, aroma, texture, taste and general acceptability. These results led to the conclusion that there is a significant difference that existed in the level of acceptability of waffle enriched with sweetened jackfruit in terms of taste. Treatment D proximate composition analysis showed that crude protein content (6.15 g/100g), ash content (0.96 g/100g), total fat (9.69 g/100g), carbohydrate (49.79 g/100g), moisture (33.41 g/100g) and energy (311 kcal/100g). Treatment D nutrition facts showed that calories (160 kcal), calories from fat (45 kcal), total fat (5 g), total carbohydrates (25 g) and calories (3 g).

Polytechnic University of the Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

This study is conducted to determine how effective the Family Planning Information Education and Communication Materials developed by USAID’s Communication for Health Advancement Through Networking and Governance Enhancement (CHANGE) in the attention, interest, knowledge and attitude of an economically challenged community in Barangay Bagtas in the municipality of Tanza, Cavite. The researcher used survey method. In applying the AIDA Model, it was revealed that majority of the IEC materials captured the attention and the interest of the target community. The project was successful communicating its key messages and were consistent throughout the answers. However, the positive results in the respondent’s knowledge towards Family Planning (FP) still did not attribute to the respondents’ positive attitude towards FP. With this, it is suggested for Family Planning projects to be able to effectively communicate its advocacy, it should highlight the role of communication in the project by conducting a detailed situational and audience analysis before the IEC development so that the implementers may produce messages that are suited to the communication needs of its target audience. it is important to highlight more on the importance of using a Family Planning method and not just using a Family Planning that suits them. Projects should communicate the gravity of these issues because these are being taken for granted most of the time.

CLASSROOM SENSE OF COMMUNITY AS A CONSEQUENCE OF ENJOYABLE AND NON-ENJOYABLE ACTIVITY

Diaz, Jay P.

President Ramon Magsaysay State University Iba, Zambales [email protected]

Abstract

A sense of community is a feeling of membership and belonging. Many researchers argued that factors affecting sense of community are limited, most especially in the school setting. Moreover, psychologists seemed to have viewed sense of community as a vague psychological construct. However, it is noteworthy to dig deeper into its understanding and how it affects a student’s subjective well-being. The study seeks to find out if an enjoyable activity affects the classroom sense of community. The researcher hypothesized a significant difference in the sense of community among students when exposed to enjoyable activity compared to those who perform a non-enjoyable one. The researcher used a sequential explanatory method design to achieve its purpose. There are twenty (20) grade eleven (11) students who participated in the study. An independent sample t-test was conducted to compare the sense of community in enjoyable and non-enjoyable conditions. The result showed that there was no significant difference in connectedness among the enjoyable group and the non-enjoyable group. Further, Cohen's d effect size value suggests high practical significance. The outcome may not support the hypothesis; however, the participants’ feelings on shared emotional connection were experienced by both groups, as revealed in the qualitative phase. Nonetheless, the connection was viewed differently by them. The non-enjoyable group tends to relate their feelings of sense of community from a relationship already established among their peers. In contrast, those who belonged to the enjoyable group tend to ground their sense of community towards the activity itself. Thus, researchers may test the findings using a bigger sample size.

LAS PIÑAS HISTORICAL CORRIDORS IN THE MILLENNIUM: SUSTAINING HERITAGE PRESERVATION THROUGH AN EQUITABLE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Tangian, Cecilia B.

Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology [email protected]

Abstract

The city of Las Piñas is one of the highly urbanized cities of Metro Manila, in the Philippines. The rising Metropolis is also equated with iconic eighteen (18) tangible Historical landmarks strategically situated across its urban space. These heritage zones came to be known as the Historical Corridor or the Las Piñas Tourism Plan are all found in the “Lumang Bayan” or in the old town parallel to Manila Bay. The strip corridor was once the economic zones of traditional livelihood like salt making, brick production, rice agriculture and dried fish technology paving the way as the recent intangible and tangible heritage. Moreover, within the perimeter of the corridor found the socio-cultural artifact as product of Spanish influence at Las Piñas. These are the original architecture with brick structures like the church with an inside bamboo organ, boundary arch, fire station, library, people’s park, school, fishport, Irasan, Fr. Cera Bridge, trauma Center and hospital, public hall, centennial flyover, statue, colonial fence, police station, park, old house, museum and a dam. The paper presents the factors attributed to complexities of heritage preservation while gaining urban development. Among these are the real estate infrastructure, south superhighways, high rise condominiums and industrial complexes. The paper argued that adoptive reuse on all the existing structures are essential for urban Development and sustainability. The study also sought to understand the resiliency of people’s displacement from the old town to far flung residences as infrastructures have been erected. It also examine the “contested space” of agricultural lands converted into a memorial parks and C3 expansion. The use of archival materials; official documents; church records; personal manuscripts, private artifact collection and photo documentation of the actual structures are being considered. Oral testimonies from various informants and respondents of all sectors at Las Piñas were interviewed and consulted for corroboration purposes. The findings of the study revealed that the passage of the Republic Act or the RA 8003 which provides for the institutionalization of cultural and historical landmarks of the city, dubbed as the Las Piñas Historical Plan (LPHP) became integral in the implementation of rules, policies and procedures and even for legislative agenda on heritage. Research Findings also show that selfless leadership; citizen’s orientation & historical knowledge; spirit of patriotism; economic transparency; social commitment; financial support and inclusivity are key factors for a sustainable Heritage and equitable Urban Development.

Manila Central University, Caloocan, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

This study determined the relationship between the growth mindset and the knowledge and attitude of medical students on entrepreneurship using descriptive, comparative, and correlational methods of research. It employed purposive census sampling technique in selecting 426 medical students using researcher-made questionnaire. Frequency, percentage, weighted mean, mean, standard deviation, chi-square test, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation were used as statistical tools. The results showed that majority of the medical students were between 19 and 36 years old; mostly female (56.3%); and had no business experience (58.5%). Most of their businesses were non-health related (72.3%). They had strong growth mindset: Intelligence (WM 3.69) and Personal Qualities (WM 64). They had adequate knowledge on entrepreneurship: Opportunities and Innovation (WM 3.22), Financial and Economic Literacy (WM 3.00), and Planning (WM 3.11). They had very adequate knowledge in Management (WM 3.34) and a very positive attitude on entrepreneurship: Affective and Behavioral components (WM 3.48 and 3.49). The results also showed association between age and business experience with growth mindset; sex and business experience with knowledge on entrepreneurship; and business experience with attitude on entrepreneurship. Significant relationships were found between growth mindset and knowledge on entrepreneurship; growth mindset and attitude on entrepreneurship; and knowledge and attitude on entrepreneurship. Significant difference were found between growth mindset on entrepreneurship when the respondents were grouped according to age and business experience; and in knowledge on entrepreneurship when grouped according to sex and business experience, and in attitude on entrepreneurship when grouped according to business experience. A medical entrepreneurship program to be incorporated in the Third Year level was proposed based on the results of the study.

Abstract

Fortune telling is a craft of mysticism and spiritualism that predicts about the future. It has been portrayed in different media and a part of the Filipino culture. An abundance of fortune tellers exists within the vicinity of Quiapo church. The Philippines being predominantly Catholic, wherein the Church observes to Christian moral codes and values that condone these acts, the presence of fortune tellers and those who seek them near the church poses a questionable scenario. This paper identified the methods and techniques used by fortune- tellers in their sessions to gain insight on why people are enticed to seek them. The researchers used a qualitative approach by experiencing fortune telling themselves, observing behaviors, collecting data from the encounters, and interviewing a psychologist. The researchers found that the price of the service, and the tools and techniques used by fortune-tellers are associated. Their most employed techniques are Tarot card reading followed by Palm Reading, while numerology and horoscope are supplementary for their reading. This study distinguished the techniques and methods observed, and psychological insight behind looking for their services. Further studies and analysis are needed to show a definitive correlation and causation as to how these methods entice and affect people.

Juanzo, Clara Jean 1 Cusipag, Maria N. 2

De La Salle Araneta University, Philippines [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract

Teachers have diverse views on whether or not Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) is pedagogically appropriate for them and their pupils. The DepEd has partially started to give technical support to language communities to help meet the challenges. Language policy has been implemented for the Filipino learners to help them escalate the substance of the MTB-MLE toward the appreciation of the local culture of the country. Thus, this research study was conducted to find out the teachers’ perception of MTB-MLE as assessed by the Teachers in Sibuyan, Romblon. Through purposive sampling, twenty-four (24) teachers from eight (8) schools located in Sibuyan, Romblon in the municipality of Cajidiocan were asked to participate in the study. A questionnaire was used in obtaining the profile of both the school respondents and the teacher respondents. This yielded information about the grade level taught, teacher-student ratio, number of faculty population, and teachers’ personal information as to age, gender, and years of teaching. The principal data gathering instrument of the study was adapted from Burton (2013) and Kenia (2014) to suit the objectives of the study. The teachers’ perceptions on the effectiveness of MTB-MLE in language learning showed a weighted mean of 3.69 with a descriptive interpretation of strongly agree. It is recommended that multilingual classes be conducted and that instructional materials be authentic such as those used by the people in the locality.

Santiago, Micah Jane A.

De La Salle Araneta University, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

The problem of nonaligned reading level to the actual grade level of students persists in the Philippine educational system. This is perceived as an issue that teachers were not able to address yet, but the teachers’ determination to improve his/her practice in teaching reading can resolve this issue. Hence, to contribute in resolving this issue, the present study is conducted. This study aimed to improve the reading level of Grade 7 students using the Kagan Cooperative Learning (KCL) E-Module. This action research employed the descriptive mixed method approach. Quantitative data were obtained from the pretest and posttest using the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) and survey questionnaire, while qualitative data were gathered from Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics (quantitative) and thematic analysis (qualitative). Five (5) students with Grade 4 reading level, who were purposively selected were the participants of this study. The use of KCL E-Module in Eliademy was implemented and the students’ perception on the intervention was explored. Results revealed that KCL E-Module significantly improved the reading level of the students; yielded a positive impact on the students’ reading level; and improved the practice of teaching reading in general. After the intervention, the students have expressed positive feedbacks on the utilization of e-module, and provision of KCL activities in the classroom. Considerably, the increased reading level of students with this intervention may gradually align their reading level with their grade level, and this would eventually give impact to the students’ active learning. To establish the results of this study, the use of similar intervention may be conducted to a greater number of participants and in a longer time.

Abstract

This paper aims to determine the stakeholders' readiness level in the full implementation of the ODL, determine the teachers' and parents' perceptions on the importance of ODL among the students, and determine teachers' and parents' expectations of the implementation of ODL. As the respondents, the stakeholders were purposively selected and were part of a congregational catholic school located at Laguna. Thirty-four teachers, seventy parents, and one hundred sixty- eight students participated in this study. The parents' and teachers' readiness in ODL was determined using a survey instrument adopted from the DepEd. Students' readiness was determined using an instrument from the learning commons of Pennsylvania University. To determine the teachers' and parents' perceptions regarding the importance of ODL among students, the researcher validated and developed a 10-item instrument. One-way ANOVA was employed to determine significant difference and a thematic analysis was used to determine parents' and teachers' expectations in the full implementation of ODL. It was revealed that most of the respondents have more than 20 Mbps internet speed. The majority of the teachers were technologically and pedagogically ready. Most parents were somewhat confident about the ODL setup and used computers weekly. The students would have high average readiness for online learning based on their self-directedness, learning preferences, study habits, technical skills, and computer equipment capabilities. The EFA of the instrument revealed one principal component. The parents and teachers perceived the importance of ODL among students differently. The themes were about the significance of ODL in the pandemic and its disadvantages.

Abstract

The study aimed to understand the barriers in building a community of online learners in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Three aspects as barriers and four aspects as benefits were assessed and whether significant difference can be found on the respondents’ level of agreement on the benefits of online classes and as to these barriers affect building a community of online learners. Participants were randomly selected from the four (4) departments of the PUP College of Business Administration which has more than 4,000 students every semester and more than 40 regular faculty members. WarpPls 7.0 was used for the instrument’s measure of reliability and validity. For hypotheses testing, Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal-Wallis were used. It was revealed that students and faculty members have different perceptions on the benefits of online classes but barriers proved that respondents look at it at the same level. Likewise, family social classes do not really matter on how respondents look on the benefits of online classes as well as on the barriers which hamper building a community of online learning. Further studies on this matter are recommended as well as the possible implications of the result to the academe and educators were identified.

Abstract

This study attempted to understand the employees’ awareness on the social media policy, guidelines, uses and limitation at the workplace. A systematic review was earlier done to determine that this study will bring impact to the business industry and add to the existing stock of knowledge. Descriptive-Survey method was used to gather the needed data, from a total of 216 respondents from the business industry, which was then analyzed and interpreted using the SPSS software. Findings showed that majority of the employees are extremely aware on the Social Media policy, guidelines, uses and limitation at work. Facebook and YouTube are the most commonly used social media utilized by the respondents. It can be concluded that many organizations have already came up with their different strategies, and/or have already included, during their work orientation on their employees, the policy and guidelines in using Social Media. It is further assumed that employees are aware that their main responsibility in their workplace is to serve for the betterment of the company where they work as this will impact their image as employees and as individuals on how their organization stand and level up with the rest of those organizations in the business industry. With social media as their support in order to work in a much better result, organizations should have just to orient their employees of the pros and cons on the usage of it and its impact not only on their work productivity as well as on their personal aspect and on the image that may be created of the company they work for.

PROPOSED FOUR-DAY CLASS SCHEDULE FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL: ITS EFFECTS AND IMPLICATION

Montellano, Antonio A. Jr.

Manuel A. Roxas Senior High School [email protected]

Abstract

This study on the effectiveness of Proposed Four-Day Class Schedule for Senior High School for Grade 12 senior high school students attempts to show that shortening the school week to four days has become an increasingly common trend over the last decade. Most four-day week schools operate Monday through Thursday, with a few opting for Tuesday through Friday. School days are lengthened to deliver the same amount of instructional time over fewer days, without compromising the quality of learning. This study shows that the overall weighted mean of the teachers and students in terms of their perception on the effectiveness of Proposed Four- Day Class Schedule for Senior High School is 4.725, which is interpreted as most effective. This implies that both the teachers and students perceive the Proposed Four-Day Class Schedule for Senior High School as highly effective. Table 3.2 presents the mean score of the students in the Proposed Four-Day Class Schedule for Senior High School. The grade serves as quantitative indicator in determining if learning was enhanced by the schedule. It shows that in the highest possible grade of 100, students got mean grade of 92. That is equivalent to 92% proficiency level which means learning was enhanced using Proposed Four-Day Class Schedule for Senior High School. Table 4 presents the test for significance of difference between the first semester mean grade of 91 and second semestral mean grade of 92.55 of the respondents is found to be significant with p-value 0.000 at α=0.05 (t-computed of -8.498 against the t-critical value of ±2.02). Thus, null hypothesis is rejected. This implies that there is a significant difference between the academic performances of the students when they were in a five-day class and four- day class schedule. Principals and Assistant Principal may adapt this study to improve the academic performance of Senior High School Students.

President Ramon Magsaysay State University, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

Students learn best when teachers allow them to work with peers and experience learning through real objects and learn process skills. These methods allow students to have better retention and greater involvement in the learning process. This study investigated the effects of technology supported inquiry-based learning intervention to the students’ performance and motivation. It utilized the descriptive-experimental research alongside with the assessment which composed of Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire test, pre-test and post-test which enabled the researchers to gather data relevant to the variable under study accompanied with observing students and their behaviors. Pupils under controlled group received traditional direct teaching method but undergone the same processes, while experimental group undergone intervention and assessment. Statistical treatments were made to provide a reliable interpretation of the data gathered. This study revealed the effectiveness of technology supported inquiry-based learning in teaching science for elementary grades as an appropriate intervention to improve their academic performance and motivation which is accompanied with activities such as engaging more the pupils in Inquiry-Based Learning with technology - related activities. Assessing the pupils’ motivation, performance and difficulties in science is the best basis to give interventions for improved skills with the use of technology supported IBL skills activities. It is suggested for improvement of pupils’ performance and motivation to expose the pupils in different inquiry- based skills activities that may touch their abilities. Teachers should attend trainings in technology supported inquiry-based learning in order to have a knowledge on how to use this approach in teaching science.

Abstract

Leadership and governance are important in the Lasallian community. The study aimed to determine the extent of compliance of the Lasallian Basic Education schools to the Philippine Catholic Schools Standards (PCSS) in relation to leadership and governance. The Convergent Triangulation Mixed Methods Research Design was used to collect and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data within the same study. Data were gathered through survey questionnaire, interview, and collection of possible evidences or documents from the Lasallian basic education schools. The research work involved 264 respondents composed of the principals or directors, faculty and staff. The Philippine Catholic School Standard (PCSS) for Basic Education survey form for leadership and governance domain owned by Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) was used to gather quantitative data. The study revealed that the overall extent of compliance of the Lasallian basic education schools to the Philippine Catholic Schools Standards in relation to leadership and governance is in Level 3 or Fully Meets Benchmark (Integration). Lasallian leaders are hardworking, service oriented, and committed. However, the Lasallian culture and Catholic teachings and principles were not often manifested in their working style, principles and values. The study recommended to enhance the best features of the Lasallian schools to further develop the leadership skills of the school administrators to promote Catholic education and have a unified identification based on Church’s identity.

Medina, Marilyn V.

University of the Philippines at Diliman Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration [email protected]

Abstract Flooding ranked second in the list of disasters affecting people in the Philippines with estimated millions of victims. This prompted the Philippine government to adopt structural and non-structural approaches as flood prevention and risk mitigation strategies. Flood hazard mapping (FHM) is a non-structural approach that enables communities to cope with flooding before, during and after its occurrence. The study assessed the Flood Hazard Mapping undertaken at the 11 barangays of Quezon City contiguously located at the San Juan River Basin in terms of identified flood-prone areas, designated evacuation centers and dissemination of information. The assessment involved measuring accuracy of designated flood-prone areas, impact on the beneficiaries, actual benefits derived and flooding information dissemination. It revealed that the flood predictive tool has a potential of improving awareness of evacuation schemes for the target beneficiaries and successfully met its objective of developing a methodology that could be accessed by the beneficiaries even before the onset of flooding. Study puts forward recommendations on how implementing agencies in the public and private sectors should holistically design flood education and Disaster Preparedness Programs and to execute approaches focusing on the behavior of the beneficiaries so that it becomes a part of their daily life.

Abstract

The rising concern on health related issues brought in by consuming foods exposed to the different level of toxicity known as pesticides that is commonly used in growing food crops to control pests as it is claimed. Particularly high risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals associated with the use of pesticides in agriculture such as organophosphorous (OP) and carbamates(CM) pesticides, which are the most widely and commonly used insecticides worldwide. There are several literature claimed that chronic exposure to these compounds may have adverse effects on health which lead to serious illnesses and even cancerous diseases. An assessment of organophosphate and carbamate in the human blood was planned and initiated by just using the reactive cholinesterase paper to determine the level of traces of these chemicals through the four level of category such as normal, risk, safe and unsafe. There were 2 groups of samples; one from the high risk areas and the other considered as non-risk areas. There were 3 groups of participants being considered such as parents (famer and non-farmer), teachers and students in the high risk areas such as farming and consuming community and only consuming community. The results suggest that contamination of toxic pesticides OP and CM is not only on the level of the chemical handlers and directly contacted with the toxic pesticides but it is already within the food chain since the results of the study showed both the on high risk and non-high risk areas have no significant the difference. The results re-enforced the promotion of organic agriculture not only on the farming community but to all the consuming public through education to raise awareness for sustainable and healthy society.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is a huge challenge to the educational system. Educators had very little time to prepare for remote-teaching. This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by Science teachers and the coping strategies utilized to have a smooth transition from traditional to the new normal learning set-up. It employed case study with qualitative approach. Participants were 17 Science educators from selected institutions in Zambales. The challenges faced by the Science educators were a) technical, b) pedagogical, c) achievement gap, d) quality of education and e) personal challenges. The technical challenges were lack of devices, internet connectivity, mobile devices) limited access, and d) ICT knowledge. On the pedagogical aspect, the challenges were teaching modalities, teaching and learning process, mismatch of materials and learners, and on the aspect of submission of requirements. The achievement gap was linked to poverty and parents’ ability to assist the students. Maintaining the quality of education is also another problem, that the new educational set-up might result to poor quality of graduates and poor performance in education. Personal challenges such as increased working hours, social media stress and financial concerns were identified. In addition the challenges specific to Science teaching were : a) Nature of Science, b) Conduct of laboratory component and c) Skill development in Science. The coping strategies identified were categorized into personal, institutional and partnership. These findings can be translated to institutional programs which can further assist Science educators in the conduct of their synchronous and asynchronous classes. Continuous monitoring on how these educators cope with the situation is also suggested.

Abstract

Red beans are traditionally planted as intercrop to corn or as main crop during dry season where corn production is difficult. The uses of biostimulants are widely studied to ameliorate the negative effects of biotic and abiotic stresses. Seaweeds, among other probable biostimulants, are getting attention due to its effectivity in addressing crop growth and crop stress physiology problems. Three possible fermented biostimulants: seaweed, bamboo shoot and Japanese snail, were compared to a commercial organic liquid fertilizer (10ml/l) based on morphological and photosynthetic responses. The treatments were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design in a greenhouse and photosynthetic parameters were measured using LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis System. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test at p<0.05 was utilized to test for differences between treatment. Fermented seaweed treated red beans registered the greatest average vapor pressure deficit at 4.33 KPa on the first month and is comparable to the highest average VPD of 4.39 KPa registered by plants applied with fermented Japanese snail. This, interestingly, did not result to differences in transpiration rate (µmol H2O m-2 s-1). Such could be attributed to reduced stomatal aperture of red beans applied with fermented seaweed at 406.80 µmol CO2 mol stomatal conductance and 38.59 Pa total conductance on the second month. Despite this, average assimilation rate of red beans was still -2 -1 -2 -1 increased in both the first (15.26 µmol CO2 m s ) and second (16.51 µmol CO2 m s ) when applied with fermented seaweed. This increased assimilation rate of fermented seaweed treated red beans resulted to about 12 cm difference in height at 128.53 cm when compared to those applied with the commercial liquid organic fertilizer. Thus by limiting stomatal conductance, despite the differences in VPD, transpiration rate was not affected while significantly increasing assimilation rate to improve growth of red beans.

Pascual, Valerie U.

Cebu Technological University - Barili Campus [email protected]

Abstract

Mantayupan River in the Municipality of Barili is the major source of water for various purposes. The river was indicated medium quality, but the increasing settlements along its bank may eventually render it unfit for its purpose. Community-based programs have been proven effective since it instill ownership among community members. The study evaluates socio- demographic characteristics, media exposure and information seeking behavior as factors of the households’ standpoint in terms of knowledge, attitude and practice towards water quality management of the Mantayupan River. Villages were grouped into tributaries and mainstream, simple random sampling was then applied for the respondents to comprise 30% of the population at 10% margin of error. For both mainstream and tributary; female, high school graduates, native of Barili, resident of more than 35 years and income below Php 15,780 per month comprised the highest percentage of respondents. However for tributary residents the age group of 35 – 44 comprised the highest percentage, while 25 – 34 years for mainstream comprised the highest. For mainstream respondents, years of residence, household income, television and print media exposure positively influenced their standpoints for a community-based water management system. For tributary respondents, radio media exposure was found to positively influence standpoint in general. Upon comparison, mainstream respondents has significantly better attitude than its tributary counterpart, but practices of not throwing garbage and kitchen waste favors tributary respondents. Considering that radio listenership positively affects standpoints of tributary residents, “Radyo Kahimsug” of Cebu Technology University –Barili Campus will therefore have a significant role to play.

Abstract

Medicinal plants have been a focus of many researches aiming to find safer medicinal alternatives or potential antimicrobial to resolve the problem of antibiotic resistance. In a previous research, the leaf methanolic extract of Caladium humboldtii show potential cytotoxic activity using Allium cepa root tip assay which may be possibly be attributed to the alkaloids present in the methanolic leaf extract. In the present research, the antioxidant activity of the same extract was tested using DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Free radicals and oxidants plays an important role in molecular signaling within the immune system but high amounts of free radicals may also have various biological effects such as biomolecule damage that may cause cancer. Antioxidants may counter the effect of these free radicals which may be beneficial to the body and thus may be potentially explored in pharmaceutics. The computed inhibition of the DPPH of the samples have an average of 104.35% as compared to positive control Gallic acid (100%) and negative control DMSO (0%). This result suggests high antioxidant activity of C. humboldtii leaf methanolic extract and thus, may be worthy to further explore its potential pharmaceutical benefit in wide range of diseases for both humans and animals.

Abstract

Artocarpus ovatus Blanco is an endemic plant species belonging to the family Moraceae. This study evaluated the antioxidant and hypolipidemic activity of the A. ovatus ethanolic leaf extract (AOEE) and its acute oral toxicity. The plant extract and its solvent fractions (test samples) were screened for the presence of secondary metabolites using qualitative tests and thin layer chromatography. Phytochemical screening detected the presence of secondary metabolites such as anthraquinones, flavonoids, phenolics and terpenes in the ethanolic extract and DCM fraction. In the in vitro antioxidant assays, the ethanolic extract demonstrated a significant DPPH (IC50 = 0.078 mg/mL) and nitric oxide (IC50 = 0.098 mg/mL) radical scavenging activities as well as hydrogen peroxide (IC50 = 0.045 mg/mL) scavenging effect. The ethanolic leaf extract of A. ovatus was subjected to acute oral toxicity test and was found to be safe and non-toxic up to 2000 mg/kg. AOEE treated rats at doses of 200, 400 and 600 mg/kg showed time dependent reduction of serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins after 14 days of oral administration (p < 0.05).

University of the Philippines Los Baños [email protected]

Abstract

Diatoms are essential in assessing and monitoring the ecological conditions of an aquatic environment. Procedure on the identification of collected diatom samples from water sources is highly dependent on morpho-taxonomic characterization and molecular genetic techniques. However, these methods are considered tedious and time-consuming. This study aims to integrate the latest technological developments present in machine learning and digital image processing in developing a fast and automated detection, recognition, and identification system for diatoms. OpenCV and TensorFlow were used in developing a digital image identification system for some common diatom species (Nitzschia palea and Cyclotella meneghiniana). Using OpenCV, digital images of diatom species were subjected under a pre-processing step which helps in enhancing important details on the images while also reducing the prominence of noise, distortion, or any unwanted objects in the images. The resulting images were then used to train and build a Convolutional Neural Network (or CNN) classifier developed through the TensorFlow framework that can classify future digital diatom images. The trained neural network outputs percentage results for the diatom species in which it identifies each image. The system correctly identified 31 images from a total of 32 diatom images yielding a final test accuracy of 96.875% with F-score of 96.77%. This study demonstrated the first use of an automated CNN-based digital image identification system for freshwater diatoms in the Philippines. This system presents a fast and easy approach for taxonomists working on diatom culture collections and may also be used in improving the database storage of digital images for diatoms.

Abstract

In the Philippines, native corn is substitutes for rice during rice scarcity which resulted to be the second most important staple crop. Japanese snail is considered an economically important mollusk pest but is known to address plant growth problems when used as fertilizer. The study used seaweed residue, bamboo shoot residue, Japanese snail residue and the combination of each of these treatments with organic pesticide, Makabuhay, which were compared to commercially available seaweed-based fertilizer (10ml/L).These were all done in three replications arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design and photosynthetic parameters were measured using LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis System. For plant height, this improved significantly from 4th to 8th week with the use Japanese snail residue at 156±18.36SD. Bamboo shoot residue also showed effectiveness in improving the plant height on the 8th week at 138.27±20.37SD cm. In leaf length, Japanese snail residue outperformed the commercial basal organic fertilizer on the 4th and 7th week at 75.07±4.55SD cm and 74.4±4.15SD cm, respectively. The used treatments have different effects on the plant, physiologically. Seaweed residue alone attained the highest transpiration rate and the lowest assimilation rate at 1604168655.67±191.66SD s and 13.16±0.69SD s, respectively while combination of Japanese snail and makabuhay was the one that showed promising result in stomatal conductance to CO2 and in the total conductance to CO2 at 478.6350±34.82SD μmol mol¯ and 47.5083±3.55SD Pa. Japanese snail residue has the lowest vapor pressure deficit at leaf temperature at 4.54±0.02SD kPa which showed significantly strong correlation with increase leaf length and plant height. Hence, Japanese snail fertilizer has the potential as used as organic fertilizer in the growth of indigenous corn.

De La Salle Araneta University [email protected]

Abstract

The COVID 19 pandemic has greatly affected everyone in economic, emotional, and physical aspects and an individual's mental well-being. Literature suggests a high prevalence of mental health problems among the frontline workers (such as burnout, insomnia, anxiety, depression, illness anxiety, PTSD, etc.), mediated by various biopsychosocial factors as reported in previous studies. The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology is a government institution mandated for a humane safekeeping and development of the city, district, and municipal jails introduced various policies and interventions such as Jail Lockdown Policy to prevent the spread of the virus. It faced a considerable challenge in combating the COVID 19 pandemic considering congestion in the jail facilities and the limited number of personnel assigned in jails, which triggers work burnout, anxiety, and stress. This research aims to determine the relationship between work demands (jail lockdown) and work stress. Jail Lockdown is a policy wherein the personnel assigned inside the jail premises cannot go outside or go home for a month unless they are authorized to change guards. They have to comply with the requirements of the COVID-19 Regional Task Force. A total of one hundred (100) respondents from the forty-four (44) jails in the National Capital Region of the Jail Bureau participated in this study.. Survey questions were administered through Google documents and sent the link via messenger. The respondents answered it with the utmost confidentiality and sent it back to the researcher's google drive. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the quantitative data. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s r and chi-square test were calculated. Findings revealed that the respondents' average stress level was 3.19, and the perceived level of the lockdown was related to the stress level and harmed work performance. However, no significant relationship between demographic data and the stress level of people who are locked down was noted. However, the female respondents are under tremendous pressure than male respondents to comply with the lockdown policy. Hence, the respondents are under immense work pressure, which has led to the implementing of the jail lockdown (job demand) by the NCR Jail Bureau.

Abstract

This study explored the lived experiences of self-identified trans people in the Philippines. Using the phenomenological approach in studying how people make sense of their gender identity and expressions, the informants were asked to share their understanding of what being trans means to them. They were also asked about their coming out processes and lived experiences as trans men and women. Results showed that all the informants understood that being trans means identifying oneself as the opposite of gender assigned at birth, feeling like a boy (transman) or a girl (transwoman), living as a man (transman) or woman (transwoman) and will eventually undergo physical transition. Their narratives also revealed that their coming out process and experiences was not easy. They experienced misgendering oneself and by other people. In the process of identifying one’s gender identity, they sought help from professionals; they experienced disapproval from other family members; and whirlwind romances. They also went through medical and non-medical physical changes. The transitioning also led them to experience cultural and societal restrictions; and with all these experiences they vow to advocate for LGBT education and awareness. Through the analysis of the informants’ lived experiences, it was established that the process of developing a sense of self not only involves individuals’ self- concepts, but also others’ perceptions of them whether it is aligned or not. In the case of transgender individuals, their gender self-concept may not ‘‘match’’ what others assign to them; thus, others’ confirmation (often referred to as ‘‘passing’’) is a powerful force. For many trans people, the impact of how others perceive them often further their ability to live their new gender.

Abstract

The purpose of the paper was to explore the visual perceptions of teachers who might had been affected by the worst pandemic in our lifetime. The succeeding months since lockdown, we saw our teachers from different levels of education, preparing and adjusting for the changed education system’s modality: from face-to-face to remote/online mode. The paper also examined the themes of the different cognitive reasonings in order to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the wellbeing of our research participants. The paper identified themes that confirm and extend existing theories and models of wellbeing. Using the framework of Kinetic Family Drawing developed by Burns and Kaufman in 1970, an original painting of the 2nd author, was shown to 150 research participants during the zoom meetings/webinars. Instead of requesting the respondents to draw, they examined one painting according to the image reflected on it. The study builds an understanding of the factors that impact the wellbeing of everybody. It is time to prioritize the wellbeing of our front liners, the teachers and have practices that are fit for an environment characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. The findings are important for policy makers especially in the academic world by offering guidance to people effectively during tough times.

THE WEBINAR EXPERIENCES OF SELECTED HIGHER EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS IN THE TIME OF EMERGENCY REMOTE EDUCATION

Corcuera, Lovely C. Alvarez, Abel V. Jr.

Far Eastern University, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

The Philippine private and public schools, colleges, and universities have to adapt in temporarily closing down of face-to-face teaching and learning interactions due to Covid-19. This global health trend resulted to shift from face-to-face interaction to emergency remote education approach. But the question relies to the context that the majority of educators are trained and products of face-to-face teaching and learning environment. And since there is an urgency to adapt to emergency remote education, the need for educators to have in-service training and workshops, which cannot be implemented in physical setting, the idea of shifting to webinars have been seen as a tool for educators’ continuous professional development amidst the pandemic crisis. However, there is a paucity of researches done with regards to educators’ experiences of webinars during this time of uncertainty. Hence, using qualitative case study research, this study investigates the experiences of higher education instructors with regard to in- service training webinars and how these address and help them adapt to the sudden change of education context. There were three themes emerged in the study: continuously engage in learning anytime, anywhere, becoming receptive to alternative, and enhancing digital literacy skills. The paper concludes with the overall findings and its implication to emergency remote education and for future studies.

PERCEPTIONS ON THE USE OF FIRST LANGUAGE IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AMIDST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE CASE OF THE SELECTED LABORATORY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN MARINDUQUE STATE COLLEGE

Madriaga, Vince Justin Roland S. Epa, Arwin Jones M.

Marinduque State College, Philippines [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract

The topic of providing recourse to the first language (L1) in second language acquisition (SLA) of second language (L2) learners HAS recently received a great deal of attention in SLA research. With regard to L1 use in L2 learning, there has been a great deal of claims AND counterclaims. Moreover, a contentious problem is whether to avoid first language (L1) for learners or to make use of it in second language (L2) schools. The efficacy of the monolingual approach to foreign language learning has been questioned by some studies. According to the UNITED Nations, the COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption of education systems in history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion learners in MORE than 190 countries and all continents. Closures of schools and other learning spaces have impacted 94 per cent of the world’s student population, up to 99 per cent in low and lower-middle income countries. With these challenges at hand, it is inevitable that the second language acquisition of the learners will be affected. This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of the English learners with regard the use of the L1 in their second language acquisition amidst the pandemic. To determine this, this study used two research instruments: (1) self-made questionnaire which determined the perceptions of the students with regards the use of L1 functions by their teachers in their virtual L2 classes; and (2) an unstructured interview that produced a deeper description and background regarding their perceptions and experiences. These instruments were used and disseminated to the selected ESL learners from Laboratory High School who are taking up English-related subjects during the first semester of the Academic Year 2020-2021. The data obtained revealer that ESL learners perceive L1 (Filipino) as a helpful tool in assisting their second language acquisition, especially in the time of pandemic. The findings provided important implications for language teachers regarding the facilitative effects of L1 use on L2 learning, especially in EFL contexts.

President Ramon Magsaysay State University [email protected]

Abstract

Undergraduate students have perceived scholarly writing, such as writing a research paper, to have both satisfactions and struggles. This narrative inquiry explored teacher education undergraduate students' positive and negative experiences in scholarly writing in a state institution in Central Luzon, Philippines. A total of 90 prospective teachers were chosen purposively as subjects of this qualitative inquiry. The participants were asked to write a short narrative on their satisfying experiences and their struggles in scholarly writing specifically in their thesis writing. The interview transcripts were analyzed to develop themes and significant responses. The crystallized themes ultimately emerged to define the prospective teachers' joys and pains in their research journey. The inquiry thus claims that there were different essential experiences of the prospective teachers in the research process. A conceptual framework was crystallized to depict the prospective teachers’ satisfaction and struggles in research writing. Implications of the findings to policies and pedagogy in the undergraduate research process in the teacher education institutions (TEIs) and the course enhancement for educational research were established in the study.

BLENDED LEARNING IN HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS: A META-ANALYSIS

Sales, Jorge Victor M.

De La Salle University-Manila DOST-SEI DSEDPHY [email protected]

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed educational institutions to adapt blended learning (BL) in teaching. BL is an approach that is traditionally defined as the use of online learning and teaching with face-to-face classes. Later definition stresses that BL is learning with the use of multiple modes instruction, assessment, and approaches. BL is used in high school physics as a way to improve learner performance. The meta-analysis of studies is gathered from search results in Google Scholar and Scopus, conducted from January, 2014 to August, 2020 employing BL in teaching High School Physics. The systematic search followed the guidelines prescribed by PRISMA (Liberati et al, 2009). From 6,792 search results, 15 studies only qualified in the set parameters of the search comprising of 1,313 learners. A random-effect model is employed due to the high heterogeneity of the qualified studies. The overall effect size of BL in high school physics presented a large positive effect (ES=0.941, p<0.0001) on learner performance. Testing other moderators such as grade level, application, and sampling procedure presented a large positive effect size. There is also not enough evidence that supports difference in effect size among moderators in the meta-analysis. BL presented a favorable effect in teaching-learning experience of the learners providing new opportunities for teachers to explore blended approaches in teaching the discipline. Thus, it is encouraged that other approaches in BL should be employed in Physics teaching and learning.

Robles, Maria Cristina A.

Navotas National High School [email protected]

Abstract

COVID 19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges in the education system of our country. Foremost is the provision of appropriate distance learning delivery modality to wide array of learners. A typology of learners was created to address lockdown learning gap in Europe (Purdy, 2020) In this system, five classification of learners were identified: lost (learners needing reteaching), rusty (those needing refreshing), missed (needs catch-up teaching), shaky (those needing consolidation) and minimal (those needing extension) (Purdy, 2020). This study aims to address the challenges of distance learning specifically on the provision of learner-focused instruction in consideration to specific learning needs and contexts. The leadership of the school adopted and contextualized Purdy's typology of learning needs to develop a system of student profiling. Series of web-based learning action cells were implemented to inform, involve and inspire teachers on the development of this profiling tool. Initial results show that the profiling system has significantly increased teachers' ability to provide appropriate distance learning instruction and intervention to learners. Focus group discussion with learners reveal the importance of understanding household resources, level of family support and learners' existing ability levels in order to provide meaningful instruction that supports attainment of most essential learning competencies.

INTELLECTUAL VIRTUES AND MORAL EDUCATION

Caslib, Bernardo N. Jr.

University of the Philippines Manila [email protected]

Abstract

This study is an attempt to analyze the role of intellectual virtues in moral education. By employing an analytic textual literature review and philosophical research, the study hopes to shed light on the promising intersection between moral education and the notion of intellectual virtues as the latter figured first in Aristotle and resurfaced in contemporary discussions in virtue epistemology. More precisely, it is hoped to pin down what role intellectual virtues play or might play in an effective moral education. In realizing this aim, this study will purposively analyze the notion of virtue, the relationship between moral and intellectual virtues, and the contexts of moral education and intellectual virtues. How can teaching intellectual virtues and training students in the way of intellectual virtues be instructive in forming morally-informed and hopefully, moral students? The findings of this dissertation are envisioned to render their contribution in two ways: one, in the conduct of research in philosophy of education, virtue epistemology, and virtue theory and two, in the actual practice and teaching of morality and ethics within the formal educational structure, most prominently in the Philippine educational system.

DIGITAL INEQUITY SURVEY TO THE TEACHERS OF ST. ALOYSIUS ACADEMY OF DASMARIÑAS: A BASIS FOR DIGITAL TRUST AND INTUITION

Avila, Crisanto E.

University of the Philippines Open University, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

In the field of education, teachers must be technologically abreast especially in time of the COVID-19 Pandemic addressing the demand of the New Normal. To build confidence and capacity in digital teaching-learning, teachers must consider developing their skills in using digital technologies in education and they must also embed the use of digital devices in the teaching-learning practice. In this premise, this research article explains the digital inequality that the teachers are experiencing and its effect on their teaching profession and on establishing among themselves the digital trust and intuition. This study also aimed to answer, “What are the digital equalities do teachers encounter?” The teachers’ decision for digital trust and intuition is affected by the digital inequalities they are experiencing. This study draws insights from a one- page survey questionnaire 20 selected teachers of St. Aloysius Academy of Dasmariñas representing the faculty from the 3 departments such as preschool, grade school and high school. The results of this study indicate that teachers of St. Aloysius Academy of Dasmariñas are digitally inclined as manifested by their subscriptions to various digital devices and services. The impact of the digital technology to them in terms of social, economic, political and cultural affects their decision in digital trust and intuition. Overcoming issues on digital inequality among teachers will lead to digital trust and intuition. The school, from where the teachers are employed must address the digital inequality by ensuring that all teachers have equal chances in accessing the technology based teaching devices and by providing them capacity building trainings which are imperative for the demand of the new normal. Teachers must embrace the digital technology in the community and in their workplace and imbibe the digital trust and intuition in education.

Abstract

This multiple case study aims to identify the status of compliance of selected higher education institutions (HEIs) to a barrier-free school environment for persons with disability (PWD) during academic year 2018–2019. The participants of the study included school heads, director and chairperson of the office of the student affairs, guidance officers, PWD students and alumni, and PWD teachers who were chosen using purposive sampling method. The research locales of the study were the three HEIs in the province. Moreover, data triangulation was utilized in data gathering, which included in-depth interview, focus group discussion, document analysis and prolonged engagement. To analyze the data gathered from the procedures mentioned above, cross-case analysis was conducted. In the entirety of the data collection period, ethical principles of justice, beneficence, and respect for persons were observed. Informed consent forms were distributed to participants, especially PWD students prior to data collection. Moreover, trustworthiness of the data was observed. The following three themes emerged: inadequate PWD-friendly facilities and programs, neglect in the needs of PWDs in school planning, and emerging opportunities for inclusive school environment for PWDs. Concludingly, the HEIs under study have inadequate PWD- friendly facilities and programs. In addition, the needs of the PWDs are often neglected during school planning. In spite of these difficulties, there are emerging opportunities that HEIs may use in order to create an inclusive school environment for PWDs like accreditation. This study, which focus on the fundamental principle of inclusive education and educational needs of PWDs, are significant in the areas of educational management and psychology, guidance and counselling and social studies among others.

NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AND GRIT AS PREDICTORS OF GAME ADDICTION AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS : BASIS FOR INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Bardolasa, Axle Ivan

Polytechnic University of the Philippines

Abstract

Due to the easy accessibility of video games various problems arise and one of this is game addiction, It is defined as the excessive and compulsive use of computer or video games that results in social and/or emotional problems such as the inability to control this excessive use (Lemmens et al, 2009). One of the reason for this problem is Negative emotion; its usually an unpleasant or unhappy emotion that is evoked in individuals to express a negative affect towards an event or person, usually including depression, anxiety, loneliness, and anger (Lazarus, 1991); evidence suggested that this is the core feature of addiction (Kushner. & Anker, 2019) while Grit, a non-cognitive trait is seen as a protective factor against game addiction (Borzikowsky, 2018) association studies with grit and those who abuse substances have lower levels of grit (Griffin et al, 2016). Now this aims to study if Negative emotions and grit are predictors of game addiction. Using regression analysis it is calculated to predict game addiction based on negative behavior. For hostility, a significant regression equation was found (F(1,186)=4.866, p=0.029), with an R2 of 0.025. The predicted game addiction of respondents is equal to 5.605+0.203 (hostility). For fear, a significant regression equation was found (F(1,186)=7.559, p=0.007), with an R2 of 0.017. The predicted game addiction of respondents is equal to 5.510+0.245 (fear). Lastly, for grit, a significant regression equation was found (F(1,186)=4.166, p=0.043), with an R2 of 0.017. The predicted game addiction of respondents is equal to 5.280+0.286 (grit).

EsP TV: A CREATIVE WAY OF DEVELOPING VIDEO LESSONS IN EDUKASYON SA PAGPAPAKATAO 9

Renico, Jerald R.

Navotas National High School [email protected]

Abstract

Most of the teachers in this new normal of education are recording video lesson so that the students could watch and still learn while they are at home. The challenge here is on how they could give their best in teaching the subject without facing the students physically especially in teaching “Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP)”. As we all know catching the students attention is the key to deliver the lessons in “EsP” successfully but the question is, how a teacher can assures that the lesson is delivered on an engaging way using video lesson? The teacher- researchers develops a video lesson material entitled EsP TV. EsP TV consists of episodes for the lesson of EsP 9 aligned in MELCs (Most Essential Learning Competencies). EsP TV differs from other video lessons that uses screen recording in showing the teacher’s powerpoint presentations. Each episodes of EsP TV contains introduction to the topic, definition of terms, examples in real life situtation and a recap and reflection in the end. This formula would sums up the reflective approach in teaching Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao 9. According to LESF of Navotas National High School there are at least 20% of enrollees of incoming grade 9 has no access tointernet that gives the researcher a new problem that can be solved by providing them USB-OTG with episodes of EsP TV uploaded on it. The rest of the 80% could watch it online. The utilization of the material would help the students in understanding the lessons of EsP 9 as they answer the activities in their modules.

Eastern Visayas State University [email protected]

Abstract

The introduction of mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in basic education is a salient feature of the K-12 program in the Philippines. Studies were done relative to MTB-MLE implementation in public schools; however, very few studies were done in private schools. This case study explored the teaching of mother tongue in a private sectarian school in Leyte, Philippines. It focused on the perspectives of the teachers, administrators, and parents in teaching mother tongue, the challenges met by the teachers in teaching MT, and the strategies employed to address challenges. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with teachers and administrators and focus group discussions with parents. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results revealed that participants’ perspectives on teaching mother tongue were both positive and negative. The challenges shared were mostly about the lack of teaching references, comprehension of the children and vocabulary of teachers on mother tongue. In terms of coping with the challenges in teaching mother tongue, the teachers and administrators resorted to multilingual teaching, translated lessons to mother tongue, adopted modules and books used in public schools, and did a strategic creation of lessons based on the need and available resources, and repetition of lessons. From these findings, the researchers recommend that policymakers and educational administrators should make attempts to empower and aid the teachers to develop strategic and creative actions in teaching mother tongue. Private school teachers should be trained on mother tongue education so that teaching the same in private schools will be easier and more effective. Materials for mother tongue instruction must be made readily accessible and kept continuously up-to-date.

Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the level of acceptability of Musa balbisiana (Saba banana) and Ipomea batatas (Sweet potato) in two treatments in making ice cream. It looked into the treatments applied in making ice cream treatment 1 cooked banana and sweet potato and treatment 2 uncooked banana and sweet potato. This study also found out the level of acceptability of Musa balbisiana (Saba banana) and Ipomea batatas (Sweet potato) in making ice cream based on its color, odor, taste, and texture. Data gathered were described and analyzed using Special Analysis of variance. The sensory characteristics of the two treatments were compared with one another using the 9- point Hedonic Scale by the evaluators expert who are member of the academe who were vertically articulated in the field of food technology or discipline related to foods. Results indicated that in treatment 1 (cooked puree) both the taste and texture of the ice cream were liked extremely, however color was rated liked Much. Further, comparison of the sensory characteristics of the two treatments and it revealed that really there is a significant difference between two treatments in making ice cream with regard to their taste, texture and color and over all acceptability of saba banana ice cream with sweet potato. It is then strongly recommended that in preparing ice cream using saba banana and sweet potato using treatment 1 ingredients should be properly cleaned, pared and cooked and should passed several times in a very fine mesh sifter so that saba banana and sweet potato texture will attain its highquality puree making an excellent, delicious ice cream. It is also recommended for further study on the shelf-life of this processed saba banana and sweet potato ice cream as well as its profitability and marketability. The UEPL Campus through its Cafeteria should be utilized in commercialization and in the marketability of the processed Saba Banana and Sweet Potato flavored ice cream.

LANGUAGE BIAS OF THE GRADE SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS BASED ON ETHNICITY

Sampang, Jethro Jake C.

Bataan Peninsula State University [email protected]

Abstract

This study took the constructionists stance scrutinizing the language used by the grade school students in the public schools of the Division of Bataan in terms of ethnicity. Specifically, it aims to analyze the language bias present in the subjects of Social Studies (Araling Panlipunan) and Values Education (Edukasyon sa Pagpapahalaga) used by the first three grade level students in the Division of Bataan with a total of six (6) books. Each textbook was evaluated using the Critical Discourse Analysis as a research methodology to systematically analyze, describe and interpret the language used by the author that may include socio-political constructs leading to language bias. Themes such as underrepresentation of other indigenous or cultural community groups, overgeneralized description of Filipino cultural behavior, beliefs and attitudes, underrepresentation of indigenous minority groups, cultural insensitivity, misconception about indigenous or cultural community groups, discrimination against indigenous people, misconception about Filipinos, focus on low landers and inappropriate cultural terms are used to enhance the analysis of the textbooks. The findings indicate that there are excerpts that have language bias in terms of ethnicity. The researcher included proposed alternatives for the excerpts taken from the textbooks so as not to be biased in terms of ethnicity. The research highlights the importance of looking into how the language use can affect how the readers, specifically the young students, view the various ethnic groups and cultural communities. The researcher would like to recommend that further studies should be done with a focus on the author’s background as the main factor for the research problem since the intention of the author in including such language bias on these textbooks are impossible to distinguish. Also, since the study took only two (2) subjects from three (3) grade levels (Grades I, II and III), it is also recommended that further studies on different subjects and different grade levels must be done in the future to ensure a more cohesive study on language bias based on ethnicity.

PREDOMINANT READING ERRORS OF STRUGGLING READERS: BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL READING PROGRAM

Wijangco- Santos, Elizabeth

Don Honorio Ventura State University [email protected]

Abstract

Reading is the gateway to learning. An individual should learn to read before he can read to learn. The study aims to identify the predominant reasons why students struggle in reading which will become the basis on the development of a remedial reading program. Previous studies is only focused on the evaluation of the reading program but did not identify the reasons why students struggle in reading for them to be able to develop an appropriate reading program to solve the problem of the struggling readers. The study employed exploratory research design. The participants of the study were identified using purposive sampling design using the following criteria: primary student, struggling reader, and willing to participate. The qualitative data were analyzed using Braun and Clark’s thematic analysis and quantitative data were treated using frequency and percentage. The result of the study showed that all the reading errors identified by Gagen are committed by the participants. The predominant reading errors committed by the participants are the following: whole word errors, word guessing errors, tracking errors, lack of code knowledge/ difficulty with complexities, consonants cluster errors, word family errors, difficulty with multi-syllable word, blending difficulties, fast and sloppy, letter confusion and memorization of text. The participants struggle in reading because they lack phonemic awareness. Explicit teaching of phonemic awareness especially segmented phonemes can eliminate reading problems of struggling readers. The crafted remedial reading program which is focused on the development of phonemic awareness maybe implemented to help the struggling readers become fast readers.

Claveria, Bernadeth Cabrera

Navotas National High School [email protected]

Abstract

The Schools Division of Navotas City immediately adhered to the call of the Department of Education to make learning continue amidst the pandemic.To operationalize the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan ( BE-LCP), the Division tapped its teacher-writers to develop and produce self-learning modules (SLMs) in line with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) that will aid students in better understanding their lessons as they study independently from their own homes. To address the psychosocial aspects that learners go through as they live in this uncertain time, the teacher-researcher decided to develop an SLM on instilling gratefulness attitude in promoting self-resiliency among Grade 8 students for the learning area Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) . The teacher-researcher followed the standard material development processes prescribed by the Curriculum Implementation Division (CID), which involved planning, development, validation, production, reproduction and distribution. However, to add a unique feature to the module, the teacher- researcher integrated real-life situations in the SLM to promote motivation for learning, critical and creative thinking, positive behavior, gratefulness and self-resiliency, and enhance student's abilities to succeed in life. As soon as the modules were written and finalized, experts from the field validated the developed materials. The teacher-researcher highly encourages teachers to fully utilize the developed materials and combine them with short reflective exercises. The learners may write a journal or post their thoughts in a space where they can express in a personal way their grateful attitude and thus improve their level of self- resilience.

Dizon, Mabini DG.

University of the Philippines Los Banos [email protected]

The number of international students who pursue graduate studies abroad has dramatically increased in recent years(https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1125649.pdf). In most of these universities, the need to churn out research papers for publication is a requirement. But prior to publishing is the need to learn how to write a research proposal. The study aimed to determine the perceived usefulness of a research proposal writing course and the satisfaction in using the blended learning approach among 37 international graduate students enrolled in the Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Kobe University, Japan. A Google survey form was conducted after the course, using a five-point Likert scale, to allow respondents to express how much they agree or disagree with particular statements (with 5 as Strongly Agree and 1 as Strongly Disagree). Results of the study revealed the following: on the general usefulness of the course as graduate students and researchers, 57% ( N-21) of the respondents gave a score of 5 (Strongly Agree) while 37% (N-13) gave a score of 4 (Agree); on the usefulness of specific activities within the course such as the writing of the different parts of the research proposal and the preparation of the Powerpoint slide presentation, 54% (N-20) of the respondents gave a score of 5 (SA) while 46% (N-17) gave a score of 4 (A); and on whether the student was satisfied with the remote learning modality of the course, 41% (N-15) gave a score of 5 (SA) while 56% (N- 20) gave a score of 4 (Agree). Based on the results, it can be concluded that a technical writing course can be successfully conducted to international students in Japan via remote learning modality and such can be perceived by them as generally useful and satisfactory.

Dela Rosa, John Albert R.

Philippine Normal University, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to develop a model in designing brain-based lesson plan in Philippine Politics and Governance. The study employed developmental research design and utilized variety of approaches and methods from both quantitative and qualitative research. Descriptive statistics such as mean and percentage were used to analyze the quantitative data while the coding method was used in analyzing qualitative data. Comparing and relating the results of the data gathered in this study resulted to the development of the ACT Model which stands for its three learning blocks namely Activation, Connection, and Transfer. Each learning block has a purpose, steps, and target emotion/s to be triggered among students. Also, part of this model is its five preliminary steps that are expected to be accomplished by the teachers in developing brain-based lesson plan. It was concluded that there are specific learning strategies appropriate in achieving the desired learning purposes of Social Studies. Additionally, learning and emotion are intertwined and equally important for students’ to profit from the Social Studies lesson. It was also concluded that in developing brain-based lesson plan in Social Studies, it should start by activating students’ brains by engaging them in enjoyable and interesting learning activities. Followed by concretizing Social Studies abstract concepts by connecting and relating students’ life experiences to the lesson. Lastly, for the students to see its relevance, the Social Studies lesson should end by transferring the students’ learning more realistically into their lives by practicing and internalizing the lesson.

CROSSING THE INTERSECTION: UNVEILING THE MAIDEN MOOR IN FÉLIX NAPAO GALURA’S ING MORA

Tolentino, Joyce Ann M.

Don Honorio Ventura State University [email protected]

Abstract

This paper analyzed the Kapampangan zarzuela titled Ing Mora (The Maiden Moor) written by Pampango poet, novelist, and playwright, Félix Napao Galura. Through close reading of the text, this paper explored the issues encountered by the main character named Mandy due to race (brown colored woman), ethnicity (moor or Muslim maiden from the South) as well as gender and sex (Mandy as a woman) through intersectional feminism. Employing the theory of intersectionality which was first coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw as the main tool to unravel the multi-layers of oppression faced by indigenous women like Mandy, this paper also delved into the different categories of intersectionality—structural, political, and representational—as portrayed in the Kapampangan zarzuela. In the zarzuela, Mandy is not the typical Muslim woman as she is portrayed to be someone who is bold, fearless, and very outspoken. Behind this façade, however, is a brown colored maiden moor from the South who is discriminated and oppressed structurally, politically, and representationally by the people around her, and most especially, by her beloved. Mandy, who has different culture and upbringing, found herself situated at the intersection where discrimination and oppression from the other characters in the zarzuela appeared from all directions.

LEARNING UNDER LOCKDOWN: ELS STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCES, CHALLENGES, AND SUGGESTIONS ON REMOTE LEARNING IN THE RURAL SETTING AMIDST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Labicane, Gianinna Elaine M.

Marinduque State College, Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused not only a massive impact on global health but also drastic transformations in the pedagogical landscape around the world. Many higher education institutions in the Philippines have resorted to remote learning, utilizing various learning platforms and methodologies. Hence, this qualitative study aimed to determine the experiences, challenges encountered, and suggestions of English Language Studies (ELS) students in the Marinduque State College on remote learning through a descriptive survey design. The participants, which were 70 BA-ELS students in the Marinduque State College, were asked to write reflective essays on their experiences, challenges, and suggestions on the implementation of remote learning, which were then thematically analysed. Results show that the majority of the participants gain access to online materials using their smartphones, and learn through Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Google Classroom, video conferencing applications such as Google Meet and Zoom, and social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. The challenges encountered by participants were technical difficulties, financial burdens, lack of further discussion on topics being learned, and the overwhelming bulk of activities. The participants suggested that teachers should be more considerate, particularly on the choice of platforms, formats of learning materials, and the activities being given to the students. From these findings, effective communication between ELS teachers and students may be further established to better cater to the learning needs of students in this time of crisis, as well as the improvement of ELS teaching methodologies through in-service training is recommended.

Abstract

This developmental-descriptive research sought to identify the level of speaking skill and speaking anxiety of the students as the basis for the development for the speaking module for the Junior High School. A total of 10 English instructors and 79 students served as the respondents chosen through purposive-convenience sampling. The study utilized an adapted and modified speaking skill test, speaking anxiety of the students and evaluation to identify the effectiveness of the developed module. The findings revealed that the students have an average oral language wherein they have good pronunciation and intonation skill but fair in fluency and diction. The students have highly comprehensible pronunciation. As for intonation, they are average as they used emphasis, pauses, rising and falling pitch appropriately while they are fair in fluency because they have limited vocabulary and poor sentence structure. For diction, they are considered fair due to poor choice of words. The speaking anxiety of the students are revealed as severe. The correlation coefficient denotes that the speaking anxiety and speaking skill of the students has poor relationship. The developed speaking module is categorized as “useful” by the English instructors. The researcher recommended that the students be guided to practice many meaningful conversational discourse.

UTILIZATION OF “KAMANSI” SEEDS INTO SPREAD

Malinao, Rudolph John L.

Technological University of the Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

“Kamansi” or Breadnut in English, is a native to New Guinea, Indonesia including the Philippines. “Kamansi” is very common among the provinces of the Philippines, particularly in Marinduque as it has been one source of food by some Marinduqueños. The undeveloped “kamansi” fruit is usually cooked as viand combined with coconut milk or “gata”. However, when the “kamansi” fruit becomes ripe, it only turns to waste including its seeds. This calls for the researcher to utilize “kamansi” seeds as main ingredient in making a spread. The mature seeds were dried, cleaned, sliced, roasted, ground and sifted into flour-like texture then was used as ingredient in making the spread. The physical characteristics of the spread with “kamansi” seeds was evaluated in terms of its appearance, texture, color, aroma and taste. The result revealed that the spread with “kamansi” seeds received “acceptable” evaluation from the 20 participants of this research in obtaining the acceptability rating of the finish product.

Abstract

Superstition is a belief in the supernatural- which is to say, a belief in the existence of forces or entities that do not conform to the laws of nature or a scientific understanding of the universe. Modern medicine and medication developed very quickly and made major contributions to disease control in the past century. Interestingly, despite the rapid growth in techniques and knowledge in modern medicine, the end of the last century also appeared dramatically increased interest in traditional medicine due to superstitious beliefs derived from different cultures. This study aimed to assess the influence of superstitious beliefs to the medical practices in the selected barangays in Buenavista, Marinduque. The researcher employed the descriptive method. Sixty (60) residents from selected barangays in Buenavista, Marinduque were purposively chosen as respondents. Moreover, a validated self-made questionnaire was used as instrument to elicit responses from the respondents. Percentage and rank were utilized as statistical tools. The following findings are revealed in this study: a.) most of the respondent are 56 years old and above; b.) the respondents are high school graduates; c.) common health problems consulted to traditional healers are body rashes, nausea, and body wounds (sensitive part and skin wound) and reason of consultation to traditional healers was considered as Nanununo/Namamasam-an; d.) superstitious beliefs related to health that are commonly believed by the respondents is “ It is bad to sweep the floor at six o’clock in the evening for it means driving away good fortune and graces and might get hurt other creature”; and e.) effects of superstitious beliefs in the medication in terms of cure effectivity “served as contributor in giving the right and effective aid” was valued. Moreover, when it comes to mortality of patients, the number of patients who died are 11.6%, and diabetes and brain cancer are construed as main causes of death.

APPEAL TO PRACTICALITY IN TEACHING LOGIC

De Guzman, Symel Noelin S.

University of the Philippines [email protected]

Abstract

In the advent of online classes due to Covid-19 pandemic, Filipino youth appears to have immense difficulty in finding and assessing real- life applications of logical reasoning. This is mainly aggravated by the difficulties surrounding our current medium of instruction, leaving the students to deal with the source material largely on their own. This might be attributed to several factors, such as the quasi-metaphysical status of logic, leading to an abstraction and ultimately detachment of the course from worldly affairs; intimidation by the course which roughly resembles mathematics in terms of difficulty and rigor; and lack of proper immersion, among others. Topics under logic can indeed be purely theoretical; however, the “rise and fall” of student mastery on this course is hugely dependent on the way the teachers handle and string it in a coherent narrative. This study is a result of several years of observing logic students and their responsiveness to pedagogical techniques, compounded with a semester of teaching online Logic class. The author grounded much of the axiomatic rules in logic by using day-to-day examples and subscribing to “hugot” and popular Gen Z humor. Infusing current events to the discussion also proves to be purposeful in keeping students engaged, up-to-date, and critical of events happening, which would later on result to them having the initiative to pinpoint the “logicality” of certain arguments. In the end, the students are able to participate in the discussion and operate on the problems as they would in a classroom setting.

LIVED EXPERIENCE OF GRADE FIVE PUPILS WITH FRUSTRATION READING LEVEL IN THE PEER TUTORING INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Manrique, Rialyn A. Go, Ronald S.

School of Graduate Studies / College of Arts and Sciences [email protected]

Abstract

Reading is a skill that should be mastered by pupils. With reading, pupils can gain much information. However, recent studies showthat the reading comprehension of a number of pupils is still low, unsatisfactory, and far from expectations. To address this problem, some teachers have introduced intervention programs such as peer tutoring in their reading classes. Through peer tutoring, pupils gain better understanding of the reading materials by learning from each other. This study exploredthe lived experience of Grade Five pupils with frustration reading level in the peer tutoring intervention program through the use of the descriptive phenomenological research design. Ten (10) selections were chosen through purposive sampling. The selections’ views weregathered through in-depth interviews. Using Colaizzi’s seven steps of phenomenological analysis, the field texts were read and re-read. Significant statements reflective of the participants’ lived experience were identified, extracted, and categorized. The themes that emerged during the data analysis were identified using the acronym P-E-E-R - Personal Feeling of Accomplishment, Enjoyable Academic Experience, Enhancement of Reading Comprehension, and Relaxing Learning Atmosphere.Pedagogical implications were drawn from the findings of the study.

BEHIND THE SCENES: A POSTCOLONIAL READING OF EXCLUSION OF PHILIPPINE LITERATURE (PANITIKAN) IN COLLEGE CURRICULUM IN THE PHILIPPINES

Necesito, Richard Cuizon, Philip

St. Dominic College of Asia [email protected]

Abstract

Philippines has experienced a series of colonization from Spain, United States of America, Japan, etc. Though it became independent since 1898, it continues to grapple with authentic identity at present. The removal of Philippine Literature in college curriculum has led to a protest from a group of Filipino who advocates Philippine Literature. The group warned the Commission on Higher Education that it could lead to “dire consequences.” On one hand, the Chairman of Commission on higher Education (CHED), Popoy De Vera responded, "Nationalism is not created only by language, that has to be understood... it's not a one to one correspondence." What can be the challenges and opportunities of this situation? This study explored the postcolonial reading of exclusion of Philippine Literature in college curriculum. It sought the movement of colonialism in Educational system in college from the past up to the present. Using descriptive and qualitative research, it can be argued that college curriculum preferred foreign education than deepening one’s culture and identity. Furthermore, this paper decolonized a nationalist reading through the ideas of Edward Said on “contrapuntal.” Ultimately, the findings reasoned out to include the Philippine Literature (Panitikan) in college curriculum not as “remnant” but as part of “authentic national identity.”

MUTED VOICE: SENSE MAKING OF WOMEN ON SELF IDENTITY, RELATION TO OTHERS AND SOCIAL WORLD

Dela Rosa, Adona T.

Bataan Peninsula State University [email protected]

Abstract

Small groups for women as a research phenomenon raise the importance of interactions and how women make sense and construct their self-identity, relation to others, and social world. The study quest for the muted voice in the small group Christian ministry. It examined how women orient the self to the social world, how they form realities, about self and others, and how they signify cooperative interactions. The theoretical approach of this study in symbolic interactionism followed its emphasis on the context of the study on women in a small group. To hear and understand the voices in a small group is to understand the processes that women use to interpret situations and experiences and how the act of learning is constructed among other group members in their social community. The variable composition of the research framework consists of each individual, their interaction experiences, the meanings produced, and the small group as their social world. How the variables are operationalized provides meaning structure. From the stories of women, the act of learning is contextualized to individual experience. The narratives are categorized into sub-themes and themes were identified. Findings drawn from the meaning structure surfaced the women's concepts of developing faith, establishing spirituality, being mentored by others, developing the self, and relating to others. These acts of learning are derived from narratives that imply how women cope up with their life struggles. The small group is a platform in constructing their world view to make sense of their self-identity, relation to others, and their social world. Future research on the small group for women is a worthy study to help the women in our society.

INTEGRATIVE AND INSTRUMENTAL MOTIVATION IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING OF FIRST YEAR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS ON THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2018-2019.

Lamac, Kate R.

Marinduque State College [email protected]

Abstract

Motivation plays an essential factor in language learning acquisition because it acts as the students’ beacon to achieve their goals, desires, dreams, and aspirations. Hence, without enough motivation, foreign language acquisition will be very difficult to students because it is the factor that drives the students’ interest in achieving learning and outcomes. This study focuses on the integrative and instrumental motivation levels of all the first year students of School of Liberal Arts in Marinduque State College enrolled in school year 2018- 2019.Identifying their motivation level in English language learning will greatly help all lecturers and administrators to create a project or activities that will enhance their English proficiency levels that they will find worth doing. All respondents in this study received a revised questionnaire with 24 questions that were randomly arranged; 12 for integrative motivation and 12 for instrumental motivation. The questionnaire employed the five-point Likert scale. The tabulated data were analyzed according to their means and standard deviations. The mean of each question item was used in order to interpret its motivational level using the interpretation of mean scores. Overall, the respondents got an average interpretation on both motivation factors: integrative and instrumental. In other words, majority of the respondents are interested in learning English language instrumentally and integratively, however, if they don’t acknowledge that interest and work on how to develop their English skills, it will take longer time for them to be proficient in English. Thus, this study concludes that majority of School of Liberal Arts freshmen are neither integratively nor instrumentally motivated students.

PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND INSTRUCTIONAL SKILLS OF FACULTY MEMBERS IN A SELECTED MEDICAL COLLEGE

Sta Cruz, Evelyn G.

MCU College [email protected]

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and Instructional Skills of faculty members in a selected medical college. Researcher made questionnaire was distributed to both faculty and students regarding Pedagogical Content Knowledge(PCK) and Instructional skills. The respondents were 59 faculty members and 314 medical students. This study showed that academic rank was significantly related with the faculty members’ PCK. On the other hand, no significant relationship was seen on sex, years of teaching experience, year level taught, and highest educational attainment. With regard to the respondents’ instructional skills, sex, years of teaching experience, year level taught, rank, and highest educational attainment had no significant relationship. Similarly, there was no significant difference noted on the faculty members’ instructional skills when grouped according to profile. It was likewise noted that as the faculty members’ PCK increased so did their instructional skills. Furthermore, significant difference was observed between the faculty members’ assessment of their PCK and the students’ assessment of the respondents’ PCK in the subcomponent of subject matter knowledge and knowledge of pedagogy. Similarly, significant difference was noted on the respondents’ assessment of their instructional skills and the students’ assessment of the respondents’ use of critical thinking skills as instructional skills in the subcomponents of analysis, explanation, evaluation, and induction. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that there is a need on the part of the faculty members of the College of Medicine to do their best to meet the expectations of the students in as much as their performance is concerned. Thus, there is a need for a program that will develop the pedagogical content knowledge of faculty members in the College of Medicine.

INTERPLAY BETWEEN MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AND SCIENTIFIC LITERACY VIA DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION: A CLASSROOM PRACTICE EXPERIMENTATION

Gravidez, Maurice B.

De La Salle Araneta University [email protected]

Abstract

This quasi- experimental research is an exploration of the interplay between multiple intelligences and scientific literacy via Differentiated Instruction. This was accomplished by documenting the classroom practice of selected Grade 9 students in Science from De La Salle University Araneta during the Second Quarter of the Academic Year 2015-2016.The researcher took into account the classroom practice of three (3) Grade 9 classes (120 students) which were under his helm for the academic term 2015- 2016. The Genetic topics covered were (a) Cell Growth and (b) Mendelian Genetics which complies with the K-12 Curriculum requirements in the Philippines. He first identified the multiple intelligences of his students through administering an MI Checklist as patterned after the Multiple Intelligences Theory of Howard Gardner, (1985) and consequently executed the teaching method called Differentiated Instruction as inspired by the concept of Differentiated Learning by Carol Ann Tomlinson, (2002). The diverse learning activities mapped during the experimentation were ensured to be “custom-fit” with the identified learning styles/ interests of students.Two pre-tests were administered the (a) MI Checklist and the (b) 30-item teacher- made test. The MI Checklist enabled the researcher to stratify the three classes into four (4) groups according to their learning styles or learning interests while the 30- item teacher-made test was used as a foreground in determining if there will be a significant difference and gain score after the experimentation. After the period of implementation and administration of the 30- item teacher- made posttest, it was revealed via the statistical test ANOVA (two way) that there is no significant difference between and among the posttest performances of the groups, while the computed gain score ratio revealed that the strategies administered to the four groups are effective.

COMPARATIVE STUDY ON GROWTH AND BIOLOGICAL YIELD PERFORMANCE OF OYSTER MUSHROOM (Pleurotus ostreatus) ON DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES

Gravidez, Maurice B. Napoles, Jessica Caceres, Zhesarlyn

The National Teachers College [email protected]

Abstract

The research aims to determine the comparison of Growth and Biological Yield Performance of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) on Different Substrates. Using different combinations and mixtures of the substrates, it was found out which among the prepared treatments was the most effective substrate and potential source of nutrients in growing mushrooms. The researchers sought the following factors that show the most significant effect in the growth of the mushrooms in terms of: (1) number of flushes, (2) stalk length, (3) weight, (4) pileus diameter (5) pileus thickness, and (6) biological yield. The significance of the study focused on the local farmers, local business, and for the benefit of future research. Study according to Mondal, (2010), aimed to evaluate the better performance of oyster mushroom using different substrates, the study revealed that highest mycelium running rate was obtained by the banana leaves and rice straw (1:1). In terms of completion of mycelium running time was lowest in banana leaves and rice straw (1:3) and (3:1). In terms of biological yield, was obtained by the rice straw. From these findings, the use of substrates has varied effects in terms of the different phases of mushroom cultivation. One substrate may be effective from the initial stages of cultivation but not consistent in producing a better quality of mushroom, and vice versa. This indicates a further study on the search of different waste materials that can be used as substrate for cultivation of different types of mushrooms.

Abstract

This paper presents a Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) study on a micro- scale cashew kernels (shelled cashews) produced in Wonogiri, a major cashew kernels producing area in Indonesia. A combination of the three LCSA techniques, namely Environmental- and Social-Life Cycle Assessment (E-LCA and S-LCA), and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) was used to analyze environmental, social, and economic impacts on the industrial activity. The system investigated was divided into four subsystems: raw material acquisition, kernels production, packaging, and distribution. This study showed that the kernels had environmental impacts on the categories of global warming, eutrophication, and acidification, respectively, 114,871.9 g CO2 eq., 28.11 g PO4 eq., and 8.8 g SO2 eq. for about 100 kg of the kernels. The study also showed that occupational health and safety aspect still require improvement to reduce the social impact. Meanwhile, we also observed that the total Life Cycle Cost for 100 kg cashew kernels was IDR 8,8 million.

Universidade de Brasília/FAV, Brazil [email protected]

Abstract

Through pyrolysis, it is possible to transform sewage sludge (SS) into a product called biochar, which can be used safely in agriculture. Among the advantages of using SS biochar are the nutrients supplying and carbon sequestration in the soil. However, there is still a lack of information on the supply of nutrients provided by its application. The objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritional status of corn plants fertilized with SS biochar by the DRIS (Diagnosis Recommendation Integrated System) method. A field experiment was conducted at Fazenda Água Limpa, Brasília, DF, Brazil, in a typical oxysoil. It consisted of 6 treatments: 1) control (without fertilization); 2) mineral fertilization (NPK); 3) Biochar produced at 300°C (BC300); 4) BC300 associated with mineral fertilization (BC300 + NPK); 5) Biochar produced at 500° C (BC500); 6) BC500 associated with mineral fertilization (BC500 + NPK). 15 mg ha⁻¹ of SS biochar were applied in treatments that received biochar and 714 kg ha-1 of formulation 4-14-8 in treatments with mineral fertilization. In the present study, samples of corn leaves cultivated for three consecutive harvests were used. The SS Biochar had the potassium as the most limiting nutrient; DRIS was an effective analysis method according to the managements applied; in order to enhance the nutritional quality of sewage sludge Biochar, supplementation with K is recommended.

CHARACTERIZATION OF INTERGENERIC CROSS-COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN APPLE AND PEAR

Sekiguchi, Ryo Morimoto, Takuya Itai, Akihiro

Kyoto Prefectural University, Japan [email protected]

Abstract

Interspecific and intergeneric hybridization have been used to introduce novel traits from a closely related species, but these crossing are often hindered because of incompatibility reactions. Although these reproductive barriers have been observed in many plant species, the underlying mechanisms remain to be comprehensively elucidated. In the case of apple (Malus × domestica) and pear (Pyrus spp.) in Rosaceae, we previously observed that P. pyrifolia (Japanese pear) pollen is compatible with apple pistils, whereas P. communis (European pear) pollen is not. This result implied that there is a distinct cross-(in)compatibility reaction occurring in Pyrus species. In this study, we investigated various cultivars of apple and pear to assess the commonality of this reaction. Apple cultivars were pollinated with pollen of Japanese pear, European pear and pear interspecific hybrid (Japanese pear × European pear). Generally, Japanese pear was compatible with apple, but fruit setting rate differed among apple cultivars. Pollination with pear interspecific hybrid showed higher fruit setting. Subsequently, seeds obtained from the intergeneric crossing were subjected to in vitro culture. Germination rate varied among crossing combination. Seeds obtained from apple × pear interspecific hybrid showed higher germination rate compared with that from apple × Japanese pear. Our results indicate that cross-compatibility between apple and pear appears to be affected not only by Pyrus species but also by apple cultivars. Pear interspecific hybrid may be a promising material to develop apple-pear intergeneric hybrid because of higher fruit setting and germination rate when pollinated with apple.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE’S GOTHIC STORIES AND NICK JOAQUIN’S REPORTAGE ON CRIME: GROUND FOR GENRE-CROSSING

Desales, Ma. Asuncion G.

University of Eastern Philippines Laoang Campus [email protected]

Abstract

Critical analysis helps a reader to delve more into the underlying meaning of a literary work for better understanding and appreciation. This study tried to find out if the structural analysis on characters, point of views and themes of some select literary pieces of Poe and Joaquin would be an effective strategy in winning back the students’ interest in reading literary pieces, because students’ love for literature is visibly waning due to modern media platforms. This also endeavoured to attest if the analysis on Poe’s gothic stories and Joaquin’s crime stories would be a better scheme for genre-crossing. In this thesis, biographical sketches of the two authors were included as background for better comprehension. Findings revealed that Poe and Joaquin showed different expertise in staging the elements of the short story namely; characters, point of views and themes. Nonetheless, their presentations appeared similar since their gothic stories centered on killings and unresolved problems. Further, their write-ups amplified the understanding and appreciation of the readers since the stories offered ideas on how to recognize unfathomable and puzzling events nowadays. These scenario catered students to realize that everyone has his own battle in life to triumph. This also inspired every student to tap his/her concealed literary talent, since by doing the analysis, students did the genre-crossing which further developed their talents. This paper recommends that more analyses on various literary artworks may be done, coupled with innovative teaching styles to enhance the reader’s critical thinking skill and their love for literature.

Abstract

Chestnuts have been cultivated in Japan for about 16000 years and are still a major crop that is used for sweets. However, in recent years, quality deterioration such as small chestnut grains and outbreaks of pests has become a major problem in Kyoto. We used chestnut orchard soil samples from three different cultivation systems (conventional, organic, and wild) in four areas (Wachi, Ayabe, Fukuchiyama, and Sasayama) of Tamba region located in Kyoto and Hyogo prefectures in Japan. In these samples, the activity of 6 enzymes (Phosphatase, Dehydrogenase, β-glucosidase, Arylsulphatase, Urease, and Protease) involved in the metabolic activity of soil microorganisms and the nutrient circulation in soil was investigated. The effect of each cultivation method on the soil and the soil quality of each soil were evaluated and compared. The enzyme activity data of each soil sample, the chemical analysis data, and the fungal community were statistically analyzed. As a result, except for the phosphatase activity of Sasayama, the enzyme of the organic cultivation sample showed the same or higher activity as the enzyme of the conventional cultivation sample. The phosphatase activity and the relative abundance of fungi showed a positive correlation and a negative correlation depending on the class. There was a positive correlation between β-glucosidase activity and filamentous fungal diversity.

Abstract

Conceptualizing power as having the discretion and the means to asymmetrically enforce one’s will over entities (Sturm & Antonakis, 2015), this study explored the perceived power of freshmen in Ilocos according to their generational statuses. First-generation college students (FGS), those whose both parents have not received college education, were observed from different foreign studies to be less successful academically (e.g., Pascarella et al., 2004). The research aimed to understand how the FGS perceive their power to effect academic completion in comparison with continuing-generation college students (CGS). Of the 390 participants, 157 were found to be FGS, 115 CGS with one parent having attended college (CGS-1), and 118 CGS with both parents having attended college (CGS-2. Anderson et al.’s Sense of Power Scale (2012) was included in the survey instrument to determine their sense of power. Reliability analysis showed differences in the participants’ perception of power, depending on context. Generational status was observed to be directly related with the participants’ sense of power, with FGS having significantly higher sense of power than their counterparts in all aspects (general, with teacher, with peers). Possible relations of the results with Ilocano culture and implications in academic success were then discussed given the results.

Abstract

The global achievement results of the 2018 examination given to students of 79 nations showed that the Philippines ranked lowest in Reading (Reysio-Cruz, 2019). Hence, this study aimed to improve the word reading and comprehension skills of Grade 4 struggling readers of Diliman Elementary School. Two interventions called CLASP and LIFT were used. CLASP is an acronym for “ Community Learning Assisted by Student Peers,” while LIFT is an acronym for “Learning Improvement Through Further Tutoring .” The significant change in the reading performance of students was measured by a posttest after the implementation of the interventions The researchers employed the quantitative research design in analyzing the problem. The Phil – IRI materials were used as tools in assessing the performance of the respondents before the data were analyzed. From the pretest and posttest administered to the learners, the findings of the study revealed that the reading comprehension skills improved for both participants of CLASP and LIFT. The results of the study provided insights to elementary teachers, most especially those in the primary level, on how to handle students with reading difficulties. It has been recommended that other researchers replicate this study with a bigger sampling in order to validate the findings.

SCAFFOLDING STILL: TRADITIONAL VS. CLASSROOM TEACHING VIA THE EDMODO LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abao, Ma. Elsa Rose A.

De la Salle Araneta University [email protected]

Abstract

The study was conducted with nineteen (19) respondents, ten of whom were unable to attend classes and take the quiz on data analysis in English research as they were on Immersion. Thus, the need to go into classroom teaching other than the traditional (face-to-face) was conceived of. As per students’ request, five (5) instructional videos on the topics were recorded with links provided on Edmodo. These were designed to simulate classroom teaching had. The same quiz was encoded, uploaded and taken after a certain time lapse with only a 60-minute accessibility period allowed, after which the system automatically locked the quiz. Student performance for both types of classroom teaching showed no significant differences with t-test used (p-v = .962 > .05). Only biological sex was significant a factor in determining student performance (p-v = .026* < .05) regardless of classroom teaching type adopted with female respondents getting higher than the males (though both groups showed only satisfactory performance on mastery of analysis concepts). Having thus made use of Edmodo, limitations in design were noted, particularly as the quiz was designed to accept only precise answers, leaving no room for variability (accepted not considered the same as accept, Cronbach not counted correct in lieu of the answer Cronbach’s), thus the need for the teacher once again to control the design of quizzes and tests in such a way that only what is precisely needed would be given for answers. The attempt to quantify albeit with only 19 respondents was done to gauge if somehow there’d be a significant difference between traditional classroom teaching and via Edmodo.

Abstract

Multiple choice tests are very handy when assessing students’ conceptual learning involving various competencies. But when students get low scores in an ordinary multiple-choice test, it is not easy to identify in which items did they do the guessing, and which concepts did they understood differently. This study aims to assess students’ conceptual understanding of lessons in plate tectonics using a teacher-made three-tiered multiple-choice test. The study was conducted during the first semester of the school year 2019-2020. A three-tier multiple choice test with items covering the different competencies during the First Quarter of Grade 10 science was administered to one hundred one (101) grade ten students. Identifying students’ conceptual understanding using the said three-tiered test showed that 20.40 % have scientific knowledge about the concept presented to them , 6.24 %of the students grasped the concepts but were uncertain with their answers, 33.46% of the students have misconceptions, while 19.31% did not understand the concept or lack understanding and 21.12 % were just guessing. The three-tiered test was able to diagnose students’ misconceptions on the topic plate tectonics. Moreover, the study reveals that a large percentage of the participants lack scientific knowledge about the topic. The three-tiered test developed can be utilized during formative assessments in order to determine least mastered skills and specific concepts that need to be clarified. When misconceptions are properly identified, more appropriate interventions could be given in order to improve students’ conceptual understanding of the topic.

PREVALENCE AND CORRELATES OF ANXIETY AMONG FILIPINO SECONDARY AND TERTIARY STUDENTS A YEAR INTO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

The present study examined the psychometric properties of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Short Form and explored the prevalence and correlates of anxiety among secondary and tertiary Filipino students. Findings provided strong support for the validity and reliability of the STAI-SF. Further analyses indicated no significant differences in mean scores in terms of community type. However, female students were found to have higher anxiety levels compared to their male counterparts. Cutoff scores for both subscales were also determined, which suggested prevalence rates of potential clinical-level anxiety ranging from 34.6% to 52.1% in the target population. Lastly, bivariate analyses demonstrated significant associations between STAI-SF, depression, general mental health, and social support, while no significant associations were observed between state and trait anxiety and academic achievement.
