2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS INNOVATION THROUGH RESEARCH TOWARDS SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS Book of Abstracts 1 i 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS MESSAGE Br. Raymundo B. Suplido FSC De La Salle University President Esteemed faculty and fellow administrators, students, and all Lasallians present, welcome to the 2nd Senior High School Research Congress and a pleasant day to all of you. De La Salle University has endeavored to become a leading, learner-centered and research university as a resource for our Church and nation. This commitment has become ever more relevant amid the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as we strive to keep up with the growing technological innovations in various fields. As we speak, governments with the participation of private enterprises are looking to re-establish the exploration and exploitation of the Moon, even considering it a launching point to the colonization of Mars. While these technologies make our day-to-day living more convenient and comfortable, they also raise other issues and questions. The Internet-of-Things and the ubiquitous presence of sensors around us are making possible smart houses, cars and cities. But they also pose a threat to our personal privacy and freedom. Such developments, considered science fiction not too long ago, are now actually transforming our reality. Some implications of these inventions (e.g. gene manipulation or cloning) also pose a test to our values and moral principles. In the context of all these global changes, DLSU strives to engage young people in the challenging world of research. Dear young researchers: we encourage you, as early as now, to contribute to knowledge generation. The DLSU Senior High School Research Congress is your initial platform to present the fruits of your studies and investigations, and contribute to our University’s research culture. This year you center your Research Congress on the theme, "Innovation through Research towards Social Transformation". It is very much in keeping with our ideals and values as an institution. Our Founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle, introduced many innovations in education, transforming lives and the French society in the 18th century. Today, 21st century Lasallian education is transforming lives across the globe. May your spirit of creativity and innovation also bring about genuine change and spiritual upliftment of society. May this event be an opportunity to share knowledge, deepen our humanitarian commitments, celebrate creativity, and harness your passion and ingenuity. I hope your participation in this Congress will increase your “ANIMO” - to explore, create, and pioneer ideas, methodologies, and technologies guided by our Lasallian values and help redefine the way we move, build, and live. ANIMO LA SALLE! ii 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS iii 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS THE 2ND DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL (DLSU SHS) RESEARCH CONGRESS The DLSU SHS Research Congress is an annual gathering of senior high school students as they bring together research-based ideas, concepts, products, and art performances & exhibitions, from their own capstone projects. It is a vision conceived by DLSU SHS’ commitment to making a dent in society by involving the students in knowledge creation. In line with the University’s vision-mission of bridging faith and scholarship, the Congress highlights the essential role of nurturing a culture of re- search through the production and dissemination of innovative knowledge for human development and social transformation. With the theme, “Convergence of Research Diversity,” the 1st DLSU SHS Research Congress fea- tured 58 paper and poster presentations, 15 business concepts, and five creative exhibits and perfor- mances out of more than three hundred submitted proposals. Despite the rigorous and highly selec- tive review of papers, the 1st DLSU SHS Research Congress was able to gather around 2 000 student researchers, teachers, and school administrators from 36 schools across the country to participate in the recognition and convergence of research diversity. Aside from research presentations, the event also included a plenary talk on the importance of research for Senior High School, strand-specific par- allel talks, and a teachers’ training session. The rise of Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, and Artificial Intelligence ushered in an era that revolutionized how men think and respond to their environment. Technological advancements have unveiled yet another stage in human history where conventional work is given to machines, and men participate in the information market. This year’s theme, “Innovation through Research towards So- cial Transformation,” is anchored on the behest of the current Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through this Congress, young researchers, scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs, converge ideas from different fields of discipline in responding to various issues, challenges, and changes that pervade the ethos, one of the most important factors in the era of digital technology and information. iv 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS THE CONGRESS EVENTS v 2nd DLSU SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH CONGRESS The Congress Events A.

Consequently, this kind of teaching method lacks the learning within the context, leading to unmotivated students which discourages the growth of 21st century skills such as critical thinking and cultural awareness. Affective learning focuses on the emotional part of learning where learners exhibit an emotional response towards a topic that allows students to integrate the values learned during the learning experience. On the other hand, virtual reality (VR) is a known tool to motivate and be used for teaching or learning process. This research aims to use Virtual Reality (VR) 360, with the use of colors to aid students to be motivated and feel the environment or surroundings, as a tool to recreate the culture in the lifestyle of the Filipinos in Intramuros during the 19th Century. This study will examine the effects of Virtual Reality (VR) 360 in teaching Philippine culture during the 19th century to Grade 7 students. Through Krathwohl’s Affective Learning Taxonomy, the research aims to tackle how the students would respond once exposed to the simulated environment considering that it is of a different time. This would be achieved through the use of self-report questionnaires and interviews to gather data regarding the behavior and motivation of students in learning the culture of the historical scene with the intervention of VR 360 as learning material. In conclusion, the VR was able to motivate the students although some improvements were mentioned such as detail explanation, realistic art style, and dizziness while using VR.
