Conference Theme: "From Institutional and Action Research to Publications of Best Practices"

Message Dear Beloved Researchers, Teachers, and Educators Welcome to the 3rd ACIAR conference 2019, held in in Mallberry Suites Business Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines today. As it is stated here, we have the theme “From Institutional and Action Research to Publications of Best Practices.” This theme reminds us of being researchers and teachers, as well as educators around the world. It has some implications for our profession we are now engaged in. First of all, let me express my gratitude and appreciation to you all, the participants of this ACIAR (Asian Conference on Institutional and Action Research) 2019. By attending this academic event, we are responsible for our profession of being researchers, teachers, and educators. We have some objectives in this conference. Secondly, our objectives as they are stipulated are as follows: 1) to share best practices in using research solutions to school problems that result to best practice publications; (2) disseminate results of thesis/dissertation in tertiary and graduate education levels; and (3) to draw new perspectives in solving educational and organizational problems and issues. Being researchers, teachers, and educators, we have to always keep ourselves updated with the present and future development of science and technology. The science and technology related to our jobs and profession. For that reason, it is imperative that we should share our best practices concerning the research problems and solutions. It is not enough to share only, and therefore we have to disseminate our products or research to other researchers, teachers, and educators around the world. We have our thesis or dissertation that we should communicate to other researchers, teachers, and educators as well. This is also a good opportunity for us to have disseminated our ideas related to the state-of-the art methodology of research. And finally, we also have to draw new perspectives derived from the various ideas depicted in our products od research. This if the final objective that is so much beneficial that we can always keep ourselves updated with both the present and future development of science and technology related to our profession. Ladies and gentlemen, let me express again my thanks to Dr. Chan Roath, Honorary President and Mr. Russel B. Obsioma, our conference manager. I also would like thank you all for your presence and good luck! Best of luck,

3rd Asian Conference on Institutional and Action Research November 28-30, 2019 • Mallberry Suites Business Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines

Message Greetings! Your theme, “From Institutional and Action Research to Publications of Best Practices is timely for all striving researchers. Not all researchers have the time to continuously do their homework because of other personal factors that hinder them to. As some other researchers are continuously doing their research studies, it continues to pour in new knowledge for the benefit of the schools, the students, other researchers, and to those that are following the current trends in technology and their applications. The three purposes that were laid out to encourage action researches to publication consider resolutions to school problems, application of the results from theses and dissertations, and drawing a new perspective in the resolutions to the educational and organizational problems and issues. Researchers are encouraged to continue with their advocacy in providing inputs to the public through their research studies in their field of expertise. One good example is my continuous encouragement of our MBA, MM, and Ph.D. students to hone their skills in writing let alone provide impetus to the striving researchers so that this industry will continue to surface. Although time is one important factor to deal with this advocacy, it is the individual’s prerogative if they can provide some time in their busy schedule. Doing research studies are not that easy to accomplish. When a new researcher started his study, he needs to focus on the format or template that he is using. For example, the use of IMRAD format in the publication of research internationally will consume so much time for a researcher who is adept in using the university academic format. The need to change from traditional format to the international publication template requires time and focus where the contents are limited to required maximum words. It is in this context that a researcher should be versatile or flexible in his approach in the preparation of his research study where he can switch from traditional or Germanic to IMRAD or vice versa. Knowing these two methods can be exciting and will be beneficial to the researchers and the readers. As a lasting word, it is my deep profound belief that institutional and actionable research can end up a significant contribution to new knowledge especially if it involves best practices in the industry it applies. It is my fervent prayer that all researchers be granted by the Almighty God the continuous sound mind, good health, and a spiritual soul for the studies produced will benefit mankind. DR. EDUARDO P.

Message As a fellow academic, researcher and a university teacher from Pakistan, I find it immensely heartening to know about the sizzling success of Philippine Conference on Multidisciplinary Research 2019 in which as I learn 60 educators from almost 30 higher education institutions successfully took active part. I am equally delighted to know ASTR is building upon the earlier moot in form of organizing global moot on November 27 instant entitled 3rd Asian Conference on Institutional and Action Research 2019 (ACIAR 2019). Research conferences help generate knowledge and wisdom regarding educational problems to guide future action in teaching-learning contexts across the world; besides contributing to formulation of policy frameworks and further research implications. Research conferences also serve as excellent platforms to pool intellectual capital (scholars) from around the globe under one ceiling, providing them opportunity to interact, inter-learn, inter-inspire one another and also intrabenefit budding and promising researchers through vis-Ă -vis interface. I feel highly honored and profoundly privileged upon having been approached to ink this my humble message on the given august occasion. I cordially felicitate the conference Honorary President Dr. Chen Roach of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, Cambodia and Mr. Russel B. Obsioma of the conference secretariat upon smashing success of the conference; and upon being able to bring about significant improvements in higher education sector in the ASEAN. I earnestly look forward to contributing to this noble cause by being part of such noble initiative.

Institutional Research is a kind of iterative or repeated cycle of study done at institutions of higher learning to “ inform campus decision-making and planning in areas such as: admission, financial aid, curriculum assessment, enrollment management, staffing, student life, finance, facilities, athletics, and alumni relations.” IR researchers collect, analyze report and warehouse quantitative and qualitative data about their institution’s students, faculty, staff, curriculum, course offerings, and learning outcomes. They are involved in collecting and reporting information to government bodies (for example, CHED, DepEd) https://www.google.com/search?q=institutional+r esearch&oq=institutional+research&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0l4j69i60.17095j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 On the other hand, Action Research (AR) as the term implies involves studies aimed to produce “action”. The term “action research” was coined in the 1940s by Kurt Lewin, a German-American social psychologist who is widely considered to be the founder of this field. In schools, AR refers to a wide variety of evaluative, investigative, and analytical research methods designed to diagnose problems or weaknesses—whether organizational, academic, or instructional—and help educators develop practical solutions to address them quickly and efficiently. The main purpose of action research is to improve educational programs within schools. The four main types of action research design are: individual research, collaborative research, school-wide research and district-wide research. https://www.google.com/search?q=action +research&oq=action+research&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i59j0l3j69i61.9516j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 AR researchers Identify a problem to be studied, collect data on the problem, organize, analyze, and interpret the data, develop a plan to address the problem, implement the plan, evaluate the results of the actions taken, identify a new problem, repeat the process expected to help the institution to solve problems quickly and efficiently. Unlike more formal research studies, such as those conducted by universities and published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals, AR is typically conducted by the educators working in the district or school being studied—the participants—rather than by independent, impartial observers from outside organizations. Less formal, prescriptive, or theorydriven research methods are typically used when conducting AR, since the goal is to address practical problems in a specific school or classroom, rather than produce independently validated and reproducible findings that others, outside of the context being studied can use to guide their future actions or inform the design of their academic programs. AR involves three models: TechnicalAR, Practical AR and Emancipatory AR In this increasingly competitive field, we must take a look at our competitive advantages.

Second Keynote Speaker

GENARO V. JAPOS, PhD, DoDT, DM, DHRM President Philippine Association of Institutions for Research, Inc. Institutional research aims to diagnose frontline and management problems as basis for designing solutions. Action research is part two of institutional research since it deals results of implemented actions or interventions to solve identified problems in the institutional research. Results if institutional and action research by their nature do not have generalizability owing to their being case studies unique to the institution. Hence, hypothesis thesis that leads to theory validation is not the object of such studies. What they are concerned about is to derive feedback on how particular actions generate results to ameliorate existing problems. Few journals accept these studies. In particular JIRSEA, the Journal of Institutional Research, Scopus-indexed and published by SEAAIR based in Bangkok, Thailand and Institutional Research Journal published by PAIR accept these studies. Both SEAAIR and PAIR are affiliated with the Association of Institutional Research, USA. Such studies can be published in the Action Research Journal and the Research Digest of the universities. A forum institutional or action research should held as venue for these studies as a development conference. The winners bag the price for benchmarking tour to other schools to learn some beat practices, Positive results of these studies need to be replicated to affirm results and polish the methodology resulting to the crafting of a Research Protocol. Another study is born as a documentation of Best Practices. AIR USA , the airweb.org has a helpful book on Primer of Institutional Research which you get upon payment of membership.

Third Keynote Speaker

DR. ERNESTO LOBIOGO ALOLOR Vice President for Academic Affairs University of Southern Philippines Foundation Education 4.0: The Changing Educational Landscape Our global educational landscape is rapidly changing because of the on-going disruptions being brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution or IR 4.0; thus, Education 4.0. With all these disruptions, our educational and training systems, and particularly our institutions of higher learning, need to adapt to better prepare graduates for the flexibility and critical thinking skills they will need in the future workplace because the upheaval of IR 4.0 would be more likely to be felt in the workplace. Our institutional, our individual and collective research endeavors need to consider the innovations in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, robotics, and other emerging technologies because our capabilities, including our research capabilities, and our potentials will evolve along with these technologies that we create.

Abstracts

BILLY JOEL B. RAMOS Thinklogic PTE LTD.

ften evaluative, investigative and analytical in nature, institutional and action research aim to diagnose organizational, instructional, or academic issues and problems and develop practical, efficient and realistic solutions and outcomes. However, institutional and action research outputs do not simply end in problem identification and resolution. Rather, its value comes full circle in its journal publication, article citation, information dissemination and research translation to the most number of people. The end goal is not just improving the community we serve but also, the other communities, institutions and organizations that has encountered, is encountering and will encounter similar issues and difficulties. In publishing these institutional and action research outputs, we are not just filling in the gap in knowledge but also, providing possible solutions, policies and processes backed by scientific evidence to quandaries of institutional kind. Hosted by the Asian Society of Teachers for Research, Inc. and co-hosted by the University of Southern Philippines Foundation, the 3rd Asian Conference on Institutional and Action Research 2019 highlights this fact as it gathers scientists, researchers, academicians, administrators, teachers and students in this Conference. Themed ““From Institutional and Action Research to Publications of Best Practices,” the ACIAR 2019 aims to: (1) to share best practices in using research solutions to school problems that result to best practice publications; (2) disseminate results of thesis/dissertation in tertiary and graduate education levels; and (3) to draw new perspectives in solving educational and organizational problems and issues. Most studies to be presented in this Conference deals with providing solutions to problems in the educational setting as most of the participants come from basic and higher education institutions. The study on student –centered learning in General Education Program revealed that the student-centered approach honed students’ ability in communication, self-directed learning, critical thinking and creativity. The studies on Popispeak, a public speaking anxiety intervention for students, effectiveness of collaborative approaches of Technology and Livelihood Education students as well as the effect of using seminar in the performance of graduating education students showed that Popispeak, the collaborative approaches and seminars improved the public speaking anxiety and oral communication skills of college students, learning outcomes of TLE students and level of performance of graduating education students, respectively. On the other hand, the study Maguindanao’s tudtulan (folk literature) showed potential as instructional materials as it promotes nationalism and ethnocentrism.

Conference Theme: "From Institutional and Action Research to Publications of Best Practices"

Studies on the effect of teacher’s attitude on Kindergarten learning, Mathematics anxiety and performance of students, and utilization of maintenance and other operating expenses in relation to student’s academic performance offer perspectives on other factors that influence pupils and student’s learning and academic performance. The research outputs on the level of stress by teachers, faculty organization presidents and how they handle cases involving teachers, and education literacy of administrators in state universities and colleges provide a picture on the level of stress experienced by teachers, how school heads handle cases involving teachers and how they protect teachers’ rights, and the education law literacy of SUC administrators. Moreover, the research outputs dealing with organization development of a marketing organization, organization culture of a government agency as well as well as assessment of customer satisfaction of a home-based catering business provide insights that could be beneficial in the improvement of the respective organization, government agency and business. Studies on sustainability, sustainable development and disaster risk reduction and management are also well represented in this conference. The study highlighting conceptions of sustainable development through vision and mission statements of nine Bicol SUCs posited that sustainable practices of SUCs are anchored mainly in the institutional statements and requires re-orienting higher education specifically on sustainable development. Studies on the functionality of the DRRM program of Negros Oriental and implementation of DRRM in Agusan del Norte, Philippines determined the functionality as well as the implementation of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management program in the respective localities.

Studies on the environment, ecology and conservation are also to be presented. The research outputs on ecological development and sustainable tourism of Panay Island, the sensitivity analysis of Penman-Monteith Reference evapotranspiration to climactic variables, green initiatives of fine dining restaurants, and eco-friendly school best practices highlights the overarching need to push for the protection and care of the environment in the rapid onset of the catastrophic impacts of climate change. These studies and more that I have not mentioned will be presented in this forum. These research outputs are welcome addition to the global repository of knowledge. I sincerely hope that the outputs that have been presented here will hopefully be published and eventually cited, as that is the end goal of every researcher. We congratulate the Asian Society of Teachers for Research, Inc. and the University of Southern Philippines Foundation for organizing this scientific undertaking and gathering this spectrum of research outputs showcasing the importance of institutional and action research.

Sensitivity Analysis of Penman-Monteith Reference Evapotranspiration to Climatic Variables in Davao Region, Philippines GRACE OLEA-TULANG https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7283- 1773 grace.tulang@cvsc.edu.ph Compostela Valley State College Philippines The occurrence of climate change problems has become a major concern nowadays because it may bring a significant impact to different components of the water cycle. One of these components is evapotranspiration. Thus, the sensitivity analysis is essential in understanding the effect of climatic input variables on the variation of evapotranspiration, which is a significant element for hydrological modeling, irrigation programs, and water resources management. This study investigated the effects of evapotranspiration on the variation of temperature, sunshine duration, wind speed, and relative humidity and to generate thematic maps of the four climatic factors and reference evapotranspiration using GIS. Daily data from 2008 to 2018 of USeP and PCA PAGASA Agromet Stations were used. For each climatic variable, a variation of ±2% up to ±10% was performed to evaluate the sensitivity of the evapotranspiration to the input variables. Results showed that evapotranspiration is more sensitive to the variation of sunshine duration, relative humidity, and maximum temperature. The highest computed sensitivity coefficients were observed on the sunshine duration and relative humidity with a value of 0.54 and 0.74, and 2.72 and 1.48 at USeP and PCA Stations, respectively. This indicated a larger predictive power that implies positive predictions of evapotranspiration for future use. Keywords: Evapotranspiration, Penman-Monteith,Sensitivity Coefficient, Philippines

Unit Residents’ Satisfaction Level on the Physical Environment and Interactional Quality of a Condominium in a University Belt in Metro Manila, Philippines DONALD PARAS MONTELLANO https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2609-6146 donald_montellano2001@yahoo.com Universidad de Manila, Philippines

For the last ten years, condominiums were only for those who can afford them. Today, they also cater to the students within the university belt areas of the cities, especially in Metro Manila, Philippines. As such, this study determined the satisfaction level of the condominium residents in terms of physical environment quality (PEQ) and interactional quality (IQ) between the unit owners and the employees of the building property management. The study involved 315 unit residents who were randomly selected from the six towers/buildings of the Suntrust Parkview Condominium Properties near SM Manila. Their satisfaction level was measured using a five-point Likert scale: “strongly dissatisfied” (1) to “strongly satisfied” (5). The demographic profile of the unit residents was also gathered. Results revealed that more than half of the unit residents were post-millennial students, followed by millennials employed by private companies, mostly working in business process outsourcing companies. Half of them have no income because they were dependent on their parents, followed by lower-middle-income earners with a monthly income, range of Php 19,030.00 – 38,080.00. The mean family size was three ranging from two to four members per unit. They were generally “satisfied” with the PEQ and IQ of Suntrust Parkview Condominiums. Accessibility to public offices and services under PEQ was rated “strongly satisfied”. However, they were “dissatisfied” with the drainage and elevator system of the condominium buildings. The majority of the measured indicators under interactional quality (IQ), were rated “satisfied”, except with some “moderately satisfied” ratings on the employees’ skills, initiative and readiness in addressing their problems and requests. Furthermore, there was a correlation between the satisfaction level of the tenants in terms of PEQ and IQ. A working feedback mechanism, like regular meetings between unit residents and building property management, was recommended for quality service management.

Tudtulan Nu Magindanawon: Its Potential as Instructional Materials TERESITA L. ABREA https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1061-8627 rgarcia@feu.edu.ph Mindanao State University-Maguindanao Philippines The preservation and enrichment of the nation’s cultural heritage may gain momentum through the use of indigenous materials. Folk literature (tudtulan) promote values as nationalism, and ethnocentrism. The qualitative method was used in the study. Collected tudtulan are in Magindanawon and translated in English using transference method. This study on the use of the Magindanawon folktales as instructional materials was conducted because of the brewing need to understand and translate the culture of the Maguindanaon. The 1987 Philippine Constitution stipulates the care and protection of the native languages. Thus, there is the implementation of the MTB-MLE, a medium to propagate the native language. But, there is inadequacy in the implementation due to lack of instructional materials and this study answered the perennial problem. There were attempts to translate these teaching materials; however, it was not addressed effectively. The study revealed that the Magindanawon folktales and its categories can be used as instructional materials, determine the subjects be best taught, evaluate the functionality, list the values/themes and teaching objectives, reflected and enumerated the teaching strategies useful in teaching these folktales. The embedded values in the tudtulan make them as potential learning media both in basic and higher education for the millennium.

How Well-Protected are Teachers in School? ALMA SONIA Q. SANCHEZ-DANDAY http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7374-982X alexnightingale2000@yahoo.com Leyte Normal University Philippines School leaders are responsible for providing a socially just environment for teachers. However, studies revealed a low education law literacy of school heads to adequately protect teachers’ rights. This study sought to describe how ten purposively chosen faculty organization presidents from different public higher education institutions in the Philippines handle cases involving teachers. The common issues and challenges encountered were likewise determined through a descriptive single case study design. Methodological triangulation was used in gathering the data thematically analyzed with the aid of NVivo qualitative data analysis software. Results revealed the different misconceptions of the members of the disciplinary committee, the preference of settlement over the resolution of cases, and the presumed existence of a conflict of interest among faculty presidents designated to a supervisory position. Findings imply the need to re-visit and re-orient the members of the grievance and disciplinary committees on the definition of administrative offenses and grievable matters and the scope of their jurisdiction. Recommendations for further actions include the establishment of an appropriate education law program for teachers and school administrators.

Philippine Higher Education Institution’s Discourse on Sustainable Development: Bicol SUCs in Perspective RICHARD G. CASTOR https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9929-4288 richard.castor@cbsua.edu.ph Central Bicol State University of Agriculture-Calabanga Campus Philippines Sustainable development apart from being nebulous in terms of conception remains a seemingly elusive goal. Education is arguably one of the drivers towards sustainability. This paper explores sustainable development discourses among State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Bicol Region, Philippines. Using an exploratory discourse cum content analysis, conceptions of sustainable development through the vision and mission (VM) statements of nine SUCs in Bicol was examined to identify keywords advanced in SUC’s VM, ascertain synergies and contradictions using sustainability as a lens, and explain how SUCs frame sustainable development in the VMs. A cross-reference of keywords and ideas forwarded in and among UNESCO and CHED documents along sustainable development guided the discourse-content analysis. Combining VM statements of nine SUCs, 152 words were generated through the word cloud and 11 keywords namely: development, education, research, science, quality, sustainable, management, university, technology, higher and arts dominated the discourse which typifies synergies and contradictions in the sustainability lens. The paper concludes with a proposition for a comprehensive approach in problematizing the discourse as sustainability dichotomies which represent themes as identity, change, and HEI roles. Further, the paper posits that the sustainable practices of SUCs are anchored mainly in the institutional statements and therefore requires reorienting higher education specifically on sustainable development.

Improving Coordination in Implementing the Project- Based Learning Curriculum in the Senior High School Program of ACADEMY X JESSICA JAYE S. RANIESES https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3458-5601 jessica.ranieses@iacademy.edu.ph iACADEMY Philippines This action research focuses on improving the coordination between the faculty and the students in implementing the Project- Based Learning method in the Senior High School (SHS) program of ACADEMY X. Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching pedagogy that focuses on a student-centered learning environment where learning takes place through projects that students undertake. The curriculum of the SHS program in ACADEMY X is centered on this method. Ravitz (2010) emphasized three factors in the implementation of PBL which is the need for supportive school leadership, structure, and culture as the major challenge in the PBL implementation is that “no teacher implement PBL in the same way” (Ravitz, 2010; Tamim & Grant, n.d.). The results of this action research highlights the 1) role of the organizational structure in facilitating coordination, 2) importance of good communication between faculty and students; and 3) good collaboration between the faculty. As an insider action research, this paper used the combination of first person, second, and third inquiry. My collaborators and I addressed the issue of coordination by clarifying the roles of the teachers in information dissemination to students, standardizing tools by which we disseminate information, facilitating communication and collaboration through regular meetings, and involving the faculty in project planning and implementation.

Mathematics Anxiety and Performance of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Students in CBSUA-Calabanga CRISTINE D. SAPE-SALAZAR https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8748-2898 cristinesape04131994@gmail.com Central Bicol State University of Agriculture-Calabanga Campus Philippines Mastery of mathematics is a key literacy component that influences learners’ success in education and in future society. Researchers posit that investigating students’ level of anxiety in Mathematics is crucial in identifying possible interventions to help students in learning the subject. However, few researchers have examined the level of anxiety in terms of Test, Numerical and Subject Anxieties. By breaking down the mathematics anxiety into these aspects, teachers’ and institutions’ mode of action for the development on the mathematics performance of the students will be much easier. The research study employed the descriptive-evaluative and correlational research method to determine the students’ level of mathematics anxiety and its effect on students’ mathematics performance. Furthermore, we also assessed the students’ level of anxiety across year level. The respondents were 84 Bachelor of Science in Mathematics students in CBSUA-Calabanga. The result revealed that students’ level of anxiety is greatly affected by Test Anxiety which is also significantly related to their performance in mathematics. Moreover, as the students move up to senior years in college the higher its level of anxiety. Teachers and institutions may consider adapting various alternative assessment tools that will cater students’ individual needs and multiple intelligences to gradually eradicate students’ mathematics anxiety.
