ISSN 2094-9529 Theme: Research for resilience and sustainability in the new normal environment

I

extend my warm welcome to all the participants in this 3rd International Virtual Conference on Development (IVCDE 2022) with the theme : Research for Resilience and Sustainability in the new Normal Environment.

The occurrence of COVID-19 has brought so much perils to mankind. Evidence shows that thousands of lives were in danger and some of them ended kissing the face of death. Economic downplay, Health threats, and Variants aggressiveness of COVID-19 have paralyzed the world; yet people are left with no choice but to embrace it, live with it and co-exist with it.

As the world gradually regains its posture from the big fall, research comes into play to ascertain the preservation of life.

Research has become an essential element to strike a balance between the pandemic attack to mankind and mankind to counter attack the pandemic where the conduit of the hard and soft sciences in research is inseparable. While in the medical science continues to find the best remedy for this global threat, collection of fascinating stories, disseminating results of research in soft sciences, and holding virtual fora are some of the many ways to generate possibilities and hopes in resolving if not; regulating the spread of the Corona virus.

Cognizant of this, the very heart of our gathering today focuses on Resiliency and Sustainability. How these two strong words interplay in the conduct of research in this new normal? The answer to this shall be laid down before us in this three-day conference bearing in mind that in the new normal researchers, experts, and scientists from different field of disciplines have one common direction to redefine the meaning of resiliency and sustainability amidst the threat of this pandemic.

On the one hand, among the most frequently quoted definitions of resilience, and what it means to be resilient, are “positive development despite adversity” (Luthar, 2003) or “the ability to withstand and rebound from disruptive life challenges, strengthened and more resourceful” (Walsh, 2008) and I call it Resiliency through recalibration.

On the other hand, sustainability is essentially the ability to endure, for example by exploiting resources in a way that does not deplete their future availability or unduly damage the wider environment. This concept has been incorporated in the idea of sustainable development without harming mother earth but bringing back its beauty that prolongs life, offers liberty, and provides more opportunities that mere imaginations, more of preservation than destruction, and most importantly more of affection than indignation and for me I mean to say it is resiliency through restoration.

In marrying resiliency and sustainability, it is not all about facing the adversity but an individual’s inner psychological resources or innate characteristics; it involves a combination of ‘nature’, what a child is born with, and ‘nurture, what they learn and are offered along the way and I termed it Resiliency by reflection. Finally, let us set our mind and heart the very purpose of this research conference that plays around the meaning of recalibration, restoration, and reflection as essential elements in ascertaining resilience and sustainability in this new normal environment.

Again, welcome our dear participants in this virtual research conference..

ear researchers, scholars and educators Welcome to the 3rd International Virtual Conference on Development Education (IVCDE 2022) that is held on April 6-8, 2022. It is a privilege for me to have you all participate in this virtual international conference.

First of all, let me express my gratitude to the host and co-host, as well as the speakers and participants for being present in this conference. We have a good chance in this forum regarding the objectives stipulated in this conference. It has four objectives such as aimed to: (1) provide a forum for research findings from the international community; (2) disseminate results of thesis/dissertation in basic, tertiary, and graduate education levels; (3) create avenues for publication of new researches; and (4) establish partnership and collaborations across researchers in a global context.

From the objectives, we can disseminate our research findings and they will be globally read by the global community. Besides that, the objectives can also lead us to have partnership for possible collaboration. Global collaborations can make us more widely recognized and thus being globally well-known researchers and educators.

Secondly, I would like to express my appreciation to all of you in the discussion with your selected topics. More importantly, we can also relate our topics in the presentation to the conference theme that is “Research for Resilience and Sustainability in the New Normal Environment.” Your topics would be of great contribution to this conference with its theme.

Finally, I would like to thank you all again and express my special greeting to the keynote speakers and the parallel speakers, as well as participants and observant.

Wishing you all the best

030 is the year given to humanity to determine if the Sustainable Development Goals are accomplished. Research, Science, and Education efforts cannot be overemphasized, with the deadline nearing every year. With the challenge everyone faces in this generation to ready the road for the future generation’s lives to be way greater, much safer, and happier than ours, the organization of conferences like this is imperative. Congratulations to the organizers, speakers, presenters, and participants of this 3rd International Virtual Conference on Developmental Education (3rd IVCDE). Your contribution to the realization of this conference is a foolproof testimony of your empathy and concern to continue and answer the challenges of sustainable development. Remember that your resiliency is upfront with sustainability being more than eco-friendly ideas and climate change. Research is being done everywhere, yet there can never be enough with dynamic, evolving, and shifting analysis. It takes resiliency at its best for researchers to address the concerns and issues of disparity, bridge the gaps in inequality, and complete the puzzle of sustainability.

I congratulate everyone on choosing not to have a blind eye to sustainable development education issues and for being brave to take on the challenge of using the products of research to make this world a better place.

Carry on, keep the faith, may your tribe increase!

ear Professors, Researchers, Teachers and Society Members!

It is with great pleasure that I welcome all of you to the 3rd International Virtual Conference on Development Education (IVCDE 2022) on April 6-8, 2022, which will be conducted virtually via ZOOM Teleconferencing.

Themed, “Research for Resilience and Sustainability in the New Normal Environment,” the IVCDE 2022 aimed to: (1) provide a forum for research findings from the international community; (2) disseminate results of thesis/dissertation in basic, tertiary, and graduate education levels; (3) create avenues for publication of new researches; and (4) establish partnership and collaborations across researchers in a global context.

I am certain that this conference provides great prospects to the practitioners, scholars, scientists and academicians from across various disciplines to discuss advancement and innovation in empirical evidence from scientific literature as basis for research. With the valuable thoughts to be shared by every researcher, this shall open the horizon to publish and disseminate research outcomes for grander utilization.

I strongly believe all of you attending this conference are ready to be a part of this innovation.

Let us not allow the political landscape to shape how we should teach our students or the type of research we produce, but instead lead with our passion and find a way to accept those “disruptors” on campus, and take advantage of this education revolution. It is through our learning communities that we seek to raise the bar higher with every publication and presentation.

I am very excited for all of you and look forward to reviewing your work. Congratulations for your achievement and thank you for your contributions to the academy. Wishing all of you, professors, researchers, teachers, and all members of the ASEAN Society of Teachers for Research Inc., all great success and very rewarding conference.

he members of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. The Philippines and other Asian Countries were signatories to the agenda which contained a global education goal (SDG 4) requiring that the Philippines agreed to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Research has implications to education planning, development, and goals. It assesses education investments, enable policy development, facilitates evidence-based decision-making, and provide solutions to prevailing education issues, among others. Amidst the challenging times brought about by the pandemic, researchers and teachers should confront the basic education imperatives and innovate the quality of the country’s basic education and address the challenge to change the way learners are taught.

As a result of research and development, innovation improves the curriculum delivery and instruction even amidst the challenges. Innovation ensures learning continuity and acquisition of life long skills and enables collaborations and partnerships. Research should not only be disseminated but more importantly, utilized. We can disseminate research results through interactive conferences, e-posters, digital platforms, and peer reviewed journals. We can utilize research results in the crafting the Strategic Development Plan and innovating education services Keywords: Education, research and development, innovation, implications, research utilization, research dissemination, Philippines

esearch and publication are an essential aspect of the advancement of progress and development. New advances research is communicated to the scientific community through publications. As the researchers, we make huge steps in advancing essential knowledge through publishing research findings for further utilization and publication. Our achievements in research and publication can save lives and improve the way we live. Sharing our research and findings can help you make a greater impact in your community, leading to better collaboration, new ideas and potential innovations.

However, conducting research and publishing papers during the global COVID-19 crisis faces various challenges. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, research community has come to breaking point, hampered research activities and publication. Borders have been closed, economies have suffered and communities have lived in fear of potential viral transmission. Academic research activities were significantly hampered, field visits and data collection were paralyzed. This keynote lecture will highlight the challenges faced by the researcher in terms of research and publication in this era. However, it is documented that researchers especially in the higher educational institutions are facing challenges with respect to get the citation and quality publication. This plenary lecture will highlight the overview of getting published research findings in the indexed journals.

My Research Experience XANDRE IMMANUEL C. ACOSTA xandreacosta418@gmail.com Northern Illinois University United States

P

hilippine School Doha has a great regard on research. Its students were exposed to this environment at an early stage of their learning journey. Being one of those students, I was able to utilize my research-making experience in my undergraduate studies. My early exposure to research was a big advantage in my transition through college as a pre-medical student. It gave me an edge over others. Although sometimes this advantage was overlooked by some. The hard work that came with creating a research output often overshadowed the benefits of the whole experience. Initially, one may think that nothing could be gained from research. However, there was so much gained from it. This experience created competent high school graduates. I learned many things from being exposed to such a rich research environment. I used the knowledge I gained from my research experience in school as a tool to expand my learning even more. With research, the learning never stopped.

Understanding Plagiarism: What It Is and How to Avoid It IMEE C. ACOSTA

P

lagiarism has repeatedly become an issue among students. It is a serious academic misconduct because of its serious impact to the academia and the research community. This problem has been present for decades and has become a major concern within educational institutions as it impedes academic integrity and its culture of excellence. Several studies confirmed that plagiarism among students resulted from their lack of understanding about plagiarism and inadequate knowledge of avoiding it (Selemani, Chawinga, & Dube 2018; MacLennan, 2018; Permana & Santosa, 2018; Doro, 2014). Central to this issue is to understand what pushed the students to plagiarize and how to guide them to avoid plagiarism. This paper has explored the literature to look into various anti-plagiarism strategies that teachers can use to mentor their students on how to avoid plagiarism when writing their research-based papers.

Based on the literature survey, avoiding plagiarism starts with understanding students’ perceptions on plagiarism and the reasons why they committed such dishonesty. Best practices to avoid plagiarism are also presented, and this paper concludes with practical and workable suggestions of how students can avoid misconduct in their academic writing. The proper way of documenting sources of information can enhance a researcher’s credibility, ensures academic integrity, and strengthens the scientific process.

veryday realities in life call for the application of qualitative research.

An approach first used in the early decades of the twenty-first century with its roots in anthropology, philosophy, and sociology, qualitative research is now largely used in social and behavioral sciences. Its relevance to other fields particularly in education should be invigorated as this methodology provides an in-depth understanding of experiences, phenomena, and context which cannot be vividly expressed in numbers. Though wildly used and accepted, this research design is often criticized as biased, anecdotal, and lacking rigor. Hence, this talk is designed to elucidate the nature and characteristics of qualitative research and how it differs from quantitative research; expound on the basic approaches to writing and designing qualitative research, and guide emerging and seasoned researchers alike in preparing for a good qualitative paper. Considering the views of experts in the field, the presentation concludes with an evocative description of the attributes of an excellent qualitative researcher emphasizing the values of commitment, objectivity, responsibility, and ethical research writing to meet the increasing expectations of qualitative research methodological demands and come up with an unbiased, in-depth, valid, reliable, credible, and rigorous qualitative research paper.

esearchers have different ways of conducting their study, it may be qualitative, quantitative, or even mixed methods. Recently, qualitative research has been gaining popularity being viewed as putting greater depth, giving meaning and providing a better understanding to research, and not only to measure or quantify. Behind every successful qualitative research is the back-stage tedious task of transcribing interviews, may it be from audio or video materials. As transcription may be seen as boring yet pain-staking job, it can be said that this process is critically important and has powerful role in any qualitative research, no thematization can happen without a credible and reliable qualitative data. Transcript must be solid in order to render a substantial thematic analysis, the accuracy of qualitative data from a transcript can directly mean the quality of analysis that can be done. Thematization is the process of systematically arranging and organizing constructs from identifiable patterns and rhemes from texts, juicing the substances from the transcript using inductive reasoning, and delivering interpretations – making sense of what has been extracted from the transcript. Once in a while there is a need to revisit and put emphasis on the process that goes between transcription and thematization, to ensure researchers are aligned and observing the best practices.

MR. LAWRENCE GABRIEL R. MARARAC Senior High School Student, Philippine School Doha Qatar ncouraging the pursuit of truth and knowledge, research has always been the driving force of the advancement and transformation of society. Indeed, research has become a fundamental aspect of human life by uncovering the underlying causes of our circumstances and by proposing solutions to the unsettled issues of civilization in different areas and aspects.

As the world grapples with the global pandemic, it creates humanity’s predicament under this plague that doomed millions of people. While this plague becomes man’s greatest unseen enemy, research sheds a spotlight that provides hopes and opportunities for all experts to gather and synergize to coming up with breakthroughs in both the hard and the soft sciences along with the underlying scientific inquiry that has led to the development of vaccines and the likes as new treatments to ease our challenging situation.

Despite the distance made by the pandemic and its attempt to impart knowledge and insights, the Asian Society of Teachers for Research in partnership with Philippine School Doha is truly passionate to hold the 3rd International Virtual Conference on Development Education (IVCDE 2022) with the theme “Research for Resilience and Sustainability in the New Normal that aims at (1) providing a forum for research findings from the international community; (2) disseminating results of thesis/dissertation in basic, tertiary, and graduate education levels; (3) creating avenues for publication of new researches; and (4) establishing partnership and collaborations across researchers in a global context.

Guided by the very purpose of this intellectual gathering, research has become a pivotal point illuminating feedbacks, discoveries, findings, and breakthroughs that pave the way to resolving or regulating the effect of this pandemic threat. Education, on the one hand, never ceases to explore possibilities without undermining the role of research as the means to justify the ends while on the other hand the basic philosophical assumptions such as epistemology, ontology, axiology, and methodology as the framework in every research attempt should neither be disregarded nor underestimated. Mindfully, this framework, has led me to the themes that categorize Determination, Innovation, Transformation, and Connection that circumnavigate the zealous purpose of this meeting of scholars across the globe.

Determination. During the apex of the global turmoil, sources for determination can be difficult to find for people from all walks of life.

This was greatly experienced by individuals whose families depend on them for continuity, such as for financial sustenance. In this category, research proves the viability of human existence and the means of survival focusing on the problem relative to social science where findings show that people facing the problem firsthand had no choice but to give up, forcing them to risk their lives with their parents, spouses, and children not knowing what might happen next. However, despite all the obstacles and dilemmas, breadwinners, frontliners, and their families did not give up and continue to hope for a better situation and future.

Consequently, a study proved that keeping one’s mental health in good shape and looking at things with so much optimism brings hope amidst the undesirable situations.

Innovation. The exponential increase of coronavirus cases has resulted in the interruptions of the normal flow of different sectors of society including education, health, business, and many others.

Considering, these hardships, the creative minds of the people have never let this pandemic arrest growth and development. The limitations in this era

Synthesis of Abstracts have never hindered the flourishing of new ideas and innovations as people continue to adapt to the new situation— the new normal. One study revealed the notion that by utilizing digital modules as education shifted to distance learning is the best alternative learning mode to ensure undisrupted flow of education. This new way of learning had a very satisfactory level of evaluation. Moreover, the method has maximized the achievement of learning outcomes and has improved the level of understanding of students despite the situation of meeting and holding classes in virtual mode.

Furthermore, the education sector is not only the one that adapted this virtual or digital strategy, but businesses and other companies as well which have been greatly affected due to economic fluctuations during the pandemic. Thus, innovative, and sustainable systems of management were created to cope with the problem at hand and to generate more income. A research study highlighted that businessmen in Qatar had to deal with impacts, relieving stress, and addressing liabilities. Despite these complications, sustainable strategies were done in businesses which was evident in one study. It revealed that green initiatives were radiated in social enterprises and the economic aspect of maximizing profit is maintained through the emerging initiative borne out of the creative minds of mankind in order not only to survive but to thrive.

Transformation. Uncertainties are very much prevalent in the pandemic as we encounter new changes almost every day which affect our decision-making process as we consider different circumstances and outlooks. Oftentimes, no decision is made to last forever as factors such as newly discovered information and the different perspectives can shift to what a person perceives to be the right decision. This situation is exemplified in a study where it is prevalent in students, specifically those who are at the stage of choosing their future careers. A handful may experience that their dream profession will become what they dislike the most, or what they think might now work out ignites self-reinvention. However, not all mistakes are negative turning points as some consider an event like this a pivotal moment in transforming their freshman and working lives. To get the most benefit out of a hot situation may just be what some individuals need to discover what they want in the long run.

Connection. Despite the hardships people encounter throughout their difficult journey in this pandemic, it is still essential to take time and build strong relationships with family, friends, and other loved ones. True love is known to be unconditional and is not limited by boundaries. In this pandemic, we have all been distanced a meter yet that should not stop us from establishing connections. Neither differences in language, culture, nor race shall hinder us to feel intimacy and affection. Thus, nurturing our bonds with warmth and tenderness will truly aid us to gain fulfillment in our lives and fill in that sense of incompleteness. A study which speaks of the experiences of single parents says that parents play a significant role in a child’s growth. Manifested in one study, it highlighted the lived experiences of single fathers on parenting in which it was proved that single fathers can provide love and care like those of single mothers. While these children may only have one parent, the fact that their fathers give a great sense of affection, a void in their heart is filled with paternal love.

Love and intimacy do not only involve people and emotions, but it also extends towards culture and language for it allows us to connect to one another. As the vehicle of communication, language effectively transmits and expresses our thoughts and ideas through speaking and writing. However, not all are adept into using language effectively especially if a language is not the mother or native tongue. A study revealed that speaking in a foreign language gives anxiety to speakers especially when discussing with superiors, peers, and other colleagues. Regardless of difficulties, findings of a study proved that those who are challenged in utilizing a foreign language incorporated coping mechanisms such as having self-motivation, doing self-study, and seeking external aid. To further extend aid in language accumulation, innovative systems and frameworks on language education was also stipulated in a study to mitigate issues in multilingual education.

While this global plague decimated the normal way of living that we were used to, we shall not put into oblivion the numerous opportunities that await us to adapt and create change—for good. Despite all the challenges, difficulties, and uncertainties that this pandemic has given us, we shall never put ourselves to halt in being creative and innovative to discover meaningful and scientific solutions to our unfavorable situations through research. The scholarly articles presented to us truly portrayed and proved the value of resiliency and the importance of remaining strong amidst the great magnitude of hardships that society has faced. We shall seal into eternity all the articulations in the papers presented in this conference and use them to cultivate ourselves and the society. In so doing, research remains the absolute mode of keeping our world intact, of providing our economy a magnifying lens for world sustainability, and of ensuring the preservation of mankind.

Bittersweet Metamorphosis: Lived Experiences of Emerging Adults Single Fathers on Parenting DANIEL JOHN D. ARBOLEDA

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9330-3355 danieljohnarboleda@gmail.com University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos Philippines With the increasing number of single-father family households worldwide, there is a need to conduct substantial research to provide sufficient information about this understudied population. This qualitative phenomenological study seeks to describe, explore and interpret the lived experiences of emerging adult single fathers on parenting. It utilized the purposive and snowballing sampling techniques to select the participants. The data were gathered through face- to-face interviews guided by interview protocol. It employed Lichtman’s 3 C’s of Data Analysis to generate concepts/ themes extracted from participants’ verbatim transcripts. Five themes emerged from their lived experiences: Providing Care and Nurturance, Rearing One’s Child Properly, Dealing with Drawbacks in Single Fatherhood, Receiving Relief from Empathic Hands, and Appreciating Blissful Moments in Solitary Parenting. The findings provided insights that a transformation can adjust to their current situation and, most significantly, change for their children’s sake. Therefore, it is concluded that single fathers are truly capable of nurturing and raising their children with tenderness, warmth, care, and affection the same way with single mothers and dual-household families. Given the limitations of this qualitative research, quantitative research is suggested for further research to create a comprehensive intervention program for mental health professionals.

Having One and Only, Happy or Lonely? The Lived Experiences of Parents with One Child NOEMI F. FORMARAN

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9722-4793 nformaranpsdshs@gmail.com Philippine School Doha State of Qatar An idea formerly dismissed by others due to the social construct of yesterday’s parents expecting their children to support them their entire lives; having an only child is quickly becoming the norm within today’s young generation of parents to achieve a much more stable experience and balanced family life. This qualitative paper used a phenomenological research design to understand the lived experiences and perceptions of the parents with one child, relative to the central question: What are the struggles and benefits of having an only child? The data were gathered through twenty-five semi-structured interviews then analyzed using an inductive approach which developed four themes: character development, adjustment styles, challenges encountered, and values integration. Findings have shown that parents’ experience in raising a child is a journey of the unknown, which they prepare themselves in to raise them properly. They adapt to their child’s needs in terms of their character and values by implementing a punishment system. Parents play a significant role in a child’s growth. They mold their child to become a responsible citizen. The study advises future researchers to take more cognizance of the parents’ struggles, including pressure from environmental factors, underlying issues, and coping strategies, and to bridge the gap in the literature.

Lights and Shadows: Lived Experiences of Guidance Advocates in the Practice of Ethical Bracketing AILEEN JOY B. DECENA

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9876-5911 ajbellezadecena@yahoo.com University of Negros Occidental - Recoletos Carlos Hilado Memorial State College Philippines Due to the limited number of registered guidance counselors (RGCs) in the Philippines, public high schools are compelled to appoint classroom teachers as guidance advocates and perform the duties and responsibilities of an RGC, specifically facilitating counseling to learners. With their lack of training and fundamental knowledge, differing orientations, and demanding and overlapping work as classroom teachers and at the same time as guidance advocates, the participants are having difficulty practicing one of the ethical codes in the counseling profession – ethical bracketing; thus, its delivery is put to jeopardy. This study used descriptive phenomenological analysis to explore the lived experiences of guidance advocates on their practice of ethical bracketing in facilitating counseling services. Data were collected via unstructured in-depth interviews and analyzed using Lichtman’s three (3) C’s of Data Analysis, retaining only relevant themes. The participants did not just overcome the challenges they had faced in practice but experienced transformations that significantly impacted their perspective about themselves, their counselees, and the counseling profession. The findings of this study serve as baseline information in creating a training program that can address the concerns of the guidance advocates on their practice of ethical bracketing in facilitating counseling services.

A Structural Model of Science Teacher Education Student’s Conception and Content Engagement in a Flexible Learning Environment ALBIN JAY C. TABAMO

https://orcid.org/0102-0304-2497-3597 atabamo@crc.pshs.edu.ph Philippine Science High School System - Caraga Region Campus Philippines The CoViD-19 outbreak shuttles the entire educational system to a whole new set of realities resulting in the implementation of distance education in many schools in the Philippines. A flexible learning system has been utilized to provide the students the autonomy to select the pace, place, and mode of learning thereby facilitating student engagement. This study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of a flexible learning system, as conceived by 1st-year science teacher education students in four SUCs in the Caraga Region, Philippines on their level of content engagement.

Survey questionnaires were employed to 279 samples obtained via complete enumeration with an 80% retrieval rate. The constructs of the flexible learning model (personal flexibility, institutional agility, balanced pragmatism, and student’s choice) were used as independent variables while content engagement, as measured by its indicators (subject matter content level, occasion for processing, physiological readiness, and motivation), was used as the dependent variable. Four hypothesized models were constructed and tested. Normed Chi-square (x2/df), CFI, and RMSEA fit indices revealed that the measurement data fit well with the second hypothesized model. Structural equation modeling showed that personal flexibility (p<0.05; β=0.47) and balanced pragmatism (p<0.05; β=0.22) are strong predictors of content engagement.

The Preparedness of a Philippine Higher Education Institution on the Implementation of Flexible Learning (FL) JOCELYN L. ABSOLOR

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3289-2336 jocelynlabsolor@gmail.com Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College Philippines The higher education institutions’ response and innovations for the continuity of quality education in the midst of pandemic were the biggest challenge beset by them. This study mainly assessed the preparedness of Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College, Philippines on the implementation of flexible learning amidst COVID 19 pandemic.

The dimensions considered along preparedness are the following: resouces, modes of delivering instruction, policies, support services for students, course packages (available offline/online), mechanisms for students to receive and access printed or digital course packages and instructional materials, and establishment/availability/ utilization of multi-media or learning resource center/s for faculty members. This study further determined the contraints on the implementation of flexible learning and results served as benchmark in the development of a Learning Continuity Plan(LCP). This study made use of a descriptive design with 137 faculty respondents selected randomly. Survey questionnaire used by CHED as a monitoring tool for evaluating the implementation of Flexible Learning (FL) for all SUCs was the instrument used to gather data. Results revealed that the college is at the average level of preparedness; resources, modes of delivering instruction, plagiarism policy, courier, electronic library and Learning Management System(LMS) were identified as constraints that need to be improved. The Learning Continuity Plan (CLP) suggests measures to improve the implementation of Flexible Learning(FL).With these results,it is suggested that resources, Learning Management System (LMS) and modes of delivering instruction shall be established systematically.

Design and Development of Android-Based Application for Field Survey MAILYNE V. BACONGCO

https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6615-7551 mailynebacongco@sksu.edu.ph Sultan Kudarat State University Philippines Modern technology makes work easier and faster. However, the traditional paperbased method in field surveys is still commonly used. Thus, this study focuses on designing and developing an Android-based application for field surveys. The field survey system creates and summarizes survey questionnaires in real-time without hard copy materials. Agile development methodology was the adopted approach to hasten the development of the system. The system’s design is a client/ server architecture, and the programming language used for the Android app and webserver are C# and PHP 7, respectively. The study used a test case profiling system of indigenous agriculture and fishing practices for the system’s capability. The profiling system profiles the different indigenous techniques in agriculture and fisheries by recording images and videos. The field survey app could save and record data simultaneously in remote areas compared to the mobile survey tool in the market. The synchronization of data needs a stable internet connection, and the real-time result was displayed in the web server when the field surveyor synced all the data. Further, the system accepts multiple user registration with different accounts. The researcher will benefit from this study as it will give them inputs in designing a mobile app in a client/server environment.

Non-Wheat Edible Spoon FELY A. HABLA, EdD.

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-9925-0813 fely.habla@yahoo.com Sorsogon State University Philippines Plastics are convenient alternatives but have catastrophic effects to the environment and very detrimental to the health of humans. Based on data from international bodies, the Philippines is one of the biggest contributors of plastic waste in the ocean which mostly comprises singleused plastic such as packaging and single-used plastic cutleries. Currently there’s a growing trend in biodegradable and edible cutleries that will help lessen or completely eliminate the need and demand for single-use cutleries. This study focuses on the development of a non-wheat edible spoon using locally produced or harvested natural food ingredients, raw cassava and saba banana.

Two mixing methods and three different molding methods have been utilized. From the series of trials that have been conducted 2 trials have produced a product that possesses the quality of a functional and edible spoon. The product has the characteristics of a toasted bread or cookie or biscuit. Water absorption test of 30 minutes minimum shows that it can fulfil its function as a spoon and sensory evaluation further revealed that the developed edible spoon was acceptable and can be eaten afterwards. Both two trials have received a 9-point hedonic mean value > 7 in terms of appearance, smell, taste, texture, and hardness. Though further analysis of physicochemical characteristics of mixture and product; shelf life and packaging; and development of a proper close molder is necessary for commercialization in the future.

MINGUITO https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2749-8382 joramminguito@nipsc.edu.ph Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College Concepcion Campus Philippines This study aims to develop a gummy candy made from soursop locally known as Guyabano (Annona muricata Linnaeus) enriched with (κ) kappa-carrageenan. κ-carrageenan was incorporated into the gummy candy at various concentrations (0%, 1%, 3%, and 5% for CO, T1, T2, and T3, respectively) and physicochemical properties, total plate count, and product acceptability were investigated. An increase in addition of κ-car resulted in an increment in most of the physicochemical properties, i.e., carbohydrate content (42.66 ± .98 - 44.93 ± .74), and crude fiber with values 00.19 ± .07 to 00.40 ± .11. Further, a decreasing value for crude protein (16.07 ± .74 - 15.48 ± .24) and fat content (00.32 ± .14 - 00.02 ± .03) was noted, but no significant difference was found on crude protein. Gel strength was affected by the increasing addition of κ-car. Values recorded were 1029.67 ± 62.74, 735.00 ± 31.19, 1369.33 ± 54.00, and 1278.00 ± 93.54 for CO, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. Total plate count rise as the percentage of κ-car increased from <250 EAPC/g to 4.66 x 104 cfu/g, but results were within the recommended TPC values by FDA for confectionery products. Moreover, acceptability tests revealed that all formulations were generally accepted, with “Like Moderately” as the lowest rating and the highest rating was “Like Very Much.”

The Revival of the Bagobo-Klata’s Culture KID MAR V. NARIDO

https://orcid.org./0000-0003-2169-0816 knarido@umindanao.edu.ph The University of Mindanao Philippines Culture is a person’s identity. It provides the basic foundation of one’s being. The study delved into the different initiated activities, challenges and lesson learned by the Bagobo-Klata in reviving their culture.

The study employed in-depth interview (IDI) and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to the twelve Bagobo-Klata tribesmen as the main participants of the study. The study made used of a semi-structured interview guide.

In reviving the vanishing Bagobo-Klata cultural traditions and practices, the tribe has started to organize revival activities, namely revitalization of diminishing ritual practices, reorganization of the socio-political structure, establishment of the tribal center, transmission of cultural knowledge to younger generations, and implementation of livelihood programs for sustainable development. Meanwhile, the tribe’s cultural revival has encountered several challenges. These include difficulty in reviving ritual practices, struggle in reorganizing the socio-political structure of the tribe and establishing tribal center, the resistance of the younger generation towards the transmission of cultural knowledge, and the financial instability in sustaining the livelihood programs for the tribe. However, with the community’s resilience, doggedness, strong sense of purpose and will, the tribe triumphed against these trials. In the end, the Bagobo-Klata learned to take pride of their identity and inculcate this in their hearts. The tribe must constantly practice their unique cultural identity, traditions, and practices. They are brought up in the same culture, they have lived with it all their lives, and these cultures are what define them. These cultural revival activities depend on the active participation of all sectors in the community.

The Death of Hiligaynon Terminologies in Coastal Community in Northern Iloilo, Philippines BON ERIC A. BESONIA

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8709-8359 bonericarceobesonia@gmail.com Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College Philippines Terminologies are part and parcel of any languages. Its extinction affects the linguistic system and mechanism as well as the cultural identity it bears. This phenomenological study aimed to identify the unused Hiligaynon terminologies and its reasons of death in the coastal communities.

Thirty participants participated in the interview which was triangulated using observation and focus group discussion. Results revealed 104 unused Hiligaynon terminologies. Participants cited three major reasons of the death of those terminologies namely lack of intergenerational transmission, exposure to social media, and absence of those terminologies in daily conversation. This means that Hiligaynon faces intuitively linguistic loss over the years and its local terminologies are started to be in danger and eventually, will extinct in the future. Thus, it is recommended that concerned government agencies should strengthen the implementation of laws and policies pertaining to the protection and preservation of Hiligaynon terminologies and other languages in the country which will be cascaded to its counterpart in local communities.

Filipino Visual Artists in the State of Qatar face challenging experiences. Knowing that they significantly have fewer than other professions, letting their experiences known is crucial. The researchers utilized a qualitative phenomenological design to understand the lived experiences of Filipino Visual Artists in Qatar and find the difficulties and issues that they faced relative to the central question: “What are the challenges commonly encountered by Filipino visual artists in Qatar?” Working under an advanced, insightful, yet conservative and restrictive environment; working based on experience and capabilities; receiving various choices by social connections; working under a company or freelance; providing more options; exploring different means of coping avenues; and being inspired by people, infrastructure, and advanced technologies are the challenges and opportunities commonly encountered by Filipino visual artists in Qatar. Qatar’s cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds have created difficulties in the work of Filipino artists. Despite the setbacks, Filipino Visual Artists have learned to live and adapt to the country’s work environment. This paper recommends having a group of Filipino Visual Artist respondents from other countries share their experiences and help further differentiate their lived experiences in other lands to the Philippines.

The current education system of the Philippines has implemented a K-12 program that allows students to choose an academic strand that correlates with their desired career choice, seeking to aid students in their higher education. However, this is not always the case as the selected strand does not always align with their college course. This qualitative paper uses a phenomenological research design to answer the question “How do Filipino college students adapt to the challenges of strand mismatch?” to raise awareness about the lived experiences of these college students. The data set was gathered through semi-structured interviews and was analyzed using inductive reasoning in theme development. The researchers were able to extract four themes from the verbal musings of the participants: Crucial Circumstances, Receptive Response, Individual Impact, and Acquired Abilities. There is no straightforward way of adjusting to the difficulties of the college transition from strand mismatch. The study shows that college students have opportunities for personal growth and development after facing hardships with strand mismatch. The researchers recommend looking towards strand mismatched college students who took non-academic strands. Recommended is a mixed method design to analyze further the impact of strand mismatch on outcome-based education (OBE).

The Philippines is one of the significant exporters of human resources. Due to a lack of opportunities and resources, a substantial number of students fail to finish their studies. Undergraduate Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) choose to pursue their ambitions in another country. Phenomenological approach is a type of qualitative research that is utilized to understand the lived experiences of Undergraduate Overseas Filipino Workers who have worked in the State of Qatar. Through a twenty-five-question interview, the respondents were asked the central question “What are the motivations and setbacks of the undergraduate Overseas Filipino Workers?” The data acquired from the interview underwent analysis through an inductive approach in the theme exhaustion.

Based on the verbal musings of the participants and the clustering of their responses, four themes were created.

One of the major themes is Ensuring Finances, which includes the subthemes enduring difficulties and establishing stability. Another major theme is Appreciating Relationships which contains the subthemes Acknowledging support and Fulfilling priorities. As setbacks were also experienced by the participants, Surpassing Setbacks is one of the major themes while its subthemes are Adjusting strategies and Facing discrimination. The last major theme is Achieving Ambitions which includes Promising objectives and Paving opportunities. Undergraduate OFWs hope to achieve stable finances, fulfill relational obligations, and surpass setbacks.

As the Philippine School Doha alumni embark on another chapter of life, pursuing tertiary education abroad, challenges and experiences are encountered posing an opportunity to rebuild their identity. This qualitative paper follows the phenomenological research design to understand the lived experiences and identity development of PSD alumni studying abroad. The necessary data was gathered from a semi-structured interview revolving around the central question of the study “How do PSD graduates manage their education embracing an international setup?” Four themes were derived and classified to construct the simulacrum. It was discovered that internal and external factors, specifically homesickness, culture, accent, and language barriers, affected one’s ability to adapt to the international setting. The participants emphasized that the workload experienced in the chosen country is more practical and directed on their selected course. Hence, students mostly initiate interaction among peers and professors with ease. Obstacles were encountered due to unfamiliarity with their new reality of studying abroad. Overall, their experience has affected their lifestyle, mental and emotional health, learning outcomes, and relations. This paper suggests tackling a larger population of participants from different fields of college courses to refine the accuracy of the data gathered. Also, further investigate the other aspects that affect the process of acculturating and lifestyles practiced.

The increasing cases of CoronaVirus (COVID-19) around the world have hugely affected the lives of families, workers, communities, and the government. The responsibility that frontliners hold during global pandemic is noble and worth recognition. Despite being put under immense pressure, frontliners still carry a sense of duty to help and protect people. This research aimed to understand the lived experiences of frontliners in Qatar. It also explored their coping mechanisms dealing with stress caused by their jobs. This study utilized qualitative phenomenological research to deal with the common challenges dealt by frontliners. The data were gathered through a semi- structured interview with frontline workers who have been working in Qatar. The result shows that three key themes emerged in this study, which are Work Constraints, Work Impact, and Coping Strategies.

Frontliners experienced work constraints in their work field such as physical discomfort, emotional distress, and mental restraints. The work constraints mentioned have affected the frontline workers’ performance efficiency, individual being, and productivity enhancement. As a result, frontliners developed their own coping strategies grouped as control management, adjustment measures, and prevention strategies. Frontliners put their own lives at risk since they must sacrifice a lot of their time for themselves, their families, and other people. It is evident that frontliners work under a lot of stress and pressure, however it is fulfilling for them to be able to help the community.

https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1952-371X starzy19@gmail.com University of Cebu – Lapulapu and Mandaue Campus, Philippines The web-based student evaluation system is a system that aims to solve the existing problems in using prospectus and evaluation of students. At the same time, it also assists the problems of the students during enrollment in the University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue, Philippines specifically viewing prospectus online, generating student reports for easy assessment, allowing students to view subjects (suggested, behind, failed, pre-requisite, co-requisite, and equivalence), allowing students to request subjects during enrollment, deans uploading new curriculum, teachers entering student grades, and students downloading a copy of their prospectus. The functionalities of the system are available through the web.

The researchers evaluate using an agile method that identifies the existing problems encountered by the users through online surveys and interviews. According to the users, they have problems when it comes to the manual use of the prospectus and evaluation of students. The proposed system helps the students, teachers, Electronic Data Processing (EDP) Department, and college deans to make it easier, faster, and immediate processing during enrollment. It will also lessen the hours allocated for that specific action of the user. Therefore, this study is to create a system that provides and ensures standard procedures, such as document storage, retrieval, and organization, as well as a more effective, simple, and less timeconsuming way of creating and revising documents.

Academic, Personal, and Administrative Support in an Online Learning of State Universities and Colleges MARIA WENDY M. SOLOMO

https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5147-8870 wendysolomo08@gmail.com Partido State University Philippines The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted educational institutions to shift from traditional to online learning platforms which bring new challenges to learners. This study attempts to examine the learning barriers of “first-time online learners” and the extent of academic, administrative and personal support to learners provided by selected state universities and colleges (SUCs) in Camarines Sur, Philippines. Descriptive analysis was employed to describe the learner support system of various SUCs. There were 285 students and four key informants who participated in the study. Emotional and mental distress, poor/intermittent internet connection and financial difficulties are the main barriers to learning and accomplishing educational goals. Students’ emotional and mental distress could be attributed to numerous obstacles that they experience such as lack of social interaction, inconsiderate and hard-to-reach teachers, family concerns and poor time management. The learner support system is implemented by various institutions to overcome these challenges and attain learning success. Based on the respondents’ assessment, the academic, administrative and personal support services provided by SUCs are implemented very extensively. However, not all SUCs assess the learner’s willingness and readiness for online learning, provide financial aid, and offer tutorial or study centers. Strengthening student agency and establishing more effective and student-friendly web portals could further improve the learner support system.

Electronic Information Resources and Faculty’s Productivity in Selected HEIs in Surigao City, Philippines MARK RONAR G. GALAGALA

https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8657-1813 markgalz52@gmail.com Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College Philippines Electronic information resources have been the most widely used information sources in today’s information environment and these can be used to support faculty members’ academic productivity. This study was pursued to determine the extent of utilization and perceived usability of electronic information resources in relation to the faculty members’ academic productivity in the education and social sciences programs in four higher education institutions in Surigao City, Philippines. Descriptive-correlational research design was used in the study to determine the participants’ electronic information resources used and faculty members’ academic productivity. A total of 90 faculty members participated in the study. The instrument used in the study was a researcher-made questionnaire which was found to have content validity and whose items are internally consistent. Findings show that faculty members have high electronic resources utilization and the usability factors of electronic resources were rated as high. The faculty members’ classroom instruction was significantly associated with electronic information resources utilization and its usability. No significant relationship was found between electronic information resources utilization and its usability and the faculty members’ research productivity. Since the electronic information resources offer more updated information, the faculty members can use these resources to support their instructional needs. Thus, there is a need for librarians to continue to invest in electronic information resources and conduct interventions on the use of such resources to support research.

Long Distance Relationship (LDR) describes the physical geography of the partners and has been a typical occurrence in today’s world. The study emphasizes that being separated, especially right after marriage, will either make or break the established bond between spouses due to the distance serving as an obstacle in their must-be adjustment period. A phenomenological research was utilized in this qualitative study to understand the everyday difficulties faced by newly-wed couples who are currently in a long-distance relationship, relative to the central question: “How do newly-wed couples handle their relationship after living separately brought about by working abroad of a partner?”. Data were gathered using a twenty-five semi-structured interview and were analyzed using an inductive approach for thematization. Findings have shown the common difficulties such as emotional loneliness, misunderstandings, and lack of physical presence, lack of trust, and infidelity are faced by the interviewed spouses. Long-distance couples make not break their relationship by facing everyday difficulties together through marital compromise, personal development, communicative atonement, and digital connectivity. The study recommends to not engage in a long-distance relationship in the early stages of marriages. Moreover, to fill in the literature gap, this study recommends a better understanding of perspectives by interviewing both spouses and increasing the number of respondents with varying sexualities and nationalities.

Conflicts arise from contrasting perspectives. Being raised in a different culture is no exception. Two ideologies may fall out from each other, thus causing disagreements. Even after being married, such ambivalence may still occur. However, disputes must not remain untouched; instead, coping mechanisms should emerge from such situations. This study applied a qualitative approach and made use of the phenomenological research design to unravel the discrete coping mechanisms of interracial couples, relative to the central question: “How do interracial couples adapt to their cultural differences?” The data gathering instrument was a twenty-five semi-structured interview, analyzed using an inductive approach to develop themes. Only seven participants cooperated in the making of this study. The findings of the study revealed that interracial couples adapt to their cultural difference by using the adapting culture, strengthening relationships, resolving conflict, and understanding family as coping mechanisms. Based on the findings, conclusions such as acculturation and firsthand experiences help in adapting to partner’s culture, cooperation, nonchalance, and love helps prevent the relationship of the couple from deteriorating, compromising for love has helped resolve encountered conflicts, and familial love triumphs through assistance towards the couple. A scarcity of related studies was noted. Thus, it is recommended to conduct future studies regarding interracial couples while considering different variables such as modern society towards interracial relationships.

Qatar is a melting pot of cultures. Qatar’s welcoming approach has led more and more expatriates over the years—including single Filipinos who seek better opportunities and stability for themselves and their families.

This research study endeavors to understand Single Overseas Filipino workers’ lived experiences, analyzing their struggles and challenges in Qatar. This qualitative research utilized a phenomenological research design exploring and acknowledging single Filipino breadwinners’ experiences in Qatar. It corresponds to the central question: “How does the reality of being a single overseas Filipino worker in Qatar, providing for their families back home in the Philippines, affect their current state?” The data set was gathered in the form of an interview and was analyzed through a dendrogram. Based on the responses of the purposely-chosen participants, four themes were created. These are (1) Personal Circumstances, (2) Familial Facet, (3) Social Influences, and (4) Financial Foes. The inspiring stories of the single OFWs who served as the family’s breadwinners serve as an eye-opener to the struggles, opportunities, and strategies they employ to make sense of the journey they are taking. These will also serve as footnotes to aspiring Filipino expatriates who put families at the center of their lives. Furthermore, future researchers may focus on various aspects and factors beyond this research.

A child’s growth and development correspond with the guidance of the adults. Oftentimes, it is not only the parents but also the grandparents who take on this responsibility in Filipino households. In this regard, this paper discusses the lived experiences of Filipino children in the Philippines concerning their adaptation and struggles as they live under their grandparents’ care. This qualitative study utilized the phenomenological approach to fully understand the lived experiences and perceptions of the Filipino children relative to the central question of “What are the common traits of Filipino children raised by grandparents situated in the Philippines?” The necessary set of data was obtained in a 40 three semi-structured interview and formulated themes from the participants’ responses. Findings have shown the developmental stages and learnings of the Filipino grandchildren. It is composed of four major themes namely: Deepening Relations, Challenging Ordeals, Advancing Stages, and Enlightening Guidance. The rising number of grandparent care promulgates its distinct features, and this has thus, led to the significance of the familial tradition of the Filipinos. It is recommended that future researchers further expand and diversify the selection of participants to collect an all-inclusive verbalization of their lived experiences and to conduct an analysis on how the pandemic (COVID-19) impacts the Filipino grandchildren-grandparents family relations.

Middle children are often perceived to face hardships that directly affect their upbringing. They are known to be excluded frequently or even neglected by their own family. This phenomenon is known as middle child syndrome. This study focuses on an in-depth analysis of middle children’s experiences to further understand the factors that majorly contribute to their identity formation. This qualitative paper utilized a phenomenological design to understand the participant’s unique experiences. The participants were all senior high school students from Qatar. Data were gathered through a semi-structured interview which were then used to create four major themes. These themes and their corresponding subthemes were assembled to create the study’s simulacrum and the foundation of this research. The aim of the study is to understand the middle children’s identity formation pertaining to the central question: “What are the common life challenges experienced by a middle child?” This study shows that there are different traits middle children have developed which are expressed in the themes: maturity, responsibility, and affinity. The research concluded, from the participants’ shared experiences, that middle children’s identity formation is directly correlated to how their family treats them.

A new profound virus, COVID-19, spread all over the world including Qatar, resulting in the deployment of different frontliners to battle this pandemic. While there have been many studies highlighting the struggles of the main workers behind the crisis, the difficulties of their children are left unsung. Through a qualitative approach adapting the IMRAD format and phenomenologically designed, the study examined the unravelled lived experiences of overseas Filipino students with frontliner parents. Data gathering was done through structured interviews and the data was later analyzed using inductive reasoning for thematizing. Based on the participants’ verbal musings of their lived experiences, three themes were constructed: (1) Academic Relation, including their scholastic adjustments; (2) Societal Association, highlighting their social struggles; (3) and Psychological Comprehension that relates them into the reality of their situation. The phenomenological study shows that overseas Filipino students make critical decisions suited to the situation of their frontliner parents.

It demonstrates that because of the demanding job of their parents, many aspects of these children’s lives are greatly affected. Acknowledgment of these children’s experiences means understanding how having frontliner parents with shifted priorities can also integrate them better into society, more independently, especially in their academic, social, and psychological aspects.

Sense of Coherence, Self-Compassion, and Mental Well-being of Senior High School Students: An Explanatory-Sequential Inquiry CHRIS JOHN S. BEDORIA

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8497-7032 csbedoria@up.edu.ph University of Negros Occidental - Recoletos University of the Philippines – Diliman Philippines The famous psychologist Erik Erikson regarded adolescence as the most critical stage of development. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need to look into the intrapersonal dynamics of adolescents’ mental health reflected through their sense of coherence, self-compassion, and mental well-being. Through an explanatory-sequential mixed-method inquiry design, the participants’ (n=349) degree of sense of coherence, self-compassion, and mental well-being were explored and deepened using three standardized questionnaires in the quantitative and a semi-structured interview guide in the qualitative phase. Statistical and thematic analyses revealed that the participant’s ability to create a systematic approach in dealing with the stressors is instrumental in showing care and concern towards themselves. Self-compassionate individuals are more adaptive to stress and better cope with problems in the immediate environment. The participants who reported high inclinations in showing care and concern towards themselves are less likely to experience or endure chronic mental health problems. They can control internal thought and emotional processes, while those with a low overall sense of mental well-being signal the need to address inner self-defeating thoughts. The paper proposes and introduces intrapersonal counseling as a new counseling approach that mental health professionals, particularly guidance counselors, can use to assist adolescents in achieving sound mental health.

Relationship of BS Economics Students’ Internet Connectivity to their Socio-Economic Characteristics and Academic Performance during the COVID-19 Pandemic SHIELA B. DESUYO

https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1463-3442 sbdesuyo@bicol-u.edu.ph Bicol University Philippines The whole academic community was challenged to shift the delivery of instruction from face-to-face to an online education modality due to the CoVid-19 pandemic. One of its critical areas of concern is poor internet connectivity. Given the said context, this study has investigated the socio-economic characteristics, internet connectivity, and academic performance of the 181 randomly selected students of the BS Economics enrolled in the Second Semester 2020-2021. A survey instrument was conducted among the students, and the students performed a speed test using the Google platform before and after the examinations. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test of association, and point biserial correlation were used in this study to analyze the data. The results revealed that many students belong to lowincome families. Numerous students have experienced the slow speed of internet connection (70%) and low latency (72%) during their online learning classes. An average of four family members of the students were using the internet simultaneously. Many of them used smartphones for their online classes.

However, despite the many challenges in online learning, most of the students have excellent and very satisfactory results in their summative examinations in various periods within the semester. The socioeconomic characteristics of the students have a weak association with internet connectivity in terms of the monthly income and educational attainment of the father and mother. At the same time, the evidence shows that internet connectivity has no association with academic performance.

Farming Profile and Damages Caused by Super Typhoon “Rolly” in Selected Coastal Areas in Sorsogon City, Philippines ANA MAY D. MIRANDA https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8880-6380 amdmiranda@sorsu.edu.ph Sorsogon State University Philippines The impact of a typhoon disasters depends on the intensity and strengths of the typhoon which can be linked with the precautionary measures and knowledge of residents. This descriptive-correlational research design gathered the data on the farming profile and damages caused by super typhoon Rolly (international name: Goni) in the selected coastal areas in Sorsogon City, Philippines through surveys, field visits, and unstructured interviews. Out of the purposively chosen 1000 respondents, 834 of them reported damages in their housing.

Most of the farmer respondents have more than 20 years of engagement in the monocropping system, tilling below the one-hectare size of land near their residency as a tenant. Moreover, the majority of the farmers were newly engaged (5years) in managing piggery, ruminants, and poultry in their backyard. The multiple regression reveals that among the independent variables considered, the barangay location (=-9.866), water resources (=5.197), households who experienced flooding (=6.067), and household head age (=0.135) were statistically significant predictors of typhoon damages. Moreover, the type of cropping system (=-6.197) and education attainment of the farmers (=18.279) were statistically significant predictors of typhoon damages in crop production. The Sorsoganons are generally resilient able to move forward despite all the challenges and difficulties brought by the typhoon. The provision of the relocation sites, advice, and monitoring of LGUs are important precautionary measures in reducing the impact of the typhoon along with coastal areas.

However, this will be the first in education using the 13 factors of QWL of the 21stcentury with Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods as research design. The findings hope to contribute to the welfare and development of state university faculty in the Philippines and will try to fill the gap and validate the existing data on Quality of Work-Life, commitment, and performance.

There is a sample of 215 respondents and 20 participants. Numerical data were treated with mean and Pearson’s r while thematization is used to analyze qualitative data. Rewards and recognition have been commendable. However, sustainable safety and health program is aspired. People feel empowered but the number of teaching loads may be revisited and the incentivization of those with the additional designation. There is found influence on Quality of Work-life to Commitment.

QWL is considered multi-faceted, and evidently, many of the elements do not directly influence performance, thus, employees’ behavioral components might inspire more rather than the QWL socio-economic components. Using mixed methods designs resulted in analyzing and enriching both data sets critically and increasing trustworthiness which strengthens the empirical findings.

Foreign Language Anxiety Experiences of Pre-Service EFL Teachers in a State University in the Philippines GIANINNA ELAINE M. LABICANE

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8514-5342 gianinnalabicane@gmail.com Romblon State University Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) is defined as negative emotional reactions associated with learning a foreign language (Horwitz, Horwitz & Cope, 1986) which may be experienced across all four macro-skills. In preparation for their teaching career, pre-service EFL teachers may experience anxiety with having to communicate in English with superiors, peers, and students which may also be aggravated by the sudden drastic transformation of the pedagogical landscape. Therefore, this descriptive study aimed to explore the anxiety experienced by forty-five (45) 4th year Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English students in Romblon State University, Philippines. A survey questionnaire was used for participants to rate their FLA in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in English. Results revealed that participants experience high anxiety across all four macro-skills, particularly feeling concerned about having limited vocabulary, incorrect pronunciation, and grammatical errors. Given the new learning setup, participants may not be receiving adequate practice on certain macro-skills as there are limited opportunities to receive immediate guidance and feedback from teachers. In response to these findings, it is recommended that teachers establish a learning environment that is free of negative criticism and judgment, improve students’ knowledge of grammatical rules and vocabulary, and to maintain open channels of communication for provision of immediate feedback.

https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3717-1471 mikechengrod1027@gmail.com Basilan State College Philippines Like any other higher learning institutions, tertiary education institutions in Basilan, Philippines are also confronted with challenges when it comes to quality assurance in tertiary education.

The study assessed the practices on Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) among Teacher Education Institutions in Basilan, Philippines. It employed a mixed methods design. Quantitative data were collected purposively from faculty members using an adapted questionnaire by Thalner (2005) and descriptive statistics were utilized, while qualitative data were collected from college deans, and program chairpersons and the Vice president for academic affairs from the four HEIs, utilizing FGD and KII. Results showed that CQI is evident but the need to strengthen the training and methods should not only be among department heads to strengthen the commitment as a shared culture. Commitment towards CQI regardless of departments and among stakeholders is evident to be a powerful tool given the training and other resources available, support mechanism for a continuous quality improvement must be guided by a framework best fit for academic institutions. However, the need to maintain and continuously improve the standards of education, review policies, improved facilities, support, among others, and a commitment to provide excellent customer service must be strengthened, and the commitment towards CQI in the core values of the academic institutions should be emphasized.

Probing the Communication Channels and Its Relationship to Organizational Trust in a State University ALAN P. TAGUIAM

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6907-5479 alanptaguiam@gmail.com Cagayan State University, Piat Campus Philippines University communication initiatives can help units share organizational vision and goals, inform stakeholders about current processes and operations, foster collegial discussion platforms, and foster interdisciplinary cooperation. This study examines the Cagayan State University system’s communication channels and trust. The researcher employed a quantitative design to collect data. It heavily relies on descriptive-correlational data analysis. As a result, the communication channels help create an organizational communication environment. They also create, issue, and develop these communication channels. The amount of employee trust in their managers and the organization’s upper echelon is predicted to be influenced by organizational communication.

A positive organizational communication climate also affects employee and administrator confidence in the institution. The designated authorities, administrative personnel, academic members, and university campuses all rate the pleasant communication environment and high organizational trust differently. The amount of organizational civic behavior displayed by instructors over the course of a school year has a direct relationship to the amount of dedication they have to their instruction.

http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3877-6261 jessamae.gastar@deped.gov.ph Caduha-an National High School-Luna Extension Philippines COVID-19 had posed problems in the educational sectors causing physical conduct of classes impossible.

In response, the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) provided Self-learning Modules (SLMs) accompanied by alternative learning modalities, such as modular and online learning, to ensure that learning continues amidst the pandemic. This study assessed the level of acquired basic science process skills (SPS) of observing, measuring, classifying, predicting, and communicating and integrated SPS of controlling variables, defining operationally, formulating a hypothesis, interpreting data, and experimenting of senior high school STEM students. Likewise, this study identified which among the two alternative learning modalities best contributes to the acquisition of SPS. Through descriptive and inferential analyses, results showed that both online and modular distance learning modality contribute to the acquisition of SPS, indicating the adherence to the mandate of the DepEd in delivering quality education in the new normal. However, the significantly lower level of acquired integrated SPS among learners taking modular learning modality suggests the need to integrate SPS in modules using supplementary instructional materials. Therefore, the delivery of quality education is not hampered by any pandemic as quality learning is strengthened and implemented in the succeeding school years no matter what modality best suits the learner.

Schools have been closed in many countries, but education continues virtually during the COVID -19 pandemic. In the Philippines, unprecedented measures were launched to stop the spread. It is in this light, the researchers assessed how Mandatory Home Education during the COVID-19 Lockdown has affected parents, and how parents manage to act as tutors to their children, specifically the level of competency of parents to teach their children. The study was conducted with 60 participants with most of the parent respondents chosen purposively. Using a standardized questionnaire, results showed that on the average, there are two children in the households under mandatory home schooling, and there is only one sibling among the family members who can extend their help or who can spend an hour a day in helping their younger siblings under the mandatory home schooling. Children under mandatory home schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic whose parents have only completed their secondary education were not competent enough to serve as tutors to their children who are subjected under the mandatory home schooling. Thus, the need for DepEd to allocate budget and conduct capacity building and Literacy Training for all parents whose educational attainment are low to be able to reinforce the learning of their children.
