THE ASIAN CONFERENCE in Education and Technology 2013 (ACET 2013) is a great opportunity for a diverse community of researchers, learners, and educators to come together to a place known for its cutting-edge technology and a very, very high regard for education – Seoul, South Korea. I congratulate the IAMURE (International Association of Multidisciplinary Research) for holding another momentous event in a city where these two passions converge turning the country into one of the economic centers in the world. I have high hopes that the research central to the theme of this year’s conference “Education and Technology: Towards Reengineering Education in Asia and Beyond the Borders” will greatly impact the field of education, pioneering new approaches to make learning and teaching better. Technology has considerable promise in that it can make learning solutions easier and more accessible to learners. But beyond this, I believe that the conference can be a venue where the participants can appreciate the intricacies and dynamics of education and technology from across the globe in order to properly address the challenges being met in learning and teaching. Our world is changing and this creates opportunities where researchers, learners, and educators alike can generate great innovations on education. I am sure that this year’s ACET will make it possible for such innovations to come into light. We at the Cagayan State University – Sanchez Mira campus recognize the enormous possibilities and responsibilities of research. We take great pride in the fact that, in the entire university system, the campus has made significant strides in instruction, research, and extension activities. We also take equal pride that we have membership in two prestigious international and national research organizations, the IAMURE and the PAIR (Philippine Association of Institutions for Research). As an academic institution, we value the intellectual development that comes with research and our membership will most certainly open vast opportunities for us. And so we take this opportunity to thank IAMURE and PAIR for giving this chance to the CSU-Sanchez Mira campus. We are inspired by the spirit of collaboration and innovation exemplified in your endeavors. May our partnership contribute further to the promotion and advancement of research for sustainable development. Congratulations!

MESSAGE
IT IS MY GREAT pleasure to greet the participants to the Asian Conference in Education and Technology (ACET 2013) at the Rennaissance Seoul Hotel, Seoul, South Korea on July 24 – 26, 2013 with the theme, “Education and Technology: Towards Reengineering Education in Asia and Beyond the Borders.” The world is moving very fast because of the rapid development in technology which facilitates the performance of the education endeavor. But let us not forget that the benefits of technology do not always correspond to what humanity desires. We need to be extra cautious so that we will not compromise the non-negotiable in our existence especially in the area of values formation of our constituents. It is our great responsibility to form them according to the spirit and purpose of the Creator. The research endeavor is considered a very useful tool in achieving this balance of technology as an aid to the task of educating the citizens of this world. We are appointed by God as stewards of creation and education is such that humanity would not bring us away from Him but closer to Him for us to know Him, to reverence Him, to love Him and to serve Him. Let me congratulate the organizers of this gathering led by the President, Dr. Genaro V. Japos and the rest of the officers. The efforts that you do for the success of this gathering may bear fruit not only to the participants but more so to their respective constituents. The Creator designs us to be always drawn to communion with each other so that the fruits of our gathering will reveal of who the Creator is in our lives. God bless everyone and more power!

MESSAGE OUR WORLD HAS been greatly reengineered by the emergence of science and technology. The revolution in information technologies also caused the transformation from agricultural and industrial economy to “knowledge- based economy” as coined by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (1996). Research is a vital knight that pushes the frontiers of knowledge thereby paving the way for improved human conditions. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) puts it, “basic scientific research, as well as applied research, is a significant expression of man’s dominion over creation. Science and technology are precious resources when placed at the service of man and promote his integral development for the benefit of all” (2293). Research-based technology makes it possible for education to go beyond borders. Education, which is aimed at developing critical and creative thinkers who will be agents of social transformation, goes beyond geographical borders as the cyber space is utilized to provide a virtual learning environment. Let us not forget, however, that education entails not only cognitive learning but also values development. Hence, virtual learning remains both a challenge and an upper hand in education. As elaborated by the CCC, “By themselves however they [science and technology] cannot disclose the meaning of existence and of human progress. Science and technology are ordered to man, from whom they take their origin and development; hence they find in the person and in his moral values both evidence of their purpose and awareness of their limits”(2293). As advocates of truth from faith, the Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC) Administrators, Faculty and Students carry the hopes that this conference will put great minds together. May this conference, inspired by a Korean Summer, serve as a venue for research leaders to critically participate in discussions that can profoundly shape the education of young minds. To one and all, welcome to the Asian Conference in Education and Technology 2013!

But before anything else allow us to extend our warmest greetings to the participants of the Asian Conference in Education and Technology (ACET) to be held at the Renaissance Seoul Hotel, Seoul, South Korea. The conference’ theme of “Education and Technology: Towards Reengineering Education in Asia and Beyond the Borders” clearly manifests the global demand for education and technology to combat poverty, transform society and respond to global effects of climate change . IAMURE’s role in bringing together researchers around the world have contributed a lot in pulsating research endeavours among institutions to contribute, collaborate and share with one another in bringing a new perspective to education and technology in Asia and the rest of the world. A forum like this provides an avenue for researchers around the world to share and inspire one another to work harder for the good of the humanity. As one of the newest members of IAMURE, we commit ourselves to the upholding of research integrity and spread among our constituents the value of research in the field of education and technology. As an academic institution our College had envisioned its role as the center of Excellence in Education through Green Technology Generation. We know that our role in this part of our country is very decisive and indispensible in order to push the local economy beyond subsistence. However, we should also bear in mind that research through education and technology should preserve and improve the quality of life of mankind and not to destroy the environment which sustain the lives within it. In behalf of the Guimaras State College, I deeply appreciate the herculean efforts of IAMURE for holding this event. Warmest congratulations and success!

MESSAGE THE FACE OF the academe of the 21st century is changing. No longer is it defined by its colossal facades or traditions as advancement in technology continue to lead towards a virtual world. Already, discussions aren’t limited to the four walls of a classroom or auditorium. Students and professors Skype; lectures are streamed; notes are posted on a group page; and assigned work don’t get submitted, they get uploaded. So much so that a grizzled yet still-youthful academician like myself cannot be blamed for asking ‘what else is in the appstore?’ One thing is certain; as the face of the academe changes, so must our ways also change. And as technology is evolving at break-neck speeds, so must we. It is quite an honor for the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) to be part of this conference of the IAMURE Multidisciplinary Research, because of the significance of the theme selected Education and Technology: Towards Reengineering Education in Asia and Beyond the Borders. Conferences like this represent the initiative towards change, towards evolution; and the theme chosen underscores what we need to do by indicating where we are at. The discipline of research, which lies at the very core of this conference, will get us where we need to be and help us determine where we need to go next. So, thank you and best wishes to all the researchers and presenters.

Dr. Chew Fong Peng
ORCID No. 0000-0002-2161-9510 fpchew@um.edu.my University of Malaya Malaysia University of Malaya (UM) since 2006, I teach Language Education Program, specifically in Malay language and literature at the master level. I also teach children’s literature and assessment courses at the undergraduate level. I have trained the inservice teachers and future teachers who are serving as educators to the nation. My contribution to the country is significant due to the status of the Malay language as an official language and medium of instruction in the education system in Malaysia. Furthermore, University of Malaya is the most famous and established university in Malaysia, include Faculty of Education where the admission criteria is very strict. Graduates from our university are highly demanded in the market including Early Childhood Education and Malay Language in Education program. In other words, I am hitting two birds in one stone as I am educating the excellent students to be excellent teachers. On the other hand, I have taught Chinese language as a foreign language at the University TechnologyMARA(UiTM) since 2010. Chinese language is a compulsory foreign language at UiTM. My students consist of Malay students. So I am doing language and culture interaction job with Malays, the main racial group in Malaysia because I master both languages well. The interaction of the two main races in Malaysia is prominently important to achieve dual understanding and nation-bonding. To make my work more effective, I have joined the Malaysia Association of Translation and Creative Writing (PERSPEKTIF) as secretary in 2010-2012 and am a committee member till now. Through this association, I am offered many chances to present papers on the Chinese scholar’s view of the Malay language and literature at many established national institute and association including Institute of Language & Literature (DBP) that promotes the development of the Malay Language and Literary Development in nation building, Malaysia Association of National Writers (PENA) and The Federation of National Writers Association of Malaysia (GAPENA) etc. The above associations have also invited me to recite a poem on some occasions, such as on Malaysia’ National Day, celebration of the Birthday of National Laureate, A. Samad Said, seminars and workshops. Besides that, I am doing some translation (Malay = Chinese language) and editing jobs. I am a member of the Malaysian National Institute of Translation (ITBM) which provides the infrastructure to create the translation industry in Malaysia, in line with national trends towards Vision 2020. I am requested to translate some creative writings from Malay language to Chinese such as the comedy “The Kampung Boy”, novel of Lotus Remain in the Pond, Anthology Poem of the Sinner, besides editing some creative writings. Since the Chinese language emerge as an important language in the world, the translation of the Malay creative writings has become very active. Chinese translated books will be marketed not only in Malaysia, but in China as well. In addition, I was appointed as one of the speakers at the Malay Language-Chinese Language Translation Workshop organized by ITBM in 2011. I have led five research projects: four of them were funded by UM and one was funded by MOSTI. From the research projects, I presented the papers in conferences and published them in journals. I also joined some Malaysian expo to display the products especially the output of MOSTI project entitled “Application and usage of ICT in Developing Malay Literature Materials and Modules for Early Childhood”. From the expo, I won two silver medals and three bronze medals. All these achievements and contributions go to UM and Malaysia, my beloved motherland. Up to date, I have published five books, 43 articles in journals (23 international journals and 20 national journals), 19 chapters in book, 31 articles in proceeding, 10 translated books including creative writings, 4 edited books and creative writings. I am article reviewer for some international journals, namely International Journal of English & Literature (IJEL), British Journal of Medicine and Medical Research, British Journal of Education, Society and Behavioral Science (BJESBS), International Journal of Psychology and Counselling (IJPC), Educational Research and Reviews (ERR) and African Journal of Pharmacy and Pharma-

cology (AJPP). My name was listed in Who’s Who In the World 2011, Who’s Who In the World 2012 and Who’s Who In Asia 2012 published by Marquis Who’s Who Publications, USA. I won the Best Paper of the Session Award at the 2nd International Conference in Languages, Literature and Linguistics (ICLLL 2012), organized by the Institute for Economic Development Research Cenre (IEDRC). The most important contribution of mine to the world scientific community is having appointed as a Visiting Professor at Peking University in 2012. Peking University ranked 57 in the world according to THES 2012. They offered me the post when I spent my sabbatical leave from 1 October, 2011 to 30 June, 2012. I taught the Malay language to undergraduate students and Malaysia Study for postgraduate students. They also recruited me as the panel member in selecting the postgraduate students’ intake for Malay language program. At the same time, I did my research topic on “Teaching and Learning Foreign Languages at Beijing, China” that focused on English and Malay Languages. The outcomes of the research were “English Language Acquisition among Non-Native Speakers” published in Advances in Environment, Computational Chemistry & Biosciece: Proceeding of the 3rd International Conference on Arts and Culture (ICAC ’12) and “Language Attitude of University Students in China.” I am going to present at the 3rd International Conference on Languages, Literature and Linguistics (ICLLL 2013) at Sydney, Australia. On the other hand, in 20…..Beijing Foreign Studies University has also invited me to be a speaker to talk on the topic of “Malaysian Education System” and “Malay-Chinese Language Translation in Malaysia”. All these invitations, are honor and recognition of my knowledge and expertise in my area of expertise. I appreciate that I am highly recognized by the famous and established oversea universities. I like to convey my thoughts through writing. As a primary and secondary student, I scored well in language composition. This was due to my reading habit that I inherited from my father. As a secondary school teacher, he taught me to revise my studies every night. He also bought Chinese and Malay newspaper so that I may improve my language proficiency. When I pursued Malay Study program at the National University of Malaysia (UKM), the tradition of UKM is to train the students in academic writing properly and systematically. I am grateful that I can complete all my studies at UKM; from there, I learned a lot about the discipline of writing good articles, especially the guidance from an excellent lecturer from Faculty of Education, Associate Professor Adnan Kamis. I started to write papers in conferences, articles in the press and magazines under his mentorship and guidance when I started to teach in secondary school in 1998. However I like to upgrade myself and did not remain in school; I did not have the opportunities to do research or get articles published in international journals since the school system only demand teachers to focus on teaching. Therefore, I started to apply to become a lecturer at the public universities. After failing 15 times in my application, in 2006, I was offered a lecturer post at the faculty of Education, University of Malaya (UM). Since UM is the top university in Malaysia and a leader in research and innovation at the higher education level, I learned a lot of the research methods, scientific articles writing and data. I started to learn to lead the small research projects sponsored by the university and major research projects sponsored by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). I am a research member of Long-term Research Grant Scheme (LRGS) entitled “AAA”, led by distinguished Prof. Dr. Shamsul Amri, UKM. The university offers me an environment that helped me grow as a researcher and academician and was able to find the job satisfaction; I enjoy teaching, doing research and writing As a member at UM, I have to work hard to achieve the annual key performance indicator (KPI), and the criteria in the KPI are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve. The competitive environment challenges me to work harder for better quality research and writing better articles in international journals. I am determined to publish at least three articles in journals per year, one or two in international journals and one in a national journal besides writing books and chapters in books. I am still learning to write more scientific articles because the high quality journals are very demanding and competitive; the ground is wide open, and I am an infant who has a lot to learn in this era of globalization. UM is a good learning place for me to develop my knowledge and experiences in terms of research and innovation. I am grateful that I have a supportive family members who always give me moral support especially my father although he passed away in 2000. He is the one who always reminded me to further my studies and always work hard to gain the knowledge; he loved to study but have to quit due to financial and eye problems. So I am determined to fulfill his dream and made him feel proud that one of his children emerges as a bright star in the family. Secondly, Associate Professor Nan Kamis was my main mentor who trained me in article writing and publishing at the beginning stage; that was the tough time especially for a Chinese who major in Malay studies that is rarely found and it is hard to penetrate the hegemony of publishing in their press, magazines and journals. He always gave me courage and strength when my articles were being rejected. He would guide me to improve my writing and publications from time to time and urge me never to give up even though I am depressed. This later becomes the life philosophy that I embrace till now. All the obstacles and difficulties made me tougher and better to chase my dream.

I always believe on the law of harvest – we reap what we sow. If we plant corn, we cannot harvest wheat; if we play a tuned piano and press the B key, an E sound will not come out. Input equals output 100 percent of the time. We reap what we sow. My achievement now is the result of my efforts of many years, with the support of family members and friends. Everyone is born with his/her own value; just like a plant on this earth, no matter how small it is, it always has its own position. Everyone is born by his/her destiny; some people’s life is nothing but exciting, but some others are imposing. In my opinion, I was born to succeed. Who I am and what I become after I left the hospital nursery is a direct result of who I think I can become. Growing up in a typical Chinese family that concern more about sons rather than daughters, I learn to love myself, accept the strength and weaknesses of myself, learn new things every day, improve myself to be a better woman. I am passionate and enthusiastic in doing my work, when I decide or determine to do something, I will make it complete.It is determination that made me complete my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Malay Study within five (years’time) while I was also teaching and gave birth to two daughters. The above achievements put me as the first Chinese female who specializes in Malay Study in Malaysia in 2004. There is no other Chinese female who has completed her Ph.D in Malay Study in Malaysia until now. My area of study is national integration in literature, which is the theme of the symposium or seminar held every year during National Day for the Institute of Language & Literature (DBP), The Federation of National Writers Association of Malaysia (GAPENA), and the National Academy of Arts, Cultural and Heritage (ASWARA). They have invited me to present a paper or attend as a Chinese representative to exchange our views about national literature with other races. Strength of mine is my proficiency in the Chinese language that qualified me to teach Chinese Language as a Foreign Language at UiTM, appointed as a translator and editor by ITNM and Visiting professor at Peking University. Bilingual proficiency enables me to explore two different world views of nations, cultures and religions; and I found that my translation work brings the two worlds together to interact and understand each other in depth, this is a meaningful mission that I enjoy and will work on it more. I think it is possible that the Malay and Chinese world will remember me of my expertise and translation works. On the other hand, I am diversifying my research to Chinese education and other education issues. I start to write articles in English to get published in international journals. I have published 20 articles in English and I won The Best Paper of the Session Award in 2012 2nd International Conference in Languages, Literature and Linguistics (ICLLL 2012). Besides that, I am appointed as article reviewer by some international journals, chair some presentation sessions in international conferences and became the keynote speaker at World Scientific and Engineering Association (WSEA) Conference at China in 2009. My name later being listed in Who’s Who In the World 2011, Who’s Who In the World 2012 and Who’s Who In Asia 2012. Although my work is not good enough, I know there must be some parties who appreciate my works and remember me will give me recognition and honors. I wish I will do some cross-countries research or comparative study with oversea researchers to explore more issues on language and literature, and then get to known and remembered by others beyond my lifetime.

I also want to convey my gratitude to Prof. Tie Fatt Hee who keeps on urging me to write in ISI journals regardless how many times of the rejections. He asks me to be focused in work and not be distracted by unimportant things. He gives me courage to go on my journey with robust pace. With the support of them, I become more confident now.

OUTSTANDING WORLD RESEARCHER
RESEARCH AND REACH OUT Pedro B. Bernaldez
ORCID No. 0000-0002-0562-6550 pedro_bernaldez@yahoo.com Dongguk University, Gyeongju South Korea As a researcher, my sphere of influence has been both the Philippines and Korea. Two countries I consider my homes per my educational attainment, career and profession and personal life. Since I consider research as the discovery of new knowledge and/or reconfiguration of knowledge, my contribution through my research works span these two countries and beyond. I have been a student and an educator in both countries; thus, my researches mostly focus on them. Nevertheless, the research areas I delve on in the two countries have been mostly the same, to wit: government studies, pedagogy, human security, business and economy, development studies, and a few more. Most recently, my researches are largely focused on local governance and policy network in the field of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction and management (CCA-DRRM) and other social issues and concerns. Being a Filipino-born academic, I have been studying the local governance of the Province of Albay, my place of origin, as a global exemplar in CCA-DRRM. Many countries have given attention to the CCA-DRRM programs of Albay and sent their scientific and public governance experts for training in the province. I have done field researches on the local governance policy network of Albay and published two books (with another one in the offing) with intentions of documenting the experiences of the province, publishing and disseminating the research results both locally and globally. Said books are now purchasable on line. I have also written excerpts from the books, in terms of short papers, which I have presented in a few international academic conferences in South Korea, held by academic organizations in the field of politics and public administration. They have been published in the conference proceedings and widely disseminated to the academic circles in South Korea. Researching is sharing; thus, I have been published by publishing outfits in Germany, South Korea and the Philippines for the purpose of reaching out to audiences in both academic and non-academic fields. I do not publish my researches for the money but simply readership. As a researcher, my intention is to discover knowledge for praxis; that is; the discovery of theoretical elements for further application in the practical field. Thus, my usual intention in doing research, any research project for that matter, is to come up with designs and models of theoretical and conceptual significance with applicability in the empirical field of human endeavors. Thus, most of my researches end with the design of a model on the particular issue areas and recommendation on its use or application in the practical milieu. My local governance models are based on the analysis of empirical variables using established theoretical principles and approaches in governance, validated in the given area of concern and projected for application to other locales with similar or dissimilar conditions. To the extent possible, I make implications of my researches from one country to the other for purposes of comparative international political management and public administration. Hence, I can say that the models contained in the research articles and books I have published have a certain level of validity and practicability. This is, I believe, is my significant contribution to the epistemic or scientific community. On a personal note, I cannot say that I am a self-made man; there have been various persons and entities that helped me hone my God-given talents to become the kind of researcher I am now. My paternal family is not “learned.” Only two of us siblings in a brood of nine children were able to acquire higher education. Thus, I have always made it a point that, since my siblings were not able to enjoy and acquire the level of education I had, I would earn higher education degrees for them, jesting aside. So, without modesty, I say that I attended and/or acquired three baccalaureates, four Master’s and three Doctor’s degrees… one for each of my eight siblings and two for me. It has been fun! My own family is multicultural since I married a Korean lady and we have a lone son. It has given me great inspiration to indulge in knowledge-searching since both my wife and son admire my research-addiction. Luckily, the “yangban” mentality (education-orientedness) of the Koreans runs in my family, too.

I like Korea and I love the Philippines; both have inspired me to be a lifetime academic adventure-seeker. The challenges the Philippines face are a great driver for me to research in pursuit of possible solutions to the problems of the nation. The successes of Korea in the field of national development inspire me to look for implications on the Philippines. What a great tandem of motivators! I am a God-loving person; religion has taught me ethics which I use in my research endeavors. Truth, service, and respect are spiritual virtues which I brought to my research work. God has a significant impact on my research career; there is spirituality in scientific research just as I believe that there is spirituality in animal care. What is the purpose of life? I believe… I live for others. Research is service; research is reaching out! God had a purpose in bringing me to this world, the Philippines and then Korea. But wherever I might have been born, out of brute luck, I believe I was born for others. And, that has been my destiny; a destiny which I did not choose but which I make happen. Since I was a child, I have been inquisitive and persistent to know things; and, after knowing, I passed the knowledge on to others and did not keep to myself. This, perhaps, is the reason why I became a teacher… a researcher-teacher. I searched for knowledge and reach out to pass on to my students. Much more, I help my students do research as I tell them: “The true measure of intelligence is not what you know but what you do when you don’t know.” Thus, I teach them the tools of research, to search for knowledge on their own. So, the great difference I might have done in this world is having lived a life of research and reaching out to others to become effective researchers, too. For I believe that a life without change can be boring as a lifeless painting. Life must be dynamic and such dynamism must be seen in changes…for the better and higher quality of life for all. Such quality of life must be at a level where every human being can say life is beautiful and it must be celebrated by knowing and discerning. Life can be poetry enlivened with science; where one cannot just be satisfied by faith in the mystery of life but must be able to explain and understand such mystery. And, this can only happen when one lives for others without neglecting himself for he must be one with the rest of humanity. Hence, my legacy can only be seen in the lives that my former students live and in the institutions that they build and manage. I want to be remembered as the teacher-researcher who made learning an adventure and fun for students; one who did not impose his knowledge but shared it with an element of choice on the part of the learners. I must be remembered as the human person who believed in the beauty of knowledge discovery through one’s own efforts. I dream of being remembered as a creature of God whose outputs in life are the tiny bits of information I leave in my writings…which will form as dusts of my cocoon that will continue to shimmer even if I travel past the pillars of crystals and lights…beyond.

Asian Conference in Education and Technology (ACET 2013)
Aquinas University of Legazpi, Philippines and Kyung Hee University, South Korea are two institutions I call my Alma Mater. I have attended both institutions as a student and also worked as professor/administrator. Aquinas University honed my talents and molded my character as a Filipino and Catholic while Kyung Hee University made me a holistic person and a globalized man. While the former developed me into a person who is God-loving, country-respecting and family-caring, the latter widened my vista to search knowledge for the improvement of human security, international cooperation and global peace. Both institutions have been very generous to me since I attended my academic courses on scholarships and the pecuniary benefits of the jobs I performed were high by each country’s standards.

OUTSTANDING WORLD RESEARCHER
Dr. José Gerardo Martínez
ORCID No. 0000-0001-7163-8763 jose.martinez39@upr.edu University of Puerto Rico - Mayagüez Campus, Puerto Rico My career path, especially my research, has generated positive interest and has drawn greater attention to my country, Puerto Rico. Results have been used in the past for policymakers, educators, and teacher educators as they work to construct programs and policies for preparing and maintaining a high quality teaching force. Having a clearer understanding of how teachers perceive themselves and their work, within a national context, has helped the government reconsider the ways in which they prepare teachers. While universities continue to grapple with how best to prepare teachers who can meet the changing demographic and employment needs of the country, at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, we consistently work to review how best to prepare our teachers and attempt to align our program accordingly. Having a better understanding of the landscape of teacher identity has helped us to reconsider our own system of teacher preparation. Within the field of technology-based instructions, my recent studies have helped situate the work on teacher identity within a more globalized context. I always seek out socially appropriate and constructive strategies for challenging myself and my students to move beyond the fixed boundaries of our lives and to open our hearts and souls to diverse people, cultures, and ideas. I cherish the opportunity to continue to move beyond the rigid boundaries of my own upbringing and, most importantly, to help my students to do the same. I savor this opportunity to study systematically in a collaborative setting with diverse students, to develop a broader and more scholarly theoretical and historical base for my teaching and research, and to share my expertise and my own first-hand accounts of life in Puerto Rico with students and colleagues. Likewise, the results of my studies aim towards advances in business science and its resulting technologies. In the past two centuries, business science has been used mainly as a tool for economic expansion and military power for the wealthier segments of the human race. In the current century, the rate of change of natural and human conditions and issues can be expected to continue to accelerate. The world scientific community has an increasing obligation to become involved with policy-makers and the public in finding and implementing solutions or means of adaptation to issues that are both local and world-wide, such as reconciling the present competitive profit motive with the common good; providing for contributions from and benefits to marginalized elements of society and minority cultures; justifying current expenditures to prevent costs or damages to future generations; rewarding collective rather than individual efforts. The role of business science in society and governance has never been more important. Thus, I have helped develop leadership in others by serving as an example of how far you can go in education with dedication and hard work. But ultimately, I cherish the opportunity that I have had to share my experience and knowledge, as a published researcher, with decision-makers (i.e., the back bone of our nation, Puerto Rico) and members of the world scientific community. On a personal level, I find a confluence of factors to reflect on: 1) the role of my family to develop my faith, attitudes, personal values, and to learn from failures; 2) educational institutions that fine-tuned my research skills; and 3) employers that forged my work habits. The responsibility to remain as an outstanding published researcher is immense. Knowing the difficulties, I will discuss thirteen qualities which characterization and understanding are extremely helpful to comprehend my present status.
•
Diligence. Gathering the data for a research work is not an easy task. The researchers should work hard. You must be industrious and care for your work in a meticulous way.
Theme: Education and Technology: Towards Reengineering Education in Asia and Beyond the Borders | ISSN: 2094-9529 Asian Conference in Education and Technology (ACET 2013) | Seoul, South Korea
17
Futuristic. Think in advance. It is necessary that you have already in your mind the answers of the primary questions in conducting a research, namely: what to do, how to do, and where to conduct the research.
•
Consistency. You must concentrate. Do not deviate on the topic or issue that you have raised in the start of your study. Do not raise another topic or issue in the text of your work. It might cause some trouble and confusions. The things, acts, or statements that you use at the beginning should be compatible or in harmony with what has been previously done, expressed or agreed upon. They must have logical connections. You must have to be firmed.
•
Prudence. You must have to be habitually careful to avoid errors. Be cautious, and exercise sound judgment at all times. Do not allow your carelessness ruin or destroy your intense desire to finish your research work.
•
Broad - mindedness and Perseverance. There might be unexpected things, acts or statements that you may encounter along the way in the making of your research paper. Try to have the wide range or unusual width of mind to understand the situations that may occur. Be liberal in beliefs and opinion of other people. This will strengthen the content of your study.
•
Determined. To have our name printed on a research paper is a great reward to our hard work. Start doing your study with great intention of finishing it. Settle your mind and decide that you must have to reach the completion of your study.
•
Willingness. Have and keep the flame of your interest burning. Direct yourself to the right path. Never let some unexpected circumstances to change the course of your desire which is to finish you research work.
•
Resourcefulness. Have the ability to search useful facts that will substantiate the study. Search for fertile resources and have the pool of theories that is relevant to the study.
•
Patience. Loosen your belt. Hold your temper because you, your teacher or your adviser are unique individuals. You have different viewpoints in a certain situation but as a team you will have to conduct the research together. Be calm. The forbearance on the faults or infirmities of others is a virtue. Endure without complaint.
•
Passion and Endurance. Think that research work is easy. Be ready to handle difficult, unexpected situations along the way in the life time of the research study.
•
Responsible. Write with the capacity of perceiving what is right or wrong.
•
Honest. This is important aspect in doing a research. Unreliable results are a product of dishonesty.
•
Time Consciousness. Stick and strictly observe your schedule.
What is your purpose in life? That is a challenging question to ponder. As I reflect on my life purpose, I came to a conclusion that destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. I think my purpose in life is to be useful, responsible, honorable, and stand for something. Hurdles are those impediments which can be removed or overcome if only we make determined efforts. We should identify the hurdles without loss of time. We should not allow them to ruffle or discourage us. We should neither magnify nor minimize them. Thus, I want to be remembered as someone who became committed about everything he did; whether it was small or big. Also, I want to be remembered for being a kind, compassionate person, and for helping others. I am a firm believer that kindness conquers most. It can change lives, heal wounds, and most certainly help others. I want to be someone who is kind, compassionate, and help others, whether I am remembered for it or not. I want to help my family overcome challenges and obstacles, and help strangers pursue their passions. Finally, I want to be known as selfless, understanding, patient, loving, caring, and generous. If I obtain all of those characteristics before I die, I will be very satisfied with how I lived my life. All you leave behind after you die is your actions, and every action has a reaction that has the capability of making this world a better place.

Investigations on the Effects of IIRS in Promotion of Mathematics Learning and Attitude YUAN-HORNG LIN lyh@mail.ntcu.edu.tw National Taichung University of Education, Taichung City Taiwan, R.O.C. Day 1: July 24, 2013 • Time: 1:00 – 1:20 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) INTEGRATED INTERACTIVE RESPONSE SYSTEM (IIRS) was popular learning technology and it was widely used in the educational environments. The influence of IIRS on learning achievement and attitude was not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of IIRS on mathematics on sixth graders. The researcher adopted IIRS on the mathematics teaching and the domain was decimals. Methods of student problem chart (S-P chart) and ordering theory (OT) were used to reveal learning types and hierarchical structures of mathematical concepts. Quasi-experimental teaching experiment was conducted. The experiment class adopted IIRS by using RF clicker individually to overcome the insufficient computer equipment in the classroom. Peer cooperation and game-based learning were involved in the experiment class. The results showed IIRS significantly promoted better learning types. IIRS helped teachers understand misconceptions of students immediately. According to the interviews with students, most students also felt easy to operate RF clicker and hoped it can be used in other subjects. Compared with traditional teaching, students had higher interest and attention as to learning decimals. They also had positive attitudes on mathematics learning. The conclusion indicated IIRS had positive influences on mathematics teaching. Suggestions for further research and practical teaching were also discussed in the study. KEYWORDS: Mathematics education, learning technology, integrated interactive response system, student problem chart, ordering theory, quasi-experimental design, Taiwan, R.O.C.
Metacognitive Reading Strategies among TESL Students in the University of Malaya CHEW FONG PENG fpchew@um.edu.my University of Malaya, Malaysia Day 1: July 24, 2013 • Time: 1:21 – 1:40 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) IN USING METACOGNITIVE reading strategies, readers plan, arrange, and assess their own reading and learning processes. This study examined the level of reading strategy utilized by students when reading English academic text. The study also investigated if there were any significant differences between Malaysian and Chinese students in terms of metacognitive awareness and perceived use of metacognitive reading strategies. A total of 55 second year and third year TESL students (31 Malaysian and 24 China Chinese) in the University of Malaya (UM), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia completed a 30-item questionnaire adapted from Mokhtari and Sheorey’s (2002) Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS) questionnaire. The result indicated a high level of reading strategy using metacognitive reading strategies among all the students with the mean score higher than 3.0. Visualizing strategy was the most popular item. T-test result showed that there were significant differences in the use of the two categories of strategies, Global and Problem-Solving strategies. Malaysian students demonstrated higher level of using Global and Problem-Solving strategies compared with their China counterparts. University reading courses ought to also emphasize Global, Problem-Solving, and Support strategies. Lecturers should also emphasize reading. All parties need to play their role to achieve the students’ metacognition ability. KEYWORDS: Education, metacognitive reading strategy, TESL, Mokhtari and Sheorey’s (2002) Survey of Reading Strategies, descriptive design, Malaysia

There is no significant correlation on Physics performance and needs; Physics Performance and self-esteem whose Pearson r and significant values were – 0.115 and 0.178; -0.004 and 0.965 respectively, which were higher than the significant level of 0.05. There is significant correlation on needs and self-esteem of students who were enrolled during the SY 2007-2008 Negros Oriental State University- Guihulngan City, Philippines, Southeast Asia. KEYWORDS: Assessment, Self-Esteem Needs, Performance
Understanding Juvenile Fisheries in the Philippines using DNA Barcodes: The “Padas” and “Ipon” of Northern Luzon ROMEO C. CULASING romeoculasing@gmail.com Cagayan State University - Aparri, Cagayan, Philippines Day 1: July 24, 2013 • Time: 2:26 – 2:45 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) JUVENILE/FRY FISHERIES have been an important industry in the Philippines. Despite the benefits it can provide, the status of Philippine fisheries remains threatened due to lack of proper management. The “padas” and “ipon” are major fishery resources in high demand in Northern Luzon. However, they are believed to be composed of mainly juveniles of fish species whose actual identification is unclear. Accurate species identification of juvenile fish species, being an essential part of fisheries management, is difficult to achieve using meristic and morphological tools. In this study, DNA analyses of the Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in the mitochondrial DNA, a standard genetic marker used by the International Barcode of Life (IBOL) for vertebrate taxonomy, were conducted to accurately identify the species in “padas” (specifically the fermented “padas” bagoong) and the “ipon”. Genetic analyses revealed that the fish species used for “padas” bagoong belong to the genus Siganus particularly S. fuscescens and S. spinus. On the other hand, “ipon” is mainly composed of the Awaous ocillaris, or river goby. These results provide critical information on the nature of these two fisheries, raising awareness of what specific resources are being targeted by the said fisheries and evoking proper management efforts for the sustainability of the juvenile fisheries.

Terminalia catappa (Indian Almond) and Persea americana (Avocado) as Botanical Pesticides SOLITA EVANGELINE S. BAÑEZ solitabanez@yahoo.com University of Northern Philippines, Vigan City, Philippines Day 1: July 24, 2013 • Time: 2:46 – 3:05 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) THE RESEARCHER WAS interested in looking into the pesticidal properties of Indian Almond due to: a) patients hospitalized after eating the seeds; avocado was chosen to be studied for comparison and b) insecticides that come from plants are much cheaper, less toxic compared with the synthetic chemicals, and besides plant insecticides are safer in the environment. This experimental study determined the phytochemistry of Terminalia catappa and pesticidal testing of almond (Terminalia catappa) and avocado (Persea americana) leaves and seeds. Three phases were included: extraction, phytochemical screening and insecticidal testing on different insects. Mean, Standard Deviation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Results showed that the ethanol extract of the leaves of logo contain saponins, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, and sterols. The avocado seed is the most effective among the botanical pesticides followed by the commercial carbamate, avocado leaf, logo seeds and leaf. The Researcher recommends that studies should be conducted for the quantitative analyses of chemical constituents present in the logo leaf. The seeds of avocado can be organic insecticides and are recommended for farmers/researchers to use in their crops. Further studies should be conducted using other concentrations of the avocado pesticide against other insects.

Photovoltaic Activity of Anthocyanin-Sensitized Solar Cell; Anthocyanin extracted from Red Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) GEE MARIE S. BINAG geemariebinag@gmail.com Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology Bunawan, Agusan del Sur, Philippines Day 1: July 24, 2013 • Time: 3:06 – 3:25 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) THE QUEST TO find environmentally clean, sustainable, and renewable energy source has been an agendum of human race. This study aimed to determine the capability of anthocyanin in the red cabbage to convert light into electricity by fabricating anthocyaninsensitized solar cells. Anthocyanin extracted from the crude extract of red cabbage underwent transmittance and absorbance analysis using the UV-Vis Spectroscopy analysis to determine its light absorbing capability. Anthocaynin-sensitized solar cells are then fabricated with ZnO/Anthocaynin/Electrolyte configuration. Exposure to stray light from the fluorescent light and halogen lamp (560 nm, 100W) was carried out to elucidate and measure the electricity generated by the sensitized solar cell. Pythochemical analysis of the extract verified the presence of anthocyanin. A high absorption band in the wavelength range of 450-540 nm indicates the capability of anthocyanin to absorb light. The presence of electrolyte enhances the reactivity towards light as observed in the increase by the absorption of the samples. The current generated by the sensitized solar cell is mainly attributed to the presence of anthocyanin in the cell where the current generated with the two light sources is comparable.

Factor Analysis on the Organizational Climate Dimensions of De Cotiis: A Theory Formulation WILFREDO D. CARREON, JR. w_carreonjr81172@yahoo.com Jose Rizal Memorial State University, Dapitan City, Philippines Day 1: July 24, 2013 • Time: 3:56– 4:15 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) EDUCATION IS A continuous process. Thus, those who are in the field of educational management should not stop contributing to the existing body of knowledge. Exploration of past theories in educational management has been given less attention by educational managers; hence, this study aimed to factor analyze the organizational climate dimensions of De Cotiis, in Burton, et al. (1999) to include autonomy, cohesion, trust, pressure, support, recognition, fairness and innovation and come up with a corollary theory in assessing the climate of the organization. This study is descriptive utilizing the questionnaire of Halpin on the eight dimensions of organizational climate. Data were collected from the SUCs of Region IX, Mindanao, Philippines. The data showed that among the six SUCs included in the study, only SUC E has high level of ratings on the eight dimensions of organizational climate. The rest of the SUCs have low ratings. Through factor analysis BEHAVIOR-ORIENTED CLIMATE CLASSIFICATION MODEL was proposed as a way of describing the climate of the organization which may either be novel, coercive, appreciative and sovereign. It could be concluded that the organizational climate can be assessed or evaluated through the different behavioral dimensions; thus, SUCs evaluate their organizational climate utilizing the behavior-oriented climate classification model.

Clinical-Based Motivation: Its Relevance and Effects on Physics Performance of the Students of the College of Health Sciences MERCITA Q. QUEDDENG mamabongpro@yahoo.com University of Northern Philippines, Vigan City, Philippines Day 2: July 25, 2013 • Time: 1:00 – 1:20 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) CLINICAL-BASED MOTIVATION was found to be an effective way in teaching physics of the students of the College of health Sciences. In the pre-test, the experimental group and control group obtained a “Poor” level of performance, while on the posttest, the experimental group performed “very satisfactory” level of performance level. A high gain ratio was obtained by the experimental group which indicated that students exerted more effort to attain higher scores; thus, using clinical-based type has motivated the students to learn more in physics. The students in the experimental group were found strong in the topics Force, Torque and dynamics but weak in Measurement while in the control group they were found to be weak in all topics. No significant difference was found between the pretest mean scores of the two groups but with significant difference between the posttest scores of the experimental group. There exists a difference in the physics performance between the students who were exposed to clinical-based motivation than those in the traditional methods.

Technology-based Instructions: Continuous Inapplicability of Assessment Models in American Corporate Universities JOSÉ GERARDO M. MARTÍNEZ jose.martinez39@upr.edu University Of Puerto Rico - Mayagüez Campus, Puerto Rico Day 2: July 25, 2013 • Time: 1:21 – 1:40 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) AMERICAN CORPORATE UNIVERSITIES transformed the teaching methodology from traditional to technology-based instructions, but have failed the application of reliable assessment models. Current trends recognize commitment to education as an essential tool to reach sustained competitive advantages. Assessment information is necessary and valuable to improve the efficiency and productivity of companies, develop competitiveness, and ensure survival in the globalization era. The study examined training assessment models, knowledge level, and the effectiveness of various assessment models practiced by corporate universities found in United States territories. A descriptive study was conducted through a validated questionnaire by a panel of experts. Non-random, convenience sampling was used consisting of corporate universities, members of an internationally recognized trade and manufacturing organization. Data was collected, analyzed using cumulative frequency-percentage analysis, and tabulated using SPSS, version 20.0. Findings showed that 88.5% of the universities strongly agreed to the importance of assessment models; 82% did not apply any model to assess training results; and 99% did not have full knowledge of the assessment process. Only 37.5% used indirect techniques for assessment. The researcher concluded that corporate universities in United States territories should sparingly apply any assessment model to evaluate training results despite technology-based instructions.

This study was conducted to develop an Internet real-time service system based on extended cognitive diagnosis model. There are two purposes in this study. Firstly, the extended cognitive diagnosis model was polytomous S-P chart (student-problem chart ) and it was beyond the limitation of traditional scoring. The assessment data for polytomous S-P chart could be dichotomous or polytomous. This extended cognitive diagnosis model could greatly increase the utility in educational assessment and satisfy requirement for teachers. Second, the author accomplished the algorithm of polytomous S-P chart and established it in Internet real-time service system. The real-time service system could overcome the shortcomings of traditional cognitive diagnosis software; the real-time service system would improve the efficiency of cognitive diagnosis. Therefore, the author adopted opinion of cloud computing and the theoretical computing polytomous S-P chart was developed. The establishment of Internet real-time computing was also discussed. After the system was completed, the author invited school teachers to be the users of Internet real-time service system and their attitudes and thoughts were collected by questionnaire. The conclusion showed that most users had positive feedback about the internet real-time service system. Finally, some recommendations and suggestions for further research were discussed.

Perceived English Language Needs of Cebuano Speaking Freshmen and their Teachers: Implication to Language Teaching DON VICENTE C. REAL donvicentereal@gmail.com Negros Oriental State University, Philippines Day 2: July 25, 2013 • Time: 2:26 – 2:45 pm Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) THIS STUDY FOCUSED on investigating how students and teachers from a non-English speaking country like the Philippines perceive the need for learning the English language. Six hundred first year students of Negros Oriental State University, Bais Campuses 1 and 2 were assessed using a structured survey questionnaire to determine their English language needs in the four macro skills such as speaking, reading, listening, and writing as applied to their academic studies, future profession and social/private life. Eight teachers were considered in the study. Percentages and weighted means were utilized in data analysis. Findings revealed that most students identified reading as “most needed” in their academic studies while speaking was “most needed” in their future profession. All the other skills were considered only as “needed.” On the other hand, teachers considered all the four macro skills as “most needed” in all the three areas. It was only in reading that both teachers and students gave similar rating of “most needed” in academic studies. Thus, there exists disparity in the way learners and teachers view the importance of learning the language. To address this issue, there is a need to redesign existing syllabus by integrating learning tasks that address the students’ needs.

It is used to identify each student’s strengths, weaknesses, knowledge, and skills. Determining these permits the teacher to remediate and adjust the curriculum to meet each student’s unique needs. This study described the levels of performance of the Education froshies in the English diagnostic assessment conducted by the Guidance Office of La Salle University, Ozamiz City in June 2011. This served as basis for the creation of remediation program. The research design employed is descriptive. The respondents were 125 Education froshies who took the test. The passing percentage set is 60%. The statistical treatments used were frequency and percentage distributions. The study revealed that 68% of the respondents scored favorably in spelling. Almost half (49.6%) had a good grasp of what they read. However, almost all did poorly in vocabulary and English usage. It is a fact that English competency is an important element in the teacher’s success. Thus, there is a necessity to assist the students in improving their English performance through a remediation program. This remediation is to be conducted in the Advisory Class which is scheduled once-a-week throughout the semester.

The Carbon Footprints of the Students of Holy Name University, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines ERNESTO O. GOLOSINO ernestgolosino@hnu.edu.ph Holy Name University, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines Day 2: July 25, 2013 • Time: 3: 56 – 4:15 am Venue: Ruby Room (4/F) IN THE ERA of high mass consumption coupled with the proliferation of technological breakthrough, the world became smaller while man’s craving for personal gains exploded geometrically. The researcher conducted a survey of students’ lifestyle considering the model set by scholars as regards mother earth’s carrying capacity. This is done in order to create an intervention from the academic point of view in order to help preserve the environment. Library and Internet research are the primary techniques employed. In order to collect the needed information, questionnaire was utilized as the main instrument for data-gathering. This was supplemented by key informant interviews from the various stakeholders, namely; church, civil society, non-government organizations and environmentalists. The results revealed that while the school consistently advocated for environmental conservations, the students’ lifestyle did not only hasten the depletion of natural resources but also increased the explosion of carbon footprints. It is from this conjecture that the researcher concluded that environmental conservation is everybody’s affair. Hence, the school must integrate a specific environmental program in its system.

Internal control in such an organization should be done for increasing the performance. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of internal control in the Cooperative. It used census data with the population consisting of 103 Women Cooperatives in Madiun Regency East Java, in 2012. The performance of the women cooperative was assessed and the internal control variables were measured through their regulatory activities, including the organization field, business, capital, and financial supervisions. For the cooperative performance, it was measured based on the results of the 2012 performance appraisal concerning the financial and non-financial aspects. The performance appraisal includes the aspects of organization, management, governance, management, productivity, and the benefits and their impacts. By using linear regression analysis, it was found out that the internal control has a positive and significant effect on the performance. This indicates that the more the internal control is implemented, the better the cooperative performance. It is recommended that integrity and ethics should be emphasized. Internal control should be supported by good control environment, competency in cooperatives, assignment, and responsibility. Besides, good communication and information system, as well as control activities and monitoring, should be implemented by all members.
