Comparative Employment Applicability and Reflectivity of Profiled Culinary Booklets of Hospitality Management Students: An Input for Work eFolio
Get PDFWith the increasing technological advances, the area of employment has started going technology-based as well. There arises a need to prepare graduates for a digital experience. This study aimed to identify the level of employment applicability of course objectives of one skill course in Hospitality Management using the updated syllabus, and determine the level of its reflectivity from sampled and profiled culinary booklets submitted as archives of Hospitality Management Students in Pangasinan State University – Lingayen Campus. Using survey-questionnaire and documentary content analysis, the study found that the course objectives are ‘Very Highly Applicable’ for employment, and these are ‘Reflected’ in the culinary booklets across all the course topics. Comparison indices between the level of applicability and level of reflectivity, however, revealed areas of ‘Opportunities for Improvement’ for the design of an eFolio for the course. Recommendations include designing an eFolio that reflect the skill-content of the course
Development of a Learning Enrichment Material in Morphology: A Focus on Morphemes and Inflections
Get PDFMorphological awareness comprises primarily knowledge about the pairing of sound and meaning in a language and the word formation rules that guide the possible combination of morphemes. If knowledge of word form and meaning are important to vocabulary acquisition, then it seems logical that those who are more gifted with regard to morphological awareness are better equipped to grow their vocabulary. This study aimed to develop a learning enrichment material in morphology to college students. Specifically, it sought to focus on morphemes and inflections as the 93 Education English major students were already grammatically competent on the use of derivational and inflectional morphemes with reference to the findings of the studies entitled “On Derivational Morphemes: Grammatical Competence of College Students” and On Inflectional Morphemes: Grammatical Competence of College Students” respectively. The descriptive survey method was utilized as the research described and attempted to interpret the overall level of grammatical competence on derivational and inflectional morphemes of Education English major students. Survey and written test questionnaires were used as instruments of this study on which findings revealed that majority of the college students were found to have high grammatical competence on derivational and inflectional morphemes. For this reason, development of a learning enrichment material focused on morphemes and inflections was deemed imperative
Effectiveness of Indigenized Learning Module for Grade II Ayta Pupils
Get PDFThe classroom action research focused on the Effectiveness of Indigenized Learning Module for Grade II Ayta pupils in Bueno Elementary School, Capas West District. The diverse group of learners in Bueno, Capas, Tarlac were mixed ethno linguistic group of Ayta Mag Antsi, Sambal Botolan, Ayta Abellen and Capampangan. The Indigenized Module in Improving Aytas’ Number Sense used the indigenous language of Ayta Mag Antsi and Sambal Botolan because of dominant used of the language in Grade II. The implementation of Indigenized Module on Mathematics conducted during the third quarter of the school year 2018-2019. The researcher used Purposive sampling method for non-probability sampling technique that was selected with the 36 Grade II IP learners. The one Group Pretest/ Posttest Design with Table of Specification were used in the study. The instrument used in the test is Kudder- Richardson Formula 20. Furthermore, the researcher used interview questions on learning experiences and observation notes. The scores subjected to test of difference or t-test in order to identify the significant difference of their scores supplemented by Shapiro-wilk test for normality. The Indigenized Module in Improving Ayta’s Number Sense was effective. Findings revealed that the used of Indigenized Module improved the academic performance of the IP learners. In addition, they obtained higher mean in their posttest and delayed posttest compared to their pretest which lead to higher mean percentage score. Accepting the fact that innovative teaching approaches had a great influence in encouraging IP learners to perform better with the help of the culture bearer, the researcher was able to confirm that Indigenized Module was effective. Lastly, IP learners were active on the class especially when the culture bearer explains the lesson using the indigenous language while the IP learners who can’t speak Ayta language were silent however the non-IP teacher explains the lesson using the language of Capampangan and Tagalog for them to understand

Relationship of Perceived Behavioral Control and Adoption of Internet Banking in the Presence of a Moderator
Get PDFInternet banking is most remarkable in consumer banking segment alongside the fast-paced financial innovations. In practical scenario, internet banking is a contextual phenomenon. Hence, this research endeavored to determine the association of adoption and perceived behavioral control (PBC) variables on adoption of internet banking in the context of Sri Lankan commercial banks. Sample was drawn from the customers of three of the leading private banks. Accounts opening officials were selected as enumerators and data collected through self-administered questionnaires. Initially 450 research questionnaires were disseminated and only 307 were considered for the final data analysis. Principal factors of PBC were identified by conducting principal component analysis. TAM was extended using the PBC and constructs of the variables were measured by five-point Lickert scale. Hypothesis testing was conducted by correlation analysis afterwards, multiple regression analysis using hierarchical method along with diagnosis tests for outliers, residuals, influential cases performed while supplementary statistical tests namely, trend analysis and contrast test of ANOVA, ANCOVA and Hayes’s process for moderation analysis were simultaneously used for further analysis. Empirical evidences supported two hypotheses indicating the positive relationships of PBC and adoption, towards internet banking acceptance. Additionally, it was exposed that there are significant differences between demographic variables. Third hypothesis based on the presence of differences in adoption of internet banking between low income category customers as against higher income categories was also supported accordingly. Subsequently, ANCOVA test identified that the covariate; age was not significantly related to the respondents’ internet banking acceptance whilst the moderation analysis has confirmed relationship between PBC and internet banking adoption is being moderated by the age of the respondent. As a final note, researchers have forwarded several suggestions for internet banking service providers and system developers towards developing marketing strategies to enhance the adoption of internet banking
