Implementation of Inclusive Education Among Secondary Schools in Lingayen, Pangasinan, Philippines
Get PDFThe study “Implementation of Inclusive Education Among Secondary Schools in Lingayen, Pangasinan, Philippines” examined how inclusive education is applied in public secondary schools and identified challenges faced by learners with disabilities. Despite existing national policies like the Inclusive Education Act and DepEd Orders, a gap remains between policy and classroom implementation. The research involved 33 junior high school teachers, selected through convenience sampling, and utilized a structured survey questionnaire with statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, average weighted mean, and Pearson Chi-square test. It assessed the level of inclusive education implementation in terms of academic progress, social and psychological support, and school physical facilities while also analyzing the extent of challenges teachers face. Findings revealed that while social and psychological support had the highest implementation, academic progress, and physical facilities were only moderately addressed, highlighting persistent difficulties. Key issues included the lack of trained SPED personnel, inconsistent school policies, large class sizes, insufficient training, and minimal parental involvement. Despite these difficulties, results showed no significant relationship between teachers\u27 demographic profiles and the implementation level, indicating shared experiences across educators. The study emphasized the need for regular teacher training, improved resources, and stronger collaboration among school administrators, parents, and policymakers to enhance inclusive education. An intervention plan focusing on continuous teacher training, resource development, and stakeholder collaboration was recommended to bridge gaps and improve learning opportunities for differently-abled students

The Effectiveness of Implementing the Bidikmisi Program at Jember University
Get PDFImplementing the Bidikmisi program is a government policy to provide access to learning in higher education for underprivileged people with exemplary academic achievements. The Bidikmisi program is carried out according to the 3T principle: on target, on time, and in the right amount. This program is still experiencing various obstacles in its implementation that affect the achievement of program objectives. These obstacles also occur at the University of Jember as one of the tertiary institutions implementing the Bidikmisi program, both in the process of acceptance, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. This study aims to see the effectiveness of implementing the Bidikmisi program at the University of Jember using evaluation research with descriptive percentage analysis. Respondents in this study were Jember University students receiving the 2017 Bidikmisi program and managers of the Bidikmisi program at Jember University. Data collection techniques using interview methods, observation methods, and questionnaire methods. The analysis results show that implementing the Bidikmisi program at the University of Jember has been very effective as measured by four aspects. The aspect targeting accuracy of the Bidikmisi program has been effective because the program\u27s recipients have met the target criteria. Then the aspect of program socialization has also been running effectively in its implementation. Bidikmisi recipients stated that information could be obtained quickly, clearly, and consistently according to policy. Aspects of achieving program goals have also been very effective, where increasing access and learning opportunities have been completed. Increasing learning achievement has also shown effective results, but achieving the goals of ensuring timely studies and producing independent graduates still needs to be improved, including aspects of program monitoring that still find obstacles that need to be evaluated for future improvements

Automatic Turn Signal for Motor Vehicles using Road Navigation Application
Get PDFOne of the causes of the traffic accidents is drivers making sudden and unexpected turns and failing to use their turn signals correctly. This “Automatic Turn Signal for Motor Vehicles using Road Navigation Application” aims to create a device that connects to a road navigation application and automatically activates turn signals of a motor vehicle. The system is designed to control the vehicle’s turn signal lights by detecting the need of turning and assist the user in navigating to the desired location using the directions generated from Google Maps API. This study employed Developmental Quantitative research and Iterative Waterfall method in its development. A control box is installed to a motor vehicle which contains Atmega328P as its main controller, a relay to switch the turn signal lights and a HC-05 module to communicate with the mobile app through Bluetooth technology. System Testing was done to ensure that the device is working according to specification, the following were tested: unit testing, communication with the API, turn point detection, communication between hardware and software modules. The results show that the mobile app, control box and the API were successfully integrated
E-Chequer: A Smart Exam -Checking Machine using Image Processing Technique
Get PDFThis study developed an E-Chequer: A Smart Exam-Checking Machine Using Image Processing Technique. The research aims to identify the feasibility and effectiveness of using image processing techniques for automated exam grading among secondary level teachers in public schools. Specifically, it aims to (1) to develop a system that will help secondary-level teachers in terms of functionality, reliability, efficiency, and usability in checking the exams, (2) to identify the significant differences between the conventional way and the designed project in terms of checking exams. (3) to build a machine that will help the secondary level teachers lessen their workload. A great significance of this study is speed and efficiency when it comes to checking, assessment and data analysis of the students’ exam papers. A machine can check a large amount of papers in a small amount of time compared to a human teacher. A Developmental Research Method concept was employed with 15 preliminary respondents and 13 evaluators, that includes secondary level teachers and professionals. The data were analyzed using statistical analysis. The device obtained an error rate of 1.33%, a precision of 100%, a recall of 96%, and an F1 score of 97.96%. Moreover, the accuracy of the device, based on the calculated Precision, Recall, and F1 Score, is 96%. The overall rating for the design project is 4.25 out of 5, showing that the respondents AGREE that the device meets the standard features and characteristics for property evaluation and serves the needs of the stakeholders, and so holds value. The device can perform bulk checking, and the scanning rate is only 9 exam papers per minute. Also, it only accepts A5 paper size and is limited to the customized answer sheet and 50 items only. For the volume of the exam paper, it can handle a maximum of 50 exam papers in one go. The contributing factors to paper jams include the quality and condition of the paper used and incorrect loading of the paper tray
Service Quality and Dining Atmosphere’s Value on Pangasinan’s Local Coffee Shop Customers’ Service and Retention
Get PDFThe study have utilized a descriptive quantitative design which used the SERVEQUAL model with the aim to assess the relationship among the three main variables namely: service quality, dining atmosphere and customer retention of selected local coffee shops in Pangasinan. The results revealed that client retention is most significantly influenced by pleasant predicted emotion, with comfort and relaxation ranking highest. To avoid discontent, negative feelings should be watched, especially those related to cost and convenience. Customers\u27 readiness to promote the coffee shop and desire for new experiences indicate that they are usually positive about the brand. Although customers are likely to return, behavioral intention indicates that long-term retention may be impacted by price sensitivity and outside competition. Younger consumers have distinct tastes and expectations for service quality than older age groups, according to the substantial correlation found between age and Gen Y respondents (those between the ages of 26 and 45).This research may provide several theoretical advances to the body of knowledge already written about local coffee shops operations
