Remediating Strategic Intervention Material (RSIM) for Statistics and Probability
No full textThis multiphase mixed methods design research was conducted to develop a Remediating Strategic Intervention Material (RSIM) for Statistics and Probability for Grade 10 students. Research findings revealed that problem solving as the most essential skill in any area of learning is not given too much attention and importance as shown by the least learned competencies in Statistics and Probability of the majority of Aklanon students. In fact, 4 out of 4 or 100% of their least learned competencies involve problem solving activities. These competencies are: (1) Solves problems involving permutations and combination, (2) Solves problems involving probability, (3) Calculates specified measure of position (e.g., 90th percentile) of a set of data and (4) Finds the probability of (A U B). Hence, the researcher developed a Remediating Strategic Intervention Material (RSIM) in response to these competencies with the integration of different learning activities in line with the suggested teaching strategies of the teachers. The developed material was then evaluated by the students and teachers using the Pilot Testing Tool and Learning Resource (LR) Quality Assurance Tools. After the evaluation, the material was found acceptable in terms of its content, language and layout and format. Moreover, students and teachers expressed their satisfaction with the material highlighting its suitability, simplicity, relatability and comprehensiveness These results underscore the potential of targeted intervention materials in strengthening problem solving competencies, a challenge common in mathematics education worldwide. This study offers valuable insights to curriculum developers and educators to bridge foundational skills through localized and innovative intervention materials
Iba Si Eba: An Assessment of the Gender and Development (GAD) Program as a Basis for Improvement
No full textThis study assessed the Gender and Development (GAD) program in Lucena City, with the objective of assessing community awareness, availability of the program, participation, existing policies, and barriers to implementation. A descriptive quantitative research design and purposive sampling were used to gather data from five barangays with the largest populations. Findings were supposed to inform the development of integrated and sustainable GAD initiatives addressing gender-based violence and promoting gender equality effectively. Demographics reflect participatory involvement from the younger generations, who are mostly within the 18-27 age category. Women are very participatory at 78%; hence, there needs to be a participatory balance between men and LGBTQIA+ sectors. 39% were college-educated, but this did not transfer to high levels of awareness as information and outreach were not dispersed. The programs were not made available to all barangays; scheduling, access, and resources were all different and not accessible at the same levels to participate. Yet, staff training, resource allocation, community involvement, and policy implementation still face issues. Recommendations would include diversification in communication strategy, inclusiveness, program inconsistencies, and monitoring and implementation mechanisms. This study, therefore, served to highlight the importance of partnership between local governments, stakeholders, and community people in the enhancement of gender equality and the effectiveness of GBV, leading to safer communities

No full textThis study investigates the employability and career trajectories of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) graduates of Sultan Kudarat State University (SKSU)—Kalamansig Campus from 2018 to 2022. It employs a descriptive research design to gather data.The respondents were 137 BSED graduates selected using conven-ience sampling. The study utilized the Commission on Higher Educa-tion (CHED) standardized questionnaire but modified it to align with its objectives. This questionnaire was distributed via an online sur-vey platform. Statistical treatment involved frequency and percent-age.Results revealed that most graduates were in the 26-30 age group, with females outnumbering males and most residing in municipality areas. Graduates cited career advancement and attractive compensa-tion as key reasons for taking the BSED program, supported by insti-tutional scholarships and awards. Employment status showed a high employment rate, with many graduates securing stable teaching positions locally. Graduates rated the relevance of their degree to their present work as highly relevant, highlighting competencies in research, communication, and leader-ship as pivotal in meeting workplace demands.The study concludes that the university\u27s programs effectively prepare graduates for the teaching profession, though further im-provements are needed to address gaps in leadership opportunities and long-term career progression. Recommendations include enhanc-ing curriculum design to integrate emerging competencies, strength-ening pre-graduation training to reduce unemployment due to lack of experience, and developing targeted leadership programs to support career advancement. These initiatives aim better to align the univer-sity\u27s offerings with labor market needs, ensuring sustained employ-ability and professional growth for graduates
Exploring Emilio Aguinaldo College Nursing Graduate Outcomes: A Longitudinal Study
No full textThe tracer study sheds light on the importance of feedback from nurs-ing alumni about various aspects of their post-graduation experience. Its main purpose is to assess the effectiveness and relevance of the educational programs provided. The study typically collects infor-mation on employment status, job satisfaction, skills acquired, and the relevance of these skills to the labor market. Strengthening the relationship between the school and the alumni fosters networking opportunities, mentorship, and contributions to the Marian School of Nursing. The study specifically aimed to explore career placement and progression. A quantitative descriptive approach was used to analyze survey responses from 201 alumni nurses who graduated between 1992 and 2023. Online surveys were administered to alumni via Google forms. Descriptive statistics were utilized to analyze re-spondents\u27 feedback. Results revealed that the majority have re-mained to work in the Philippines at 72% while a few Emilian nurses have chosen to work in the United States of America at 8.9%. Seven-teen percent (17%) of the respondents diverted to other career pathways or non-nursing jobs, with a predominance of Nursing grad-uates settling with their chosen career (83%). Based on the respond-ents\u27 viewpoint, they have expressed deep gratitude towards their alma mater. Mostly have praised EAC for the gained excellent educa-tional experience and precious memories they have had during col-lege days. These are consistent achievements of the program goals and outcomes where alumni are expected to live a life of Virtue, Ex-cellence and Service. However, the study\u27s findings suggest that our nursing leaders in academia and practice should make a firm com-mitment to working together to promote high-quality nursing prac-tice as well as high-quality nursing education. Global nursing leaders have the power to educate not only the next generation of nurses but also the public, including policymakers in both public and private in-stitutions. This is particularly true when it comes to enacting perti-nent laws that will help produce high-caliber nurses for both nursing practice and nursing education

Emotional Intelligence and Aggressive Behaviors: The Case of Police Offic-ers Frontliners Amid Covid-19 Pandemic
No full textThis study aimed to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and aggressive behaviors among Philippine National Po-lice (PNP) frontliners during the COVID-19 pandemic. The respond-ents included 180 police officers from the Dipolog and Dapitan City Police Stations. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design and a quantitative approach, data were gathered through a question-naire checklist and analyzed using frequency counting, percentages, weighted mean, standard deviation, the Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient.The findings revealed that police officers exhibited high levels of emo-tional intelligence, including self-awareness, emotion regulation, self-motivation, social awareness, social skills, and receptivity. Emotional intelligence was unaffected by age, sex, or years of experience. Mean-while, the officers demonstrated rare physical aggression but moder-ate levels of verbal, emotional, and hostile aggression, resulting in an overall moderate level of aggression. Aggressive behaviors showed no significant differences based on age or years of experience but var-ied significantly by sex. It means that women often score higher in social awareness and empathy, while men excel in self-confidence or emotion regulation. Moreover, the study identified a marginal but significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and aggressive behaviors at a medium level. The findings suggest that law enforcement officers should enhance their ability to monitor and manage emotions in themselves and others to guide their actions effectively. It is recommended that police stations in Dipolog and Dapitan establish partnerships with health and social care providers to support staff well-being, manage risks, and address aggressive be-havior incidents through prevention, protection, and treatment strat-egies

Thematic analysis revealed key challenges, including unfamiliarity with AI, concerns about accuracy and credibility, and risks of over-reliance on AI-generated content. Despite these concerns, participants recognized ChatGPT’s ability to enhance lesson planning, foster creativity, and support differentiated instruction. The findings highlight the need for structured AI training in teacher education programs, ethical guidelines for responsible AI use, and institutional support for effective AI integration. The study concludes that ChatGPT can serve as a valuable supplementary tool in teacher preparation, provided that educators receive adequate training and institutional backing. Future research should explore interactive methodologies, such as focus groups or classroom-based AI interventions, to gain deeper insights into its pedagogical applications
Puppets and Protection: The Impact of Puppet-Based Videos on Teaching Pre-schoolers About COVID-19
No full textThe UNICEF’s Annual Report 2020 stressed the profound effect of the pandemic on the lives of children. When schools closed indefinitely and they lost access to many vital services, their felt anxious and unsettled (UNICEF, 2021). Young children are most vulnerable. To be able to protect them, they must be given accurate information on COVID-19. Although information about this infectious disease abound, they are mostly intended for adults. Hence, the need to design an informative material that is suitable for young children. Following the ADDIE model, the researchers designed a puppet video consisting of three episodes presented using the Filipino language that focused mainly on COVID-19 awareness and precautions. Forty-two pupils, 32 teachers, and 17 parents from three Day Care Centers participated in the study. The pupils were tested before and after watching the videos. Results show a statistically significant improvement in awareness, with the average score increasing by 0.43 points (from 14.41 to 14.83). The change is unlikely to be caused by random chance (p < 0.018), signifying the effectiveness of the material in improving COVID-19 awareness. Likewise, the teachers and parent-participants found the video highly effective in enhancing their children’s awareness of the dreaded disease. This study proves that a well-prepared, interesting, and highly informative technology-enhanced instructional material can be an effective method of raising awareness about health and social issues among very young children
