Bridging Research Competencies and Outcomes: Technological Skills Lead-ing The 21st-Century Research Era
No full textWith the researcher’s assumption that a specific research skill may positively contribute to the learners’ research output, a 240-item standardized test question was conducted among the 231 grade 12 students. The questionnaires are fitted according to the DepEd self-learning modules from the senior high school curriculum. This study developed a model to examine the relationship between the grade 12 students\u27 research skills and their research output. Statistical analysis revealed that learners scored low in Data Analysis, Critical Thinking, and Interpreting Result, with mean scores of 47.4, 44.9, and 43.6, re-spectively. Ran through Jamovi version 2.3.28 software, the correla-tion matrix revealed that six of the eight identified research skills sta-tistically significant to the research output were used for confirmato-ry factor analysis. Two research skills used for the mediation model stood out from the rest. The Information & Literacy skills were better suited to mediate Technological skills and research output compared to Technological skills alone. The model demonstrated a strong rela-tionship between the independent variable-Technological skills, and the dependent variable- their ability to conduct effective research

Analyzing the Impact of Political Instability on Myanmar\u27s Financial Sector and Economic Growth
No full textPrior to the February 1, 2021, coup, Myanmar experienced steady economic progress due to moderate political and economic reforms. However, the coup significantly disrupted this trajectory, placing the economy in a precarious state. This study examines the impact of political instability on Myanmar’s financial sector and economic growth from 2006 to 2023, with a focus on key macroeconomic factors: Political Stability, Inflation, and Unemployment. Using the Markov Switching Dynamic Regression (MSDR) model, the analysis captures how these variables influence economic growth under different economic regimes. The findings reveal that Political Stability and Inflation positively contribute to economic expansion, while Unemployment has a negative effect. The MSDR model uniquely identifies two distinct economic regimes: recessionary periods, where the effects of these variables are weaker or insignificant, and periods of economic boom, where all factors significantly drive growth. These results highlight the critical role of maintaining political stability, controlling inflation, and reducing unemployment to foster sustainable development. The study provides actionable policy recommendations for Myanmar and offers insights for neighboring economies and international policymakers on managing political and economic crises. Strengthening stability, promoting inclusive growth, and enhancing financial resilience are essential steps toward long-term economic progres
Challenges and Coping Strategies of Non-Education Graduate Mathematics Teachers in Senior High School: A Phenomenological Approach
No full textThis study explores the challenges and coping strategies of non-education graduate Mathematics teachers in senior high school, an area that has received limited attention. Using a phenomenological research design, the study examined the experiences of ten non-education graduate Mathematics teachers from a senior high school in the Philippines. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings revealed challenges in classroom management, selecting appropriate teaching strategies, subject knowledge, and perceived stigma. Teachers employed strategies such as peer support, professional development, resourcefulness, and a strong passion for teaching to address these challenges. To strengthen the pedagogical capacity of non-education graduate Mathematics teachers, institutions must offer targeted professional development, structured mentorship, and classroom management support, alongside opportunities for advanced studies and formal recognition to foster sustained growth and effectiveness.

Developing a Comprehensive Psychological Debriefing Program to Enhance the Well-Being of Police Personnel
No full textThis study conducted an assessment of the well-being of members of the Philippine National Police - City Intelligence Unit of the Cebu City Police Office for the period 2016 to 2021. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, utilizing the Ryff Scale 42 Items, Locus of Control, and General Self-Efficacy Scale to gather data. The majority of personnel were male with a baccalaureate degree, and variations were noted in the number of personnel assigned to each police station. The personnel exhibited relatively high scores on all autonomy sub-scales, while the majority demonstrated either low or moderate levels of self-efficacy. Using the Spearman\u27s correlations, Well-being, locus of control, and self-efficacy were found to be statistically significant at the 0.05 level.". This suggests that there is evidence of a linear relationship between these variables in the data. Based on the findings, a comprehensive psychological debriefing program (CPDP) was recommended to improve the well-being of the personnel. The proposed CPDP was tailored to address the unique needs of each group based on their demographic characteristics and psychosocial profiles. The CPDP aimed to enhance autonomy, personal growth, environmental mastery, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance, as well as to foster a culture of psychological health and wellness within the Philippine National Police Intelligence Unit.
