Analyzing the Performance Trends in Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) Among Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) Graduates: A Quantitative Approach
The study analyzes the performance trends in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) among Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) graduates from Sultan Kudarat State University – Kalamansig Campus from 2018 to 2023. A descriptive-comparative research design was employed to statistically measure the objectives of the study. Data were obtained from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). The study’s respondents are 73 first-timers and 112 repeaters. A total of 185 BEEd examinees were the respondents of the study. Also, the study utilized frequency and percentage counts, z-scores, and p-values to compare the performance and test for significant differences. The results revealed that the performance trends among the BEEd graduates was fluctuating. Performance of first-timers are higher than repeaters in most periods, with institutional passing rates below national passing rates. Notably, exceptional performances were recorded during the March 2019, June 2022, and October 2022 examination periods, where institutional passing rates surpassed national passing rates. The study identifies several factors influencing LET performance, including academic preparation, review sessions, and external disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the consistency and preparation of examinees. The data suggest that while first-timers showed relatively strong performance, repeaters faced significant challenges, underscoring the need for targeted support systems to enhance their preparedness and outcomes. The findings highlight the critical importance of continuous monitoring and strategic interventions to improve LET performance.

Lived Experiences of Head Campers in Summer Camp
Summer camps have proven effective in providing opportunities for social contact, personal development, and the improvement of the problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities of the students. However, significant findings about head campers’ lived experiences in the field are scarce, especially in the Philippine context. To provide a groundwork of the phenomenon, this study delved into the head campers\u27 lived experiences in preparation and implementation phases using the descriptive phenomenology of Husserl. At the same time, Colaizzi’s seven-step method was used in thematic analysis. Individual guided interviews were utilized to gather participants’ responses. Nine head campers who were active participants from the beginning up to the end of the program served as the participants of the study. Based on the participants’ narratives, the following themes were generated: a) preparation phase: triumphs in camaraderie, teachers are willing to learn new subject matter, time constraints in preparing the resources, and no ample time to review new subject matter; b) implementation phase: develop students’ positive learning behavior, develop students’ thinking skills, Students unable to master the fundamental knowledge, and teachers are struggling to integrate higher order thinking skills. The findings implied that despite the sector and participants’ efforts to make the program successful, there were still untoward instances that are beyond the program’s expectations. Therefore, mentoring sessions and feed-backing activities all throughout the implementation must be strengthened and closely monitored by higher authorities so they can provide immediate and practical assistance for the head campers
Study of Ontological, Epistemological and Axiological Principles in Final Academic Assignments for Dissertation Scientific Papers: Philosophical Values in Scientific Writing
This research is an initial exploration into the foundational branches of philosophy (axiology, ontology, and epistemology) and their profound implications for the philosophy of language. Investigating the contemporary study of language, the research examines five dissertations to uncover the interplay of these three philosophical domains. The research addresses three key questions: the domains within the philosophy of language covered by the dissertations, the featured interconnection of axiology, ontology, and epistemology in these dissertations, and the development of these domains to bolster arguments. The objectives include discerning how researchers describe these domains in relation to language philosophy, exploring the possibility of discussing a single domain without engaging the others, and fostering an objective discussion of language philosophy within an academic context. The research\u27s significance lies in contributing to a comprehensive understanding of language, its relationship with users and the world, and how the three philosophical domains sustain language existence. It aims to enrich the study of language philosophy for students, particularly those in English Applied Linguistics programs, by emphasizing the correlations between philosophy and language characteristics, acquisition, planning, and translation. The research employs a qualitative approach, analyzing dissertations from a philosophical perspective. Findings reveal that the interconnection of axiology, ontology, and epistemology is intricate, challenging the initial assumption of discussing them separately. Notably, the dissertations exhibit varied emphasis on the three domains. The study concludes with valuable insights into the philosophy of language, highlighting the pivotal role of language in shaping reality, conveying experiences, and expressing cultural influences. The dynamic nature of language and the reciprocal relationship between language and philosophy underscore the need for an open-minded approach and continual engagement in discussions surrounding language philosophy. The research recommends incorporating philosophy as a mandatory course in university curricula to nurture a holistic understanding of language and its philosophical underpinnings
