Academic Burnout, Emotional Intelligence and Academic Performance of the Bachelor of Elementary Education Students
No full textAims: This study aimed to determine the relationship of the academic burnout to the emotional intelligence, and academic performance of the Apayao State College – Bachelor of Elementary Education (ASC-BEEd) students. Specifically, it identified the profile, the level of academic burnout, the level of emotional intelligence, and the academic performance of the ASC-BEEd students. It also identified the relationship between profile and academic burnout, profile and emotional intelligence, profile and academic performance, academic burnout and emotional intelligence, academic burnout and academic performance, and emotional intelligence and academic performance.
Study Design: Descriptive correlational design was employed during the study. The data were analyzed with the use of frequency count, percentage distribution, weighted mean, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Apayao State College, Bachelor of Elementary Education Department, School Year 2022 – 2023.
Methodology: The instruments used were profiling (demographic data), the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory – Student Version (CBI), Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), and the respondents Grade Point Average (GPA). Frequency count and percentage distribution was used to show the profile of the respondents. Weighted Mean was used to present the level of academic burnout in terms of personal burnout, studies related burnout, colleague related burnout and teacher-related burnout. Also, it will be used to determine the level of emotional intelligence in terms of Self-Emotion Appraisal (SEA), others’ Emotion Appraisal (OEA), use of Emotion (UOE), and Regulation of Emotion (ROE), and level of academic performance of the respondents. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test the significant relationship between the profile and academic burnout; profile and emotional intelligence; profile and academic performance; academic burnout and emotional intelligence; academic burnout and academic performance; and emotional intelligence and academic performance of the respondents. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the data.
Results: The findings revealed that in terms of the respondents’ profile, most of them are between 21-25 years old and there are more female respondents than male respondents. More than half of the respondents are third-year and regular students while only 12% are married. 65% are Ilocano and have only one device-used wherein most of them are residents of rural areas with low speed of internet connectivity. Furthermore, most have 5 to 7 members in the family and their parents are high school and elementary graduates. Also, most of them belongs to families in the low-income group. As to the level of academic burnout of the respondents’ personal burnout, studies-related burnout, colleague-related burnout, and teacher-related burnout are moderate while for their emotional intelligence as to Self-Emotion Appraisal (SEA), Others’ Emotion Appraisal (OEA), Use of Emotion (UOE), and Regulation of Emotion (ROE) is slightly high. Most of the respondents are on the average level as to their academic performance. Furthermore, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient revealed that there is a significant relationship between the level of academic burnout and the sex of the respondents, which implies that female respondents have higher academic burnout than male who usually have stronger personality. Also, there is a significant relationship between the academic performance of the respondents and their ethnicity which implies that their academic performance is comparable with the different ethnic groups within Apayao.
Conclusion: The level of academic burnout of the Apayao State College – Bachelor of Elementary Education students is on moderate level for personal and studies-related burnout, while low level for colleague and teacher-related burnout. Their level of emotional intelligence is slightly high for Self-Emotion Appraisal (SEA), Others’ Emotion Appraisal (OEA), and Regulation of Emotion (ROE) while it is high level for the Use of Emotion (UOE). The Academic performance of the respondents is on average level. The sex of the respondents and their academic burnout are significantly associated while the ethnicity and the academic performance of the respondents have a significant relationship. Emotional intelligence could affect the academic burnout of the respondents
Implementation of Indigenous Peoples Education (IPEd) in Lower Calanasan District, Philippines
No full textPurpose: The study aimed to assess the implementation of the Indigenous People Education (IPEd) Program and its relationship to the learners’ scholastic achievement at the District of Lower Calanasan, Division of Apayao, school year 2021-2022.
Methods: The study looked into the personal profiles of the respondents in terms of age, sex, civil status, faculty rank, length of teaching service in years, and their highest educational attainment, These personal profiles of respondents will be tested through the Pearson r, if there’s a bearing with their perceptions on the level of implementation of the IPED Program along the seven indicators namely: Pedagogy and Methodology, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Curriculum Content and Planning, Language of Instruction, Teacher Training, Instructional Materials, and Assessment and Evaluation. The null hypothesis was either rejected or accepted at .05 level of significance.
Results: The study found out that majority of the teachers in Lower Calanasan, Apayao are female whose age is in their mid-30s. The majority of the teachers are married who hold a Bachelor’s Degree with a Teacher I position. The said teachers have an average year of experience in teaching for over 10 years as of writing.
Digging deeper to the Level of Implementation of IPED, the teachers indicated that they were able to implement the Pedagogy and Methodology, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Teacher training, Instructional materials, and the Assessment and Evaluation to a “great extent”.
Meanwhile, only Language of Instruction and Curriculum Content and Planning tallied a descriptive value of “to a very great extent”. In terms of the best practices of the teachers in implementing the IPED Program, the teachers indicated the strategy on “Translating modules of K to 12 into the Isnag dialect to make a more contextualized lesson”. When it comes to perceiving the benefits of the IPED Program, the teachers strongly agree that the said program, has a significant effect on the learners. Specifically, the study found out that the IPED program is helpful in making the IP learners have become active in class activities.
On the other hand, the students were found out to have achieved a very satisfactory mark in their core subjects during the School year 2021-2022. However, it can be noticed that the marks of the students are near the demarcation of the Satisfactory range.
Conclusions: Finally, the study found out that the level of implementation of the IPED Program particularly the indicators such as Pedagogy and Methodology; and Curriculum Content and Planning are both significantly related to the learners’ level of performance in their core subjects
Agency and Representation of Female Characters in Selected African Literary Texts: A Study of Agency in Selected Texts of African Literature
No full textThis study examined how each female character\u27s sense of self contributes to the formation of agency. It makes the case that women\u27s agreement and collusion in their own subordination are implied everywhere feminist intellectuals embrace male hegemony as the all-powerful ruling principle of androcentric power systems. In a solely library-based study, three novels written by African authors were analyzed utilizing a feminist theoretical framework which affected women literature who were lacked empowerment. Given their superior comprehension of social relationships due to their insider-outsider social location, oppressed people are charged with building their own revolution. This theory\u27s concept of epistemic advantage was highly important to this undertaking. In the findings, the study\u27s conclusions highlight two main categories of feminine reactions to patriarchal authority. The non-agentive female characters who are effectively victims of dominance relationships and their agentive counterparts who overcome the same strong pressures are the two types of femininity that are discussed in Chapter 2. According to chapter three, actors must use their own free will, willpower, and dedication to pursue the ideal of agency, which is neither inherent nor granted. In accordance to the study\u27s findings in chapter four, women\u27s traditionally undervalued selfhood offers both enabling and limiting opportunities for the exercise of situated agency that can transcend systemic barriers to humanist ideals. It also confirms that an actor\u27s level of success is determined by their own volition and active participation. The study comes to the conclusion that any social justice initiative that aims to achieve significant and long-lasting results in support of women\u27s empowerment and liberation must leverage women\u27s sense of self and raise their motivation in the involvement of literature

Based to this findings, 2% finished college, 28% finished only primary, 37% finished secondary and 33% college. More than 50% concurred with the impact of level of education. small business owners should value education and proper training to acquire the necessary business skills
The Impact of Multicultural Education on Student Performance: Examining Ethnicity, Ideology and Teacher Perceptions
No full textThis study examines the impact of multicultural education on student performance by analyzing key variables such as ethnicity, ideological diversity (referring to varied cultural and educational perspectives among students), and teacher perceptions. Using a descriptive correlational research design, data were collected through structured survey questionnaires that assessed teachers’ demographic profiles, teaching strategies, and students’ academic performance. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were employed to examine the relationships among these variables, providing insights into how teachers’ backgrounds influence student outcomes. The study specifically investigates the relationship between teachers’ demographic profiles (e.g., years of experience, cultural competency, and professional training) and students’ academic achievement to understand their role in multicultural education’s effectiveness. Findings suggest that multicultural education positively influences student learning outcomes, but its effectiveness is mediated by instructional strategies and socio-cultural factors (Banks, 2019; Gay, 2020). The study highlights the need for professional development programs to enhance teachers’ multicultural competency (Nieto, 2019; Sleeter & Grant, 2021). Additionally, the study acknowledges external influences such as socioeconomic background and institutional policies as factors that may affect student performance and should be further explored

The global widespread of acceptance and usage of the internet and its associated technologies has become a critical part of modern-day life, especially among undergraduates in Nigerian universities, whereas excessive and uncontrolled use of the internet popularly known as internet addiction negatively affects everyday health life, internet addiction if not deliberately put on check will become a full-blown global health concern of the 21st Century. The study employed description and critical analysis of existing data and literature searches using Google scholar and Hinari electronic database as the methodology; a systematic review of the existing studies on internet usage and addiction, its underlying health consequences and possible prevention among undergraduates in Nigeria was carried out. This study found that factors that influence internet addiction among undergraduates include peer influence, family and demographic characteristics. Also, there are associated health consequences of internet usage addiction which include physical, mental and social. There is a need for serious and decisive intervention in order to minimize the challenges being faced by students who are addicted to the Internet
An Investigation of Analgesic and Anti-inflammatory Activity of Ageratum conyzoides Linn. Leaves
No full textThe word "Herbal medicine" refers to the utilization of medicinal plants for the prevention or treatment of illness. This manuscript emphasizes the therapeutic potential of Ageratum conyzoides leaf extract in treating pain and inflammation, validating its traditional use in herbal medicine. Through rat model experimentation, the study offers empirical support for the plant’s analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, particularly at higher doses. Moreover, the research underscores the significance of ethnopharmacological practices in drug discovery and contemporary drug development. This study utilized rat models to assess the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of Ageratum Conyzoides leaf extract. The carrageenan-induced paw edema model was utilized to evaluate anti-inflammatory activity. In contrast, the acetic acid-induced writhing test and the tail flick method were performed to ascertain analgesic efficiency. Rats were administered varying doses of 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg of the Ageratum Conyzoides extract. In the anti-inflammatory experiment, only the 800 mg/kg dosage yielded statistically significant anti-inflammatory effects (p < 0.05), while other levels had no observable impact. In the acetic acid writhing test, all groups exhibited decreased writhing responses, but none were statistically significant compared to the control group. The tail-flick test, however, had a distinct analgesic effect at elevated doses. The 800 mg/kg dosage had substantial analgesic effects at both the two and 4-hour intervals (p < 0.05), while the 800 mg/kg dosage reached significance at the 4-hour point. The results demonstrate the conventional application of Ageratum conyzoides in relieving pain and inflammation, evidently attributable to its elevated concentrations of flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins. The findings align with prior research and ensure the conventional application of Ageratum Conyzoides in the therapy of pain and inflammation
Dietary and Nutritional Influence on Mental Health Outcomes: A Review
No full textThe present review aims to evaluate and synthesize previous research on the impact of food and dietary patterns on mental health. Over the past decade, dietary choices have been implicated in the onset, the progression, and the management of mental disorders. In this review, we analyze evidence on the association between nutritional components and mental health outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, and cognitive functioning from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, and meta-analyses published over the last decade.
The purpose of this review is to highlight the significant impact of diet on mental health and to emphasize the potential of diet interventions to contribute to an integrated approach to the treatment of mental illness. The current evidence suggests that improving diet quality should be a key component in the prevention and management of mental health disorders. Public health initiatives and clinical practices should incorporate dietary counseling to promote mental well-being among the general population
Advancements in Heavy Metal Remediation: A Comprehensive Review of Physical, Chemical and Biological Strategies
No full textThe objective of the review is to highlight the various ways to remediate heavy metal contamination especially Chemical remediation technologies which are of tremendous interest because they can remove and decompose contaminants in contaminated areas. Environmental contamination remains one of the most important global issues. Efforts are made to prevent the discharge of toxic substances into the environment. Many technologies for the remediation of soil, surface water, and groundwater have been developed over time. Nanoremediation and Biological methods, including phytoremediation and mycoremediation, are also discussed for their eco-friendly and cost-effective potential. This review focuses on various remediation strategies, including precipitation, flocculation, adsorption/ ion exchange, chemical oxidation, and soil washing among others. Remediation technologies are typically always intergrated, however, they can also be utilised alone. The type of pollutants and site conditions will determine which system is most cost-effective and efficient. Future Research should be directed towards improving existing and developing new environmentally friendly remedial solutions
Language Assessment Literacy, Self Efficacy, and Work Task Motivation: A Structural Equation Model on Pedagogical Competence of Teachers in Filipino
No full textThis study, conducted in Eastern Visayas, Philippines, investigated the influence of language assessment literacy, self-efficacy, and work-task motivation on the pedagogical competence of teachers in Filipino using structural equation modeling (SEM) as the primary analytical approach. A non-experimental quantitative causal design was employed, utilizing stratified random sampling to select 186 teachers from State Universities and Colleges in the region. Findings revealed very high levels of language assessment literacy and pedagogical competence, alongside high levels of self-efficacy and work-task motivation. Significant correlations emerged between all exogenous variables and the endogenous variable, pedagogical competence. Initial analyses showed poor fit, with Model 1 lacking structural strength and Model 2 lacking stability, making both inadequate for explaining the data. Among the tested models, Model 3 achieved strong fit statistics (CMIN/DF = 1.276, RMSEA = 0.039, CFI = 0.993, GFI = 0.948), establishing it as the best-fit structural model. This model demonstrated that language assessment literacy, with indicators of knowledge and skills; self-efficacy, with self-engagement and self-oriented decision-making; and work-task motivation, with indicators of class preparation, teaching, student evaluation, and administrative tasks, were strong predictors of pedagogical competence. Pedagogical competence, in turn, was best represented by observation, participation, visioning, and reflection. These findings underscore the vital role of language assessment literacy, self-efficacy, and work-task motivation in enhancing the pedagogical competence of Filipino language teachers and offer valuable insights for professional development programs in higher education
